The GERMANS OF ONO DESERVING VAL
LANDIGHAM.-The German democratic organ
at Cleveland has taken the name of Vallan-
digham from its columns and raised that of
John Brough for governor. The editor says,
in explanation Of his course:
"As will be noticed by our readers, we put
to-day at the head Of our paper the name of
Mr.. Brough for governor. This is no hasty
step; but we have concluded after mature
consideration and consultation with many of
our democratic friends, to lay aside for the
present party differences, and by the utmost
of our influence to aid to victory the party
that advocates the suppression Of the rebel
lion, The disgraceful scenes which a few
days ago occurred in New York city proves
that it requires the united efforts OF all good
citizens, without regard to party, to sustain
the public peace and order, and it is most GER
tanly the duty OF every one who cares for the
welfare Of our country to put aside party con-
sideratons and to support our constitutional
government.

Sound On fhe Goose.

A bashful gentleman of Holly Springs;
Mississippi, took q violent "hankefihg"
after fsir seamstress of the town, and
after a great deal Of hesitation, finally
brough. his courage up to The sticking
point and made an evening call on the
lady. He found her busily engaged a.
her work, pressing off a garment with q
tailUr's goose. She, however, received
him very courteously, and continued her
work. A bevy of the seamstress' female
friends dropped 10 few minutes after
our heroic friend had subsided into ST.
lenee, for be found il absolutely impossi-
bic to maintain a conversations with the
lady. The sudden entrance Cf the visi-
tors, instead of relieving, only added to
his embarrassment, and he sat in silence
uutil his situation became painful to sll,
but to none more than to himself. All
efforts to draw hin into conversation
proved abortive, and il became matter
of serious concern TO the ladies how to
relieve the gentleman of his embarrass-
ment without catastrophe, for he was
well known to all Of them as gentleman
of great worth, bashfnIness being his own
frailty. The seamstress fnaliy got
through with her work and called OUT to
the negro man in the kitchen
John %
The door opened, and stout, burly
negro stuck his head through the door
way, and said

"Jobn, viii yol take this goose outl'
Our bashful friend sprans to his feet
in an instant, and exclaimed:
Il beg your pardon, madam, for intrud:
ing on you, but I'll go out myself -
And before the lady could explain her
meaniog to him he had gathered his hat
and made his exit, which was followed
by the frantic yells of the girls I am
sorry TO add that that little misundsr-
eteuding made an old bachelor and an old

There was no moon through broken clouds
The stars were shining cold and white:
Awful and weird the forest looked
In the dim wxvering light.
You felt a sense Of loneliness,
Of groaping for some hidden good,
In the low sobs and trenbIings
Of the mysterious wood
You spoke, at last, in far off tones
Like one who listens in a dream:
''How near all pure and holy things,
In such calm twilights, seem
"The angels are not far away,
Their faces brighten through the gloom,
Their voices, full of heavens sweet praise,
Float through this little room.
Il know they love me their pure ewes
Have found the good l only meant;
The world has seen my barren life,
But they, the rich Intent!'
You could not see my eyes grow dim
With answering tears; my words were light
| know not how, shadow fell
Between our souls that night.
You thought it ill-timed mlrth that broke
The spell of Night with idle WORT
Q, friend how could let you see
How deep my heart WAS stirred?
Twas years ago, but even yet = .rs
Nheue er | see the cold stars gleam
Through broken clouds that hour comes back
Like an unquiet dream.
Sill through the open window drifts
The breath Of clover blosson us bright.
And, in TIE iarksome wood beyond,
Cry the lost winds OF night
/ see your earnest. burning e,es,
That smote NE with their depths of pain
Full Of vague lungingS. faint aud far,
l hear your voice again;
And, turning as with sadder loss,
Find Of that sweet June eve gone by,
There's nothing left but wilds OF dark
And winds that wall and cry
