WASHINGTON, January 3l.-President
Johnson is to declare TO Great Britain
the American ultimatum. The tergivcr-
satiun Of Secretary Seward is Of avail no

legitimate demands which have been too
tneckly urged by the Secretary of. State
upon the British Cabinet, are to be en-.
forced at whatever hazard. The new
British Minister, Mr.. Thornton, will
probably be presented to President John
son on Tuesday. Although the'address,

The TINE TO ADVERTISE When buy
ers are reluctant, sellers must be active.
It is neither cheap nor sensible to sit
still behind your counter and wait for
the hustle of trade to revive When bu-
siness is dull. that is the very time to
ADVERTISE In the first place, that is
when you most need to advertise; and,
in the second, that is when people de-
vote most time to reading the newspa-
pers, and when your advertisement con-
sequently is most generally seen.

with US that this exquisite, little poem
fills an appropriate place
Rosebud lay in her trunllle bed,
With her small hands folded above her
head;
And fixed her innocent eycs On me.
While thoughtful shadow came over their
glee,
Mamma" s;1e said, "vhcn go 70 sleep,
pray TO the Father nay sou. 10 keep;
Aud he comes and carries il far away,
To the beautiful home where his angels
stay;
I gather red roses, and lilies so white,
I sing with the angels through all the long
night;
And when, in the morning, I wake from my
sleep.
He gives back the soul that I gave him to
AMI oily remember, like beautiful dreams,
The garands of lilies, the wonderful
streams"
