ROCK ME TO SLEEP.

Backward, turn backward, o Time, in your flight
Make me a child again just Tor to-nig
Mother come back from that echOless shore;
Take me again to your heart as Of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads. out OF my hair;
Over my sumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother rock me to sleep
Backward flow backward, O tide of the years;
I'm weary of toll, I'm weary of tears
Toll without recompense. tears all in vain
Take them and give me my childhood again!
| have grown wealy OF dust and decay
Weary OF f1inging my soul wealth away;
Weary OF sowing for others to reap
Rock me to sleep, m0ther-rock me to sleep.
Tired of the hollow, the base the untrue,
Mother, o mother, ,;my heart calls for you!
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded, our faces between;
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long to night for your presence again.
Come from the silence SO long and SO deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Over my heart in the days that are flown,
No love like mothers love ever was shonc;
No other worship abides and endures-
Faithful, and selfish, and patient like yours;
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and the world weary brain,
Slumber's soft calm DER my heavy lids Creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock. me to sleep.
Come let your brown hair, just lighedlwith gold
Fall on your shoulders again as of old;
Let il drop over my forehead to. night
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with its sunny ged shadows once more
Haply will throng the sweet visions Of yore-
Lovingly, softly. its bright billows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Mother. dear mother the years have been long
Since last listened to your lullaby song
Sing them and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhood's years have been only dream.
Claspcd to your heart in loving embrace.
With your bright lashes just sweeping my face
Never hereafter to wake or TO weep,
Rock me to sleep, mother rock me 10 sleep!

TALK.-On a certain occasion the counsel
in a case being tried before Lawrence
county (nd) Justice of the Peace, took
some exception to the railing Of the court
on particular point, and dispute arose.
"lf the court please" said the counsel, "I
wish to refer to this book a moment" and
at the same time picked up law volume.
"Tbere's no use of your referring to any
book" exclaimed the court angriIy; "Ive de-
cided the pint"
But, your honor persisted the attorney.
"Now, don't want to hear anything on
the subject" yelled the court; II tell you

For my own part, 1 feel that vastly more import
ance attaches to the coming elections, than to any
in the past. The Importance of administering
signal rebuke to the attempted usurpation of the
President as the controlling power in the combina-
ton alluded to, and sustaining the reconstruction
policy of Congress, cannot be overestmated.

CABINET REsIGNATIoN--Po Postmaste Gener-
al Dennison has rendered to the President
the resignation of his office This was done
in writing, July llth. The reason for this
course as stated by Mr.. Dennison himself,
is difference of political views 1t will be
recollected that he was the President Of the
Union Republican convention which re-nom-
mated Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency at
Baltimore, never intending otherwise than
to adhere to the party whose principles it
represented and as the call for the Phila-
delphia Convention is in antagonism to that
organization, there was no other course left
to him than to retire from the Cabinet
While his personal relations with the Pres
ident are undisturbed and friendly the sep
aration is entirely because of conflict of
political views.
The truth about the whole matter amounts
to about this that Mr. Dennson has no
idea of being transferred to the Copperhead
party by Mr.. President johnson, Mr.. Sew
ard or any other traitor to the party that
elected them.

ne A Kansas correspondent of the
Springfield Republican says that the sec
tion of the Pacific Railroad from Kansas
City to Lawrence is sham and a fraud
upon the public and the Government. 1t
is not half built, and upon SO low a grade
that every rain sweeps off its bridges and
disables it. 1t was evidently built to OBJ
tain the Government lands ostensibly to
aid in its construction, rather than for
public use and convenience. If it is con,
tinued in the same way across the plains,
it will benefit only the contractors So
far there has been fearful cheating in this
great national enterprise.

SS~ Gen. Geary, by reason of his SER
vices in the Army, was assigned a promi-

Philadelphia, on the 4th of July He was
every where received with the greatest
demonstrations of applause. The friends
of Mr.. Clymer think he was sighted in
not having been assigned to some conspic-
uous post. We cannot imagine why these
men should be put on the same
platform when the battle flags
were to be returned to the State for
preservation. Gen. Geary had followed
these flags in all the war, at every battle
field he was was identified with their
safety and glory and Mr. Clymer and
many of his friends were in no wise identi-

at the head of division only occupied
such position as his military rank and

The RANDAIL-JoHNsoN scheme for disrupt

aud responsibility. Thus far, the "circu-

asking for responses favorable to this raid
on the Republican qarty, have met with
the most decided negative replies. The
only Republicans who approve are those
who are in office. Not single favorable
response has been received from Republic
can out of office. The same is the recep-
tion given to this call in other States.
Pennsylvania repudiates the movement.
