Kow silver streaks the locks of gold. In whiteness of departed year ; This heart may well he calm and cold, And closed to passion's hopes and fears. Tet of some mountain I hare read That midst tho stormy clouds aspires ; Ktci nal snows upon its head. And in its breast eternal fires ' How could I think a sudden glance Would thrill me, in my wintry time. With oil the glow of young romance, And all the force of manhood's prime.' Tut passion, if its wildest fire, la worthless to this love of mine ; For youth pursues its own desire, And all I sought yet comes ut last, Unsought, and of thy perfect grace. My comfort, for all the sorrows past Jly hoiMi, all future to efface ! Hope nch as angels may confess And comfort such as angels give For near thy sainted loveliness All carthlier feelings cease to live ! , nd those the purest love inspires. Our uature's best must yield to fato Impulses, longings, foad desires. And dreams of hi as too late too late ! Yet if too late for earthly ties, In those of heaven we are entwined Thy beauty may but mock my eyes, But mine the beauties of thy mind ! Immortal as the mind they giace ! Unfading as the love they wake ! Whlie these return my soul's embrace, Af! other dreams I can forsako ! A Talk tcith Seymour. The Louisville Journal says : "I have just seen Col. R. C.

PENDLETON'S ANECDOTE. In hi speech at Milwaukic, Mr. Pen dleton told tho following anecdote : In 1865, after the surrender of the Con federate troops, after the war had been hlWVHf ft plf- OT had an Indian war ever heard of it hero in Wiaeonsin, and yet it coat you 35,000,000. A Republi- can member oi tjongreaa au a uuow from Republican authority, my friend a Republican member of Congress had occa sion to investigate that subject, aad hi report is published in the Congressional Globe, lie detail ome of the circum stance of thi war. Ho tell us how tbe money wa expended. Ho tells us tbat tbe death of each Indian coit the people of tbe U. S. $2,000,00. Laughter add cheer. He tells us of an expedition of a certain valiant colonel from his own State, I believe, who was burning wltn military ardor. Jte cniisica a tnouaanu w t .

The shows of life have an immense influence on pnblie opinion. Intelli gent as we may think ooreelvea, we are all more or leas influenced by conventional suits and trappings. In England the wisdom or a )ndge would be counted folly if he came to court without his wig; and a beadlo out of hb accustomed Hvery, and minus his truncheon, could inspire no awe in charity-school urchins and parish paupers. As tho flne old co iiuudrum says, "What is majesty ai vested of its externals I pimply a jest." We Ameneans care ies ior sncb matters than any otner peopio , but nevertheless wo do car for them. A brigadiet is more to us with his ahnnldar airaiis than without them. pUUJlV 1 Ilia W"Ml, IV iwt wev wwwvwarw for show grows upon us fast. We are now talking more about equality than ever before, but practically jfnr aqcis al equalities are becoming tndro marked and manifest every day. Golden calves, riehly caparisoned, re ceiva more homage than consists with the Declaration of Independence, from the learned and wise, who lack the gift of Midas. Indeed, were that celebrated billionair now alive, be would never think of lamenting the longth of his ears. In view ot nis position as it capuoi, wivj pronounce them eminently becoming, and take to wearing imitations ot them oat of compliment to the weal thy donkey. Ho political system, however democratic, can wholly pro- vent man worship and trumpery wor ship in this toadying, nut hunting orld. Tho I'astinu. Mims. Or Old Saars.- -"There i I V. .... .
