Oh! there IL a dream Of early youth,
And IL never comes again.
IT'S vision Of light, and life and truth,
That fits across the brain:
And love is the theme of that early dream,
So wild. so warm, SO new,
That all our after years, dream,
That early dream we rue.
oh! there Is dream Of maturer years,
More turbulent by far;
IT'S vision of blood. and Of woman's tears,
For the theme of that dream Is war;
And we toll in the fields OF danger and death,
Aud we shout in the battle array.
Till we find chat fame Is a bodiless Dreath,
That vanisheth away.
Obi there Is a dream Of hoary age,
'ris a vision Of gold In store
or sums noted down In the figured page,
- To be counted DER and Ger,
And we fondly trust In our glittering dust,
As q refuge from grief and pain.
Till our limbs are laid on the last dark bed,
Where the wealth. Of the world is vain.
And Is 1t thus. from mans birth to his grave
In the which all are treading,
IL there nought In that long career to seek,
From remorse and self upbraiding?
Oh. yes, there's dream. so pure, so bright,
That the being to whom 1t is given.
Hath bathed in q sea OF living light
And the theme Of that dream Is Heaven.

BROADBRIMS TO THE FRONT.

The New York UeraIH is somewhat caustic
on the administration for the numerous APP
rointments Indian agents from among that
highly respected class of citizens known as
Fricnds-vuIgarly styled Quakers. 1t says
that it would seem that the administration had
been recently impressed with the schoolbook
pictures illustrating that venerable old Qua
ker, William Penn. making treaties with the
ahorigines of Pennsylvania and thinks that
the selection of these worthy men will result
in the peaceful solution of our Indian trou-
bles. Perhaps SO. But in this connection
we are reminded. as the lamented Lincoln
would say. of little story. On certain &C.
casion Western Baptist preacher consulted
a we'll known Quaker pbilanthropist on the
propriety of the former undertaking a mis-
sionary journey among the Indians of the
Northwest Thee may go. friend Hark-
ness, and bid the good speed. l only hope
thou wilt come back with all the har Oh the

An Eastern Address to the President.

The following is the address of Rabbi Sheer
shon to President Grant in behalf of the APP
pointment of an Isrelite as United States con-
sui in Palestine, mentioned in Washing
ton letter The Rabbi said
stMr. President Permit me to give my
thanks to the Almighty, whose mercy brought
me here to behold the face of the chosen by
millions of this great nation. Blessed be the
Lord, who imparteth from His wisdom and
from His honor to a mortal l come to your
Excellency fron'the Fast, where the glory of
your deeds of valor, your candor and your
justice have penetrated, to interest you in the
name of God, who created ak men equal, to
listen to the prayer of your humble servant,
standing before you to advocate the cause of
his oppressed brethren in the Holy land
The lsraelites in Palestine possess nc political
or civil rights whatever, and deprived of pro-
lection by the representatives of the civilized
nations which the Christians enjoy, arc ex-
posed to violence and arbitrary rule. The
only shelter the Israelites occasionally find is
in the courts of the different European con-
sulates, where one of their co-religionists is
employed either US interpreter or deputy con-
sui, who conveys their grievances to the
proper channel This free republic alone,
whose banner covers the oppressed, whose
foundation is based on equality, federation and
liberty Of conscience. has no Israelite employ
ed near the consul at Jerusalem. do pray
therefore, your ExcelIeucy to turn your atten-
ton to the deplorabIe condition of my breth-
ren in the Orient. that the principles of this
government may be truly embodied in its rep
resentative abroad and 1 do further pray
that your Excelency may show me that mark
of favor which would enable my brethren in
the Holy Land, in the hour of need. to seek
refuge under the stars and stripes, that this
free country and its exalted chief should be
blessed on the sacred spot of our common an
cestors"
President Grant replied briefly but cour-
tcously, promising to examine into the mat
ter referred to, and do what he could to rem
edy any grievances which existed
Before he lett Rabbi Sneersohn said -
"Before part from you, Mr.. President, al
low me to offer my fervent prayer from the
depth of my heart: Almighty God, whose
dominion is an everlasting kingdom, may
He bless and preserve, guard and assist your
ExceIlency and your family. May the Supreme
King of kings grant you long life. and inspire
you with benovolence and friendship towards
all mankind"

A NEGRO PROPOSES.

Away upin Michigan there are few Amer
Jean citizens over whose countenancesis spread
the distinguishing impress Of Senegambian
darkness. These are the especial pets of rad
icalism, and the philanthopic Northern heart
throbs with irrepressible emotions for their ele-
walton and improvement. The word of light
and truth is read to and taught them, and the
missionary labors of Jealous radical daughters,
are onerous il. the extreme. Sabbath after
Sabbath in cities and towns. these pet ambs
are gathered within the fold and the bread
of life is broken to them after the peculiar
style of Puritana. a story is told Of young
lady who labnred in one OF these colored Sab.
bath schools in Detroit Being an enthusiast,
who had swallowed the doctrine 9th equality
of the races with the same avidity that duck
would swallow a tad pole, she had devoted her.
self to the instruction of class of c"lored
boys, in whose advancement in divine kuowl-
edge she felt an especial pride. Under her
indefatigabe zeal, her boys had mastered the
ohatechism, and one of them had progressed
so faras to tsel himself authorized to propouud
question to his adored teacher. This he did
by note, in the following style -
Mos Lubly and affecshunate-
1 loves you. and wants to marry you I
know you is good andlikes me. Neber mind
what the world says !. 1 will make you happy.
I wanted to tell YOU Before, but now it is
Unbearabe. Yours till death.
The account adds that the young lady was
shocked. She ought to have been. Two or
three heavily charged galvanic batteries ought
to have been applied to her, until her negro
sympathies were thoroughly shocked out of
her. Then if she possessed any religious
sensbilities, she might have turned her labors
in another direction, and sought the improve
mcnt of the moral and religious condition of
the children of her own COLOR We hope the
buck negroes of the north will continue to
shock these she radicals, until they learn some
practical sense.

CONFIRMED.

Last week, the Senate of the United States,
among its last acts previous to adjournment,
confirmed the nomination of Mr.. John S.
Carlisle, of this State, as Minister to Sweden.
This result was notobtained, however, without
bitter opposition, which at one period seemed
to render the confirmation matter of cx-
treme doubt. This appointment is by no
means satisfactory to. the great body of the
radical party of West Virginia, who do not
regard the appointee as fair exponent of the
principles of their party and there are many
who entertain very reasonable doubts whether
his sympathies are with the party in its ruin
Gus policy. But Johnny is a slippery fellow
at best, and we expect that Grants disposition
OF him, is about as good as any tina, could
have been made.

Ear Louis Napoleon said every man in
France should vote his sentiments. but that no
votes must be cast against the Empire. The
Constitution of the U. S. says that amend
ments must pass by the free action of the

but if you don't please to do as we tell YOU,
then neither Virginia, Mississippi nor Texas
shall be entitld to representation in Congress.
We hope Virginia will be unrepresented till

self by ratifyiug the XVIII amendment.

Daniel Frederick Beakman, the last sur
vivor of the revolution, died at Sundusky,
Cattaraugus county, n. y, on the morning of
April 3, at the green old age Of 100 years,
being born in New Jersey about 1850. When
u child, his parents emigrated to the Mohawk
Valley, where they lived during the revolu-
tiouary war. Previous to the sklrmish or bat
tie of Fort Plain, IN l77S, young Beakman
was enrolled in the militia, aud took part in
that Lattle-his first services. About 1915 he
removed to the town Of Freedom, Cattaraugus
county, where he has since resided. HIS
wife, with whom he has lived for over eighty
five years, was two years his senior, and died
six years ago, aged los. la all applications
made by his friends in his behalf for pension,
