GR0WING Old.


Touch US. oh, timel with light hand as you
pass
Tempt us 10 think it a loving caress,
Tread on our hearts, too, with Feverent care
Crush not the flowers Of life blooming there;
Furrow our forcheads with care if you will
But let youth linger within our hearts STILL
Mid our dark tresses are fibres of gray
Silent reminders Of life's heesing day;
Aud when we turn TO the shadowy past,
On its bright alters lay ashes and dust:
. Ali lie fair idols are marked with decay
All its sweet pictures are faded away.
Sadly we look for the friends of the past
They Of strong heart and the beautiful trust:
Some we find sleeping beneath sculptured
stone;
Some toiliug wearily alone;
Some thro' ambition grown hesrtless and.cold,
But one and all, save the dead, growing old.
oft we grow weary in watching in vain,
Ger hopes that always shadows remain,
Weary Of counting the joys that have died;
Weary of laying bright visions aside;
Weary of taking but dross for pure gold,
Weary, SO weary, of years growing old.
Chase from us, Time, all shadowy fears;
Lift from our lives the slow burden of years;
shadow our foreheads and silver our hair,
But, oh, shield our hearts from the burrows Of
care.
Let not the heart grow selfish or cold,
And we no longer fear to grow DID,

A REMINIeCENCE OF 1S35-AN AMKRI.
CAN EXILE. lI

Not long since, and elderly man, bent
almost double with age and work and in
garments tattered aud torn, while passing
through Rome N. Y, stopped atone of the
stores and asked for bread and money
He volunteered the remark that he was
ashamed to beg, but stated, as an explain
alton and extenuation, the following as the
cause of the necessity. His home was Sar-
atoga, and he CHANGED to be in Canada at
the time of the rebellion in that country
in 1887.
He was charged with being engaged in
that outbreak, was tried and coyicted for
being in cmphcity with the patriots, y
and sent to Van Dieman's Land for life
He says he was not guilty, but the feeling
was so strong against the "Yankees" at
the time of his trial, it required but slight
evidence to convict. 8Ift9
He was then twenty-five years of age;
he was taken to that penal colony, and there
subjected to the severest dTudgery and the
most inhuman treatment; lie, with other
convicts, was compelled to draw the plow
and cart like oxen, and to labor early and
late and treated not much better, if any
than the dumb beasts. Thus were twenty
eight years of his life passed, neverllearing
from home or friends, nor allowed to COM
municate Herewith. He, with others, was
finally pardoned and allowed to reach
home as best they might. He left the
country hale and hearty youth, erect and
full of life and vigor; he returns to it after
nearly thirty years absense decrepit old
man, bent over with age and work, and
shattered health and broked constitution.
The marathon he gave of his life there, and
the details of bis treatment fully impress
ed his hearers with the truth of his state
ments, and that he was no impostor. He
was on his way home, not knowing as he
would find being who knew him when a
boy. -,

There are many affections of the eyes
which are radically incurable. 1t is use
fal, therefore, to know soHe Of the causes
which, by debiiitating the eye, invites dis
ease to it, or render it incapable Of resist
ing adverse influences.
Avoid reading by candle or any other
artificial light.
Reading by twilight ought never to be
INDUCED in. "A safe rule is--neverread

The practice Of reading on liorseback,
or in any vehicle in motion BY wheels, is
always pernicious. - g wwB
Reading on steam or sail vessels should
not be largely indulged in, because the
slightest motion of the page or your body
alters the local point, and requires pain
full, straining effort to adjust it.
The glance of the sun on water is very
injurious to the sight.
A sudden change between bright light
and darkness is always very pernieious.
In looking at minute objects, relieve the
eyes frequently by turning them to some
thing in the distance.
Let the light, whether natural or arti-
fetal, fall on the page from behind, lit
tie to one side. - eie< - = eras
If the eyes are matted together after
sleeping, the most instantaneous and agree
able solvent in nature is the application Of
the saliva with the finger before opening
the eyes. Never pickit of with the fng-
er nail, but wash it off with the ball Of
the fingers in quite warm saltwater.
Never bathe or open the eyes in cold
water. 1t is always safest best and most
agreeable, to use warm water for that pur-
pose over seventy degrees.-Hdlrs Jour-

EARNEST MEN.

Enthusiasm is magnetic. Like the
magic fiddle of little Fritz in the German
legend, it fascinates and draws after it the
crowd. No eloquent enthusiast ever
lacked followers, whether his creed were
right or wrong. The earnest man of ac-
tion, even though very bungler in his
rhetoric, is sure to have plenty of friends.
His deeds speak for him. Cromwelps
speeches were generally unintelligible, but
he was terribly IN earnest both as fanat-
ic and soldier. 1t was impossible to doubt
the sincerity of his prayers, or to misunder-
stand the logic of his victories. Mahom-
et was a man of vast capacity, great or
slor, furious sectarian, and an honest
hearted hero. Such combination was
irresistible, and he founded at once new
Empire and new creed. Had the intel
lect Of Luther been more passive type,
his conquests over error had never been
achieved. 1t was the war-like ardor with
which he challenged and defed his antsg-
cnists, that enlisted sympathetic spirits un-
der his banner, and made the Reformation
a success. To come down to later time
confidence in his own destiny was the in
spiration of Napoleon, and it was because
he believed in himself that his army be-
lieved in him. He thought himself ire
sistible and so thought every man in his
hosts, from the marshsls of the empire to
the meanest followers Of the camp. To
this delusion, as much as to his genius,
may be ascribed the glories of his dazzl-
ing career StonewalI Jackson-a man of
not very extraordinary talent-was an en-
thusiast whose zeal and fervor were worthy
of better cause and better fate. No
red cross knight ever shouted the crusad-
er's shibboleth, "God wills T." with moro
passionate devotion than he did the war
cry of Treason.
Ithas ever been thus, and ever will be.
Without energy and earnestness, nothing
that the world will remember can be ac-
complished. They often save bad cause
from defeat, and almost invariably secure
the ultimate triumph of good one. In
the field, the fourm and pulpit in art,
science, literature and love, they are alike
indispensable to success. ''Whstever thy
hand fndeth TO do, do it with all thy
might" is glorious precept

APLEA EoR. COURTESY.

If your pen was a pin, we would stick
it into the trowsers of those people who
seem to have taken out lieence to be ug-
ly. They are class by themselves in the
matter of temper, and ought to be class
by themselves in the matter of Territory
They are SO abcmmsbly cross-grained that
YOU cannot approach them without riling
them, or deal with them without being
insulted by them.
Some of them are petty clerks who
seem TO be of the eopinion that they magni-
fy their Office by airing their ascerbity.-
They take pains to be impertinent in or
der to be smart, and ought to be made
20 smart for their pains.
Il is vexatious inthe extreme to do busi-
ness with man who is deficient in busi-
ness courtesy. Save us from your moross
mannered merchant, whose speech is sea-
soned with the twang. of ire, and whose
answers are arrows tipped with bile. 1t
Is surprising how success can have the
bad taste to tolerate such poor, but we
are quite sure that success is often withheld
for the reason that it has too nice sense
Of propriety to consort with man whom
nature intended for dog.
But we put business courtesy on high
er grounds than seif-interest We put our
demand for il Oh the principle of justice
between man and man. 1t is no mans
right TO be any other animal than that he
was designed to be by Providence man.
Let him be man and gentleman in his
intercourse with man. .dt
Il is refreshing to deal with business
men who have nice sense of business
Courtesy, and who can make bargain for
themselves without making bears of
themselves, and If does ones heart good
10 receive a civil answer to civil question
at the post-office, the railroad Office, and
the newspaper Office.
Courtesy is the best policy and the best
breeding. Those who trample omit should
be themselves treated to the sneers in
stead of the patronage of their fellows.
What are the business colleges about
that they do not teach business courtesy
let them turn the attention of the young
men under their trainingto the necessity OF
urbsnity at the counter and in the Office,
where the public usually congregste.-
And when a corporation sets upon select
ing one of their number TO meet the pub
lie IN their name, let them make choice OF
weIl-bred man, if there are none such
among them, let them hire one of that
sort from the incorporate community out
side. Better meet an old COW robbed OF
her calf, than to meet some of these ours
who do the business of the monopolies and
.tig concerns.-C Chicago Journal

tsuard Against Vulgar Language.

There is as much connection between
the words and the, thoughts as there is
between the thoughts and the actions
Tie latter are not ouly the expressions Of
the former, but they have apower to react
upon the soul, and leave the stain of their
corruption there. A young man who al
lows himself to use one vulgar or profane
word has not only shown that there is a
foul spot upon his mind, but by the utter
siice Of that word he extends that spot and
infIames it till 10y indulgence it will po-
lutte and ruin the whole soul. Be as care
fui of your words as of your thoughts
II YOU can control the tongue that no i'm
proper words are pronounced by it. you
will soon be able, also, TO control the mind,
and save that from corruption. You ex-
tiuguish the fire by smothering it, or by
preventing bad thoughts from bursting out
INTO language. Never utter word any
where which you would be ashamed to
speak IN the presence of the most refined,
female, or the most religious man. Try
this practice a little while and YOU will
soon have command OF yourself.

Miss Anna Dickinson, being announced to
speak at Cooper institute, in New York, the
Tribune Of that city thus comments upon the
fact:
We are quite sure that she will speak of him
Mr. Lincolnl more kindly and justly than in her
last address In our city, wherein she raped him
quite smartly for his conference with stephens,
Hunter and Campbell in Hampton Roads. Miss
Dickinson will live to see It very generally agreed
we even hope to find her in the majority-that
Mr.. Lincoln's earnest anxiety to avoid the war IL
possible, and to end the % soon as possible,
were exemplifcatons of one OF the noblest traits
ofhis character.
1t was while he was exhibiting these no.
blest traits of his character that the demo-
cratic press most cordially sustained him and
defended him against the bitter assaults of
the newspapers Of his party. Had his earn
est anxiety to avoid the war been seconded
by members of his party who clamored fora
little blood-letting," one half of the Union
| would not to. day be desolate, nor would the
woes caused by the war now crush with their
weight the hearts of so many thousands oil
our people. There is in the extract a sting
ing rebuke not only to Miss Dickinson, but to
the vindictive fools of the administration par
| ty who sustained her in her assaults upon the
late president because they were moved by a
hatred of the south as cruel and unmanly al
| hers was impudent and unwomanly.

President johnson, in recent speech, to
an Indiana delegation of citizens, which
seems to have been prepared with care, said
eff rebellion has been rampant and set ASIDE
the machinery of state for the time, there STANDS
the great law to remove the paralysis and revival
ize and put it on its feet again. Upon this idea
Of destroying states my position has been hereto
fore well known, and hsye NO cause to change
il now, Some are satisfied with the idea that
states are to be lost in territories, and other dlvl-
sions are to lose character states, but their fe
breathe has only been suspended. 1t is our high
constitutional obligation to secure each OF these
states in possession and enjoyment ola republican
form of government state may be IN the gov.
eminent with peculiar institution, and by opera
ton of rebellion lose that feature, but 1t was a
state when it wont into rebellion, and when II
comes out without that institntion, 1t 10 still
state.
ssI hold il to be solemn obligation in any one
ofthese states where rebel armies have been beat
en- back or expelled, / care not how small the
number of Union men, it there are enough to man
the ship Of state, hold it, say, high duty 10
project and secure 10 them republican form Of
government"
This is as emphasioally the democratic
doctrine of reconstruction, as it is complete
and entire reputation of the radical doctrine
of state suicide. With this as his basis,
President Jahnson cannot 60 far wrong in
the details Of his work.

General Shermsn's pen is as sharp as his
sword. In the recent correspondence be-
tween him and General Halleck. the former
said:
s'Both you and Mr. Stanton sent me warning to
beware OF assassins. / did not then know that the
authors of the warning were themselves the assas-
sins had to fear.''
This playing the assassin with mems repu-
tstions is an old, and seems to be favorite
habit with Mr.. Stanton. When Mcclellan
was on the peninsula, Stanton denounced him
to members of congress as a traitor and unit
to command a regiment. and at the same time
wrote him letter protesting the warmest es
TEEN for him as man and general. While
he was bringing every influence he could
summon to bear on procuring Mcclellan .
dismissal from command, he was protesting
to him the warmest friendship. In the same
manner he has protested an ardent regard for
Sherman, until he found an opportunity in
which he thought he might safely stop him,
and then inflicted the blow.

The New York Tribune, commenting on
the fact that nearly all the most conspicu-
Gus and jealous abolitionists Of other days,
such as Wendall Phillips, Gerrit Smith, etc ;"
are now advocating the adoption of mag
unanimous policy in the treatment of the south,
says:
s'The abolitionists were thoroughly in earnest
Mistaken on some points, they may have been /;
that they exaggerated the wrong and evil of Anne
lean slavery is possible; that they were often dis
posed to overlook and overleap constitutional and
legal obstacles to the achievement of their darling
purpose is probable; but they were not, as a class
knaves, self seekers, or hypocrites. On the con-
trary, they clearly renounced ease, popularity
bition, and some easy ways to wealth, by avowing
themselves enemies of the slave power.''
The old abolitionists proper were in earn
est, and were as sincere In their convictions,
probably, as any men who ever mou nted a
political hobby horse. They were derided,
condemned, and not unfrequently mobbed Y ct
they were, despite such treatment, instant in
season and out of season in proclaiming that
the negro was a man and a brother. Still,
there was q good deal of malevolence mixed
up with their philanthropy, and not a little
OF self righteousness incorporated into their
christianity. If their attempts to exalt the
negro had not been accompanied by at
| tempts to degrade the southern white man,
we might have avoided the war which has
just closed. They were very disagreeable
men. There was q positiveness of right
about them, and capacity for blaokguard-
ism, which assumed that all men who did not
agree with them we're "minions of the slave
oligarchy," and proper subjects for castiga-
ton. On the the whole. however, they were
not bad men, although they did great deal
of mischief, not least of which was the con-
tempt they inculcated tor the constitution and
law, and which remains yet to plague the
country. The demagogues who have allied
themselves with the abolitionists proper since
1854 are altogether bad lot and it is not
surprising that the Tribune wishes to keen
the distinction clear between the simon pure;s
and shoddyites. 1t is not uncharitable in
styling the latter "knaves, self-seekers, hypo
critics."
