.,r~ryTIIY DEDICATED TO MR. AND MRS. II. sWE
We've laid in quiet, dreamless rest,
Beneath coverlet of turf
o,r loved, with others loved and blest,
To sleep the sleep of all the earth
Sba sleeps. alas so sweetly calm,
Nor stormy sobs nor wailing sighs,
y,r tears like rain nor vague alarms,
That sway our breasts bid her arise.
Pure as q lily and as fair,
Her waking dreams through happy hours,
Caught color from the roseate air
And bloSsomed with the opening flowers
Expanding in their fragrant way,
Her un-kissed heart as sweetly gave
It's riches forth from day to day,
As dews refresh the blooms they lave.
And thus her life perfectedsgrew,
But blossoms droop when sunlight dies,
And float on wings of odor through
The heayen-illumined, azure skies;
And oh! our fowret and cur bird,
Airiglrted at the coming night,
With music in each farewell word,
For loylier summers plumed her flight.
Beyond all fear of blight or chill
She dwelleth now among the blest,
And sweeps an angels harp of gold.
Or pauses in ecstatic rest;
Look down, dear one, from highest skies,
Drop in our hearts some look or smile,
That we, by faith, may surely rise
To meet thee yet little while.

aim was unerring. AT this battle, about
twelve hundred and fifty men, under com
mand of Gen. Geary, were attacked from an
eminence, by five thousand of the enemy,
at twelve o'clock at night. The unequal
fight was gallantly accepted, and though
the command was at first thrown into some
disorder, they speedily rallied, and not only
repulsed, but drove from the field the vast
ly superior numbers of the enemy. In the
hottest of the fight, in the act of sighting
his gun, his forehead pierced with bullet,
young Geary fell, and instantly expired.
His father coming to the spot, clasped in
an agonizing embrace the lifeless form of
his boy--then, mounting his horse, dashed
wildly into the thickest ranks of the foe,
and rode like an avenging spirit over that
bloody field, until the enemy were utterly
routed and put to flight" This General
Hooker pronounces the most gallant and
successful charge that has come to his
knowledge during the war.
In his official report of this battle, Gen.
Hooker says, During these operations, a
heavy musketry fire, with rapid discharges
of artillery, continued to reach us from
Geary 1t was evident that formidable
adversary had gathered round him, and
that he was batting him with all his
might For almost three hours, without
assistance, he repelled the repeated attacks
of vastly superior numbers, and, in the end
drove them ingloriously from the field. At
one time they had enveloped him on three
sides, under circumstances that would have
dismayed any officer except one endowed
with an iron will and the most exalted
courage Such is the character of General
Geary.

A LESSON FOR FAST YOU'VE MEN-A few
days ago, man named DR.. Johu w Hughes,
was hanged at Cleveland, Ohio, whose fate
teaches salutary lesson. He was a man
of good family, well educated had an homo
rable profession, and at one time, good
social position But he seems to have ruin
ed himself by liquor and bad company
Under these influences he became thorough
ly demoralized and scoffed at morals and
religion. He was held by no conscience
whatever. Having good young wife and
child, he married another woman almost in
presence of his family, she however being
ignorant of his first marriage. For this
crime he was tried, convicted and sent to
our Western Penitentary at Pittsburg.-
His injured wife procured him pardon for
this, but instead Of being grateful to her,
he abused her in the most false and heart
less manner, and went off to seek the wo-
man he had injured. Having found her. he
deliberately shot her through the heart be-
cause she refused to live with him. For
this he was tried and hanged. On the scat
fold he alluded to his advantages in life,
his education, the wealth and position OF
his family but all these, he said, he had al
lowed to be overcome by drink and bad
company. It was not he that did the crime,
so he said, but the man who had been turn
ed into a devil by intoxication. What a
lesson

VENERABLE RELIC OF REVOLUTIONARY
TMEs-One of the oldest men of Western
New York resides at Suspension Bridge,
Niagara county. We refer to the vener-
able father of Frankling Spaulding, Esq,
Collector Of Customs at the bridge. Mr.
Spaulding the elder is now ninety four
years of age; and is native of Windham
county, Connecticut He came to Lewiston
in 1910, and is identified with the history
of our river frontier since that time. This
hale and still vigorous old gentlemen pos
sesses stamina sufficient to carry him to
the end of century of life he reads with
great enjoyment the current news of the
day, and converses without showing any
diminution of his powers except an inabili-
ty to remember names Of persons. He
recollects Washington, whom he has seen
Lafayette, Putnam, and other eminent
revolutionary heroes, and dwells with great
JUNCTION on the days of the War of Indepen-
dence. Mr.. Spaulding says that he saw his
friends and neighbors Fastening to Con-
cord the day before the battle, and speaks
of the news of the battle of Bunker Hill as
it went sounding through the land, stirring
mems souls to their lowest depths.
His long life bridges the space of time
between the last days of Colonial history
and the suppression of the great Ameri-
can rebellion. AS a child he listened to
the stories of the old French wars, and he
has read the daily record of the battles
which the Republic waged for its existence
against the foulest treason of which his
tory makes mention.
We commend to the Historical Society
the preservation of these "reminiscences,
and hope that some friendly hand will pre-
serve them for the future use of history

IF anything in the world will make a
man feel badly, except pinching his fingers
in the crack of a door, it is, s,unquestionably,
quarrel No man ever fails to think less
of himself after it than before 1t degra-
des him in the eyes of other, and what is
worse, blunts his sensibilities on the one
hand, and increases the power of passion
ate irritability on the other. The truth is,
the more peaceably and quietly we get on,
the better for our neighbors. In nine cases
out of ten, the better course is, if man
cheats you, quit dealing with him if he is
abusive, quit his company and if he Sian
ders you, take care to live so that nobody
will believe him. No matter who he is, or
how he misuses you, the wisest way is to
let him alone for there is nothing better
than this cool, calm, and quiet way of deal
ing with the wrongs we meet with.

A YOUNG man in England having enter
tanned tender passion for a young woman,
felt such insurmountable diffidence as to
prevent his ever disclosing the same to the
fair empress of his heart, and resolved on
an expedition which would bring the busi-
ness to an issue. He went to the clergy
man and requested the bans of marriage
might be published according to law. When
the publication was brought to her ears,
she was filled with astonishment, and went
to him to vent her resentment he bore the
sally with fortitude observing if she did no:
see proper to have him, she could go to the
clergyman and forbid the banes. After a
moments pause she took wit in her anger
and said, "As it has been done it is great
pity that the shilling should be Nroaon apay.'

One Ofthe most hopeful and significant
signs of the times is the fact that the Radi-
Gals did not dare TO go into the approach
ing fall elections with such a monster of
inquity as the proposed tariff recently
passed by the House of Congress. The
Senate made short work of It, by postpon-
ing It until. the first Monday in December
and they did so, not that the bill was OBJ
noIioas to their party and its sectional in-
terests but 1t was heaped mp with such
monstrous combinations Of wholesale
plunder that they shrunk from going be-
fore the people at the next election with
such an insupportable weight on their
backs.

Secretary stanton. i.

The New York Herald, which declares it
has given STANTON the best of advice, and
which, had he followed, would have kept
him ont of his present difficulties, thus
speaks of him:
Ale has probably done more wrong, vio-
lent and despotic deeds than any other
American official, and all these things are
coming home to him at present, like the
Arabs curses. We therefore advise him TO
consult prudence, maintain his personal
dignity, and save appearances by prompt
resignation. II he does not resign, he may
soon be turned out; and how will that lsOk
in historyr"
Good advice, but STANTON was never
known 10 take advice, from any person or
party. He might be induced to act ON this,
were the necessary conditions extended.
Let Congress vote him, for personal pro-
lection in his retirement the armed body
guard which SO long attended him after the
LINCoLN-SRwARD tragedy, and, we doubt
not, he will be too glad to sneak away from
public gaze. Fords Thedter, too, would be
a retreat in character. Possibly he induced
its purchase for that very object-it being
now the National receptacle for 'OGr trO-
phies, relics, &c. Fearing an avenger in
every bush-an assassln-shot in every
sound-a lurking enemy lying in wait for
redress of wrongs and cruelties in every
nitting shadow, the miserable HdynGu Of
American anarchy is the pitiable spectacle,
night and day, OF man whose unnatural
crimes against Gods justice and human
ity's appeals have stamped traitor on his
character and poltroon on all his acts.

Tgr Vlsir TO PLTERsBURG.-As our Peters
,,rc visitors paid lis the compliment of pass
;og Monday night in our city, it was believed
r;gbt and proper that they should be " seen
home" aud, therefore, when the cars left for
Petersburg, yesterday morning at nine o'clock,
nnihbcr Of the City Councifmcn and other
..,;,e,s of Norfolk were found on board, bound
,,r Petersburg, at which city they arrived at
,91 o'clock, when they We're met by the City

..,orted to the Bolingbrokc Hotel
Governor Pierpoint, Capt. Coruick, President
Of the Select Council, and Col. Sangster, Vice
President of the Norfolk Board of Trade, were
.syerally introduced, when Mayor Towns vel
coined the guests in BETTING terms.
The Governor responded, congratu'atiug all
Eastern Virginia and the West, upon the
oueniug of this great line OF communication
from the sea to the mighty Mississippi.
Capt Cornick rsciprocated the warm utter
ances Of welcome put forth by Mayor Towns.
Col. Sangster replied at length, in speech
replete with common sense and astutenesS for
which he is remarkable.
He was listened to with much interest and
long and loud applause followed his telling
words.
Messrs. L. fl Chandler, Charles Sharp, and
o,hers. followed in words welcome to the
ear
The punch-howI, al the Bollingbrooke. was
nayt attacked, and with gusto, that would
have done honor to Mahones old brigade.
Having carried this slight work, it was de-
termined to make a more serious attack on
Myers entrenched restaurant. The skirmishers
we're soon driven in, ard the outposts carried,
when the party, by decided charge, entered
he interior there to fnd numbers of dead boz
dies as represented in the persons of sundry
roast pigs, broed patridges, stewed terrapns,
baked ducks, &c., &c.
A regular Wake" was determined upon,
but under more quiet circumstances, than is
usual upon such occasions
Speeches and toasts were made and offered
by Colonel Sangster, Mr.. Vaughn, of Peters,
burg, Governor Pierpoint, General Malone,
C. R. Collier Charles Sharp, and by our
tJwnsman, Gilbert C. Walker, Esq, who
made speech upon the occasion, which re-
cived the warm concentrations OF all pre-
sent
At four o'clock. the delegation and citizens
started for home, where they arrived safely
about nine-and-a-half last night, well pleased
with the road, the Cockade City, and her peo-
pie, and mankind generally.
