AYE, dad 10 growing old Dave, ~ 'sF
His eyes are getting dim, "a
And years have on his shoulder laid
A heavy weight for him; 51
But you and are young and hale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must make his load az light

he used to take the front, Dave. ------
~ At the cradle and the plow,
And earned our porridge by the sweat
That trickled from his brow;
Yet never heard we him complain.
whate'er his toll might be,
Eorwanted e,er welcome seat
Upon his solid knee.
But when our body's strength came. Dave.
And sturdy grew each limb,
He brought US to the yellow field,
To share the toll with him
But he went foremost in the swa ath.
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the plow that heayes the soil.
Or ship that shears the main.
Now we must lead tie van, Dave,
Through the W Gather foul and fair,
And let the old man reac and dose,
And tilt his easy chair
And he'll not mind it, Dave, you know,
At eve to tell US DER
Those brave old tales Of British times.
OF grand-dad and the war.
I've heard you speak of ma'sm, Dave,
l'Tis gospel what you say
That caring for the like of us
Has turned her hair so gray
Yet. Dave, do remember well
when nsighbors called her vain.
And when her hair::was long and like
gIeamin ng sheaf OF grain.
Her lips were cherry red, Dave,
Her cheek was round and fair,
And like aripened peach it swelled
Against her wavy hair;
Her step fell lightly as the leaf
!, From of the summer tree,
And al day busy at the wheel
She sang to you and me-.
She had buxom arm, Dave,
That welded well the the rod
whene'er with wilful step our feet
The path forbidden trod;
But to the heaven of hereye
We never looked in vain.
And evermore our yielding cry
Brought down her tears like rain.
But that was long ago, Dave,
And we are what we are,
And little heed we day by day,
Her fading cheek and hair;
Ali when beneath her faithful breast
The tides NO logger stir,
tTis then. Dave. that we most shall feel
We had no friend like her, -. -.
Sure there can be no harm. Dave.
Thnss speaking softly DER
The blessed names of those, ere long,
Shall welcome no more.
Nay hide it not-for why shnuldst thou
An honest tear disowni
Thy heart one day wall lighter be,
Remembering it has flown.
For dad is growing old, Dave,
His eyes getting dim,
And maiam is treading softly down
The dfmdescent with him;
But you and are young and hale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must make their path as smooth
And cheerful as we Can.

The tax paying season in Ohio, is clos-
ed. The difficulty experienced the pres.

out precedent. A year or two ago, the
Black Republican Legislature repealed
Fnllett's small note law, by which the
great mass of foreign trash had been driv-
en- out of circulation After this foreign
stuff was again brought back into Ohio,
the Republican State authorities forbid it
to be taken off the hands of the people in
payment of taxes. Great trouble and
sacrifice have been the consequences Of
of this policy. In Licking county alone,
the taxpayers have paid shave of per-
cent. on one third of all their taxes. in or

Our Stay Laws.-An Appeal to our Co.
temporartos.

We would again impress upon the
people and upon our contemporaries Of
the press, the necessity which exists for
the repeal of our present laws creating
an appearance term and providing for
stay OF execution. The effects of our
inadequate collection laws upon the
credit of our merchants and business
men Is becoming every day more ap-
parent. we have it from good au-
thor'ty that thousands of dollars Of
capital which would otherwise have
been loaned and invested in our city
alone, have been diverted to other
points or kept at home, simply on ac-
count Of the fact that under the pres
ent state of our laws it could not be
loaned with safety, and we are also in
formed that the facilities heretofore
possessed BY many Of our merchants
'of the purchase Of goods in the Ras,
on credit have been almost wholly de.
stseyed. Temsesasilv the laws may
have benefited some lsw iediyaaasat !,

ment on the head of bill posted up by a
',gemman OBJ color" below which he inform.
ed the people that his name was Douglas
mot the veritable Fred, nor yet the 'little
giant, and that he would deliver himself
of an old speech, which he had repeated a
great many times before, to the people OF
Lyons, at metropolitan Hall, on Tuesday
evening. Tuesday evening came, and the
darkie came. but for some reason the Hall
did not 'came,' 60 he occupied the balcony
in front of Dr. Lawrence's office. He spoke
long and loud, and like all other Black Re-
publicans, abused every one whose notions
differed in the slightest degree from his own
He claimed to be cousin of the Republi-
cans, and We rather think he was nearer of
kin than that even, for We noticed that he
was more than half white in color, and that
he talked exactly like full blooded one,
yea, one Of the Jim Lane school, We can
not learn that the darkie did any good or
harm, but like any other monkey, he had
learned his lesson well and got up and said
it, creating nearly as much mirth for the
moment, as the lesser kind of his species do
when accompanied by hand organ. They
perform various pranks for pennies and get
them, which last, the business of his visit,
we doubt very much whether he succeeded
in. Douglas has come and made his speech,
