th e impeachment.
President Johnson's counsel appear
ed in the Fcnato Chamber on Monday
last to defend the bxecutive officer of
the 1'nited States against the charges
for which he stands indicted.
Benjamin F. Butler, the spoon-thief,
murdeier, and assailant, cf virtue, who
voted f fly. seven times for Jefferson
Davis for President iu the Charleston
Convention of lSfj'), led off with a
ppceeh of five hours' duration for the
prosecution. After ho had poured
lot tli all the venom in his composition,
that other beauty, John A. Bingham, of
Ohio, who made it a point of " profess
ional pndo " to hang an iunoeent wo
man, arose, and in the name of the man.
agers on the part jl' tho House, said
they were ready to make pood their
charges ngalnt President Johnson.
The people ol tho country may just
is well make up their minds to the fact
that President Johnson will be deposed,
as far ns the action ol the Semite is con
cerned. The majority of that body
have already prejudged him. Why, if
the Blessed Saviour himself, was on
earth, and a Democrat, on trial before
these worthies, they would vote him
guilty. The trial which Mr. Johnson
is now undergoing U but a mockery.
A white man might ns well expect
mercy from a band of Coma.iche Indians
ns justice from such charlatans as Sum
ner, Wade & Co.
0, for one d iy of Andy Jackson's
firmness. Wo think that the citizens
ol Washington could gratify thoir ctes
by the-spectacle of a lladical Iaw nnkcr
suspended to lamp-posts from Capitol
Hill to tho White House, ere tho old
hero went back to his tomb.

w.inhd to the Society of Antiquities iu
Louden, whereof your eoriespondcnt
says the bottle resembling Drake's
Plantation Bitters was undoubtedly
placed among tho ruins by the agent of
Dr. Drake, we desire to state he is in
correct in every respect. If a bottle
was found there bearing our lettering,
the language of the Ancient llomans
was different from the accepted litera
ture ol that day. Our Agent has other
business than this in Europe, and has
not been in Italy at all. 'o doubt Am.
ic.Mis cairy Plantation Bitters to ltouio ;
but trying to impose upon a society ol
Antiquarians in this way, seems quite
useless, and wo do uot appreciate the

so unfortunate as to be afllicted by this

MUSIC AT A LEATU-UED.
BY JULIET II. LEWIS.
0. sing to me, sweet sister, sing
'J'lie song I loved to hear,
And when I'm gone, Osiug it still,
And think I'm ling'ring near.
0, let tno hear before I leave
This world for yonder skies,
The trembling tono of thy rich voice,
On sighing zephyrs rise.
Oft while we've watcVd the weary tun
Behind t he mountains hide,
Canting its soft mid parting light
On Siisiiuehamiali's tide.
And stnuding by our mother's side,
Or by our father's knee,
That song has risen on the breeze ;
O, sing it new for inc.
In fancy then will rise the scenes
Of my loved childhood's home i
Again I'll pluck my fav'rite flowers,
Aud through uiy loved haunts roam
The forms of those in childhood dear
liefore nio I shall see,
And present grief will be forgot;
Then sing that song for nie.
The deep, rich tones so sweetly raise
Upon the evening air :
They eecm'dto stay tho hand of death,
And angels lingered there,
Tho song now ceasid the wail of grief
bticceeitcu that sweet lay ;
Fur with the loved and dying strains
Jler spirit passed away.
Growing Old. How stealthily the
years creep upon us, one by one, until
some day we are startled to find oui
selves grown old ! It is curious to see
what different estimates put on old age
at different periods of their own lives.'
To the youth in his teens the man ol
middle age seems quite antiquated, but
when he himself arrives at forty yeais
ho can scarce believe he is no longer
young, and is astonished to see so many
who were but infants the other day, now
jostling him as full groirn men in the
race ol life. Said one gentleman to an
other in our hearing : "What has be.
come of all the old men ' When you
and I were boys there were many old
men about, but they seem to be all
gone." " Ah," said his friend with a
tMiiilc, ' ask theso youngsters where the
old .uen are. They'll tell you and
you will find yourself among them ! "

knowledge from the great book of Xa

that the coining season will be a fruitful

that the fruit trees will yield a bountiful
