Twenty Years Ago.


have wandered to the village Tom-Ive sat beneath
the tree, H ie
Upon the sehoolhouse play ground which sheltered
you and me;
But none are left to greet me, Tom, and few are left
to know,
That played with us upon the green just Twenty
Years Ago
The grass is just green dear Tom barefooted boys
Are sporting just as we were then, with spirits just
as gay
But the master sleeps upon the hill, all coated oer
That afforded US sliding place just Twenty Years
Ago.
The old school house is altered some the benches
replaced
By new ones, very like the same our penknives had
defaced r.
But the same old bricks are in the wall, the bell
swings to and fro,
The music's just the same, dear Tom, twas Twenty
Years Ago.
The boys are playing some old game, beneath that
same old tree.
do forget the name just now-you have played the
same with me,
On that same spot, twas played with knives, by
throwing so and so;
The leaders had task to do there twenty years ago
The spring that bubbled meath the hill close by the
spreading beach,
Is very highS'twas once so low that we could al
most reach,
But in kneeling down to get drink, dear Tom, ]
started so,
To see how sadly am changed since Twenty Years
Ago.
My lids have long been dry dear Tom but tears
came in my eyes
thought of her loved so well-those early broken
ties
I V sited the old churchyard and took some flowers
to strow
Upon the graves of those we loved some Twenty
Years Ago.
Some are in the churchyard laid, sleep beneath
the sea,
But few are left of our old class excepting you and
me;
But when our time shall come, dear Tom, and are
called to go,
I hope they II lay US where we played just Twenty
Years Ago.

Fernando wood and the President.

| The Washington correspondent of the
Republican of this city, makes the follow
ing statement, which is important if true
/ | give it for what it is woTth
Fernando Wood, of New York. arrived
here on Thursday night and yesterday
held a private interview With the President
Of several hours duration The fact that
he came direct from the great Peace meet
| ing held in New York oil Wednesday, and
that he is considered the representative
man of the party which then and there
showed a strength not to be disregarded,
in conjunction with his Easty visit, creates
most intense excitement, and causes the
widest speculations and rumors. This
morning it is stated that be came on at the
request Of the President, and further that
his closeting with that dighitary is likely to
result in most important political event
-nothing less than an armistice, and a
proposition to the Soutb TO return to the
Union Knowing ones say that the Presi-
dent has become alarmed at the increasing
strength of the Party, that he fears that
unless some attention is paid to its de-
mands, it will gain strength sufficient to Sc
riously embarrass the further prosecution
of the war; that to prevent this, and knock
! the bottom out of their tub, he mas deter
mined to take them at their word-to or
der an armistice, and offer the South terms
of compromise upon the basis of the resto-
ration of the Union; satisfied that the
South will refuse all offers, and henceforth
the peace party of the North must hold
their peace, or become the open advocates
of separation and the recognition Of the
South
Fernando Wood told some OF lis friends
at Willard's last night that he believed if
an armistice of 60 days was brought about
and an offer made to the seeded States to
take them back into the Union again with
all their former rights unimpaied, and an
amnesty guaranteed for all acts of rebel
lion, they would return He admitted the
difficulties in the way of such an adjust
ment; but he appeared to think that 60
days of peace, free interchange Of senti-
ment between the people of both sections,
and the ''intermingling Of the brothers in
the arms along the lines" (his Words
would do much towards overcoming them.
He also expressed belief that in the event
of an armistice, and disposition shown on
the part of the South to come to terms,
the people of the North would let bygones
be bygones, and demand of the Admins
tration that they should be received into
the Union again as equals and brothers.
If Fernando Wood succeeds in his pro
gramme, he will be the next President of
the United States.-COr. Bulletia

A SPUR IN THE REAR.-An amusing lit
tie incident occurred during the late battle
at Newtonia. The fight being rather hot
ly contested, an officer became very thirsty,
and repaired to a spring near at hand to get
draught of water. Kneeling down he
drank freely, without the aid of a cup As
he rose from this refreshing spring, he sat
himself fair and square upon his own heels
which were armed with a pair of tremen-
dous Mexican spurs The instant he felt
the prick of the sharp rowels, he thought
the enemy were upon him and a bayonet
entering his flesh When some Of his men
arrived, he was bawling, at the top of his
voice, "Oh, l surrender | surrender !"
PUNISHMENT OF THE UNCHAsTE.-At
later period, if female, married or unmar-
ried was guilty of misconduct. she was
required to strangle herself with her own
hands; and if she refused to do so, the wo-
men of the neighborhood assembled, and
cutting off her garments to the waist, at
tackled her with wips and knives, and hunt
ed her from village to village till death
rescued her from further torture. They
then seized her seducer, and hanged him
over her grave.-The Anglo Saron Home,

DIAMOND CUT DIAMoND.-Once shrewd con-
tractor found himself at the same inn with rival
who always trod close on his heels. He was fol-
lowed about and cross-questioned necessarily, and
gave vague answers Within half an hour of the
last moment he went into the cofee-room and sat
himself down in a corner where his rival could
not overlook him. There and then he filed up
his tender, and as he rose from the table left be-
hind him the paper on which he had blotted it,
As he left the room his rival caught up the blot
ting paper, and, with the exulling glee of con-
sciously successful rival, read off the amount
backwards. "Done this timc!' was his mental
thought, as he filled up his own tender dollar
lower and fastened to deposit it, TO his utter
surprise the next day he found that he had lost
the contract, and complainingly asked his rival
how it was for he had "tendered below him."
"Ho@ did you know you were below me9"
''Because found your blotting-paperp
II thought so. / left it on purpose for you,
and wrote another tender in my bedroom You
had better make your own calculations next
time"

AN OMNIBUS DIFFICULTY happened to
witness slight difficulty the other day. 1t SO
happened that there were eleven passengers in
the omnibus, one side Of which was occupied by
five ladies, whose ample dresses left no vacant
space. A twelfth passenger appeared, in the
shape of broad-sterned, broad-brimmed old
Quaker, with ore of those unruffled, imperturA-
bic faces so common among his sect. The con-
ductor opened the door, pushed him IN shut it
with a bang and shouted "Rightw We were
off, and the impetus propelled him ike cannon
ball to the other end Of the carriage; at length he
seized one of the brass rods, and began to realize
the difficulties of bis position. There were six
passengers the lawful number, on one side there
was no vacant space there; SO he turned his eyes
to the other. The five ladies were packed as
close as herrings in barrels they gave no sign
they seemed even unconscious Of his presence
He surveyed them slowly one by one, but his ap-
pealing look produced no effect. At length a
sudden change came over him; sleepy dreamy
expression stole over his face; he believed him
self at home, and about to seat himself in his
own easy chair Perhaps he thought Of his usu-
al after dinner maps at all events he quietly drew
his coat tails aside, turned bis back to the ladies'
and dropped himself heavily down. There was
a suppressed scream, litter, and a sudden move
ment which left sufficient space for his ample per-
son. The ladies avenged themselves by talking
of and at HIM the whole way, in language that
was far from complimentary or parliamentary
but he seemed mildly unconscious Of all that was
passing around him, and convinced that my laugh
ter was sign of incipient nsanity.-Fraser's

THE MIssERIEs OF LUGGAGE.-Nothing in
the world would be more delightful than travel
ing, if it were consistent with the proprieties of
life to dispense with garments. But we must
have clothes the clothes must be packed in
trunks and those trunks are the tourists's bane.
Even the bachelor wanderer will feel the wisdom
of the old Romans in styling baggage "impedi-
ments." His portmanteau and carpet-bag lie
heavy on his soul. He is under incessant appre
tensions that they have been left behind, or will
he deposited at some intermediate staton-per-
haps to be thence despatched by mistake to a re-
mote corner Of the kingdom. When he has
reached his destination, he is compelled TO
plunge into fierce fray to secure possession of
his chattels, in the course of which he probably
comes into hostile collision with sundry fierce
passengers through his persistence in claiming
boxes which look precisely like his own. But if
the bachelor groans under these sorrows, who
shall picture the woes of the family man, who
sets out on continental trip, bearing in his train
that awful panoply of trunks, of all forms and
sizes, and bandboXes which will insist on getting
crushed, to the fearful detriment of the new bon
nets within, and curiopsly-shaped paper parcels
so fenrlully and wonderfully made that they won't
fit in anywhere, but must Of necessity be carried
on somebody's lap, and will a lways come united
corners of things thet ought not to be seen on
any account whatever, without which no lady Of
proper feeling considers herself capable of setting
out upon the shortest tour. Who has not now
and then, while groaaing under these miseries,
envied the Spartan simplicity of that American
Senator who started from the far west to spend
six months session at Washington with no 9th
er luggage than two shirt fronts and revolver.

GARIBALDI SKETCHED.-Garibaldi stands 8
feet inches in height, and is well and strongly
made. Broad shoulders, an expansive chest,
short and thick neck, and small waist, with
well-formed hands and feet, are the features in
his person which are striking to the observer
The brow is loftyi the eyes are small and deeply
set, and of greyish tint; the hair, once
bright auburn, is now of reddei tint, and per-
fectly straight; the bea.d and moustacLe of the
same color with streaks Of grey. The whole ex-
preston Of his counteuance is one Of great benev-
olenoe and intelligence, without the least ap-
proach to fiercenessi yet there is not wanting
look ofprofound astuteness, which would bespeak
a more subtle temperament than that which he is
same time simplicity, and even tenderness, in
his manner and address which is most captiva-
ting; whilst his general bearing and attitude are
marked with dignity and composure No person
of moderate observation could be engaged, even
in short conversation with this remarkable
man, without being struck with the clear, silyery
tone of bis voice, and with the originality of his
stye.-.4dmiraL uundy.

Many a good speculation has failed for the
same good reason that the old Texan ranger
gave when he was asked why he did not
buy land Nhen it was dog cheap. "Well
did come nigh on to taking eight thous-
and acres onst," said old Joe, mournfully.
"You see two of the boys came in one day
from ali Indian hunt, without any shoes,
and offered me their titles to the two
leagues just below here for pair of boots"
For pair Of boots!' we exclaimed.-
"Yes for pair Of boots for each league"
They'd be worth one hundred thousand to-
cay. "Why didn't you give them the
boots?" "Jest because ! didn't have them
to give" said old Joe, as he took another
chew Of tobacco, quite as contented as if
he owned two hundred leagues of land.

SUPERsTIToUs PEASANTS. The belief is still
prevalent among the Irish peasantry that sneez-
ing is caused by some one Of these eral spirits at
tempting to affect an entrance into the body,
which can only be prevented by pronouncing a
blessing on the person thus affected. This super
stilion is not Indigenous to In land the Mesa
lians in the fourth century believed themselves TO
be full Of demons, which they strove to expecto-
rate by constantly splitting and blowing their no
ses. Something of the same belief is to be found
among the lower classes in Scotland, who mag
inc that these spirits take an ungerous advantage
OF them, and cause them to awaken in a state o f
terror We must always remember the fearful
dreams to which childhood is subject we have
woke up at night in state Of unspeakable and
undefnable terror, and have been told to ''sain
ourselves,"i E., to make the sign of the Cross,
which is supposed to put these midnight visitors

In one Of our beautiful suburban ceme-
teries was employed as grave-digger, up to
a week ago, a venerable man. Though
poOi he raised four gallant boys, giving to
each of them a moderate education and
good trade.
The two elder went five years ago to
New Orleans, where prosperity attended
their industry
The two younger brothers remained with
their father. George and Frederick were
their names. The latter is but II years of
age. When the war broke out, both left
their employments and enlisted. At the
battle Of Fredericksburg, in the very front
Of the line, were the boys Frederick End
George. A sortio was made by the rifle
men upon the retreating Federals, and
among those who dropped were the two
Toys, the youngest sons of the old grave
digger.
The rebel soldiers, whose weapons had
done the deed, were clad in the rags of
linsey. They ran with alacrity to secure
the clothing, the canteens, and money, per-
haps, Of the men they had laid low. The
foremost one reached the body of his dead
enemy, turned it over, and to his horror be-
held the corpse Of his younger brother, his
wooden shirt stained with a stream of blood
that ozzed from a bullet-hole above the
heart. Our informant, a chaplain in the
army, could tell us nothing Of the other
rebel brother. But this one made his way
into the Union lines, and is now in the hos
pital at Alexandria, hopeless maniac. We
learn that in their childhood the youngling
Of the flock had been the especial charge of
the elder brother. When he left for New
Orleans it was in the expectation Of enter
ing business TO which he could bring up
the boy. The boy he lived to shoot down
with his own hands Unless the remaining
rebel brother survive, the family is now
extinct. The father died of a broken
heart, and was buried last Sunday. This
is a simple statement of facts 1t is doubt
less one of ten thousand never to be writ
