A LONDON STREET SINGER.

woman made her appearance every
night at ten o'clock 10 one of the West
End squares. and that after a superb
vocal display she disappeared, no one
knew how or where, exactly as the
clock struck eleven. The Sunday
Times professed to give sreoia and ex
elusive particulars of this anonymous
nightingale, as she was termed, and
even went so far us to hint broadly
that she was a celebrated vocalist mar
ried to penniless lord, who took this
novel mode of enlarging an insufficient
iucome. Of course, this piece of fam
lily history proven to be an invention,
I had the good fortune to hear her
once in Berkley Square. Seeing a
large crowd waiting id an expectant at
titude, Just where fashionable hotel is
located, inquired The cause and was
told that the mysterious vocalist, the
nightingale, was about to show her
self. As the clock struck ten, lady,
dressed in deep mourning, and having
the upper part Of her face concealed by
thick black veil, glided forward and
took her place in the centre of space
purposely kept clear for her. [ deci-
ded, from noticing the beautiful forma-
ton of the mouth and chin, and the
finely rounded fair throat, that she
must be both young and more than
commonly attractive. She was accom-
panied by little boy, also in deep
mourning, who carried an open reti-
cule Without delay, the nighten-
gale commenced q ballad, and sang
with such good taste and feeling, SO as
to hold the miscellaneous crowd in
mute and rapt attention. The song
was followed by several favorite selec-
tions from popular operas, all exhibit
ing the talent and culture Of an accom-
plished artist.
A collection was made 4; few gave cop
pers-all who could afford it gave silver
The little boy sent in his bag to the
hotel the visitors, and it returned APP
parently heavy with precious coins.
The sum total must have been consid-
cradle, and this I was informed was
the usual reward of the hours work.
When eleven struck, the unknown
stopped her song, made a slight cour-
tesy, and threaded her way quickly
through the crowd Her real history I
afterward learned was pitiful one.
She was the daughter of celebrated
teacher of music, and had beeu educa-
ted for the stage she married against
the wishes Of her parents, clerk in a
post office, who, being detected in the
then objectionable sin of uttering a
forged bank-note, Was tried, convicted
and hanged. With three little help
less infants, and no means of earning
sufficient income, the bereaved young
widow adopted the plan of making her
fine voice and scientific attainments
furnish the means of subsistence. The
close of the story is more hopeful.
Her beauty, misfortunes, and accom-
plishments, attracted the attention Of q
clergyman in one of the eastern coun-
tries. He married her, and she disap-
peared forever from public view

ceive gratifying that our
adopted German fellow-citizens will
vote almost in n solid phalanx for Grant

states that many Of the principal bank
ers and merchants In this State, who
have hitherto been strong Democrats,
are now working zealously for the Re-
publican nominees, because they be-
liere that national ruin would be the
consequence of a Democratic victory.
These German inanciers have hitherto
persuaded large numbers Of their rela-
tives and friends in the fatherland to
invest their savings in our collaborating
bonds. They now witness q deliberate
aud expressed determination on the part
OF the Democratic leaders to rspudlate
our solemn obligations, place them in n
wrong light before their kindred, and
defraud tho latter. Such q spectacle
can but have an all.powerful influence

clear of the Democratic camp. The

German vote of that city and vicinity
will be far moro decidedly Republican
than ever before"

Stick TO HIN.-We have o record Of
q colloquy between q gentleman and his
son, both lawyers, the father having re.
tired in easy circumstances to n coun-
try place, some ten miles away from the

Sunday morning the young gentleman,

they regularly attended. The fther
said /:
"My son, | am delighted, and so ia
your dear mother, that you are going to

While the conversation was going on,
a tall friend Of the son came up, and
Familiarity addressing him by his Chris
tian name, said, before the father:
81 have got tho bar open, so we can
have brandy and water whenever we
want it,"
The friend observing the solemn coun-
tenance of the father, beat a hasty re-
treat. When he was gone, the father
put up his hands and said
"My son, / could not have believed
this Of you Look at your mother, and
observe how she feels the wickedncsS."
After a minute of dead silence, the
father said
"Who is that bad companion Of
yoursT"
Well, father, il | must tell you, he is
my best client, and the richest man
In town."
The old man t%hcrcupon slapped hi,
son on the shoulder and said

is asking for the votes Of the Union
soldiers, l would ask these soldiers to
carefully weigh the following:
What party was it that opposed the
bill providing for the issue Of rations at
the commencement Of the war?
What party was it who, at the time
when our soldiers most needed cncour-
agement, said: nNot another mnn or
another dollar for this warp
What party was it that, when our
army needed reinforcements, opposed
recruiting and the draft, and melted
riots?
What party wal It that DISTINGUISHED

are inmates of the National Military
Asylum Soldiers Home), at Dayton,
Ohio? THESE men have a permanent
home here, and are, under the Consti-
tuition and laws of the State of Ohio,

country, is not entitled to vote, who 10
Some rebel, l suppose.
What party is it that is now assassi-
mating Union men every day Tor al night

What party is doing oil this and is Mt

GENERAL SicKLEs, in response to a
sereuade some evenings since at Sara
toga, said : "Tho only state Of peace
worth securing was that condition un-
der which the humblest Union soldier
could build his cabin in South Carolina
and float the old starry flag from its
roof tree, and wear himself his old
blue coat when he went out to his
toll, and yet no ono would dare
to harm q hair of his loyal head"
That is the peace for which General
Grant contends, while the peace which
the Democracy demands is that which
shall exist when every loyal man, and
every man who carries a cNrpet-b"g'
shall have been banished from the Int
slave States, and the negroes virtually
reduced again to bondage.

How TO "HEpaE" on II PREsI-
DENTAL ELEcrIoN.-A subscriber, who
desires to bet on the election Of Grant
to the extent Of five thousand dollars,
inquiries Of us whether we can give him
some point on the other side by which
he can safely "hsdge," in other words,
make some counter bet, which will, in
some sort, protect his money. Our
friend i, too prudent. We would not
advise him to hedge Mt all, but II he
wants to make his betting Ms nearly. II
sure thing as possible, we should advise
him, after laying out his FIVE thousand
on Grant, to invest about one hundred
in buying Confederate bonds: He can
secure about ten thousand dollars worth
of them for about the sum we mention,
and if Seymour and Blair should be
elected, they would soon be worth h''y
cents on the dollar Wilkes SP'rd.

A southern opinion Of Northern Demo-

CEot8s
When the Charleston Mercury printed
the annexed picture of the Northern
Democracy, its managers felt quite sure
that the party which it thus malignea
would swallow any amount Of abusive
denunciation il sugar-coated with IN
expectation of recovering lost power.
What do our German and Irish voters
think of the character thus given to
them by their brother Democrats at
Charleston? Read:
"Our women are all conservative,
moral, religious and senSitively modest,
and abhor the North for its infdelity,
gross immortality, RIGHTEOUSNESS, ana
chy and ag%rarianism. IT'S they and the
clergy who lead and direct the disunion
movement. 1t is q gross mistake to
suppose that abolition alone is the
OF discussion between the North aud
the South. The Cavaliers, ~JacobitcS
aud H%ugueuots, who settled the South,
naturally hate, contomu and despisc
the Puritans who settled the North.
The former arc master races-the latter
u slave race and the descendants of tho
| Saxon serfs.
"We are the most aristocratic people
In the world. Pride of caste and color
and privilege make every white man an
a~ristocrat in feeling. Aristocracy is the
only safeguard Of liberty, the only
power watchful and strong enough to
exclude monarchical ~despotisms. At
the North the progress and tendency
of opinion is to pure democracy, less
government, anarchy and a%grarianism.
Military despotism is far preferable to
Northern democracy, agr"rianism, inf
deity and free love.
"Our enemies, the stupid, sensual,
ignorant masses of the North, who are
as foolish as they are d%epraved, could
not read the signs OF the times, did not
dream of disunion, but rushed on as
hcediessly as o greedy drove of hungry
hogs, at the call Of their owners. They
were promised plumber, and find u fam
inc ; promised bread, and are given n
stone. Our enemies are starving and
di~sorganized. The cold, naked, hungry
masses are at war with their leaders.
They are mute, paralyzed, panic-strick-
en-, and have no plan Of action for tho
future
"Better, n thousand times better, to
come under the dominion of FREQ ne
groes or Of Gipsies than Of Yankees or
low Germans or Canadians. Gipsics
and free negroes have many amiable,
noble and generous traits /; the Yankees,
sauer-kraut Germans, filthy, whisky
drinking Irish and Canadians have
none. Senator Wade says, and Seward
too, that the North will absorb Canada.
They are half true the vile, sensual,
animal, brutal, infdcl, superstitious de-
mocracy of Canada and the Yankee
States will coalesce /; and Senator john
son of Tennessee will join them. But
when Canada and western Now York
and New England, and the whole beast
ly, puritanic, 'sauer-kraut,' free ne
gro, filthy, whisky-drinking Irish, inf
del, superstitious, licentious, Demo-
cratic population of the North become
masters Of New York-what then? Out
Of the city, the State of new York is
Yankee and p%uIitanical, composed of as
base, unprincipled, superstitious, licen-
tious, agrarian and anarchical a popula-
ton as any on earth. Nay, we do not
hesitate to say it is the vilcst population
on earth"
