A LEAF FROM LIFE.


lent my love book one day;
She brought 1t back; l laid il by.
Twas little either had to say
She was SO strange, and l so shy.
Butyet we loved Indifferent things
Ine sprouttng buds, the birds in tune;
ana Time stood stin and wreathed his wings
With rosy links from June to June.
For her, what task to dare or do?
What peril tempt? what hardship bear?
But with her-ah she never knew,
My heart, and what was hidden there!
And she with me so cold and coy,
Seem'd like maid bereft of sense;
But In the crowd all life and Joy
And full of blushful impudence.
She married !-well-a woman needs
A mate, her life and lOvet to share
ana little cares sprung up like weeds,
And play'd around her elbow chair.
And years rOlTd by-but 1, content,
Trimmed my own lamp, and kept 1t bright
Till ages touch my hair besprent
With rays and CLEANS of silver light.
And then, 1t chanced, I took the book
Which she perused in days gone by;
And as 1 read such passion shook
My soul-I needs must curse or cry.
For here and there her love wasw writ
In old, half-faded pencil signs,
AS If she yielded-bit by bit
Her heart III dots and underlineS.
All! silvered fool!- late you look!
Iknow 1t; let me here record
This maxim: LEND no GIRL. HOOK

w. 81. Hurlburt, the leading editorial
writer of the New York World, the
great Democratic " organ of the coun-
try, was in Toronto the other day, and
at a public banquet made speech in
which hesaid:
"THE PAGANs OF IRELAND, and not
the intelligent mass of the Americans,
are the people 'oho believe that England
OppreSSes ireland. The United States
will not be bullied into helping the Fe-
mans. No power on earth can do that. {"
The impudent snob who said that,
says the Rochester Express, went South
at the beginning ofthe rebellion TO offer
his services to the Confederate Govern
ment. He would doubtless just as
readily betray his country to England
for small consideration. A verv
small temptation would be sufficient
to command his services. Even a
pair of pantaloons would he enough.

The Hon. E. B. Washburne, in Illi-
nois, having been invited to meet his
Johnsonite competitor, Mr.. Thomas J.
Turner, in public discussion, opens
battle at once with bomb-shell. Mr..
Turner advises his opponent that he has
been nominated by ga National Union
Convention," whereupon Mr.: Wash
burne exacts the following capital test {:
"Before accepting your invitation, 1
wish to know from you what Congress
you are a candidate for? If you are n
candidate for the Congress to be COM
posed of Northern copperheads and
Southern rebels, which it is semi Off
cially proclaimed that President john
son rs to recognize, to the exclusion of
United States, then I desire to say that
am not candidate for any such Con-
gress, and that do not propose enter
ing into a canvass for any office
for which / am not n candidates.
"If, on the. other hand, you will GER
tify to tho people of this district that
you are n candidate for the legal and
Constitutional Congress of the United
States and for member of that House
of Representatives for the FOrtieth
Congress Which shall be called to order,
according to the established precedent,
by the Clerk of tho Present House, and
to which no member shall be admitted
without taking the tiron-clad OATH OF
loyalty, and that you will repudiate the
illegal and revolutionary Congress
which President johnson proposes to
recognize, then have to state will nc
cept your invitation with great pleas
urC."
Mr.. Washburne's test might be gen
orally applied throughout the canvass:
Tho people will not fail to see, either by
the silence or open commission of the
Presidents friends, how far they APP
prove his programme of usurpation as
officially threatened and foreshadowed.

THE editor of tho Charlottesville,
V".' Chronicle has recently enjoyed the
high privilege of visiting an animal
show. IL was long time since such
an institution had visited that place,
and he appears to have been so much
wrought upon, that in writing about it
he drops the editorial tive" and dis
courses as follows:
al saw a tiger in Dan Castello's show
exactly, like Thad. Stevens, hyena
that might have been begotten by Old
Butler, a buzzard the very image OF
Judge Underwood, a beautiful serpent
which 1 named Greeley lion that
looked like General Lee, an eagle that
looked like General Jackson, bear
that looked like Gen. Grant, a jacknl
that looked like Forney, apeacock that
looked like n woman of fashion, II
jackass that reminded me of the North
ern Democracy, and an owl that re-
minded me of my own profession"

General james S. Brisbin, in his tes-
timony before the Reconstruction Com
mittee, said in relation to the rebel
States:
Until they send loyal men to repre-
sent them they have, I think, no bust
ness with representatives in Congress.
bear no malice, but 1 cannot as vet
forget four years of war, and toll, and
danger. When I recollect that tho
graves of my soldiers who fell in battle
for the country are not yet green, can
not forget and forgive the acts of rebels
who tell me they have no regret for
the past, and that their unhOly rebel
lion. that robbed these men of life, was
right.
Governor Fairchild, of Wisconsin,
was one of the bravest heroes or the
war against the rebellion. A gentle
man who was introduced to him the
other day, observed, as he took his left
hand, TINT he had lost his right arm.
"Hes, said the Governor in reply. ~
attended convention ut Gettysburg in
1868, and met II Southern delegate WIIo
was very anxious to walk arm-in-nrm
with me, and when we separated
found that the embrace had been rather
costly" The remark was quietly made
put suggested world of valuable re-.

The Great Demonstration that Begins
To-day up at Pittsburgh.
From Mc Commercial Of yesterday.

The Egreat Convention of Soldiers

OF its details we need say nothing, for
our readers are familiar with them.
From present indications we are safe in
saying that no assemblage of such great
numbers has ever been held in our
State.
the "Boys in Blue" and citizens in hon
or of the Convention will take place.
1t was originally designed that that or
ganization only would participate in it,
but as our citizens generally expressed
desire to participate in it, an invita-
ton was extended to all classes, trades,
societies, ETC., and an imposing demon
stration may be expected. The people
residing and doing business along the
route of the procession are making ex
tensive preparations for illumination,
tho display of flags, tr0nsparencies,
and the erection of triumphal arches.
If the matter has been overlooked by
any, they should attend to it without
delay. The indications are that the il
Illumination will be general along the
entire route, and tho omission to make
display on the part of any of our
friends might lead to regrets.

THE Democrats are figuring glory out
of the Vermont and Maine elections.
1t is rather hard shedding, but by drop
ping cypher here, changing twO into
one, and making few mistakes in
the adding, they bring their readers
gracefully to the conclusion that after
all it was not much of defeat; Mt least
that ii would have been very different
if the votes had come in differently.

IT would appear from the following
sentence which we find in Gov. Orr's
late message to the Legislature of South
Carolina, that the Freedmen's Bureau
is not simply negro "poor-house" in
that part of the world:
"The embarrassment of supplying
food for the needy will be greatly in
creased after the first of October, when
the Freedmen's Bureau will cease to
issue rations for the INDECENT and help
less whites 'and freedmen who have
been heretofore furnished with subsis-
tence."
Will the conservative gentlemen no.
tice the appearance of the words ''help-
less whites" in this passage.
