No Mother.

In passing along the street yesterday
we saw a frieudless child, we overheard
a lady by her side remark to her COM
paniou, in referring to the child, "She
has no mother" what volume of SORROW
FIJI truth in that single utterance-70
mother. We must go far down the hard,
rough paths of life, and become Injured to
care and sorrow in their sternest forms,
before we can take home the dread reality
no mother without struggle or tear.
But when it is said of frail young girl,
lust passing from childhood toward the
life of woman, how sad is the story
summed up in that one short sentence.
Who now shall administer the needed
Counsel now shall check the way
ward fanoies-wbo shall bear with the
errors aud failings of tho motberless
daughter
Deal gently with the child. Let not
the cup Of her sorrow be overflled by the
harsbness of your bearing or your un-
sympsthizing GOODNESS, l. she forgetful
Of duty? Is she careless in her move
IN ,ntsY Remember, oh remember "she
HIS no mother" When her young CON-
panions are gay and joyous, does she sit
borrowing Does she pass with languid
step and downcast eye, when you fain
witness the gushing and Overlooking glad
ness of YOUTH Chide her not, for she is
mot berless, and the great sorrow comes
down upon her soul like an incubus. Can
you gain her confidence !? Can you win
Der love? Come, then, to the motherless
with the boon OF your tenderest care, and
by the memory of your own mother, al
ready, perhaps, passed away-by the full
ness Of yonr own remembered sorrow-by
the possibility that your own child may
yet be motherless -contribute, SO far as
you may, to relieve the sorrow, repair the
loss of that fair, frail child who is written

The SALISBURY FIRE.-We have re,
ceived, from our Salisbury correspond
emf the following particulars in reference
to the fire at SALISBURY, in addition te
those contained in our special dispatch
Friday morning. A fire occurred in
SALISBURY, Thursday morning, between
four and five o'clock, entirely destroying
the chair factory of w. W. Marshall &
Co., with large amount of chair stock,
barn and a dwelling attached to the
mill. One man, Henry Stacy, lost his
life while removing goods from the house.
Nearly everything had been removed and
Mr.. Stacy went in after clock. There
was no fire in this room and none under
it, but 1t was filled with smoke. His re-
mains were found after the building was
burned down, but few feet from direct
ly under where the clock stood, in
charred condition. The head and limbs
were entirely consumed, leaving nothing
that looked like human body. 1t is
supposed that he was suffocated by the
smoke. The Messrs. Marshall were using

ELECTION OF FRANK BLAIR. - The
election of Frank Blair to the Senate by
the Missouri Legislature illustrates the
unchanged character of the Democracy OF
that State, Blair's only recommendation
to the party which has espoused him is
his violence. His Broadhead letter Sc
cured him the nomination for the Vice
Presidency on the Seymour ticket, and o
declaration of his continued adherence to
the sentiments of that document obtained
for him the steadfast support of the Mis-
souri, Democrats. Blair's ultraism has the
merit of being outspoken. He disdains
false preteuses. He left the National
Convention, in 1868, in no doubt as to hi
hostility to the measures employed for the
restoration of the South to the Union.
Aud he has been frank enough to tell the
men who have made him the associate of
Mr.. Schurz, that he hopes to aid in over
throwing the policy of the Republican
party at the South. He proclaims this as
his senatorial mission. There shall be no
peace il no can prevent it. Well, if there
must be Copperheads in Congress, we
suppose it is best to have the genuine ar
ticle.

| THE ALBANY EXPRESS ROBBERY
The express company have retained w
]. Hadley for the prosecution of Filkins
and the friends of the prisoner have en-
gagged Henry Smith and w. S. Rosendalt
to defend him. The examination did mo-
proceed yesterday, but was adjourned til
this morning. During the afternoon Mr.
Filkins's two children visited him at the
Second district station house, and remain.
ed with him an hour. The meeting was
very affecting one. Subsequently two
of his uncles from Chatham, and other
friends, called upon him, after which his
counsel had private interview with him.
Halpine, the wounded express messenger,
continues to improve rapidly, and is able
to walk about his room. The Argus
says:
at is very generally believed that the
amount stolen was largely in excess of
what was published-some parties placing
it as high as from $4,000 to $4,000, for
it is generally known that that particular
train carried all the remittances from
river towns and from the West to their
Eastern correspondents. The repeated
refusal of the express company to dis
tinctly state the amount of loss; the
large reward they Immediately offered |;
the untiring zeal of their representative
here, Mr.. Dwight, all tend to give truth
to these rumors Of very heavy loss"

HIadaline.

It fell when the crimson began to shine
In the round of the robins breast,
That the feet of the maiden, Madaline,
Came not to dance with the rest.
And when the splendor shown in the grass,
And the head Of the rose was high,
She sang of love, though the song, alas!
Was only lonesome cry.
But, ali when the drifts of gold in the air
Betrayed where the broom was sweet,
She took the combs from her silken hair
And let it fall to her feet.
And in the days when the woods grew brown
And a red haze fringed the skies,
She wound it back, and wound it down
From her poor be Sildered eyes.
And a shadow sat in the land,
She lay on her bed from morn till night,
And turned the ring on her hand.
rhe midnight moon was blind with storms,
But her heart with dreams was light
For she cried, He has come let me 81 to hi
arms
And passed away from our sight.
We searched the valley, far and wide,
For print of a step-but no
And we combed her hair like the hair of bride,
And made her grave in the snow.
And we took the smile with trust so sweet
And we took the ripg-for a sign,
Aud the name we graved at her head and feet
Was FAITH-nt Madaline.
