Your coming in last night. my lady.love,

Into the room, and tossed your head for shame.

Shoot up your cheeks and tremble IN your eyes;
Drive frightened clouds across tempestaous

A pretty woman-very, very mad.

You bear queens 3 name, and queen you are, }
With which you Gionned your lhibet opera cloak !,
"A nd clasped it with diamond like n star;
Twas charming in my mistress. But, my life,
1t would not be 80 charming IN my wife.
like wild things, as have said, but then
should not like to own them. Who would be
Proprietor OF earthquakes, or loose hurricanes,
Or comets plunging in celestial seas?
Or we'd. u maid that could, if she should please.
Give him q touch OF one and all of these.
NOtI. Don't let female thunder storm
Brood in your eyes. with every nod, and then
A fash of angry lightning. You have had
Your March and April; now be June again,
And let your fine cut eyebrOw.' silken span
BE bows of promise to your favorite man.
I've had my laugh, and you your pout ,ani now
(You'll spoil that rosebud il you twist it SOL
Give me both hands that may say 'GOod Bess,
The good Queen Bess,' and kiss you ere go
The good Queen Bess, whose heart, and mind
and face,
Teach me to love ALL women-as a race
So, when kissed your pretty cousin Nell,
hOnored one who taught me to admire
Fair women in their twenties-dOn't you see ?
But then deur BesS, as 1 WAS standing by her,
Her lips quite close-nOw this is entries nous
Upon my soul. 1 made believe twas you!

Some idea of what nice, soft place
the presidency of tae United States
is may be obtained from the follow
ing annual expenditures for the
White House: $4,000 salary; Pri-
vate Secretary at So 500 an Assistant
Private Secretary at So, 800; two
clerks at So, 800; steward at $1,000;
a messenger at 81 200; furnace-kecp-
er at 1864 night-watchman at 5000;
an usher at 81, 200; two door-keepers
at ST. 400. But this is not all. The
contingent expenses, including sta
tionery, are 5000; the annual re-
pairs cost $4,000; the annual refur-
nishing $4,000; fuel for Executive
Mansion and greenhouse, 5000;
lights and fixtures, lamps and gas
fittings, $50, 900; official postage stamps
$600-making in all about $116, 900
year. The expenses under other FORM
CIR administrations have been scarcely
one half what they are now. This is
"Grantisin."

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan

Our excellent contemporary. the Plea
wn,e, yesterday morning said, speaking
OF the probable candidacy of Grant,
Morton or Blaine: '"rhe unsubdued
Righteousness Of the South Is the one
plank upon which a candidate Of that
description can hope to float upon the
nood-tide offortune to Office and power. +"
The "unsubdued Righteousness Of the
South" has been a first-rate card In the
Republican game, but not their only
one. II we give up our Righteousness"
they will still play out their hand.
They proposed to overthrow the govern
ment Of Arkansas because the people Of
that State called Constitutional Con-
vention. The other day Senator Morton
urged measure looking TO the upsetting
Of the government of Mississippi, upon
the ground that ut some time In the re-
mote past that State had rcpudiated
her bonds, and that. at another time,
there had been financial crisis among
her wildcat banks. Alabama and
Georgia are SO disloyal that they want a
dog law, and II their Legislatures pass
one there IL little doubt that Morton or
Blaine will insist upon sending troops TO
their Capitals to suppress such start
ling evidences OF rebellion. AT least
Senator Gordon seems to think such
might be the case.

That is just al out the number il will
be next time II the House OF Represen-
tatives let Kellogg alone to manipulate
the election. The Returning Board will
grind grist that will necessitate U. S.
Grant sending the bold banditti smasher
and champion liar, Phil Sheridan, down
here to pack another Legislature and
save the Republican party. Then, too,
will the other small dogs join
in the chorus. Dibble will yelp
before another Congressional Com
mittee that he has seen 12,40l muir
ders committed in Louisiana while sit
ting on the bench, and swear blue that
they were all "trooly loil" Republicans,
murdered for devotion to the party.
