Old Stories Made New.

The plea Of Air. Whittemorc. argued 20
dlsastrously to his client, by General But
Ter that the cadet money all went To tho

fer who sometimes hsd crazy fits, In which
he always imagined himself t0be the Lord
judging the world.
On these occasions he would put on .
paper crown, ascend n pile OF meal bags
with great dignity, and call his ncighbors
In succession. The same ones wero nj.

this vicinity.

Mr.. Golladay's sudden resignation re-
calls the story Of the stockbrokcr who was
dining with his friend. A servant enter
ed and told him that two policemen were
mt the door and wanted To SEQ him.
Whereupon. without waiting for his hat,
he showed up the back window, jumped
out, and was never seen again. The po-
licemen had simply called to him that his
chimney was on fire.
So. when the Military COMMITTEES was
announced mt Golladay's s door, he hastily
jumped out of tho back window. Tho
committee called to say that they had no
positive evidence against him.
Let all the back windows be set wido
open while tho committee makes tho
grand rounds.

BIDDEF0RD, ME-, FRIDAY

It was spy pardoned by Mr.. Lincoln who
gave the information which led to the hor-
riblo death of Col. Uric Dahlgren. But
the sympathetic nature which sometimes
erred through the weakness produced by
its own truth and intensity, was well un-
derstoOd and never condemned by those
who knew the man best. Here in Wash
ington II was not an affair Of hearsay; the
plying heart made itself felt, and its in
iluence was potent even when silent.
Here Mr.. Lincoln was truly mourned, not
simply rs a'martyr In just cause but as
q beloved friend. None who had. ever
came in contact with him could fail to be
convinced Of his integrity or remain un-
impressed by his gentle characteristics.
Many had been indebted to him for some
kindness, all had recognized his willing
ness to mitigate, so far as possible, the
horrors of war. The cry which went up
from the city on that sad 18th Of April was
for a man deeply and earnestly loved and
honored.

Favored with lemon, with much oil cast

"LOTE, TITS TO-NIGHT."

"Love, It's tonight that long for thy presence,
While | am lying exhausted and weak;
Visions of early years dance DER mine eyeids,
And make the warm tears start unbid 10 my cheek.
Often in childhood I've launched my small vessel,
And watched its white sail till saw it no more
All little thought that I'd strand on the shadows,
And be totally wrecked when in sight of the shore.
"Madly turned from thy perfect example,
Dashed aside all entreaties and stifed regret;
'Mong the vile and the wicked sought my compano ions
Resolved in the wiue-cup our love to forget.
And at midnight I've stood in the engthening shadows
Ny brow burning-hot and my heart tempest-tost,
Caring nothing for life now wearsome burden,
Since all that loved d neglected and lost.
"Once in my dreams passed my father before me,
His head white with sorrow, his form bent by years
And mother, her love still the for the truant,
Her face with IS beauty made sweeter by tears
Deeply lOnged to rejoin the loved circle,
But shame tall too potent) constrained me to fly,
1t hurried me far from the home of my kindred,
And left me aone and unpitied, to die.
Love, tits tonight that long for thy presence,
To press to my lips thy soft hand as of yore
'Twould add a new strength to my faltering spirit
Ere it takes its long flight to the 'echoless shore :
And when to carry affections last token.
A stranger shall cross the wide, billowy sea,
Oh think of tonight, when this heart, long broken
Turns its last feeble thought and remembrance to thee

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHr-A SHoEMAKERs DAUGH-
TER CAPTIvATEs FOREIGN OFFIcIAL.--Perre
Bopaparte has become famous for marrying a
saddler's daughter and shooting an offensive
editor. The first act was regarded as noble
piece of beroism ON his part. certain young
foreign gentleman, residing in Washington,
has furnished almost parallel to Pierre Bona
parties honorable conduct toward saddlers
daughter. The story is this, according to the
Washington correspondence OF the New York
Herald
The young gentleman was walking down
Pennsylvania avenue about two or three weeks
ago, enjoying pleasant promenade along our
Waghington Broadway, when his attention
was suddenly attracted by a very pretty girl
standing in the door way of shoe store. Our
hero was fascinated insLantaneously. On the
pretence of making some purchases in the
leather line he entered the store, engaged in
conversation with the maiden and discovered
she was the daughter of the proprietor. Our
hero found excuses for making many subse
quent visits to the store, and finally the parents
Of the girl noticing this marked attention to
their daughter, and thinking the disparity in
rank was too great to admit of proper address
es, politely informed him that they would prefer
him to discontinue his calls. The young gen
tleman with an unexpected manliness and ev-
ident sincerity, told the parents that his inten-
tions were honorable to the last degree; that
ne loVeu Ine daughter deVotedly, ana that
though their respective stations differed widely,

Ie tod Tue father that his child was yet young
enough to be thoroughly educated and fitted
for any station in life, and that if he would
consent he, the young gentleman, would have
the girl sent to one of the best academies in
the country, there to be instructed in all the
accomplishments and requirements desirable.
The young gentleman also offered to give a
solemn pledge that he would never visit the
yourg lady at the academy, and that at the end
of the educational course, if she still entertain
ed feeling of affection for him, he would lay
at her feet his hand and heart. | am inform
ed that the generous proposal has been accept
ed, and the young lady is at a female
academy in neighboring city The whole
thing is looked upon here as highly creditable
to all parties concerned. The young man oe-
cupies It very high official position.

CONcEITED People Minerva threw away the
flute, when she found that it puffed up her cheeks ;
but if we cast away the flute nowadays, il is
that we may take larger instrument OF puthng,
by becoming our own trumpeters. Empty minds
are the most prone to soar above their proper
sphere, like paper kites, which are kept aloft by
their own lightness while those that are better
stored prone to humility, like heavily laden
vessels, of which we see the Tess the more richly
and deeply they are freighed The corn bends
itself downwards when its ears are filled, but
when the heads Of the conceited are filled with
self-aduation, they only lit them up higher
Perhaps it is a benevolent provision of Provi-
dence that we should possess in fancy these good
qualities which are held from US in reality for
il we did not occasionally think well yourselves
we should be more apt TO think i'll of others. 1t
must be confessed that the conceited and the vain
have light and pleasant duty to perform, since
they have but one to please, and in that object
they seldom fail. Selt-ove, moreover, is the on
ly love not liable to the pangs of jealously =
Pity that quick perception of our own des-
serts generally blinds us to the merits of others ;
that we should see more than all the world in
the former instance, and less in the latter In
one respect, conceited people show degree Of
discernment for which they deserve credit-they
soon became tired of their own company.
