"Little Jini.''

We copy the following gem from the Phila.
delphia Press. IL b. airs no authors signature
and Of a truth, requires none to stamp II as the
emanation Of a true poetic genius:
The cottage was a matched one, the outside old
and mean,
Yet everything within that cot was wOndrOus
neat and clean;
The night was dark and stormy, the wind was
bowling wild,
patient mother watched beside the death,
bed of her child
\ little worn-out CTeature-his once bright eyes
grown dim;
1t was the GOLFERS wife and child-they called
him Little jim.
And OF to see the hriny tears fast hurrying
down her check,
As she offered up prayer in thosght-she was
afraid to speak,
Lest she might wake one she loved lar better
than her life,
For she had all a mothers heart, had that poor
golfers wife,
With hands upliftCd, see she knees beside
the sufferers he'd
And prays that He will spare her boy and take
herself instead.
She gets her answer from the child soft fall
these words from him:
Mother, the angels do so smile and beckon
Little jim;
have no pain, dear mother, now, but o, lam
so dry
Just hoisttu puOI Jim ; llph aSaiu anu AlSlAl-
err, don't cry
With gentle, trembling haste she held tea-cup
to his lips;
Ne smiled to thank her as he took three little
tiny sips
TEL father, when he comes from work, said
good night to him.
And, mother, now I'll 90 to sleep Alas poor
Little Jim
She saw that he was dying-that the child she
| loved so dear
Had uttered the last words that she might ever
hope to hear
The cottage door is opened-the golfers step
Is heard
The father and mother meet, but neither speak
word
He felt that all was oyer-he knew his child wai
dead.
He took the candle in his hand and walked to
| ward the bed;
His quivering lips gave token of the grief he d
fain conceal
And see his wife had joined him-the stricken
couple kneel;
With hearts bowed down with sadness, the!
humbly ask OtHim,
In Heaven once more to meet again their owl
poor Little JIM

TKs AscUTYEYvILLE MURDERER.-The
Orleans independent Standard says, that
Henry Miller, the murderer OF Gowlng
and his wife, worked twenty-five days
this summerltor Mr.. Geo. W. Jenness, OF
Barton. He left there on Monday
night on the express train South,
and the murder was commit
ted before morning. While at work
for Mr.. Jenness he spoke of working for
man in Weathersheld, cattle dealer
as he said, who had failed up owing him
Sl60 for his work, and that he probably
should not get his pay. He worked
twenty-five days and overdrew his pay
some sixteen dollars, and said that he
wanted to go to South Troy and see his
wife. He was gone day or two and re-
turned on Monday morning, telling
Jenness that he had got a letter from his
lawyer informing him that he had
secured his pay Of Gowing, aud had a
check for the money, payable at the
lrasburgh Bank, but that he wanted
seven dollars for his services before he
could send the check, and asked Mr.
Jenness to lend him seven dollars more
promising to pay him on the Thursday
following. The money was advanced to
him, when he lay around loose that day
and went off on the train as before
stated. Mr.. Jenness says he worked very
steadily and appeared well-never being
away nights, but was at home at al
times, and did not appear to be drink
ing man, except the last day or two
when he appeared strangely. He has !
wife and one child. He married hi!
wife in Jay.

MORE VEToEs this week lay
before our readers, two moro vctocs
from President johnson. He seems
to have as much trouble in getting the
machine in order again, as 'tother fel-
low had in putting out, except that he
undertakes the job himself, while the
Theater Saint had to send out into
the highways and byways for his hun
dreds of thousands. The plan of the
President is much the cheapest and
more agreeable; and partaking lit
tie of the old Democratic style of do
ing things, we are compelled TO wish
him God speed while he ships on the
old Constitutional vessel, although
we did not vote for him, The Presi-
dents Messages thus far breathe a
proper spirit, and are so brim full of
Democratic doctrines and Constitu-
tional safeguards, that it is the duty
of every American who loves his
home, to read, study and practice the
precepts therein expressed President
Johnson and the hoped-for continued
good sense ofthe people, are our only
salvation.

SUPREME JUDGE.-His Honor Judge
Woodward having declined to become
a candidate for reelection, we observe
that. a number Of our exchanges have
suggested the name of Hon. William
A. Wallace, as the proper man for
Judge. We doubt whether Mr.. Wal
lace has any aspirations of this kind !;
but as this Judicial District has been
in the habit of furnishing the Supreme
Bench with first class Judges for many
years, we see nothing to prevent us
from continuing on this line, because
no man of his age is better qualified
for the position.

SEVEN VoTEs.-There seems TO be a
kind of fatality attached to this num-
Der during the past months, in the
election OF United States Senators.
Thad Stevens had but seven votes ;
Horace Greeley WI put off with the
same number; and the Rev. Isaac S.
Kallock, the celebrated Boston cler.
gyman who was driven out of his pull
pit for having too intimate relations
with the female members of his church
few years ago, was a candidate in
Kansas, and received the same mum.
Der That these three representative
men should be so shabbily treated by
their friends is remarkable.

Us,r Getting .fionr.

Before the second advent of loyalty
into this country, gold was worth just
one hundred cents on the dollar, In
war as well as in peace, while shin.
plasters representing one hundred
cents, often became entirely worth.
less, or were quoted at from one cent
up to the amount expressed on their
face At this day of loyal financicr-
ing we are taught that a gold dollar
sometimes becomes worth two dollars
and even more. This feature of the
case is as false as the declaration
made by the serpent to mother Eve
in the garden, and is made for a simi.
lar purpose, and by those of like de-
signs, if not so in form. This disre.
putablc system of fraud and deception
is carried on by loyalists for the pur-
pose of delaying the exposition and
final overthrow of their false po
litical economy. Instead of gold
dollar being worth one dollar and for
ty cents, truth ought to compel cv-
cry man to say that it is worth nc
more than heretofore, but that green.
backs are worth but sixty cents. Were
all business men to tell their custom
ers the truth, all would much sooner
realize their true condition. A great
financial shell hangs over our heads
and if the "run" of finance and bust
ness is not soon changed it will ex
plode and scatter its ruin and desola
tion throughout the country. Bank
ers and tradesmen had better tell thcil
customers that the Rubicon must soor
be passed, and that those who builc
their riches and hopes on green paper
will sink in mid channel. If they
continue their deception much longer
the whole Graf. will be lost; becahs,
every feature Of their system is false
Gold is just what it represents 10 be

We never think of the public course
of this statesman without being pro
foundly impressed with the truth that
no man ever promotes the disturbance
of his country without being in turn
overwhelmed by the storm he raises
No man in thocountry did so much to
foster and intensity tho "rrcprcssiblc
conflict" between the North and
South as Mr.. Seward. He was the
leader of the extreme Northern par
ty He gave words and names and
ideas TO his followers lie embodied
and represented the party. But his
followers are to-day far in advance of
their leader There is no man so ut
terly despised and hated by the great
body OF Republicans as Mr.. Seward.
They omit no opportunity to degrade
and insult him. They express their
regrets in public that Paincs' knife
did not do its perfect work. They
taunt and vilify him. They call him
ga demented old man" "a used up old
dog"
Having made violent change in
the institutions of his country, he is
now representing what remains This
is his oiionsc. lie .is for stopping
short in the bloody work Of revolu-
ton, and for binding up the wounds
already made This is a crime not TO
be tolerated. With what ieers do they
refer TO his "lbtle bell" not because
its tinkling consigned thousands ofin-
nocent men to dungeons without law,
but because he refuses to linkle it any
more to crafty their malice and re-
venge
The Girondists Of France revolu-
tionized their country, but they at
tempted to stay the whirl of the pas
sions they had excited. They were
accused Of treason by the Jacobins
whom they had instructed in revolu-
ton. They were pushed from their
seats and dragged to the guillotine.
The little bell that they tinkled for
others tinkled for them in turn. The
more bloody Jacobins rushed over tho
dead bodies of the Girondists into
power The Jacobins took their turn
in being destroyed by the violence
they had taught.
II revolutionary frenzy was not
proof against all reason we would re-
commend these historical truths and
principles to the careful consideration
of the violent and bloody minded rad
icals of the hour. The would be mod
crate revolutionary Girondists were
slain by the impatient Jacobins. The
Jacobins were murdered in their turn.
The Jacobns treated the Girondists
with infinite contempt, scorn and vio-
lence. The successors Of the Jacobins
looked upon them with horror.
Mr.. Seward is the Girondist leader.
The load Of contempt which his follow
crs now heap upon him is only equal
cd by the hatred of the Jacobins for
the Girondists The present radicals
can see their doom in the degradation
now poured upon the head of their
leader, Seward. Their no distant sue
cessors will look upon them and their
violence with the same horror with
which the world now remembers the
Jacobins and their schemes for the
government of France. The first act
is past, we see the result We are in
tho second the result is certain, and
the end not distant. Great and vio-
lent passions must soon consume
themselves.--.Sdiem Statesman.

lantry on the field, and he was in the
army of the Potomac all the way
through from beginning to end. lie
was severely wounded, and for his gal
lantry President Johnson gave him
the collcctorship of the ninth New

has rejected him. 1t may be added
that he was by letter complimented
by President Lincoln, Lieutenant
General Grant and Major-General
Hancock, for his great services to his
