AFTER ALL.

The apples are ripe in the orchard
he work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the light of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the granC sire
Sits pale in his easy chair,
While the gentle wind of the twilight
Plays with his silver HAIR.
A woman is kneeling beside him
A fair young form i pressed,
In the first wild passion of sorrow,
Against his aged breast.
And far from over the distance
The faltering echoes come,
OF the flying blast of the bugle
And the rafting roll of the drum.
Then the grandsire speaks in whisper,
1.-The end no man can see;
But we give him to his country,
And we give our prayers to Thee
But the grandsire's chair is empty;
The cottage is dark and still;
There's nameless grave on the battlefield
And new one under the bill.
And pallid fearless woman
BY the C Id hearth sits alone,
And the old clock in the corner
Ticks on with steady drone.

Sea Sickness and Profanity.

Sea sickness is a sad leveler to which
the strongest minds succumb, leaving
nothing but the desire to touch terra
TRINA again. An eminent dramatic ar
fist, who has recently made most sue
cessful tour in California, returned East
by steamer. Scarcely had the ship got
out of sight of land before the Thespian
was laid by the heels with NAL de mer.
In the depths of his despair he called
for the captain, and, when that worthy
arrived, the tragedian gazed at him for
few moments and then asked:
'Ar-r-e you the captain ?
4 have the honor said the son of
Neptune.
Very well, sir. l want you to
run this blasted ship ashore. III pay you
for her, hull, engines and cargo
The captain smiled and told his un-
happy passenger it was impossible.
'Ver-r-ry well, sir-r-r. Tie her to
rock, then, and stop this blasted roll
ing
Being assured that this was also i'm
possible, the wretched actor retired to
his state-room, and lying there in mortal
agony, cursed the sea and all that ap-
pertained TO it, with oaths both loud
and deep.
Now, it so happened that the Rev.
Mr.. Cbadband, who had collected a
large amount of money in California to
purchase ine-tooth combs and tracts for
the Digger Indians, was on his way
East to invest his funds, and occupied
his state room next the actors. Horri-
fed at the roars of the sick lion, he
walked into the state-room just as he
let off another volley of anathemas,
which extorted deep groan from
ChadLand.
Hello said the player, fare you
sick p
Sick at heart, BROTHER was the re-
spouse, ito hear you use such arguage.'
1t is bad habit, said the wretched
artist, 'but d-n it, sir, here I've been
turned inside out for three days, thrown
up everything possible, and if I'm sick
any longer, curse me if | don't think l
shall throw up my engagement in New
York Blast the sea p
Don't, my dear sir, curse so. Re-
member one who was patient under
much greater suferings than yours
The tragedian rose to his full hight,
and running his fingers through his
hair, as he chewed his voice for mo-
ment, replied
Il do remember Him, sir-r-r-r, and I
remember that when He was caught at
sea He got out and acalked, and l wish
| could follow his example, in that re-
spect at least
Mr. Chadband concluded that any
more missionary effort in that direction
would not be very profitable. boston

MY MOTHER.

l am thinking Of thee mother,
For thy voice and gentle tone
Come softly stealing DER me
As l am sitting, sad and lone.
Ny heart hath known its sorrows
Since they LAID thee in the grave,
And l sighed to sleep beside thee,
Where the grass and violets wave.
Thy tender loving kindness,
That blessed my life's young hours,
Gave beauty to that hallowed time,
Like the early dew to flowers;
And as the murmurings of the water.
Or the plaintive moaning dove,
Are the si9hings of my spirit
For thy lost and holy love.
Young life without a mothers love,
Is a dreary joyless thing;
Like the barren earth would be,
Without the breath of Spring.
Then let thy angel voice still come,
To calm my pulses throbbing wild,
And mother-dear, sweet mother
In heaven, still love thy child.

A TRAVELLER once arrived at village
inn after hard days travel, but the
landlord said they were entirely full,
and that it was utterly impossible to
accommodate him that his wife had to
sleep on the sofa and himself on the
floor, but he would see what his wife
could do for him. The good woman,
on being applied to, said there was a
room he might occupy, provided he
would agree to these conditions, viz ::
To enter the room in the dark, and
leave it early in the morning, to prevent
scandal, as the room was double bedded,
and occupied by lady This he
agreed to. About two o'clock in the
morning an awful noise was heard in
the house, and our friend, the traveller,
was heard tumbling heels over head
down stairs. The landlord on arriving
at the spot, inquired what the matter
was. The traveller calculated, as soon
as he could speak. ooh, Lord. the
woman's dead ? 4 knew that said
the landlord, but how did you find it

WRESTLING GIRLs.-Show me the
girl who has the hardihood to whistle
In these days, when everything natural,
even to the very hair Of your head is at
discount and I'll show you girl to
be depended upon-one who will not
fail you in time of need, and will give
you the true, hearty grasp, the cordial
shake and the warm, genuine welcome
no tip of the kid glove and cold How
do you do?' Who can brave danger,
look toll il the face without shrinking,
laugh with those that laugh and weep
with those that weep as we'll whistle
with those that whistle, who can, in
short take the world as she finds it,
rough and rugged, and not 60 through
life as though she were walking on eggs
and afraid of cracking a shell; who
deals in substance, and not shadow.
TIE WAY TO HEALTH.-The only
true way to health is that which common
sense dictates to man. Live within the
bounds of reason. Eat moderately,
drink temporarily, sleep regularly, avoid
excess in anything, and preserve con-
science void of offence Some men
eat themselves to death, some drink
themselves to death, some wear out
their lives by Incidence, and some by
over exertion, others are killed by the
doctors, while not few sink into the
grave under the effects of vicious and
beastly practices. All the medicines in
creation are not worth farthing to
man who is constantly and habitually
violating the laws of his own nature.
All the medical science in the world
cannot save him from a premature
grave. With a suicidal course of con-
duct, he is planting the seeds of decay
in his own constitution and accelerating
the destruction of his own life.

Election Recommendations Supposed
10 have Carried the state by 49,
900.
New YORK, August 2.-The Heralds
Nashville special says: The election re-
turns come in slowly. Every county III
Middle and Eastern Tennessee, so far az
heard from, have gone Radical. Brown
low probably carries every county, eX-
cent two in West Tennessee, and they
are doubtful. Middle Tennessee gives
him a majority of at least $1,000. Nash
willie city gives him 1900, aud Dawson
county over 1000. The Radical Con-
gressmen are elected. OF the Legisla-
ture, twenty out of twenty-three Radi-
Gals are elected for the upper house,
and all but ten of the eighty-three in
the lower house. Returns thus far made
indicate a majority for BrewnlOw OF
$4,000, which will be probably increas.
ed to $4,000. In Nashville there was Il
general suspension of business. The
streets, except in the vicinity of the
polls, were almost Us quiet us OH sun
day. There was no interruption, aud
no disorder. The election to-day dates
an epoch in the political history OF the
country.
The Herald's Memphis, Tennessee, spe-
cial says: From other counties In
West Tennessee returns are very mea'
gre. HarwOod goes Radical; Browns
Vile, the county seat, gives Etheridge a
majority of Ia. Hardman has also
gone Conservative; Bolivar, the county
seat, gives Etheridge l22 majority. Fay
cite county is strongly Conservative; liz
returns have been received. Henry
county gives a small Conservative na
iority. Able and Coleman, the COnser
yative candidates in this city for til,
Legislature, are defeated by Rider aud
Hamilton, Radicals. Lettwirth, the
Conservative candidate for Congress, 1t
probably elected by IL very small ma
jority.
The Herald's Clarksville special says
The election passed OFF quietly here To
day. At this precinct $50 votes wer,
given for the Radical and lbs for til,
Conservative ticket. BrOwulOw's mill
tary are here. They kept themselve.
from the polls and the disfranchiSed
whites also. The usual white vote oi
the county is 5000.
The Tribune's Nashville special says
The majority for BrownlOw i'll the state
from indications received, will exceed
10000.
The Times Knoxville special says
The negro vote in the city was very
heavy, being about 800, nearly all OF
which were for Brownlow. The city
gives Brownlow 6il majority. In his
own precinct, of the 40, he lost but one
and that was his own vote. Governor
Brownlow claims the eight Congress
men, and majority of thirty thous.
and in the State and twenty Thousand
IN East Tennessee.
