' AW OLD SOLDIER'S OPINION. I'm a plain old nldier who fought la th rank), One arin gone and this ugly (car ; With nothing except my country' thank, Not eren a oherron or a bar ; Ibongb I fouzht a well a most of 'en Jid, Loaded and fired with a tru an ' a ; But then, you see, the faot of it is, We are not all of us born to fame. An army of onplains would hardly do. With all to oommand and none to obey J I'm proud of wearing the army blue Proud of it now to Ibis very day. Though the oruel war is over and done, And I've laid aside my soldior-dress, TruHt in the truth of what I say, My love fur our cause is none the lest. Think you, of men who have fought and bled On common ground that is dear to each, Where foe with foe have lain stiff sod dead, ' That of Itself rbnuM widen the breach? My notion is. and I Ikink I'm right. There seldom was cau;e for quarrel yet, Since the tima of Noah, betwixt man and man, That one or both of 'old couldn't forget. I may ba wrong ; but that' not the point, With a little patience I'll soon get si ; Sly tongue, like tt times, is cut of joint, And wags a little this way and that. The point Is this; now tho oountry's saved, Who is the man, of all, tn-dav. Fitted the best lo take the obair ? To put the thing in a plain, straight way. We've many among us, good men and true, Civillian and soldier, that I'll own ; Sut the fact is plain to both me and you, There is always one, as the world ha shown Alwnys one more than all the rest ; Kome model, you see. of the human race, Moulded by Nature, the mother of all. Fashioned and fitted for some high place. There was Washington take for example him ; And old Napoleon, the boast of Franaa ; England's Wollington, stern and grim Men not made by a freak of chance. But to come riht down to the present day, There's (Iriint ; now tell mo where can you find A man for President fitter than he t Or to it seems at least to my mind. When the war had lasted for four long years, With little hope ol a speedy end. And thousands of eyes wore wot with tears For the loss of husband, brother, or friend While the town of Kichmond still held out, Publishing wide our sore disgrace, From the glorious West ho took command And proved himself the man for the pine. Now that's the drift of my talk, do you see ? If I'm not quite clear it's my fault, thai' all ; For every crisis there needs must he One man, the right one, to answer the call. Here we have biiu in Grant, a we had before, And it's my opinion be can't well miss; inu people are tor biin, ho s their choice, to what better proof could thero ba tban this ? MISCELLANEOUS.

I wrote to A. J. to know if he would allow per diem, transpor tation and mileage to delegated, to wicb ue angered : "Sir For wieh candidutes do yoor dele gate pel pose to vote " This cioncl t-pislle settled me. I couldn't go there pledged to him, becoz ef he Bliood ent be nomiuuted wut wood become uv my Post Ollice? Wood bia successor continyoo me in place, wbo bad bin active in support uv uuot her? Finally the dny for our Convenslaio came, and wo assembled. Bascom wuz uouiiua ted, but be declined. Deekin I'ogram wuz oll'ered the honor, and be declined, and so did McPelter. Isaaker Uavitt, Podhatnmer and the rest uv em. We passed all the first day iu tryia to get oue wbo wood .tick, but all iu vane. Nuecaino we adjourned till. ddo the nest niorniu, wbeu we resoomed our unsuccessful endeavor to persuade each other to go to Koo York. Another day wuz thus fruitlessly spent, and still another aud auotber the last leaven u do nearer our haven than the first. And so a week passed. We met every mornin, coaxed, begged aud swore at each other till nile, only to meet and go through the mine formula the next day. I lei t that, unless eutlifn wuz done, the Corners would go unrepresented. On the eighth day, at about ten in the morniu, Deekiu Pogrum'a youngest boy, a fair-haired lad of fourteen summers wbo re semble the Deekin, came in with the Noo York Day look, wicb the Deekiu takes but never reeds. The Deekiu tost it over to lius com, who opened it, and red a nrnit, w hen bis fucc chuuged instantly. "Hell 1" ted be, to himself, and tlitu be aroze; "Mr. Cheerman," sed he, "to end this un profitable session, 1 wood say that I bev reconsidered my determiuashen. I will go to Noo York !" The L'ouvoDslion wuz thunderstruck. Wat did it mean ! The Deekin seized the paper, and glaucia over its columns, read painfully a uiiuit aud sed that ba wuz sur prised at Mr. 13 uacotn's aaahooreuce. "I sbel be a delegate myself," sed he. By this time McPelter read it, and I got it and read this paragraph ; "Let the Western Deiuocrisy beware. They must come on the Fourth prepared to encounter bribery and corrupshuo. lietmont and Vie Wall itreet clique hee ratW fl.UUO, UOU to le yoosed in the punluue of delegate to defeat J'endUton," Tho Deekiu pertested agin Bascnm's goto. "Yor can't ba spared," shrieked be. "Who will run the bizues iu ynur absence t Is ther man in the Corners you dare trust inside yoor bur a mink I No, I will go." 1 bev borne the beat and burden uv the day I wuz with Forrest, and now that ther is a ebuuee to make sttthin ibut is now that ther is a posishen uv prof with is lo say honor. I want it." Isaaker Gayitt, with a face pala with dis appointment, that be badu't taken it when it wuz otfured him. swore that ef the Qavitt family vr us to be overlooked, why the soon er Democrisy wuz burec) the better. Soiuo l)ere u lb course uv my leadiu, cum across an account uv the trouble that wuz perdoost in a mythological beaveo by some cuss who tost in a golden apple, la belled "to the fairtt," or words, to that tffeclf, Tb iDDOUDMotDt that Beloont bed a million and. a balf to invest in dele gates wuz the golden apple which set us ia a uproar. Every cuss in the convenshun wanted to be a delegate Itnmclttiy, ana the result wuz, the entire bilio come to blows. I bed the mortificashen uv seed Bascutu with bis fi ntrers clutched in the necktio uv the venerable Pogram, Isaaker Gavitt and Mcl'elter wuz similarly engaged, wnno l wuz dniu my level best to restrain Pod ham mer from mxBsticreein me. Had Dot Joe Biuler and Pollock arrived opportoonly, then entire Democrisy uv tho Corners wood have bin wiped out on the spot. it wuz finally settled by thrown dice tor it, wich rool ought, by the way, to be adopt ed by all Democratic bodies everywhere. fcatidnll and McCullougb bev pmctist it with distinguished success in making their appointments. Say ther nru twenty appli cant!!, or, to get neerer trooth, three hun dred, for any given place. Very good. The head ot the Department ascertains first et thev are all Dimoorats. Then three hundred clerKs are detailed, each clerk representic a applicant, and they throw dice, the lowest retirin every throw, nntil oue is victorious, and the man represented by him gits the place. It saves a vast amount or launr. in the pggsaminushun uv certilikits uv carnkter and timid, &c ; and besides, its imparshel. All the appointments are now made in that wnv at Washinton. We adoptid this device, and I wuz made delegate and Pogram alternate, the agree ment being that whatever we got over ex penses wuz to be divided ckal'y. Then a boly calm succeeded tho storm uv pashen wich bed raged. We go, uv coorse, ur.in structcd, for obvus reasons. El' we wuz in structed wher wood be the objik uv our goin ! It is not sich that Belmont will go fur. The uncertainty uv the result uv the con venshen (I say uncertainty, for who kin tell wich candidate bez tho most monev ?) be occasioned me a vast amount uv trouble. I bev bin lul orir. assidyously to git our peo ple into a fame uv mind to be etithoosiastic over the nominee, no matter who it is, or wat platform he is put onto. To bring this about I bev bed em in front uv Buscom's every nite for a week trainin uv em. I ranged them in a row and takin my posishen in front, give the word like a melishv offser. "Attenshen 1" sez I. "Hor lor Chase and Morrisey I Together 1" "Ror for Cha " but ther they broke down. "Parson )" sed Deekin Program, "I cant, Give me a week or two to practis alone by myself, and possibly I kin make it. The spirits is willin but the flesh is week." Isaaki r Guvitt pertestid. "I kin," sed be, "possibly go Chase ; but sposn they put bumncr on the tikkit with him? Sumner 1 wont go." "It won't do," sed I. sternly, "Ror for Chase and Ameriky for wite men 1" "Kor 1" "Ttor for Chase, Brick Pomeroy, and ekul 6uflragc." "Tor!" shouted they commendably. "'Kor for Chase, A. Johnson and Mayor .Monroe 1 "'Ror 1" "'Kor for Chase aud Ri'pudiasben 1" "Will that be the slogun if Chase is com inated ?'' asks the Deekin. "It will down here. 'Ror." "Ror!" yelled thev all. "'Hor for Chase, Fernando Wood, and ueatn to niggers. "Kurt" "'Ror for Chase and Fred Dougiass." "Ror 1" "'Ror for Chase, Pendleton and no taxa sheii for a uncoustooshuel debt I" "'Ror 1" "'Ror for Chase, Hancock and restorashen on our plan. ' "'Ror 1" '"Ror for Hendricks, Chase and general amnesty 1 ' "'Ror 1" "Very good l"sed I encouragingly. "Very good, yoor flexibility is more so tban I sposed. Re member, my brethern ef Chase does stick iu j oor tbrutst the beginuin, that the Chase yoor bolleiin for aint the Chase yoo yoost to d n. Remember that that partikeler Chase died some time since. He went out and bezn't bin hcerd uv since. He wuz metamoropbosed like a grub. He shed bis Ablisbiuism and the noshens wich impelled yoo to bate him, and ez be come to us, be is uv us. We bev bin recrooted iu that way ior some time, Ther aint but one Presidency, bulleloogy, and we're tollably cortin to it, sooner or later, all them who git ther ee fixed on that pluce, but are on able to put any other part of ther bodies ther. Let us watch and pray. Exercise daily on all these candidates and all these platforms for the good Lord wbo alon for knows the decisions of a petit jury, only knows wich uv nn we shall be compelled ko hooray for. Let us accustom ourselves to all, that wo may enthuse at the beginning and strike terror to the harts uv our foes." tAnd I dismist em with my blessin. I to wutist wen-t borne and burned all my old speeches and sermons on the nigger, destroyed remorselessly all the banners and motoes which hiad any reference to the Ethiopian, and otherwise cleared the decks for acshen. Wo may bave to go into the fite with Chase aud nigger suffrage. I want to commence early, so ez to get niggcrpboby completely out uv my system. Its ruther renchin in these political gymnastics, but I am tkal to this or any other emergency. PfiTltOLEL'M V. Nabby, P. M., (Wich is Postmaster.) Did'k r Fosteh no Seen Feemn'. Dea con Simes was an austere man, who fol lowed oystering, and was of the bard shell persuasion. The deacon "alius made it pint" to tell bis customers that the money which be recived for "isterY1 did not belong to him. "The good Father made the isters," said the deacon, ''and the money is bis'o ; I'm only a stoiart." They do say the deacon bad a way of getting about ten cents more on a buudred by bis peculiar method of doing business for somebody else. One Sunday morning the old fellow was tearing round from house to bouse, with a suspi cious bit of currency in his band, and more than a suspiciou of rage in his face. Some one bad given him a bad fifty cents, and "he wosen't goin' to meet' till that are was fixed up."

Why Oraai Khonltl bo Prealdetst. Providential influence and guardianship over nations generally appear in tbe charac ter of the persons brought up for their safe ty and defense. Moses was endowed and peculiarly fitted for tbe task of leading the Israelites out from Egyptian bondage, while Cyrus was especially prepared for the resto ration of that ancient people. But the most important event in the history of the human rnco was the introduction of Christianity. This new religion occupied at leist three hundred years in its formation aloue. Du ring this evcntrul period, and the seven hun dred years following, the noblest portion of iiuuiHiniy pasaeu irotn me ancient religions ot paganism tn a worship of the true faith. This heavenly doctrine had grown up under sneiter ot mo no man power, and bv tho middle of the fifth century had overspread all its provinces. The worship of Idols, which fo rages bad been looked upon as a sacred duty, now begun to bo neglected ; but tho advocates ol these ancient su perstitions, like the slave-drivers of Ameri ca, were determined to hiake resistance to the further spread of Christinn civilization. In a. d. lour hunured ana torty-nve, At tila the Hun founded Budoon the Danube; six yours afterwards ho was furnished with material aid Irom the entire Heathen worm to wage an exterminating war on the fol lowers ot Jesus, styling nimseii "ine Scourge of Qod" Attila, at the bead of sev en hundred thousand pugnn troops, was de termined to crush out Christianity in the Western Empire. A great und important event in the affairs of mankind was then about to take place. Urged on by the au guries of the hem lien priest hood, in com mand ot this immense army, lie commenced tbe invasion. Although the civil power of Rome was fast declining, yet sulticient vital ity was left to enable the Roman General Aetius and 1 lieodorlc.lving ot tho Visigoths, to gather the Roman legions to repel the invaders. 1 lie two armies met on the plums of Chalons, where the great buttle was lought that decided the fate ol Christianity in the tilth century. Attila'a intention was first to crush the army under Aetius, and then advance with overwhelming power to extinguish the last spark of C'hiistiuti eivili zution in the doomed Roman Empire. King Theodoric, while leading a cavalry charge against the right wing of the heathen nrtnr. lost his life, but under the guardianship of Divine Providence Aetius (like General j Giant, raised up for a mighty purpose) tit umphuntly defeated Attila in bis gigantic effort to destroy Christianity. Tbe good that resulted to the human race from this great victory can never be over-estimated. O'.her and important buttles have since bceu fought, such us Totirn, a. d. 732, which res cued Briton and Gaul from the civil and religious yoke of the Koran. Then comes the battle of Hastings in lUUO. and Joan of Arc's great vietcry over the English, at Or leans, 1429 ; then we have the defeat of the Spanish Armada, 1588 ; the battle of Blen heim, 1704 ; that of Pultowa. 1709; theu comes the victory of the Amcricuu Revolu tionary fathers over Buraovne, at Saratoga, 1777 ; and Waterloo in 1815. In the above battles, extending through a thousand years, some of the commanders. like .Napoleon, have let t imperishable luu rela. But when in any age of the world docs history record such a galaxy of bril liant military successes as those, achieved by General Grant? While we are all reve rence tho never to be forgotten names of Washington and Lincoln, we must consider it one of our chief mercies to have a man left with us whom Providence has miracu lously preserved through fifteen hard fought battles, a man who everywhere has shown that he possessed that Jtlicity the Romans so much valued in their generals ; a Chris tian would cull it miles of Dirine Piovi dence, which seems to rentier auspicious all bis undertakings; a man with caution and intrepidity, with patriotism and enterprise, with modesty and firmness; a man with cool, penetrating judgment ami prompt de cision. Every American citizen who looks upon tbe old Hag should remember that Grant and the brave arm v under him carried it on from victory to victory ; Irom Fort Donclson to Corinth, from Corinth to Vicks burg, and from Vicksburg to Richmond. This was done to strike the shackle from the slave, and in defense of the best govern ment ever instituted by man; while Lee, bis antagonist, represents Attila the Hun fighting for Blavery, tbe twin brother of bar barism, Grant's name will ever be associated with tbe salvation of bis country. It was be who waded through fire and blood to free it, and leave it undivided to posterity. Who is there to speak againBt bim t Some say, other Generals might have done the same, but other Generals did not do it. And what though Rome might have possessed other Senators beides Fabius, who could have vanquished Hannibal, or besides Fa bricius who could have withstood the bribe of Pyrrhus f Is that any reason wby these old Romans should be robbed of the glory with which they have been crowned by the consent of ages I Wbo can view the present ULsettled condition of the United States, knowing the strength of the contending parties, and not agree with us that it is one of the noblest acts of patriotism in General Grant to forsake bis sure situation on the summit of fame, to accept tbe dubious helm of government, and for the sole good of his country risk a reputation which history al ready secures bim untarnished and immor tal.

On Saturday night Daily & Co.' circus and menagerie concluded ita engagements and about 4 o'clock on Sunday morning left for Watertown. Those of our people who have driven on this road know the very bad condition the road is in, and will not be surprised to learn that one of tbe cages careened and fell into the ditch by tbe side of the road. Tbe driver lieing thrown off, struck stone by the roadaide, injuring him so badly tbat be let go, hi horses, wbo started, pulling the capsized cagu with them, and dragging it oyer the rough road. Tbe animal in the cage, a liouess and her whelps, awakened from their slumbers, set up a terrific roar which fright ened tbe horP. increasing their l'"y ! pid spued. Fortunately the horses broke from tbe wagon, before going great dii tauce, Tbe affair created much excitement, as it wa learned, through the scattered line, and the other teams closed of la it, in order that the attendants might render assistance. Upon attempting to lift the wagon back to iu place, it waa found that the cage of the lionesa -vsi broken, and tbe train muter or- dered it let dowa again until tbe tamer wbo had tbe cage in charge could be sent for. In letting it tlowq part of the cage caught the leg of one of the whelps, badly jamming it. Hitherto tho lioness bad paid no atten tion to the men gathered abonH, but when the wbelp set up a cry of pain, the mother sprang up in anger. This set the whelp to uttering most plaintive roars, when the rage of the older beast became terrific. It dashed tn the whelp, began licking it, and at the same time uttered those loud roars w hich have made it so famous. Becoming en raged at its treatment it dashed to and fro In its narrow limits, throwing itself with full force against tho sides of the cage. A couple of lions in an adjoining apartment became excited over the scene, and nut only added to the confusion by their roars, but strove to break down the barrier bctweeti the two cages. Tho scene was oue of the most startling imaginable. All the beasts in the capsized cages were yelling and stri ving to get out, while those in vans which had halted near became frightened and wero I uttering tokens cf alarm in their peculiar manner. The horses, too, of all tha vans, exhibited the utmost terror, requiring tlie eflbrts of the drivers to look after them. As soon as word came to the band wagon, the camels and elephants were urged for ward, and camo up ou a quick trot. But no sooner had the animals attached to the wagon comu within the sound of Hin linn.' voices, than they exhibited the most a hject fear. The elephant threw up its trunk aud blew a terrific blast a blast tliHt startled all even those who had no sins of fear. Its keeper bravely kept by its side and attempt ed to quiet it feats, but the massive animnl wns thoroughly alarmed. It seemed to be insane, and its yells we-o full of agonized fear filled w ith terror. Tim c iniels startled, some attempted to break from their harness, while others fell down flat, all uttering a peculiar cry. About this time the lion-tamer camo up. and hastened to the cage. The beasts had become so excited now that they scarcely noticed him, but made redoubled efforts to get out into tho open air. Had the tamer at this time larked a courage which seemed nkin to utter recklessness, the beasts would no doubt have succeeded in mnking their escape. Without fear he went to tho cage, ami very soon discovered the cause of the fury of tlie mother. He called the attendants of the teams to his aid, but they were scarcely to be blamed when they did not care to venture too cear. Two or three of them came, and witli the assistance of levers, separated the pieces of the oage so that the whelp extricated its f.xit. Tlie mother, her suspense relieved with the re lease of the whelp, ceased her yells, and auuin commenced licking the wounded foot. The other lions seemed not entirely satisfied. and rattier to enjoy mo contusion they were creating. Keaching through the ventilator. mo tamer strtirK one nttiipm an heavy a blow as he could witlra short iron bur, which seemed to send gomo reason into his bead; and when the order came for bim to move, he and his companion went into their own apurtment, ceasing their howls, but koepintr "P a low, indignant crow-linn, like ! dogs. The men came forward and raised i the wagon to its ulaoe. fastening up the cage where it was lrokcn, and the horses being attached the team drove on. While this waa lieing done, it seemed as if the hand team would more than fill the, bill which tho lion family had attempted. Although the sound of the lions' voices could no longer be beard, its effect was left on the camels. Their keeper had detached them from the carriage, and had succeeded in getting them a few rods away. They now made no effort to escnpe, but lay down panting through feu.-, and apparently obli vious to everything around them. The monster elephant, ulso detached, seemed to be in a quandary as to what he should do. He slashed his trunk against his side with a dull but loud "thud," and then raising it in the air blew blasts upon it, before which all the trumpets of a baud were as nothing. But by soothing and coaxing he was at length quieted, mid again attached to the wagon. Tbe camels were aroused at length by kicks and blows, and the strange ;ani mala moved on, trembling iu every joint, JV. Y.

BT JOflli BILMSVU I hav flonlly com tew tho conclusion thai larger beer as a beverage is not intoxicating. I hav bin told so by agcrninti who said Im bad (trunk it all cite long, Just to try the ex periment, and was obliged to go borne uti tirley sober in the morning. I have seen time mun drink sixteen glasses, aud it be was drunk, be waa drunk in german, and nonody coul understand It. It is proper cnuff to state that this man kept a larger beer saloon, and could have no object in stating what was not strictly thus. I believe him to the full extent of lay ability. I never drunk but three glasses ov larger iu mi life, and that made mi bud, ontwist as tho it was hung on end of a string, but 1 was told tbat it waa owing to my bile beio out ov place ; ant) I guess that it was so, for I never bilcd over wuss than I did when I got hum that nitc. My wifu tliot ( was goin tew die, and I wuss afiaid that I shouldn't, for it did seem as tho every thing I had ever eaten in my life waz cum min tew the surface ; and I do really believe that if my wife hadn't pulled off mi booU jest as she did they would bav cum thun- derm up too. Ot how sick i wuzl 11 years ago, an J I can tAsto it now. I uever had so much experience in so short a time. If any man should tell mo that larger beer wuz nqt intoxicating, i should belevu him ; hut if he shud tell me that I wuzu't drunk that nite, but tliat my stum muck was out ov order, i should ask him to state over a few words, jest how a man felt and acted when he was well set up. If i wasn't drunk that nite, i had some uv the most nateral simptuuns that a man ever bad and kept sober. Iu the first pl.tce it was about eighty rods from where i tirunk.the larger beer to mi house, and i was thus over two hours on the road, and had a bole busted through each one of my pantaloon neez, and didu't have any bat, and tried to open the door by the bell pull, and hicknpped awfully, and saw everything in tho room trying to get round on tho back side ov mc, and ia setting down in a chair, i didu't wait long enough for it to get exactly under me, when it was going round, i set down a little too soon and missed the chair abo.it twelve inches, and con Kin' i;et up soon enough to take tbe next one that cum along : and that ain't awl ; my wife sed i wuz az drunk az a becst, and, az i sed before, I began to spin up things freely. If larger beer is not intoxicating, it used me most almighty mean, that i know. Still i hardly think that larger beer is in toxicating, for i huv ben told so ; and i am probably the only man aiving who ever drunk enny when his liver wss not plump. I don't want to ssy ennythinp again a harmless temperance bevridge, but if i ever drink any more it will bo with my bands tied behind mc, aud my mouth pried open. 'I'o Tame Wild llorstcs, Tho following aro said to be tbo horse charmers recipe, so that the wildest can bo made, in a few minutes, as docile as kittens. We give them for what tbey are worth, and would like to know if any of our readers bave ever tiied them. 1. Take finely grated horse castor, oils rhodium and cumin ; keep these iu separato bottles, well corked ; put some of the oil of cumin on your hand, and approach the horso on the windy side. He will then move to wards you; then rub some of the cumin on his nose, give bim a little of the castor on anything he likes, and get eight or ten drops of tho oil of rhodium on bis tonguo ; you can then get bim to do anything you like. Bo kind and attentive to the auiuiul, aud your control is certain. 2. Give the horse a little castor on a piece of apple or potato. Put eight drops of oil of rhodium into a lady's thimble. Take the thimble between your thumb and middle finger of the right band, with the fore finger stopping tbe mouth of the thim ble to prevent the oil from running out while you are opening his mouth. As soon as you havo opened the horse's mouth, tip the thimble over upon bis tongue, and be is your servant. I will follow you like a pet dog. eaa i ItfWIPEH. Ac. CcrtrtANT Jelly.

A lady, last sea son, sent us a bottle of raspberry vinegar, which proved, with water, to lie one of the most refreshing drinks we ever tasted. She made it af.er the following recipe : Take three or four quaj ls of raspberries, put them into a stone crock, bruise then w ith a spoon, and cover them with Vinegar. I et them stand twenty four hours. Then strain this juice through a jelly bag and pgur it on to fresh berries, letting this stand another day.
