Speech Of Gov. Seymour.


Fitty.fve battle flags were placed in the
hands Of Gov. Seymour in the assembly
chamber at Albany last week, Wednesday,
to be deposited in the state archives. The
governor, always sensible and eloquent.
concluded his speech thus:
~ have no eloquence which shall COM
pare with that Of these mute emblems,
whose very rags and tatters are so glorious
with the memories.a and histories of martial
achievements. | have only 70 add tervens
prayer that all the sacrificess that have bee.i
made beneath those folds, that the sons We
have given up in the service Of our country,
that the blood which has been poured forth
in the defence of this flag, may nst have
been made in vain. May Almighty God,
in his providence, grant that all these things
may tend to the welfare, the glory, and the
honor of this land of ours. In the midst
Of the darkness which now overhangs Va,
in view of the uncertainties Of the contest,
with the full knowledge that still further
life must be rendered up, and still more
blood be shed 70 the cause in which we
are engaged, may we, placing full reliance
upon a wisdom greater than mans wisdom,
and trusting in a goodness and q mercy far
superior 10 that which can actuate the
human breast, may we not hope that these
sacrifices may nd in our country's glory
and honor, and not be made in vain"

THREE years ago last winter three quiet
and unassuming gentlemen stopped at the
Newhall House in this city, on the same
day, who had never dreamed Of the distinc
ton to which they have since arrived.
They were Geo. G. Meade, Wn,. F. Smith,
and Raphael Senmes. The first was a
plain captain in the army, and had charge
Of our lake surveys; the second was the
inspector Of this light house district, and
the last was connected with the light house
Board at Washington. Now one Of them
is major general IN command IF the army
of the Potomac another is also major
general, and has just been appointed to
supersede Butler at Fortress Monroe and
the other is one Of the most notorious and
successful prlvateers who ever sailed on the
great deep.-HA. Ne,cs.

MAN has been tacitly finished as q
"clothed animal" By nothing perhaps
save his boasted reason, is he more signally
designated from the lower creation, than by
the drapery and decoration with which he
invests his person; by this we do not mean
the fop.

EVER DREAMING.

am dreaming, ever dreaming,
Ofan isle dvinely fair,
Where the golden sunlight's cleaning
On the countless beauties there,
And gliding with radiant smile
The blooming valleys o'er-
am dreaming, fondly dreaming,
OF my darling native shoe.
am dreaming of her mountains grand,
Her wales and bowers green,
Where CLASSY lakes and rivnlets
= Are mingling with the scene;
Where Nature filings her v.rnal wings
The hills and vail Us DER
lam dreaming, alwas dreaming,
Ofmy darling native shore.
am dreaming of the holy wells,
The mounds and towers gray.
And fairy dells, where ruined shrines
Are mosldering in decay
Those relics of a glorious past,
That time cannot restore,
Come fitting through my visions
Ofmy daring native shore.
I'm dreaming Of the sylvan streams
That murmur through the trees,
Where flowers raise ther crimson plumeS
To kiss the morning breeze;
OF classic halls and castle walls,
bear Erin's pride Of yore-
What wonder I'd be dreaming
OF my darling native shore!
am dreaming of her banished sons,
Wide scattered o'er the nam.
Shedding their blood in every cause,
While still she writhes in pain.
o, heavens what a snevous sight
To see them in their gore,
Sinking to rest far from their blest,
Their darling native shore.

From the Lansing Journal.
TOURISTS. like all great cities,
boasts great and peculiar sights.
The tourist who visits Rome, gazes in
admiration upon St. Peters, or in Savoy he
looks down upon the world below, from
Mt. Blanc; if in Sicily, he looks into the
crater of Mt. Etna, should that fire eAhal
ing monster he in quiet humor; or if in
TheSsaly, be stands in classic dignity upon
Mount Olympus; if at Naples, he looks
with awe upon great Vessuvius, and lastly,
though by no means leastly, when at Lam
sing, he is not content, until he shall have
lost himself in the blue sky upon the giddy
apex of Mt Hosmer!
Last week, one day, party of tourists
from McGregor, Mr.. Jarrett and lady, Miss
Lowell, MIR, Giles, and Mayor Leffingwell,
came to visit cur town.
After they had seen as much Of this mud
deluged burg as was desirable, they wish
ed to look down from the ether cappt
summit of Mt Hosmer, and adding to the
party Miss Lizzie Morgan, and the base,
miserable, d.generated "willain" Of the
Journal, as guide, they determined to risk
life, fortune, friends, home, hope, health
all, in making the ascent.
1t was a dreary day in April. Dark,
@minous, foreboding, threatening and por-
tenteus clouds hung like pail over the
hills. The sun was great prestidigitator
performing tricks; now you saw him and
now you didn't!
Onward We went, cautiously, laboriously,
patiently, continually, industriously, grad
ually, quietly, cheeriully, happily and sue.
ccssfully. Not . sound was heard, save the
cracking Of leaves and sticks under our
feet, the merry trill and twitter of the rob-
ins, the gentle murmur of the wind playing
melancholy music through dead leaves on
the trees. NE occasional squawk of a duck
in the distance, or the merry laugh # a
duck IN our party, the cackle Of far of
goose such as saved Rome; ever and anon
the bark O. dorg, or the squeal of a pig,
Sampson-lke trying to carry off a gate, but
failing in very un Sanpson.lke manner !;
save these and the shvill voice of female
contrahand, down in the valley, calling
home truant urchin, nought else was
heard!
Reader, were you ever high ?-we mean
on hill THAT is to say elevated, but
not tight" on the ethereal summit of Mt
Hosmer, where one may walk upon the
clouds, as on carpet; look the eagle in
the eye and make him wink; talk to the
thunder, and stoop to pick up the chain.
lightning, to wear it as a watch guard?
Did'st ever do any of these things; say :?
An hour thus spent, and we descended
each with a splendid appetite for supper.

both u. prose and verse. Apolcgizing for
not being more prompt in writing US, he

1 Pleasure.

Pleasure.
To write for profit is usually pleasure
because it puts us in possession of material
by which we can render ourselves happy
and spare something to relieve the wants
of others. There is double incentive how
ever, in writing for both profit and pleasure.
Many personal kindnesses on the part of
principals and employees of the house of
BRADFORD BROTHERS, Milwaukee, as well
as substantial favors Of liberal kind ir-
duce US to commend them to the readers Of
the TINES as unexceled in all the agreea
bles that 60 to make up No. Wholesale
Dry Goods House. Their Spring stock of
all goods kept in first class American
wholesale houses is very large, and it is
very generally known that the purchase
was mace prior to the rise in all goods
identified with their line Of trade. We are
not sure but an excessively sharp man may
be able to buy goods trifie lower in New
York than he can in Milwaukee, but the
fear is that your goods, when you open
them in the west, will not be exactly what
you bought in Broadway. We speak
from experience in this matter. While mer-
chandizing (from 1s4S to 1860 we always
wanted to knew the men we dealt with be-
fore we looked at the goods, because there
is no judge of goods but who may be cheated
in the receipt Of grades he didn't buy !!
Who can tell, at home, after three weeks
absence from New York or Boston, whether
he opens a case of prints worth IA or Is
cents? The patterns, stamps and widths
are the same! Why not purchase near
home, then, and of those with whom you
come in monthly contact throughout the
year? Erro,s here are easily corrected and
bad faith easily ferreted out.
We do not write this mercantile phil
osophizing for Bradford & Brothers special
ly, but for all the home institutions Of like
character for whom we advertise and for
whom we do not. But wish to attest to
the integrity of the gentlemen who compose
this firm and the suavity of GEO. WRIGHT
and S,LE, their leading statesmen, has drawn
the article out till we have new only space
to say the Merchant of Iowa or Minnesota
who trades at Milwaukee will do himself
injustice unless he calls to see the Bradford
Brothers corps Of managers and statesmen.
