"a high, black, searching wind was
whirling through the streets and along
the levee. She stood there shivering, for
the high wind, blowing straight from the
wintry regions Of ice bound Canada, pierced
through her slender covering" Vol. l.,

We will close this comedy of errors by
transcribing, without comment, the con-
Guiding lines of an article on Benjamin
Franklin, entitled Love passages in the
Life of of Philosopher which appear
ed IN Once Week, numbe- for June 16,
1866 (new series, vol. l., D. 653):
"a few DAYS afterward Franklin en-
barked with Richard, at Havre, for Amer
ica and, as is moro generally known as
matter of history, upon his return to Phil
aGelphia was elected Governor of that
state " (qu. the state of Philadelphia ? },
" and shortly aftcrward president of the
United States.''
This gross ignorance on the part Of ed
ucated persons IN England is owing in
great part to the exclusive attention tc the
classics and mathematics which character
ICES the schools, colleges and universities
of Great Britain-an Ignorance to which
it is said the English owe the loss of the
fine island Of Java. The sto-y is that the
minister by whom it was ceded, in 1916,
to Holland, was under the impression that
it was too small aud insignificant a place
to contend about.--Lpp'ncot Jldgoz:ae.

Wearily I glance about
Ger an invalid's dull room;
Then through curtain folds look out
Der a sea Of orchard bloom.
Apple blossoms, snowy white,
All their centcrs pearly pink,
Cherry blossoms, feather light,
In the soft winds wave and wink.
Rosy blossoms of the peach,
Creamy blossoms of the pear,
Pluny blossoms of the plum
Overload the dreamy air.
Berry blossom bending low,
On her breast drop of gold.
Tells a pansy growing near,
What her tender leaves unfold.
Whispers of the radiant fruit
That shall brighten day by day,
To a crimson, luscious prime.
When her petals fall away.
And the pansy, dark and still,
Wastes tiny, fragrant sigh
On the languid flood Of scents
That goes sweeping softly by.
Thou, like berry blossom white,
With heart as rich as gold,
MUSES. in supreme delight
Ger the fruit thy hopes enfold.
Drcam'st with dewy lips and eyes,
Saying to thy soul each hour,
This days sweet expectant bliss
Only in the promise flower"
God be kind to thee, my love,
Guard from storm-blight and decay.
All that to thy trembling heart
Lies concealed within To-day!

NUMBER Al.
The Platform Of Grant and Col
fax.

The real platform of Grant and Colfax
is to be looked for elsewhere than IN the
convention which nominated them. Uese
are some of the planks Gen. Grant opposed
to the freedom Of the press:
"HEAD QUARTERS ARMIES Us.
1sHINGToN, FEB. II, 1856.
You will please send to these head quar-
ters, as soon as practicable, and from time
to time thereafter, such copies Of Dewspa-
pers published in your department as con-
tain sentiments of disloyalty and hostility
to the government or any Of its branchea,
and state whether such PAPER is habltuo
in its utterance of such sentiment. The
persistent publication of articles calcnla-
ted to keep up hostility of feeling be-
tween the people of the different sections
of the country cannot be tolerated. he
information is called for with a view to
their suppression, which will be done
from these head quarters.
BY order Of
Lieutenant-Gen Grant.
Z. :. BOWERS.
Assistant Adju.ant-G eneral." "
1t will be seen that General Grant pro-
poses to run the newspaper press OF tie
country. and to allow nothing to be pub
lishcd that don't agree with the issues OF
his royal highness. But here is another
beautiful plank:
