The lady who affects the lip ring considers

THE ORPHANS PRAYER.

Under the shade of the old locust tree,
Mother, dear mother, I'm thinking Of thee,
Thinking how weary nv young life has grown
Since thou hast left me alone-all alone!
Mother the moonlight shines cold on thy child
Dark sad, and lonely. her heart groweth wild.
Take, then, this prayer for me
Bear it above:
Some one to care for me,
Some one to love!
Mother, the Father will harken to thee
Bear my petition up to Him for me
Love will not bring its sweet balm to my breast
Sleep will not bring to my pillow its rest;
Home spreads no wing Der my sheiterless head
Heqrts throb not for me--my mother IS dead!
Take this wild prayer for me
Breathe it above:
"Some one to care for me
Some one to love J"
All the bright jewels the earth ever bore
Diamonds and pearls. and the rich golden orc,
Never such joy my spirit could shed
As thy soft, loving hand laid on my head.
One gentle tone of Affections dear voice,
Even in memory, makes me rejoice.
Take this one prayer for me,
Breathe it above:
"Some one to care for me,
Some one to lovel'
Mother my kinsmen icy and cold;
Never an arm round your child do they fold.
What is their bread and seat by their fire,
When kind, loving words is my hearts sole de-
sire?
OF is there none in wide world like this
Waiting to give the poor orphan kissP
Take up this prayer for me
Breathe it above
"Some one to care for me.
Some one to love!''
Often linger beside the sweet stream,
Dreaming it loves me-alas but dream.
On it gees gurgliDg-rippling away;
Never word to my heart will it say.
Others may sing it happier song,
Still it would simmer and ripple along
Mother, this prayer for me
Offer above:
"Some to care for me,
Some one to love
Then the dear flowers they give me their bloom--
Rose-hue and lilac, with fragrant perfume
Yet they ars free to the next one that comes
West wind that tickle or wild bee that huns.
So with all Nature still am alone,
None in the wide world to love me-not one
Take, then, this prayer for me-
Breathe it above:
"Some to care for me,
Some one to love!'
Mother, this world is wilderness drear;
Why should linger desolate here!
Whv did my father not call me up, toof
Up where the angles singing for you
Up where Hopes rainbow its bright arch hath
wove,
And every pure word is the breathing oflove.
Take this wild prayer for me-
Breathe il above:
"Some one to care for me,
Some TO love"

disturbances occurred with lamcntable re-
suits. Pistol shots were fired. by which
one man was wounded in the eye and an
other in the knee. A marshal on horseback
was seen riding along the line of march,
evidently giving directions, as the men soon
thereafter stretched out their ranks. Per-
sons were observed clubbing down several
of the transparences, one OF which bore Il
inscription, Welcome, the presi-
dent" The holder of this transparency
was thrown down and shot fired at him.
n friend came to his relief and fired at the
assailant. AT least dozen or more shots
followed in quick succession and one man
was shot in the heart. The president re-
ceived few friends and retired TO bed at
an early hour. The crowd finally dispersed
from before the hotel ut about 10 O'Clock, at
which hour the city was quiet.

Gen. Rinrd's RCpOrt.

Gen. Bard has made his report respect
ing the mob and massacre OF July Both. at
New Orleans, La. 1t Is published in full
in the New York Tribune of Sept. 1lth
The Tribune says of it.-Gen. Biard's Off
cal report fixes upon the Rebel authorities
the responsibility Of the crime with double
force. 1t is the impartial opinion of a man
who, 50 far from siding with the Conven-
ton, believed that it had no right TO remod-
el the State Government.
The report convcts Lieut.. Gov. Voor-
hees and Mayor Monroe of falsehood, and
all the apologists for the riots-iiom The
n Y. Times down 10 the President-of
what may be called, to speak mildly, as
tonshing crcdulity. Gen. Baird has shown
that he could obtain no instructions from
Washington, and no replies to his kilograms,
while the Rebel authorities had frequent
telegrauhc communication with the Presi-
dent The Rebel authorities, since the mas
sacre, have claimed that they were refused
military assistance to quell the riot, but
Gen. Baird proves that they asked il solely
the help the police in breaking up the Con-
vcnton. and that upon his refusal. Mayor
Monroe desired that the troops should be
kept out Of the way. Up to the morning Of
the massacre they affected to believe that
no disturbance would occur, and deliberate
" deceived Gen. Baird in regard to what
they intended to do. He emphatically de-
clares that the police force was strong
enough to have held both the parties in the
streets in subsection, and that "there 'cas no
hour during The continuance Of the riot, when
perfect order could not hare been restored
By a command to The police, from lis chief, to
PIT up their pistols" The troops, he adds,
had they been on the spot, could have OPP
Grated only against the organized rioters of
the police.
All of these points, and others Of no less
importance the reader can substantiate by
the report, and we ask that with this plain
record of Rebel crime be compared An
drew Johnson's denunciation of the Conven-
ton as the cause Of the massacre. His
speech at ST. Louis shows how boldly even
a President can defy the truth when it is
arrayed against his political ambition.
