A LAWYER LEARNS WISDOM FROM a PRETTY

Office n richly drcsscdaiady, who announced
her desire to employ him professionally
With bcamipg smile that could hardly be
restrained from bursting into full blown
laugh, the young Blackstone handed the lady
cushioned armchair, and he assured her
that he was "entirely and devotcdly at her
service" Seating herself in the profrered
Office chair, the lady unglovcd small whito
hand that literally glstcucd with diamonds,
and applied Sucz scented handkerchief to
her lips, bIushcd, and casting her eyes upon
the floor, said:

The New Departure.

1t is not little singular that just on the
eve of his tragical death, Mr.. Vallandigham
should have been interviewed by an Editor
of the Cincinnati Times. On that occasion.
he is reported to have said:
There can lie no more political campaigns
fought on the issues of the last few years
they are dead, and if tho Democratic party re-.
fuses to move to the front and accept the new
order of things, it will simply pass away, and
some other party, made up of the earnest and
progressive elements of the old parties, will
take possession of the government When
asked If he did not think the campaign of 1872
would be fought on the present issues, he.
said, that may be undertaken by our party,
but it will fail. year ago Grant gave the
promise of his intention to lead the Republi-
can party into the new departure, and he
would have done it, but gang of old politi.
cians at Washington held him back, and
scared him with gabblc about defeat until he
went square back into the old ruts. Grant is
an honest man, and would do right if the poll
tlclans would let him, but that they won't do

honestly, | never was disunionist, and al
ways did believe, and now believe, that this
Union will be perpetual, and extend until it
embraces the continent. In his denial of
disunion views, Mr.. Vallandigham thrice re-
pcated it with marked emphasis. In reply to
remark of the interviewer, that he did not
see how, with the hatred exhibited towards
him by the dead issues of tho Democratic
party, he could stay in that party, he smiled,
aud said, "What can / doY The Republican
party won't move forward. 1t wants to stiok
to its old clothes, and my best hope is to get
the Democracy to push to the front. How
ever, there is no telling what three hundred

party fails to become the party of progress
and advanced ideas, and I, from conscientious
conviction, decide to act with the other polit-
ical party, that other political party will new

Pale star, with Thy soft sad light
Came out upon my bridal eve
hnvc u song to siog tonight,
Before thou tak'st Thy mournful leave.
Since then so softly time has stirred,
That months have almost seemed like hours
And am like little bird
That's slept too long among the flowers
And waking, sit with wayelcss wing,
Soft singing mid the shades of even;
But oh with sadacr heart sing
sing OF one who dwclls in heaven.
The winds nrc soft, The clouds are few,
And tcn'lcrest thoughts my heart bcguilc,
AS floating up through mist ana dew,
The pale moon comes out and smiles
And to the green rcsounding shore
In silvcry troops The ripplcs crowd,

And star on star, all soft and calm,
Floats up yOn arch scrcncly buc
And, lost to earth and stepped in balm,
My spirits float in ether too.
Loved one though lost 10 human sight,
feel thy spirit lingering near,
as softly MS feel the light
That trcnlbles through The atmosphere

Though mute the hymn and hushcd tho

For every hour we breathe apart,

CINCINNATI, June 2O.-The Ohio courts
have generally adjourned, in honor to Mr..
Nallandigham's funeral. Mrs. Vallandigham
is somewhat restored. Vallandigham's estate
is less than forty thousand dollars
The following is published: Hon. @. L.
Val'andgham My dear sr-I have just read
the resolutions of the Montgomery County,
Ohio, Democratic Convention, reported BY
yourself, together with your remarks and
those of Mr. Hank. You have rendered
great service to your country and the party,
at least such is my judgment. May God
bless you for it, Nothing can be truer than
your declaration, that the movement oontem-
plated by the resolutions is the restoration Of
the Democratic party % its ancient platform
of progress and rcforll. I know you TOO
well to doubt your courage, or your fidelity
to your connections. Very truly yours,
S. p. CHASE.
