TIRED MOTHERS.

A little elbow leans upon her knee,
Your tired knee that has so much to bear;
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps You do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours tight;
You do not prize his blessing over-nuch,
You almost are too tired to play tonight,
But il is blessedness! A year ago
II did not see ii as / do to-day
We are so dul and thankless; and too slow
To catch the sunshine till It slips away.
Aud now it seems SURPRISING strange to me,
That, while wore the badge OF motherhood;
did not kiss more oft, and tenderly,
The little child that brought me only good
And If some night when you sit down to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee,
This restless, curling head from off your breast,
This hsping tongue that chatters constantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had slipped
And meier would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into the grave had tripped,
/ could not blame you for your heart-ache theni
/ wonder so that mothers ever fret,
At little children clinging to their gown, ~
Or that the Footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frcwn.
If could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor;
If Icould kiss rosy, restless foot, -
And hear its patter In my home once more
If could mend broken cart to-day,
To-morrow make kite, to reach the sky lA
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blssfully content than I.

STRANGE PETs.-Susan Eberhart, the
unfortunate woman who was hanged at
Preston, on Friday, while in prison
waiting the execution Of her awful SEN
tence, whiled away the solitary hours by
making friends of the rats that had ac-
cess to her cell. A gentleman called to
see her few days before her execution,
and, after some conversation with her,
told her that he had understood that she
had some pet rats. Sho answered
afirmatively, and he then told her he
wanted to see them. She tapped on the
floor, when ont of their holes came the
rats, until no less than fourteen of them
had answered the call. They climbed
upon her lap, and up to her shoulders
and crawled about over her head, suffer
ing her to caress and handle them as she
pleased, and not one of them manifested
the smallest symptom OF alarm.

OUR TENDER HEATED PHEs1DESr.-A
Washington despatch informs us that the
President was deeply affected by the
news Of the disaster to the Polaris. This
is gratifying intelligence. inasmuch as it
upsets the general belief, that our mill
tary ruler is entirely destitute of feeling,
except where his immediate family is
concerned. But sympathy, like another
commendable virtue, should commence
at home; and i. would rebound much
more to the credit of Gen. Grant, if, in
stead of giving all his compassion to the
victims of the unknown gods of tho Po-
lar seas, he had bestowed some of it
upon the unfortunate victims Of usurpa.
tion and military violence in Louisiana.

Some Newspaper proprietors OF Lon
don have been comforting on their liza.
bility to be sued for libellous reporta.
They do not ask for exemption from re.
sponsibility, but that the law may give
newspapers the right to sue the speaker
Of the libel for the amount of the da.
IMAGES and costs. This seems reasonable
enough. It is hard rule that lets of
the utterer Of libellous speech aud pu.

"THE DEVIL TO PAY, AND NO P1rcn
Hot. "A party of colored men, residing
here, created quite stir, and got up u
regular panic among the colored people
OF the town md surrounding country, on
last Saturday. They professed to be on :
gagged IN organizing a company Of vo-
luntee- soldiers for the Modoc cam
paign against Captain Jack, and put
their enrolling sergeant to impressing
men right and left for the dangerous
service. Our newly y-enfra anchised fellow
citizsDs Immediately conceived perfect
aversion to the whole Modoc complica.
ton, and expressed their disgust for it
in terms of unmeasured disapprobation.
They swore roundly, squarely and pro.
fusely that they would not enlist for an y
such duty. The enrolling officer then
becnme moro and moro persistent and
earnest In his efforts to secure them es
soldiers, and the work became desperate.
Some tried to bluff him, some showed
fight, and others took to their heels and
ran clear out OF sight and hearing; the
latter class are probably in Rocky Bluff
swamp. The whole affair Was capital
'sell," and caused infinite amusement to
the parties concerned in practicing the
joke. Cuffee knows the difference, rs
we'll as any old militiaman, between
walking around town, in soldiers
clothes, to the music of fife and drum
and facing muskets. with A1odoc In
dians looking down their barrels. Gen.
Grant gave him enough OF real service,
and he prefors loa6ng around home for
the balance Of his mortal life.

Implicated in the commission of long

LIE lind OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY
The last scene in the most splendid com
mercial drama which the world ever Saw
is about to take place at Westminster
Palace. A bill has been introduced into
the House of Commons. by Mr.. Grant
Duff and Mr.. Ayrton, finally winding up
the affairs of the great East India Com
pany, and transferring its properties, as
we'll as its une1ampled powers, to the
British Crown. All those who go down
to the sea in ships, the merchants of
every CLINE. and engaged in every de-
partment Of the worlds trade, must wit
ness the extinction of this corporation
with an interest not unconnccted with a
feeling of regret; for tho East India
Company, in its something more than u
century of existence, showed above nll to
what heights of wealth and absolute au-
thority it was possible for commercial
spirit and enterprise to attain. No such
q history could have ever been imagined
by the most enthusiastic merchants of
ancient or modern times until it wan dis

Peace reigns supreme in Arizona, the
brave "boys in blue" having humbled
the Apaohes and brought them to terms.
not by the art Of prowess, but OF over
whelming numbers. At the peace con-
ference, Gen. Crook tried the humanita-
rian dodge, and attempted to instill into
the Indian mind the god-like mercy that
emanated from Washington and tenn.
pered Justice in their case; but the Willy
savages were too cunning to be eptrapped
by such moralizing. and stoutly insisted
that they wanted peace only because
they had. been thrashed and couldn't
fight any longer. which was great candor
on the part OF the red men. Schuyler
Pan made quiet answer to all the fine
speeches. saying that be Was ready, will.
ing-nay, anxious to stop fighting, not
from love Of peace, nor desire to change
his former mode OF life, but from fear
and trembling Of those soldiers that had
penetrated his country and driven him
and his Indians from their fastnesses,
that had never before been reached by
On enemy. He charged upon God having
made the Indian heart bad, for which he
blamed no one but God himself; butnow
that Crook had forced them into this to

willing TO accept it, and do as he (Crook)
dictated. SCHUYLER Pan is too bold

American people must realize the fact
that The creates. on!-eg. in America n
history has just been consummated i.
The unprincipled scofer may sneer at
the probable results. the fawning time
server may commend the deed, but th g
naked fact is there, that the plain written
letter OF the organic law presents no
Obstacle in the way OF brood of con.
spirators, banded together to rob and
murder. when they are backed by the
: arm OF the Administration. No ias.saes
will ever arise in which both the law and
the equity will be more clearly on th g
side of the victims; and no instance ever
lis likely to arise In which more persons
will admit the. fact. If such an outrage
can be consummated in the teeth of this
admission, then the will Of the Admins.
tration must soon become the supreme
law and not the Consultation.
It is shame and disgrace that a
stronger. more potent and effective ex.
preston, on the part of the North, has
not been called forth. The result sho ws
that each State may drop by lot. aud no
other State will mnrmur q complaint.
It is q just commentary on human na.

when snch contempt was shown to pub

never was time before when the Presi-
dent OF the. United States. with com.
pany Of sixty:eight soldiers; could seize
upon and hold possession Of State
capital soyetturn the legally. y.institutdd
State Government and set up another in
its stead. But it has at last come to this,
and what is to follow cannot even be sur
