THE EMPTY CRADLE.

Iu tho still and quiet chamber
There's an empty ctudlo. bod,
With print upon pillow
OF baby's shining head.
'Tis fair and dainty cradle,
Downy, soft, tho pillows whito,
But within the blankets folded
Lies no little form tonight.
Once the mother sat beside IL,
When the day was growing dim.
And her pleasant voico was singing,
Soft aud low, a cradle hymn.
Now there's no moro need of singing,
When tho evening shadows creep,
For the cradle.bed Is empty,
And the baby gono to sleep.
Little head, that used to nestle
In the pillows white and soft;
Little hands. whose restless fingers,
Folded there in dreams so oft
Lips we pressed with fondest kissos,
Eyes VIC praised for purest ray,
Underneath tho churchafd daisies,
They have hid you all away.
All. the empty. useless cradle
We will put il out of sight,
Lcst our hearts should griove too soroly
For tho littlo one TO night.
We will think how, safe forever,
In the better fold above,
That Young lamb for which wo sorrow,
Resteth now in Jesus love.

The Resolutions reported by the Select
Committee to whom was referred the Senate
Resolution relative to the Rebel prisoners

The Presidents s Visit.

The New York papers give quite
lengthy account OF The Presidents visit 10
West Point. After the Presidents re-
turn TO the city he crossed over with Gen.
Scott to The Jersey side to take the cars.
AT the depot a number had gathered,
and after repeated cheers and calls, the
President made short speech, which
contains as much perhaps as We can
gather Of the object Of his visit 10 the old
Hero, and West Point:
President Lincoln got upon the train at
The rear platform Of the back car, aud when
he reached this elevation he was oheered
enthusiastically. lie acknowledged the
favor with bow 10 the excited crowd,
who renewed the cheers and called for a
"speech." The President smiled at these
demands, and shook his head ciscourag-
iugly but the crowd persevered in the
call so strongly that the President re-
moved his hat as a preparatory act to-
ward granting their desire. This move-
ment elated the spectators to the highest
degree. They showed their appreciation
OF it by found OF cheers, and ;hen qui.
eIed down to hear :be "Speech."
The Presiden: then spoke substantially
as follows:
"When birds and animals arc looked at
through fog they are seen to disadvan.
tage, and so it might be with you if l
were to attempt TO tell you why went to
see Gen, Scott. can only say that my
visit to West Point did not have the i'm {.
portance which has been attached 10 it ;
but it conceived. matters that you under.
stand quite as well as if were to tell you
all about them. Now, l can only re &.
mark that it had nothing whatever to do
with making or unmaking any General in
the country. (Laus shler aud applause,

pretty tight rein on the Press.so thsethey
sha!! not tell mere than they ought to. and
Pm afraid that if l blab too much he
might draw tight rein on me-" (Roar s
of laughter and loud applause. during
which the President retired within the
car.
The train slowly moved off moment
afterward, in charge of Mr.. Woodruff,
who stood upon the front platform Of the
back car, and called for "lhree cheers for
the President of the United States" The
call was vigorously responded to. and the
compliment was ack nowledged by the
President, by standing up and removing
his hat. BY this time the train was rap
idly moving away, and the crowd dis
persed.

Changes in the Language.

The perfection which the modern slang
vocabulary has attained is truly astonishing.
Words until lately unknown or of doubtful
propriety are fast suporsedng the old
fashioned words of tho dictionaries. MANY
of these seem to have their origin in
the present unhappy war, but, as leading
journals, by their frequent use in flaming
capitals, are making them standards, they
will probably lie approved IN polite circles
after peace is restored. Country editors,
whose advantages are limited, are slower in
their adoption, yet they must soon become
familiar to all War may bo an evil, but il
certainly is not always an unmixod evil, fol
it has given our country literature
Troops are never captured nowadays
though thoy are often 'boggcd." They
never run or retreat, but how they "ske.

noble, praise worthy or admirable in these
times everything is "Juiiy" We have

convey the iden. What pity tina: our
Revolutionary fathors,-honost, patriotic,
clever men as they were,-had not this
word They might havo done justice to
the Father of his Country during his life
time. Hereafter let the sentiment OF every
trne American patriot be, "BuHy for

shall save our Distracted country from ruin
