"DIsGRAcEFUL." Under this caption, the
Muscatine Courier, a small rebel organ, edited
by a very small political demagogue, in Tues
days issue, lyingly alleges that "furloughed
soldiers have been insulted by Abolitionists
asking them whether they are loyal or not"
The writer knew he lied, and he knows that
every intelligent person knows that he knew
he lied when he penned the scurrillous para
graph. We challenge the Courier man, or
any of its friends, to name a loyal citizen who
has insulted returned soldier. We chal-
lenge him to name a soldier, furloughed OF
discharged, who has been insulted by an
"Abolitionist." We don't like to notice such
paragraphs, but when man lies with such
brazen efrontery it is well enough to remind
him of it before folks.

Now never more, oh never, in the worth
Of pure cause, let sorrowing love on earth
Trust fondly-never more the hope is crush'd d
That lit my life the voice within me hush'd,
That spoke sweet oracles; and return
To lay my youth, as in a burial urn,
Where sunshine may not find it, All is lostl
No tempest met our barks-no billow toss'd;
Yet were they severed, even as we must be,
That so have loved, SO striven our hearts TO free
From their close-coiling fate in vain in vain
The dark links meet, and clasp themselves again,
And press out life
My friend, my friend where art thou7 Day by

Gliding like some dark, mournfIl stream, away,
My silent youth flows from me. Spring the
while
Comes and r,ins beauty on the kindling boughs,
Round hall and hamlet; Summer, with her
smile, ... ,F...
Fills the green forest, young hearts breathe
their vows;
Brothers long-pared, meet. Hope laughs from
loving eyes.
All this is in the world On one alone
Their freshness may not falI-the stricken deer,
Dying of thirst with all the waters near.
Dost thou forget me? am proved
So long, so sternly-my beloved. a.a..r

Baron Rothschild's Little Milf.

An amusing adventure is related as
having happened TO the Bank of England,
which had committed the great disrcspect
of refusing to discount bill of large
amount, drawn by Anselm Rothschild, Of
Frankfort, on Nathan Rothschild, of Lon
don. The Bank had haugh,ily replied
"that they discounted only their own bills,
and not those of private PERSONA !. But
they had to do with, one stronger than the
bank. Private persons / will make
these gentlemen see what sort Of private
persons we arep'''i ~ l-Yf, i ,..,.s., i.tl
Three weeks afterward Nathan Roths-
child-who had employed the interval in
gathering all the G5 notes he could pro-
cure in England and on the continent
presented himself at the bank at the open
ing Of the Office. He drew from his
pocketbook 95 note, and they naturally
counted out FIVE soYereigns, at the same
time looking quite astonished that the
Baron Rothschild should have personally
troubled himself for such a triAe. The
Baron examined one by one the coins, and
put them into little canvass bag; then
drew out another note, third, tenth, a
hundredth, He never put the pieces Of
gold into the bag without scrupulodsly OK
amining them, and in some instances try
ing them in the balance, as, he said, "the
law gave him the right to do"
The first pocket book being emptied,
and the first bag full, he passed them to
his clerk and received q second, and thus
continued till the close of the bank -
The Baron had employed seven hours to
change G21g000. Butiss he had also nine
employees Of his house engaged ID The
same manner, it resulted that the house
Of Rothschild had drawn G210, 900 In gold
from the bank, and that he had so occu-
pied the tellers that no other person could
change o single note. ,,s.ly z.y !,
Everything which bears the stamp Of
eccentricity has always pleased the Eng.
lish. They were, therefore, the first day,
very much amused at the little. pique Of
Baron Rothschild. They however laugh

AN ANXIOUS INoUIRER.-Some two
miles up the river st. Johnsbury, VT, is a
primitive sort of village called 'sTbe
Centre" Here, not long since, the rus
tic youth of the vicinity congregated for
a dance" "and dance they did," said
our informant, with an JUNCTION unknown
to your city bellies and beaux.'" One in.
teresting young man having imbbed rath
er too freely, became fatigued in the
course of the evening, and wisely conclu-
ded to retire for short rest. A door
ajar near the dancing hall revealed, in
vitingly, a glimpse of comfortable bed,
of which he took possession with the pres
pect of an undisturbed "snooze." 1t SO
happened, howbeit, that this was the Ia
dies Withdrawing room. No sooner had
ne closed his eyes, than pair of bloom
ing damsels came in from the hall and be-
gan adjusting their disordered ringlets,
the dim light of the tallow candle not dis
closing the tenant of the bed The girls
tongues, like most of their stsack," ran on
in this wise :--"What nice dance We are
having! Have you heard anybody say
anything about me, Jane 2" "La, yes,
Sally! Jim Brown says he never saw you
look SO hadsome as you do to night
Have you heard anybody say anything
about me ?" "About you, why, ,sarsin
| heard Joe Flint tell Sam Jones that you
was the prettiest dressed girl in the
room" Whereupon the dear things
cbuckled, "fxed" a little more, and made
off towards the ball room They had
hardly reached the door, when our half
conscious friend raised himself upon his
elbow, and quite intelligibly, though
slowly, inquired, "Ha' you heard ary body
sag anthing about me, giirls?'' They fed
with an explosive scream.
