much within the time allotted. The forty

THE THREE LITTLE CHAIRS.

They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray.haired dame and aged sire,
Dreaming Of days gone by;
The trar-drops fell Oh each wrinktd cheek.
They both had thoughts they could not speak,
And each heart uttered sigh
For their sad and fearful hearts deserted
Three-lit chairs placed side by side
Against the sitting room wall;
OlG.faslioned enough rs there they stood,
Their seats of flag and their frame of wood;
With their backs so straight aud tall.
Then the sire shook his silvery head,
Ard with a trembling voice he gently said;
Mother. these empty chars!
They bring us such sad, sad thoughts tonight,
Wen put them forever ont OF sight,
In the SMALL dark room up stairs
But she answered.: Father, no, not yet,
For look at them and forget
That the children away;
The boys come back, and our Mary, TOO,
With her apron on Of checkered blue,
And sit here every day.
" johnny still whites a ships tall masts,
AID Willie his leaden bullets casts
Willie Mary her patchwork sews;
At evening time three childish prayers
Go up TO God from these little chairs,
SO softly tina. no one knows
" JOHNNY comes back from the billOw dep,
Willie wakes from his battlefield sleep
To say good night to me;
Marys wife and mother no more
Blu: u tired child whose piaytilIe Is Ger,
And comes to rest at my knee.
g So LET them stand there though empty now,
And every time when alone We bow
At the Fathers throne TO pray,
Wen ask to meet the children above,
In our Saviour's home of rest ana love,
Where child goeth away

From the New York Sun
WASHINGTON, October lit is said, on
GOOD authority, that the position of Solicitor
General was promised by the President to
I N. Thayer, Esq, OF Pennsylvania, who is
claimed to be an accomplished lawyer. The
post is important, in view OF the ncapaclty,
physical and moral of the late rebel adj
iutant who now holds the honorary title OF
Attorney General The present acting At
to1nev General is named Talbot; person
assigned to duty from the Bureau of Mill
tary Justice, whose opinions appear to have
little weight with the officials here or the
public This, however, has come TO be a
chronic grievance, and only proves tiiat
either the office of Attorney General ought
to be abolished, or some attempt should DC
made to restore it to its constitutional I'M
portance. BY the constitution, heads OF de-
partments are authorized to solicit the
opinion of the Attorney General re.
garding questions OF law or o1lc!al
duty: and it is plainly IN
tended that when an opinion is asked for
and given it is to have the force OF law until
overruled by the courts. There Is no guar
antee for conscientious and able opinions on
the part of the Attorney General, except Ill
his character and capacity. The country Is
entitled to have the once nlleG DS IL Hill VI
such general esteem as that he risks his
reputation if he gives wrong or weak
opinions. Where the Attorney General has
no reputation to lose. or, as IN Akerli;tn
case, none but what it would be better for
him to lose, the opinion is regarded by Off
cials and others as of no more consequence
than that of any fipenny-bit lawyer in IL
country village. An able solicitor general
is certainly needed to make up for deti,
cheney in the law department as far as or
gained. Thayer's friends assert that he
fills the bill. but that family reasons have
again obtruded themselves in the way of
public duty, and that
BROTIIER-IS-LAw CASEY,
at present Collector of the port OF New Or
leans, against the united protest OF the
Louisiana Republicans. is to be lifted up
into the office OF solicitor general.
\ letter from Indiana states that there Is
probability of Senator Morton reconsider
Ing his acceptance of the British mission.
For public reasons it is hoped here that this
is not true. The Alabama matter ought to
he adjusted, and Morton is man OF strong
sense, trmnc-s of character, and patriotic.
