Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes pause in the days occupation,
That is known as the childrcn's hour. .
hear in the chamber above me
The pattcr Of little feet,
The sound ola door that is. opened,
And voices soft and sweet. T..
From my study see in thc- lamplight,
Descending the broad hall-s'air,.
Grave A lice and laughing Allegro,
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper, and then silence:
Yet know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning together
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from the stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall,
BY three doors left unguardcd
They enter my castl. wall!
They climb up into my turret
Der the arms and back Of my chair;
II try to escape they surround me;
They seem to be every where.
IVY dHiOSt ucNOuT INC VIII KISSES,
Their arms about me entwine,
Till think of the Bishop of Bingcn
In his Mousc-Towcr ON the Rhine!
Do you think, o blue-eycd banditti.
Because you have scaled the wall,
Such an old muStache as am
Is not ii match for you all!
/ have you fast in my fortress,
And will not let you depart,
But put you down into the dungeons
In the round-towcr Of my heart.
And there will keep you forever,
Yes forever and a day,
Til the walls shall crumblc to ruin,
And moulder in dust away!

The PRINCE Across HIS MoTuER's KNEE.
The Rochester Democrat relates the follow.
ing on the authority of an eyewitness, a
gentleman now residing in Rochester. We
will not undertake to say it is true: -
Some thirteen or fourteen years ago, her,
Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort
and the royal children, visited Scotland for
the first time. and we believe tarried for
time at Balmoral. On the trip, the yacht of
which the party travelled by water at Aber.
deem, and of course the loyal inhabitants in
that city turned out in large numbers to do
honor to their beloved sovereign. A guard
of houor consisting Of most Of the merchants
Of the place, was formed. and in all the glory
Of black broadcloth and white kids, paraded
on the edge of the dock to which the vessel
was moored at Just su fficient distance to pre-.
vent people from stepping Oh board. Seats
were erected on the dock, tier above tier, like
that assembled to gaze on the spectacle of an
anointed queen.
:" Her Majesty good.naturedy remained
on deck. to crafty as much as possible tire
curiosity of the benny Scots, and promena-
&c about IN full view Of the imme nse crowd
The Prince of Wales, then a child of five or
six years old, was with her. Among the
other articles offurniture placed on deck for
the accommodation ofthe Queen, was splend-
id sofa ornamented with tassels. and the
Prince like other boys o. his age, being of a
destructive turn began to pull at one of
them in manner that threa tened TO detach
it. His mother observed the act, and order.
ed the boy to desist. lie did so. but as soon
as her back was turned. he seized the tasse
again. and gave it another jerk. The Queen
appeared to have expected something of the
kind, for she was at the moment watching
him from the corner of her eye. In an in.
slant she turned, and Selling the luckless
heir apparent of England by the g scruff Of
the neck" elevated one of her feet upon the
sofa, hoistcd the youngstcr over her knee,
adjusted HIM in the position mutually famil.
lar to parents and children generally, when
such ceremonies are performed, and gave him
a sound spanking.
-" 1t may be proper to mention en- PEASANT,
for the information OF youths who sometimes
find themselves similarly circumstanccd,
that the ilustrous sufferer kicked and below
ed under the affective dlspsnsation quite as
Justly as children Of lower birth are wont to
do.
"the amazcmcnt with which the specta-
tors witnessed the example of royal domestic
discipline may be imagined, but scarcely
described in fitting terms. A dead silence
prevailed for a moment, but it was
very suddenly broken by a tremendous
roar of laughter, which could not be represscd
by any thought of decorum respect for the
Queen. or sympathy Cor the victim Of her
displeasure. The explosion recalled the
royal mother to sense of her position. and
having turned toward the crowd for a
moment, face suffused with the crimson, she
hastily descended into the cabin. and was
seen no more BY the expcctant populace."

In these rural villages the fire department

Governor Harris and Senator A. O. p Nicholson

supporting Douglas and johnson must see that he
is only giving aid and comfort to the opposition can
didates, who are only shade better than Lincoln
and Hamlin. d, : i;.s
Tennessee {the battle-ground Of the South) is safe
for the national candidates, Breckenridge and Lane.
We have some thirty counties in East Tennessee
Outside of thre of them, Douglas and johnson will
not get 500 votes In those three Brady, .Mcinn,
and Hamlnton,) the Douglas ticket can poll at the
outside 400 votes; but they are dropping off every
day. The honest voters among them begin to see
that the Douglas leaders in Tennessee are in league
with the know-nohngs to give the State to the Bell
party, for some Of their speakers have already de-
clared it on the stump. You may set down Ten
nessee as certain for Breckenridge and Lane, and
