tic Republic Of Paraguay, one is about to be
added to the stock: Our corresnondent at

Will soon troclaim the Empire. The crown
4nd purple intended for his coronation as
Emperor Of Paraguay have arrived in Bnenos
a5fes, ana the ceremony, we are informed,
IS sperd II to come OIL The ecanda1ous story
is told that the robe aud crown are the same
articles rs were used in the coronation Of the
negro Emperor Of l1ayti, Faustin l., now an
exile In Jamaica, and whose wife Is said to

great pomp, Initiating on the occasion the
ceremonial ut the coronation of Napoleon l.;
and rs the Emperor Lopez ts to wear his old

THIS imperial movement In Paraguay is not
very astonishing. That country bud long

terrible despotis1ns Of modern or ancient

When my Mother Tucked me In.

Cold blows the wind and dreary,
And the daylights warmth has fled,
As tired and chill, and weary,
approach my lonely bed.
To think Of home and treasures,
OF the blazing hearth within,
OF the bv-gone childish pleasures,
When my mother tucked me in,
How beamiug were her features,
And how sweet her soft Good night!
That best of human creatures
With her smile Of holy light!
How tender was the pressure
Of her kiss upon my brow,
As in words of sweetest measure
She breathcd forth, God bless You now"
How sweet the recollection
OF those happy boyish daysi
How ample the protection
OF that mothers loving gaze
Oh weary is my ycarning,
When bcset with care and sin,
For the happy days returning.
When my mother tucked me in.

NEW York CONSTITUTIONAL ANEXDxESr.-The
soldiers shall vote | Yesterday the people ofthis
State ratified by N immense majority the Act to
amend the State Constitution SO that our brave
soldiers and sailors in the army and navy can
have their political rights in future elections
The vote is light as almost everybody on the
right side considered the affair concluded by the
passage of the bill. This city cast about one
third of an average yote-the yeas being about
two-thirds of her full Union VOTE Brooklyn did
something better, and together they give II, 1872
majority for the amendment. In the country
the ayes had it all their own way at this wri-
ting, know of but two towns in the State
that go the other way, and they are Cochecton
and Trusten, in Sullivan county. Looking at
their vote for Governor we cannot say that any
one ought to be surprised, as they gave 557 for
Seymour to l43 for Wadsworth, now they say,
by 1873 majority, that soldiers shall not vote
We wish them JOY of the reputation they have
won-Mackerelville and the Five Points are dis

The farmer sat In his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe Of clay
While his hale old wife with busy care,
Was clearing the dinner away;
sweet little girl with fine blue eyes,
On her grandTa's knee watching flies
The old man placed his hand on her head
With "a tear ON his wrinkled face,
He thought how often her mother, dead,
Had sat that selfsame place;
As the tear rolled down from his halfshut eve,
Don't SMOKE said the child "how II makes yoa cry
The house dog lay stretched out the floor,
Where the after used to steal;
The busy old wife by the open door,
Was turning the spinning wheel
And the old brass clock on the mantel-trev
Had plodticd along To almost three.
Still the old man sat IN his easy chair,
While close 10 his heaying breast,
The mnistenrd brow and the head 50 fair
Of his sweet grand child were pressed.
