A FANCY.

suaDose If ali the children
Who have lived through ages long
Were collected and Inspected,
They would make a wOndrous throng.
Oh, the babble of the Babel.
Oh the fiutter of the fuss
To begin with Cain and Abel,
And to finish up with us
Think of all the men and women
Who are now and who have been,
Every nation since creation
That this world of ours has seen;
And of all of them. not any EOS
But was once baby small.
While of children, oh, how many
~ Never have grown up at all.
Some have never laugh'd or spoken,
Never used their rosy feet;
Some have even flown to heaven -a-
Ere they knew that earth was sweet;
And indeed wonder whether.
If we reckon every birth.
And bring such a flock together.
There is room for them on earth?
Who will wash their smiling faces?
Who their saucy ears will box?
Who will dress them and caress them?
Who will darn their little socks:
Where are arms enough to hold them2
Hands to pat each shining head?
Who will praise them, who viii scold them;
Who will pack them of to bed?
Little happy Christian children,
Little savage children, too, = -.-
In all stages. of all ages,
That our planet ever knew! .i;.-ls y -.-
Little princes and princesses,
Little beggars wan and faint,
Some in very handsome dresses, 80
Naked some, bedaubed with paint l3e
Only think of the confusion t5 3Ai4a

And the clatter of their chatter, E.

Oh, the babble Of the Babel!

GREELEY's OPTNIoN OF CARPET
rI.t BAGGERS.

p
Mr.. Greeley, who has been travelling
through the South, was. welcomed
home on the 18th ult. During his
address, which he delivered on the
occasion, he gave the following as his
opinion of carpet-baggers:
Well, gentlemen, the thieving car-
pet-baggers are mournful fact; they
do exist there, and / have seen them.
Laughter. They are fellows who
crawled down South i'll the track of
our armies, generally very safe dis
tance in the rear: some of them on
suffers wagons /; some bearing cotton
permits some of them looking sharp
ly to see what may turn up ;.and they
remain there. They at once ingratiat-
ed themselves with the blacks, simple,
credulous, ignorant men, very glad to
welcome and to follow any whites
who professed to be the champions of
their rights. Some of these got elect
ed Senators, others Representatives,
some Sheriffs, some Judges, and so
on. And there they stand, right in
the public eye, stealing and plunder-
ing, many of them with both arms
around negroes, and their hands in
their rear pockets, seeing if they can-
not pick paltry dollar out of them /;
and the public looks at them, does not
regard the honest Northern men, hut
calls every carpet-bagger" thief,
which is not the truth by good deal.
But these fellows-many of them
long-faced, and with eyes rolled up,
are greatly concerned for the educa-
ton of the blacks, and for the saliva
ton of their souls. Great laughter
Let US pray" they say. But they
spell pray with an "e," and, thus
spelled, they obey the apostolic in
junction to spray without ceasing."
Fellow-citizens, the time has been
and still is, when it was perilous TO be
known as Republican or an Aboli-
ZIONIST in tho South, but il never

COVERED LAKEs.-A piece of rail-
road track in Ararat township, Pa,
has been causing the company much
anxiety and expense by sinking and
disappearing altogether. A APennsyl-
Vania paper says: d" 1t has been found
that under the swamp is subterrane-
an pond of several acres in extent,
and of considerable depth. This
pond is covered by about six feet in
depth of black earth. which supports
a heavy growth of woods. The trees
are mostly soft maple, pine, hemIock
and birch, many of them ranging
from six inches to three feet in diam
eter. Last fall it was discovered that
the subterranean pond contains many
fish of the kind usually found in
ponds in this part of the country
pickerel and sinners among others
but all without eyes The Ball
Pond, about>a mile and half distant,
is now growing over A consid .r-
able part of it has become subterra-
mean within the last twenty years, and
probably before many years it will be
entirely covered, like the other. This
pond is about twenty, acres in extent.
For some distance from the shore it is
filed with dense growth of water.

ture of earth is commenced.p as..

HOW SAL DIsGRACED THE FAMILY.

HOW SAL DISGRACED THE FAMILY.
I "A traveller in the State of Illinois,
some years ago, came to log hut on
the prairies, near Decatur, and there
halted. He went into the house of
logs, it was a wretched affair, with an
empty packing box for table, where
two or three old chairs and disabled
stools graced the reception room, the
dark walls of which were ornament
ed by display of tinware, and bro
! ken delf articles or two. "a
The woman was crying in the cor
ner, and the man, with tears in bis
teyes, and pipe in his mouth, sat on
a stool, with his dity arms resting ON
his knees, and his sorrowful looking
head supported by the palms of his
hands.
No word greeted the interloper.
~ g Well" said he, p" you seem TO be
| in awful trouble here, what's up?"
:, Oh, we are most crazed, neighbor,"
said the woman, and weain't got no
| patience to see folks now"
...That is all right" said the visitor,
not much taken aback by his polite
rebuff; but can't be Of some SER
vice to you in all this trouble 2"
W. Well, we've lost our gal. Our
Sails gone off and left us" said the
man in a tone of despair -
!" All! do you know what induced
| her to leave you?" said the new arri-
| val.
We'll, we can't say stranger, as
she's so far lost to us to be induced,
but then she's gone and disgraced u.s."
remarked the afflicted father.
| Yes, neighbor, and not that should
say it as in. her mother, but, there
Warn't q poortier gal in the west than
my Sal, and she's gone and brought
ruin on US and on her own head now,"
followed the stricken mother. .r +s -.
Well, there's the trouble" said
the father. "The gal could have done
| well, and could have married Martin
Kehoe, capital shoemaker, who al
though he's got but one eye, plays the
flute in lively manner, and earns a
good living. Then look what home
and what a life she has deserted. She
was surrounded by all the luxury in
the country. ..l.5 Il il.5.., r.
Yes, who knows what poor Sal
will have to eat, drink or wear nowp,
groaned the old woman. aa*as is-ss-
And who is the fellow that has ta-

Why, she's gone, off and got mar

From the Boston Transcript.
We know that crusade against fash
ion is about as Intellectual as Don Quix-
ote s encounter with the windmills; still
one sees such abuses perpetrated in that
vaunted name, that the temptation to
protest against them is almost irresist.
ible. The present style Of ladies dresses
Is one easily abused, as the tumbled ap-
pearaHce Of many in our streets daily
testify. Tier upon tier, color upon color,
or. II not diversity of hues, then every
shade Of ore color II have counted five
in one oostumel combine 10 make one
of our ladies little less than frights. The
more oufre the fashion, the more requi-
site are judgment and good taste to pre-
vent the excess that ofends all fastidious
eyes. II dresses must be festooned aud
fringed like the drapery in our parlors,
symmetry should be carefully studied,
excess avoided, and eolors kept in strict
accordance.
One word more. Little girls Of the
present day are for the most part their
mammas seen through the wrong end
OF tbs opefa-glass--more especially SO
misses between the ages Of ten and hf-
teen They TOO are draped and trimmed
till their proportions are wholly hidden,
and IL the sight we're not 50 common II
would provoke mirth.

the little folks as IL there we're a need
10 deck what God has made 80 beauti-
full Who can rightly estimate the sad
effects Of overdressing the youngi Neat
ness, simplicity, and above all, comfort
are the only requisites. To see child
absorbed in is hnery is one Of the sad
est things 70 which devotees Of fashion

Nelson, naval genius Of the first or
der, made a very bad husband, leaving a
young and beautiful wife, and indulgiag
in an open, public amour with the wife
Of Sir James Hamilton, the, British
Minister at the Court Of Naples. = Alex.
ander Hamilton wrote a letter to his
wife asking her pardon for the most seri.
GUS marital fragrance that possibly could
be committed. Napoleon Bonaparte
sacrificed his wife and crushed the dear
est feelings of that heart in order to
crafty selfish scheme of political am
bition. Sir Walter Scott was certainly
not a helpmate appreciated by his
spouse, for upon one occasion she re-
marked that she would have to get her
husband to write some more OF
his nonsense in order TO .pur-
chase new carpet. Only think
of nonsense y applied TO the
"Waverly" novels Many of the great
est literary men have seemed To recog-
nize their unftness to have wives by
never taking any. In this class may be
mentioned Hume, Gibbon, Macauley
and our own Washington Irving. One
Of the many disadvantages which "ge-
MUS has to encounter in the enjoyment
Of domestic happiness arises from their
want of pecuniary funds, for, say what
one will, when want flies in at the
door, love too often flies out at the win
dow.'' Genius is too often turned over
TO posterity to pay, and is not remune-
rated by its contemporaries as it de-
serves. Milton sold the copy right Of
Paradise Lost for FIVE pounds, and seven
cities contended for the honor of being
the birthplace Of Homer, which had de-
MED him bread while living What a
life was that of the weird-like genius,
Edgar A. Poel What female could pos
sibly have stood it?
