A Day with the Influenza.

If one should ask " What bavoyou done To- day ~
AS brief as Caesar, I'd reply, "I've sneozed."
Meier loving swain his damsel's fingers squeezed
ITO tell the tale his lips refused to say
More tendorly than my stricken nose.
'Twcre vain to attempt to stand upon decorum,
had to snecze behind folks and before 'enl.
AT every sneeze, it secm'd that ringing blows
Fell on my head. that ached well nigh toirenzy;
From weeping eyes my strength appear'd TO ooze
And all my body was general bruisc;
yielded captive to the influenza,
And went home at dinner time, and there
Sought help in medicine and my rocking clair
Much like the custom of the ancient cities,
My nasal gateways closed at dusk Of day,
And scarce breath. for loves sake for PHYS,
Got in out by the accustomed way; .l
SO on my couch lay with open lips,
To let the air into the cells Of life.
Instead of sleep, dreamy-like eclipse
Came over nc; and vagaries were rife
Within my mind. The thread OF dreaming broke
AT intervals, aud startled, awokc;
turn'd the pillow meath my fcvcrd head,
And gnzed awhile upon the apers smoke;
And when sigh unconscious softly sped,
a tender voice to me in tones of pity spoke.

lose the interest on it. There is no more rea-
son to charge interest on the bonds for money
borrowed to the cost of the work, than to
charge interest on capital paid in. So that
you might have made much more fragrant
case of the "excess of expenditure for the
work p" in South Carolina and Georgia, " over
the estimate" if you had added the interest
on the capital stock paid in, as well as the in
tcrest on bonds.
The aggregate for all the overcharges for
expenditures OH account of the work in South
Carolina and Georgia, which have shown to
be contained in your statement of the {" cx-
cess of cost over the estimate" amounts to
S49S, ,S75 When this amount is deducted
from your figures, your statement is pityfully
reduced. The whole evidence on which
have made my statement of overchorges is
derived from the reports to which you refer
ana your own statement, except only the cost
of the road in Tennessee. If there is any
error in my statement, it is open to correc-
ton by every reader.

Gen Carey very correctly observed once in
my hearing that rum sellers always put screens
before their doors to hide the within, and
false signs above, as " Coffee House" or cv-
cry body's 'homc," thus making false repre-
scntatons. But here VIC have an honest ad,

Nowadays.
-

BY An OLD LADY.
"Alas! how everything Is changed
Since l was sweet sixteen,
When all tho girls wore homcspun frocks,
And aprons nice and clean;
With bonnets made of braided straw
That tied beneath the chin,
The shawl laid neatly on the neck,
And fastened with pin.
&" L recollect the tiinc when
Rode fathers horse to mill,
Across tho meadow rock and field,
And up and down the HILL
And when "our folks F" were out at work
1t never made me thnner,)
l jumped upon horse bare back
And carried them their dinner.
"Dear me, young ladies nowadays
Would almost faint away,
To think of riding all alone
In wagon, chaise or sleigh
And rs for giving "pa" p" his meals,
Or helping "ma " to bake,
Oh dear! twould spoil their lilly hands,
Though sometimes they make cake.
"When winter came, the maiden's heart,
Began to beat and hutter;
ESel, toaG wo@i1 t;.So ,is svUethsat; out
Sleigh-riding in cutter,
Or if the storm was bleak and cold,
The girls and bcaux together
Would meet and have the best of fun,
And never mind the weather.
" But now indeed it grieyes me much
Che circumstance to mention,
However kind the young mans heart,
And honest his intention,
lie never asks the girls to ride,
But such man is Gagged;
And if he sees her once week
Why, surely they're engaged" ~

speech of great power Had the Gov taken
the bold decided stand when in the executive
chair, that he has taken here, his administration
would not have been stigmatized as weak and
inefficient. Bnt we Grow in politics as in
other things. The State Of Pennsylvania is
rapidly growing into the sound doctrines OF
Rcpublicanism.
The result of the two days labor Of the

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The proceedings of the State Convention
held on the 22d ult, are so length as to en-
croach materially upon our space. They are
however, Of the utmost Importance, and will
be found very interesting. Gen. CAMERON ap-
pears to have decided majority Of Delegates
friendly to him, though the plan which had
been fore-shadowed to appoint Delegates to
Chicago was very wisely abandoned, at least
so far as to defer to the wishes of the people
in the Districts where the feeling was against
such action In this District, no delegates
were appointed.
Hon. D. WuMor heads the list Of delegates
at large, and U. MERcUR was selected as elec.
tor for this district. The resolutions are
sound and national meeting fairly all the great
issues of the day.
The nomination Of A. G.. Curtin seems to
give general satisfaction-and a feeling is
eyinccd to enter into the battle with a deter
mination to maintain for Pennsylvania the
same proud political position she has asssmed,
Of opposition to the corruption and heresies Of
the National Administration.
