Al OLD BALLAD.

The author If the old ballad, I'll
Hang My Hal Upon Willow Tree, IS
not known, sa the St Louis Star Stdysngj.
1t was writer come 60 years ago There
was fantasti story current that 1t was
written by on Of the attaches OF the court
of Queen V :GOria. who had been rash
enough. because the young Queen had
shown him SON: marks OF favor to falI
in love with hI> royal mistress. Upon her
marriage to Prince Albert, it is said, this
love lorn yout'. joined the Indian service,
and died in India. There are, however,
no attached facts on which the truth or THIS
story can be ba~ed, and it Is probably a
mere figment of the imag inatiOn. The
words of the song, which is now almost
forgotten, are as follows:
I'll hang my harp on a willow tree,
I'll off to til, wars again
Nv peaceful home hath no charms for me,
The battlefield no pam
For the lady love Will soon be bride,
With diadem on her brow,
Oh why did she fiatter my bOyish pride?
She's going TO leave me now.
She took me away from my warlikc lord
And gave me silken suit
thought no more Of my masters sword,
When | played on my masters lutte.
She seemed to think me boy above
Her pages Of low degree
Oh had but loved with a bOyish love
1t would have been better for me
But one golden tress of her hair FL Irvine
In my helmets sable plume,
And then on the field of Palestine
I'll seek an early doom,
And If by the Saracen'S hand fall,
Mid the noble and the brave,
A tear from the lady love is all
| ask for the warrior grave.

Life too Short, Yet Waste d.


Pliny makes a striking computation in
regard to the shOrtness of life never
recall it without being powerfully i'm
pressed by its truth. "Consider" no
stys, the time spent in sleep, and YOU
will find that man actually lives only
half his space. The other half passes in
state resembling death. You do not
take lato the account the years of in
fancy, which are destitute of reason. nor
the many diseases and the many cares Of
Old age, those penalties Of longevity.
The senses grow dull, the limbs are
racked, the sight, the hearing, the power
OF walking, the teet also, die before us :.
and Yet all this time is reckoned in the
period of a life But, short as life is at
the best, those who complain of it's
1revity let it slide by them without
WishIng to seize and make the most OF
lis golden moments. How much time do
We waste In -indecision, in vain regrets,
deiusiVe hopes and ungrounded fears
"hat vast portion OF our precious ex-
lstence is wasted in mere waiting
waiting for something that seems
necessary for our happiness, and the
want Of which prevents us from enjoying
the present hour"
This seems to be an era OF nugeness in
neckwear. with some OF the big London
Burlington bows, the size Of the ordi.
nary De Joinville leading the way. The
Zig scarffngs are necessarily mild in
their effect, the quietude to their tone
tempering the display OF an unusual
quantity OF fine texture.
The winter overcoat will be in a variety
of shades of kersey and melton. made
with an ample velvet collar and both
coats are curiously in contradistinction
to the trim cut of the under coats, being
full and box-like. The more distin-
guisaed heavy top coat OF the year,
however, is made of black dull-faced
Durham beaver.

hear of their fering this high post of
honor to on mali and that to an
other. We arm that one gentleman
whom they opposed to make the At
torney Gene declined. 1t is stated
that this MAJ now in office shall be
retained, Il. that man, while the
heads of 9th; are cut off at their will
and pleasure
Such is tn attitude of the new Ol-
rectory in n tn Carolina. They as
sumo to rule and to govern as old
King Georg, md his ministers ruled
and goverpeh in the time of Tryon,
when the people of the red hill country
flew to arms.
For our part we do not believe that
the people Of North Carolina will as
sent TO an arrangement SO foreign to
their habit, so derogatory to their lib
critics, aud that smacks SO much of
slavish dependence on the will of self
constituted rulers.
We do not choose to mention all
the persons who are said to have been
agreed on by our self-appointed lords
and masters but we have heard that
Mr. Harry Skinner is to be the Gov
ernor-and that the gentleman who is
to be the Lieutenant Governor is to
succeed him when Governor Skinner
has been elected to the Senate. The
Lieutenant IS not only to succeed
Governor Skinner, but is to have a
full team of iour years thereafter?
We know but little of what is pass
ing in the irnermost councils of the
Directory but the above comes to us
in such shape that we put confidence
in its accuracy. We hear further that
the purpose ) to capture the primaries,
to control the State convention, to
put up platform that will suit the
Directory, and then to send delegates
to the Omaha Convention instead of
to Chicago. For the absolute truth OF
these statements, to be sure we do not
vouch. But we regard the lnforma-
ton received by us as coming SO
straight as t, De entitled to full belief.
