Still floating DER them like cloud

Ohl then twill be no thanks to you
You frowned upon their toll:
At best, twas folly in your view
Until you saw the spoil.
You sighed, and looked amazing wise
At Justices long delay;
And talked about "compromjse,"
To keep the hounds at bay
Oh yes, twill be no thanks to youl
You never spoke one word
Where heart and hands and all were due,
That 1 have ever heard
One cheering word of sympathy,
One patriotic prayer
One word of faith and hope to be
\ charm against despair
Twill be no thanks to you, good sir,
Twill be no thanks to you,
When our troops come marching home fron

Still floating DER them like cloud

While nations blessings, long and loud,
Shall shout their welcome home.
Yet you shall reap what they have sowed,

Bought by the brave and true
And yet remember as you eat,

brilliant Operation of Col. D..
buchanan Cross.

The particulars of q most remarkable
operation, in which Col. j. Buchanan
Cross, the celebrated forger, secured his
pardon from the penitentiary by means of
papers forged by himself, have just been
ventilated by the Philadelphia papers,
As follows
On Monday, I'd inst, L. s. Marshal
Millward of this district, received letter
purporting to come from Mr. p. II. Wat
son, Assistant Secretary Of War, enclosing
petition for the pardon Of j. Buchanan
Cross, who was serving term Of impris-
onment in the Eastern Penitentiary for
forgery The letter set forth that Cross
was wanted TO be used in special business
by the War Department that he was to
be sent South and that his speedy par
don was very desirable. The Marshal was
| directed to obtain the signatures Of Dis
trict Attorney Coffey, Postmaster Wal
born and Collector Thomas to the petition
and take it to Harrisburg for the consid-
| Grafton Of Governor Curtin. He was
especially enjoined in the letter not to
communicate on the subject with any of
! the local authorities, nor to entrust the
| business to a subordinate, but to bring
Gross to Washington himself. Suspicion
of the eenuineness of the letter did not
enter the mind Of the Marshal He had
a knowledge of the handwriting of the
Assistant Secretary Of War, which the
letter appeared to be in, and the envelope
and paper upon which it was written were
the same as are used in the War Depart
ment, while the letter itself had come
from Washington, under the frank, as
supposed, of Mr.. Watson.
Marshal Mil.ward lost no time in OBJ
tanning the signatures of the District At
! torney and Collector to the petition, as
/ directed, and be would have applied for
that Of the Postmaster but Mr.. Walbo5n
was not in the city. The same day he set
out for Harrisburg with the letter and
petition, which he laid before the Cover
nor on his arrival. He found that the
Governor had received letter similar to
the one he had with him, purporting to
be from the Assistant Secretary Of War
and requesting, by order Of Secretary
Stanton, the pardon of Gross, the forger
The handwriting Of both letters was iden-
teal, and the petition was the same -
Like the Marshal, the Governor did not
entertain a doubt of the genuineness OF
the letters and petition, and he directed
the pardon of Gross to be made out
The Marshal then telegraphed to Dep
uty Marshal jenkins to meet him at the
railroad depot on his return to the city
and to have carriage for him, which was
done. On his arrival, the Marshal and
Deputy rode to the Eastern Penitentiary
and the pardon of Cross was presented tc
the Warden, much 70 that gentleman S

Gen. EkOustOn's Prescription 10
q "Es0re.o

Among the guests at the St Nicholas
Hotel, in New York, had been Gen Sam
Houston, of Texas The General, though
fond of jokes, has an intense hatred for
that species Of human beings called 'bores.'
One of these gentry cornered him ono
day at his hotel. He had managed to be
introduced to him the day previous.
"General," said the bore, after he had
bothered Mr. Houston out of all patience,
Il wish you would do me one more favor.
A man of your eminence is so compe-
tent
"Well, what is it ?" demanded Mr..
Houston, rather curtly-
'Well, you see, Mr.. Houston, you are
such an eminent man, such a."
"Never mind that; what do you want
to know 2"
Excuse me, but a person of your abil-
tiles and distinction must be aware
Il am somewhat in haste" interrupted
the badgered Senator; "pray, come to tho
point at once"
"Well, then, tell me the secret of your
success in lise-how you rose in position
as you have done"
"Ah but that wouldn't benefit you
any. | can tell you how you can rise in
the world, if you wish"
"That's just it, was the reply "just
what was trying to get at"
sWell, sir, I'll .ell you. Undertake to

scarf around your neck ! I'll guarantee
your upward progress immediately on the
completion of the experiment"
The button holder collapsed, showed his
hat on his head, and walked sorrowfully
away. while cluster of gentlemen near

the Prussians came laundering upon the

Cambrone seized the bride of his horse,
saying: "Sire, death shuns you You
will be made a prisoner" Yielding to
these solicitations, he reluctantly retired.
This remnant of his Guard bade him fare
well, shouting, Eive I Emperor They
were soon surrounded, and called upon to
surrender. Cam5rone returned the i'm
mortal reply, "The Guard dies it never
