The State Of Indiana yesterday made a de-
fault in the payment Of the half yearly interest
which fell due on her Public Debt. This was
contrived and brought about by her Copper
head State Officers who were determined to
punish somebody for the refusal of the Repub.
hcan minority of her last Legislature to allow
her TO be dragged into the slough of Vallan-
dighamism. There was not the smallest 0cca-
sion-there was not even the shadow of excuse
for this default-for tho banking-house that
does the business Of that State here offered to
pay the interest and look to the State for fu-
ture reimbursement; but the new State Agent
would not permit it. The malignant and trea-
sonable hope that any serious shock will there
by be given to public credit generally will
hardly be gratifed.

If fancy do not all deceive,
If dreams have any truth,
Thy love must summon back to me
The glorics of my youth;
For if but hope unto my thought
Such Transformation brings,
May not fruition have the power
To change all outward things!
Come then, look into mine eyes
Till faith hath left no doubt.
SO shall thou set in them light
That never can go out,
Or lay thy hand upon my hair,


And keep it black as night
The tresses that had felt that touch
Would shame to turn to white.
To me it were no miracle


II when hear thee speak,
White lilies around my neck should bloom
And roses in my cheek;
Or If the JOY OF thy caress,


The wonder of thy smiles,
Smoothed all my forehead out again,
AS perfect as a child's.
My lip is trembling with such bliss


AS mortal never heard;
My heart, exulting to itself;


Keeps singing like bird;
And while about my task go

Upon the hills at play.

"Dunn Browne" in the Springfield

the battle of Gettysburgh: 49 r.,J


To show you that all the gallant and
chivalric exploits are not confined to the
history of ancient battles, to the knight
Grant and feudal times, am going to
tell you of one little incident of the late
battle which know you will thank me
for relating, and for the truth of which

was huge barn right in the track of that
desperate charge of the enemy on the Sd,
whose blackened brick walls are doubtless
remembered by every visitor Of the battle
field as one Of its most prominent objects.
II is the same barn which a part Of the
18th New Jersey charged and carried in
gallant style on the evening OF the I'd,
capturing therein 97 prisoners, and at
another time two companies Of the l4th
Connecticut, also with similar result
but not so many prisoners. Indeed it was

shirmisbers were firing very briskly and
those Of the enemy, heavily reinforced,
were pressing our line back. Eight or
ten of our boys were holding the barn,
but the envmy's line had come up even
with it and more, and it was evident that
our little party must fall back and let the
buttcrnuts gain the advantageous position
of harrassiug us. The Col. in command
of the I'd brigade, Sd division, I'd army
corps, called for an officer to volunteer to
60 down to the line and order our boys TO
fire the barn before retiring. Quick as

had time to prepare and take deliberate
aim from both sides. Miraculously not
one of the hundred bullets that whistled

We've a mimic man, baby,
With pair of rvugish eyes,
And a mouth of budding laughter,
And look that's very wise.
Though his hair is not in ringlets,
Or his eyes lovely brown,
He has dimples and stammer,
The delight of half the town.
And he wears peacock feather
In his little cap of plush,
And he hearkens for Kris Kringle
With quick impatient hush.
And he rides cane as bravely
As all boys of equal age,
And we think him, without question,
Quite the wonder of the age.
You should see him dance the polka,
You should hear him try to sing;
Now he ambles like pony,
Now he ties the cat with string.
Then he reads you in the paper
Of inverted ships in rows,
With his grandpa's glasses mounted
On his little comic nose.
He will ask you if the Lightning
Is afraid to hear the thunder;
And the moon upon the water
Is great and lovely wonder.
He will question you Of angels
And of things beyond the skies,
Till you cannot see planet
For the sudden tears that rise.
And he presses loving kisses
Where those tender teardrops lay,
And he tries to cheer you sweetly
In his simple earnest way.
And he tells yOu of the marvels
lie will execute and plan,
When he grows as big as papa,
When he gets to be a man.
We have named him from a hero,
We have mapped his future fair;
He shru icear poets laurel
Mid his dark and glossy hair.
We forget that we are weary,
We forget that we are old,
For our darling is beauty,
He's our little store Of gold.
We have heard of tortured bosoms,
We have heard of royal Lear,
But We know our little blessing
Will not cost our hearts tear.
For manhood looketh bravely
From the forehead of our boy,
And we hail it as token
Ola rich and perfect joy.
Oh, he's but tiny mortal,
And he may not live 70 know
How impossible the wonders
That but wait for him to grow.
And he may not know how gracious
To our souls his baby art,
But we love him all as fondly
As from death he dwelt apart
God forgive US if we listen
To parents easy pride;
God forgive us if misgui ling
That young angel by our side.
May the Father look in pity
On the love that prayeth wild,
"Take all earthly blessings from US,
Butin mercy spare our child"
