When L was Young.

Ono morning, as chanced to pass
Close by cottage gate,
An aged matron in the shade
Sat talking to her Kate.
The frost of age was on her brow,
And garrulous her tongue,
AS she compared tho doings now
With those when she was young.
When was young, young gals were meel
And looked round kinder shy,
And when they were compelled to speak,
They did so modestly.
They staid at home and did the work,
Made Indian bread and wheaton,
And only went to Sabbath school,
And sometimes to night meeting.
Young children were obedient then,
SAnd had no saucy airs
They minded what their mothers said,
And learned to say their prayers.
But nowadays they know enough
Before they know their letters,
And young ones that can scarcely talk
Will contradict their betters.
Young ladies now so flirting round,
And locking out Tor beaux,
And scarcely one in ten is found
Who makes or mends her clothes.
When | was young, if merchant failed,
He shut up honSe and hall,
And never ventured out till night,
Ii he ventured out at all.
His wife sold out her China plates,
his boys came home from college,
His gals they learned to cook and bake,
And wash and such like knowledge.
But now-a- days, when a merchant fails,
They say he makes penny,
His wife don't have gown the less,
And his daughters just as many;
He r'9es his horse, he drives his gig,
HI Crinks the choicest wine,
His :, 1e goes to the opera,
And he asks folks to dine.
When l was young, crime was crime
1t had no other name
And when twas proved against 4 man,
He had to bear the blame;
They called the man that stole s'thicf,"
And wasted no fine feeling;
What's now called ''petty larceny,''
In my day was called stealing"
They did lot make reprobate
The theme of song and story,
AS if the bloodier was his deed,
The brighter was his glory.
And when a murder was done,
Could they the murderer find,
They hung him as they would crow
A terror to his kind
But nowadays, it seems to me,
Whenever blood is split,
The murderer has our sympathy,
Proportioned to his guilt.
And when the law has proved man
To be second Cain,
A dozen jurors will be found
To bring him in Insane

we hnd the following IN an eX-
change without credit. It is vcrv
interesting incident, we'll told:
When Sherman's army entered Co.
lumbia, there lay upon bed of sick
ness, in a hospital, the widowed
mother of two little girls, who, in
nocently and in blissful ignorance of
their sad situation, amused them
selves with children's sports in the
place of prlvatlon, sorrow and pain,
to which their poor mother had re-
treated as the only refuge in her
helplessness. She came from Geor-
gia to attend her husband, soldier,
who was sick in the hospital, and
who was soon relieved from misery
and dread scenes to come by death.
His poor wife soon took his place in
the sick list, and her only children,
the two little girls, remained as guests
of this place, where infancy was so
strangely associated with disease
with all its horrors, and became
familiar with Death, who, attended by
famine. maintained his hideous vigils
over the sick, wounded and dying
inmates.
The thunders OF the approaching
army, the roar of flames, the ringing
Of bells, the falling of houses, the
bursting of shells, and the general
clamor of panic, distress and grief,
so shocked the feeble sick woman in
the hospital, that she died from grief
and fright, bestowing last glance,
in utter despair, upon her two little
children, whose fate it was to be left
at such time amongst strangers, far
from home and perfectly helpless.
Who can tell the anguish of that
poor mother at passing away from
the world and leaving her tender off
spring to the mercics and chances of
that perilous day! It was indeed a
mercy that the pang and the agony
were brief.
The mother died, and was buried
by order of Gen. Sherman, who also
ordered that the two infants should
be sent to the asylum. A general
famine followed liz the march Of that
general officer, and there being no
thing wherewith TO feed the inmates
of the asylum, there was no recourse
but to send them away. Hero was
another phase of that extreme human
misery which .chills the blood even tc
read Of. The feeble, the sick, the lame
and the halt, and the helpless who
found refuge in that asylum, were tc
go forth, as there was nothing there
to feed them. Where were they tc
go? and what to do? What became
of them all, none can tell. Death
ended the sorrows of many.
In the midst Of this sad commu
nifty were the two motherless girls
mere infants, unconscious of their lot
People came from all quarters to sec

on this errand was a lady OF grea

A NEW LOBBY SCHEME.

The party concerned in the lobby scheme for
getting an Appropriation of So U,0D from Con /.
gress for converting the aqueduct at George
town into bridge across the Potomac, for the
use OF Washington, in lieu of the Long Bridge
seem to have made a pretty successful start.
lhey managed to seeurs the insertion in the
three morning papers to- day of an editorial
warmly favoring the scheme abo We mentioned,
and all three editorials bear the earmark =
of the same paternity. We imagine that there
must have been some CONSERVATION in the ed
itoriai camps Of the papers in question this
morning on seeing the telI-tale marks of COM
mon paternity in these editorials, sno wing un :
nistakably how their papers had been used
by the schemers in question.
Now, ~ Is quite out of the question that any
such lobby scheme shall be successful. and
tbata community of an hundred thousand
people shall have nc more direct access with
the Virginia shore, with the great sourcs of
market supply, with the neighboring city of
alexandra, and with the great line of travel
South than by circumbendibus OF eight
miles VIA Georgetown and the Aquedust
We coneede that it is idle to waste more mo-
ney upon the Long Bridge upon ITS present
defective plan. But this is just the time to
erect permanent bridge there; and in connec-
