POETICAL.
Old Times.

There's beautiful song on the slumbrous air,
That drifts through the Valley Of dreams;
1t comes from cline wherc the roses were,
And 4 tuneful heart and light brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure and eyes of brown,
And snOw-wLite foreheads are there.
A glmmering Cross and glittering Grown,
A thorny bed and couch of down
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
A breath ofSpring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the quivering pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods.
A bubble of brooklets, scent of buds,
Bird warblers aud elamboring vines.
4 ROSY wreath and dimpled hand
A ring and sighted VOW
Three golden links Of broken band,
a tiny track on the snow-White sand
A tear and sinless brow.
There's tincture Of grief in The beautiful song
That s0b's on the slumbr0us air.
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down on the soul as it trembles along
From cline where the roses were.
We heard it first at the dawn Of day,
And il mingled with matin chimes,
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And It's melody howeth from far away,
And we call it now Old Times.

Sailed His Tea.

A plucky old fellow had a son, who was
student at one of our New England colleges,
and one day thought he would visit the insti-
tuition. lie did so, spent the day there, and
was invited to stop to tea. He accepted the
invitation, and upon receiving bis ration Of .he
celestial fluid, reached out aud seized bowl Of
what he supposed to be white sugar, but which
was in reality salt. With this continent he
proceeded to literally season his tea Present
ly he perceived, from the sly slances toward
him, and by the general whispering and sup
pressed snickering," that something was
wrong, and be rightly conjectured it was some
act of his; and when, upon his tasting the tea,
the " snicker expanded into " horse laugh" "
he hadn't much doubt as to what the matter
was. AsI have before stated, the old gent
didu'tlike to be laughed at, especially by par
Gel Of school-boys, so, with Spartan resolution
he worried down the abominable compound,
wishing no doubt, that those boys could be
made to drink a quart each before going to
prayers in the morning. Giving FINAL gulP,
and putting on a face that was intended to make
everybody think that he liked his dose Of
salts, he called for another cup, and upon re-
ccivingit, said to the head snickerer; Young
man. will you be kind enough to pass that
bowl Of salt?' The salt was passed, and amid
the most brea,hless silence. he dipped couple
Of tcaspoonfuls into bis tea, stirred it up, and
tasted it with look Of apparent satisfaction,
Why, Mr." said the young man oppo-
site him. do you drink salt?" Always
answered the plucky old man, with great en-
phasis, and in his plcasantest manner.

The Cost of our Army.

The New York Forld brings to light the
contrast between the expense of our regular
army and that of Great Britain. 1t says:
1.-The figures recently presented to the Brit
ish Parliament as the army and navy estimates
for the ensuing financial year, 1852, suggest
comparisons that are not at all favorable to the
claims of those politicians at Washington and
elsewhere, who have recently been blowing
trumpets in praise of the unexampled and rig
orous economy, retrenchment and reform eff
fected in our own military service through the
agency of the remarkable admi nstrstiye abili-
ties Of General Grant
After stating the light work which the U. S.
army has to perform in time of peace, as COM
pared with that of the British army scattered
all over the world, itshows from official reports
that the latter, 1876, $50 strong, costs only S565
a year, each man, whilst ours, 10000 electives,
costs 1915 each man per year
The cost of the British Navy, per man, is
81, $50 per year, whilst the L. S. Navy costs
us 81 $50 each man, nearly 1900 less

Ben. Butler and His Scripture.


The Washington correspondent Of the Chi
cago Times gives the following account Of the
origin Of Buffers scriptural quotation In
his opening speech in the impeachment case,
Butler desired to use the scriptural quotation,
Father, forgive them, for they know not what
they DO : but could not recall the name Of the
author He was preparing his speech in his
residence at the time, and one or two of his
friends were present, to whom he appealed for
information. One gentleman said it was used
by Daniel in the lions den; another, by Moses,
when he saw the Jews worshipping the golden
calf; another, by John the Baptist, crying in
the Wilderness
But Colonel Wits Shaffer cried out in his
usual oiI-hand way: "Why, you ID fools,
what are you talking about? Doyou want to
spoil the Generals great speech by your igno-
rance Of the Holy Scripture? I'm posted on
the Bible, | tell you twas that old fellow
that the Jews stoned, that used those words
old Stephen; that's the man that used them.
lie made the prayer Just before he breathed
his las:" " You're right, Willis said the Cen
eral " / recolect it now perfectly And 50
it was set down in the speech, and SO it was

1t is reported that Senator Fessenden has
said, openly and boldly, that be will not per-
lure himself to please party friends" The
more extreme Of the Radical papers have al
ready opened their batteries upon him as a
renegade and traitor. But are they not little
too fast in drawing this inference from that re-
mark? Do they not thereby concede that be

party? The conclusion strikes Us as good

NoT KU KLUxEs-A short time ago, says
the Richmond Wing, the Radical papers made
a great outcry against the Ku Kluxes, because
some Of the Senators had received threatening
anonymous letters. They called for an increase
Of the military forces in the South, and strin-
gent measures against the Ku Klux spectres
and all the Southern communities in which
mysterious operations should be carried on
We now learn from the same papers that Sen
ator GRIMES and half dozen other Senator'S
have received letters threatening them with
assassination if they vote for the acquittai oil
Mr.. JOHNSON. These evidently do not come
from the Ku Kluxes. What about the army

"Thc Almighty Being showed bis dis.
