Upou whose forehead fair,
Ear .irb,sea years, like sunshine slept
This golden eurl Of hair.
Oh. sunny ,res,i the joyous brow,
Where thou didst lightly wave,
With al thy sister ireSses, now
Lie, cold within the grave.
That eb.sk is Of its bloom bersf,
That eye no more is gay;
OfsIl her beauties, thou art left

-Four years have passed, this very mooni
Since last we foudly met
-Four years! and yet il seems too soon
To let the heart forget
Too soon TO let that lovely face
From our sad thoughts depart,
And to smother give the place
She held within the hear.
Her memory still within my mind
Retains its sweetest power;
It is the perfume left behind,
To whisper Of the flower.
Each blossom, that in moments gone,
Bound up this sunny curl,
Recalls the form, the look, the tone,
Ofthat enchanting girl
Her step was like an April rain
Der beds Of ViOlets flung;
Her voice the prelude to a strain,
Before the song is sung;
Her life, twas like halfblown flower,
Closed ere the shades of even;
Her death the dawn, the biushing hour
That opes the gates Of Heaven.
A single tress! how slight thing
To sway such magic art,
And bid each soft remembrance spring

To her loved so long,
Whose locks Outshone pellueid gold,
Whose lips o'erhowed with song.
Since then, I've heard thousand lays
From lips as sweet as hers;
Yet when strove to give them praise,
only gave them ietrs:
could not bear, amid the throng
Where jest and laughter rung,
To hear another sing the song
That t7embled on her tongue.
A single shining tress Of hair,
To bid such memories start!
Bat tears are on its lusire-thefe, ~
I lay il on my heart.
Oh! when in Deaths cold arms I sink,
Who, then, with gentle care,

AMERIcANIsM.-It is a significant fact,
says the Louisville Journal, that, in near
" all the recent local elections, in which
there has been successful coalition of all
who are opposed to the disgraceful Kan
sas policy of the administration, the can
didates elected are chiefly those who ap-
prove the principles of the American
party. In Cincinnati almost all of the
newly elected city officers are Americans.
The newly elected Mayor of Albany was
defeated there last year as the National
American candidate, and the recently
elected Mayor of Philadelphis was a
Fillmore man in the last Presidential
contest. This is tacit acknowledgement
of the eminent conservatism of the Amer
lean party. Both the Democratic and
Republican parties are ultra in their po-
litical doctrines. They are both disunion
parties. Their doctrines and their pro-
posed measures tend directly to dissoiu-
ton of the Union, but Americanism is
recognized by the candid, thinking men
in all parts Of the country as the badge
of nationality and Union loving conser-
vatism and even handed political justice.

To DRIvE AWAY RGTs.-Some years
since, a correspondent of the Boston Cub
tivator recommended potash for the pur-
pose. The rats troubled him very much,
so that he felt justified IN resorting 70
extreme measures to effect their expulsion
from his premises. He pounded up pot
ash and strewed it around their holes and
rubbed some under the boards and on the
sides, where they came through. The
next night he heard a squealing amongst
them, which he supposed was fromthe esul
site nature of the potash that get among
their hair and on their bare feet. They
disappeared. and for long time he was
exempt from any further annoyance. =

Hard Money and Banks Of Deposit

John Adams, in letter dated Quincy,
18th February, 1909, says:
"Our medium is deprecated by the
multitude of swindling banks which have
emitted bank bills to an immense amount
beyond the deposits of gold and silver in
their vaults, by which means the price Of
labor and land, and merchandise and
produce is doubled, tripled and quadru-
pied in many instances. Every dollar
of bank bill that is issued beyond the
quantity of gold and silver in the vaults
represents nothing, and is therefore cheat
upon somebody"
In another letter to DR.. Rush, dated
2Sth August. 1911, Mr.. Adms says:
"My opinion is that circulating me
dunn Of gold and silver only ought to be
introduced and established that ma
tional bank of deposit only with branch
in each State, should be allowed ; that
every bank in the Union ought to be
annihilated, and every bank of discount
prohibited to all eternity. Not one far
thing of profit should ever be allowed on
any money deposited in the banks"

ANOTHER OF FoLEY's FoLLIEs.-Our
readers will remember the letter given a
few days since. written by Jas. B. Foley,
Member of Congress from Indiana. As
proof that such an NJ. G. was Just tine
man to write such an epistle, the Cincin-
natl Commercial relates an anecdote of
Mr.. Foley, as follows:
"IIe was elected to Congress in Octo-
Der, 1856, his term of service to commence
the first Monday of December, 1857. But
few weeks after the vote in his district
had been counted. he concluded to pro-
coed at once to Washington. While en-
route for that city. he condescended to
make call in old Virgins, on another
Democrat also rejoicing in an election to
the next Congress. His friend inquired
as to the extent of Mr.. FPS journeyings.
The gentleman from Indiana stated with
profound complacency that he was going
to the Capitol of the nation and with
great difficulty the Virginian managed to
drill into the head of the Honorable gen.
tleman from Indiana the fact that he was
about to anticipate by one year the as
sumption of his Congressional duties"

From UrAu.-By the arrival of the mail
from Salt Lake City, we have received dates
one week later from Utah-to July 80: The
latest news from the camp of the army is to the
23d ultimo. Preparations for the Territorial
election were going forward in Utah, and the
Gentle residents were to vote on an indepen-
dent ticket for candidates to fill the offices now
occupied by members of the Mormon priest
hood. A fusion" ticket for Territorial and
County officers had been put in nomination in
Salt Lake City, the more liberal and influential
Mormons being placed on the ticket with Gen.
tile candidates. Politics were quite lively at
the date Of our last advices. Reputation of
the Mormon currency-the notes Of the Des-
eret Currency Association the last move
ment of the Mormon leaders, and the effect Of
the measure was great dissatisfaction ameng tho
people, the. Gentle storekeepers refusing to
receive the notes, which formerly passed current
in payment for trade. The recent rumor that
Brigham Young and few of his friends had
fled from the Territory, is corrected; Brigham
left the city for pleasure excursion, but had
returned. From the army, at Camp Floyd, we
learn that the Volunteer Battalion had been
dismissed, and left on the 18th ult., for Fort
Learenworth, where it is to be disbanded An
army order, issued by General Johnston, speaks
in complimentary terms of the officers and men
Of this battalion. Another order disconnects
the battalion of mounted griflemen and the
Third Infantry from Gen. Johnston'a command,
and orders those corps to New Mexico. Tho
army remaining in camp was In excellent con-
dition.-Charleston Courier.
