About ncratfo Seymour's Re-Nom-
fnafl0n.

The New York Times, in common with
the Tribune and other Republican jour
mails, delights in the re nomination Of
Seymour forGovernor of Now York. The
Times says:
Governor Seymour was re-nomnated
with exclamation. and it ia with acclama-
ton that the nomination is welcomed by
Union men.
Governor Seymour is the Chicago plat
form and McCiellan's letter rolled into
one He is the embodiment of that kind
OF apprehension which is intensely anti.
war in spirit, yet never SO in form, which
is Of very harmless aspect, and yet full
of deadly poison. No man has been more
intent on cessation of hostiIities" than
he, and yet no man has oftene- cried for
"the Uuion at all hazards" The Union
party could have no more dangerous op.
ponent were he now candidate for the
first time. But he has clearly shown
what he is as Governor, and, in the face
of bis record, there is no such thing as
his deceiving the people. |. is not too
much to say that there has never been
gubernaiionsl term in this State that has
flied The public heart with titterer disap-
pointment or keener shame than that now
expiring. It is living picture of the
meanest SOFT nt faction-malce without
courage, mischief without responsibility.
We say HAT Governor Seymour is the
best living exponent Of what copperhead-
ism would be in power. 1t is a fortunate
thing that his party presents him again
for the sufiiages OF this grea. State. II
shuts eff every chance Of deception. 1t
turns the specious resolutions OF the Con-
vention into iitter. II is worth to the
Unlon party any number Of arguments,
appeals aud warnings. The faclious ness
which In other States has been only syl-
Tabled ia the air, has in this State, under
the Administration OF Governor Seymour.
taken palpsble shape. We have had an
experimental proof of what copperhead.
ism. even in lis biandest aspect, is cana.
BILE of being 10 its development and an.
plica,on. The opposition party of the
State, in Recommending Governor Sew
mour with such zeal, avowed him 10 be
the man after their own heart. Such a
disclosure is in itself defeat.
The Herald says:
To the astonishment of everybody,
Horaiio Seymour is up again for re-elec-
ton as Governor Of this State. His re
nomination is Characteristic of the man
and the faction by which he is surround.
ed. Seymour tried 70 get the nomination
at Chicago BY the same tricky means he
has secured it at Aloany-by declaring
beforehand that be would not be- can.

The Songs My Mother Used to Sing.
BY MARY E. REEs.


When memory wakes her notes of cheer,
And through the heart their echoes ring,
How softly steal DER Fancys ear,
The songs my mother used to sing
1t glads me to recall the day,
When folded gently on her breast,
She sang the low, sweet lullaby,
That hushed my infant woes to rest.
In childhood's hours, when sickness came,
And paed my little brow and cheek
She was beside me STILL the same
KIND watcher DER the wan and weak.
Dear Mother, IN that helpless hour
hat ceaseless tenderness was thine
To guard so carefully the flower
That health and bloom might yet be mine.
And life aud bloom aud hope were given,
Once more my mother sang and smiled
Our home was like a cloudless heaven,
grew a healthy, happy child
o, childhood's gay and laughing hours,
Why do ye roll so swiftly by,
When fairer bloom the summer flowers.
And stars shine brighter in the skyl
Old time may spread his tireess wings,
And onward sweep with rapid fight,
Bearing earth's fairest, lOveliest things
Beyond the ken of mortal sight;
Yet memOrys harp shall still be near
I'll bid her strike each golden string;
And once again shall charm my ear,
The songs my mother used to sing.
The flowers that round my pathway bloom,
The glorious stars that nightly shine,
May fade away in endless gloom
But memory's gift shall still be mine;
And when the last dark hour shall come,
Her sweetest harmonies she'll bring,
While angels wait to bear me home,
With songs my Mother used TO sing
, 1864-11-18


THE BIG BoY.-If there is nuisance in the
world greater than another, it is the "big boy" 4"
that nOndescript individual, neither man nor
child whose long arms and limbs project un-
gracefully from the scant and outgrown gar
ments, and who seems to be always in a state of
EXTREMIST desperation to what he shall do
with them. We can remember in childhood be-
ing terribly afraid Of big dogs, and going
block or two to avoid meeting them, in journeys
to and from school We would 60 farther, now,
to avoid meeting big boy. See him rs be
pitches along, his lank arms swinging, and his
large feet looking still more enormous from his
scant growth Of trousers, thrown recdessy
about, and sure to become entangled in the
nearest Skirts whether of silk or tissue. If the
first part of the operation is not disastrous, the
effort to extricate himself surely will be, and the
robe may be set down with sigh as another
sacrifice to his aWkwardness.
Strange that the big boy in his efforts to be
manly, never thinks of emulating the chivalrous
virtues and gallantry Of gentlemanly men, but
always affects the manners ofa trough" adopts
staggering gait, smokes, uses protane Ian
guage. calls his mother 'the old lady" his fa-
ther the governor" and speaks impertinenty
to, and Of his sisters, whose greatest trial in
life is the possession of such brother.
Properly the big boy ought to be a source of
pride and comfort, the protector of his sisters.
and the hope of his household. 1t is upon him
that money and care are principally laYished.
To give him education and position, to put him
in a way of obtaining honorable livelihood,
expenses must be curtaled and the girls exclu-
ded from every advantage and privilege of their
sex, and their reward is generally experience
of his precocIous coarseness and brutality,
which it takes many years to soften into cour-
age and manliness. Cannot some improvement
on the species be inyented?-[ Talks on Women's
Topics.

THE NATURE OF AN OATH.-The following, not
from JOSH is told of an uncombed chap, called
as a witness before the Court
''Where do you liver says the Judge.

"Where does your mother live 2"
''She lives with father '
Where does he live ?"
''He lives with the old folks'
'Where do they live?" says the Judge, get
ting very red audible suicker went around
the room
"They live't at home ~
"Where in thunder's their home ?" roars the
Judge.
"THafs ehere I'm from !" says the boy, stick
ing his tongue in a corner of his cheek and slow
ly closing one eye on the Judge.
"Here, Mr.. Constable, says the Court, "take
this witness out and tell him to travel; he evil
dently does not understand the true natpre ofan

TEA BRANDS AND THEIR MEANNG.-The fol-
lowing will interest housekeepers:-
"Hyson" means before the rain, or ''hodr-
ishing spring" that is, early in the springs
hence it is often called "Young Hyson." "Hy-
son skim is composed Of the refuse of other
kinds, the native term for which is "tea skin"
Refuse of still coarser descriptions, containing
many stems is called "tea bones" ''Bohea" is
the name of the hills in the region where it is
collected. "Pekoe" or Poco" means "white
hairs, the down of tender leaves. "Pow-chong"
"folded plan" "Soucoong," small plant. ~
"Twankay' is the name Of a small river in the
region where it is bought. "Congo" from
term signfying ''labor," from the care required
in its preparation
