The truth about the matter is simply this
There has been NJ butter IN this market for
several weeks, and the miserable stuff which
has been sold, is calculated to invite an epi-
demc of forty horse power virulence. Do
you see that little package in that gentle
mans or ladys hand, about the size of
seidlitz powder? well that's but-but-but-
ter; that is, its a sort of dabolical imitation
Of it, scraped up, perhaps, by some nickel
prosecuting grocer, from lot of last years

browse, is an anomaly in rural things and

first visit to Matte; and as for Ellison, he
guessed he might as well forgive him. He
said this with sly glance, which Matte,
holding the key TO the mystery, understood.
She smiled, and looked kindly, but ex-
planned nothing.
David and Matte were married; and
soon after the wedding, as life was settling
into cheerful routine, it happened Ellison
Huntley returned to the village for few
days.
David met him with hearty welcome
and then followed little bantering talk
and from this was elected the surprised re-
mark that no engagement had ever taken
place or been proposed between Matte and
himself. "However much | might have
wished such happiness" he added gal
antly.
David reflected. The wife he had first
married had deceived him! "But she must
have loved me; this shows it-proves it"
he said, fondly to himself
He turned and met Mattie's blue eyes
with pleasant smile; and he loved her with
all his heart.

REVOLUTIONARY RELICS.
From the Troy Times, Nav 9th,

From the Troy Times, May 9Th.
We have been shown catalogue of two
hundred and sixty closely printed pages
giving list of the ordnance and ordnance
stores to be sold by the Government by
sealed proposals on the 2Sth of May and
18th of June. The material advertised
embraces all the condemned stores at twen-
ty-four arsenals and one hundred and thirty
forts and its value is beyond estimate.
Among the items advertised are l3, ,000, 900
pounds of lead at the Watervaliet arsenal,
tie value of which alone is between one and
two millions of dollars. The guns at the
arsenal captured by the Colonsts in the war
of the Revolution, and which have been
held as trophies for nearly one hundred
years, are included in the stores advertised
for sale. There arc seventy-two of these
canon now at the arsenal, and there is moth
ing about the grounds or buildings which
attracts SO much attention from visitors as
do these silent but glorious witnesses of the
struggles Of our forefathers. 1t seems like
sacrilige-nay it is sacrigious for the
Government to part with them. They
should be kept as memorials of the past.
A great many canon captured from the reb-
els are also offered for sale. TO this no one
will object, but we doubt if the American
people will look with any other feelings than
those Of modification if not indignation up
on the sale of these Revolutionary relics.
They are not SO poor in purse or in senti-
ment that they will care to see these troph-
les of the armies of Washington and Greene
and Schuyler sold and melted up for what
seems in this connection most gnobIe and
unworthy purposes. Some of the canon at
the Watervaliet arsenal were surrendered
by Bourgoyne ON the plains of Saltwater.
Now as there is no monument to mark the
spot where the flower of the British army
surrendered to our victorious yeomanry, it is
too bad that the canon captured there should
be destroyed and wiped out from the sight
of men. AS well might we obiterate from
the pages of history the gallant achieve
ments of our fathers on that field Of glorious
action. If our ordnance bureau is SO un-
p tr o.c rs to offer these canon for sale, we
hope at least the American people will be
too patriotic to bid for their purchase.

CITY BALLADS.
OUR REUNION.


Here, after many years,
Sit we again;
Here, with our pipes and beer,
Three sombre men
Charley, with furrowed brow;
Iron-gray Ben;
Jack, with an empty sleeve
All met again.
Charley, my good old friend,
Seems 1t not strange
That but dozen years
Made such changer
Thy hair was chestnut once,
Sunny as May
Now, like my own, It's grown
Scanty and gray.
The arm my worthy Jack
Left on the field
When, from the battle shock,
Thy toemen reeled,
Taught me, in bygone days.
Rivers to stem,
Climb for the squirrels nest,
Snare the marsh hen.
And once my brave old chum--
Nay, don't confess
Millie the soft-eyed lass,
Felt its caress
saw her bushes then
Mantle and glow
Pshaw! she's grown dowdy, Jack,
Five years ago.
All Ben, thou silent one,
Ever in DIR, ans;
Always tle rambler, thou,
OF hillside and streams.
Where is the laurel wreath
Posey, thy queen,
Promised thee ?-ah l see
Naught but the dream.
Dearest of friends of mine,
Now looking back,
Many gleam of love
Brightens the track.
Many glorious night
Shall be held dear,
Many shall glad us yet
Charley-the beer
