General Grant and the Death Of Gen

From the Boston Advertiser.

From the boston Adyertl5er.
1t would be impossible to keep
up with the slanders, new and old,
with which the Presidents enemies
have determined to destroy his
good name. One Of tho last Of
these was invented and used by
General Fitzpatrick in Maine and
elsewhere, to The effect that when
General Rawlins lay on his death
bed he telegraphed to General
Grant at Saratoga: General, am
dyip g.; must see you before l
die come here!' Grant, said Kill
patrick refused :o' 60, pTeferring
rather to attend ball at Sal atoga.
Fitzpatrick dweIt upon the theme,
contrasting the dying agonics OF
Rawlins with the ingratitudc OF
General Grant in refusing to hast
en- to his bedside. The only grain
Of truth in his story is the fact that
the President was in Saratoga dur
ing Rawlins' last illness. While
there be received dispatch from
Gen. Sherman, merely saying,
"Rawlins is worse" At this mo-
ment special train was waiting,
which was to convey the Genera!
to Utica, where he was expected to
mcet'a large concourse OF citizens.
There was no urging, no entreating
in Sherman's dispatch to Grant to
hurry back to Washington. He
was simply informed, "Rawlins is
worse Grant instantly relin-
quished the visit to Utica ard hast
ened beck to Albany; there took o
freight steamboat not carrying
passengers to New York, saving
twelve hours of time; reached
Washington before Rawlins expir-

of his children, in whom he keeps

In early days our fathers wore
Their homemade buckskin breeches
Cut out by guess-work measurment,
With leather whangs for stitches.
But now their sons are called again,
To rally meath the banner
Borne by these men of leather,
The Cobbler and the Tanner,
The North and South, the East and West
Will work aud sing together,
Andmarch to glorious victory
For nothing wears like leather.
We hare some jobs on mongrel pelts,
And have the hands to do them,
Our Grant will neatly!curry them,
And Wilson wax it to them!
The chopper up at Chappaqua
May 20 on with his planning:
Wen let him furnish all the bark,
But Grant will do the tanning
The skinned chaps will uppe:s make,
The tough old hides tho neither;
The boiling. sore-head crowd will do
For nothing but split leather
TIE later Franklin statesman, sage.
Philosopher, and Farmer,
Retired in cool and rural shades,
As days grow long and warmer.
Can milk the gentle butternut
That grazes round with bell on,
And pan out butter sweet, for Gratz
To spread his watermellon
! Or he can seize hia ready pen,
| In stormy rainy weather,
And tell the world how shoe-pegs grow
Or modes of smelling leather
To spoil so fine husbandmap, r
Who perched up in the city,
Writes quires Of what he never knew,
1t surely we're q pity.
No let him breed the short.horn duck,
And Poland-C China gobbler--
Wen burden with the cares of state.
The Tanner and the Cobbler
The great array of Commonwealth
They'll bind a. with tether,
That ne'er again shall broken be-
For nothing holds like leather!
The Virtues, brains and honesty
OfHorace they poke at US;
As if the Cincinnati fraud,
Made him Cincinnatus
And while he seeks season brief
OF rural peace and quiet,
Pure water is his only drink,
Pure dirt his only diet
His old white hat and old white coat
Have served all kinds Of weatheri
But they are like bis principles
They will not wear like leather.
The squad that sought old Chippaqua,
To marshal meath bis pennon,
Will be surprised to meet our flag,
And find there is Hen on
That flag is borne by gallant hands,
Four Million votes behind it;
Alas where is the mongrel hope 2
$50 West'-they cannot find it!
Like Grant, when in the Wilderness
Well push in spite of weather,
And 'on this line we'll fight it out
There nothing is like leather!
Then Freedoms temple rear it high!
And if we need . cap-stone,
Or key to bind broken arch,
Take Henry Wilson's lap-stons.
To guard it, we mus! have a man
Who never halts or misses

The Tanner and the Cobbler are
: The men to work together;
They'll win the field aud keep it too

Forgery and Falsekcod.

The present canvass mas dcvei-
oped q wonderful amount of turpi-
tude and slander and God piovok

and abuse of Grant, and 10 make q
case they have condescended to,
downright forgery and infamous
SANDER. Hendricks and other
speakers, together with the retin
nc of ''organs'' have repeatedly ac-
cused General Grant Of receiving q
present OF 100000, from wealthy
zen of New York after he was
elected President, namely in Feb
ruary 1869. The fact is he receiv
ed the present in February, 1865.

There is fable among the Hindoos that
thief, having been detected and condemn
ed to die, happily hit upon an experiment
which gave him hope Of life. He sent for
his jailer and told him hat he had secret
of great importance which he desired to i'm.
part to the king. and when that had been
done he would be prepared to die o. re-
ceivng this piece of intelligence the king
ordered the culprit. to be cond ucted to his
presence, and demanded Of him to know bis
secret The thief replied that he knew the
secret of causing trees to grow which would
bear fruit of pure gold. The experiment
might be easily tried, and His Majesty
would not lose the Opportunity So, accom-
panied by his Prime Minister, his Courtiers,
and his Chief Priests. he went with the thief
to place selected near the city wall, where
the latter performed series of solema in-
carnations. This done, the man produced

The reason is clear The father laid the

own book-keepers, statesmen, cashiers, and
often porters, are followed by sons who dc

FASHIONABLE LIFE If there is any Ell.

mosphere of merely fashionable life. You
may take the tenderest and most beautiful

home, and loves her father and mother best,
and put her iuto the highest circle of fash
ionaole life, with plenty of money and
plenty Of scope to do as she pleases; let her
dress herself as she will 4; cover herself with
diamonds and pearls, costly silks and laces !;
let the love of admiration become the con-
trolling passion; and by and by, all the
tenderness Of that young nature passes away;
her thoughts concentrate upon herself, what
figure she is cutting, who her admirers are,
what conquests she can make; and by and
by the youthful, beautiful modesty is gone,
and the way is open for vice that, in the
beginning. would not have been dreamed

Poetry.
Country Life.

Not what we would, but what we must,
Makes up the sum ofliving;
Heaven is both more and less than just
In taking and in giving,
Swords cleave to hands that sought the plow
And laurels miss the soldiers brow
Me whom the city holds. whose feet
Have worn its stony highways,
Familiar with its loneliest street
Its ways were nearer my wSys,
Ny cradle was beside the sea,
And there hope, my grave will be.
Old homestead in that old. gray town,
Thy vane is seward blowing;
Thy slip of garden stretches down
To where the tide is flowing;
Below they lie, their sails all furled,
The ships that go about the world.
Bearer that little country house,
Inland, with pines beside it;
Some peach trees, with unfruitful boughs,
well, with weeds to HIDE it
No flowers, only snch as rise
Self-sown-poor things which all despise.
Dear country home can forget
The least of thy sweet trifes?
The window-vines that Chamber yet
Whose blooms the bee sill rifles
The roadside blsckberries, growing ripe,
And in the woods the Indian pipe il
Happy the man who tills the field,
Content with rustic labor;
Earth does to him her fullness yield,
Hap what may to his neighbor,
Wei! days, sound nights-oh, can there be
A life more rational and free?
Dear country life of child and man
For both the best and strongest,
That with the earliest race began,
And has outlived the longest;
Their cities persisted long ago;
Who the FIST farmers were we know.
Perhaps our Babies, too, will fall
If so, no lamentations,
For Mother Earth will shelter all,
And feed the unborn nations
Yes and the swords that menace now
Will then be beaten to the plow.
