In days of auld lang syne,
when you were very young, Jim,
And winsome thing;
In itacr lands and ilhsr chimes,
We've stray'd ,hegither lang,
We've quaff 4 the cup mid joyous times
And lang thegilher sang.
Around the ingN-siSe we've sat,
And smoked our pipe in peace.
Nsr dream'd of harm in coming years,
Nor thought bur joys should cease;
But times have changed, alas, Jim
And we are growing gray,
And joys that once We look'd upon
Are noe with ns to-day.
Our hearts remain the same, Jim,
Though times and seasons change,
Though joys Of yore are now game,
And things around are strange;
The future as the past may be,
Flu bright vi blooming flowers,
And we may live its joys % see
In nony coming hours.

THE CAUsE OF VALLAEDTGaAM's
ARREsT.--The facts stated in the fol-
lowing dispatch from Columbus, Ohio,
TO the Chicago Tribune probably Lad
something to do with the arrest of Va
landigham.--The dispatch says:
The infamous Vallandigham made
speech here last evening, in which
be denounced Gen, Burnside's order,
and said that the court marshals being
held at Cincinnati were illegal, and
that he would resist them. Vallan-
digham was to speak at Mount Vernon,
a little town in the back-woods Of
Ohio to, day and i is probable he spoke
his sentiments more freely. Gen.
Burnside had sent up portion Of his
staff in citizens dress 10 report him,
and we should not lie surprised 70
learn that Vallandgham had got him
self into scrape.
