When Mr.. Buchanan WAS on his way,
more than four gears ago, to take pos
session of the Administration Of the
Government, t. which he had been cleo
ted in 1886, the train stopped for IL few
moments at the town Of York, in your
State, and curious crowd collected to
greet the future Chief Magistrate. He
threw up the window of his car, put out
his venerable head, and in response to
the cheers that welcomed him, asked, in
his quaint way, 81 wonder if you will be
as glad to see me when [ come back
through York, in 1861, at the close of
my official term?'' An old Democrat in
the crowd, in a loud voice, answered
him with the question, "Why, do you
intend to do anything wrong, that you
will be ashamed to meet Us then? -
Without making any reply, the Presi-
dent elect subsidized into his seat and the
train moved on its way

FAREWELL TO WINTER.


Haste, haste away, cold winter,
You have tarried now too long;
We want to see the green grass spring,
And hear the wild bird's s song.
Among the pebbles of the brook
The ripping waters gush,
Along its messy banks the flowers
In gorgeous beauty blush
The birch and willow tassel
And the maple keys come forth,
And heswinter SHOWS hie homeward
To their caverns in the north
TO see the farmer sally out
TO meet the rosy dawn,
And, whistling, drive his team afield,
Across the dewy lawn.
Yet we would not be ungrateful,
To winter old and hoary,
We thank him for long evenings,
With their pleasant song and story
We thank him for the slcigh-rides,
And the merry chime Of BELLS .
For the snowballs and the skatings,
And the coasting down the hills
For the iridescent crystals,
That deck the forests green,
With jewels bright as ever glowed
In crown Of king or queen
For the treasures of the snow,
So beautiful and pure,
Like childhoods spotless innocence,
Too heaven-like to endure.
Yes, here's enough TO make the heart
O'erflow with gratitude,
All God has made is beautiful,
For all his works are good.

"Union" Hospitality in tennessee.


| "Union" Hospitality in Tennessee.
The Nashville Banner relates the fol.
lowing:
A worthy friend from the farming
districts who occasionally drops in upon
US to get the latest news, narrates the
following. a traveller passing through
his neighborhood, on horseback,
stopped at a modest cottage on the road
side, and asked for shelter, as it was
quite dark and raining The 'shead of
the family came to the door and accost-
ed him with
"What do you want2''
81 want to stay all night" was the
reply.
What are yer?'
This interrogatory was not fully un-
derstood by the traveller and he asked
an explanation.
Il mean what's yer politics?" rejoined
the former. "Air yer FIR this Union or
agin it?;'
This was poser, as the traveller was
not certain whether the man was Union
man or secessionist,g and he was anx-
ious to ''tie up for the night-so he
made up his mind and said, my friend,
| am for the Union and Consti
Stranger, y-e-o-u kin kun in!'
1t is needless to add that the traveller
dismounted, and both pan and beast
were Hospitality taken care of for the
night.

So lately dead; SO soon forgotten
'Tis the way Of the world. We flourish
for a while. Men take us by the hand,
and are anxious about the health of our
bodies, and laugh at our jokes, aud we
really think, like the fy4on the wheel,
that we have something to do with the
turning of it. Some day we are buried.
The sun does not stop for our funeral;
everything goes on as usual; we are not
missed in the streets, men laugh at new
jokes; one or two hearts feel the wound
of affection, one or two memories still
hold our names and forms; but the
crowd moves in its daily CIRCLE, and in
a short time the great wave sweeps over
our steps and washes the last vestige of
our earthly footStepe
