But when we were married, I found to my ruth
The stammering lady had spoken the truth;
For often in obvious dudgeol
She'd say-if ventured to give her a jog
In the way of reproof-"You dcg-dog-

A dog-a dog matte curmudgeon."
And once when said. 'sWc can hardly afford
This extravagant style with our moderate board p
and limited we ought to be wiser,
She looked, assure you, exceedingly blue,
And fretfulty cried, You're Jew-Jew-Jew-
very ju-dicious adviser
Again when it happened that wishing to shirk
Some rather unpleasant and arduous work,
begged herto go to neighbor,
She wanted to know why made such fuss,
And saucily said you're q OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
You were always a-cuss-tomed to labor'
Out of temper at last with the insoleut dame,
And feeling the woman was greatly to blame
To scold me instead of caressing,
mimmicked her speech, like churl as I am,
And angrily said, 'You're dam-dam-

One Of our New York exchanges says
Every day makes it planertha the nomi
nation of Mr.. Greeley, instead of disrupt
ing the Republican party, is dividing the
Democracy into sharply contending fac
tons. Among Republicans the Cincinnati
movement has made no visible progress
since the Convention. Not single Re-
publican paper that we recall, certainly
not journal of note and influence, which
had not already given its adherence in adj
vance has since extended any countenance
to the movement. Its support is confined
wholly to few scattered "independent'
papers which had committed their fortunes
TO this political venture. On the other
hand, number of papers which united
in advocating the Convention-and con-
spicuously the-German papers OF the coun-
try-haye openly repudated its action and
renouncod their support. And what is
true of The press is true of the people.
The result at Cincinnati fell far short of
the expectations of the movers and of the
prl,lie and has generally been accepted as
a failure"

The Springfield Republican admits that at
present the Greeley republicans in Msssschu-

The Richmond Enquirer backs down from

The convention nominated as candi-
date for Congress, Hon. JAMES G..

reclamation, moi voice dissenting, and
was hailed with the heartiest applause.

THE FOREST FIRES IN NEW YORK

The forest fires in New York along tie
line Of the Erie Railroad, and between Corn
ing and Hornellsvlle, ragged furiously last
week and did great damage. despatch from
Corning says. The mountains are covered
with young forests and thick underbrush; the
latter is as dry as finder. The sparks from
passing locomotives fall among the under
brush, the winds fan them into flame, and
soon volumes Of white smoke roll up. The
farm fences along the track are very dry and
coubustible they take fire easily and burn
rapidly. The flames in some places creep
uncomfortably near the passing trains. Piles
OF seasoned wood lying within a few feet of
the track have ignited, and the flames heat
the car windows and scorch the sides of the
coaches Everything Is enveloped in dense
and choking smudge. Here and there the
underbrush has caught fire presenting the ap-
pearance of innumerable camp-fres. Pieces
of timber are being thrown down the noun
tain side in order to save them. At evening
parties go out in carriages from the villages
to view the spectacle. There is no estimating
the amount Of damage done. The fires do
not reach the villages in consequence of the
gap of meadow land between them and the
burning embers and do immense damage.
At Tobyhanna the Tres in the woods are
now under CONTROL but not subdued The
village is out of danger, but the sawmills be-
yond the village are wrapt in flames The
woods caught fire from a spark thrown from
locomotive at Sandcuf. Men fought bravely
to stay the progress of the flames and protect
their homes. Mules and wagons were brought
into requisition for conveying water to places
where it could be adyantageously used All
sorts of implements were used to clear away
the nnderbrush and make a gap so as to give
the flames nothing to feed on. As the flames
touched the underbrush, a sound like the dis
charge of a million small guns was produced.
These woods have never been burned before
and the underground of dry stubble was as
combustibe as powder. Many families have
been obliged to fly with nothing but their
clothes. Their goods were all destroyed
At Port Leyden the woods were all on fire.
Families in the French settlement are pack
ing their goods in wagons, preparatory to q
hurried departure should it become necessary.
One house has been burned to the ground. A
large quantity of tan bark and wood were
burned. 1t is suspected that the woods were
set on fire. The French settlement is a very
old one. The dispatch closed by stating that
such extensive forest fires have not occurred
in that section in many years before,

prospect therefore is not very encouraging
10 a liberal movement, and Mr. Blaine
will walk over the course with but little
opposition. Mr.. Blaine is just in the
prime of life, able by experience, cultiva-
ton and yigor to be more useful to his
constituents than ever, and rejecting
honor upon them by the rank he holds in
Congress and the national reputation
which he has achieved nc statesman.
The delegates to Philadelphia are in
structed TO vote for Grant and Colfax.
There was no dissent from this expression
in the convention Confidence in the ad-
ministration is strong No change in the
ticket is desired We are not disposed to
exchange the present trusted leader for a
new and untried man, until the difficulties
growing out of the rebellion are conquer
