In thy long, lonely times, poor aching
When days arc slow, and silent nights are
sad,
Take cheer, weak heart, remember and be
glad,
For some one loved thee.
Some one, indeed, who cared for fading
For time touched hair, and weary falling
And in thy very sadness found charm.
To make him love thee.
God knows thy days are desolate, poor
heart,
As thou dost sit alone, and dumbly wait
For what comes not, or comes, alas too
late,
But some one loved thee.
Take cheer. poor heart, remembering
what he said,
And how of thy lost youth he missed no
grace.
But saw some subt.er beauty in thy face.
So well he loved thee.
1t may be, on Times farther shore, the
Love the sweet shades of those they missed
on this,
And dream, in heavenly rest, of earth 5
lost bliss
So he shall love thee.
Til then take cLeer, poor, silent, aching

Content thee with the face he once found
fair,
Mourn not Tor fading bloom, or time touch

The Egyptian Legislature.

Colonel James Morgan, of South
Carolina, gives the following account
of the life and death of the Khedive's
attempt to follow European fashions in
law-making:
When the Viceroy returned from
France, he called bis prime ministers
together and said, ''in order to have a
great country we must have legisla-
tive body" and he then made known
his plans. Delegates were selected
from various districts and informed
that they must be divided in opinion,
that every measure should be debated,
and the minister who called them to-
gether said: '.Now, all who favor the
government will stay on the right, those
who oppose it will cross over to the
left, and those undecided viii remain
in the centre" No sooner was the
division called, than all the delegates
made rush for the right. There was
no opposition or no medium party.
''This won't do, said the minister,
''there must be an opposition" and he
called to him an old Shiek named Ibra-
him and said:
"You must lead the opposition.
"W-hat is it ?" asked Ibrahim.
"Well, then, the government intro
duces law you must protest and argue
against it.
"Hum," said the Shiek, 'if the
Khediyc says he wants so-and-so, am
to say no, you shan't have it.
"Yes, said the minister.
4 jovial smile lighted Up the tanned
lcathercd face Of old Ibrahim; he
shook his head and said, none for
Shiek Ibrahim too much bastinado. .
After a time, by liberal bribery, an
opposition was established. One day,
when the Minister, Hassman Bey, was
absent, one Of the opposition violently
opposed a measure of the Khedive's.
A government member from Pama
jumped up and moved that the oppo-
sition member be bastinadoed for trea-
sonable conduct The motion was
carried, and the reousant Egyptian
was knocked down and bastinadoed on
the floor of the House. That was the
last session of the Egyptian Corps
Legislatiff.

A Theatrical Incidert.

Some years ago the manager Of a
E'well regulated theatre, somewhere
along the line Of the Erie canal, en-
gagged a good-Looking and brisk young
lady as supernumerary. It happened
that the young lady in question had
formerly Oliciatcd in some capacity as
a ''hand" en- board canal boat, fact
she was anxious to conceal. She
evinced much anxiety to master the
details of her newly-chosen professions,
and soon exhibited a more than ordi-
nary degree of comic talent. She
was duly promoted, and in time be-
came a general favorite with both
manager and public.
One night she was announced to ap-
pear in favorite part, 4 couple of
boatmen found their way into the pit,
near the footlights, particularly anx-
ious to see the new famous coincidence.
The house was crowded, and after the
subsistence of the general applause
which greeted her appearance, one of
the boatmcn slapped his companion on
the shoulder, with an emphatic exple-
tive, exclailning loud enough to be
heard over half the house:
''Bill, | know that gal -
'.Pshaw," said Bill, dry up
'.But I'm cuss'd if l don now, Bill.
It's Sal Flukins, as sure as you're born.
She's old FIukins' daughter that used
to run the Injured Polly" and she
used TO sail with him.
''Tom, you're a fool, and if you
don't stop your internal clack, you'll
get put out. Sal Flukins. You know
sight if you think that's her"
Tom was silenced but not convinced.
lie watched the actress in all her mo-
tions with intense interest, but ere
long broke out again:
Il tell We, Bill, that's her-l know
It's. You can't fool me- know her
too well.
Bill, who was good deal interest
ed in the play, was out Of patience at
this persistent interruption on the part
of Tom. He gave him a tremendous
nudge in the ribs with his elbow, as an
emphatic hint for him to keep quiet.
Tom, wiahout minding the admoni-
ton, said:
You just wait-I'll fix her, keep
Your eye on her."
Sure enough he did fix her. Watch
ing his opportunity when she was deep
ly absorbed in her part, he sung out in
a voice which rang through the gal
4cries:
''Losc Brj3gs..'
From force Of habit, the actress in
stantIy and inyo'uatarily duckcd her
head to avoid the anticipated collision.
Down came the house with perfect
thunder of applause a; this palpablo
''hit" high above which Toms voice
could be heard, as he returned B;Ils
punch in the ribs with interest:
Didn't | tell you old boy, I knowd
1t was her. You couldn't fool me.

by whippings of such extreme cruelty
as often to end in death; by most in

A single instance of these thousand
outrages perpetrated upon an American
citizen on foreign soil, would be tho't
ample cause for war; and our entire
navy would hasten to enforce the Ma

is daily meted out to these humble

would arouse the whole American

The Democratic Candidate for Auditor Gen.
era1

Gen. McCandless is the Democratic
candidate for Auditor General of Penn
sylvania. Who is Gen. McCandless?
Has he any special merits which have
pointed him out among his fellow Dem
ocrats and designated him as the prop
crest person to lead them in an impor-
tant political contest and to occupy one
of the most prominent and responsible
Offices in the government at Harris
burg I? If this be the case he has been
slow to manifest these peculiar merits.
His experience in civil affairs has been
very limited, he has no more than or
dinary mental ability, to say the least,
and we hazard the assertion that in the
qualifications demanded by the office
to which he aspires, there are a thous-
and Democrats in the State quite his
equals.
Why, then, has he been chosen by
the Democrats to bear their banner in
the contest now pending?
1t is simply because of the title he
bears. A military prefix to mans
name, nowadays, implies something
not always moritorious but generally
so-in the Northern States. Butwhqt
is the significance of the honored title
of the Democratic candidate for Audi
tor General As this is the glittering
bait thrown out by Democratic anglers
to catch gudgeons We deem it due to
the loyal public as well as to those
meritorious soldiers who went into the
fight against rebellion and fought it
through that the veracious history OF
this ambitious individual should be
kept before the people whose votes are
solicited for Lin.
1t appears that Gen. McCandless
entered the volunteer service of the
United States in November 1861 and
retired in June 1864. His record du-
ring that period is not illumined by
any brilliant displays of personal gal
lantry or military genius, buthis friends
believing him still to be devoted to the
cause IN which lie had ouoo enlisted,
and willing to open to him a wider
field for the display Of his genius for
var, applied to the Secretary of War
for his promotion to the grade of Brig
adler General. Thisappealwas prompt
iy and favorably responded to by Sec
retary Stanton and note rendering
him such promotion was sent from
Washington to the doughty Colonel,
then enjoying his oti5tm cam dignitate

To BaIG GEN L. THOMAS,
Adj. Gen. u. S. A, July 80 1864.
This letter, it will be perceived, was
written at a time when the government
was greatly in need of troops to pros
ecute the war, and only one month
prior to the time when the Democratic
party in National Convention at Chi
cago, declared the war for the Union a
failure. Whatever might have been
Gen. McCandless opinion, or however
sincere and earnest might have been
his exertions in the cause of the Union
prior to this letter, by refusing at this
time to extend his arm IN its defense,
for such reason, he forfeited ali the
honors he had won and all the merit
of his services at the head Of his regi-
ment in the field. lie that was not
for the government at that time was
by fair inference against it, and all the
laurels achieved by the partizan Colo
mel were gathered confessedly in the
ignoble service Of human slavery. Is
this the kind Of military glory that

sylvania ? We trow not.
