EIghty.sIx Years AGO.

Oh how the past comes over me
How the Old Days draw nigh
Tramping along in battalia-
Marching the legions by,
With the drums Of the Old Time beating,
And the Old Flag waving high
And down from the mountain gorges,
And up from the woodlands low
mastering for Liberty's conflict
Eighty six years ago
Out Of the streets Of Lexington aa. T.
l see the red-coats wheel; t1a
And, back from the lines Of Bunker,
Where Continentals kneel I
And pray, with their iron musketry,
see the red-coats REEL a
Aud, reddening all the greensward,
mark the lifo-blood flow
From the bosom of Martyr'd Warren
Eighty six years ago -t.lt 81.
Out from the resonant belfry r.a
OF Independence Hail. i
Sounded the tongue of brazen bell
Bidding good patriots all
To give the Oppressed their Freedom,
And loosen every thrall;
And the voice of brave John Hancock,
Preaehedto the People below,
The Gospel of Independence -s
Eighty-six years agol
So, the Old Days come over me
The Past around me rolls;
And the spell of glorious History
My yearning sense controls,
And sing of the Grand Example
OF old and loyal souls
When the land we love lies bleeding,
And we hear her hearts wild throe
Let us think of the Old, Old Union
Eighty-six years ago

The western people are fairly awake. They
take the bull by the horns. Hon Owen Love-
joy lately addressed 10000 people in Mclean
county, Illinois. He was for arming the negroes
and the immense crowd shouted their approba-
ton. He said that Mr. Lincoln did not drive
the team as he would, but perhaps it was better
driven. During Mr. Lovejoy's speech, man in
the crowd ayowed himself a .secessionist. and
swore he could whip any aboltionist on the
ground. He had trial, and got licked, and wss
then made to take the oath of allegiance. Will
he keep ito s. Journal

We have been shown private letter written
at Hillsborough, Highland county. in which il
is stated that few days since lady FROM Ken
lucky with several children and four servants,
passed through that county in her own carriage,
on her way 10 Greene county. Her husband was
expected tojoin her there. They were friends OF
the Union, aud had been driven from their home
by the rebels, Several years ago they had lib
Grated anumber Of slaves, and purchased farm
for them near Xenia. Now, exiled from their
home by rebels who We're fighting for slavery,
they were seeking refuge in free State, under
the protection of slaves TO whom they had given
freedom. The lady said they had been kind TO
their negroes, and had no doubt they would all
be kindly cared for until they could return to
Kentucky. This is fairly to be considered as
one Of the significant incidents Of the times. -

A lady writing TO the Buffalo Express, makes
the following excellent suggestion:
All the thin, strong cloth. not good for larger

inches wide and two yards long; these folded

an ounce, and every time letter is sent TO a sol,

that they will carry it with them--in side
