Where the "Confounded Mother, Was.

tEli Perkins in New York Commercial Advertiserl
A gentleman who came up the Hudson on the
St John yesterday, tells this story:
II noticed he said, "a serious looking man,
who looked as if he might have been clerk or
bookkeeper The man seemed to be caring for a
crying baby, and was doing everything he could
to still its sobs. As the child became restless in
the berth, the gentleman took it in his arms and
carried it to and fro in the cabin. The sobs of
the child rritated rich man, who was trying
to read, until he blurted out loud enough for the
father to hear
What does he want to disturb the whole
cabin with that id baby for?'
The man only nestled the baby more quietly
in his arms without saying o word Then the
baby sobbed again.
Where is the COMPOUNDED mother that she
don't stop its noise?" continued the profanC
grumbler
At this the father came up TO the man Vnd
said; II am sorry we disturb you, sir, but my
dear baby's mother is in her coffin down in the
baggage room + IN taking her back to Albany
where we used TO live"
THE hard-hearted man." says my friend
buried his face in shame, but in a moment
wilted by the terrible rebuke, he was by the sid,
of the grief-stricken father. They were boil
tending the baby"

HOME CIRCLE.

In the New York Tribune of Friday, July
%, 1865, we find an acc cunt of the commence
ment exercises of Yale College, from which We
extract the following
GRAFTON AND POEM BEFORE PHI BETA KAPPA.
The poem by DR.. J. G. Holland was
splendid success. The dizziness of this frater-
nifty is not often enlivened with anything so
polished and entertaining and at the same time
so shrewd and sensible, lie proceeds to speak
Of one of the West Point heroes thus
Thanks to the school that gave to us the life,
That has famed highest in our noble strife
The splendid soldier and the modest man,
Who with tue hand to strike and the head to
plan,
Rose in the nation in its darkest hour,
And won his way by proves up to power;
Whose giant combinations and campaigns
Won from his boys the sobriquet-"Old brains.
One thrill of Joy we all remember well,
When Donelsoa with all its thousands fell
And when upon our Nations day of Days
After fierce struggle and prolonged delays,
Beleaguered Vcksburg dropped the rebel rag
And bowed in dust before the Nations flag
And thirty thousand prisoners of war
Marched out amid the smoke of one cigar
Phrases were powerless to express our joy,
And G en- the bravest shouted like boy.
But when our hero with his heroes all
Sat down before the Nations Capital,
And like q bulldog fixed his awful grip
Relentlessly on Rchmonds quvering lip,
And held it quivering till his plans matured,
And all his minor triumphs were secured,
And then shook out of it its guilty soul,
And swallowed Lee and all his army whole.
We went crazy shouted, laughed and cried,
Rang bells burned powder, sang and glorited /;
Praised all concerned, and laudei most of all,
Him who had given the foe his fatal fall
But quite forgot that cradle of cadets,
Where infant warriors sprout their epauledts-
That school which reared TO meet the Nation
want,
The peerless man and soldier, General Grant.
Thanks, too, for him the gallant, dashing blade,
Light in the saddle, heavy on the raid,
Whose gallant rides will live on storied page,
Like the brave exploits of a knightly age
Who turned the Valley of the Shenandoah,
Into long resounding threshing floor,
Where saber fails whipped out the Rebel grain
And straw and chat were threshed and thresh-
cd again,
Man of few inches, every inch man,
Flower of our chivalry, Phil Sheridan.
We wish every reader of the Tribune could
have heard the poem entire.

Shopping for q Testament.

"Say, Mister, will you swop a Testament
for some sugar ?" said a little lad to mis-
sionary of the Sunday School Union. 81
amt got no money, but here's some cakes
of maple sugar. Its all I've got to give.
They are mighty nice. Will you swop,
sir /? Mother wants the book and I'd like
awful we'll TO get ii for her.
The swop was made, and turned TO so
good an account, by the interest which the
story excited, that 200 little ones in those
backwoods were each made richer by the
possession Of a copy Of that same book.
Even a boy's two cakes of maple sugar are
not to be despised.

OF George A. Palm, formerly book
keeper In Moneys bank. He was
not long since examined By. the Com.

German, from him. stating that when
he received it the writer would be no

suicide by poison, but failed ; aud that
he was nearly crazy from opium. In
h letter he asks his friends not to
think Ill OF him, rs he was driven to
the act by want. Deceased was a mem.
Der OF the Order Of Druids, by whom

LABOR

An indlscreet aud brutal sentence
uttered by the Bishop Of Gloucester, Ia
causing Intense excitement in England
among the laboring classes. The
Bishop said that the agitators fought
to receive a ducking In the horse
pond :" which expression Is causing
meetings to be held by the working
men all over the country. The clergy
are denounced rs "these black coats
who want to grab our puddens out Of
Christian love-" The Bishop tried to
allay the excitement by saying that
the remark was made in jest, but did
not succeed, and the people demand
that "the Bishops who have starved
the curates so long. and now want to
starvs the laborcrs," shall be at least
stripped of. their revenues. The Eng-
llsh press Is much excited over the
subject, as It may lead to very serious
consequences. As SOME time a thrilling
wound will cause physical death. 50 4
scornful word may be the spark which
shall fire the magazine Of popular
opinion. and result In the explosion Of
dynasties.

GREELEY N A

Horace Greeley has been the enemy
of the South for the past thirty years,
and not until he was seized with the
Presidential fever did he profess friend
ship for Its people. No man In Amer
ica has given publicity to snch re-
vengeful feelings toward q section OF
the Union. He stands before the world
as convicted Of using expressions
toward political opponents which no
party necessity can defend or justify.
Yet he Is accepted BY the Democrats
as their standard earer to defeat the
party which gave him whatever proml-
enc he now holds. With his past
record. covering over thirty years OF
hatred, denunciation, and abuse OF the
Southern people, he comes before them
protesting to be their friend. Is he
honest In his professions? II lie is
then he has been dishonest all his life.
If he had changed his coat before he
was nominated the sudden conversion
might have had some effect, but to
change after his nomination looks
very like a matter Of convenience and
policy.
General Grant has been consistent
toward all sections. He Is rs true to-
DAY a. when no commenced his bril-.
liant career at Belmont. He has no
policy to enforce against the will OF
the people. A great soldier, as shown
BY bis deeds, he Is no less great as a
statesman. He has never sacrificed a
principle to lift himself into power.
He stands upon his merit as a man,
and Il willing to 60 before the bar OF
public judgment on his past and pres
ent record. He has lever said an
unkind word Of the South or its people.
On the contrary, he has shown per-
sonal sympathy when sympathy was
valuable, and official magnanlmity
when the reverse might have been eX-
pected. We are not prepared to believe
that even Southern Democrats are
ready to accept so false a friend as
Horace Greeley for so true and firm a
friend as General Grant. We know
that POLITICAL prejudice will oftentimes
blind the judgment, but when the Dem
ocra,lc party unite on "a lifelong
Ab~olitionist." as Summer styles Gree
ley, 1t Is high time for Its followers to
drop prejudice and allow reason to
exercise It's sway.
