am so old, so old. Well a-day!
Fourscore and more years have passed away
And brought but labor and sorrow.
Pm wrinkled and gray-bent like a bow,
My speech gets foolish, so old, you know,
But ! shall be younger tomorrow.
Stay with me Hannah, and chat bit,
My mind keeps running on things that fit,
Like the shadows there on the wall.
Thicker and faster they come and &C
And I'm so old, and l think so slow,
That cannot remember all.
But my good man was here at even;
And children-there used to be seven
Were shouting at play in the lane.
Hark seems to me some one was calling,
Or was it the elm branches falling,
Wind tossed 'gainst the cracked window pane
Nigh about forty years my good man,
Stir the fire, Hannah, bright ifyou can,
What was saying! O,dead, dead,
Dead lies my good man; and one, two, three,
More perhaps-Tm forgetful, you see
Ofmy children lie round his bed.
And some are not there; but they might be.
For all the good they've done me;
But | should have died years ago.
Now they've babies of their own to cherish,
And the old mothers left to perish.
It's the way of the world, you know.
Just now, was plucking white daisies,
They grew so thick over their faces
They covered them all from my sight.
Ay, Hannah, know it is slowing
But they called me thrice and I'm going
Again in the darkness, tonight
Now bring my black cloak, for shiver,
Good Hannah, I'm nearing the River,
The dear Lord is waiting, close by.
FourscOre years and more all of sorrow,
But shall be young with tomorrow,
So, pray let the old woman die.

Kossuth in Hungary.
BY HORACE GREELEY.

The brief telegraphic announce
ment that Louis Kossuth has been
chosen, without dissenting voice,
to represent the little city of Wait
zen in the Hungarian Let or Parlia-
ment awoke but languid interest
here, until supplemented by the as
surance that he had concluded to ac-
cept the position. Thenceforth, Wait
zen has an honored and enduring
place in the annals of mans long
struggle for liberty secured, not
stifed, by law.
We all know Louis Kossuth.-
Many of us have seen and heard
him /; not few Americans have grasp
ed his hand, have hung upon his ac-
cents, and been privileged to call
him friend. We know that he has
been tried both by prosperity and by
adversely as have few others now liv-
ing, and that there was found in him
less dross to purge away than in any
other modern leader of a struggling
people. A Washington in all but

With regard to the next Presiden-
cy, Washington correspondent gives
the following view:
"The nomination of Gen. Grant,
by the Republican Convention, is gen.
orally spoken of as foregone con-
clusion. Senator Wilson, Speaker
Colfax and Gen. Howard are three
of the names mentioned with his for
the second place on the ticket
Everybody considers that Wade is
dead so far as the Presidency is con-
cerned, and almost everybody admits
that Chase is in The same fix. I'll.
Seymour will undoubtedly go before
the next Democratic Convention with
strong hackers. Andrew johnson
will be so dead by that time that. even
the scavengers will almost decline to
touch him. Gen. Sherman will not
be in market for anybody's bidding
just now Mcclellan stock is In the
ascendant. There are many persons
who believe the Democrats will tino
him their most available man."

The Apple Crop.

While there is a considerable def
cheney in the produce of apples in
New England, the supply from Vir-
ginia and western and a portion of
northern New York has been large,
as the crops in those localities have
been, particularly on the Lake Erie
shore, where prices have not been so
low, the Tribune says, for many years.
In the interior of Ohio, and along
the banks of the river of that name,
crops of apples are abundant. In In
diana and Illinois apples are plenty,
and in Iowa and northern Missouri
the yield is enormous. Northern In
diana and Southern Michigan can
furnish very large supplies, but high
freights almost keep them out Of
northern markets in the green state
Concerning the decay of the apple
culture in New England, the article
whence we take the above statement
says:
at is melancholy to reflect that
the orchards of New England, which
formerly were so fruitful, and which
first proved that America was capa
BILE of excelling the Old World, anC
which really laid the foundation Of
fruit culture in this Western World
now have fallen into decay. More
than this, it is alleged that orchards
recently planted, and which now
should bear abundantly, not only are
barren, but many of the trees bligh
and die. 1t is to be considered tha
the apples of New England, as gen
eral thing, were of poor quality, be
ing merely seedlings; that one cause
of disappointment is the natural re
suit of old age, and that recent plant
ing has been by no means general
Another cause reasonbly may be look
ed for in the fact that, by long cul
tivation, the soil of these States ha
been deprived Of the elements neces
sary to bring orchards into bearing
state, or even to give vitality to tn,
trees. 1t would be worth while fo
farmers to try the experiment of tax
ing some eminence, or land, whicI
never has had much cultivation, evel
if rocky, and test the question wheth
er this soil will not produce fruit a
well as all portions of the countr
did in early days. Last year, whe
the remains of Roger Williams, a
| Providence, were removed, it wa
| found that the roots of an apple tire
had descended into the grave an
absorbed the whole skeleton, and i
doing so the roots had unmiStakabl
arranged themselves in the huma
form. Roger Williams taught an il
valuable lesson to our people when h
inculcatcd the wisdom of religion
toleration and led the way for its il
corporation into our National Const
tuition; and now, though long deaC
with the last remains of his mortt
body we should be reminded that til
phosphates and other elements con
, mon to animal organisms are requi
ed to make the apple orchards of th
old States again blossom and bear {
in the happay days which are gone

Der of the Conference by taking upon himself the
Ordination Vows, per discipline; this scene was
rendered imposing by the solemn and impressive
manner in which the Rev. j. M. Brown at the re-
quest of the Bishop, made the usual inquiries
which faithfully answered by the applicant
The Bishop caledforward the applicants who
had been recommended for the itinerancy and adj
dressed them as follows: Z" Dear brethren, you
are about to take upon yourselves greater re-
sponsbility as Christian ministers. 1t is your
duty to 60 out in the hedges and highways and
gather in the lost sheep Of the House OF Israel;
to go forth bearing precious seed. The life OF an
itinerant preacher is one of trial, yet there are
some delightful things connected with it. 1t is
said that Methodist preachers are poor, general
ly. This we admit, but it is delightful to know
that our blessed Lord and Master was sometimes
so poverty stricken that he exclaimed, The foxes
have holes and the birds of the air have nests,
but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his
head.'"
The Bishop then proceeded to give them the
usual charge, per discipline, in a solemn andim-
pressive manner.
The Conference adjourned, by benediction to
meet tomorrow morning at 9 O'Clock.
