The IMPossIBLEs-It Is now pretty clearly
evident that Mcclellan was nominated with
the expectation that he would receive the
support Of all those geniuses. irrespective oi
past political associations, who have some I'M
possible plan for The restoration Of the Union.
The idea was shrewd one, and takes. AL
ready. the black spirits and white blue spirits
and gray" begin TO mingle. War and Peace
Democrats, Secesslouists and Fremonte5s-
the ImpossibIes from every quarter-beeiu 10
sssimilate as though their affinity is perfect.
The combination OF these antagonistic elements
however, makes dangerous compound. The
political chemists who have undertaken this
complicated job will have TO exercise great
p7ecaution. or they will be suddenly over
wbelmed By an explosion in comparison with
which the mine exploded at Petersburg would
sink into insiguldsance.

OLD FRIENDS.

Old friends, the years src passing by,
And your dear faces dream liks shine
Out from my past memory,

l close my eyes, yet still We come,
With the same looks that once we wore,
And voices that have long been dumb
listen 10 once more.
For some among you. tar beyond
Ny call or cry. have passed away;
No prayer, however wild or foud.
Could bring you back one day.
But We who, passing 10 and fro,
Still lnger on the restless earth.
O, seize the moments as they gu
The Now Of priceless worth.
o precious hours, o feetins days,
Why should We waste our ! YES apart,
Too short to spend in separate ways
For friends but one in heart?
The hygone days are all enwrought
With meaning strangers could not learn;
The soft, sad rays from their light caught
No eyes but ours discern.
Then come, old friends the evening shades
Are falling now; are gathering fast
Come back ere all the brightness fades
From our beloved Past.
Your cwn old seats are empty yet;
The old warm welcome waits you still;
o, come. the door ajar is set.
The outer air is chill.
The narrowed circle closer drawn,
Hands closer clasped for hands We miss,
So we will wait the golden dawn
OF brighter day than this.

safe IN believing that the antidote will speedily

Peace men of the Convention Of a Peace
candidate upon Peace platform"
But, after a good deal of cursing BY the
Peace men about the Fdr candidate, and az
equal amount of swearing by the War men in
relation to the Peace platform, both factions
finally quiet down, acquiesce, and begin to
cultivate enthusiasm for the Impossible candi

ment to the country Of the disabilities they
have labored under in endeayoring to dis.
charge their duty to their constituents. =
The Republican majority has been shame
fully intolerant, and has not allowed that
free discussion on disputed points Of pub

vious Congresses. They have not been al
lowed to express their views On the subject
OF arbitrary arrests, and all their motions

amounts to about the same thing. This

Lincoln's little story" about swapping
