HAPPINESS

Can happiness on earth be found'
Go ask the rich and gay,
They'll tell you sorrow dwells around
Their dark and stormy way.
Go ask the man whose feeble steps
Are tottering and slow,
His long deep sigh and furrOwed check
Bespeaks heart of wo.
Go ask the poov and needy man
Whose locks are thined with care,
He'll tell you life is but span
And he Is not happy here.
Go ask the youth whose dimpled cheek
With rosy health adorned;
Her down cast look at once will speak,
Her path is strewed with thorns.
Go ask the child of tender years,
Whose heart is light and free,
Twill quickly answer, though in tears,
1t can not be happy here.
Go ask the gay and thoughtless crawd
~ vanity @.l $50,
And on their brow will hang n cloud
They have no peace within.
But 60 and ask the Christian, where
True happiness is found,
He'll point you to that heavenly star
Which is with glory crowned.
He'll tell you there's his only hope,
His trust when time shall end,
And there pure happiness and love
Can never, never end.

CHINESE INTERVIEWS.

The Chinese, who form a considerable
portion of the population of San Francis
co, although fraternising to a certain de-
/ gree with other nationalities, are still q
distinctive class, and adhere closely to the
customs OF their own country. The fol-
lowing particulars Of Chinese funeral in
that city, from the Aita Calyornia, are
curious as well as interesting.
y Chinese funeral took place few
weeks since from a house in the vacinity
of Jackson street. The deceased was ev-

his lifetime, for many carriages were

the remains OF the most opulcat TO thei-
last resting place. Curiosity prompted
the writer to visit the apartment where
the body lay. Passing through many do
yious ways, where every sign Of squalor
oud offensive odors abounded, room was
reached where number of Chinese were
engaged in confused colloquy. The corpse
seemed to have remained untouched from
the time life became extinct, and the first
steps towards preparing it for burial were
in progress. a coffin of superior de-

ANECIOTE OF GENERAL GRANT.

y friend some time ago related TO us an
anecdote of Gen Grant, which is too good
TO be lost
Such Of our readers as served in Eas:
Tennessee during the winter campaign OF
lS63-4-and no doubt we have 4 large
number Of them-will remember that the
soldiers were very scantily supplied with
clothing, and it was a common thing TO is
sue corn in the ear as rations both men
and mules, each Ean recelving from enc
TO three ears per day. As the ccntending
armies were lying near each other, each
dcsir1us Of obtaining the mastery Of the
country, there was daily skirmishiug, and,
in fact, such engagements as, in the early
par1 Of the var, would have been consid-
cred respectable battles, were Of frequent
occurrence. On sudden emergencies the
soldiers would be ordered into line, leav
ing their baggage in camp, to which they
might not return for days, and when they
did return they frequently found that the
enemy had been there in the meantime,
and carried of and destroyed everything
Of value. This was especially true brigade
OF Indiana six months men, known as the
"Persimmon Brigade" because, not rel
ishing corn in the ear, they chose to sub
sist or persimmoEs. SO much were the
men kept on the alert that, though Maj.
Ballard, Paymaster, was present, the
commanding officers could not allow him
to pay off some of the regiments for more
than a month.
Such was the state of affairs when Gen.
Grant, having been appointed to the su-
preme command Of the army, paid fly
ing visit to the forces occupying the cour-
try 10 the north east of the Clinch river,
on his-way to Washington in the winter
OF 1864 A few days before, the main
body of the enemy had retired toward
south western Virginia, and Gen. Wilcox,
who commanded tie district Of the Clinch,
had fixed his headquarters a, one OF the
county towns in the northern part Of Ten
nessee. Grant arrived, unannounced and
unexpected, at the place, on bitter cold
day, and forbade the firing of salute or
making any other demonstration. Even
the sentinel in front of Gen. Wilcox's
quarters, who was one Of the "PersimmOn
Brigade" was not aware Of his presence.
After spending some time with Gen. Will
cox. Gen. Grant went out and mounted
his horse. The sentinel, who was an un-
couth specimen of the Hoosier, was try
ing to keep himself warm by walking to
and fro, alternately striking the butt OF
his musket on the pavement, and testing
the solidity of the frozen earth by trying
to thrust his bayonet into it.
Gen. Grant appeared to be amused at
the performance, and addressing the SOL
der, said: "Well, my man, to what COM
mand do you belopg2"
Picking up an old shoe on the point OF
his bayonet, and twirling il in the air, the
man replied: II belong to the wun hun

Saturday, Oct. 18th, 1867
W Mr.. C. W. HoRNER is authorized to make
business contracts for the Standard Office.

Undue Importance is attached by many to
the late elections in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
In the former State no Governor and no
members of Congress, and no members of
the Legislature were voted for, but only some
State Judges and County officers. In Ohio
only one member of Congress was voted for.
The Republicans have elected their candi-
date for Governor, and a majority of the
Legislature, thus securing the United States
Senator. 1t is to be regretted that the peo-
pie of Ohio have voted against manhood
suffrage, but a very large vote has been cast
for it, and it will triumph at the next cleo
ton.
Let it he remembered that Congress is
radical by more than two-thirds. and that this
Congress will not expire until the 4th of
March, 1869. It has yet sixteen months in
which to complete the work, of reconstruc-
ton in its own way. 1t is going to do it.
Those who think Andrew johnson will sue
coed with his schemes, and that they will
get pay for their negroes, and go back to
the Union with the white Unionists and the
colored people in these Southern States
under their feet, were never so deluded in
their lives. Before such result as this could
be accomplished million of men would
rise in arms, and such a war would take
place as the world has never witnessed.
We say to Republicans, and especially to
the colored people, be not dismayed or de-
pressed. 1t will all come out right in the
end. Stand by the flag, put your trust in
Congress, do your duty as Republicans, and
all will be we'll.
