If You Should e'er Get Married,

If you should e'er get married, John,

Go get q little tenement,
Just big enough for two
And one spare room for company,
And one spare bed within it,
And II you'd begin loves life Alright,
You'd better thus begin 1t.
in furniture be moderate, John,
And let the stuffed chairs wait
One looking glass will do for both
Yourself and loving mate
And Brussels, too, and other things
Which make a fine appearance,
If you can better afford it, they
will better look q year hence.
Some think they must have pictures, John,
Superb and costly, too,
Yoar wife will te picture, John,
Let that suffice tor you.
Kemember how tho wise man said.
A tent with love within it,
Is better than splendid house
With chickering's every minute.
And one word as to cooking. John,
Your wife can do that best,
For love to make tho biscuit rise,
IL better far than yeast.
No matter if each day you don't
BRING turkey TO your table,
Twill better relish bye and bye,
Whom you are better able.
For all you buy pay money, John,
Money that every day
II you would have your life run smooth,
There is no better way,
A note to pay is an ugly thing.
(Gfa thing you choose to call it,
When it hangs Ger man who has
No money in his wallet.
And now when you are married, John,
Don't try to ape the rich /;
1t took them many toilsome year
To gain their euvied niche.
And ii you gain the summit, John.
Look we'll to your beginning,
And then will all you win repay
The care and toll Of winning.

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

President JOHNSON and family-a part
of his Cabinet-General GRANT, AMI Ad-
miral FARRAaUT, started last week on a
grand tour to the Northwest. The Presi-
dent had some time ago accepted an invita-.
ton to be present, at the inaugural ceremo-
MES, attending the laying of the corner
stone, of the DOUGLASS monument at
Chicago, and that city will be the principal
recipient of his visit. This tour possesses
more significance than any mere ordinary
occasion. The coming elections in the
Northwest, will no doubt be favorably in.
auenced by the presence there Of the Head
of the Nation, and the cortege of civil,
military and naval celebreties accompanying
him. That influence has no doubt been
accurately calculated, and the visit so ar.
ranged, as to secure the fullest amount Of
success.
There has been everywhere along the
route thus far-except at Philadelphia
tumultious demonstrations of confidence,
respect and applause. Throug b Maryland
and Delaware, the people gathered every
where along the rail roads to catch a glimpse
of tie President, and delegations from
every corporation waited upon him to ten
der the hospitalities due.
The grandest demonstration of all
probably the grandest ever offered in this
country to any one man-was given by
New York City. The military and civil
recepsion-the banquet, and the order, and
expensiveness of the ceremonies are de-
scribed as wonderful even for New York.
All this is cheering. Respect for the man
indicates respect for his principles; and
the enthusiasm awakened by this visit, is q
good index to the peoples votes.

THE NEWS.

There is an entire stagnation in the polit.
cal news market. The two great parties,
Conservative Union, and Republican, are
struggling in desperate contest for su-
premacy in the fall elections; and party
tacticians were never more busy in maneu.
vring their respective political campaigns
than at this time. Pennsylvania and the
Northwestern States will be the battle
ground upon which the issues are to be
decided The Republicans are in strong
force in both localities-of immense politi-
cal power, and their defeat, if effected,
will require more than an ordinary effort
The grasp of the party in power, will be
difficult to loosen, although the public
sympathy may be in favor of the Conser-
vstiges. --. --....
In Missouri the struggle promises to be
an unusually fierce one. The State test
oath will exclude large number of voters
from the polls, and the fight will be waged
between the johnson Republicans and the
Radicals. Military aid, to enforce order
and secure justice, has already been applied
for, and from present indications will no
doubt be needed ., -.--. .a. n--. %
As these elections are in all probability
to decide whether we of the South are q
people or not, we naturally look to the re-
suit with more than ordinary interest. In
another column will be found interesting
information on this subject

the President and Gen. Grant took boat
at Manhattanville for Albany.
ALBANY, N. Y, August S1.-The Pres.
ident arrived last evening, and was vel.
coined to the Capital of the State BY Gov.
Fenton. The President made no lengthy
reply, but merely returned his thanks, and
accepted as the Chief Magistrate of the
country the hospitalities of the State. The
President and party were then escorted to
the Executive Chamber, where the Cover.
nor introduced the President to Senators Of
the State, and to the Lieut.. Governor. Gen.
Grant, Admiral Frragut, Secretary Welles
and other were subsequently introduced.
There were demonstrations of respect paid
to the President at Poughkeepsie, West

story houses under contract, which are in
tended for Dry Goods and Grocery Stores.
On some, the finishing touch is already
being applied; and the others will be ready
to open for the fall trade. Five of these
large buildings are on Russell street, and
one on Market street; all lying around or
in close proximity to the Court House
