Once she was 'Mother,' and it was
Mother, I'm hungry Mother, mend
my jacket, and Mother, put up my
dinner and Mother with her loving
hands, would spread the bread and
butter, and stow away the luncheon,
and sew on the great patch, her heart
brimming with affection for the impet-

many steps, and nearly distracted her
with his boisterous mirth.
Now she is the 'old woman but she
did not think then that it would come
to that. She looked on through the
future years and saw her boy to man

Never was there a more noble son

Aye, he was her support even then,
but she did not know it. She never
realized that it was her little boy that
gave her strength for daily toil-that

her over the brink of a dark despair
She on " knew how she loved the child,
and felt that amid the mists of are

THE MILE STONE.

Along n road two Irish lads
one summers day were walking.
And all the while, with laugh and shout.
In lively strain were talking.
About the fair, about the gif;s,
And who were bc~ta, dancing
While at each pretty face they met
Their eyes were brightly gIaucing.
And as they strobe for many mile
They grew in time quite fri~ky,
And now and them from lip to lip.
They passed the darling whisky.
At length before them IN the hedge,
The roadside view commanding,
They saw, its white side Iettcrcd Ger,
a mile stone lonely standing.
They read, and quickly dofcd their hats,
With sorrow in their faces:
Then turned with reyereniral awe,
And stepped back several PAGES.

The Manhood, Demand Chase.

The Cincinnati Commercials Little Rock,
Arkansas, correspondent, has something to
say about the next Presidency, that may
have tendency to stiffen up the weak
kneed journals of the Radical party. who
are being scared out of their extreme views
on Impeachment, SC.
The following is the extract alluded to
et"The Sentinel here is in favor of Salmon
P. Chase, for President, the father of ne
gro sovereignty and national banking. The
Chase for President, and Fred. Douglass for
Vice President; and if they expect to car
ry the three or four hundred thousand ne
gro votes of our newly enfranchised citi-
zens, this will have to be the ticket, however
much the candidate forVice President might
be Objectionable to the olfactory nerves OF
the timid and delicate Republicans of the
Harlan wing of the party. None other
could be named that could command
one-fourth of the negro vote; there
fore the aspirations OF the defeated
hero OF Shiloh, and the lesser lights OF
the faithful will have to stand aside and
give place to the great father of negro SOW
ereignty--JudgeC Chase--whom the negroes,
en- naasse, worship and look up to as their
deity upon earth, as a second godfather.
Amy other combination OF candidates would
be certain defeat with the black masses of
the country /; besides, Chase would be more
acceptable to the Southern whites than any
other one of the great men of the Republi-
can party. They know that he is honest
and reliable, and if elected, would be the
President, in fact and deed. Grant himself
could not command one fourth of the col
ored vote. and but few of the Conservatives,
though the latter have no very exalted opin-
ion of his fitness or caliber of mind sufficient
to fill the executive chair of President OF
the United States. Pluck can WELD an ar
my successfully, and save nation in time
of war and international commotion, but
pluck cannot make successful President
it requires talent AMI statesman of the
first order, in which Grant is sadly def
cient; and if he is wise and desires the
success of the party which he is supposed
to favor, he will necessarily have to torego
his aspirations for the Presidency, for the
present"
1t is generally admitted that, unless the
Republican party can secure the negro
vote in the Southern States, it must go to
the wall. We do not see, if the above be
true, why CHAsE's chances for the honor cl
a nomination are not first best.

Dea,h of Fitz Greene Halleck.

FITz GREENE HALLECK, the poet, died at
GuilfOrd, Connecticut, on Tuesday night,
in his eightieth year. He was for many
years the confidential business manager of
the late JOHN JACOB AsToR, and, while fill
Ing that position, found leisure for the pro-
duction of number of meritorious poeti-
cal works, more than one of which has be-
come familiar as household words' in
every house in America. In 1922 his ia
nous lyric "Marco Bbzzaris" was publish
ed in the New York ReoieU, and apart from
its great intrinsic merits, was extremely
popular, as all Christendom was then en-
thusiastic in behalf of the Greeks in their
struggle against the Turks.
The lines which HALLECK wrote in 1920
on the death of his friend, J. RoDMAN
DRAKE, also poet of rare excellence, are,
perhaps, in the two last lines, as ap-
plicable to himself, as they could possibly
be to another:
Screen be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days:
None knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise"

In the Senate of the United States, Mr..
SUMNER has introduced bill to strike the
word aohite from all laws operating in the
District of Columbia, so as to give the ne
groes the right to hold office.
Mr.. EDMUNDs, in the interest of the bond
holders, has introduced a Resolution in the
Senate, to add one-third to the National
Debt of the United States, by declaring
that, except in cases where the law express
ly provides that it shall be paid in paper,
which in no case it does, it shall be paid in
gold.
Where the law says the bonds shall be
paid in gold, in gold they should be paid !;
hut to legislate that they shall not be paid
in legal tender, the currency in which they
were purchased and in which it was under
stood they should be paid, and that they
shall be liquidated in cein, is the baldest at
tempt at swindling on record.
The people are already too tax-ridden,
to allow such an outrage. Those who vote
for it will reap whirlwind of popular in
dignation, and even the bondholders, in the
end. may realize that repentance which
comes too late. .-' #FFE at

The People Would Not Heed.

The Ne,o York Evening Post, leading
organ of the Radical party in that State,
sees the handwriting on the wall and thus
sounds the note of alarm:
1t cannot be denied that there has been a
good deal of inconsiderdte and even danger
Gus legislation in Congress during the past
two years. There has been a great deal
more inconsiderate and dangerous talk.
There are still threats made by men who
ought to know better, which are nothing
less than revolutionary, and of these things
the people are getting weary. They tell
their representatives in Congress that in
stead of listening to their enthusiasts, to
their extreme men, to their Summers, their
Stevenses, ard their Buffers, it would be
better to the dictates OF good sense, to the
strict requirements of constitutional law,
and to men of moderation and statesman
ship. AS for reconstruction, it is not in so
hopeful a condition now as it was a year
ago, when the constitutional amendment
article XIV-was passed. Nearly all that
Congress has since done has been needless,
riolent, unstdtesndnlike-we might almost
say, Jdnatical.
What did the Democratic editors and
stumpers tell the people pending the cleo
tions in 1866? They told them that If they
should elect the Radical candidates to Con-
gress there would be 'a good deal of IL
considerate and even dangerous legislation
In Congress-" and that Reconstruction"
would be retarded instead of promoted
Now, we have the testimony in the above
confirmatory of what the Democrats pre-
dicted would result, and this volunta-
ry testimony comes from leading

+, "He edless ExaravaSance.

What howl went up from the throat Of
the Radical press when President JOHNSON
removed Secretary STANTON. 1t was q
matchless crime against loyalty, and no
man but he was capable of administering
the War Department in the way it should
be administered. Congress would reinstate
him as soon as it again got together. The
mass of the people, however, did not be-
come excited or indignant about the mat
ter. 1t is seldom that STANTON is now
talked about-very little, certainly, in con-
nection with restoration to the department
of Secretary of War. The Cincinnati Com
naercidl protests against such an effort be-
ing made, and declares that his ''removal''
''has turned out good thing" 1t has
made the discovery at length that 'she ad-
ministered" "the War office" with heed
less extravaganza"
The Democracy, in demanding the re-
moval of this man STANTON, were charged
with an unjustifable hatred toward him,
and no credit was given them for enter
tanning desire to have "a good thing ="
done, and corrective made in the "heed-
less extravaganza practised in an impor-
tant Department, which was tributary to
the tax-oppression of the people.
Not only in the War Department under
STANTON has there been "heedless extrav-
agance;" but in every Department and
branch of the Government has there been
the most "heedless extravaganza" and it
is for the purpose of doing away with it
and thus tightening the burthens of the
great masses of the people that the Demo-
cracy are urging the propriety of a change
OF parties in the Government. The Repub-
lican politicians will declaim against such
change. just as they did against the remov-
al of STANTON, which "has turned out a
good thing" The displacement of the Re-
publican party from power will turn ' out
a good thing to the country, to the tax
payers and to the people generally.
