my Lady Waits for Me-
BY o. MILLER.


Ny lady waits far, far away
Amidst New England mountains,
Where creeping rills and talking brooks"
Flow on to deeper fountains;
Where childhood haunts, and joys of home
Crowd on my recollection,
My lady waits-for me she waits,
With lonely circumspection.
My lady waits l-Shes waited long,
She's waited night and morning;
She's waited when the blushing flowers
Were summer paths adorning;
She's waited through long winter-times
Of weather cold and dreary,
She's waited through so many years,
With waiting she's grown weary.
Ny lady waits Yes, still she waits
Though neighbors kind-none kinder
Have gone to dwell in deaths dark tomb,
She waits where duty binds her!
She waits, favored monument
VI heavens choicest blessings
She waits while the sad work of death
All round hath been progressing.
My lady waits Oh, heaven spare
That lady and thy blessings!
Yet spare, Oh, spare them all for me,
They claim my fond caressings
Long years have come and rolled away
Since last at home | met them,
And were the years ten times as long,
never could forget them.
Then guard, kind Heaven, safely guard,
And kindly do protect them,
Till that home shall bless again,
To health and peace elect them
They've waited we'll They We waited long,
In hopeful expectation
That each succeeding year would bring
Me to their lonely station.
My lady waits Wait on, wait on
Yet but little longer,
And | again thy home will bless,
And make its union stronger.
Too long Ah, yes, too long thy brow
Hast worn its veil of sadness!
But soon I'll come that veil dispel,
And cheer thy heart with gladness.

"SEARcH THE SCRIPTURES" - Some,
forty or fifty years ago there was telling,
sermon preached in the cold Bay State"
by a famous minister, in which occurred
the following droll passages:
My dear brethren, God works in a
mysterious way, and amt above using the
humblest means to bring his critters to
their senses, when he sees them slothful
in business, and a-going down to hell with
their eyes shut; and here's case in pint,
which it affords solemn warning to all
who neglect this great duty. Some time,
ago, | knew a man down at Marblehead
Point-a fisherman desperate wicked
man, profane swearer, drunkard who
never darkened the door of meetin'
house, or took delight in holy things
He had a family--a wife, three sons and.
two daughters bad as himself all a.
going straight down to hell as fast as
their legs could carry them. But at last
they were brought to their senses in this
wise, and from limbs of Satan transmog-E
rifed into children of light. Once upon
a time there was great trouble in the
heads Of the family. 1t was long since
they had been moved or raked, and so to
speak, there was varmin in the grass
They all got desperate uneasy, and to come
to the pint at once, there was loud cry
for the fne-tooth comb. But, my friends,
nobody knew where it was 1t couldn't
be found 1t couldn't be found! And
so 1T went on from bad to worse. Scratch
in was of no USE twas too bad for
scratchin''. Lookin' wouldn't do-'twas
too bad for lookin'. They hunted every
where FIR the old fne-tooth comb-from
garrett to cellar, from cellar to garrett.
They ransacked every closet and every
drawer, but it couldn't be found" Here
the preacher paused, and looked around,
then went on in low, solemn, and en-
phatic tone: "At length it was found,
who found it? I don't know; but it ,cas
found, to the great joy and everlasting
salvation of all the family. And, my
friends, aohere do you think they found it?
| say, schere do you think they found -,
A long pause" They found it in the old;
family Bible, (sotto rocc.) They foundit,
in the old family Bible, (crecendo.) They
found it in the old flmily Bible, (an a.
vosce of thunder,) and the dust lay SO
thick on it that you might have written
ddnnation on the kiver. Therefore, ana
tone OF deep ensotion0 } my beloved breth-
reu, search The Scriptures"

"LLoYD's COFFEE HOUSE. Max Schles-
niger, in his very readable work, thu:
alludes to "noyd's,' place famous
throughout the commercial world:
In the London Exchange Building itself
there is broad staircase, with crowds of
busy people ascending and descending,
and there is door with large gold letters,
Lloyd's Coffee House" Let us ascend
that stoircase, and see what sort of coffee
house this is. We pass through large
hall from which doors open to several
rooms; at each door stands porter in
scarlet livery. In the hall itself are sew
eral marble statues and large marble
tablet, which the merchants of London
erected to the Times, out of gratitude
for the successful labors of that Journal
in unmasking gigantic scheme of inn
position and fraud, which threatened
ruin to the whole trade of London. In
the centre of the hall there is a large
black board, on which are written the
names and destinations of all the ships
carrying mails which will sail from English
ports on that and the following day. In
the corner to the right there is door with
the inscription, g Captains Room" No
one is allowed to enter this room but the
commanders of merchant vessels, or those
who have business totransact with them.
Next to it is the Commercial Room" the
meeting place of all the foreign merchants
who come to London. Weprefer entering
a saloon on the other side of the hall, the
doors of which are continually opening
and shMtting; it is crowded with the un-
derwriters, that is to say, with capitalists,
who do business in the assurance of vessels
and their freights The telegraphic mes
sages of vessels arrived, sailed, stranded,
or lost, are first brought into this ROOM
Whoever enters by this door, walks, in the
first instance, to large folio volume which
lies on a desk of its own. 1t is Lloyds
Journal, containing short entries of the
latest events in English ports and the sea-
ports in every other part Of the world
1t tells the underwriters whether the YES
sells which they have insured have sailed,
whether they have beenspoken with or have
reached the port of their destination. Are
they overdue run aground?- wreck
ed! lost! In this room there are always
millions at stake. So firmly established is
the reputation of this institution, that there
is hardly ever a bark sailing from the ports
of the Baltic, or the French, Spanish, or
Indian Seas, which is not insured at
Lloyd's. Its branch establishments are in
all the commercial ports of the world but
its head Office is in Cornhill and in the
rooms of the Exchange. Before we again
descend the stairs, let us for one moment
enter the reading room. Perfect silence;
tables, chairs, desks; readers here and there;
men of all countries and of all nations
all around the walls, high desks with files
of newspapers, whose shape and color in
dicate that they have not been printed in
Europe; they are, indeed, papers from the
other side of the ocean, China, Barbary,
Brazilian, Australian, Cape, and Honolulu
papers-a collection unriyaled in extent.

In reference to all the elections, the Bogus
Legislature and Laws, the conleet between
Whitfield and Recder, and the Free Constr
tuition, the Committee reported the following
facts;
Frst-That each election IN the Terrific
nv held under the organic or alleged Terri
lorial law has been carried 10y organized in
yasions from the State of Missouri by which
the people Of the Territory have been pre-
vented from exercising the rights secured to
them by the organic law.
Second-That the alleged Territorial Leg
sature was an illegally constituted body
and had no power to pass valid laws, and
their cnacimcnts are, therefore, null and
void
Third-That these alleged laws have not
A general thing, been used to protect per-
sons and property and TO punish wrong, but
for unlawful purposes.
Fourth-That the election under which
the sitting delegate, John w. Whitfield,
holds his seat was not held in pursuance Of
any valid law, and that II should be regarded
only as the expression Of the choice of those
resident citizens who voted for him.
Flfth-That the election under which the
con,estinp Delegate, Andrew II Reoder
claims h,s scat, was not held in pursuance
Of law. that it should be regarded only as an
expression Of the choice Of the resident citi-
Gems who voted for him.
Sixth-Thut Andrew Reeder received
greater number Of votes Of resident citizens
than John W. Whitfield for Delegate.
Se,enth-That in the present condition Of
the Territory, fair election cannot be held
s.NHn aftsl NtfatII M.
guarded election law, the selection Of Impair
tial Judges and the presence Of United
States troops at every place Of election
Eighth That the various elections held
by the people of the Territory preliminary
to the formation Of the State government
have been as regular az the disturbed con
dtion Of the Territory would allow and that
the Constitution, passed by the Convention
held in pursuance OF said elections embod>
les the will Of a majority of the people.

4" No Enthusiasm :"

So said the Patriot of the Fremont men
not long ago. On Monday evening last, in
spite Of rain and mud hundreds Of the eiti-
zens Of Montpelier, joined by delegates from
Colais, Woodbury., Mortified and Berlin
assembled at the head Of State Street aud
flung out the banner Of FREMoNr & Day
TON to the breeze, with demonstrations Of
enthusiasm" which were altogether more
than sufficient TO satisfy the nervous gentle
men Of the Patriot office. The crowd then
repaired TO the Free Church. led by the
Mortified Band, and spent the evening in
one Of the most enthusiastic" and interest.
ing political meetings ever held in Mo1tpel,
ler. Among the speakers were Heman Car
penler and c. II Joyce, of Mortified, II. X.

wassXceedingly brief, but completely e6se.
tipe-drawlng prompt and perfect reply
from Mr.. Sluyton, which brought out from
the crowd a unanimous and rousing verde,
ToR Col. Fremont, and AGAINST the Col. of
the Patriot office. The speaking was ex-
ceedipgly good, and the crowd thoroughly
enthusiastic" We presume the Patriot is
satisfied.

County Officers.


Asit is understood that the present incum-
bents Of County Officers have had their
" turn and arc not expected to be nominees
for another election, but an entire new ticket
is to be selected to be voted for on the first
Tuesday Of September next, perhaps few
hints as to the principles that ought to gov
etn this selection Of a new ticket, may not
be out of place at this time, but highly OPP
perfume and proper for the consideration Of
the freemen Of the county.
As TO the present incumbents, let il be
conceded that it was n very iudicious distr-
button through the different towns Of the
county; and now, as the men arc to be
changed, IS it any more than even handed jus.
tce that the iOiCns should also be changed /,
and the new ticket be scected one from
town, and from such towns only as have had
no representation In county officers for the
last two years May we not hope that the
Convention which is to assemble on the 18th
Of August will adopt resolution to this
effect and act accordingly
Perhaps this plan Of just and equal rela-
ton between towns of the county will dis
appoint the fond hopes of many highly re-
spectacle aspiranis for office; but we fancy
this can hardly be considered valid obiec-
ton to a judicious rule Of town equality
Or will IL be plead, as an objection to thls
rule that The best talents Of the county will be
lost for the requisite public service II so,
we answer that this objection implies an ex-
elusive doctrine, which, at the present time,
the people Of the county will not recognize,
but will say-although candidates may high.
y appreciate their own talents and fitness for
Office, we cannot always DO so, but think that
it will be a better chance to get honest and
reliable men if we select from that class IF
our citizens who are prone 10 mind their oSn
business and are ~ often found in our farm
ing towns as elsewhere, and are ever ready
when called for, but seldom come before they
are called.
