There's a tincture of grief in the beautiful
DESERTED.

The river flowed with the light on its breast,
And the waves were eddying by;
And the round red sun went down in the
West.
When my loves loving lips to my lips were
pressed
Under the evening sky;
Now. weeping. alone by the river I stray,
For my love has left me this many day
Left me to droop and die.
AS the river flowed then. the river flows still
In ripple. and foam. and spray;
On by the church, and found by the hill,
And under the sluice by he old burnt mill,
And out to the fading day;
But love it no more. for delight grows cold
When the song is sung and the tale is told,
And the heart IS given away.
Oh, river, run far Oh, river, run fast
Oh, weeds, float on to the sea
For the sun has gone down on my beautiful
And the hopes that like bread on the waters
cast
Have drifted away like thee
So the dream it is fed, and the day it is done,
And my lips will murmur the name of one
Who will never come back to me.

ing the attack at Donelson, Southern
hard shell exhorter was holding forth in

that the Lord fought on the side of the

saying that it was impossible for the in
vading Yankees to conquer them. Just
at the close of one of these sentences, a

THE UNKNOWN GUEST.

One pleasant evening in the month
of June, in the year IL, man Was
observed entering the border of a wood
near the Hudson river, his appearance
being that of person above the COM
mon rank The Inhabitants of the vii
lage would have d gnifieI him with the
title of Squire, and from his manners,
pronounced him proud; but those more
accustomed to society would inform you
that there was something like military
air about him.
His horse painted as if it had been
hard pushed for some miles; yet from
the owners frequent stops to caress the
patient animal, he could not be charged
with the want of humanity, but seemed
to be actuated by some urgent necessity
The rider, forsaking good road for a
by path leading through the woods in
dicated desire to avoid the gaze of
other travellers.
He had not left the house where he
inquired the direction of the above men-
toned path more than two hours before
the quietude Of the place was broken by
the noise of distant thunder. He was
soon obliged to dismount, travelling be-
coming dangerous, as darkness con-
cealed surrounding objects, except when
the lightning flash afforded him mo-
mentary view of his situation.
A peal, louder and of longer duration
than any of the preceding, which now
burst over his head, seemed as if it
would rend the woods asunder, and wa :
quickly followed by heavy fall of rain,
that penetrated the clothes of the
stranger ere he could obtain the shelter
of large oak which stood at little
distance
Almost exhausted with the labors of
the day, he WAS about making such dis
position of the saddle and his overcoat
as would enable him to pass the nj ght
with what comfort circumstances would
admit, when he spied a elimmering
through the trees Animated with the
hupe of better lodgings, he determined
to proceed.
The way, which was steep, became
attended wi h more obstacles the further
he advanced, the soil being composed of
clay, which the rain had rendered so
soft that his feet slipped at every step
BY the utmost perseverance this diff
Guilty was finally overcome without any
accident, and he had the pleasure of
finding himself in front of decent Look

OLD TIMES.

There's beautiful song on the slurnberous
air.
That drifts through the Valley of Dreams;
And a tuneful heart. and bright brown hair,
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown,
And snow-white foreheads were there;
A glimmerlng Cross and glittering Crown.
A thorny bed and couch of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
A breath of Spring in the breezy woods.
Sweet watts from the quivering pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble of brooklets. a scent of buds,
Bird MARBLES and clambering vines.
A rosy wreath in dimpled hand,
A ring and slighred VOW
Three gold'n links of broken band,
A tiny track on the snow-white sand,
A tear and sinless brow.
There's tincture of grief in the beautiful
song
That sobs on the slumberous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng
Sinks down in the soul as it trembles along
From a cline where the roses were.
We heard it first at the dawn of day.
| Anc it mingled with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody floweth from far away,
And we call it now, Old Times.

-
bany Argus, a leading Democratic news
paper of New York, suggests the plan
of leaving the sale of liquors free, and
licensing drinkers. as it is the drinking
and not the selling that does the mis-
chief. The license should provide that
"no man should be entitled to drink
unless he first got license; and any
barkeeper who should sci! to an unli
censed party should be subject to fine
and imprisonment The license should
be annual, and the sum charged should
be from $40 to 500. No young man
should be allowed license till he was
sixteen, and until twenty-one years of
age only beer drinker at a modest
charge. After twenty enc he could
vote, drink, and chew tobacco upon pay
ment of license and the same privi-
lege should be extended to strong mind
ed women. Some mel whose constitu-
tions entirely unfit them for potations,
should be refused a license altogether
They are "non-insurable' Before TAX
ing out his license citizen should have
time to reflect; and as they would have
to pay in advance for the glorious privi-
lege, the reflection would be forced on
most people. 1t is true that with these
parchment privileges we should have a
titular nobility of drink; but lofty as
this aristocracy might be at night, and
in the wee sma' hours of morning, the
next day it will be abject enough
There need be no fear to our Democrat
ic institutions from class privileged to
these infations, as the penalty of such
"depressions Such a law in this State
might be beneficial.

full dissection of the Father of his
Country, by that brutal, coarse, yet
able writer. While rejecting the SUM-
ming up of the celebrated infdel, the
mere fact that the great Virginia Col
onel could thus be assailed by cotem-
porary, awakened the suspicion that he
did not know George Washington. l
Investigated for myself, and discovered
that he was born of woman; that he
had once been young, and danced with
girls and rode after the fox; that ho
was vain of his person, proud of his
horse, passionate in his temper, aristo-
cratic in his feelings. l learned that
he bowed in digni6ed manner, with
his hands behind him, to his guests at
levees, and when demonstrated by Tom
Jefferson, who suggested haud-shaking,
he replied "Shake hands No, sir! l

"Spiced Vinegar"

Here is New Orleans story, told by
one who saw the parties at the table:
Last summer while residing at New
Orleans, a youth who stood almost FIVE
feet eleven and three quarter inches in
his stockings, who hailed from some
where up the Wabash, was invited bya
friend to dine at the same house where
| was boarding. This was the hoosier's
first visit away from home, and he told
his friend who was in the produce
business, and had purchased his cargo
of corn, as they took-their seats at the
table that he expected he would show
him all the sights in town, as he wanted
to let the folks at home know about it.
The servant brought plate of soup,
and observing a gentleman nearly op-
posite put considerable catsup in l. .
dish, our hoosier pointed to bottle Of
pepper sauce and asked his neiShbor
what it was.
"Spiced vinegar" was the reply
oval, s'pose yer 'blige feller by
handin't along"
"Certainly," was the answer.
The hoosier took the bottle and COM
menced dosing into his soup, but as the
sauce did not flow very freely he took
out the cork, and at the same time OBJ
serving to his friend:
"Kindo' close folks yer stoppin' with
to put such plaguy little hole in that
to prevent feller takin much of the
stuff. l s'pose it comes high don't 2"
During the time he poured nearly n
wine glass full into his soup, and taking
his spoon he dipped it full together with
several peppers, and put it into his
mouth. The next instant he spirited
the contents of his spoon across the
table into French gentlelnan's bosom,
and bawled out:
"Water water! Snakes and wildcats
give me some water Pm all fire.
"By gar sair," exclaimed the French
man in a rage, jumping up from the
table, "you have spoiled my shirt, my
vest sair. Spoil everything sair. BY
gar / shall see about this sair."
In the mean time the hoosier had
seized pitcher containing water, and
taken tremendous draughu. Setting
down the pitcher he eyed the French
man for moment, and then yelled:
"Dod blast yer old shirt S'pose I
was goin to burn my inwards out for
you or yer shirt yer mean cussl
Come down to the boat and I'll give you
one of mine"
1t was with much difficulty that the
boosters friend could allay the French
mans anger and set matters straight
again. But ever after '.spiced vinegar
was a BY WORT, and sufficient to set q
whole table in roar
