CALL TOE YOLUBTEE2S.
Ceme all ye loyal Democrats,
Whose hearts are right sod true,
Who rallied around tba Union flag,
And battled for the bine.
When treason raised its impious band
To rend that flag in two,
Too rallied with the Cnton band,
And battled for the blue.
Then under Grant the day was won.
And rebels got their doe,
Ton helped oiio the Tictory,
And insured for the bine.
And when oar honored President
Toe bold assassin slew.
Ton mourned the (ad calamity.
And sorrow draped the bio..
Fresh courage than thi traitors took,
Their treason to renew.
And by the ballot and the Klan
To fiht against the blue.
The contest wages now as fierce
As th'it of sixty-two,
And Grant is in the Sold again
To battle for the bine.
The Copperhead and Rattlesnake
Lead on the traitor crew,
Cut Grant and Colfax are the chiefs
That lead the boys in blue.
Come. rally round the flag again,
Till Tictory ensue, :
And let your ballots at the polls
bo battle for tba blue.
A KIND HEAET REWARDED .
Knowing that many readers are more in
terested in tales founded upon facts than fic
tion, we give the following si-etch, which,
although rivaling many of those romantic
pictures drawn by fiction writers, is vouched
for by an old English journal as being found
ed upon a real life occurrence, and merely
polished by the pen of the writer. The
newly married couple had jut come from
the altar, and were about starting on a bri
dal tour is the following conversation took
place.
The newly married husband took one of
his bride's h:-nds in his own. "Allow me,"
said he. '"thus to hold your hand ; for I
dread ht you should quit me. I tremble
lest this should be an illusion. It seems to
me that I am the hero of one of those fairy
tales which amused my boyhood, and in
which in the hour of happiness some malig
nant fairy steps ever in to throw the victim
iutoerief and di.-pair." -
"Reassure yourself, my dear Frederick,"
said the lady; ' I was yesterd.iy the wiJow
of Sir Junes Melton, and to-day I am mad
arne de la Tour, your wife. Banish from
your mind the idea of tha fairy. This is
not fiction, but history."
Frederick de la Tour had indeed soma rea
son to suppose that, his fortunes were the
work of a fairy's wand ; for in the course of
one or two short months, by a seemingly in
explicable stroke of fortune, he had been
raied to happiness and wealth, beyond his
desires. A friendless orphan, twenty-five
years old, he had been the holder of a
clerkship which brought him a scanty live
lihood, when, one day, he passed aiong the
Rue St. Honore, a ric-h equippage stopped
suddenly before him. and a young and ele
gant woman called to him.
"Monsieur," tdie said.
At the same time on a given signal, the
f'oinian leaped down, opened the door.and
invited Frederick to enter. He did so
though aith some hesitation and surprise,
and the carriage at once started off at full
speed.
"I have received your note, sir," said
Ae ia a very soft and sweet voice ; "and in
-sJ'ite at refusal, I hope yet to see you to
morrow evening at my party."
"To me! Madame?" exclaimed
Fredrick.
"Yes, sir, you . Ah? a thousand par
dons," continued she, with an a.r of confu
sion. "I see my mistake. Forgive me, sir ;
Jon are so like a particular friend ! What
canyuii think of me? Vet the resemblance
so itrikiug that it would have deceived
ur odc."
Of course Frederick replied politely to
''se apologies.

his astonishment was redoubled, for lie
found himself through the lady's love, the
virtual possessor ot large property, both in
England and France. The presence of
friends had certified and sanctioned the un
ion, yet as has been stated, Fredrick felt
some strange fearr, in spite of himself, lest
it should prove an illusion, and he grasped
bis bride's hand, as if to prevent her being
spirited away.
"My dear Frederick," said thj lady, "sit
aown beside me and let me say something
to you.
l ne young husband obeyed, but he did
not quit her hand. She 'began, "Once on
a time Frederick started, and half seri
ously exclaimed, "Heavens! it is a fairy
tale!" "Listen to me, foolish boy," said
she. "There was once a young girl, the
daughter of parents well-born, and at one
time rich, but who had declined sadly in
CTCumstances. Until her fifteenth year the
family lived in Lyons, depending entirely
for subsistence upon the labor of her father.
Some better hope sprung op and induced
them tocuwe io Paris; but it is difficult to
stop in the descent down the path of mis
fortune. For three years the father strug
gled hard against poverty, but at last died
in a hospital.
"The mother soon followed, and the young
girl was left alone, the occupant of a garret
of which the rent was not paid. If there
were any fairy connected with the story this
was the moment for her appearance ; but
none came. The young girl remained alone,
without friends or protectors, harrassed by
debts which she could not pay, and seeking
in vain for some species of employment.
She found none. Stiil it was necessary for
her to have food. One day passed, on which
bhe tasted nothing. Tiie night that follow
ed was sleepless. Next day was again pass
ed without food, and the poor girl was forced
into the resolution of begging.
"She covered her head with her mother's
veil, the only heritage she had received. and
stooping so as to simulate age, she went out
into the street. When there she held out
her hand; alas! (he hand was white and
youthful and delicate. Thus concealed, the
poor girl held out her hand t j a young wo
man who passed one more happy than
herself ami asked, 'a sou a single sou to
get bread?' The petition was unheeded.
An old man passed. The mendicant thought
that the experience of the distresses of life
might have softened one like him, but she
was in error. Experience had only harden-
d, not softened, his heart.
"The night was cold and rainy, and the
hour had come when the night police ap
peared to keep the street clear of all mendi
cants and suspicious characters. At this pe
riod the shrinking girl took courage once
more to hold out her hand to a passer by.
It was a young man. He stopped at the
silent appeal, and, diving into his pockets.
pulled out a piece of money, which he threw
to her, being apparently afraid to touch a
thing so miserable. Just as he did this, the
police said to the girl :
"Ah, I have caught you, have I? you
are begging. To the office with you! Come
lone!" ,
"The young man interposed. He took
bold hastily of the mendicant, of her whom
he had before seemed to be afraid to touch,
and addressing himself to the policeman,
said, reprovingly ; 'This woman is not a beg
gar. No; fch is she is or.e whom I know.'
'But, sir,' said the officer 'I tell you that
she is an acquaintance of mine." repeated
the young stranger. Then turning to the
girl, whom he took for an old and feeble
woman, he continued :
" 'Come along, my good dame, and per
mit me to see you safely to the end of this
street. Giving his arm to the unfortunate
gill, he then led her away, saying: 'Here
s a piece of a hundred sous. It is all I
have take it poor woman..
"The crown of a hundred sous prssed
from your hand into mine," continued the
lady, "and as you walked along Fuppnrtins
my steps, I then, through my veil, distinct
ly saw your face and figure "
"My figure!" said Frederick, in amaze
ment. "Yes, my friend, your fisure," returned
his wife. "It was to me that you gave alms
on that night. It was my life my honor,
perhaps, that j-oj saved."
"You a nunlieant you. so young, so
beautiful. and now so rich," cried Frederick.
"Yes. my dearest husband," replied the
lady, "I have in my life received aim once
only and from you ; anl thue alms have
decide! my fate for life. On the dav follow
ing that n.iserable night, an old woman in
whom I had inspired some sentiments of
pity enabled me to enter as seamstress in a
respectable house. Cheerfulness returned
to me with labor. . I had the good fortune
to become a favorite with the mistress whom
I served, and indeed I did my best, by un
wearied diligence and care, to merit her fa
vor. She was olten visited by people in
high life. One da Sir James Melton, an
Englishman of great property, came to the
establishment along with a party of ladies.
He returned again. He spoke with my mis
tress, and learned that I was of good family;
in short. learned my whole history. The
result was that one day he sat down by my
side and asked me plainly if I would marry
him.
" 'Marry you !' cried I, in surprise.
Sir J ames Melton was a man of sixty, tall,
pale and feeble looking. In answer to my
exclamation o? astonishment, he said, "Yes,
I ask if you will be my wife. I am rich. but
have no comfort no happiness. My rela
tives seem to yearn to see ms in the grave.
I have ailments which require a degree of
kindly care, that is not to be bought of ser
vauts. J have heard your story.aud believe
you to be one who will support prosperity
as well as you have adversity. I make my
proposal sincerely, and hope that you agree
to it.
"At that time, Frederick," continued the
lady, 'J loved you; I had seen jou but
once, and that once was too memorable for
me to forget it, and something always insin
uatcd to me that we were destined to pass
through life together. At the bottom of
my soul I believed this. Yet every one
around me pressed me to accept of the offer
made to me, and the thought struck me that
I might one day make you wealthy. At
length my main objection to Sir James
Melton's proposal lay in a disinclination to
make myself the instrument of vengeance
in Sir James' hands against relatives whom
he nrnht dislike without good grounds. The
objection, when stated, only increased his
anxiety for my consent, and finally under
the impression that it would be, after all,
carrying romance the lengih of folly to re
ject tho advantageous settlement offered to
me, I consented to Sir Jamas' proposal
This part of the story, Frederick, is really
like a fairy tale. I, a poor orphan, pcuni
less, became the wife of one of the richest
baronets of England. Dressed in silks,and
sparkling with jewels, I could now pass in
my carriage thiough the very streets where
a few months before I had stood, in the rain
and darkness a mendicant !"
"Happy Sir James?" cried M. dela Tour
at this part of the story; "he could prove
his love by enriching you."
"He was happy," resumed the lady,
"Our marriage, so strangely assorted, prov
ed much more conducive, it is probable, to
bis own comfort than if he had wedded one
with whom all the parade of settlements, of
pin money, would have been necessary.
Never, I believe did he for an instant re
pent cf our union. I, on my part, conceiv
ed myself bound to do my best for the solace
of his declining years ; and he, on his part,
thought it incumbent on him to provide for
my future welfare. He died, leaving me a
large part of his substance as much, in
deed, as I could prevail on myself to accept.
I was now a widow, and from the hour that
I became so, I vowed never again to give
my hand to man, excepting him who had
succored me in my hour of distress.and whose
remembrance had ever ' been preserved in
the recess of my heart. But how todiscov
er that man?' Ah, unconscious ingrate! to
make no endeavor to come in the way of one
who sousht to love and eniich you ! I knew
not your name. In vain I looked for you at
balls, assemblies and theatres. You were
not. there. Ah, how I longed to meet you !"
As the lady spoke she took fro n her neck
a ribband to which was a'tached a piece of
a hundred sous. "It is the same the very
ame which you gave me," said she, pre
senting it to Frederick ; "by pledging it to
a neighbor I got a little bread, and I earned
enough a'terward in time to permit me to
recover it. I vowed never to part with it,
"Ah, how happy I was, Frederick, when
I saw you in the street! The excuse which
I made for stopping you was tho first that
rose to mind. But what tremors, I felt af
terward, lest you should have been already
married! In that case you should never
have heard aught of this fairy tale, though
I would have taken some means to serve
and enrich you. I would have gone to En
gland and there Fpent my days, in regret,
perhaps, but still in peace. But happily it
was to Iks otherwise. You were single."
Frederick de la Tour was now awakened,
as it were, to the full capacity of his happi
ness. What he could not before look upon
but as a sort of freak proved to be the result
of deep and kindly feeling, most honorable
to her who entertained it. The heart of the
young husband overflowed with gratitude
and affei tion to the lovelyand nobie hearted
being who had given herself to him. He
was too happy for some moments to speak.
His wife first broke the silence.
"So, Frederick," said she gaily, "you see
that if I am a fairy, it is you who havegiv
en me the wand the talisman that has
effect i'd all!"
Nature. -We stand in the presence of
nitisre and exclaim, ' it is grand." or "it is
beautiful" through mere courtesy, but how
seldom do we tike fvssession of the pros
pect. We rarely indeed ever truly partici
pte ; our thoughts are too much engrossed
in tin; picture. Nature invites us to every
one of her high festivals and gala days, and
if our attendance be prevented it is none of
her fault. The feast is spread and the seat
is ready. In the calm Sabbaths and holy
communings with the Eternal, we can al
ways find a place if the soul is willing. To
the bruised and wounded spirit she hasever
words of soothing and peace,and her solace
is of that genuine sort which may be con
stantly relied upon. When the cares ai d
strifes and cruellies of the world have wrung
the heart into anguish, let us go out to na
ture. We have but to touch the hem of her
garment in a pure faith, and we become
healed. Not a leaf but will whisper com
fort, not a flower but will shed its tear of
sympathy. The voice of the streamlet will
sing our souls into peace ; the wide heavens
refresh us with smiles of joy. The moun
tain breeze will lift away our sorrow, and
the clouds canopy us with love, for "Nature
is the shadow of God." Happiness may
be ours when the spirit slowly wings its
viewless flight from the confines of earth to
the blissful regions.

An Irishman's view of the Bond Question.
The Decatur Gazette reports the following
conversation that occurred between a prom
inent Democrat and an Irishman of that
City, recently. For convenience it desig
nates the parties as Jack and Pat:
Jack How do you like the Democratic
platform ? -
Pat I can't understand it; would ye be
after explaining-it to me all about the bond
question? ,t .- ,
Jack Oh, yes, with pleasure. You see
the rich men own all the bonds, and the
poor men have to pay for them.
Pat The divil ; is that the way ?
Jack Yes ; and now the Democratic par
ty propose to pay off the bonds in green
backs, and thus everybody will be treated
equally.
Pal Is that our platform?
Jack Not in so many words but that
Is what it all means ; and now, Pat, I want
you to do all that you can lor our party
bring the boys out to all the meetings,
and . ...
i Pat Hould on. Jack; will yer paying
the bouds off in greenbacks make the poor
man as rich as the bondholder?
Jack Not exaetly ; the bondholder will
have his greenbacks where we can tax them
Pat Then there will be all greenbacks
and money will be plenty, and we'll git gold
for our greenbacks, if we can elect Sey
mour?
Jack Not exactly; there is not gold
enough in the country. .
Pat Thin we are not to have gold at all.
flow in the divil are ye goin' to pay off the
greenbacks ? .
Jack A part of it will be paid off by
taxation, and as the greenbacks get w.orn
by constant handling we wiil print new oges.
Pat I see ; you propose to take the del t
now carried by the rich bondholder and di
vide it among the people, rich and poor
alike, by forcing the bondholder to spend
his money for property.
Jack Exactly you are learning fast, and
you see ;
Pat Hould on an idee strikes me. If
the Government debt is all in greenbacks,
and thiit), in circulation, how many cords of
'em will it take to buy a cord of wood?
Jack I cannot exactly say what they
would be worth that will regulate itself.
But by the by Pat, could you pay me that
little note ytsu-owe nie T" ' It was due yester
day, I need it very much.
Pat Yes, I know it is due, and I'll pay
you according to the Dimmecratic platform.
Jack What do you mean ?
Pat I mane I'll give you a fresh note
for the one ye have.
Jack There's nothing about giving fresh
notes in the Democratic platform.
Pat Yis, ye said we'd pay the bonds off
in greenbacks, and both of them are prom
ises to pay of the same government." Ye's
give one promise to pay for another one, ami
I'll give you a fresh promise to pay lor the
one you have now. The note you have now
says 10 per cent, interest ; the new one will
say without interest, and no time set for its
payment.
Jack But that is an individual matter,
and the other is a government matter. You
honestly owe me, and promised to pay me
esterday. Your proposition is to cheat
me out of my money.
Pat An it'scheatin' ye out of yourmon
ey, is it? An haven't I as good a right to
chate ye as the Government has to chate
the widders an orphans w hose money is all
in government bonds? I'll pay ye on the
Dimmecratic platform!
Self-Depkn'DEN'CE. Many an unwise pa
rent works hard and lives sparingly all his
life for the purpose of leaving etiough to
give his children a start in the world, as it
is called. Setiiug a young man afloat with
money left him by his relatives, is like tying
a bladder under the arms of one who cannot
swim ; ten chances to one he will lose his
bladders and go to the bottom. Teach him
to swim and he will not ueed the bladders.
Give your child a good education. See to
it that his morals are pure, his mind culli-
atcd, and his whole nature made subservi
ent to the laws which govern man, and you
will have given him what will be of more
alue than the wealth of the Indies, l'ou
have given him a Mart which no misfortune
can deprive unu or. i. ne earner you teacii
him to depend upon his own resources and
the blessincs of God, the better.
A gallant soldier of the old Army of West
'irginia was approached by an insidious
!inierhr:id the other dav. when this collo
quy took place : "How are you. John? I
kon you are going to vote with us this

enough to vote with you after fighting you
for four years was John s reply. Uut
you don t mean to say all Democrats are
rebels?" "No, but there are mighty few
rebels who are not Democrats." This was
settler. John intends to vote as he shot.
Dr. Gross, the justly celebrated surgeon of
Philadelphia, was oflee dangerously ill.
Shortly after his recovery he met one of his
lady patients they are not always patient
ladies who said : "Oh, Doctor, I rejoice to
see that you are out again; had we lost you
our good people would have died by the
dozen." "Thank you, madam," replied the
cffable doctor, "but now I faar they will die
by the Gross."
