POETICAL.
NaY FATHER.

As die tho embers on the hearth
And DER the floor the shadows fall,
And creeps the chirping cricket forth,
And ticks the death watch in tho wall
l see form in yonder chair,
That grows beneath the waning light
There are the wan, sad features-therc,
The pallid brow, and locks Of white
My Father when they laid thee down,
And heaped the clay upon thy breast,
And left thee sleeping all alone,
Upon thy narrow couch of rest,
know not why l could not weep
The soothing drops refused to roll,
And oh that grief is wild and deep,
Which settles fearless on the soul
But when / saw thy vacant chair
Thine idle hat upon the wall
Thy book-the pencilled passage, where
Thine eye had rested, last of all;
The tree beneath whose friendly shades
Thy trembling feet had wandered forth {;
The very prints those feet had mado
When last they ieebly trod the earth
And thought, while countless ages Aed,
Thy vacant seat would vacant stand
tnworn thy hat, thy book unread,
Eflaced thy footsteps from the sand
And wi dowcd, in this cherries world,
The heart that gave its love TO thee
Torn, like n vine, whose tcndrils curled
More closely round the falling tree
o Father, then, for her and thee,
Gushed madly forth the scorching tears,
And oft, and long, and bitterly,
Those tears have gushed in later years
For ms tho world grows cold around,
And things take on their real hue,
'Ts sad to learn that love is found
Alone above the stars with you.

The Courier thinks it strange that
the taxable property of the city of
Evansville is assessed at fifteen mil
lions Of dollars, by the Council, while
the entire County of Vanderburgh is
assessed at little over ten millions.
The Courier fails to state that there
has been no appraisement for county
purposes for three years and that
there will not be, under the law,
for two years to come, while prop
erty is re-appraised every year for
city purposes, and is therefore a more
correct estimate of the present value.
Moreover the city officials approx
mate more nearly to the real value
than the county officials, as is we'll
known to all real estate men. -
Another correction of our cotem-
porary: It's leader on Saturday is
based upon letter purporting to. be
written by Hon. IRA E. HARRIS,
taking grounds against the Congress
sional policy of reconstruction. The
Courier says: ..-.@.
Judge Harris has been the Repub-
lican Governor of the great State of
New York, and until last year repre-
scented that State in the Senate of the
United States. He has been con-
sistent Republican,, but he cannot
swallow military despotism and negro
suffrage. tsBsoE 4fefvqfTC} fT0ga
The Courier has mistaken its man.
Elk Governor and Elk Ex-senator IRA
HARRIS is not IRA, z. HARRIS. Gov.
IRA HARRIS published a letter, GER
tainly month ago, denying that he
was the author of any such letter,
and stating, in the most unequivocal
terms, that he did heartily endorse
the policy of Congress. This IRA E. !
HARRIS, if the letter is not forgery
is such an Insignificant parsonage
that the newspapers have been unable
to find him out. This whole matter
was entirely exploded weeks ago. /
