Te,npIe nf the Musss.
TWO WOMEN.

Kate sat folding her yellow hair
Where the summer winds swept by,
While Blanche tossed out her ebon locks,
With many blush and sigh.
Fer both were fair, and the world was wide,
Where they sought to reap and win
A harvest of joys, with golden sheaves,
With many heart within.
Kate, like queen, would conquer and reign,
With kingdom of men at her feet;
But Blanche, likea lily, would bend and sway,
Where the waters of love should meet.
And each had the wish her thought had made,
But their paths were wide apart,
For one ruled host of fools at her back,
And the other ruled only-a heart.
And time the toiler, went fitting by,
Found Blanche as bright and fair
As in the days of the summer winds
That waved Kate's yellow hair.
But the yellow hair was thin and gray,
And the heart Of Kate grown old;
For the hearts of women must love or die
And they never thrive on gold.

More Conversions
to
Democracy.

The Boston Pioneer, a leading
radical organ, has got enough of
radicalism. While the radicals
depended on the votes of the Ger
mans for success, they were dis
tressingly clever, or professed to
be, to their German fellow citizens.
But now that the radicals have
deserted the Germans and taken
up with the niggers, the Pioneer
think it is time the Germans
should leave the radicals and Mig
gers 10 take care of themselves
The Pioneer says:
"The bond between US and the
republican party is severed. A
way with old servilism, and hur-
rah tor the independence of the
Germans"
John ii. Cherry, of Spring
field, ILL.,, is out in a letter in the
State Register, in favor Of the
Democracy. He is an able law
yer, and was one of the leading
radicals. Let them come. Our
country calls for honest men of
every party to rally under the
Democratic flag. Hurrah for
Democracy! one flag and country,
one currency for all, equal and
just laws!

Schuyler COlfaX.

The Council Bluffs, Iowa, B,tgle,
of a late date says.-This poor
driveling make believe has a record.
What is it? I'VE relate briefly
When a military commission at
Indianapolis, Ind, on the 21st day
of October, 1864, condemned
Lambden ?. Milligan to die by
hanging, and sane men were at
tempting to get commutation of
his sentence, Schuyler Colfax, the
designing, cold-hearted and uncon-
scionable villain, signed a protest
10 the President! He gloated in
the thought Of tapping the blood of
a Democrat and an innocent man.
That he was an innocent victim
Of the diabolism Of the hour, has
been proclaimed by the United
States Supreme Court in a decision
rendered in these words:
THAT on the facts stated in the
petition and exhibits a writ of ha-
-6ods corpus ought to be issued /;
that Milligan ought to be dis
charged from custody, and that the
Military Commission had no ju-
risdiction legally to try and SEN
tence said Milligan."
This is a very brief exhibit of
the bloody-hearted and soulless vii
lain, who actually petitioned the
President not to respite an inno-
cent victim of spies; informers, 60
betweens, body-snatchers and
night prowling hyeDas! The
drunkard and a heartless villain
are we'll matched.

Seymour's Views
on
Finance.

The Philadelphia Ledger is rec
ognized as high authority on all
financial questions wherein it cir
culates, and having larger circu-
lation than any other daily paper
published in Pennsylvania, its in
fuence is correspondingly great.
1t regards Horatio Seymour as the
most eligible candidate for the
Presidency, and enforces its views
upon the capitalists and business
men of the State in the following
able manner:
The standard bearer selected
by the New York Convention is
open and out-spoken against eve
ry species of repudiation or vio-
lation of the letter and spirit of
the promise of Government to its
creditors. At his recent speech
at the Cooper Institute, New
York, be said the discomfort pre-
vailing in reference to the public
debt is ascribed to the two kinds
of currency-coin for the credi-
tors of the Government and de-
preciated paper for labor and bu-
siness. His remedy for this is a
uniform currency-and as it can
be as we'll made uniformly good
as uniformly bad, he argued that
it should be uniformly good
He said zone of two ways of ef-
fecting this is to contract its vol
ume by calling in the legal ten
ders, adding however that will
make them scarce, and force
specie standard, that will carry
ruin and bankruptcy into every
part of our country, bearing down
the prices of all property and Ia
bor-and is policy which can
not be carried through, for the
country will not consent to it
There is another way" he said,
"that of lifting up our greenbacks
to par, which will not harm any,
but will help all, for it will bring
back confidence, will revive busi-
ness and enterprise, will Tighten
taxation, will give to labor hon
est money, and a0iU do justice to
the public creditor. His policy,
he said, is to give all the world
full faith in the honor and wisdom
of the American Government
This is clearer and more emphatic
than anything to be found in eth
er of the platforms, and is more
to the purpose. Just at
present the payment of the prin-
cipal of the public debt is of little
consequence, for the reason that
the Treasury has neither paper
nor coin with which to offer In pay
ment, and, further, the bonds do
not mature for some fourteen
years, within which time there
may be a resumption of specie

Stampede from Memphis.

At least one hundred mercan-
tile princes have, within the last
twelve months, either closed up
their business entirely or removed
from Memphis to other localities
owing to the ruinous condition of
trade in that locality. The fol-
lowing item gives the names of a
few that have made up their
minds to try their luck at other
places:
Mr.. Merriman, one of our lar.
gest dealers in jewelry and silver
ware, who is also one of our County
Commissioners, has transferred all
his interests to st. Louis, and will
go there to reside this fall. He
was one of the Directors of the
Merchants National Bank, and
lost sixty thousand dollars by its
failure. Mr.. Erich, one of our
most extensive crockery dealers,
is also going to st. Louis. Hor-
ace Stone, a very enterprising
boot and shoe dealer, will do the
same. The Lowenstines, Men
kens, Seesels, Rices, and other
Hebrew firms, still hold on here,
but talk of going to st: Louis,
New York, Philadelphia, or some
where that is more brisk than
Memphis.

Purchasing a Farm.

Colonel David HenShaW was 6
kind-hearted man, as well as able
but smart as he was, on one occa
sion, in doing a generous act, he
was suddenly taken in. An old
customer in Eaton, N. H., had fail
ed, owing Mr.. HIS firm about $2,.
900. After settling with his other
creditors, he came to see Mr.. Fl.
"Well, sir, said the latter, "what
can you do for us?'
''Have saved my farm for you,
sir" replied the unfortunate.
"Your farm, hey?" said Mr.. H.;
Sand what have you got left %
"Well, sir, a horse, a pig and a
cow; and altogether, l think they
will bring me in about seventy-fve
dollars sufficient, 1 hope to get
myself and family out West, where
[ intend to settle. By the way,
here's the deed of the farm, sir, -
said the poor, but honest debtor,
as he passed the document which
certified Mr.. HIS legal right to two
hundred acres of land, "more or
less" and long known as ''Cold
Stream Farm"
"Oh, that will never do" says
Mr.. H.; and drawing his check for
$500, he handed it to his old Gus
toner, remarking at the same time
that he was "sorry for his misfor-
tunes, and appreciatipg his integri-
ty, it gave him great pleasure to
be able to afford him a little help
at starting again"
The poor fellow was greatly sur
prised and took the check, "with a
tear drop in each eye," heartily
thanked his generous creditor, and
departed, but to be seen by Mr..
Ii. never more.
About the first of April follow
ing, Mr.. Henshaw thought he
would go up to Esston, and take a
look at his real estate up there.
Arriving at about dusk, he ''put
up" at the tavern kept by his old
friend March, who on learning his
guests errand, said he would go
out with him the next day and
show him where the farm lay.
Next day soon after breakfast,
the two sailed out to see it. After
proceeding a few rods, the old tav-
ern keeper halted, and directed his
companions attention to o bare
and very rough and steep mountain
that stood a few miles of, remark
ing that "that was called Bald
Mountain"
''That is rough looking place"
said the other.
"Well," continued the tavern
keeper, "the location of your prop
perty-the Cold Stream Farm-is
on top of that mountain"
eyes; but how do you get
there ?"
"Why, you don't suppose any
body was ever up there, do you ?"
"Well, what's the good of it F.?
What is done with it? rue1ully
asked the amazed merchant.
F'The town sells it every year
for the taxes" replied the tavern
keeper.
"Tbey do, hey ?" says Mr.. Hen
shaw, ''and pray tell me who in
these parts is fool enough to buy
that style of property 2"
"Why, any Of our chaps around
here, who get into trouble or fail,
buy it for the purpose of settling
with their Boston creditors"

A Case Stated.

Amerchant in 1864 sold $l0,-
600 in gold at a premium of 202,
and bought gold interest-bearin
United States bonds, for which he
paid 81 in greenbacks. He thus
got greenbacks to the amount of
S2S,200 for his $4,000 in gold,
and he exchanged the greenbacks
for $30,0O0in United States bonds.
On these bonds the government
has annually paid him an interest
of 81, ,S0Oin gold, which is eighteen
per cent. on the $4,000 first in-
vested. In four. years he gets
then for his $4,000 the sum of
$1,000 in gold, as interest alone.
And yet he is unwilling to take
$4,000 in greenbacks, which
with interest added makss $751;.
600, for his investment of ten thou
sand dollars. And all this time his
bonds have been exempt from
taxation. But this bondholder,
and the radical party for him, in
sist that the poor laborer and me-
chanic shall toll and work harder
every day, to pay this bondholder
his thirty thousand dollars in gold,
and this, too, when the law justi-
fies no such contract. Is it just?
Will the working-men of this
content to tax themselves
and their children to bankruptcy
and beggary in order that a debt
contracted in greenbacks should be
paid in gold?
