From the Fircside Friend
Swept Overheard.
BY A DETROIT REPORTER.

Twas on the old Happy Day,-a
iopsail schooner plying in the lum-
Ter trade between Buffalo and Sag
inaw. was mate of her, and had
stuck by her so many seasons that
the idea of ever parting company
gave me a twinge under my vest.
Captain Valentine was a gruff
old dog, who had received his ini-
tiation on whaler. / sailed with
him five seasons, or until he found
a grave in Lake Erie, and up to
within few days of his death l
never knew that he had a daughter,
wife, son, or kin of any kind in the
country. In the fall, when we
went into winter quarters as well
as the vessel, the captain always
made for Detroit, but / did not
know why. He never chose to
volunteer any information in re-
gard to his domestic matters, and /
was not the one to pump him.
Twas therefore greatly surprised
one evening, as the Happy Day
was lying at q mill-dock in East
Saginaw, and l sitting on the rail
smoking my pipe, to hear a sweet
voice ask: "Is my father on
board I"
peered into the gloom, and saw
lady on the wharf, having trav-
cling bag, ETC., to show that she
had been travelling.
"And who is your father!" ]
asked, jumping off my seat and go
ing forward to within few feet of
her. 4ANnn raHIttt "a.
"Why, excuse me, but is this not
the Happy Day, Captain Valen-
tine 7"
at is madam" ! replied, "but
you are not Captain Valentines
daughter 7" AAAAH
"Certainly / am" she replied,
laughing merrily at the thought
that my old captain hadn't as good
a right as anybody to have a hand
some daughter. ss1 w sfta
assisted her over the rail, es-
corted her to the companion-way,
and then stood back while she went
down TO surprise the old man, who
was posting his books. / heard q
glad shout, his gruff voice asking
questions, and in few minutes he
stuck his head out and shouted -
"Here you, matey-come down
here q minute y
Iwent down, q good deal asham-
ed Of my long hair, bushy whiskers

VOtC hOs AaOsss@S SsSSASy
The nations voice doth now rejoice
To honor worth, 80 freely,
That North and South the shout goes
"WeIl vote for Horace Grccleyw
From pine-clad Maine to Texas plain
That shout goes forth so freely,
"Gainst puny rant that feeds on Grant,
"weIl vote for Horace Greeley"
sour hands Wen clasp" despite the wasp,
Who feeds on discord freely,
In joyful spasm, "across the chasm,"
To vote for Horace Greeley.
That old "white Hat" so long has sat
On brain that taught so freely,
And led the van for rights of man,
1t honors Horace Greeley.
The party lash cannot abash
The men who speak so freely,
And march along in column strong
To vote for Horace Greeley.
The patriot schurz will lash the ours
Who lie for pelf so freely,
The pensioned few will hide from view
of those who vote for Greeley
And Sumner bold in words Of gold
Has painted Grant so freely,
That none but knaves and party slaves
Can vote 'gainst Horace Greeley.
A slandered band in "Dixie's Land"
God speeds our cause so freely
The Germans true and Irish, too,
Will vote for Horace Greeley.
The men of toll will till the soil
Who read the Tribune frcelcy,
All say ''thcy shan't vote twice for Grant,"
But shall, please God, for Greeley.
From drunken cups, and blooded pups,
And reeking smoke, so freeley,
An honest band shall rid the land,
And give us Horace Greeley.

SOEEOWSs
No empty noise rings on the air,
No birds of passage veil the sun,
To warn us, destined for despair,
OF battles to be fought and won.
As shadows that by night are spread
Do softly DER our pathway dart,
So sorrows, with muffcd tread,
Approach their goal, which is our heart.
BY them some Of earth's fairest flowers
Are doomed to droop mid bitter tears,
Ere they have learned to count by hours
The sands which soon win run to years.
Ever onward, never turning.
Our every hope they fast consume;
Yet cen in their very burning
They serve TO light us to the tomb.
They sever locks untwined to care,
And strike the strongest Of the brave;
They lay to Death the bosoms bare
OF those the farthest from the grave.
Phantom like, in countless numbers,
They guard us when, at night, we rest,
Else, perchance, mid dreamless slumbers,
We'd fail to feed them on our breast.
And yet, these pangs, some after day.
Exalt alike both youth and age,
For freest do our feelings play
Whose names are writ on Sorrows page.
