WALLACE AND MS COPPEE-POT
In the Political Campaign of 1867.
'Twos oventido—past supper time—
The shanty table cleared ;
When to the door n pilgrim came,
With duet upon his board.
Ho asked if Collins' boss was in—
And could ho with him speak?
Was ushered in—politely told:
'There stands the man you seek."
The boss inquired who ho was—
Said: "Pray, what's to befell us p
Ito said : "I bring no evil news;
My name is William Wallace.
"I want two hundred mon to cote
The Democratic ticket;
The number needed you can cell
From this secluded thicket.'.
Tho boss replied : "Sir, all my gang
Aro fresh from Erin's sod;
And have no bettor right to rote,
Than Aaron's magic rod."
"I have that fixed," the pilgrim said,
"The papers signed and sealed;
There's naught to do but write their names,
When ballots they can wield.
"And• as the documents aro fresh
And have no badge of age,
I have my coffee-pot along,
To tan the snowy page.
"We'll boil them for a little while
In coffee strong as lye,
When they will pass official gaze—
Deteetion will defy."
Like Barney, then the cook was told,
To put the kettle on ;
While from the chock-rolls were transeriWt:
The names that stood thereon.
The boss and pilgrim boiled thorn well
To look like copperheads;
And then rejoiced—nor felt the tramp
Of conscience's stealthy treads.
The job well done, the pilgrim said
"Assess nod swear them through ;
Our ci ,ce for victory depends
On what you thus may do."
And starting off for other fields—
Ilis coffco•pot in hand;
Exultring, said; "Aladin's lamp
Did nothing half so grand.
"Let orators thdir speeches make
And editors indite ;
With this good coffee-pot, lean
Be victor in the light.
"Two hundred voters to die gallon,
Its conquests are and more ;
Ne'er whiskey in its Filmiest days,
Such splendid trophies bore."
Thus on his pilgrimage he went
From Centre to Luzerno ;
Baptizing in the wilderness
With coffee from his urn.
rit/LADELPZIId, VA
And as he went, he sang this song:
"My magic eoffee-pet—
You're raised us up ten thousand Totes—
My bubbling coffee-pot!
"Hurra-1" he yelled; but as the voice
Careered among the trees—
He hushed, in fear his secret would
Be borne upon the breeze.
Like palmer from the holy land,
The Keystone Clnb ho sought;
He had no pnhn•leaf in his band,
But had his coffeepot.
October seventh, in tho•night,
They heard his glowing story;
And straightway placed upon his brow
The laurel wreath of glory.
'Mid thundering shoats that shook the
With gin and joy so hot— [house—
They throned beside Columbia's
Tho glorious Coffee-Pot.
LIVELY TIME. AT A CIRCUS.—WhiIo
Hemmings, Cooper & Whitby's circus
was performing to an immense audi
ence in Flemmingsburg, Ky., a few
days since, a heavy rain storm, accom
panied by a violent wind, inundated
and blew down the tent. The scene
is described by a local paper as follows:
At first there was but little excite
ment among the spectators, but when
the stakes of the outer canvass gave
way, and the immense center pole of
the large ono commenced to sway and
groan, and the sides to flop and give
way—when the lions commenced to
growl and roar, the elephant to swing
his huge proboscis around, and the
horses to neigh and stamp—the con•
fusion was indescribable, and the ex
citement the wildest we ever saw.—
Everybody rushed poll moll for the en.
tranoo, gentlemen and ladies in a con
fused mass, calling alternately for help
and friends. Of course, on the top
seats some jumped to the bottom, some
fell through, some were caught and
suspended while falling, and a great
many cut their way through the can•
vase. At this juncture the elephant
broke out among the people, and crea
ted a terrible excitement, and the wri
ter started for the entrance "at a lively
gait." Before ho reached it ho was
clasped in the arms of a lady, who im
plored him to save her. When he
reached the outer world, things pre
sented a very comic appearance, The
rain was falling in torrents, the light.
ning flashed and thunder crashed.—
Men in their fright ran against the tic
ket wagon, over ladies, wildly to and
fro. Many of the ladies screamed,
fainted and fell, and bad to be carried
to Mr. Newcomb's residence, which
was about two hundred yards distant.
Dore, too, a great fnany swooned
away from fright and excitement, but
none, we arc happy to say, were killed
or scared to death. After the storm
had abated the great canvas was ex
plored, but no one was found to be se
riously injured.

The Grand - Children are Coming.
Rev. Henry Ward 13eochor writes
the following for the N. Y. Ledger:
After all, what is the use? We sot
up our house, and ono by ono the chil
dren fly into it, like birds out of some
foreign wood into a cage—ono, two,
three, four, and more. With each ono
comes also a cry ; and that is the koy
noto to which a hundred sorrows add
their voices, and gradually swell into
that strange chorus which men call
human life For each child there is
to be a fringe of care on the edge of
every day. Each child brings burdens
and anxieties. Tears in their eyes are
but harbingers of many more in the
oyes of all Ns b o lore them ! To shape
them, from infancy, to goodness, to
teach their hands, to drill their heads,
to repair their mistakes and secure
firm footing in an honorable manhood,
who can measure,the thought, the feel
ing, the endeavor? And then, when
the long task is done, is there no com
pensation? Or do they not, ono by
one, detach themselves, and, like come
ly fruit, fall from the bough, on which
they grow, leaving it bare and empty?
- That daughter—just as she began to
be a full companion, to repay all the
labor of her training—is snatched
away by some ono who has known her
fewer weeks than the parents have
years; she goes. The house is empty
of her. Her room, het drawers, her
books and school tasks, foadiy pre- I
served, carry a sadness to the mother's
heart every time they are looked upon.
The boys, almost before you dream
that they have ceased to be boys, come
asking the father's blessing on a now
corner. By the time that hither or
mother are conscious of ago and infir
mity, the whole brood is scattered and
gone. Tho house is solitary. It used
to be straightened for room when the
children were at home, but now there
is room too much. It used to be noisy,
but now ono might dose all day, for
all the noise. Only the fire snapping
out suddenly, or the drowsy old clock
ticking behind the door, or a kitten
mewing to get in, or to get out, or a
squeaking rat or mouse, make an au
dible noise. When the 'children are
all home, a man is like a Norway
spruce, whose well-grown branches,
beginning from the level of the ground,
rise up in a perfect pyramid, shaping
the tree to exquisite proportions. But
each child married is a bough lopped
off; leaving a wide space, until the pa
rent trunk is finally trimmed up like
a shaft, and all the verdure left cling

In European communities, the chil
dren oftoo marry and settle down
around their childhood home. But
this is rare in America. The endless
circulation that is going on sweeps
away the children; and to be married
is almost synonymous with going far
away from home.
All this, Mr. Bonner, describes my
state of mind last week. It is very
different now. Word has Come that
the grand children aro coming home.
Coming home? 'What! both 'the chil
dren 7 and their mother? for a good
long visit? Bless their little hearts,
lot them come. There's nothing in
this house too good for them. Now,
then, wo shall have a household once
more. Children arc the flowers which
God sends down from Heaven to enli
ven and cheer this life. What was I
saying a little back, about the care,
and anxiety, and pain, and trouble, of
bringing them up ? Stuff—mere stuff,
Mr. Bonner, I assure you. Don't be
lieve a word of it: I was surely in a
dream. It was a half nightmare. I
am awake now and do assure you that
ho who is fit to have and rear children,
will see ten, yes, a hundred joys to ev
ery sorrow, and the sunshine of their
smiles will turn into rainbows every
tear they !flied or cause to be shed.
If there is anything in this world
that pays as it goes along, it is taking
care of children. Raising flowers is
all very well. But floWors have in
them no mischief', they behave too
well, they lack human nature, they
need the irridescent qualities of dispo
sition that flash from the surface of
every child's life. Children a trouble ?
Do they pout? fret? disobey and go
wrong? Don't you with your asters
and honeysuckles? What would you
give to have a singing vine, or a flow
er that could learn to say its prayers!
Why, trouble in the nursery is a pa
rent's pastime. If ono don't believe it,

that the grand-children are coming

Well, wo must got ready for them.
Let the drawers be filled with candy.
Get out the crib, and put up the ,dear
little narrow bed again. Hunt up the
dolls, the wagons, the play house, the
picture books, the strings. Where are
the tall chairs for the table, and the
little cups, and knives and forks for a

The Adventures of Some Miohigan
Boys with General Grant.
A correspondent of the Rochester
(New York,) Express says :
During the spring of 1801 I was on
detail at General Ord's headquarters,
and frequently carried despatches to
General Grant. He know me as one
of General Ord's orderlies. When the
latter was transferred from the North
to the South side of the James river,
and operated with General Sheridan
in the rout and capture of Lee's army,
I was often compelled to ride through
the greater part of our own troops be
fore I could find Grant and deliver my
despatches.
Ono morning in April I received
some captured letters and orders and
some copies of reports of scouts and
Rebel deserters, and was directed to
find General Grant and deliver them
to him. After riding several hours I
found him between our lines during
one of the front and roar attacks which
the enemy made upon our loft near
Dinwiddie Court House. This roar at
tack produced not a little confusion in
our troops. Hero and there was hur
rying to and fro, riding in hot haste,
giving and changing orders,_ taking
new positions,or changing front. Aeyet
the firing was desultory; a few bad
been killed and several wounded. Gen
oral 'Grant, accompanied with ono
staff officer and an orderly or two,
was assisting the division and brigade
commanders in the suitable disposition
of their forces, ho having come upon
that part 4 of our line soon after these
simultaneous attacks were made.
While engaged. with these arrange
ments, three soldiers passed near the
General, carrying a dead man, wrap
ped in a blanket, from the skirmish
line. Grant rode up to them, and or
dering them to stop, said t--" Who have
you hero 7"
One of them replied :—"Wo have
the body of our Captain. We are ta
king it to the rear. Ho was just now
killed on the skrmish lino." They
were young mon, rather tall and fine.
looking and appeared from eighteen to
twenty-four years of ago.
"You remember, my brave boy,"
says the General, "that the first duty
of a soldier in the hour of battle, is to
secure the victory; that acquired, there
will bo sufficient time to care for the
wounded, collect the captured proper
ty, and bury the dead."
"We know that, General," said the
oldest, glancing at the stars of the Lieu
tenant-General; "but ho was our fath,
or, too. When we set out for the war
we all promised our mother and sister
that whoever should die, the survivors
would send home to be buried on the
banks of the Kalamazoo."
"It can make but little difference tij
yourbrave father where the body lies;"
said Grant, "while the more than Spar=
tan patriotism and self-denial of your
mother and sister will not permit you
to leave the post of duty in an hour
like this." They nodded assent, but
were too deeply affected to reply.
They laid the body of their father at
the roots of a pine tree which stood
near by, and, half running, half walk
ing, returned to their regiment. Tears
glistened in the eyes of the command
ing General as ho remarked their earn
est, though sorrowful resignation, and
he often turned to catch a glimpse of
them as they sunk in the little valleys
and rose on the hills hurrying back.
Within less than two hours the bat-
tle for the day,was won. The.throe
brothers Mlle' out unhurt. The body
of their father was embalmed at City
Point, and sent to Parma, Alichiffan.
A little more than month after
wards, when that part, of the army
passed through Richmond, the two
younger brothers were the junior offi
cers in their father's company, and the
elder was the adjutant of their regi
ment.
HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE.---S.
McDonough, the millionaire of New
Orleans, had engraved upon his tomb
a series of maxims he had prescribed
as the rule for his guidance through
life, and to which his success in busi
ness is mainly attributed. They con
tian so much wisdom that we copy
them :
RULES FOR GUIDANCE OF LIFE IN
1804.—Remember always that labor is
one of the conditions of our existence.
Time is gold; throw not one minute
away, but place each 'ono to account.
Do unto all men as you would be done
by. Never put off till to-morrow what
you can do to-day. Never bid anoth
er do what you can do yourself. Never
covet what is not your own. Never
think any matter so trifling as not to
deserve notice. Never give out , that
which did not first come in. Never
spend but to produce. Let the great
est order regulate the transactions of
your life. Study in your course of life
to do the greatest amount of good.—
Deprive' yourself of nothing necessary
to your comfort, but live in an honor
solo simplicity. Labor, then, to the
last moment of your existence. Pur
sue strictly the above rules, and the
Divine blessing and riches of every
kind will flow upon ybu to your heart's
content; but first of all, remember tbat
the chief and groat duty of your life
should be to tend, by all means in
your power, to the honor and glory of
our Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which I have ar
rived ie, tbat without temperance there
is no health ; without virtue no order;
without religion no happiness; and
that the aim of our being is to live
wisely, soberly, and religiously.

THA.DDEUS STEVENS.
Last Honors to the D
opartoa &Memnon,
LANCASTER, PA., August 17, 1868.--
During Saturday the remains of Mr.
Stevens lay in state in the parlor of
his late residence, and were visited by
many hundreds of his friends and con
stituents, the street was crowded dur.
ing the whole time. The doors were
open, and up to a late hour in the even
ing, after which many were sent away
disappointed. On Sunday, contrary to
intention, the immense press of vial.
tors, persistent though respectful, caus.
ed the relatives to admit many to see
the remains. Early in the morning
the coffin was again opened, and the
crowd again commenced pouring thro'
the rooms. The coffin was decorated
with wreathes and a cross of evergreens
and white lilies. The face was becom.
ing somewhat discolored, but the ex
pression was the same. Previous to
the arrival of the train, the people of
the vicinity began to come - in by
hundreds, the vehicles lining the streets,
and the people the sidewalk. The fins
train brought from Harrisburg Gover
nor Geary, Senator Cameron, General
Heintzelman, and several officers of
the Department and a number of °M.
zone, and from York another &lege. •
tion. They proceeded to visit the re
mains, finding some difficulty in reach.
ing the door on account of the crowd
even at that early hour. Still they
came, filling the streets, the scene ex
ceeding anything witnessed here for
years, but there was no confusion or
disorder.
The trains Westward next arrived,
the regular one bringing large organis.
od delegations from various parts along
the route, one of the finest of which
came from Westchester. The special
train from Philadelphia brought the
Mayor and Council of that city, dele
gations from the Invincibles and the
Union League, the latter carrying a
splendid banner draped in mourning,
also a representation from the colored
citizens of Philadelphia, including a
committee from the Banniker Literary
Institution. The streets were by this
time literally filled by the vast crowd: -
and now the various organizations be
gan to muster r for the procession, all
turning out in . large numbers, and de.
spite the difficulties incident to the
crowded state of the streets, they
were promptly formed by the efficient
Marshal, Colonel W. K. Barr.
At two o'clock, the services at the
house wore commenced with- an invek
cation by Rev.'A. a -.Kremer, of: , the
First Dutch Reformed Church. , - Rev.
Bishop Bieglor;of the Moravian Church
then read the Ninetieth Psalm. _Rev.'
B, H. Nevin followed in prayer. The
coffin was then closed _and' conveyed
to the hbarie by the pall bearersi, - and
the line of procession began to: move
as follows :—Captain of police and city
police; Chief Marshal and Aides; the
fire department; the Shiftlers had the.

riagos. .The procession , of: citizens,
which was intended to close the pro
cession, was abandoned, aitho crowed
was so great as to make it impossible
to form into lino, and they. moved _in
masses towards the burial ground in
advance of the procession proper. The
line marched up South Queen street.
to Center Square;
out East King to
up Lime to Chestnut, down
Chestnut to the cemetery, when the
various organizations divided to the
right and left,and the clergy and hearse
with its attendants passed through,
and the pwcession closed pp in the
rear. Not one-tenth of the vast as,
semblage could find standing room
within the grounds, and streets on all
Bides were' blocked up during the pro-.
gress of the ceremonies, and very few
of necessity could hear the voices of
the speakers. Arriving at the ceme..
tery, the burial service of the Luther
lan Church was read by the Rev. W. V.
Gatwald, after which Rev. Dr: Wont,
bert of the Saint James Episcopal
Church, delivered- an addreep,

younger, received every attention that
love could bestow.. One day, after a.
severe illness, the mother was sitting
in the parlor, when she heard' a child
ish step on the stairs, and her thoughts
were instantly with that favorite. -
"Is that you, Sweet ?" she- inquired.
"No, mamma," 'was the sad but
