Good Night ?-ah no: the hour is i'll,
Which sewers those it should unite,
Let us remain together still,
Then it will be COOP NIGHT.
How can call the lone night good,
Tho thy sweet wishes wing It's fight!
Be it not said; thought, understood,
Then it will be Coop NIGHTl

From evening close to morning light,
The night is good; because my love,

4.-ODE IN CHANTING STYLE.

Moro sweet than odors which at morn
Are waited ihro' the sky,
Scars charity's pure incense, borne
From earth to Him on high.
1t can the woes of others cure,
And bring its own reward;
For what we give unto tho poor,
We lend unto the Lord.
When God looks from his throne above,
No sight his eye can scan
So pleasing as the deed of love,
Which binds man more to man.
And angels, when they dwell secure,
Those deeds with JOY record;
For what we give unto the pour,
We lend unto the Lord.

apology. for having done CsIl shurE un

what he claimed was fair deduction from
the Little Squatter's speech. compromised
in the obnoxious sentiments which, clip
ped from their context, and without a
word Of explanation. makes Shurz the ut.
terer of the sentiments as his own. The
facts being, in brief, as we state them
Shurz is entitled to the correction from all
who pu blished the extract, which we did

it, did contemplate act, in comparison
to which the robbing OF a hen roost is vIr-
tue, for want might be plead as an excuse
for the latter. while for the other no ex-
cuse can be offered"
The editor Of the Terre Haute Journal
not only published this slsnder against
Carl Shurz, but actually endeavored it by
an editorial articls-went a step further
than the most corrupt Of his class. Will
he have the msnliness to make the amende
honorable? Will he now take back this
slander and admit that he lied Come

TIE LITTLE DoDGER-On the ct of March

How A PkIycs ThAyELs.-With Lord
Reufrew it can be emphatieally said that
he travels on his money. From Cincin-
nati to Pittsburg he pays the modest sun
of two thousand dollars for a speci al train; /;
but while he pays in aceordanc. with roy
atty. he expects to receive immunilies not
granted TO ordinary men. The train which
bears His Highness has the entire right of
the roads. An engine especially detailed
precedes the train to keep the track clear
and look out for any imperfections in the
road that would jeopardizs the safety of
the Prioce and royal ratinue.
The agent of the Prince. who is cousin
TO him or Albert's side, arranges all his
travelling matters, and stipulates in the
bargain with railroad companies that on
no considerations shall any person be al
lowed on board the train except those
necessary to manage it; and these are pro-
hibited from entering the royal car. but
ride by themselves in a forward car

p Douglas made a short speech in
Cincinnati and said among other things.

the last three days. that Ohio may be rank

said the same thing when he was closing
his stumping tour through Maine. He as
snred the slaveocracy that nothing remain

polls and grasp victory. They marched
and were routed by 10 900 majority. So il
