New York. named DIR. j. B. Young, appear
ed before the House Reconstruction Commit
tee. at the head of a delegation and present
Ell formidable address, reciting horrible
outrages purporting to have been committed
in that State by the "Ku- Klux," and asking
that Congress might reconstruct the State
He also called on the President and enlisted
his sympathies. On Wednesday members
of the committee received copies of a Knox
vile Radical paper, containing an adver-
tisement showing Young to be full blown
rascal. Even Butler on reading the adver-
tiseinent exclaimed. "Well, my nigger has
gone up" This shows a specimen Of the
character of men relied on to give evidence
to reconstructed Tennessee. Here is the adj
veTtisement:

Poetical Justice.

In Herkimer county
There never was seen
A sweeter young creature
Than Annabel Green. -
She was as fair as the lilies,
And pure as snow,
And Ichabod Brown
Was sweet Annabeps beau.
Fair Annabel Green
Thus to Ichabod spoke:
SHOULD you ever prove false
My poor heart would be broke"
Then he answered, 81 hope
To be roasted and eat,
fmy AnnabePs love
l shall ever forget"
But Ichabod Brown
Proved faithless, and soon.
Poor Annabel Green
Was deserted and alone;
Then she wept and she mourned,
And she sobbed and she sighed, &
Till her tender heart broke
And she lay down and died.
Then Ichabod Brown
Was never at ease;
He roamed far away
To the far Southern seas,
And on going ashore
Some savages met him.
And built up fire
And roasted and ate him.

Very Little Interest.

Lawyers have belief that when witness
begins to yawn and look Indifferent, he is prob
ably lying. A funny coloquy between a wit
ness of this class and counselor occurred few
weeks ago 10 a court held not very far Vest
The particular matter at issue was an account
of several years standing defendant swore
that he had paid it in full, and to corroborate
him, called this witness The fellow mounted
the stand, took the oath CAPPED and testified
that the money was paid. Then he was turned
over to the plaintiff for cross examination
Lawyer-Iau say you saw the money paid !?
Witness Gapiugl l did.
Lawyer-W here was the plaintiff when de-
tendant came?
Witness-In the barn Ia wide gape.)
Lawyer-What month was it?
Witness-t Without hesitation) February.
Lawyer-What time of day?
Witness Bout 4 in the morning.
Lawyer Before light?
Witness-Y -a-a-s, little.
Lawyer Then, sir, how could you see the
money paid
Witness-I-(gapng)- lit match
Lawyer-What was the plaintiff doing?
Witness blowing
Lawyer-What? Now. sir, just explain to
this jury how j man can be moving in his barn
before daylight in the month of February.
The witness saw that he had hopelessly in
volved himself 10 a quagmire of faIsehood =
The eyes Of court, jury and lawyers were upon
him, and he saw no way to eXtricate himself
from his dilemma. But something had to be
done; and so. with yawn, he drawled out the
words: "WeIl, Squire, don't know as I care
much about tits case anyway.

4 MYSTERY.
that mystic path was treading,
When the sun his rays was shedding,
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro' the
trees;
And watched the streamlet glistening,
As entranced L there was listening
To the melting, merry music of the breeze
When beneath a tree reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,
. Lol saw fellow-being ON the ground;
Though no other feature shifted,
Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted,
Upward lifted, as he wildly looked around
Good friend, said l, approaching,
Do not charge me with encroaching
Are you waiting for some messenger of news ?
But no other word he uttered,
And no other sentence muttered,
Save $50 to Simon Hilbs for dry goods, boots
and Shoes -,
That's strange expression surely,
Said l, looking down derlurely,
l trust good sir, the question you'll excuse
But he only looked the prouder,
AS he spoke the words the louder
Go to Hilb's for all the goods you use.
Why bless me, man l shouted,
AS his sanity doubted,
lis surely naught to me what merchants goods
|, you buy.
But he only cried the higher,
With enthusiastic fire,
You'll save half your cash if Simon Hilb you
Where no ray of sun was shining
And frequently ]. Wondered at what the man
spoke in the woods; .............
Thinking surely it was mystery,
And that some hidden history
Was weaving round myself and Simon's goods,
So then resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them,
And, behold! I've cause for gladness,
That the words I deemed were madness
Induced me thus to purchase my goods from
So all will find the same cause for gladness

The late bargains, lately received direct
