An immense bowl Of apple toddy, besides
other equally exhilarating beverages,
awaiting the guests in the dining hall,
and were done full justice to. After an
hour or more spent over the social glass,
the company adjourned to the front porch

The Presideut,- Bodv Guard.

A company of Ohio cavalry, commanded by
Captain Bennett, of Scotts 900, has been ap-
pointed body guard to the President.-BatE-
man Transcript.
This is significant of the change that has Ia
ken place in our form of free government. A
body guard for the President This is one of
the indications of Dictatorship" Gin. Enc.
The above startling piece of intelligence, COM
ing to US through such unmistakable channels
of authority, we cannot for moment doubt its
correctness. The President has not less than
one company of men, probably 20 or s0,) pro-
vided with quarters near the White House, with
which tremendous force he intends to set up the
business of carrying on this Government on
his own hook" o LOrdl upon what times we
have fallen. Only think Old Abe, that eve.
rybOdy thought was honest, trying to steal this
Government, and appropriate it to his own use.
According to the above, he has already got the
whole thing, and a whole company of fdSodgers'
to help to take care of it. and him also. Of
course the Constitution as it is" the Union
as it was, with the niggers have all @gone VI" Z"
Old Abe, with his body guard, is going to try
to run the machine alone. What an old sinner
he must be to do this Just now, right in the face
of the new church dispensationl He'll 90 to
purgatOry sure.-NdpoIeoR Press.

Old Buck.

The New York EreIeing Post has been shown
bundle of thirty eight five dollar notes on the
Pottstown, Bradford county, Pa, bank, with
James Buchanan's portrait engraved upon one
corner, and in thirty of the notes the word
" Traitor" is written across Buchanan's fore
head; in others, the letter " T is branded; on
one the following words appear: Give him his
deserts" on another is written, Ye old devil .
and still another bears this inscription: False
to his country and his God, but true to the DEM
ocFatic party" Some ingenious individuals, at
a loss to express their contempt in words, resort
to symbols; one has drawn a copperhead
snake, wriggling in the mouth of Buchanan,
another decorates the head with cap and bells
and a third encloses the neck within a nOosa
which is attached to gibbet.

SONG.


A bewitchingy sweet and tender poem from the "At
lantic Monthly" for March Editor Home Journal.
We have been lovers now, my dear,
1t Itmatters nothing to say hor long,
But still at the coming round 9th year
make for my pleasure little song;
And thus of my love sing, my dear.
So much the more by year, by year.
And still as see the day depart
And hear the bat t my window fit,
sing the little song to my heart,
just change at the close oft,
And thus of my love sing away
So much the more by day, by a day.
When in the morning see the skies
Breaking into gracious glow,
say you are not my sweetheart's eyes,
Your brightness cannot mislead me SO;
And l sing of my love in the rising light
So much the more by night, by night.
But at the years sweet dawn and close,
When the moon is filling, or fading away,
Every day, as it comes and goes,
And every hosr dfevery day,
Ny little song repeat and repeat
So much the more bv hour, my sweet.
