THE COTTAGE HOME.
BY r. A. DURIvAGE.

Thy cottage home. my dearest.
With its waving linden tree,
With its flowers and its foliage,
And its bounding rill, I see
The father in his old armchair,
With his watch dog at his feet.
Is listening to the wood bird wild ..
That trills his carols sweet.
Thy gentle sister hand in hand,
She trod with thee the green, sE.
Or sported with thy brothers gay,
Blitlie as a May day queen
All swiftly when she sang TO us
The happy hours flew past,
Or wore the flowrets that she twined.
To crown the gay repast.
Oar bridal evei my dearest
All! can we e'er forget? "
With tears Of JOY and grief our eyes,
That holy hour were wet.
They're gone-our old companions
Thy mother and thy SIRE
They sleep beside the village church,
In the shadow OF its spire. s
The early violets blossom,
p Above thy sisters grave
But Ger thy gallant brothers.
Deep rolls the ocean wave.
The melody of other days.
Their memory recalls
Tho silent waves the linden tree
g., Above the cottage walls.
The cottage home my dearest.
q With its waving linden tree;
Its warm, true-hearted inmates
In memorys glass we see;
And, hand in hand, we'll tread the path.
And con the lesson given,
And guard the faith that bids US hope.
To re-unite in heaven

4 Days work.

Day before yesterday profound but IN
clamorous excitement filled this country Al
great question, which originated before thousr
ands who have just voted upon It knew their
riuht hands from their left, was upon the
eve of solution. Politicians had done their
fnest; agitators had ragged their loudesti
every trick Of popular intuence--evcry de-
vice Of persuasion and argument had bccn
exhausted; noisy threats, intending nothing
but intimidation, had fitted, like November
meteor showers, across our horizon the
hosts were mustered, and rested ono night
upon their arms, before issue was joined. =
Some honest hearts trembled, not knowing
what day would bring forth; fearing an
almost foIegonc conclusion, with anarchy,
secession and what not Of disaster thereupN.
In the center of thriving State, which was
a frontier wilderness within the memory Of

which in advance had SO shaken thcA land.---
The meteor-menaces have fitted into return

contest, have gone back to their farms, their
factories, their stores and their Offices, and to

A LITERALEUR ON BLLIARps.-The follow
ing is Doesticks' idea Of the game Of billiards:
/" need hardly tell you that the game Of BIZ
liards consists in punching ivory balls about
on q big table covered with green cloth that
looks like half an acre Of meadow land with
an India rubber fence around it; that the.
balls arc punched with long wooden ramrods
with wax on the end to save the wood, and
leather on the end to save the wax, and chalk
put on to keep the leather from wearing out.
You take your ramrod and rub some chalk on
the little end then you lean over the tables
then you sqnint; then you lift up your Lex |;
then you fiddle little on your left hand with
your ramrod then you puch your ball; If
your ball runs against the other mans ball
you've done Zig thing, and you poke up
lot Of buttons that are strung on wire.--
This is all there is Of the game Of billiards.
Anybody can punch billiards. can, and
maybe you could"

Jake willard and the blind Horse--A
Laughable Story.

The Mobile Register is responsible for the
following mirth- h-provoking incident:
For twenty three years, old Jake Willard
has cultivated the soil of Baldwin county, and
drawn therefrom support for self and wife.
He is childless. Not long ago, Jack left the
house in search of missing COW. His route
led him through an old worne out patch Of
clay land, of about six acres in extent, in the
center of which was a well twenty or
thirty feet deep, that had sometime, probably,
furnished the inmates of the dilapidated house
near by with water. In passing by this spot
an i'll wind lifted Jake's 'tile'' from his head
and maliciously waited it to the edge of the
well, and in it tumbled. 7I gs3
Now Jack had alwayg practiced the virtue
Of economy, and he Immediately set about
recovering the lost hat. He ran to the well,
and finding It was drv at the bottom, he un-
coiled the rope which he had brought for the
purpose Of capturing the truant cow, and af-
ter several attempts to catch the hat with a
moose, he concluded to save time by going
down into the well himself. To accomplish
this, he made one end Of the rope fast to q
stump hard by, and was quickly on his way
down the well. Ss - @ sa as
livious than the reader hereof, that Ned Wells

that an old blind horse, with bell on his
neck, which had been turned out to die, was
lazily grazing within short distance OF the
well. lr,r aTw g5g a@ai % haGT-h -.n.
The devil himself or somc other wicked
spirit, put it into Ned's Uranium to have a lit
tic fun, SO he quietly slipped up to the horse,
and, unbuckled the bell-strap, approaching
with slow, measured ting-a-ling' the we'll.

New York After Dark.

Col. FoRNEY, upon a recent visit to the
great metropolis, makes a tour Of those por-
tons of the city in which the worst phrases
Of poverty and vice are to be witnessed He
sees strange sights, and tells strange stories.
We would like to publish his communication
to the Press entire, but its length forbids.--
The following is the concluding paragraph:
"When we returned that vast thoroughfare
was deserted and quiet The contrast be-
tween the close and sitting alleys we had left
and this splendid avenue, stretching for miles,
through the heart Of the great metropolis
was strangely suggestive. How few of those
who Haunted on Broadwaycare for their human
brothers and sisters, perishing within five
minutes walk Beyond and in the aristo-
cratic portion of the city, in the Fifth avenue,
where for other miles, stretch lordly palaces,
crowded with luxurious adornments, and oc-
cupied by those whose wants are anticipated
and whose tastes vtiatcd by an excess Of
wealth, there is criminal indifference to the
suffering poor. Little of the vast revenue
coined in speculation and in trade is diverted
to their relief The annual contribution to
fashionable church, the frequent presents to
PoPuiai piCaSHSl, may NC Shiu W w tilc
usual limit Of the over-rich. In their eyes,
penury is crime, and one poverty stricken
wretch detected and confined is made an
excuse for including the whole class. How
much such a man as Astor might do to ale
viate the distressed and to rescue the dis
graced One months income set apart every
year of his almost countless wealth, devoted
to the payment of a volunteer force, instruct
ed to provide lodgings for those who stroll
these streets night and day expended for
the gathering in of the fatherless children,
who, having none to care for them, beg and
steal that they may live; to the cleansing Of
the narrow lanes in the vicinity Of the old
Five Points; to the removal or purifcation
Of the tumble-down tenements in which hun
dreds hide themselves-would confer more
lasting honor upon his name than all gifts
ostentatiously bestowed for doubtful pur-
poses. ~ ,' Z" 'a'
