Our excellent President, Mr. Buchanan, has
taken it into his head that the sovereign State
of Ohio should be called the ''isIand of Ma
delra;' that everybody worthy of his favor
should be called Medary; that Medary should
be appointed to all the offices, and that nobody
but Medary should get any place whatever
We always knew that Mr. Buchanan was fond
of good glass of nutty old Madeira-the Wa
ger Madeira-the Reigart Madeira-the regular
Madeira of the old school But, then, there
must be an Alternative we cannot live on fish
all the time; we cannot drink Madeira all the
time. change nOW and then is good for the
strongest constitutions; even the Turk must
rest from his indulgenees Not so, however,
with Mr.. President Buchanan. He has fallen
dead in love with Sam Medary-or, as they
syllable it in Ohio, Sammedary. Our worthy
Executive has no eyes for anybody else He
sees Sam only; he drinks Medary only Vain
to remind him that there is such a statesman as
William Allen at Chillicothe; that Dave Tod
lives near Cleveland; and that old Pennsylva-
MA Is full of representatives in the Buckeye
State-the President sees Sam and longs for
Madeira only. The fact is, this liking for
Sammedary is characteristic of our new Ma
jesty James, for Sam has been the opponent of
the aforesaid James all his political life He has
hated him with double-headed and double-bar-
relied intensity. He has hated him in the general
and In the detail He has written him down far
years. he has cursed him editorially delega-
torially, and cOrporeally. He has anathema-
tised him at the tavern door, at the post
office door, and at every door. He damned
him at Baltimore, in 1874, in Is4S, and in
1852. He damned him at Cincinnati in 1856
becoming temporary chairman of the Conve1-
tion, of which he was a delegate, and lsborinO
to sponge out the Buchanan minority bv apply7
ing the majority rule-and finally he wet blank
eted him before the election, giving Ohio to
Fremont by rousing vote Hence this Pres
idential regard for Sammedary. He has been
the most consistent opponent that Mr. Buchanan
ersr had, e1sn in Ohio And this is his title TO
consideration
The moment Mr. Buchanan came into power
he made Sam the Governor of Minnesota. The
duties OF that Office being discharged after a
fashion, and the Territory becoming a State,
Sam was translated into the post office at CO.
lumbus, snuggery worth some four or five
thousand per annum, which he still holds
The Governors chair of Kansas becoming va
cant, there was no other person from Ohio fit to
tll 1t but Sam, and accordingly it is puliebly
rendered to him And this in less than two
years. The virtue Of enmity, and the worth
lessness of friendship, are not often SO well il
lustrated- Medary is neither a Solomon in
wisdom, Cicero in oratory, Bayard in YER
satility, nor Wilberforce in morality; but hav-
ing done his best to prove his hostility to the
President; he has thereby won alike his afee-
ton and his regard.

JRsDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER IS, 1868.

| Their dwelling, two or three miles from the
heart OF Montreal, was surrounded with trees
and Towering shrubs of every description. In
| side there was every comfort that living heart
could suggest. The heart of Hortense awoke
/ to life to love, to happiness; and to see her
/ thus rejoiced that of her husband.
Two years of almost unmingled bliss went
| by; but the third year commenced with some
alarm for the health of Eugene. Twice had
Hortense seen him draw a handkerchief from
his lips, which were stepped in blood and often
his nights were passed in coughing, until na-
ture was exhausted, and the morning sleep
found him drenched in the terrible sweats which
SO surely portend consumption. Hortense strup-
gled against this new and terrible sorrow. 1t
was the first time that she had watched over
| Ole dear to her. 1t was the first time that she
had seen the effects of this insidious disease,
and hope and fear alternated in her breast until
at length she hoped against all hope, and the
blow came down upon her all the harder that
she had not schOOled herselfto feel its approach
1t was hard to see him parting with the mute
evidences of his brief happiness Every win
dow where he had sat with her, every arbor
where they had rested, every tree under whose
shades he had walked, and every object associ-
ated with her name, all received a farewell
look
" How cen L part with you, dearest I" he
would ask, after his painful journey around the
rooms and garden.
Eugene do not mention it, she said; ''you
will break my heart"
"But you must hear it, Hortense l cannot
stay with you long. Thank Heaven that leave
you above want. Promise me, dear, that you
will never leave this home Trust me, 1 will be
with you in spirit, when the form is laid in the
earth; watching, guarding, if possible, speaking
to you"
1t was his last night on earth. When the
morn broke, his eyes were closed in the slumber
of death.
HOrtense wandered for months about her
beautiful home like perturbed spirit. There
was nothing that had been touched by Eugene
that had not solemn and sacred value in her
eyes. The trees he had planted, the bowers he
had formed, all had meaning to her that no
one else could understand; and yet upon each
one of these, and upon her whole heart and life,
seemed written, ''the glory has departed ;"

MIsTOOK HIS MAN.-Constables sometimes meet
with queer customers in the discharge of their Off
cial duties, There is, or rather was, man living
ing in the upper part of the city, who had render
ed himself very obnoxious to his neighbors by
various petty acts, and he had been waited upon
by deputatiOn of these neighbors and requested
to move away to some other locality. This he re-
fused to do Notwithstanding their threats that he
had better 60 Matters were in this state when
writ of ejectment was put into the hands of Con-
stable B. to carry into execution. Neither the
creditor or the Constable knew of the feelings at
work between the man and his neighbors. B.
went to the house and found the man at the table
with his family. He inquired what was wanted
B. told him that he had come to eject him from the
premises. Upon this being told the tenant jumped
up, seized knife, and grasped B. by the throat,
swearing that he would not leave the house, and if
he lB.) did not instantly depart through the door,
he would soon be seething and boiling in pot
which hung over the fire This pleasant little side
show continued for half minute, when B. opened
his coat and showed his star to the warlike cham.
pion of his rights Instantly lOosing his hold, and
dropping upon his knees, the belligerent man sued
for pardon for his crime of resisting an officer AZ
ter sufficiently frightening him with visions of the
Penitentiary and gallows, B. let the man off with
the assurance that if he was found in the house
the next day, he should be delivered into the ten
der hands, of the Courts The now thoroughly
man was ready to promise anything
good, bad or Indifferent and we may say as an il
lustration of his veracity that he was not an nhab
liant of that house the day following. "Star ga
zing' was not favorite amusement of his.

MORNING LEADER.
TWRNTY YEARs AGO.

I've wandered to the village, Tom,
I've sat beneath tie tree,
Upon the school house playing ground,
Which sheltered you and me;
But none are left to greet me, Tom,
And few are left to know,
That played with US upon the green,
Just twenty years ago.
The grass is just as green, dear Tom,
BarefoOted boys at play,
Were sporting Just as they we're then,
With spirits just as gay;
But master sleeps upon the hill,
All coated DER with snow,
Which afforded US a sliding place,
Just twenty years ago.
The old school house is altered some,
The benches are replaced,
With new ones very like the same
Our pen knives had defaced.
But the same old bricks are in the wall.
The bell swings TO and fro;
The music's just the same, dear Tom,
Twas twenty years ago.
The boys are playing the same old game
Beneath that same old tree;
do forget the name Just now,
On that spot, twas played with knives,
By throwing, so and so
The loser had task to do
There, twenty years ago.
The river is running just as still,
The willows on its side,
Are larger than they were. dear Tom,
The stream appears less wide;
The grape vine swing is ruined now,
Where once we played the beau,
and swung our sweethearts, pretty girls,
Just twenty years ago.
The spring that bubbled meath the hill,
Close by the spreading beach,
Is very light; twas once so low
That we could almost reach;
But in kneeling down to get a drink,
Dear Tom, started so,
To see how much that had changed
Since twenty years ago.
Down by the spring, upon an elm,
YOu know l cut your name
Your. .sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom,
And you did mine the same;
Some heartless wretch has pealed the bark,
Twas dying, sure but slow,
Just like the one whose name you cut
Died twenty years ago.
My lids had long been dry, dear Tom,
But tears came in my eyes;
thought of her l loved so well,
Those early broken ties;
| visited the old church ward,
And took some flowers to streW
Upon the graves of those we loved,
Just twenty years ago.
Some are in the church yard laid,
Some sleep beneath the sea;
But few are left of our old class,
Excepting You and me;
But when our time shall come, dear Tom,
And We are called to go,
hope they'll lay US where we played,
Just twenty years ago.

GIFT ENTERPRIsE.-The proprietors of Gift
Enterprises generally succeed in swindling enough
innocent victims to bring in large quantity of
cash, while in the way of presents, they give back
but small percentage on the funds invested In
not one case in a hundred is anything drawn from
the lottery that is of value, but we heard Of case
yesterday where the ticket buyer lather sold the
"enterprzer" The former is a general grocer in
small way, and he was called upon by the pro-
prietor Of the gift sale, who, drawing him aside,
said, "My dear sir, starting a Gift Enterprise
in this place. and you and l know very well it is
necessary to gull the innocent people by good
show so I want you to buy ticket, come into the
sale, and with the ticket you shall draw a gold
watch You keep the watch day or two, show
it to your friends, and 1 will come round for it.
This was satisfactory to the grocer so he entered
the sale room, where crowd had gathered around
and "believed he'd try ticket" The ticket was
delivered to him with fine gold lever watch" as
the gift" Of course this haul made stir, and
tickets sold rapidly. In a day or two the vender
called upon the lucky man, and remarkng that that
was well done, said he would take the watch.
=" Pray what watch do you want !'' was the reply
OF the merchant.
why, the watch you drew at my lottery"
"WelI, Sir, l drew that watch fairly, and twenty
persons can testify that you said then and there
that it was a fair trade, and l was fortunate
man."
But that was all joke, my dear SIR
"T Too good joke to lose, and the watch is fairly
mine; ? and no amount of logic could induce the
buyer to relinquish the watch so fairly'' gained
That ticket didn't pay much profit to the dealer.
The above, informed, is a literal transac-
ton which took place few days ago in this city

and eight ten feet at the brow of the descent to-
ward Canal ST. The Industrial School building is
left on stills almost, and looms up like an island.
This work will render the hill much mors easy of
passage, and the street smoother, cleaner and

love and made glorious. But the husband is as
much in fault as any one. He exacts he in
slsts he lays on the burdens heavily ; he tyran-
nizes he is the dead weight upon the frail
shoulders of the woman 1t is not to be de-
MED or set aside-or shifts off too much Of the
labor upon her, making her the packhorse of
the family establishment, the real beast of bur-
den in all his domestic plans. Thence follow,
naturally enough, low spirits, an overworked
constitution, carelessness about the high ends
and aims of life, and a gradual and almost to-
tai loss of the true spiritual faculty.
These things should no longer be, They
should be mended forthwith. The women
ought to stand everywhere for whatever is pure,
noble, and holy, not less in the country than in
the city nay, more 50 in those blessed rural
retreats, and amid those sweet and refreshing
influences that God sends, like delicious fra
GRANGE, to purify the atmosphere in which the
soul is obliged for time to dwell. Especially
it is idle to talk disparagingly of the far
mer's wife. Her city sister can show her silks
and her long list of friends but what are they
all in the light of that sincere simplicity, that
serene beauty of life, in which the country
wife is privileged to dwell and rejoice all her
days?
