Oh ! don't be sorrowful; darling,
And don't be sorrowful, pray
Taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day.
'Tis rainy weather, my darling,

Jut taking the year all round, my dear,
There isn't more cloud than sun.
. We are old folks now, my darling,
Qur heads arc groyring gray,
JJtt taking the year all round, my dear,
You will always find a May.
Wc have had our May, my darling,
And our roses Jong ago ;
And the time of the year is comiag,
For the silent night of snow.
And God is (Jod, my darling,
Of night as well as day,
And we feel aud know thatwc can go,
Wherever he leads the way.
God of the night, my darling,
Of the night of death so grim ;
The gate that leads out of life, good wife,

What it Costs to see Niagara. A cor
respondent writes : '-To sec Niagara you buy
cleven silk drtsst.s for your wife, and six shirts
for yourself. Yen then get all the ready money
you have, borrow all your friends have a;id make
arrangen cuts f r unlimited credit at two or
three' gced solvent banks. You then t:tke six
trunks, some m rc money, a nurse, a colored ser
vant, some more money; and then, after getting
some mere money, and extending your credit at
one or two more strong banks, you set out. It is
better, if possible, just before you leave, to mort
gago your homestead and get some more money."
65" Recently in Yicksburg there was a large
Democratic procession in which were borne
several United States flags which at the request
of several citizens, had been loaned them by the
post quartermaster. The parade of voters being
large and impressive, alarmed the carpet-baggers,
several of whom called on Gen. Gillem and com
plained that this officer had furnished flags to a
procession which was 'impeding reconstruction."
"Gentlemen," said the General, "you are the
l dest fools I ever saw, I fought these people
four years to make them carry the flag, and now
you nro mad because they wiidi to march under
it."
"The Republican party has brought no peace,
no rep; sc. no prosperity to the country. It
never can, because it lives aud moves and has
its being outside the Constitution. It governs
according to no fixed law, but only the passions
of a caucus; and as the wiuds are not more
variable than these, the country cannot expect
any permanent prosperity while the government
is administered by such a standard.
"TAKE NOTICE!"
We take pleasure in announcing to the puMic that

Save the Sinners. A gentleman who has
recently arrived from South Africa, lella a story
about a shipwreck near the Cape of Good Hope,
which derives additional zest from tho fact that
he was one of the clergymen referred to. It
appears that on board of the steamer Walden
stun were several clergymen from Natal, going
to a synod of the Reformed Dutch Church at
Cape Town, and also an English clergyman.
The steamer was wrecked near Point L'Agulias,
to the East of Cape Town, and the bor.ts were
gotton out. One of the clergymen rushed for
the first boat, but Captain Joss, the master of
the ship, lifted him out of the boat saying, "You
are a minister and prepared to die; the sinners
must be saved first," and sure enough the clergy
were compelled to stick to the ship until the
sinuers had been landed.
