Longfellow.

Let us take few notes of the poets
personal appearance, as he passes us a
morning on his way to the Square.
A man above the middle height, and ais
thuogh not stout, solid and well proportion
ed head now a little bent, a noble, poet
head, with long wavering hair, nearly
white, reaching almost to the shoulder ;
forehead high and square, the hair brushed
we'll back blue brilliant, genial eyes-true
eyes of a poet, which observe every thing
a long nose, long mustache, which creeps
down and joins flowing white beard not
too spruccly arranged carelessly and nat
urally disposed the whole ccuntenance
strik ngly handsome, active acidc-atcake,
beaming with unusual intelligence of late
patliarchial, the face of a poet philosopher,
fine and hitherto impossible study for the
arts, for no artist has yet fixed Just por
trait OF Longfellow on canvas His face
needs the touch of an old master Titan
would have done it worthily.. The broad
forehead wrinkled rather with sorrow than
great age, for the poet is not yet beyond
the prime of hte, he is much Younger than
he looks to be. But it is very different,
and more patrlarchai, certainly a tar noblcr
face than one sees in srontispieces, repre-.
sentlng him in early manhood. The dress
is neat and plain tasteful, tar from oSten
tatlous, by no means careless, or of the sill
ly romantic ByIonlc order. 1t is of that
character which is not noticeable in any
way the highest art, as we conceive, OF
dressing.
The family of the poet consists of two
sons, who have arrived at manhood, and
three bright, merry, charming little dau
ghters. The reader has not f rgotten the
terrible accident by which some years ago
MIR. Longteliow lost a beautiful and uni>
versally beloved wite-a lady of family, of
most graceful culture, and kindness of heart
which will long be remembered by the
neigh borhood in which she was the most
shining ornament. Since that frightful
event, the husband has been a changed
man. Those who remember him in his
happy married life-who recolect the Sc
NAL exuberance of his spirits, the cheerful
ness OF his disposition, the warmth of his
welcome, the bright wit which flowed con-
stantly, the bouyancy of soul upon which
shone the sunshine of life, and thwart
which cloud never seemed 20 pass, note
with grief the expression Of settled melan-
holy, the love OF solitude, and the quickly
rown white locks which one sees to day.
Still Longfellow is not so far changed but
the kindness of heart, the old warmth of
friendship, the old love of the bright and
beautiful things of the world and of letters
still exists. At times, and not seldom,
that noble and venerable face lights up
with cheerfulness, tie sparkling brilhancy
of speech comes out, and it is evident that
sorrow has caused no decline of intellectual
vigor, no bitterness of temper elimination
in the old love of mankind. London

dress; complimenting. the regiment upon
its fine appearance and expressing the be-
lief that the enthusiasm, good order and
determination of the intelligent people who
had thus come together, was indicative of
favorable conclusion of the effort now
being ma de to restore our distracted country
to its former condition of peace, unity and
prosperity. His address was pleasing in
manner and able in matter, giving assur
ance to the p ople that the right man had
been selected to represent The important
inter, ST. Of this district in Congress.
After Mr.. Villas ceased speaking, Pres t
STRiNGHAM was called for. ne thanked
the boys for the honor shown him, compli i.
mened them on their appearance and
hoped to SEYMOUR of them
L. Z. FINCH, Esq. was then loudly called
for
Mr.. Finch made an of-hand speech,
full of points, and was heartily cht cred by
the Boys" He said some of The Radical
thought this demonstration meant war !!
Mr.. T. said il did mean War upon Unequal
Taxation, war on irresponsible currency !;
war upon extravaganza; war upon disunion;
war upon everything inconsistent with the
interests of the people, and the principles
and purposes OF the Democratic party.
Mr.. FINCH's remarks were timely, appro-
pirate, and heartily responded to.
COL BoUCK was then called for. The
Col. was silent, but the Boys would hear
from 'the head of the army" BoUCK,
BoUCK and BoUcK bad to come forward,
but only to excuse himself He was doing
military duty, and had the precedent of an
illustrious man for being silent. So, excuse
was Granted
After three times three for SEYMOUR and
BLAIR, three times three for Villas, and
three times three for the Union, the Boys
filed into line, marched back in order to
High street, and returned on Agoma, to
their Head Quarters, where they paraded,
received compliments, and orders, from
their commanding officer, and the several
companies returned to their quarters all
delighted with the result of the glorious
Democratic demonstration.
1t was display, such as is seldom equal
led in any city, and by far the mot com
plete and creditablc We have ever witness
ed in Wisconsin.

1T IS LEAP YEAR, GIRLS !

1t is leap year, girls Hurray
Let throw up our caps the men,
leap year girls, what say
TO jump at the chance while we can.
All we who are silly and vain,
All We who are brasen and bold,
Step back for the chance is but enc
For the bashful, the simple, and oN
Just think of it, modest young girls, q
Such chance to be married, say
just brush up your hair and false curls,
For the object is worthy the way.
Don't blush and lock simp.e. and shy,
And bob round some corner to hide,
When the masculine gender goes by
Shout out in your womanly pride.
And tweak them by hair, ear, or nose,
Mind, but do not go down ON one knee,
just show them the thorn's not the rose,
The rose they might crush, don't you see /!
And recount all your qualities rare
Both of feminine gender and male,
How you know the first style for your hair
And c.n vote at the poles just as well.
Hold on, until II ev say yes,
Remember the obje t in view
Just think of the blessing, to bles,
A life, with s husband for you.
All We, who are scraggy and thin,
All ye, who are Grabbed and sour,
Step up for now is the time,
This treasure of all to secure.
Be sure that beauty's your choice
Don't think of the inner man,
Don't look again and think twice
Befose you hop from the fire to the pan.
Be sure that his hats On three hairs,
Be sure that his head is quite small,
For tits only man without brains
May answer our suit at ALL

aud as they had never seen a steamboat
they were frightened. My sister Nancy is
a girl. | don't know whether she likes to-
bacco or not. There is a yonng man
named Leroy who comes to see her. l
guess she likes Leroy. He was standing on
the steps one night, and he had cigar in
his mouth and he said lie didn't know as
she would like it: and she said Leroy
the perfume is agreeable" But the next
morning when my big brother Tom lighted
his pipe, Nancy said, Get out of the house

How to Sleep in Church.

Assuming that it is duty, let us con
slider the manner of performing it. Like
all Christian practices, there should be uni
formity in the manner:
Frst-lt is an improper manner, in per-
forming this duty, to nod, and for the
plain reason that it attracts to much atten-
ton. We are everywhere taught to avoid
Ostentatious display in our whole worship.
The Pharlsees were condemned for praying
at the corners of the streets, that they
might be seen of men. On the same prin-
ciplc, the nodding worshiper is making too
public display of his devotions.
Second-Nor is it proper to snore in the
performance of this duty-partly for the
foregoing reasons but mainly because it is
direct infraction of the golden rule. Sup
pose, for instance, that your next neighbor
is asleep, by your snoring he will be dis
turbed, probably awakened This is not
doing unto others as you would they should
do unto you.
Thrd-It is wrong to iDjure one s health
while offering worship; and all physicians
admit that to sleep with the head thrown
back and mouth wide open is liable to pros
duce sore throat and hoarseness. Besides,
flies sometimes get into the mouth on such
occasions, and by their injurious explora.
tons tickle the delicate membranes and
cause horrible stcrnutations and coughing
which is very injurious to health.
Fourth-To sleep with the head resting
upon the arms of the worshi?cr and the
face buried in the cuffs of his coat, is the
most improper way of offering sleep wor-
ship. First, because it is also Injurious to
health, and mainly, It is direct violation
of the Scriptures which commands US to
let our light so shine tina. men may profit
by our example. In this case it is imposi-
BILE to know whether the Christian worship
er is asleep or awake. 1t is positive case
of lukewarmness-neither the one thing
nor the other.

Increase ........ ........ 1856, $40, 403. 33
In Tina of peace, then, in the short
space of three years, the public debt has
been increased Sl56, SIS, 403 49, That is
an increass of more than $50, 100000 a
year. Of course, just in proportion as the
debt is increased, the peoples taxes are
increased. If you are in favor of increas.
ing the debt and increasing the taxes, vote
for Grant. 1t is the party and the men
that support Grant who have thus been
increasing the public debt and the peoples
xes.-Quincy (W.1 Herald
Yes, keep these facts before the people.
Let the men who admire Grant for his glo~
rious record during the war look at them.
Let the soldiers who desire to pay tribute
of respect to their old leader by elevating
him to the highest office in the gift of
grateful people, pause, and see what will
be the result to them, to their country, and
to the world, of thus keeping in power the
party and the men who support Grant"
Gen. Grant is not the first, or even the
second choice of the Radicals They
would not touch him with forty>roi pole,
if they had any hope that they could elect
one of their own men, true blue and full>
blooded Radical, to tie Presidency. They
hope on the strength of his personal popu-
larity, won on the field of stern conflict, and
amid the hardships and perils of bloody
war, to elevate him to the Presidency, and
thereby secure their own perpetuation in
the places where they have so ruthlessy
squandered the resources and jeopardizcd
the credit of the nation. Out with them,
friends, fellow citizens and soldiers of the
Republic, even if in doing SO you are oh.
liged to strike down your own favorite.
1t is not with General Grant that the
Democracy are waging this contest. With
him as the defender Of their government
in its hour Of danger they have no contro>
versy. But with the men who protracted
the war unnecessarily, whose shoddy con-
tracts, corrupt intrigues, and want of thrift
while it was in progress, permitted the na>
tional debt to swell in INDUSTRIOUS proper
tons, and whose extravaganza since has
caused it to increase when it ought to di>
minish-With these men we have an ac-
count to settle which can only be satisfac-
torily adjusted by hurting them neck and
heels from the positions in which they have
most wickedly trampled upon the interests
and rights Of the American people.

SoLAR.-The following has been going the

keep the sun dire thy over his head-in twenty
four hours he would necessarily arrive at has
place of departure, finding of coarse, that it

example that a line Of stations be located di-
rectly on his line of travel at distance from
each other of ten miles. Enquiring the tine
of day at each station as he progresses, he is
told twelve O'Clock Monday noon. Yet ma =
ifestly at some station he must be informed
that It IS Tuesday noon. Query-at which
one, and could there be discrepancy Of

not more than ten miles apart.

Radical Testimony.

Soon after the close of the war, the New
York Times, leading radical journal, and
an ardent supporter of GRANT, in speaking
Of the radica! leaders, said:
They have sustained the war, not as
means of restoring the Union, but to free
the slaves, seize the lands, crush the spirit,
destroy the rights, and blot out forever the
political freedom of the people inhabiting
the Southern States"
Nor is that all. In regard to the real
object of the war, so far as the radical
lead ers are concerned, the Times said
"They have sought, steadily and consis-
tently, their conquest, subjugation and ex-
might found Oh them new empire based
upon their own ideas, and to be ruled by
their own counsels."
Let it be borne in mind that it is from no
rebel newspaper, from no newspaper that
has ever sympathized with or sustained the
rebels in their insane effort to overthrow
the government, that these extracts are
taken. They are the words of newspa-
per that helped elect ABRAHAM LINCOLN
to the presidency, and afterwards sustained
him in prosecuting the war for the subju-
gallon Of the rebellion, and that is now CO.
operating with the republican party in try
ing to elect GRANT and CoLFAx. There
are thousands of republicans, however,
who, adopting the conclusions of the
Times, have cut loose from the party. and
will vote for SEYMOUR and BLAIR on the
Sd of November.
