Lord Lyons.

Lord Lyons Is not married, and is about
forty years of age. His residence Is
on J-street. in the vicinity of the Presi-
dents mansion, in the section of the city
where the most of the foreign embassies
reside. His suite occupies the residence
lately occupied by Ex Senator Hamilton
Fish. 1t is brick mansion, plain and
unactractive in its exterior, and not very
extravagant in its dimensions. His man
ner in conducting his establishment, how
ever, is after the style of the lordly Eng
lishman. His retinue of servants is COM
plete, and after the most approved anci-
ent customs of the realm. His steward
ants at his bidding, and his horses and
carriages like any other lord. There are
some fifteen servants in all connected
with the establishment, Ills horses, five
in number, are all choice blooded animals.
There is one pair of matched bay animals
for his coach. The others are saddle hOr-
ses, which, in the style of the true Eng
lishman, the distinguished Lord and
attaches are in the habit of using. His eel
lars are stored with the choicest wines and
brandies, and nothing is wanting to the
mansion of that due to the time-honored
customs of an English lord. The really
dazzling splendors of the establishment,
however, are the most strikingly seen on
the occasion of some special dinner. The
plate of the entire establishment is exclu
sively of gold and silver. On occasion OF
a dinner the table is always laid with
plates of the richest enameled gold, most
of which has been handed down from gen
Grafton to generation in the family, and
is probably the brightest and most.complete
set of plate to be found in this country;
that at the Presidential mansion is not
to be named in the connection. His car
riages are of English manufacture, and
when he rides he is always attended by
both footman and eoachman in livery.

From the Troy Whig.
Ludierous Incidents of the Troy

f1ro.
The scenes and incidents of the late
fire are from grave to gay" Many are
the ludicrous stories which people tell of
what they witnessed while the alarm was
greatest, and cool men and woman were
scarce.
One man, we hear of, deliberately, as a
means or saving his clothing, put on three
pairs of breeches, and incumbered himself
with heavy coats, and then deliberately
walked out of his house without anything
in his pockets or hands, Notwithstanding
trunk full of silver ware and other val
uables lay in the hall ready for removal
Another man brought in two dogs from
a barn which was on fire, locked them
up in room of house connected there
with. He there left them.
A woman was observed walking down
one of the streets with her bonnet on fire
behind, smoking furiously. A man COM
ing up behind, discovered her plight, and
rushing up struck the woman quite blow
on her head. The woman exclaimed,
''Oh, the timbers ard falling, let us run,
let US runw And run she did at such a
rate that her would-be protector was
speedily distanced.
A lady we hear of, after packing up heI
things carefully in her trunks, left the
house alone, with the keys in her pocket.
One genius who had bundle of valu.
able papers, bank bills, ETC., in his hand
in his excitement, used them to smother
a small flame kindled on the premises ada
cent 20 which he was standing. He put
out the flames for the instant, but de
stroyed his valuable papers.
One man we know of saved only from
his house cheap plaster of paris bust
He elung to this as for dear life, carrying
it in his arms from place to place His
friends advised him to put the image away
in some safe place. No" no responded
my property is all gone but this; d.
me if I'll be stripped!'
A friend of ours hired an old farmer
with his horse and wagon, to carry away
his law and other books. One armful o
books was thrown into the wagon. Jus
then some one also threw in sewing ma
chine. The steamer Hugh Rankin a
this moment came putting and BLOWN:
down River street, and the old man be
came frightened, turned his horse and the
last our friend saw of him, he was gallOp
ing down the street at full speed, witt

and the old fellow may be running yet

the great issues with which you are called
to deal. 1t is with no desire to bring a
tribute of hattery, when we assure you,
honored. sir, of the affection and conti-

your inauguration, the thousands OF our
membership have followed you with un-

Church Courts; in our lesser Indications,
in our weekly assemblages, in the house
of God; at our family altals, in the inner

den of our petitions and when we look
at the history of your Administration

which this people have been led under

to God. In your firmness, your integrity

from our hearts. We desire, as Church,
to express to you our reverence, our love,
our deep sympathy with you in the great
ness of your trust, the depth of your per-
sonal bereavements, and to pledge to you,
as in all the future, our perpetual remem-
brance of you before God, and all the sup

given our sons to the army and navy,
some of our ministers and many of our
church members have died in the hospi-
tai and field. We are glad that we have
given them, and we exult in that they
were true to death. We gladly pledge as
many more as the cause of our country
NAV demand. We believe that there is
but one path before this people-this gi-
gantic and inexpressibly wicked rebellion
must be destroyed-the interests of hu-
manity, the cause of God and his Church
demand it at our hands. May God give
to you his great support, preserve you,
impart to you more than human wisdom,
and permit you, ere long, to rejoice in the
deliyerance of our beloved country IN
peace and unity.

know o young man, a noble fellow,
who prosecuteS a successful manufactur-
ing business. Although possessed Of an
abundant competence he devotes himself
with assiduity to the interest of his facto-
nv, ten hours every day. His eyes and
hands are everywhere. Half a year ago
he married beautiful, accomplished girl,
who is said to speak four languages of
Southern Europe (where she has resided
several years, with the fluency of natives,
while she touches the keys with infiuite
grace and skill. Four months ago they
began housekeeping; week since they
gave it up in utter disgust. The three
servants figured conspicuously in all their
griefs. The coffee was execrable, the steak
a shame cruet stand and spoons not fit to
be seen, and the whole house in confusion
and covered with dirt. The husband bore
it as long as pride and patience could en-

auction, returned to boarding, resolved
never to suffer the miseries of housekeep-

Old Age.


The following extract is from a sermon
of the late Theodore Parker, on Old Age:
The old man, he said, loves the sunshine
and fire, the arm chair and the shady nook.
A rude wind would jostle the full grown
apple from its bough, full ripe, full coloFed,
too. The internal characteristics cores
pond. General activity is less. Salient
love of new things and of persons which
bit the young mans heart, fades away
He thinks the old is better now. He is
not venturesome, he keeps at home
Passion once stung him into quickened
life, now that gadfy is no more buzzing in
his ears. Madame de Stael finds compen-
sation in science for the decay of the pas
sion that once fired her blood; heathen
Socrates, seventy years old, thanks the
gods that he is now free from that raven
Gus beast, which has disturbed his philo-
sophie meditations for many years. Ro-
nance is the child of passion and imagin-
alton; the sudden father that, the long
protraeting mother this. Old age has lit
tie romance. Only some rare man, like
Wilhelm Won Humboldt, keeps it still
fresh in his bosom. In intellectual mat
tiers, the old man loves to recall the old
time, to review his favorite old men no
new ones half so fair. So in Homer, Mes
ter, who is the oldest of the Greeks, is al
ways talking of the olden times, before the
grandfathers of the men then living had
oome into being; not such as living had
degenerate days .a
Verse loving John Quincy Adams turns
off from Byron and Shelly and Wieland
and Goethe, and returns to Pope.
Elder Brewster expects to hear st. Mar
tins and Old Hundred chanted in heaven.
To him heaven comes in the used musical
tradition. The middle aged man looks a.
round at the present; he hopes less and
works more The old man looks back on
the field he has trod; this is the tree l
planted; this is my footstep;' and he loves
his old home, his old carriage, cat, dog,
staff and friend. In lands where theVine
grows l have seen an old man sit all day
long, sunny autumn day, before his cot
tage door, in a great arm chair, his old dog
lay crouched at his feet, in the genial sun.
The autumn winds played in the old mans
venerable hairs; above him on the wall
purpling in the sunlight, hung the full
clusters of the grapes, ripening and ma
turing vet more. The two were lust alike;
the wind stirred the vine leaves and they
fell, stirred the old mans hairs, and they
whitened yet more. Both were waiting
for the spirit in them to be fully ripe.
The young man looks forward-the old
man looks back. How long the shadows
lie in the setting sun, the steeple mile
long reaching across the plain, as the sun
stretches out the hills in grotesque dImen-
sions. So are the events of life in the old
mans consciousness. $50

From the 10th Regiment.

The Columbus Journal has letter dat
ed Near Corinth, May 18th containing
matters interesting relative to the 10Th
Regiment:
On last Friday the 10Th Regiment was
out on picket duty, when brisk fire was
opened upon them; the regiment was
commanded by Lieut.. Col. Hollingsworth,
who has been for some time Colonel COM
manding, Col Beatty being Brigadier Gen
eral Commanding, since the battle of
Shiloh. The rebels having the range of
our pickets, who were placed in ravine,
threw several shells in their midst. One
shell fell in the ranks of Company F, COM
manded by Capt. Allen, and severely
wounded three men, and slightly wounded
four others. Ernest III. Strubey, of Wines
berg, Holmes Co., had his leg shattered
below the knee, and 1t was amputated at
the knee joint Michael Connolly, of Su-
gar Creek Falls, had the whole of his pos
terror shot away, laying bare the bones !;
Samuel Haver, young, intelligent, and
brave lad, had his left arm shattered in
such manner that it had to be amputated
at the shoulder. He bore his misfortune
with such heroic fortitude that it elected
the sympathy and admiration of both otfi-
GERS and men. lie is from Putnam, near
GAINESVILLE, Muskingum county, and be-
longed to Company L, commanded by
Capt. Bean.
They are all doing we'll; and our sur
geon, DIR. Hurxthal, informs us that they
will recover if some other disease does not
prevent it, Among the slightly wounded
was Z. w. Hollingsworth, Col. Command
ing. a piece of shell rebounded and
struck him on the thigh, bruising it con-
siderably piece also struck his horse in
the leg. The boys, nothing daunted by
this demonstration, rushed forward with
in rife range of the rebel battery, and
poured in such adestructive fire that they
were compelled to seek shelter in thick
lv wooded copse. The 10Th alone shot
4O. 600 rounds of cartridges during their
stay on picket duty last Friday.
One day last week, the rebels made
their appearance, with battery, in front
of Nelson's Division, and commenced
shelling his pickets, when Capt. Konkle
was ordered out with his battery, and the
very first shot he made dismounted one
oftheir guns. He fired twenty-four rounds
in Quick succession, making continu-
Gus roar as if The heavens and earth were
coming together. The butternut gentle
men skedaddled as usual through the
woods, their coat-tails playing with the
breeze.
Since I came back to the regiment, !
miss many familiar faces, who faced the
rebels, and met glorious and patriotic

bees swarmed upon bush beside one of
our picket posts, and a couple of the boys
seeing they were secesh, captured them,
and 'swore them in'-toan empty keg, and
gave them to the Colonel, who has them
located on the upper piazza of his quarters,
under the folds of the old flag, and the
little Republicans seem to thrive very
well under Yankee rule in Dixie.
The WEATHER here is delightful, with
but little rain, and although the middle
of the day brings the mercury to so or 90
in the shade, the seabreeze compensates
for it, and comes up the bay as cool and
grateful as ice cold lemonade

THE VOLUNTEERS BURIAL.
BY PARK BENJAMIN.

'Tis eve: one brightly beaming star
Shines from the eastern heavens afar,
To light the footsteps Of the brave,
Slow marching to a comrades grave
The Northern winds have sunk to sleep;
The sweet South breathes, as low and deep
The martial clang is heard. the tread
OF those who bear the silent dead.
And whose the form, all stark and cold,
Thus ready for the lOosened mould,
And stretched out on so rude bier?
Thine. soldier-thine! the Volunteer.
Poor Volunteer the shot, the blow,
Or swift disease has laid him low;
And few his early loss deplOre-
His battle fought, his journey o'er,
Alas! no Eife's fond arms caressed-
His check no tender mother pressed,
No plying soul was by his side,
As lonely in his tent he died.
He died-the Volunteer-at noon;
At evening came the small platoon
That soon will leave him to his rest,
With sods upon his manly breast.
Hark to their firel his only knell--
More solemn Il IN the passing bell;
For. ahl it tells a spirit flown,
Unshiyering. to the dark unknown
His deeds and fate shall fade away,
Forgotten, since his dying day,
And never on the roll of Fame
Shall be inscribed his humble name
Alas! like him how many more
Lie cold upon PotOmacis shorel
How many green unnOted graves
Are bordered by those placid waves!
Sleep, soldier. sleep! from sorrow free,
And sin and strife. Ills well with thee!
lis well! though not a single tear
Laments the buried Volunteer!

JUNE.

The gentle Spring came knocking at the door;
And suriy Winter grufly bade her wait:
Her timOrOus foot she placed upon the floor,
Bat winter grOwid and show d his wrlnkled pate,
And she, atfrighted. swiftly fled away
The southern winds invited her to stay,
And she return d and softly knock d again,
And nature smiled and beckOned her to enter
Now round her pathway Towering beauties centre,
And pleasure Oyerhlls the hearts of men.
The Spring arrives in SummerhOOd IN une,
When flowers are young and beautiful and bright,
And brooks and birds emit their sweetest tune,
And longest is the day and balmiest is the night.

PRESENTIMENT.

It whispers me that this must be
The last fair autumn | shall sec
That ere spring roses blossom more,
l shall have found Il brighter shore.
Yes, shall sleep, but she will keep
My image in her heart, and weep,
And plant sweet flowers that they may bloom,
And shed their OdOrs roand my tomb.
God shield my bride when ills betide;
And when life's storms she does Outride,
Bring her with our sweet pledge Of love,
To glad me in that home above
she'd no tear, feel no fear;
Only for them would life be dear.
The world, while it may do US wrong,
May teach our spirits to be strong.
There hangs no gloom around the tomb;
l do not dread my certain doom:
Through all those hcaycn-bOrn loye-lt years
Are no sad hearts, no falling tears
