OLD AND ULINO.
I am old and blind!
Men point at mo as smitten by UoJV frown
AlUlcted.and deserted of my kind;
Yet I am not east down.
I am weak, yet strong,
I murmur not that I no longer see;
Poor, old, and helpless, I the more belong.
Father Supreme, to Thee !
O merciful one!
When men are farthest, then Thon arc most near;
When friends pass silent by, my weakness shim,
Thy chariot I benr.
Thy glorious face
As leaning toward mo, and Its holy I Igbt
Shines in upon my lonely dwelling place,
And there Is no more night.
On my bended knee
I recognize Thy purpose clearly shown;
My vision Tncn hast dimmed that I may see
Thyself, Thyself alone.
i have naught to fear;
This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing
Beneath Jt I am almost sacred; here
Can como no evil thing.
0! 1 seem to stand
Trembling where foot, of mortal ne’er hath been,
Wrapped In tho radiance of that sinless land
Which eye hath never seen,
Visions eomo ami go ;
Shapes of resplendent beauty round me thrnnu
From ant'd lips I seem to hear the flow
Of<=ofl and holv son".
U Is nothing now
When heaven is opening on my sightless eye-,
Wheiualrs from Paradise refresh my brow.
That earth In darkness lies.
In a purer clime
My being Alls with rapture; waves of thought
Roll in upon my spirits : strains sublime
Break over me unsought.
Olve me now my lyre!
I feel the stirrings of a gift divine ;
Within my bosom glows unearthly lire
Lit by no Skill of mine.
9(Y INTIMATE TKIEND.
For years I had longed for an intimate
lady friend. Not that I was an unloving
wife or had an unloving husband, but
there are a thousand things interesting to
women, which one does not want to talk
about to one’s liege lord, even though ho
be the light of one’s eyes and the star of
one’s existence.
!So, ns I said before, I longed for a lady
friend, and being very hard to Miit, I
longed a long time before I found the
right one. Of course I was the victim of
several mistakes before “my utlinity ”
really smiled upon me, Just ns tho men al
most always are when looking out for
“ some one to love—some one to caress.’’
Mrs. A. for a brief time seemed the
realization of ray dreams, but I soon dis
covered her heart was ns false as her hair,
and her mind as shallow as her eyes.
Mrs. B. next attracted my attention,
hut she proved vain, insincere and super
ficial.
Mrs. E. could talk of nothing but tho
fashions, and Mrs. H. of nothing but the
men. I wanted a true, sensible, poetical
soul. I jingled rhymes a little myself.—
With a fellow-jiug’ler, how harmoniously
life would glide on.
I took v«ry Uttlo. Intoroet in tho <mt of
a sleeve, or the set of a what d’ye-call
em. My friend must also bo one who
took no interest in the set of whut-d’ye
call-eras, but whose thoughts soared far’
above the petty trifles which absorb most
women’s time.
I wore my own hair, teeth, complexion
and eyebrows. I gloried in the consci
ousness that though poor, they wore
mihe own.
Should sho, the fair unknown, also
wear her own hair, teeth, complexion
and eyebrows, my cup of bliss would in
deed be full. Owing nothing to art, and
still less to artfulness, how sweet the cur
rent of our united loves would flow.
At last I found her—" Eureka,” 1 said
—or words to that effect.
It was at one of Mrs. E.’s parties. When
she entered the room I felt—" this is my
female fate.”
True, she was draped in the costliest
fabrics— diamonds glittered on her taper
lingers, on her slender wrists and in her
much curled hair. Rut in her large, and
grey eyes I read her weariness of all this
tinsel and show, ami her calm, silent, re
served behavior told of her dislike to the
scones of so-called mirth.
I knew that she thought the golden
mi mien Is of time too precious to be wast
ed in such frivolities.
In the proud yet humiliated glance she
cast upon tier husband, I read the glory
of another heart offered at an unworthy
shrine—another bright spirit'bound to
one of the earth, earthy. (Sho told me
afterward that all these suppositions were
perfectly correct.) •
That evening when we were introduc
ed to each other, she remarked, in a
sweet, lisping voice, " I hear that you
arc a poetess—the only one 1 have met in
tiiis weary, selfish, fashionable circle.—
And why do you come here?” with a
bright, inquiring smile.
" Principally lo make tun of tho com
pany,” I confessed, " and yon, our hostess
tells me, also court, the muse?”
" Oh !” with a shrug of her satin-cover
ed shoulders. "My husband wishes mo
to come.”
W© found no opportunity of talking
that evening, for supper was announced.
It fell to my Charles’ lot lo load Mrs. W.
(you see 1 had jumped to the other end
oi tiie alphabet) to supper, and a* they
passed me I caught the words :
" W*hat a sweet little creature your
wife Is: I am positively in love with
her.”
Rupture! my affection was icturned.—
The patient search of years was rewar
ded. I had found at last my intimate
friend.
That night, or rather next morning, as
I stood in my own room, wearily disen
tangling the flowers from my hair, I re
marked lo him:
“ isn’t she lovely?”
Upon which he remarked to me, “ Nnt
at all.”
“Oh, my dearest,” continued J, be
tween two yawns, which I could not re
press, “ I urn sure you arc mistaken. In
her face I find Intellect, sensibility, deep
feeling and poetry.”
“And I lind,” returned the disagreeable
thing, “ selfishness, artfulness, smartness
and ho poetry.”
“Charles,” said I, with dignity,
her.”
“ Better let her alone,” muttered he
Here the argument ended, for he had
fallen asleep.
But the more I thought about her, the
more I was resolved not to let her alone.
Poor, suffering thing—chained to that
worldly creature, dragged about by him
from party to parly, decked in finery
loaded with jewels, and all to do him
honor. A poetess. How 1 should like
to read her poems—heart-breaking thing,
no doubt, (they were; she showed some
to me after we had communed about a
month, and one in which she spoke of
•* loathing her chains, yet hugging them,
too,” brought tears to my eyes.)
And so, in spite of Charles’ advice to
the contrary, (men are so disagreeable
sometimes) Eva Theresa became-my in
timate friend.
Oh, how wo loved each other, bhe
was never happy away from me. I was
never happy away from her. Morn,
noon and tlewy eve we were together. I
read her the little eft'uslons of mjr muse,
and she read me the great effusions ol
her muse. Our life was delicious.
Sometimes, I must admit, her conduct
I seemed strange to me. As, for instance,
I when she refused a few’ cents toa wound
ed soldier, saying, with a tear In her eye,
that Mr. W. objected to give money to
beggars, and the next moment expended
a dollar on confectionery—or when she
flourished three or four hundred dollar*
in crisp, bank notes regretting, with a
sigh, that she was obliged to spend them
all on herself, hut she had promised Mr.
W. to do so. or when she. requested me to
bo sure and bring my own needles and
thread, when I proposed to visit her with
my sewing.
As 1 remarked before, these tilings
somewhat contused me, for I could not
for the life of me understand how Mr.W.
could discover whether the dollar was
given to the soldier, or paid to theconfoe
tioner, or how he was to find out if a few
dollars out of the three or four hundred
were spent for somebody beside Eva The
resa, or most puzzling of all, what could
he know about my needles and thread?
“ Ah, lie is such a man tyrant,” used to
be my final conclusion, “ that poor, dear
Eva Theresa Is in mortal dread of him,
ami imagines he is quite übiquitous.”
And yet the monster seemed a good sort
of monster—that is, to Eva Theresa. He
brought her constantly the richest gifts.
Every day she received from him deli
cious fruits and lovely flowers. Ho sur
rounded her with books, pictures, and all
sorts of elegant things. Her diamonds
were tho most costly, hor drciwca tho
most, gorgeous of any In our circles.
“ But what are diamonds to a starved
■pint, or velvet robes to a thirsty heart ?”
asked Eva Theresa; “my tyrant wills
that I should deck myself gayly, and I
obey him ; hut these rich habiimonts
bring no relief to an anguishing soul.”
I noticed, however, on several occa
sions, anti it struck mo ns being rather
odd at the time, that Eva Theresa address
ed her “tyrant” as “my beloved,” or
“ my heart’s treasure.”
Well, our friendship progressed. We
read together, sowed together (when I
brought myown needle and thread,) rode
together (when X paid for tho carriage),
ami walked together ad libitum.
My husband, to my great delight, be
gan to llnd pleasure in her company, and
she, though she detested men, (“unfeel
ing, hellish brutes,” she called them),
through my influence at last confessed
that Charles was an exception to the gen
eral rule.
She spent long evenings with us, and
he took her home. Sometimes 1 offered
to accompany them, but dear, thoughtful
Eva Theresa would say, “positively,!
shan’t stay hero again, if I am to drag
you, you little delicate croatuie, out of
the house at this time of night. Much
as X wpuld love to have you with me,
dear, I know that it is better for you to
remain at home.” And she would ar
range the sofa pillows for me, insist upon
my lying down, kiss mo tenderly, and
then walk off with my husband.
It was fifteen minutes’ walk to Eva
Theresa’s residence. I couldn’t help no
ticing iliac the blue-eyed* one never re
turned underan hour. “ You must have
walked very slowly,” said I, one moon
light night, when lie had been gone an
hiiurandahalf, “ You begin to like Eva
Theresa very much?”
“I llnd her interesting—us a study,”
he answered with a smile. Charles is a
great admirer of Thackery.
It happened tlpit after my friendship
for Eva Thermal had lasted about a year,
I fell ill.
Then the devotions of my intimate
friend would have touched the heart or
a stone—that is if a stone could bo found
with a heart. .She came every day to see
me; she regretted that she could not
bring me fruit and flowers. “ You know
I would if I could, love.” I know she
hud plenty of them every day herself;
but then, of course, that dreadful Mr. W.
has a way for discovering just how many
gm\u>u urnl uliA out unci limv
many oranges she smelt. .She bathed
my head with the cologne she found on
my bureau—she did everything she
could do.
There was one hallucination on her
part, however, which sick as I was, I
strongly objected to. She insisted at all
limes that I needed sleep, ami stealing
from the room on Up-toe, would beckon
to my husband to follow, so that I might
be left to perfect quiet.
Now “ perfect quiet” was just what I
didn’t want. I wanted to be amused,
and I must confess Unit I shed n few tears
each time they left me alone.
One bright June morning 1 felt better.
The sunshine streamed in the room. 1
could see the beautiful blue sky from my
bed. Tho sound of children’s voices
eumo up pleasantly to meet me from tho
street, and, best of all my husband sat
beside me, holding my hand in his, and
telling me how glad he was that summer
was bringing health to hif dear wife.
Kva Theresa entered—something dis-
turbed her—she almost frowned—then
smiling again, she hastened in my side,
laid a Coquet of violets on my nillow, and
gave me a poetical kiss.
“ L cannot slay a moment," sle- said -
“ L have to prepare lor u fu-'hionnble \v-M
-ding.”
“ 1 don't want to go one bit,” with a
childish pout, " but Mr. \V. insists upon
it. 8o guud-by, dear, 1 am so glad you
are t»o much belter. I will see you again
to-morrow.” As sho turned away she
held out her hand to Charles. He exten
ded his, but by some mischance tho paper
she intended to place within it fluttered
down on the bed and I secured it.
11-was tho smallest possible note, fra-
grant with rose perfume.
“ Some pretty verse she wished him to
read in her absence,” 1 thought “ full of
.liiue sunshine ami flowers,” and I slowly
unfolded it.
This was the poem ;
" Will you again refuse lo meet me? -
Once more I throw to the wind my wo
manly pride and entreat you. Charles, I
love you ; oh ! so much belter than that
childish creature you call wifeevercould.
I do not ask you to forsake her, i kind Eva
Theresa;! lot her dream on, but let me
love you too. Meet mo this afternoon ;ai
the fashionable wedding?; Him is well
enough lo be loft alone —I have so much
to say to you. Oh timt I could melt that,

almost mad.
" I pray you be generous for once, and
grant me the interview I crave, k. t.’’
My most intimate friend I My dreamy,
sensitive, poetical Eva Theresa!
My sight became clear. I saw her us
she was—cruel, mean, selfish and artful.
I handed " the poem” lo my husband.
“Never let that woman enter my doors
again,” exlelaimed I, with vehemence.
"Certainly not, if you don’t wish to
have her here,” replied he, calmly.
“ And you ?” asked I, eagerly.
" My little one,” with a smile, " from
this moment I lorgct that we over knew
her.”
Since thou I have had no intimate lady

Washington, Fob. 27,
I)j:au Eag lk :
Perhaps you will be surprised to hear
that lam here. I kept It quiet ami re
quested the correspondents not to men
tion my arrival, for fear of agitatmg the
country 100 much.
As soon as the news of impeachment
was Hashed over the astonished country,
I made up my mind, packed my valise,
took an affectionate ioavo of Mrs. O'Lan
us ami the children, and started lor
Washington.
The situation at the National Capitol
is exciting.
Everybody feels that the crisis which
was expected to arrive, but was frequent
ly postponed, has finally arrived.
Alabama claims and the Alabama elec
tion arc both forgotten.
The rights of naturalized citizens abroad
are suspended, and England might bang
Georgo Francis Train, and nobody, ex
cept possibly Train himself, would feel
any concern about It.
The change in the British Ministry,
ami the removal of tlio Cunurd steamers
from Boston, ate i-vi-m* that exgilo no
interest now.
All thoughts are turned on
impeachment.
Ulllce-seekors who come to Washing
ton don’t know whether to go to Andy
Johnson or lien. Wade.
I have scon both.
They arc both confident and cheerful.
Secretary Stanton is in a state of siege.
The operations are conducted by Gen
eral Thomas, who threatens to move on
his works with a quo warranto.
Stanton sits in his office night and day
with a revolver in each hand, a bull
dog under his chair, and a bottle of Bour
bon on the* table to keep his courage up.
He don’t eat any tiling for fear of being
poisoned.
He hasn’t slept for a week.
Stanton’s allies tried a diversion in his
favor, and temporarily drove Thomas
back on theSupremeC’ourt. But the at
mosphere of a court room being unhealthy
to Radicals they had to fail back. Thom*,
as rallied and Stanton is as iooqely in- ;
vested as ever. I
Congress is being backed up on all
aides.
Besides tbe offer of Governor Geary of
the militia who stuck so bravely to Penn
sylvania when their services wore want
ed In Maryland. Governor Fenton ha»
offered to send on ills “ pardon brigade”
of Sing Sing veterans.
The Kings county Loyal League hasn’t
been heard from. 1
Where’s Bellows?
So far, I am the only fighting represen
tative of Kings conn’y on hand.
I reminded Ben. Wade of this, so that
if a new ileal takes place the fellows who
staid at home in the hour of peril can’t
come here and claim colleelorships.
Saw Grant yesterday.
He is as communicative as ever.
He said lie had read my epistle on
horses, and ho cut it out of the Eagle and
pasted it in his hat for reference.
He thinks that I don’t understand rats
quite so well. Said lie hud some experi
ence witli rats, anti he cleared out a
whole swarm of them that were feeding
at the public crib when he who or? tnfrr
ini in the War Department.
“ Yes, General,” said I, “ but you let in
the biggest and dirtiest rat of the tribe
when yon went out? But I guess we
will trap him yet, and cutoff his official
tall close up to hts ears? What is your
opinion on that point?
“ you svi-ito tKuL nrtiolo you
promised, on pups,” responded the
General, “if you call on me I think I
cun give yon a few points. I know some
thing about pups, particularly Marshall
Brown’s slut’s pups.”
Our conversation was. here interrup
ted by a chap connected with a New
York sensation weekly, who wanted the
General to give him the address of ills
grandmother, us ho wanted to try and
engage the old lady to writeup family
reminiscences for the paper.
The Impeachment Committee of the
House sit with closed doors,—on account
of tile coolness of Che weather.
Thud. Stevens is still very feeble.
He lias to bo supported by a chair when
ho sits down.
He is not able to hold his head up.
Still lie works night and day at iho ar
ticle of impeachment.
A lew of them have leaked out through
’ I lie kry hole.
I Andy Johnson Is to be imp; ached on
die following charges.
For being Andy Johnson.
, For aggravating Congress by reterring
in:in obsolete document, known as the
» oijHlitulion of Hie Foiled Stale*.
. For insisting that the Union low not

For asserting that a while myn is aa

tion.
‘ l Because Alabama didn’t swallow the
'■black draught of the Radical ConMitu
-1 . lion.
For violating the law against cruelty
to animals. in trying to kick a dirty dog
out of the Warohico.
The Radicals have made more history
since they have had charge of the Gov
ernment than any other party since the
old Revolutionary chans who kicked up
a row about a tea tax.
They have had a civil war, a martyr,
pile' l up the biggest national debt ever
hoard of, ami now they are prepared to
wind up with impeachment ami revolu
tion.
They urc i\ lively party now. say what j
you will, ami as long as the people will i
Miami the expense they will give them j
plenty of excitement for their money. i
The Hon. D. Barnes spoke on impeach- [
ruent. I
The Hon. P. Malloy Robinson was not >
on hand, consequently we in'issed hearing j
what died Impeachment will have on j
Ireland. 1
Many rumors are alloat, which are
more or less reliable—generally less.
There was a report that the Hon. John
Morrissey had introduced u compromhu
hill to settle the difficulty in a straight
forward and artistic manner. Andy
Johnson to light Ben. Wade, for the Pres
idency, at catch weights, in the rotunda
of the Capitol, according to the rub's of
the P. R.
That the speaker had ruled the motion
outof order when the Hon. John said if
Colfax would come down on the iloor
he’d mash him.
On which the Hon. J. M. was called to
order by Gen. Banka and arraigned at
the bar of the House until he treated the
members all around, the sergea'nt-at
anns fetching in the champagne.
On referring to the Congressional Uiobe,
I find no mention of any such proceed
ings.
; There is probably no truth in the story.
SIEGE op STANTON
still progresses. Thomas has invested
him very closely.
After'receiving SuinncV’s note request
ing him to “ stick,” Stanton had the seat
of his pantaloons tucked to his chair, so
that he couldn’t be lifted out of it. in case
the olllco is curried by assault.

IN DIAN IiIFK O.V THE PKAIRIES.
Beyond tho Missouri, in the wilderness,
is an Indian village, forty-eight hours
from Chicago. It is *aa rude and old
world-like us Longfellow's “forest pri
meval." It might have been described
i>y the old French lathers two centuries
ago, just as you see it, or the illustroua
•* nulive of Genoa," or anybody this aide
of the deluge of Leucalliou. It us much a
stereotype, that village, is, as u Hock of
aniuUruc imn-.es, w'n’utu it very much re*
seinblea. Your ride through tula billowy
country already seemed with deep
•‘runs" freckled like a face with yellow
flowers. You begin to find out, now it
is wanting, how much company a fence
may be, running along beside you post
haste as you go, how much of their pic
torial beauty tho “ pastures green" owe
to Hock and herd, and how a little sprink
ling of Indians in such a scene seems to
dale tho landscape back to the days of
Leathcrslockiug, Hawkeye, and Path
finder; and you feel as it one of the old
almanacs in which the s’s were all I’fl
would answer as well as any.
But two signs of civilization .appear,
the trail beneath you that is Battened out
into a wagon truck, ami the little patches
of corn, shaped like an ola fashioned
harrow, that lie about sunny bides of the
hills, belittled to vulgar fractious of acres.
These spots of earth have beeu gently ir
rigated oy the squaws, and the maize has
grown of itselfaud amazingly tail. You are
nearing the village. .Ponies of'all colors,
poor enough to herd with Pharouh'a klne
in the lean year—lor their musters have
just returned irom the buffalo hunt—are
shocking around, dragging after them
long lariats of bullalo hides. Small
pieces of bifurcated animal copper "all
alive,” but not big enough to say “ how,”
.iro loitering about loose, the n
shiny black button In every eye. buncy
thirty musk rat homes removed out of llulr
I damp Holhindic habitation to dry laud,
ranged in a circle, and magnified to a
Height of twelve or thirteen feel at the
top of the arch, and with a circumfer
ence, some of them, of forty. Cut a door
m the side and build a narrow hull of ap
proach. Pierce a whole in the top for a
light to go in and the smoke to go out.—
Set weeds and Bowers to growing upon
these homely domes. Lay lazy Indians at
length upon the sunny shies of all of
them, and you have the picture of an In
dian yammer village.
Coming nearer you discover lurking
paths running in every direction among
the tall weeds. Squaws and children are
conslanly entering and emerging by the
liuie hall door, like the bees of an old
»tru\v hive on u pleasant day. The sun
shines, and the tableaux are various and
picturesque. Hero two squaws, with
snivea of bone, are currying a buffalo
robe on the wrong side, stretched upon
four springy sticks thrust into the earth
and holding it tense and level us a table.
There a mother, with a round black head
■ n lu>r lap, is examining its contents, for
the ideas of the urchin are pretty much
all external and pediculous and can bo
caught with that toothed rage called a
comb. Yonder an old grandma with
gray hairs sits upon the ground, clasping
her knees with both hands, and swing
ing to and fro, lor all the world liko
my lady in her rocking-chair. Here a
group of boys are shooting at wild this
tle heads with bow and arrow. The ex
plosive merriment of'lhe white and black
races is wanting.
They laugh inwardly and silently, the
smoky faces just brightening up with a
show'of teeth at a good shot, and that is
all. But the girls have a laugh worth
hearing. It bursts out like a peal of sil
ver bells shaken for au instant, and then
ceases like a bird you surprise in her
song, only to begin again in another
place. There, two" Indians smoking a
rod sandstone pipe. One takes a few
whilis, and then the other. Yonder, a
brawny fellow asleep on the roof of a
wigwam.
Round n.little kettle ridden fire a group
of a dozen are gathered, some squatting
on their haunches, like hungry and ex
pectant dogs; some silting on their heels,
and one full grown young Indian in u
napkin lies, as our first mother’s un
pleasant friend in Paradise was condemn
ed to travel fornll time; his heels thrown
up like a couple of flukes at one end, his
head on a level with the top of the kettle
at the oilier.
A row of other dogs, only they are four
footed, from the periphery of this family
party, a sort of animated onion, if you
please ; you peel otl another rind of dugn,
then of Indians, and so on, dirt, dogs and
savages, unlit you come to the kernel,
which Is the kettle. The chef dc cuisine
is an old witch in asort of aboriginal pet
ticoat and short gown, and she Is bending
over the kettle of boiling fat. cooking
“sage biscuit,” to wit; Lumps of lead
en dough dropped into the fat. Ah fast
as she forks them out upon the ground—
what should we do without it for every
thing to fall ou?-r smutty arm with u
hand upon it, is reached out, and tho
teeth set into tho glowing and greasy
morsel, much as a horse manipulates a
thistle. Tho feast is over aud tho dogs
lick the kettle.
Passing through one of tho narrow
hulls built up of slicks and sods, you find
the hollow dome ns cool us a cuveni.—
Tho Iloor is of hard, well swept earth,
with n raised scalorcouch running round •
tho wall. Here, a papoose la shelved,
there a package of skins; yonder, the
drowsy master of the household. You
preccive the structure of the wigwam ;
poles brought together in the centre,
thatched with wild grass aud sodden
with turf, and amphitheater Is spacious
enough for a large fa > iiy midday falls
pleasantly through tho small sky-light.
Wo have seen homes less desirable a
thousand miles nearer sunrise, but the
wild smokey smell of the occupants sug
gest a burrow with a beast in it, and a
doubtful mingled fragrance of blanket
bewilders the scene, and you feel a queer
propensity to scratch for somebody else
; to itch!
1 A capital place is an Indian dwelling
1 to get rid of sentiment. The reader of
Cooper, iu love with ideal red men, will
- lind nothing thereto deepen it. There was
