PESNsYLyAN1A.--The Washington Union claims
Pennsylvania for Buchanan. 1t claims the old Key
stone for him both in October and November. From
a long article in the Union of the 25th ult., we ex-
tract the following:
But we do not rest upon mere speculation as to the
confidence which we express when we say with
earnestncss and emphasis that Pennsylvania will do
her duty. Nor 90 We make the remark as applicable
only to the November election. We mean distinctly
that we look with unwavering confidence to a Demo
cratic triumph in the preliminary contest which comes
off on the 18th of October. Nor Go we base this pre-
dction merely upon the influence of these consder'-
tons. which we have assumed would inspire patriotic
men with determination to stand by their dlstln-
guished fcoWcitiZen, Our prediction rests upon a
of information on which we implicitly rely. We re-
peat the conviction, that Pennsylvania will do her
duty as well in October as November.
1t will be rccolected that the Union claimed Iowa
and Maine for Buchanan, just as confidently as it now
claims Pennsylvania. Yet, when the election came
on the Buchanan tickets in both of these States we're
completely overwhelmed were beaten out Of sight
and barely escaped annnihation
The predictions of the Union in regard to Pennsyl-
vania are entitled to just much credit as were its
predictions in regard to Iowa and N[ane-no more.
Now, ire unhesitatingly predict that on the l4t of
the present month the Buchanan State ticketn Penn
sylvanl will be utterly routed--worse routed, if pos
sble than were similar tickets in the commonwealth
above named. We confidently hazard our reputation
as prophets on the prediction.
The Union and its newspaper echoes will learn, il
less than two weeks that the "ganle Of brag' upor
which they are relying will not answer their purpose
Indisputable facts will brand their prophecies AND
boastngs as spurious.

THE ORLEANS THEATER.-In company with Mr.
Lamothe, the polite agent, we took cruise through
this renowned temple Of music and the graces on
Saturday. Worlz1nen were engaged in cleaning up
and repairing things for the winter campaign, with
\ busy hands We found that one great improvement
had been made Mr.. Deyele, the artist being at work
upon it, decorating it with his classic brush We
allude to reconstruction Of the proscenium with
view as well to accommodate larger audience, as to
contribute to the aurcuar requirements Of the house.
-Four proscenium boxes have been constructed-two
on each side one over the other-with saloon at
tached to each in the rear, ard belonging exclusively
to it. The boxes and saloons will be elegantly fitted
up, 50 that a family, or a party, may go there and
revel in the gories Of the OPERA Or enjoy the retire
ment Of the home parlor, just as they feel disposed
This is an entirely new feature in the theater, and
will certainly be immensely popular. The top of the
proscenium has been made to arch gracefully toward
the audience and this is an Improvement which it
is expected will considerably enhance the clearness
and sweetness Of the sounds from the stage. We
learn that all the boxes in the theater already
gagged for the grand opera nights throughout the sea-
son. The ship Gothenberg, which has on board the
French troupe, is expected to arrive here about the
18th prox and the theater will be open very soon after
that We have previously given some account of the
company now on their way here ; and we can conf
IDENTIFY predict that the ancient glory Of the theater
will be fully kept up this winter, if not made more
lustrous than before.
Whilst in the theater, we gratifed our curiosity by
a rambe through that mysterious region yclept be-
hind the scenes" The place is a perfect labyrinth
in which, without guide, stranger could easily be
lost and is, as whole, the most complete " curl
osity shop we ever got into. The Orleans Theate1
has escaped the usual fate Of theater and has
once been burnt since its erection forty years ago
From this faint idea may be derived Of the antique
air Of the place, and the oceans Of old properties,
costumes sceneries and machineres that are slowed
away apparently in chaotic confusion but everything
in place where the proper workmen can find it
without delay. Old properties and new mingle to-
gether in the oldest contrast-the statue in Iampa
which has not been seen by an audience in twenty
years, standing in corner covered with dust, close
by the gorgeous Cat a dstance) palanqnin in which
the bewitchng U,id CI'me Colson) disappeared SO
miraculously from the Algerines in Les Amours de
Diable,h few months ago and so we might go on
ad infntum. If we had never heard of theater
and been suddenly introduced into the property rooms
of the Orleans, we would fancy either that were
in toy-shop for giants, or q secondhand furniture
and furnishing warehouse Of some race Of people that
nobody ever heard Of We have been behind the
scenes of other theaters bnt they " no touch il
any respect to those Of the old Orleans.

Swiftly glide our years-they follow each
other like the waves of the ocean. Memory
calls up the person we once knew-tho scenes
in which we were once the actors; they APP
pear before the mind like phantoms of night
vision. Behold the boy rejoicing in the gay
ETY. Of his soul-the wheel of Time cannot
roll too rapidly for him--the light of hope
dances in his eye-the smile of expectation
plays upon his lip-he looks forward for long
years to come--his spirit burns within him
when he hears of great men and mighty deeds
he longs to mount the hill of ambition, to
tread the path of honor, to hear the shout of
applause.
Look at him again-hc is now in the me-
ridan of lile-care has stamped wrinkles
upon his brow-disappointment has dimmed
the lustre Of his eye-sorrow has thrown its
gloom upon his countenance-he looks back
upon the waking dreams of youth, and signs
for their futility-each revolving year seems
to diminish something from his stock of hap
piness, aud he discovers that the season OF
youth-when the pulse Of anticipation beats
nlgh-1S tne only scason ol enjoyment.
Who is he of that aged locks? His form
is bent and totters-his footsteps move more
rapidly towards the tomb-he looks back up
OH the past--his days appear to have been
but few, and he confesses that they were evil
tho magnfcence of tho world fades from
his view, and he sinks down into the silence
of the grave.

q" I'm Going Home"

Dear little Ada she was dreaming of a
vine-enwreathed cottage far off in u pretty
village where she had passed her earliest child
hood. The sound of the babbling stream
greeted her ear-the song of the birds rang
out meriIy on the clear clam air, and the
flowers look up to her blue eye, offering the
same fragrance at the shrine of her Creator
as they did on the day she babe her country
home adieu forever Visions of rich red
strawberries, bushing amidst drapery oil
deep greeu-rosy checked apples, coquettish'

trees of brown nuts snugly hidden away
between understanding clusters of many col

But the dream-sprit brought to the sick
child one vision more welcome than all the

Ada could not understand why 4" mamma

Darling little Ada she wept bitterly whe
we took her away from the birds, and trees
and flowers, and bore her to our city home
She had always been tiny fragile creature
and from the very hour she first breathed tn
impure air Of a crowded city, she began t.
fade like a wild blossom, deprived Of it
native breeze and sunshine. We knew tina
she must die, and for fear that death nigh

its approach, we sat beside her couch 70
many days and many nights silently await

One summer eve, as Ada slept, brilliar
