We SHALL SLEEP, BUT NOT FOREVER

We shall sleep but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn;
We shall meet 20 part, no, never!
On the resuu ecion mornl
From the deepest caves OF ocean,
From The desert and the plain,
From the valley and the mountain,
Countless thrOngs shall rise again.
When we see precious blossom,
That we tended with much care,
Rudely taken from our bosom,
How our aching hearts despair
Round its lite srave We hnger,
Till the setting san is low,
Fee ing al our hopes have pe,ished
WITH the AoSer we cherished so.
We shall sleep, but not forever,
In the lone and silent grave;
Blessed be the Lord that tsketh,
Blessed bs the Lord that gave.
Ia toe bright, eternal city
Death can never, never come!
In his own good time he'll call us
From cur rest to Homs, sweet Home.

The oak trees boughs once touched The grass
But every year they grew
A little farther from the ground,
And nearer toward the blue.
So live that you each year may be,
While time gdes swiftly by,
A little farther from the earth,
And nearer to he sky.

Sing Sing by jumping from the arch

put them off the train. Then the
locomotive was detached and a full
head of steam put on. None of the
convicts we're engineers, but Boyle
knew enough about the machinery
to keep the locomotive in motion.
at Tarrytown the water got low in
the boiler, and soon after the cylin-

the locomotive. None Of the con
victs were injured by the explosion.
They then fled into the woods. The
engineer, before leaving, had ''shov-

the subsequent explosion. AS soon
as possible the cOnvicts were purSu

stations down the line to apprehend
the fugitives. The engineer and
fireman of the locomotive that had
been stolen were found returning to
Sing Sing. They told their story,

manner in which the convicts had

THE ATTORNEYS OPPOSE COMPROMISE.

Those professional gentlemen whose
bread and fame depend upon fighting
even the most forlorn points at the ex-
pense of their client, are opposed to any
adjustment which terminates their retain
er or refresher fee. This is natural. We
can well understand that to obtain VIC
tory by ability or astuteness is a valuable
professional advertisement, and that he
who gains pepper-corn verdict for a
ruined client may derive therefrom
wealth and honor. We have known in
stances in which an attorney would vol
unteer in desperate case that the public
might see his ability. 1t is called speak
ing 'to the back Of the bar" People
go away with exaggerated ideas of the
lawyers ability, while the poor devil ar
raigned goes to the State prison or to the
poorhouse. 1t may be somewhat on
that principle that, the political affairs
Of this State having gone into quasi
bankruptcy, seven eminent attorneys en-
gagged without fee or compensation to
conduct the process of liquidation and
distribution. These gentlemen have
looked steadily at the points under dis
cassion. They have advised when plea
was to be filed or withdrawn. They have
urged the parties to maintain their alb
stract rights if it cost them the last nickel
in the market basket. At last, their con-
sentative clients have come to see that
these attorneys are no match for the
legal authorities Of the federal govern
ment. That even the presidential cleo
ton Of 1876 can not possibly bring .

a TEST OF SECURITY.

| A committee has just reported deplor.
able poverty among the citizens of New
Orleans. Our charities are sadly in wan
of means. Our commerce has been Gu
of, and the State and city securities
quoted at rate SO low, as to be almost
unsaleable. In this condition of things
the Republican Legislature purchases a
toy called Estate House" for the price Of
a quarter Of million of dollars. This,
ifpaid at par in greenbacks arising from
the sale of State warrants, would cost, at
| fifty cents on the dollar, five hundred
thousand dollars. These obligations, if
the State shall ever pay its debts,
| will cost the sum stated with interest.
Taking the published history of the St.
Louis Hotel and comparing its value with
that Of other real estate, it would not at
this day command $4,000 cash. It has
been rendered unfit without entire altera-
tisn for any other purpose and would cost
the purchaser as much as the price
stated to restore it as hotel or to fit it
for any other purpose than State House.
There can be no reason why the Legisla-
ture should create this addition tn the
State debt, and indeed no reason why it
should either purchase or build State
House at this time, when it
might rent on favorable terms one
of several buildings in or near the city.
We are concerned to say that the financial
arguments and statements offered in favor
of this bill were scarcely worthy even of
a lobby attorney. We again call the
attention of our friends to the fact that
the whole responsibility of reform
session is upon them. The issues of 1876
are now being made up. The discomfort
of the taxpayers is quietly awaiting the
redemption of Republican pledges Such
indefensible measures as this purchase of
an old tavern at an exorbitant price will
not meet the approval of the people
and does not comport with the
policy of the Governor, nor of
those Republicans who must bear
the responsibility Of defending or of ad-
hitting every act which the opposition
can charge against the present Legisla-
tnre. The Representatives elected by the
opposition have even more to bear than
ourselves. The people complain Of the
public Indebtedness. Suppose an addi-
ton of even $3.50, 900 be made for a pur-
pose that might be dispened with or for |
property not worth half the price con-
tracted to be paid for it. Do the Demo- |
cratic Representatives think their con-
will be satisfied with their alb
sence and acquiescence in this or
other questionable appropriations? 1t is |
for these representatives to say. If they |
are seeking to bear more debt and |
to lose measures Of reform as an |
issue of 1875, it is all right But we can
tell these representatives that. if they
really wish reform they had better waive
the recognition Of McEnery and Witt,
take their seats in the Legisla ture and
reinforce the Governor and the Repub-
lean reformers against the batteries of
The lobby and that percentage of human
weakness and human need which appears

THE OLD WING ELEMENT AT THE SOUTH
The Wings of the South are thus spoken
of by Thurl0w Weed:

OF ny lnurl0W weed
The Union had no truer, or holder, or
more devoted friends through all its pOlit-
zeal trials for twenty-five years than the
Wings Of the South, whose representative
men were distinguished alike for talents,
integrity and patriotism. There
was numerous band of enlightened and
patriotic Wings who resisted notification,
and who tor ten or fifteen years afterward,
by boldly opposing the encrOachments and
aggressions OF Southern Democrats, bridged
over many dangers and prevented catas.
trophe. l am even yet unwill-
ing to relinquish the hope that the Wing
epirit of the South will reassert itself, and
uniting with congenial Northern sympa-
thies, work out wholesome results.
This is undoubtedly just tribute to
party which was denounced by the
Democracy before the war as abolition
lists, and, excluded from any position of
influence in the War, furnished to the
Confederate cause many Of its bravest
and best men. No effort has been made
to rally the Wings Of the South since the
war, while the Democracy has sought by
union with the Northern Democracy to
regain the coutrol of the federal govern
