Respectfully dedicated to the Ladies' Aid So-
ciety Of New Philadelphia, who are beseech-
Ingly appealed to, to afford relief to our suf-
lering citizens. lft
As I'm seated in my store.
~ Gently open flies the door; H'3t
{ In there trips lovely maiden,
On her arm a basket laden, -ssrs b.
Smiling sweet like aOwery spring;
What has she, sweet dear, to bringS
Short, however, my surprise,
As she asks with laughing eyes,
ErsA word ia time to utter,
"Dear, Sir, have you any butterp'
Scarce had I the maid denied,
Ere an'ancient lady cried,
Y "Any butter here to selli"
''Not pound" "Why Ia, deu tell.".
Blacksmiths with theiraprOns on,
Shoemakers and tailors come;
.Every kind and every class &
Z Ask for butter as they pass;
Ask with orders from their wives,
To butter bring or lose their lives.
And SO from morn till eve they flutter,
In the quest of butter, butter;
Butter with the taste of yore--
Say they've walked the toWnplatte GER
Ii =.
Walked until they're in splutter,
But, alas they've found no butter.
Hastily called our clerk,
Who was cleaning off his dirk;
Aud ! asked, "Can there be found,
In the country, all around,
Any butter T? But pound
= For these people whose sore feet
Traversed many crowded street,
Many deep and dirty gutter,
In the quest of sweet fresh butter"
Never will my heart forget
: y The look of lone and sad regret
= That his haggard features wore.
As'he gazed upon the floor,
Dreaming Of-the days when cream
Was thing that might be seen;s
Memories shook his frame with dread,
As in an awful voice he said
A voice that bust our window shutter
ave have, alas we have no butter" e.

WORTH OF A PAPER DOLLAR. When
men read Of gold being at ITO, they
naturally conclude that a paper dollar
is worth but 80 cents; but the 80 cents
in gold, at 10 per cent, premium, is
worth but 81 cents ppaper, SO that pa.
per is worth about so cents on the dollar
when gold is quotedfat ITO.

THE CONVENTION TODAY.

=
The Union Convention to-day should be
something remarkable, to appropriately
follow the Ward meetings Of yesterday.
These were characterized By sentiment
far in advance Of that which has too often
left these preliminary meetings to the
lowest party hacks. The number Of votes
cast in the several Wards vas larger than
On any previous occasion. The attendance
on the places Of voting was characterized
BY order, and thorough carnestness. The
citizens who came out yesterday irrespec-
tye Of old party ties, to shape the organi-
zation Of the convention today, did so
many Of them from newly awakened
sense Of the duties they owe the institutions
under which we live.
If any man comes into the Convention
to-day with any less worthy motive, he
should be as specified bird. It will be-
long to IN older and far poorer fashion, il
any m2n seek to shape the doings Of the
Convention to his personal animosities.
It is an insult to loyal men to borrow OF
anticipate their decisions, to fight private
teuds The sole pervading sentiment in
the Convention to-day should be, as il
doubtless will be, unfinching fealty to the
Government, and recognition Of the duty
Of putting those, and only those, in ofllct
who are loyal. sound and true to Unior
and the U1r.

4 large body Of prisoners has been collect.
ed in Fayetteville awaiting shipment to St.

decline to issue any writ Of election to fill the
vacancy In the Congressional delegation
caused by Nocll's death. This is equivalent to
an assumption that the Governor may be
called on to decide the question of contest on

There are circumstances under which man
with The asthma may really breathe freer than
any other man. For instance, on the arrival
Of our asthmatic friend at Eick5burg, referred
to in recent issue, the hungry guard, Of
course, picked him up as 4 fresh recruit. He
could afford to laugh at them, but he did what
was better. He followed them at \ brisk pace
up steep hill, to tie Provost ALlrshal's office,
and there sat himself down for a job Of heavy
breathing, that took him full half an hour, at
the end Of which time the guard grufHy told
him TO clear out. Why, with ell its poverty,
the rebel government would not trust pinch
Of powder With a man with the asthma. This
left him free to look about town, which he
did laboriously, and quite ut his leisure, for,
had he not the ready RECOURSE Of thick pant
ings that would do credit to IL river steamer,
as his free passport for his goiugs out and COM
ings in: That is why Vicksbulrg, to 4 man
with the asthma, would wear i different
look from that it would present to
your hearty fellow, straightway caught
and harncsscd into the Mississippi

Rangers, or any other similarly cnphonious
military organization. The map we give else.
