barrels from huge wagon. He was in
the most exuberant spirits, and rubbing
his hands together Informed the major,
with a most gratified expression Of
countenance, that had secured most
magnificent lot of supplies.
In reply to the inquiry as TO the char
acter of the articles purchased, he said
there were thirteen barrels of whiskey,
two hams and q loaf of bread. He said
he would have purchased little coffee
and sugar, but he thought they did not
care about such fummery so long as
they had good stock Of the substantals
of life.

A NEEDLESS sEXPERIMENT.-Af face
tious individual not many miles from
Danbury, Conn.,, sought to draw his
wife out" by pretending to be found
dead with an empty laudanum phial
by his side. And that lady was good
deal shocked at first, but having read
that needle introduced into the hu.
man flesh would indicate on its surface
whether that flesh was dead, and being
a woman of eminent practicability, she
al once armed herself with a polished
instrument of nearly twoinches growth
and with throbbing heart and bated
breath introduced good share of its
length into an appropriate portion OF
the deceased. What the surface of the
needle really indicated was not learned,
as he took it with him as he passed
through the sash.-Erohan9e.

MARCH.
ny WIN. OEoGHEGAS.

THERE Is q singular Italian proverb, which
birds us"Neverspeak i'll ofthe month OF March"
A horseman though the valley sped,
Dark arched the branches overhead;
Wild blew the wind, black grew the night;
Wild torrents leapt to left and right.
Now, If hold the middle path,
And scape the waters in their wrath,
And reach yon light, which far l see,
BY Venus! ! twill be well for me-"
He reached the fire, he won the way,
Around its blaze twelve figures lay.
Welcome they gave, yet little spoke.
he shared their wine, he dried his cloak.
Welr'-%sre the figures OF his hosts,
and yet they seemed no fays or ghosts
Yet gazing on them brou sht a chill
A sense OF something vast and stnl.
The traveller had merry heart,
God shelters such In every part;
To every soul alive was he
As kind as mortal man could be:
Wild blew the wind, down blew the dust,
AS in the month of March 1t must;
And yet for all the dust and wind
He spoke of March In accents kind.
"Many, know" said he, "are rude,
And swear March gras does little good;
And that March winds and the May sun
Make linen white and maidens dun;
But then tits true, by all contest,
Birds ha tched in March are ever best;
And March, If 70 ugh. is sure, they say.
To make in time the loveliest May"
Around the fire murmur rolled
OF wonder, storm like, uncontrolled;
And a deep laugh ofawful sport,
Like Morse gods in the Thunder Court
And one arose from his earth-bed,
fresh, young giant, white and red:
"By all the winds meath Heavens arch!
What man is this who praises March?
Thou know'st us not, yet soon shalt know,
From us the years and ages grow.
Thou seest what man did never see,
For 10 the months in truth are we.
Ger every land / long have blown,
All that man says to me is known;
Yet never heard in all my search
man before who praised NtE-March!
,"And, traveller, Tor praising me,
Rich is the boon give to thee
No sun by day, no storm by night,
Shall give thee pain or cause thee fright
All wealth, all blessings man has known,
Shall ever freely be thine own;
Now go thy way in peace, and still
Be known as one who neer spoke ILL.,"

In 1868 the Radicals were great
stieklers for the one term principle
This is the way the. Washington.
Chronicle, one of j. W. Forney's pa
pers. {. both dailies'o talked about
that matter in July of that year: 81
/" Let tnot Congress adjourn without
passing the one-term amendment to
the Constitution. There has never
been so favorable an opportunity. All
parties are in favor of it. The present
incumbent of the Presidential Office
has no inducement to oppose it, Mo-
bod y's sensibilities can be offended
by it. .ij 1t cannot be charged as a party
movement designed to head off an OBJ
noxious President. General Grant is
in favor of it. The party which sup
ports General Grant demand it, and
above all else, public morality calls
for it. .slei- stf
&C Let US never again witness the ut
ter debasernentf of the Presidential
Office by efforts of the incumbent to
secure a secondternE The second
term makes the, first period of Chi
canery. 1t is the fertile germ of Ex-
ecutive policy and brings forth fear
ful crop of treaehery and lies. aa e
- g tbs the fomenfor of divisions be-
tween the departments and the indueer
of executive usurpations. ~ il -
q" 1t is constant peril to the liberties
of the country Ba eaf
Not a man or party in the ceantry
worth counseling with, wishes the
President to be eligible to re-election.
- Ii the opportunity is lost, and we
wait until after the next Presidential
election, we shall run counter to some
supposed personal or party interest in
re-opening the subject. Then why
wait? slD pase w
I" Lit need not take day to pass the
necessary amendment, and in the
present temper OF the country it will
be ratified. %
Congress should not adjourn with-
out passing the one-term aInendm ent.'
The Chronicle and Col. Forney are
now earnest advocates of Grants re-
nomination. The honest, consistent
and virtuous Fawney holds the lucra-
tive Office of Collector of customs al
Philadelphia, and that's what's the
matter.

the fiscal year to end June 80, 1872.
The amount collected two years ago
was about $194O00,000, showing an
increase of taxation of over thirty mil
lions as compared with that time, and
about $2oo0O,0oo as compared with
last year. And yet the Radical stump
ers and papers asserted during the late

the people through this source had
been diminished $80,O00,O00. They
viii undoubtedly do another JOB OF
tinkering the tariff in the interests of
the manufacturers during the present
session of Congress, but without con-
ferring any substantial benefit upon
the tax-ridden people.
