HAIL TO THE CHIEF WHO IN ST.
LENCE ADVANCES.
BY STANLEY WATERLOO

Hail TO the chief who in silence advances,
The champion of freedom, the chosen Of fame,
Wherever the sunbeam of liberty glances,
theme are his actions. watchword his name,
From the Pacfc's sand,
To the htantic's strand,
The heart of each patriot beats in his cause,
He who with ready steel,
Struck for the nations veal,
Maintaining her rights and uphodng her laws
The stream that can wrest with the force of giant
The rock from its bed, rushes silently on;
The man with his iron will, fearless, reliant
Dealeth not in vain boasts ere his labor is done,
His no malicious tongue,
Working the country wrong,
Dividing our efforts supporting our foes
His was middle course,
Going from bad to worse,
Refusing to aid where he dare not oppose
When war over all spread its darkening pinions,
And thousands were bleeding our country to save /;
When our flag debased by the traitorous minions
And the land was enguiphed in the terrible wave /;
Firm as the mountain rock,
Proof to the tempest's shock,
Boldly be stood with his resolute host.
Vanly the battles brunt
Dashed on his iron 'front.'
The traitors were broken, their victory lost
Though the strife with the bayonet and bullet is ended
Yet again to triumph he's leading us on,
To uphold the cause he 80 nobly defended,
Aud by wisdom preserve what by valor he
Peace" is our battle cry,
"Peace and equality )"
While from each Southern hill, valley, and plain,
Filling the silent air,
Soldiers who perished there
Arising exhort us to conquest again.
When Autumns arroyed in the robes of November,
And the struggle for justice and liberty done,
Then shall the traitors have cause to remember,
The battle they lost and the battle we won.
Telling the peoples will,
Proving them loyal still
Then shall the spirit of Freedom arise;
Say with a mighty voice,
''Grant is the nations choice!"
Ring the glad tidngs aloud to the skies

Valencias. Denas, and Lexas from Spain,

rasins, known as Sutanas, we receive from
! Smyrna, and IA everybody knows, these are
devoid of stones, or more properly, seeds.
This seet,less form has been brought about
by a higher state of cultivation, and usually
fetchcs higher price in the market. a
common, cheap fruit is also imported from
Smyrna, quite the reverse of the little Sui
tana, being of a very dark color, ana hav-
ing very large seeds. The little, black fruits,
which in a culinary sense are uf so much
value, and which common usage and the
corruption of n word has taught us to call
Currants, are likewise Il small, seedless variety
of grape. The word currant is derived from
Curinth which was originally the principal
place of its cultivation. If the ancient
Corinth no longer supplies us with the bulk
of this most useful fruit, the whole of our
imports are still brought from the numerous
islands Of the Archipelago and the neigh
boring shores of Asia Minor. Good Words,

DEATH OF ROBERT p. KINo.-It is with

shared throughout this city, that we an
nouuce the sudden death OF Robert P. King,
which occurred at his residence last Sunday
evening" from typhoid fever. MIR. King
was the senior partner OF the firm of King
& Baird, and one of the leading publishers
aud printers of this city, and by his sterling
integrity, liberal enterprise and eousclen-
tious attention to business, had won the es,

Mr.. King was prominently identified with
the Republican party from its organization
A firm patriot during the dark hours OF
civil war, he contributed efficient aid in pro-
curing enlistments and in urging our citizens

tanning our armies in the field, We had
few more valuable citizens than Mr, King, ol
whose loss wsuld be more deeply fsltsPSsss

MARRYING BLINDFoLD.-The facility with
which numbers of respectable women are
duped into matrimony by rascaily adven.
turers is marvellous. An agreeable exterior
knack of small talk and u little dexterity
in tue art of tlattery, seem to be all that is
necessary to procure an unprincipled scoun
drc an unlimited number of wives. The
other day man was arrested for bigamy in
Western city, at the suit OF his sixth
spouse, and it. was stated that he had netted
! by his half dozen cOunubial speculations the
neat little sum Of twelve thousand dollars.
/ OF course, one feels sorry for the victims
but if women of respectablity WW wed un-
known vagabonds after short acquaintance,
people OF common sense and common pru-
dence cannot help minging little contempt
! with their commisseration. In matter of
such vital importance to her happiness as
marriage, a woman ought at least to exercise
as much judgment and discretion as in pur-
chasing dress pattern; and yet had any one
of the six wives referred to looked half as
closely into the antecedents of her suitor as
we will warrant she did into the quality and
style of her wedding furbelows, she had been
saved the modification of her anomalous
position and the loss of her cash. Beware
ye impulsive maidens and widows, of larcen
ious lovers whose tender protestations are
prompted not by Cupid but cupidty.
