who will be nominated by the Democracy

best man to nominate. Many Democratic

with more experience as a statesman.

Homes Harmony.

The lark may sing her sweetest song,
As rising from the waving corn,
On soaring wings she skins along,
To welcome in the rising morn;
Her sweetest song is naught to me,
Compared to homes sweet harmony.
Deep in the woods, the nightingale
At midnight hour may tune her lay,
May pour upon the lst'ning vale
Her loveliest stream Of melody;
Lovely her midnight lay may be,
But loyelier homes sweet harmony.
Sweet are the songstcrs Of the spring,
And Of the summer sunny days,
And autumn's feathered warblers sing
In rapturous strains their sweetest lays
Lovely the songs Of bower and tree,
But lovelier homes sweet harmony.
But Oh what cheers the winter night,
When all around is dark and gloom,
When feathered songsters take their fight
Or fill gloomy little tomb?
'Tis at such hours as these that we
Prize most our homes sweet harmony
Oh when dark clouds above Us lower,
And life's drear winter Ger us comes,
IT'S then we feel your magic power,
Ye songsters of our hearts and names
For soon the lowering clouds do flee
From our dear homes sweet harmony

that the architect sold himself to old

gave him, but did not allow him to carry
out to completion, as he carried him off
before the towers were hall finished -
The architect, nevertheless, was man
of genius and would find but little en-

How TO PREVENT WET FEET--A
writer in the Mechanics Magazine, who
said he had three pairs Of boots last
him six years, and thinks he will not
require any more for six years to come,
tells how he treats them: Il put a
pound each Of tallow and rosin in pot
on the fire when melted and mixed,
apply it hot to the boot with a painters
brush until neither the sole nor the up
per will soak any more. fit is aes;-
rous that the boots should immediately
take polish, dissolve an ounce Of wax
in teaspoonful Of turpentine and lamp
black. A day after the boots have
been treated with the rosin and tallow,
rub over them this wax and turpentine,
but not before the fire. Thus the ex-
terror vii have coat Of wax alone and
shine like mirror.
Tallow and grease become rancid
and rot the stitching or leather, but
the rosin gives it an antiseptic quality
which preserves the whole.

ANOTHER CoTroN CAsE.-We see
it stated that Gen. Curtis, when be
occupied Helena, in 1852, captured
twenty-three hundred bales of cotton
belonging to Geu. Pillow, then of the
Confederate service. These were con-
fiscated, and, as was supposed, turned
over to the officers OF the United
States Treasury Since Gen Pillow
obtained his pardon. however, it has
been ascertained that the Government
has never received any benefit from
this cotton operation, and it is inferred
that Gen. Curtis knows something Of
the manner Of its disposal. Gen Pill
low has instituted proceedings against
Gen. Curtis for the missing cotton, OF
its equivalent in currency.--&. Lou''
