SnMEROnY.

Somebody's eyes have grown DINNER,
OF in some quiet old home;
At morn, when the evening stars glimmer,
Watching for some one to come
Watching while hearts grow the sicker,
As day after day glides along.
Watching, while tears fall the thicker,
Choking the lullaby song.
Somebody, wandering over,
Lands far away from his own,
Scents as Of old the sweet clover
That grows by the old door-stone
Leugs to 90 back and TO minge,
AS in the dim days of yore,
With those round the old cottage ingle--
Those who, alas are no more.
Somebody's prayers are ascending
Ever for dear ones far away,
Prayers that His blessing attending
May keep them from going aslray;
Prayers that float nearer and nearer
The throne Of the Father above,
And reaching the ear of the Elearer,
Are answered in infinite love.
Somebody's life-work is ended
Patient they wait now to go
Long have they faithfully wendell
Toiisome paths here below.
Soon the reward they'll be reaping
That to the faithful is given
" Well dcnc; come up ~ and be keeping
Watch for somebody in Heaven.

Letter from General Early.

General Juhal A. Early, Of Virginia, Of Con-
ederate fame, has written n letter in reply to
mn invitation TO attend Greeley and Brown
meeting at Winchester, Virginia, advising his
friends 10 vote for The ticket nominated by the
democratic party. Hitherto General EARLY has
been understood to oppose Mr.. Greeley's nom
nation, but while he does not now approve il,
he says he is not going, because he cannot have
his own way, to part company with the only
friends he recognizes and leave the State in
the hands Of those who would prey upon her
vtals, for if the vote of Virginia should he
cast for Grant at the coming election, he looks
upon it that at the next general election his
supporters will obtain possession of the State,
and by thai means consgn the people Of Nir-
guia to a government like that of South Car
ona. General Early is very severe upon the
Confederate renegades, - whom he character
ICES MS "the worst Of the whole lot" of the
radical party of the State In discussing the
claims Of magnanimity set up for Gen. Grant
by his friends in regard to his treatment oil
General Lee, General Early makes the follow
ing interesting statements, which are not gen-
| orally known:
''For II soldier to grant honorable terms to
an adversary who has shown his proves il
the most unmishkable manner requires no
very great stretch Of magnanimity, but is gen
orally regarded among brave men as a matter
OF course, and there are numerous Instances to
he found OF such terms granted even by those
we would regard us burbariaus. The terms
granted 10 General Lee army at Appomattox
were matter Of stipulation, and not of grace
and have the authority Of General Lee him
self for SAYING that ii honorable terms had no
been granted him he would have made the Of
fort TO cut bis way out with the troops lef
| him. The statement sometimes made tina
Grant returned General Lees sword to him hal
DO foundation in fact, Tor By the very terms o
the surrender all officers were allowed 10 re
tain their side arms, their private horses ant
baggage. As TO the claim in the pamphlet 70
magnanimity on Grants part in interfering t
prevent General Lee from being prosecuted
the obvious answer is that Grant s own homo
was involved in preserving inyioatc the term
granted General Lee and his army Had III
not interiered TO prevent II breach of faith h
would have been dshonorcd in the view o

The Falsehoods Telegraphed North by
Government Officials at Savannah.

Colonel Mcdonald, an exhibited States army
officer, and Republican, has published card
in the Savannah Ad0ertiser, denouncing the
telegraph of Hale TO Postmaster Edmunds, as
to The alleged oulrnges By Democrats on col
ored voters. Mcdonald says:
In your morning issue Of this date appears
dispatch purporlng to have been gent by one
N. II Hale, the special agent or detective Of
the Treasury Department Of the United States
for this section in reference TO our late cleo
ton, in which he says the Greeley party had

were prevented from voting. Now, srs, | de-

cious falsehood. That the Greeleyitcs or DEM
ocrats took possession of the polls is false -
That there was any interference or attempt
made TO prevent colored men from voting

ter is this Certain Custom-house employees
and parties from the country and the cts
cheated the colored men out of their votes
They received their dollar, the amount Of the
poll-tax required BY law, giving their receipt
for the same with the understanding that it
was all right

lieu OF the tax collectors certificates required
by law. OF course these bogus receipts were
rejected. As for the POLLS being surrounded by
the police, and the roads leaning TO the CITY
picketed, and voters coming from the country
being driven back, il is rs false and black
hearted lie rs the man who wrote it, IF this
dispatch has been concocted for political pur-
poses, which presume il has, aud sent North,

ions in arms that 50 far as Snvaunali-nay,
even Georgia, is concerned, there is no State
in the Union, or no city in the world, where
au honest man will be better treated than here
but what could you expect from such men
Their associations in politics are what-peni-
tertiary birds Perjurers. and thieves, all of
which can prove if called upon; and IL my
colored friends have been defeated, they can
thank their leaders, for to follow in the wake
Of such men is snre defeat.

One day Mrs. Shrimpetifel, during 6
neat fit, took upon herself TO clean the
house and things. So she did, and she
cleaned the headboard, and with SOAP
and water settled the old mans accounts
by wiping away every chalk mark.
Pretty soon, before long, the old ven

The Instincts OF Animals.

A man in Wilmington writes TO his
newspaper to relate an extraordinary
proof of the fact that even in animals
The ruling passion is strong in death
He purchased -a-dczen links of sau-
sages and took them home, and placed
them upon the cable. A few moments
afterN ard he happened to whistle, when
he observed the whole of that sausage
throw off the brown, paper wrapper and
leap upon the floor. He cut the links
apart and replaced them The next
morning lie was surprised to find three
of them cuddled together sleeping
sweetly, two of them crawling around
the milk pail tapping the milk, while q
black and white one was roosting ont
on the back fence "poitins" at a pigeon
on the shed He was obliged to drown
them before they could be used. How
strange is the instinct of animals! And
how beautifully does Nature, by provi
ding it,compensate them for the absence
of reason-Nar Adeler in Sunday Dis
