BY EBEIf B. BSXFORD.
Low burned the fire, the room was dim.
We heard the warning clock-strike ten,
An4 by the moonlight growing grim.
Knew parting-time bad cm again.
. I had a dream lat nigbt, I said,
111 tell it to you ere I go:
I thought, my dear, your little head
Was laying on my shoulder, to I
'Tis time to go, I said, and you,
You kissed me twice upon the cheek :
Now tell me, love if dreams come true.
Most archly did my darlini speak :
Why, tome col, e true, and tome do not;
Dreams like tkit I quite believe.
And then she kissed me twice, and gH
Her waist entangled in my sleeve.
Why is it that to say good-night
Must take so long a time ? I know,
When lips are sweet, and eyes are bright.
One often lingers, loth to go.
But, somehow, ere I went away
That night, the clock had struck eleven :
So long it takes, yon see. to say
What seemed an easy task at seven.

God bles thelittle feet that can never go astray
For the little shoes are empty in my closet laid
away.
I sometimes take one in hand, forgetting till 1
see
It is a little, half worn shoe, and much too
small for me ;
And all at once I feel a sense of bitter loss and
pain.
And sharp as when, two years ago. it cut my
heart in twain.
Oh, little feet, that weary not, I wait lor them
no more.
For I aja. drifting on the tide, and they have
reacehd the shore ;
And while the blinding tear-drops wet these
little shoes so old,
I try to think my darling's feet are treading
streets of gold ;
And then I lay them down again, but always
turn and say,
God Moss the little feet that now surely eannot
stray.
And while I thus am (landing. I almost seem
to see
The little form besido mo, just as it used to be .
The li-tie face uplifted. rith its soft and tender
eyer
Ah, me ! I might have known that look was
born for Paradise.
I reach my arms out fondly, but they clasp tbe
empty air.
Fr there's nothing of my darling but the shoes
he cscd to wear.
Oh! the bittcrnefs of parting cannot bo done
away
Until I meet my darling where his feet can
never stray:
When I no more au drifting uron the surgin
tide.
But with him safely landed upon the other
side.
Be patieut heart! while waiting to see the
thining way.
For the little feet, in the shining street, can
never go astray.
'Tramp, Tramp, Tramp.'
TLo author of "Festus" tells ua that
"JIaa is a militar3' animal," who "glor
ies in gunpowder and loves parade," but
to our chagrin he contents himself with
stating the fact without attempting to
give a reason for it or to explain any of
the curious phenomena everywhere
growing out of it.
We confess that some of the manifes
tations of this military propensity are to
us inexplicable. We find no difficulty in
comprehending the liking of professional
soldiers for a business which i3 to them
not only the producer of bread and but
ter, butal.o the easiest poesible road to
honor and emolument. We see through
the motives of the vulgar speculator in
purloined and watered stocks, whose sole
capital is notoriety, when he organizes
and equips" at other people's expense a
regiment of holiday soldiers whose busi
ness it is to make him a colonel in a time
of profound peace.
By a stretch of patriotism we can even
get up a sort of sympathy with the pow
der-burners who wear our nerves out on
the Fourth of July.
But when we see a lot of carpenters or
shoemakers or mechanics of any kind
"on strike," parading through sloppy
streets with a bracs band at their head,
we utterly fail to see how this wasteful
expenditure of their scanty cash, and
this wearing march of their?, is to be
used as an argument in theirdebate with
employers. And what other conceiva
ble purpose can it serve ? That they
have no pleasure in their tramp a glance
at their countenances is amply sufficient
to tell. But they a'ways do it, never
theless.
And every regiment of our 'citizen
soldiery." as we call our militia " organi
zations, is a marching marvel. The
men who wear the epaulets and ride the
horses and give necessary an 1 unnecess
ary orders as they move through the
streets have some sort of reward of
course. But why arc the men there that
carry the muskets and knapsack?, and
wade through the slops of the streets?
These men are mostly merchants clerks
who can poorly afford the expense in
money and time incident to their connec
tion with these organizations. They
receive no benefit in return, except per
haps exemption from possible jury ser
vice, or some such matter. Once in
they can never get out of a regiment or
free themselves from its exactions, how
ever inconvenient or even ruinous these
may be, until their seven years' enlist
ment expires. That any individual
tramper .among them should feel a pride
in the parade of which he is only an in
distinguishable atom, is wholly incon
ceivable. And yet these men, wear out
their boots and bodies in dusty or mud
dy marches at other men's behests, and
peni their money and waste their time
in there regiments, voluntarily and with
a seeming delight. They tell us of
course, that they constitute the body of
the nation's defensive strength, but we
know how much that boast is worth.
We all know how, when a war comes,
these regiments have to be re-organized,
re officered, re drilled, re-uniformed, re
armed, and sometimes almost re-manned
before they are ready for actual service
in the field, and experience teaches that
the volunteers who never play soldier and
never handle a musket or take a caden
ced step until the war-drum actually
sounds, are as readily convertible into
good effective troops as are the best of
our holiday paraders. Besides there is
not the slightest probability that we shall
need any soldiers other than those of t he
regular army during the life time of this
generation. But the men tramp anJ
tramp with all the earnestness possible
even to work that has a purpose in it
They make a good show too, and we like
to see them through a window. Their
brass buttons glitter in the sunlight and
their uniforms are pleasantly neat when
the mud is not too deep in the streets
through which they march. Poor fellows
we hope they enjoy it as much as we
on-lookers do, and they certainly deserve
all the enjoyment there may be in such
labor.
But a greater puzzle than all is the
propensity of Sunday-scholars to march
themselves to death, under ill-Lored res
traint1', anl to call the day of such a
proceeding a holiday. The little fellows
like their holiday clothes and the
flowers and tho music and all that, of
course; but how it comes about that
they prefer to have these with a head
ache accompaniment, with weariness of
limb and exhaustion of body, is a marvel.
Why they do not prefer to go to the
woods pell-mell after the natural manner
of children, or even to run through the
cleared streets in that way, rather than1
to march wearily up and down, confined
unnaturally to a particular order ami ,
place, with no chanci even to see the
show of which they make themselves
parts, is an unexplained mystery, and
ons that will probabb never be explained
except by the quotation with which we
setout,-that"Man is a military animal,'
and after all that is enly a condensed
statemen of the fact, and is no explana
tion at all.
What Greeley knows About Printing;.
(From Rq wells American Newspaper Reporter.)
Most people suppose that Mr. Greeley
as a young printer wa3 about as modest,
mild, money-saving, Benjamin Franklin
kind of a man as one would wish to meet
Not so he was'running over with a vi
tality which nothing would control, and
it scefmed at times as though he could be
rough and noisy enough to let fly his stick
at the head of any of his companions who
had the temerity to differ with him,
especially if arguing a moral or politics
question. As a young man 1 had tue
somewhat equivocal pleasure of working
with him. He was then in the employ
of James D. Armstrong, who is now liv
ing in New York. Mr. Armstrong pub
lished at this time a paper called the
Spirit of the Times. He found young
Greeley hard to get along with. Mr.
Armstrong was Greeley's first employer
in the city, and the embryo philosopher
had not yet been disciplined in city rules.
He would wors for some time quite stead"
ily, and then run off at a tangent about
something. Though but ninteen years
old he was forever talking about politics
and social questions, in the discussion of
which he would get greatly excited, and
not only lose his own time, but occupy
tho attention of the other workmen.
This made matters so unpleasant for the
publisher that Mr. Greeley was at last
discharged. At this time he received a
salary of six dollars per week. His per
sonal appearance at this time was very
pccular. His hair was white and straight,
his pantaloons did not seem to come
much below his knee, and he looked
rough and uncouth. On leaving here he
went into partnership with a stranger,
and they managed at last to make a
weekly which met with some success.
I would add for the information of
those who delight in calling Mr. Greeley
the "second Franklin," instead of the
"first Greeley" (as he should be called),
that he has no particular claim to being
a printer, as he was a very poor workman
in the buisness, preferring to make a
"time" in the composing-room over a
hot discussion of his pet theories, to be
coming proficient in the art of printing.
Mr. Armstrong, his first employer,
may be seen in xsew xort to-day, as
hearty and energetic as ever. He has
had a publishing experience of nenrly
half a century. In 1832, as a manager
that paper, he started the New lork
Express, and had it in running order in
ten days after starting. He was after
wards foreman of the Evening Post. In
every posion he has had, he has com-
manvled high salaries, and his services
nave been greatly appreciated.

vou'red by the Fire Fiend is fearful.

Peter Cartwrljtbt.
This remarkable Methodist preacher
died recently at his house in IMr-ois, at
the advanced age of eighty-eight years
Had he been blessed, with a classical
education, ho could have shown in lite
rature as brilliantly as he had in tbe
field where his wondeiful talent and en
ergies placed him. The venerable Cart
wright "died with the harness on," af
ter having worked for Christianity nearly
sixty years as a Methodist preacher.
He believed in fighting the devil with
fire, and his powerful physical organiza
tion nearly always gave him the victory
in his battles against satan's captains.
A number of rowdies attended a camp
meeting once, and whilst old Peter was
preaching, got up a disturbance. The
officers of the law, from fear, refused to
make any arrests, or do anything to sus
tain order. The divine warrior at once
volunteered his services, aqd in a trice
he had badly whipped and secured two
of the scoundrels, put to flight the rest
and placed "tors da combat." a Justice
of the' Peace who interfered in behalf of
the disturbers of tho meeting.
On another occasion, as he was going
to an "appointment," Cartwrigbt waa
met in the road by a pugilistic black
smith, as large as Peter, who took hold
of the reins of the horse and commanded
the preacher to dismount Cartwrigbt
asked him what was wanted, whereupon
the smith gave the pleasant information
that he intended to whip him ; in fact,
he had made it a rule to whip all the
Methodist preachers that passed his
shop. Peter had heard of this man's
doings before, and, after vain expostu
lation, with an air of resignation, asked
permission to take off hislncw coat, as
he did'nt want it soiled, before active
operations began. The black-smith
generously consented to the arrangement,
and son had the satisfaction of seeing his
intended victim standing face to face with
Lim, ready. The smith pitched in, and
so did Peter, and after a few passes they
closed, and" in a moment the sooty fighter
found himself flat on his back, with a
preacher astride of him. Old Peter's
sledge-hammer fists were now rapidly
pounding an the anvil face of the under
dog, making sparks fly at every stroke.
Soon the blacksmith cried for quarter.
The divine then dictated his own terms.
The blacksmith was to ask pardon for
his cowardly assault, go hear his con
queror preach, aud earnestly seek the
salvation for his soul. These conditions
were contemptuously spurned, whereup
on Peter declared he would convert him
if he had to pound his head off, and at
once renewed the pounding. The black
smith soon yielded, and was let up. In
a short time he became truly converted,
and was ever after a respectable, well-
behaved man, and a warm supporter of
the Methodist church and a defender of
its preachers. In class-meeting he al
ways thanked God for having met Peter
Cartwrigbt. Ex.
The "Trunk" Rail-road.
(Frctn the Southern Nebraskian.
The St. Louis and Nebraska Trunk
Railroad is an enterprise in which the
people of Nebraska, especially the river
counties, and more especially the river
towns, are deeply interested. It has
been "talked" of for several years, and
owing to uncontrolable circumstances
has thus far "hung fire." Recently
new interests have been awakened, and
new efforts are being made to make it
a success. There is now, no doubts in
the minds of those well informed, that
the road will be built, and that speedily,
if the required aid can be worked up
along the line. Nemaha and Otoe
counties have already voted, and it now
remains for Richardson to do her part.
It has been thought best by the friends,
to submit the question of voting aid to
the river precint. While we on the
river, have done our proportion in con
structing the interior road, and ought
now to be aided in return, for the pres
ent we should not "stand on the order
of going," but move on promptly and
in earnest to hasten the work and com
pleting this very much needed road.
The sum required is but $5,000 per
mile. The company building will lay
down at least $15,000 per mile addi
tional in cash, leaving us not less than
$10,000 in taxable property, in the pre
cints, for every $5,000 in vote. Another
consideration ; but few now living as
voters and property holders will have
more than tho interest to pay. Our
children and their children will pay the
principal. If we devise the means and
build the road for those to come after us,
they ought to, and will be willing to pay
for it. Arago precinct and all that por
tion of the county above Rulo, are vi
tally interested in this matter. It is the
only hope we have for Railroad facilities,
It is this or nothing with, tjs. Without
Railroads in this day and age, we might
as well be out of tho world.
More might be said upon this import
ant subject, but this I trust is sufficient
to awaken our people to a jtrst sense of
their duty in the precincts.
Arago Precinct.
There is no better county in the world
for dairy farmers than right here, and
our farmers ought to try farm clubs for
the manufactur of cheese. There is no
reason why Nebraska; aye "Cass Co.
Cheese" might not and should not rank
with "Western Reserve'' and have a
fixed and staple market value.

Dispatch frona 9Tr. Colfax.
PHiLDELniiA, J une 7.
The following dispatch was read in
convention yesterday, just previous to
adjournment :
Washington, D. C, June G.
To John W. Foster, Indiana :
Accept for yourself and delegation my
sincere gratitude for your gallant contest.
I support your ticket cheerfully. Men
are nothing; principles everything.
Nothing must arrest the Republican tri
umph of equality before the law. Like
liberty, from which it spring.", it is uni
versally acknowledged, and the citizen
ship of the humblest tecomes a sure
protection against outrage and wrong,
as was the Roman citizenship of old.
Sciiuyleii Colfax.
Tbe President nnd his Nomination.
Washington, June 7.
President Grant, immediately after
his nomination, was informed of the
fact by telegrams from William Oi'ton,
George H. Stewart, and several others.
He was attending to business at the
time in his office.
He remarked to friends this evening,
after returning from his ride, that the
announcement occasioned him no sur
prise, as delegates had been instructed
to vote for him, and the proceedings of
yesterday showed that this would be
the result ; nevertheless, he was highly
gratified that his nomination was unani
mous, and felt under obligations to his
countrymen, who, through their dele
gates, so emphatically endorsed him,
both in their speeches and by their votesi
which showed that the vile slanders ut
tered against him found no believers
The first to congratulate Mr. Wilson
was Mr. Colfax, who entered from his
room as soon a? he heard the former had
been selected, and shook him by the
hand.
That Additional Article.
Washington, June 7.
A report prevailed to day that Eng
and had accepted tho additional article
to the treaty at Washington. Tho re
port may have been founded on remarks
made last night in the house of lords,
which gave promise of such a result
No official information has been receiv
ed up to a late hour tc-night, confirm
ing the report. Gentlemen in official
positions have, however, through Minis
ter Schenck, such intimations as to lead
them to believe the article will be accept
ed with the explanation given the Bri
tish minister by authority of our govern
ment, in relation to consequential dama
ges.
Should the article be accepted, it will
be embodied in the form of a treaty to
be negotiated here by Secretary Fish
and Sir Edward Thornton, and then
sent to London for tho sovereign's signa
ture. The arbitrators at Geneva can adjourn
soon after their meeting on the 15thinst.
to meet again as soon as the document
shall reach them, and hereafter convince
their business without further impedi
ment.

The Methodist Book Concern.
Dr. Lanahan was arrested this after
noon pn an order for arrest issued by
Judge Friedmau, of the Supreme Court,
on complaint of Samuel G. Goodanaugh,
who brought a uit against him to re
cover damages for alleged slander. The
plaintiff, in his effidavit, says Dr. Lcna-
han had called him a thief and robber,
and accused him of wearing diamonds
and other articles of jewelry purchased
with money which he had taken from
the Methodist Book Concern. Bail
was fixed at five thousand.
Dr. Lanahan refused to allow any of
fiis friends to bail him, on the ground
that he had been prosecuted by the
Methodist Book Concern, and was com
mitted to tho Ludlow street jail. He
has sent to Baltimore for his brother to
become surety. He is expected here to
morrow,
A skeptical young collegian confronted
an old Quaker with the statement that
he did not believe in the Bible. Said the
Quaker, "Does thee believe in France?"
"Yes. Though I have not seen it, I
have seen others who have. Besides,
there is plenty of proof that such a
country doe? exist. "Then thee will net
believe anything thee or ethers have not
seen?"' "No, to be sure I won't"
"Did thee ever see thy own brains?"
"No." "Ever see anybody that did?''
"No." "Doc3 thee believe thee has
any ?' '

the inducements it holds out to settlers
with a little money, to stop here, instead

The Lebanon (Ky.) Herald tells the
following: Judge Green relates that,
as he was walking down West Main on
Monday afternoon, he meet a venerable
man, red at eye, unkempt of lock, and
out at elbow, who had modestly asked
him for a quarter. "Stranger," said
this impecunious patriarch, "I'm t.
moviu' to Arkicsw me and the old
woman, and the childun, and John
(Jo n's my oldest son) and his wife ar.d
his childun and, stranger, my steers run
away with the waggin jest afore we got
to town back here, and broke every bit
of crockeryw r' we had. Didn't even
leave us a skillet to bake a hoc-cake in
for tho childun when we camp to-night.
And, stranger, a gentleman back here
gimme a quarter, and I thought if I
could get you to gimme another quarter,
maybe I could go back to town and get
a skillet." "You want it to buy a skil
let, do you?" asked the Judge. 4:Oh,
yes, stranger; I want to buy a skillnt" he
replied and then, as if it had suddently
occurred to him that liis temperance
principales might be impugned, he add
ed : "As for- whiskey and brandy, I
haint teched a drop in forty year!"
"Well," said the Judge, who is always
ready to li.-tcn to an appeal for charity,
but who was a little suspicious of the
intended destination- of the desired quar
ter, "go with me back to the square and
I will buy you a skillet" "Stranger,''
returned this ancient man, "I'm afcared
the wag'n'll git too fur ahead of me of I
go back goeJ evenin, stranger." And
off he trampled, skiiletless and quarterles.

A doctor was called in to see a patient
whose native land was Ireland, and
whose native drink was wlvsky. Water
was prescribed as the only cure. Pat
said it was out of the question, he could
never di ink it Milk was then proposed,
and Pat agreed to get well on milk.
The doctor was soon summoned again.
Near the bed on which the sick man lay
was a table, and on this tabic a large
bowl, and in the bowl was milk, but fla

"What have you hero?' said the
doctor.
"Milk, doctor ; just what you order

"Ah, well, Mr. Malacban, " replied

and is true enough to bear republishing :
Young American women ar very apt
to be deficient as nurses, and some riJc
themselves upon it, and consider it art
evidence of superior intellectual organi
zation. But this a great, mistake.- Thrf
more complete a woman is, tho tuoro
capable of fulQling every law of her own
being, the better she is. The ordinarily"
fiiarp, sensitive, fcervoii?, highly-strung
girl of the American type has neither a
sound miud nor a healthy body. She
runs to eccentricities and exaggerations
of all kinds, and unless controlled by ai
strong sense of duty, is ono of tho most
uncomfortable of wives and incapable of
mothers
If women despise the ofiico of ma
ternity, they ought not to marry; (
they do marry, let them striva to be

and debility whioh characterizes our
young wives and mothers is du to tho
absurd notions about diet Co produce art

men get rid of this, and reform their habit?
of eating, when they are wives, the bet

cannot bo sustained on chockolate,
pastry, and ice-creams.

A Berks county man writes to the cc'

to kcow how to break an ex. To which'
question the editor makes an answer :
"If only one ox, a good way would 1 0
to hoist him by means of a log chain at
tached to his tail, to the top of a pole forty
feet from the groun 1. Then hoist him
by a rone tied about hishorns, to another
pole. Then descend on to his back a
five ton pile driver, and if that don't
break him, let him 6tart a country news

One of the two ways will do it !ur."
