This always spicy, and now enlarged pa

on all sides, as the following will show:
A correspondent who is under the mista-
ken impression that we arc opposed to the
" Freedmen" suggests that now President
Johnson has smashed the ebony bureau he
had better look out for some new secreta-
ries, and procure for himself an Old Hick-
DRY cabinet. The same correspondent
thinks it funny to describe certain Scna-
tor from Ohio as .sBcn Wade, and found
wanting"
One Of our Washington correspondents
writes US that President johnson has i'm
proved on the well-known maxim Of Polo
nius so as to make it read: -" Costly thy
Raymond as thy purse can buy
Since Boston is recognized as the Club
of the Universe" it is proposed by the Fee
mans that New York take the position Of
i" Head Centre"
If it doesn't expose US to the charge Of
partisanship again, We beg to suggest
that, because Thad. Davis happens to
have '.lost his head" it by no means fol-
lows that President johnson should lose
is.
An exchange suggests tnSL the women
who have recently been shipped to the Far
West, should found new city there and call
it "She-cargo."
How can q man be accused of taking
sides in politics." unless he takes both
sides? And then again, how can he take
one slice without being singular!

THE LITTLE GIRLS SCHOOL.

Little girl, where do you 50 to schools
And when do you go little girl!

Yon and the eat jump here and there,
You and the robins sing
But what do you know Of the spelling bocki
Have you never learned any thinSr'
Thus the little girl answered,
Only stopping to cling

As u bird on the wing
Catches twing Of sumac,
And stops to twitter and sing.
"when the daisies eyes are twinkle
With happy tears Of dew,
when swallows wxken In the eav,s,

When lawns are golden barred,
And the kiss Of the wind is cool
When morning's b. cath blows out the stars,
Then do l 60 to schooli

were married but not mated to the respect

Barnes was the name Of him, and hers was
Mrs. Longland. just as they made this as
tonishing discovery, they cast their eyes
upon each other. Filled with hopes Of q
distant Eden, where household cares cease
to bother and children never yell, they fed
together leaving their earthly responsible
ties. They stood not upon the order Of
their going, but went at once. Last &C

plausible and popular conjecture was, that
his visit had brought to Mrs Durham's ear
some bygone fault or folly Of her husbands,
which she could not be persuaded to view
with Performances; and that anger at her
firmneas, and dread of disgrace, had prompt-
ed Nicholas to the fearful revenge against
her. and subsequent outrage on himself.
OF course, every possible conjecture was
exhausted.
Was there ground for believing the murd-
crer insane?
As far as could be gathered, none.
The closest scrutiny into his earlier days
revealed nothing eccentric, nothing which
was other than fair, and crcditable, and Of
good report. His father, who was still liv-

Baden, had never borne very good name j;
but neither in youth nor in manhood had he
been much in company with his father.

Miss Durham, from a sense rs much Of

Of the recent revival Of Glucks celebrated
opera, "Iphigenia in Tauris = Its perform
ance was. indeed, great treat to persons
whose musical taste has been cultivated by
the study of the great classical masters: but
the generality of the audience were but little
excited by it. The applause bestowed even
on the finest passages, with few exceptions,
was cold and feeble, and seemed rathera con-
veutional tribute to the merit OF several Ia
vorite performers than an expression of plea
sure and admiration. Even Tiuens herself,
grand and beautiful as she was, failed TO ex-
cite the customary enthusiasm and Santley
and Gardon, in any OF their great characters,
never received SO niggardly need of ap-
pause.
