BABY'S STOCKING. Hang up the baby's stocking, Be sure you don't forget ! The dear little dimpled darling ! She ne'er saw Christmas yet. But I've told her all about it, And she opened her big blue eyes, And I'm sure she understood me, She looked so funny and wise. Dear, dear ! what a tiny stocking ! It doesn't take much to hold Such little pink toes as baby's Away from the frost and cold. But then for the baby's Christmas It never will do at all ; Why, Santa Claus wouldn't be looking For anything half so small. I know what we'll do for the baby ; I've thought of the very best plan ; I'll borrow a stocking of grandma— The longest that ever I can. And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother, Right here in the corner, so, And write a letter to Santa, And fasten it on to the toe. Write, "This is baby's stocking That bangs in the corner here ; Yon never have seen her, Santa, For she only came this year ; But she's just the blessedest baby, And now, before you go Just cram her stocking with goodies From the top clear down to the toe." pioaliantouo. THE LATE THADDELTS STEVENS. Eulogy of Hon. 0. J. Dickey, in the House of Representatives, on Thursday, Decem• her 17, 1868. At the opening of the United States house of Representatives on 17th inst. an unusu ally large crowd was in attendance in ex pectation of the eulogies to be delivered upon the career of the late Thaddeus Stevens, re presentative from this district. The galleries were closely packed, and the floor of the hall fully occupied, many having been drawn to the spot to listen to the maiden effort of the successor to Mr. Stevens. After the reading of the journal, Hon. 0. J. Dickey arose and said : Mr. Speaker : The painful duty has de volved upon me of announcing to the House the death of my predecessor, Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania. The distinguished statesman was not merely my predecessor in ms ooay, 1.1 soy Cll/1,111,ril au: Ms la, . taught me to admire anti love him who was the instructor and guide of my youth and the friend of my mature years. It' an intimacy with wise and noble men he one of the great est blessings that can crown a man, then in no part of my career have I been so ortunate as in my association with Thaddeus Stevens. It was in his office and in connection with him that I commenced my professional life; and from that moment, through the turmoil of my legal and political contests down to Pao moment when in his last will ho selected me to perform the last service one man can ask from his fellow, our friendship suffered neither diminution or interruption. Informed that my duty requires of me a sketch of the history of my friend, I hope to be pardoned by the House for any prolixity of statement, promising to leave to others, abler and titter, his associates here, who are to follow me, the analysis of his character as a statesman, anti the story of his struggles and triumphs in this arena, where he was recog nized as a great leader, and bore the name of the " Old Commoner." Thaddeus Stevens was born at Danville, Caledonia county, Vermont, on the 4th day of April. 1792, and died at his residence in this city, at midnight, on the 11th day of August, 1868. His parents were poor, in a community where poverty was the rule and wealth the exception. Of his father I know but little, save that he enlisted in the war of 1812, and died in the service. Upon his mother chiefly fell the burden of roaring their four sons. She was a woman of great energy, strong will, and deep piety. Early seeing the am bition and fully sympathizing with the aspira tions of her crippled boy, she devotedly seconded his efforts for the acquisition of knowledge, and by her industry, energy and frugality, largely aided him in procuring a collegiate education. He returned her affec tion with the full strength of his strong nature; and for many years after he had acquired fame mid fortune in his adopted State, had the pleasure of making an annual pilgrimage to the home which he had provided for her comfort, and where she dispensed, with means he furnished, a liberal charity. In the last year of his life, in writing his will with his own band, while making no pro vision for the care of his own grave, he did not forget that of his mother, but set apart an ample sum for that purpose, directing yearly payments, upon the condition "that the sexton keep the grave in good order, and plant roses and other cheerful flowers at each of the four corners of said grave each spring." In the same instrument, devising one thousand dol lars in aid of the establishment at his home of a Baptist Church, of which society his mother was an earnest member, be says, "I do this out of respect to the memory of my mother, to whom I owe whatever little of prosperity I have had on earth, which, small as it is, I desire emphatically to acknowledge." After attending the common schools of the neighborhood, he fitted for college at the Pea cham Academy, in his native county, entered the University of Vermont,and remained there about two years. The college suspending ope rations on account of the war, he proceeded to Dartmouth, and graduated at that institution in 1814. After reading law at Peacham in the office of Judge Mattocks for some months, he left his native State and settled in Pennsyl vania in 1815, first in the town of York, where he taught an academy and pursued his legal studies. The rules of court in that district having required students to read one year in the office of an attorney, he went to Bel Air, Harford county, Md., and was there examin ed and admitted to practice in August, 1816. He at once returned to Pennsylvania and opened a law office at Gettysburg, in the coun ty of Adams, and entered upon the practice of his profession in that and adjoining counties. He was soon in the possession of au extensive and lucrative business, to which he gave his entire attention for some sixteen years. I,may here be allowed briefly to allude to a few traits of Mr. Stevens as a lawyer. Al though not perhaps of great national reputa- , a , , _ 4 ‘ 4 4 , , ... .ily for ;Yes ass D tc,~ ~ care lb/. him who shall hare borne /he battle, and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which ,nay achieve and cherisA a just and a lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."—A.Z. tion as such, he was recognized by the profes sion, in a State claiming some eminence for the high character of her advocates and jurists, as one of her greatest lawyers, and was so pro nounced by three of her ablest chiefjusticts— Gibson, Black, and Lewis—who tried him by the sure test of uniform power. I need scarce ly say that Mr. Stevens shone at the bar with the same clearness of statement, force, and eloquence of expression, power of argumenta tion, wit, sarcasm and invective, which he employed in legislative halls, and that there, as here, he was master of all the weapons of debate. As an advocate he was always jealous of the rights of his profession, and resisted their innovation. He was always ecurteous to the court, and uniformly brief, never speaking beyond an hour on any question. He never took or used notes of the evidence, the speeches of opponents, Cr the rulings of the court, trusting wholly to a memory that never failed him. In the preparation of his law, he was industrious and careful. Here, too, relying upon his memory, his brief address cor.tr.ined no more than the name of the case and page of the book. In argument he cited but few authorities, and those directly to his purpose. Grasping one or two points which he con ceived vital to the cause, he directed all his energies and concentrated all his powers upon them, giving little attention to subordinate questions. No matter with whom associated, he never tried a cause save upon his own theory of tke case. At Nisi Prins he uniformly insisted on i personally seeing and examining before they were called, the important witnesses on his own side. Generally relying upon the strength and presentation of his own case, he seldom indulged in extended cross-examina tion of witnesses, though possessing rare ability in that direction. He never consented to be concerned or act as counsel iu the prose ! cution of a capital case—not from opposition to the punishment, but because it was repug nant to his feelings,and that the service was the duty of public officers. He was as remarkable for his consideration, forbearance, and kind ness, when opposed by the young, weak, or diffident, as he was fur the grim jest, haughty sneer, pointed sarcasm, or fierce in vective launched at one who entered the lists and challenged battle with such weapons. Ho was always willing to give advice and assistance to the young and inexperienced members of the profession, and his largo library was ever open to their use. He had many young men read law with hint, though he did not care to have students. There were, however, two recommendations which never failed to procure an entrance into his office— ambition to learn and inability to pay for the privilege. Mr. Stevens first engaged actively in poli ties with the anti-Masonic party of 1824-9, which he joined in their opposition to secret societies. lie was elected to the popular branch of the Legislature of his State in 1833, as a representative from the county of Adams, and continued to serve in that body almost without interruption until 1810, during which ate " Legi slature, if n - oth e l State. During t his service he championed many measures of im provement •, among others the common school system of Pennsylvania, which, at a critical moment,he saved from overthrow by a speech which he always asserted to have, in his opin ion, been the most effective he ever made. By that single effort he established t he prin. ciple t • never since seriously questioned in Pennsylvania, that it is the duty of the State to provide the facilities of education to all the children of the Commonwealth. In behalf of this measure he joined hand with his bitterest personal and political enemies. lie highly eulogized for his course upon this quest ion, the chief of the opposing political party, Governor George Wolf, and denounced with all his power of invective the time-servers of his own party. Himself the child of poverty, he plead the cause of the poor, and by the force of his will, intellect and eloquence, broke down the barriers erected by wealth, caste and ignor ance, and earned a name that will endure as long as a child of Pennsylvania gratefully re members the blessings conferred by light and knowledge. In 1837-38 Mr. Stevens was a member oft he Convention called to revise the Constitution of Pennsylvania, an assemblage which 1111111- beret' as members many of the strongest men of the State, among whom Mr. Stevens stood in the front rank. This Convention, notwith standing the able and strenuous opposition of a strong minority, led by Mr. Stevens, inserted the word " white" as a qualification of suf frage, thus disfranchising a race. On this account he refused to append his name to the completed instrument, anti stood alone in such refusal. For the same cause he opposed, but unsuccessfully, the ratification by the people. In 1842 Mr. Stevens, finding himself deep ly in debt by reason of losses in the iron busi ness, and liabilities incurred in numerous in dorsements made for friends, removed to Lan caster county, one of the largest, richest, and most populous counties of the State, and re sumed the practice of his profession. His rep utation as a lawyerr had preceded him, anti his income almost at once became the largest at the bar. In a few years he paid his debts and saved the bulk of his estate. In 1848 and 1850, he was elected to Congress from Lancas ter county, when, declining to be a candidate, he returned to his profession until 1858, when he was again elected and continued to hold the seat without interruption until his death. His course upon this floor has passed into and forms no unimportant part in the history of a mighty people in a great crisis of their ex istence. But I have promised to leave to others to say what may be proper in illustra tion of hi 4 great achievements in his latter days. To those here who Judged of the personal appearance of the deceased only as they look ed on him bearing the burden of years and stricken with disease, though he still stood with eye undimmed and will undaunted, I may say that in his prime ho was a man physically well proportioned, muscular and strong, of clear and ruddy complexion, will} face and feature of great nobility and under perfect command and control. In his youth and early manhood, notwithstanding his lameness, he entered with zest into almost all of the athletic games and sports of the times. He was an expert swimmer and an excellent horseman. When residing at Gettysburg he followed the chase, and kept his hunters and hounds. On a recent visit to his iron works, I found the old mountain men garrulous with stories of the risks and dangers of the bold rider, as with horse and hound he followed the deer along the•slopes and through the gaps of the South Mountain. In private life, among his friends, Mr. Stevens was ever genial, kind, and consider ate. To them he was linked with hooks of steel. For them he would labor and sacrifice without stint, complaint, or regret. In his hours of relaxation there could be no more genial companion. • His rare conversational ria kt powers, fund of anecdote, brilliant sallies of wit, and wise sayings upon the topics of the hour, made his company much sought, and many of these are the current coin of the cir cles in which he moved. Mr. Stevens was an honest and a truthful man in public and private life. His word was sacred in letter and spirit, and was never paltered in a double sense. In money mat ters he was liberal to a fault, and out of his immense professional income he left but a meagre estate. In his private charity he was lavish. He was incapable of saying no in the presence of want or misery. His charity, like his political convictions, regarded neither creed, race nor color. Ho was a good classi cal scholar, and was well read in ancient and modern literature, especially on subjects of philosophy and law. In his old age he read but few books. Shakespeare, Dante, Homer, Milton and the Bible would, however, gene rally be found upon his table in his sleeping room, where he was accustomed to read iu bed. He was- simple and temperate in his habits. He disliked the use of tobacco, and for forty years never used or admitted in his house intoxicating drinks, and only then by direction of his physician. Mr. Stevens was deeply loved and fully trusted by his constituents. He was often in advance of their views; sometimes he ran counter to their prejudices or passions; yet such was his popularity with them, so strong their faith in his wisdom, in the integrity of his actions and the purity of his purpose, that they never failed to sustain him. Popular with men of all parties, with also his own supporters, his name was a household word. To them andl among themselves, " Old Thad" was a namebf endearment, while even his foes spoke of hire with pride as the "Great Commoner." No man ever died more deeply mourned by a constituency than 'Thaddeus Stevens. Having briefly selected some of the incidents that marked the history of my friend, I will in conclusion say a few words of him on a sub ject in connection with which he is probably more widely known than any other—slavery. Mr. Stevens was always an anti-slavery man. Flom the time he left his native mountains, to the moment of his death he was always not only anti-slavery in the common acceptation of the term, but a bold, fearless, determined, and uncompromising foe of oppression in any and every form. lie was an abolitionist before there was such a party name. His opposition to American slavery never altered with his party connection, and was never based upon mere questions of expediency or political economy. lie always viewed it as a great wrong, at war with the fundamental princi ples of this and all good governments, as ash] in the sight of God, and a crime against man. Fur many years, long before it became popu lar to do so, he denounced this institution as the great crime of the nation, on the stump, in the forum, in party conventions, in deliber ative assemblies. On this question he was always in advance of his party, his State, and his constituents. Always resident in a border county, he de the right of free speech, and stood between the •abolitionist and the mob, often with peril to himself. This wits one great cause of his hav ing been so long in a minority, and of his en trance late in life into the councils of the na tion ; but for this, he was fully compensated by living to see the destruction of an institu tion winch he loathed, and by receiving for his r; ward, and as the crowning glory of his life, the blessings of millions he had so largely aided to make free. The remains of Mr. Stevens lie in Lancas ter, in a private cemetery, established by an old friend, in a lot selected by himself, for reasons stated in the touching and beautiful epitaph prepared by himself for inscription on his tomb : "I repose in this quiet, secluded spot, not from any natural preference for soli tude, but Hiding other cemeteries limited by charter rules as to race, I have chosen it that I might be enabled to illustrate in my death the principles which I have advoca ted through a long IM—equality of man before his Creat or." Let us trust and believe that if the ear liest and sincere prayers of millions of poet., down-trodden, and oppressed may smooth the pathway of the traveler on his journey from this world to the bourne of all, lds has been a happy exit. ,fatiticr .Abraltain'o sthipri.
