The Boston Journals correspondent SAYS
The rural orator may not have so exalted AN
opinion of eloquence, but he knows Il great dead
more about Greenback-Democratic methods.
The action Of the convention in dividing the
State into districts. and allowing those sections
to nominate Representatives for the general
ticket is well understood. 1t is the purpose Of
the managers to put the name of Samuel j. An
dersOn on the Congressional ticket. Mr. Ladd

claring for Greenback candidates and prnc-
pies, and denouncing entangng alliances as
did Governor PlaiStcd in his letter TO the Chair

two Bourbon Democrats of coppcrhead antcce-
dents would be croWding such patient mourn
crs as are the delegates to the Greenback Con
vention The third of the convention. who
honestly believe in the rot called 'sGreenback

high handed proceedings and go over to Solon
Chase. Now if this work can be done by dis
trict conventions, and Messrs. Anderson and
Ladd are got upon the ticket by indirection.
they hope that those who are afraid of the Dem

will lie very quietly in the VOLTS stomach when
once introduced without being aware of the

DAILY DYING.

The maple does not shed its leaves
In one tenipestuous scarlet rain,
B Bitsoftly, when tn south win grieves
Slow, wondering DER wood anl plain,
One by one they waver through
The indian summers hazy blue,
And drop at llst Oh the forest mold,
Coral, and ruby, aud burning gold.
Our death is gradual like these,
We die with every waning day;
There is no watt OF sorrows breeze
But bears some heartbeat slow
away!
Up and on to the vast To BE.
Our life is going eternally!
Less of life than we had last year
Throbs in your veins, and throbs In
mine,
But the way to heaven Is growing
clear,
And the gates Of the city fairer shine,
And the day that our latest treasures
flee
Wide they will open for you and me.

French Idea Of Women.

Women have no worse enemies
that women.
One must DO q woman to know
how to revenge.
Woman corce is only what she
does not know.
Woman is a creature between man
and the angels.
Woman is moro constant in hatred
than in love.
Most women curse sin before en-
bracing penitence.
Women who have not fine teeth
only laugh with their eyes.
Friendship between women is on-
ly q suspension Of hostilities.
Women ask il q man is discreet.
as men ask if woman is pretty.
When woman is no longer attrac-
tive she ceases to be inconstant.
Women never weep moro bitterly
than when they weep for spite.
Tue most chaste woman may b,
the most voluptuous, if she loves.
When q woman cannot bo reveng.
cd thoy do as children do thoy cry
A woman and her serveut, acting
in accord, would ouLwit a dozen
dovils.
A woman gives tho audacity which
her beauty prompts us to be guilty
Of
Women like balls and assemblies
M hunter likes Il place where gam,
abounds.
Woman is charming creature
who changes her heart as easily ~
hor gloves.

And how I remember so distant and
dim,
That red0headed Bill, and the pin

And carefully put under him
And how I recall the surprise Of the

When bill gave yell, and sprang up

So high that his bullet head busted

That active boy, Billy, that high
leaping Billy!
That loud-shouting Billy, that sat

REBEL PRISONS.
For Tho PosT.
by DIR. Il. ROTHR0CK.

The prison at Andersonville was
situated on two hillsides, and thro'
the centre ran a sluggish brook,
branch. as il was called. There
were no signs of vegetation in the
pen-it had all been trampled out
Our squads were ordered to take
positions near the brook, on the
borders, and partially in o murky
slough or swamp. This was be-
tween the brook, or branch, on the
north side, and was used by the
prisoners as '.sink," until it had
become pestilent with a dreadful
stencil.
Sadly thinking Of home, and its
dreadful contrast here, that night
We lay down in the rain aud dirt.
on the filthy hillside, to endeavor
to get rest. But when sleep visited
us, it was with an accompaniment Of
horrid dreams and fancies, more
than realized in the horrors Of the
future, aud familiar now, more or
less, TO the whole civilized world.
With burdened hearts we relied
how hard was our position.
The frat morning after our ar
rival about twenty pounds Of bacon
and a bushel OF Indian meal was
given mo TO distribute among ninety
men. % .aqpr'aPi
We had no wood TO cook with,
