Thaddeus Stevens.

The leader of the House, by virtue of his
position as chairman Of the Committee Of
Ways and Means, is Thaddeus Stevens, also
Yankee by birth, he having entered life in
Vermont, upward of seventy years ago. Af-
ter having graduated at Dartmouth, Mr.. Stev-
ems found his way to Pennsylvania, in which
state be has since resided, and where he has
been elected to many high positions. Nat
urally lame, and, if mistake not, q bache-
lor, Mr.. Stevens has many Byronic traits,
and he is regarded as the John Randolph of
our day by those who never saw that eccen-
tric Virginian, and who do not know how
mentally inferior be was to the Pennsylva-
nian who now leads the House. This. in
the present crisis, is no easy task, for the op-
position is ever ready TO wage a guerilla
warfare, and the leader of the administration
forces must, as If were, sleep on his arms,
ready at any moment to face the foe. And
Mr.. Stevens does face his adversaries. Some
times be meets them with sarcastic irony
sometimes with earnest and impassioned ar
guments-sometimes with soaring invective
but be always meets them, and If is rarely
that he comes off second best. John Ran
dolph never gave an opponent such a casti-
CATION as has often been administered by
Thaddeus Stevens in one singing phrase,
and those Republicans who gruuble about
his irascibility Of disposition are those who
fear his honest exposure of humbugs. There
is no discount on Thaddeus Stevens-Perlsy

pectfu lily dedicated TO the bereaved mother
BY LEILA LYNDON.
When the fiow'retS all had persisted,
And their beauty laid aside.
Then our precious flow ret faded,
Darling little Elva died.
As the death-damp gathered Ger her
Family came her fond farewell:
oh, | love you, dearest mama.
Love you more than tongue can tell "
Then to ours she passed Sc fondly
Lips on which death seal was set.
Slowly then died out the heartt-hrobs
Of our darling household pet
Oh. our hearts seem well-nigh breaking
Since the grave that dear dust hid.
And since other dust is resting
Heavy on her cOttin-id,
Comes acrushing weight OF sorrow,
Since no more that little head
Nestles warmly on its pillow,
But hes sleeping With the dead.
How we miss the murmuring music
OF her voice in childlike giee,
Music to mother sweeter
Far than richest symphony.
How with lingering thought we ponder
Over all her winsome ways,
How the shadows strangely lengthen
Through the loI ely, weary days,
And each day her little sister,
All that's left to cheer our home.
Calleth in her infant sorrow:
Sister Elya. come. oh, come -
But we'll teach her Elva's left US;
Oh. It's reyy hard to bear;
That i'll heaven sweet sister liveth.
And her teachers angels are.
For we known she's safely shielded
From each storm on life'> rough sea,
More than ours His love who whispered
Little Elva, come to me
Very gentle was our loved one
While this tear dimned earth she trod,
Very ike shining angel
Seemed this precious gift of God.
Many heart was drawn all closely
Unto her so meek and mild.
Many lesson pure and holy
Learned they from this little child.
Can we spare her, our sweet darliug.
Spare her whom we loved 50 well !:
Yea, It's lust-from lis our Father

HALE'S HONEY
OF
HOREH OUND AND TAR,

For the cure OF
Coughs, Colds Influenza, Hoarseness, Difficult
Breathing, and all Affections Of the
Throat, Bronchial Tubes and Lungs,
leading to consumption.
This sovereign remedy is compounded from the
fayorite recipe of an illustrious Physician and
Chemist who for many years used it with the
most complete success in his extensive private
practice.
He had long been profoundly impressed with
the wonderful virtue Of the honey of the plant Of
Horehound, in union with the CLEANSING and
HEALING properties of tar extracted from the
LIFE PRINCIPLE Of the forest tree Abies Bal
samoa or Balm of Gilesd. For years he was baf-
6ed in his attempts to blend these great medici-
nal forces into such union that the original
power of each would be preserved, the disagreea-
BILE qualities of common tar removed, and the
price Of the compound be within the means Of
ALL At last, after long course Of difficult chem
ical experiments, he found that by adding to
these FIVE ingredients, each one valuable by it
self he not only obtained the desired results bat
greatly increased the curative power Of the COM
bound. This having been thoroughly tested BY
practice, is now offered to the general public as
a safe, pleasant and infallible remedy.

From shs Army of the Potomac.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAo, !
Nov. 6.
The First division of the I'd corps,
now commanded by Gen. Miles, were re-
viewed yesterday by Gen. Hancock and
presented fine appearance. This di-
vision has been largely reinforced by
recruits and is now the largest in the
army. Gen. Hancock was enthusiast
cally cheered as he rode along the line.
There was quite lively time between
the pickets on the left Of the line, on
Friday night, resulting in the loss of
four men on each side.
Yesterday good deal Of artillery fir
-; ;T1g . .:,L Mace near Jerusalem plank
road. but without loss to us. Last
night the pickets in the same vicinity
opened fire shortly after dark and kept
it up sharply all night. About ii p. IN.
the rebels attempted to advance their
picket line to recover some ground
which our men gained last week, but
our soldiers made stern objections and
for an hour or two the exchange Of lead
was quite heavy.
A citizen Of Richmond arrived within
our lines yesterday morning, having
left that city four days ago. He was in
the liquor business, and fearing the au-
thorities would soon put him in the AZ
my, concluded to take his departure.
He tells the old story Of want and desti-
tuition in Richmond of garroters' ope-
rations nightly in the streets; high
prices of the necessaries of life, &c. He
also says the rebels in front of Peters
burg are busy mining under our works,
but at what point could not be ascer-
tanned, and body guard is kept in the
vicinity, aud no one was allowed near
the place excepting those engaged at the
work. Very little faith is placed in his
statements.
All is now quiet throughout the line.
