THE wISHING-GATE.
Twas on a clear, bright Autumn day,
That cousin John and I.

Twas on clear. bright Autumn day,
That cousin John and I.
Strolled in the little winding paths
That through the meadows lie;
And far above the wild birds broke the noun
tain's solemn hush,
And close beside, but out of sight, we heard
the river rush.
John was silent, and SO was I,
Never word we spake.
Till, with smile and half sigh,
He on the silence brake,
Saying "We're near the Wishing Gate,
and we must inger there;
For truth in this quaint fancy hides-a wish
may be prayer.
We stood there. cousin John and I,
Beneath the fading trees,
A sound of singing, sweet and fresh,
Came to us on the breeze;
Twas but some little children by the river
side at play,
But it seemed gate in heaven had closed
when it had passed away.
know what wish was in my heart,
(God only knows beside)
And what John thought l cannot tell :;
only know he sighed.
And then we turned away, and went upon
our quiet walk,
Speaking in solemn tones, like those who in
church-yard talk.
That's ten years since. Five years ago,
A good ship, home-ward bound,
Sank down with six hundred souls
In sight of English ground.
Johns chair stood ready at our hearth, his
room was decked with flowers;
Six hundred homes were desolate, and one
of them was ours.
And now to-day I stand alone
Beside the "Wish ng-Gate;''
The walk has tired me very much,
And it is growing late.
But this feel. that Death doth keep the
troth which Life might break
That many a hope which sleeps on earth in
heaven shall awake.

THE LECTURE ON "EURoPE," at the
Court House last night, by Col. J. l.. San
ford. was listend to by an audience nearly
filling the room, and ELECTED frequent ap.
plause. The Col. visited Europe the past
season, spending some two months i'm Wis
iting places of interest in England, France,
Belgium, Germany, Wales and Ireland.
He has a happy faculty of treating this, as
other subjects. We have seldom listened
to lecturer who could take you along
with him to London, Paris, and else " here,
and reproduce more vividly in the minds
OF his hearers, the impressions. derived
from Il rapid glance at the wonders OF
the old world. This lecture is not mere
description OF well known curiosities, but a
historical sketch intersperced with anec-
dotes and incidents instructive as well a. en-
tertaining. Weare greatly obliged to Col. s.
for this very interesting lecture and should
be glad to have it reproduced at some not
distant day. He informed us that it is his
purpose to visit Europe again the present
season.-Daily 2ith ult.

We wish also to call attention to the rare
excellence Of Charles Reade's story. "G;rif-

vivacity that rank it among the very best
serials of the day. It's satire is genial, and
it ispervaded by healthy tone of hopeful
ness and good will. ...s# a..

MISREPRESENTATION Mercury
accuses us of making wilfull misrepresen-
tations in our reply to its article entitled
'fhe Restoration of the Union.' 1t
says:
t The extraordinary amount OF ignorance
or wilfull misrepresentation contained in
the second paragraph of the Courie:'s lead
er, prompts US to ley it before our readers,
that they may know how much depend
ence can be PLACED in Journal which
make such reckless statements:
This is one of the class of Copperhead
papers that have always been harping
about the Constitution being dsregarded
and tampered with, and yet it advises the
/ taking of the power (placed there by the
Constitutioa) out of the hands of the peo-
pie and putting it in the hands ofthe Pres
ident, virtually making him Dictator.
1t then has the assurance to say that '.the
people will approve the act A few of
tho fire i'm the, rear Copperhead species
might, but not the great masses whose
friends and relations have been murdered
by those very men whose claims to seats
in Congress the Mercury is advocating"
And then adds:
1t seems scarcely necessary to say that
the Mercury does not advocate the claims
to seats of those who have been numbering
our friends and relations.
10 sustain our position, we will again
quote from the Mercury Of last week. 1t
says:
"lhe work OF restoration is not complete
nnttt Me representatives from the South are
admitted Us members cf the Federal Con-
gresS."
VINO are these representatives from the
South? We answer. They are in II large
measure Ex Vice Presidents, Ex Con-
gressmen, Ex Generals, of the late Confed-
eracy. These are .'the best Union rnen i'm
the country according to the Mercury
that are 4enied admission as members of
Congress, and these are the men we saw
| who have by their countenaisee, if not
deeds been numbering our friends and re-
lHtlons. 1t says that the charge of Cop
perhead comes with an i'll grace from US.
and that the writer of this article has per-
haps shown rs much devotion to the Un-
WI, 80 tiiS or the COur-
ier. We may be pardoned for being slight
ly personal, When we remind our negi,-
Dor ofthe scenes Of 1862, when the Govern
was in its greatest peril; when every man
was needed to beat back the waves of re-
bellion. Where then was the loyal edi-
tor? Did he heed the call Of his bleeding
country? Nothing then, would have
given us greater pleasure than to have
greeted him as "Comrade." We were
however denied that pleasure. Although
the long dreary year. of war, "Job work

The writer of this article is respectful
ly informed, as he should have known had
he taken a second thought, that his attack
on our Senior is unwarranted, he being
absent in Chicago at the time the article
was written, and he is further informed
that that article came from our uhe
Junior 81 pen; and that we were to be
found in the ranks of the Union army at
anytime from 81 to 10, and would have
