THE PAST.


Since last we met long years have flown,
Long years of sorrow, joy and pain
That prattling boy to man has grown,
But still he is boy again.
For when the Past awakes to life,
And breathes again its sunny hours,
We cast aside the present strife
And live mid joys that once were ours.
Oh boyhood's years, why hast thou fed,
And left me saddened and alone,
Like one who mourns the absent dead.
Who once around her hearth had shone
Alas each coming of the day
But bears thee farther from my sight,
And still l watch the hours decay
Until they're lost in years of night
Oh Time; stay thy uplifted hand
Deal gently with thy willing slaves
Oh death, seek not our little band
For victims for your gaping grave
Let hearts that loved in youthful day
Live still when age is round them cast;
To sing again their boyish lays,
And count the pleasures of the past.

HYMN.
BY WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.

O far beyond these cloudy bars
There is the sacred light of stars:
They shine for us-but when shall we
Bask in their bright eternity?
We feel these bars, these cloudy bars
That veil from us the sacred stars
Creations Spirit can'st not thou
For us, poor us, unveil thy brow9
0 God tbs not for us to know
Thy wondrous works here shown below,
Yet thy weak servants ask that thou
Would here on earth unveil thy brow.
We ask l-yet still the cloudy bars
Drink up that sacred light of stars
All, when, ah, when, ah, when shall we
Know their own clear eternity2

FIFTY YEARS IN AN IRON CAGE-There ia
now living at Buckand, Mass, a maniac
named Josiah Spaulding, who has been
confined in an iron cage for over fifty wears,
and for more than thirty years has not
stood erect, till he has become so deformed
that it is impossible to straighten his limbs
by manual force. He refuses to be clothed,
and will not suffer anything to remain on
him, and is only kept warm in winter by
warming the room in which his cage is
placed. His human nature seems to have
totally deserted him; he is only being of
senseless existence. His father, Rev. Jo-
siah Spaulding, was the first minister that
settled at Rockland, and this, his only son,
was the only survivor Of q premature tri-
plet birth. During his boyhood and youth,
he was indulged to the fullest extent, and
though an extremely dull and backward
scholar, finally applied for admission to
William College, after the continued efforts
and persuasions of his parents and teach
ers. He was unsuccessful in this applica-
tion. and commenced q District school.
which the symptoms of insanity compelled
him to give up. His madness manifested
itself in attempting to murder his father
and mother, and he was chained, for the
safety of his family. After months of rub
bing the links of his fctters against each
other, he succeeded in freeing himself
when his first act was to attempt to mur-
der his sister. Since then, he has inhabited
the cage in which he is now kept, and his
insanity has been growing more and more
hopeless, until it is now utterly incnrable.

cause, the one thing needful and indispen-
sable is HosrETTER's CELEBRATED STOMACH

absolutely dying out in the system, and the

mighty restorative seems. as it were, to
lift the sufferer out of the slough Of de-
spond, and recruit and reinvigorate both
the frame and the intellect. An old farmer
in the Valley of the Monongahela writes
thus to DR.. Hostettcr: ''I can compare the
operation of your Btters upon mo to no
thing but the effect of IL rain after long
dry spell in the fall Of the year. Tho rain

of life and spirits in me. And this Is
truly the effect of this grateful and power

NAPoLEoN's IDEA OF LIBERTY. Re
feYing to recent address by Persig-
ny, in which Napoleon was sketched
as the liking of the people" the Sun
remarks that the EMISSION" of the
'Man of Destiny" has been such a
myth to the political student forsome
years back, that we are glad to have
some insight into what it really con
sists of. NJ. de }. Persigpy states it to
be the spread of liberty. Civil liber-
ty, according to Webster, is the iber-
ty of men in IL state of society, or
natural liberty, so far only abridged
and restrained as is necessary and
expedient for the safety OF the in
terest of the society. state or nation
but according to Napoleon, as ex-
pounded by the Due de Persigny,
liberty consists in freedom OF ac-
ton and thought allowed to a people,
only so far as it chimes with the will
OF their ruler. In France, this may
be correct view to take of the vola-
tile character of the French nation,
hut it conveys no better idea of real
liberty, considered with reference to
the world in general, than to hold up
the journals of France as fair samples
of the liberty of the press.

A CritiCiSlnl.

The following keen, but merited,
criticism on that pretentious literary
New York weekly, the Round 7a6le,
is from the Richmond Times
A small cote,-ie Of clever and sharp
witted Bohemians started, some years
ago, weekly literary journal in New
York, which gives promise of much
greater longevity than any of the
host Of feeble limitations of Punch
which have tizzled out in Gotham
like damp pop-crackers. 1t is called
the Rouad 7dble-not that its knights
resemble the stalwart companions of
King Arthur, but from the fact that
the small round table of the cheap
eating g-houses is the. place where the
New York Bohemians, under the in
spiration of beer, achieve their most
brilliant literary triumphs. The
Round Idble is q pinch-beck imitation
Of the SATURDAY Rerie,r, Pal Mall
GazeHe and the Cornhill you1nal, and
claims to be the most aristocratic of
American journals. Tt pretends to
most intimate acquaintance with the
secrets Of the fashionable world of
New York, and it seems to have the
run of the servants halls of Madison
Square and Fifth Avenue. Its init
macy with the mysteries of the fe-
male toilet is quite astonishing, and
its revelations respecting the habits
of the ladies of the higher circles of
New York are worthy of Ned Bunt-
line.
The knights OF this Roumi IuJle
are perpetually tilting at red silk cor
sets: tilting skirts, and never wearies
of the assertion that smoking and
drinking are the indispensable accom-
plishments of the female portion Of
the most refined society OF Gotham.
The leading editorial of this large,
handsome aud clever paper is devoted
to "Tilting Skirts, an article of fc-
male apparel in great demand with
the ladies Of New York who have
pretty feet and ankles, but held in
great aversion by those who are not
blessed in that particular.
The Round 7a5ie asserts that grave
judges, solemn doctors of divinity,
sedatc physicians and care-worn
''bulls' and bears from Wall street

The RADICAL .REvoLUrloSARY
PARTY. Under the head of ''Im-
parchment Next" the New York Sun
says of the radicals:
AT first, they only required the
preservation of the Union. the. they
demanded freedom for the slaves;
then they wanted certain guarantees
for the protection OF the freedmen,
and SO on until they reached the pre-
sent point, when they require the
South to confer the suffrage privilege
npon the freedmen. 1t is somewhat
doubtful what position they will next
assume, but we shall not be greatly
surprised to find them following the
leadership OF Wendell Phillips, in
demanding the impeachment OF Pre-
sident johnson. Phillips is the real
leader of the radical party, although
he is usually few months in advance
of the main body He was the first
10 2:y out for emancipation; he was
the first to demand suffrage for the
free lman, and now he is the first to
declare i'll favor Of impeaching the
President.
Does any one suppose that the
radicals would be content, even if
the constitutional amendment were
adopted by every Southern State? Is
it supposed by any one that they
would then be willing to accord rep
resentation to the Southern States?
No; the party is necessarily aggres-
sive. 1t must go on from one degree
Of radicalism to another, until it is
stopped in its course, and then its
end will come. The conservative
people of the country should ponder
over and reflect upon this subject
now, for radicalism, like Il plant,
must either grow and strengthen or
wither and decay, and if the people
desire to check it before great mis-
chief be done, they have now no
time TO lose"

The RADICAL PARry.-The New
York E'ee,1i0g Post is a Republican
papar-a leading Republican paper
and is so recognized throughout the
country The Post recently favored
its readers with this paragraph:
.'With a laundering and chaotic
policy, such as that imposed upon it
by Messrs. Morrill,, Stevens, Sumner
and the Trib,me-a policy which
seeks to do everything through the
Government, and leave nothing to
private ingenuity, wisdom and effort;
which declares the President to be q
traitor, and III the same breath quad
ruples his powers; which declares he
contemplates usurpation, and insists
on Il course which alone makes such
crimes legal-with such policy the
Republican party cannot live, and
ought not to live. Its success would
be a calamity to the country"

NATIONAL EMPRESS COMPANY. The
Richmond Times, alluding to the re-
cent assignment of all the property,
rights and credits of the National
Express Company, made for the bene-
fit of its creditors, says:
Owing to financial embarrass-
ments and complication, this was de-
cidca on, under advice OF counsel, as
the course best adapted to the state

OF the Company are estimated from
$50, 1000 to 5000, 900, which, with the
five per cent. on the last call, if fully

ANOTHER EARrHoUAKE-We have
the pleasure Of recording another
'Searthqualle' in the far West. An
election took place in Montana Ter
ritory, on the 4th instant, and the
Democrat ticket was carried over the
radicals by majority of 1000.
Thus it is throughout the West.
Kentucky gave nearly 10000 against
the radicals. Idaho elected an almost
unanimous Democratic Legislature.
California made clean sweep, except
in San Francisco The Middle States
are naturally conservative, and they
will follow Kentucky and California
in giving unprecedented majorities
against radicalism.
