CHILDREN GONE.

Sometimes, when the day grows dusky,
And the stars begin to come,
When the children from their playing
Come, singing and laughing, home,
1 think, with a sudden sorrow,
AS they press through the open door,
OF the faces of the children
That we never shall see any more.
Children in snow-white caSketS,
Laid away to their rest,
Their still hands lying faded
Over the pulseleSs breast;
Children who came and tarried,
AS il were. only for night,
And passed, at the break of the morning,
On q journey far out of sight.
On long and lonely journey,
Where we could not help or hold,
For we saw but the closing eyel1ds,
TIE fading of locks of gold;
And knew how now was but silence,
Where once had been prattle and song,
And only chill and a shadow,
Where was sunshine the whole day long.
Away from our care and caresses,
"God knows where they are" we say,
And we know that we tarry behind them
Only a little way;
For we, too, haste in our Journey.
And we know it will not be long
Till we come to the city eternal,
The rest and rapture of song.
Yet oft, when the sun Is setting
In unspeakable splendor OF light,
And the shadows stretch into the night T;
When the children, tired with their play
Come In through the open door,
/ think of the dear. dear children.
Who never will come any more.

Window Gardening.

There is love OF plants so inter-
woven in the make up of many people,
that it will crafty itself under the
most adverse surroundings. To those
who are blessed with this loyevfor it
is blessing-no brick and mortar of
the city, nor newncss of a backwoods
dwelling prove any obstacle. As we
20 about the streets of our large
towns, we admire the we'll kept places,
put not the less do we stop to note
the humble efforts at horticulture
that are made upon window sills, or
upon some favoring roof. What
pleasure often grows in discarded
saucepan or other domestic utensii,
which, having served we'll in its proper
sphere, is gloriGed by being the home
of balsam or an asteri In. making
up the Horticultural Annual, we
were obliged to omit an article on
window gardening, prepared for it by
Mr.. John Henderson, the well known
florist of Flushing, l.. He-says:
Another mode of having plants
and flowers, and for Spring and Sum-
mer the best of all, is to have boxes
neatly made of wood to fit on the OUT
side of the window, and then filed
Nth Towering plants, thus making
kind of miniature garden, and at the
same time forming an excellent screen.
Shades may be dispensed with, as the
plants are sufficiently close to prevent
persons seeing into the room, but, at
the same time, not preventing those
inside from observing through the
foliage and flowers everything taking
place outside. These boxes can be
made quite plain or ornamental, and
afterwards painted light green.
Stocks, scarlet geraniums, and mig
nonette succeed we'll, grown in boxes
of this description The outer edges,
next the street, should be planted
with the pretty blue lobelia, verbenas,
and other trailing plants, which, fall
ing over the sides of the boxes, add
much to their effect The ends of the
boxes may be planted with morning
glories (ConUolvglus MAJOR, and ia
nary bird flower { Trop8ot1m pere-
grinun), to be trained on wires up
and around the windows.
Boxes of this kind are sold by the
London dealers ready stocked with
plants. They have a great advantage
over pots, as they do not dry out SO
readily, and they can be made much
more secure. The edging of the box,
shown in the engraving, can be readily
made of willow or rattan. Besides
the plants mentioned above, almost
any Of our annual and bedding plants
may be grown; water them as often as
may be needed, taking care to avoid
over watering. 5s

THE CONNECTICUT CAMPAIGN

The Republican papers of Connecticut pub
lish side by side the letters of Gov. Hawley
and Mr.. English to the wOrkngmen OF the
State, but the Democratic Journals refuse to
publish either. They seem to be equally AFRAID
of what Gov. Hawley says, and of what Mr.
English does not say. But we hear that gar
bled copies of the Governors letter are read at
Democratic meetings. In answer to this in
genious method of campaigning, we hope that
at Republican meetings Mr.. English's letter
will be read word for word. Its evasions
will do as much good to our Cause as the
manly utterances of Gov. Hawley.
Ex-GOv. Buckingham said Of Gen. Hawley
at the meeting at Norwich this week: " rise
"to introduce to yOu man who, when the
"frst gun was fired upon Sumter, enlisted as
ga private in the First Regiment, hut was
commissioned as Lieutenant; when the Cap
"tain of his company was promoted, he was
commissioned as captain; who was of the
franks aud among the ranks, drilling
"his men and habituating them to the
Requirements of their new profession. lie
"went with his company to the front, was
"present mt the first battle, and, although the
regiment was in confusion, was at the head
"of his command, shouting steady! steady!
"Aftcr his return from the three months
"seryice. he reGntered as Colonel in the
V Seventh and rose to be Major-General of
"vounteers. and in camp and in the
eight he showed his devotion to those
"principles which he volunteered to defend"
This is the record of the Republican candidate,
and the principles he supported during the war
arr of equal importance now. Gen. Garfield,
in his speech at Hartford, on Thursday even
ing, clearly showed that vote for Mr. English
was Il vote against the North, and an Endorsement
of the treachery of the Democratic party dur
ing the war. Mr.. English is the candidate of
tlat party, and it is to-day precisely what it was
in 1864, when it declared the War for the Union
n failure and that it should be abandoned.
But two weeks remain for the Republicans
to canvass Connecticut thoroughly They must
work hard to put the facts before the people,
for their opponents are working with unpre-
ccdentcd energy to keep the facts ont of the
/ CamDaigu.

Mr.. smythe is described by Mr.. Hulburd as
"a vampire sucking out the lfe-blood OF the
Commerce of New York" and the Custom
House under his administration is declared TO

he will obtain much aid from his oath that he has
always been a Democrat. Mr. Fernando WOod,
yesterday speaking for the Democracy dlsowhed
the Collector, and even went so far as to say
that if the charges were true the President
would almost deserve impeachment if he did
not remove Mr. Smythe. The resolution Of

the investigation of series of frauds which the

pDT NORTH


The World hopes that we will "see the pro-
"priety of replying frankly to sundry queries"
which it proceeds 20 put to us respecting Col.
North, Levi Cohn, and MOrvcn NJ. Jones, who
were arrested nj Washington in October, 1864,
and committed to the Old Capitol prison on n
charge of procuring fraudulent soldiers votes
for tho DemScrutic ticket in ,he election then
pending.
The World is, we trust, unaware of the fact
that we are now respondents in a suit for libel
brought against us by one of the persons above
named, for publishing what we believed to be
the truth with regard to the matter in question.
We should hate to suspect that our neighbor
is being used to entrap rs into admissions, to
be used OH the trial of this suit, or into state
mcnts which may be made the foundation of
other suits And yet We are not absolutely
sure it is not; for a Democratic lawyer of this
City, after writing and inducing us to publish
a very thorough vindicatou of his client from
a charge which We had been misled into max
ing-a vindication which we rendered more
complete by an editorial affirmance of all its

rlRnY TINDLCATTON.

About the middle of the year 1863 n very
heavy call was made on our State aud City, Ill
common with others, for recruits to the Union
armies. Gen. +. 3. Spinoa opened at Lafay-
cite Hall a recruiting office; and the Board Of
Supervisors offered $500 bounty for each re-
cruit. But there was no money wherewith to
pay these bounties, and no authority to raise
or even borrow any; while recruits were, very
naturally, reluctant TO await the passage OF the
necessary act bv the ensuing Legislature. Their
terms were cash down, or no go. In this dl-
lemma, Mr. Hawley ID. Clapp advanced money
To the extent of some $4,000; his agent on
the spot taking from each recruit an assign
mcnt of his bounty claim and paying Inn the
amount less SIS, which was his compensation
for making the advance. (Thc Sl5 was shared
between blr. c. and his agent) White recruits
were allowed sl5 "hand d-money" over and above
their $500 bounty. SO that they received their
$500 unbrokcn but Blacks had no hand
"money;" so the S1j came out of their $500
each And there were of course all manner OF
private arrangements between the several re-
cruts and those who brought them mp and
"put them through" whereby their $500 was
apportioned not much TO the recruits advan-
tage.
Soon, clamor was raised that the recruits
were fleeced and swindlcd by Wholesale: on
the strength of which, Mr.. Clapp was suddenly
jerked up and flung into Fort Lafayette, where
he was kept several months Yithon.. trial or
investigation. At lepsthi. he was thrust out;
and, being still under prosecution, he, instead
Of giving bail, deposited the am6unt required
in the MeGhhafiCs And Clerks Savings Bank;
commencing a suit therefor, in order to bring
the main question to issue az promptly and
squarely as might be.
The case was referred to Hamilton W. Rob-
inson, esq, before whom it has been fully heard
able counsel having done their utmost TO
convict Mr.. Clapp of some wrong or cuipability
in the premises. Mr.. Robinson, after hearing
all parties, has made report, which closes as
