Gray hairs '—l marvel why they strike
Such terror sal dismay,
No mark of wickedness or shame -
Or foal disguise are they.
As silent as '4% hen Infant dreams I
Steal o'er the cradle-down, i•
They weave their sparkling silver threads
to with the black', or brown. -
Gra:.• hairs!--the waning beauty shrieks
Mort her mirror's face,
And forth th' unblessed invader flies
Uprooted from its pl ice.
Oh, lady, stay that lily hand.
If our such guest should fall,
Then ray a dozen more will come
To attend the general.
Gray hairs I—l dw the Queen of France
Arrayed In regal state
Receive the elite of the land,
The titled and the great.
And a hilt .her dignity and grace
Were praised by every tongue,
The long, white ringlets o'er her brow
In fearless clusters hung.
Gray hairs!—when sprinkled here and there
tei beard:lnd whisked too,
Inspire respect and coutidence .
More thin the youthful hue; .
Or knowledge of mankind they tell,
Perchance of serious. thought,
And lore at the expensive school
Of sage experience tiinght.
Gray being—l think them beautiful
Around the ancient face;
Like pure unsullied snows that lend
The wintry landscape grace;
When found in wisdom's way that crown
With VI ealtli'd exhaustless store,

Where age is know n no more.
".Not many years since," says Fra
zer's Magazine, " certain miners, work
ing far underground, came upon the
body of a poor fellow who had perished
in the suffocating pit forty years before.
Some chemicalingcnt to which the body
had been subjected—an agent prepared
in the laboratory of nature—had effec
tually arrested the progress of decay.
They- brought it, up to the surface, and
for a while, till it crumbled away
through exposure to the atmosphere,
it. lay there the image of a fine sturdy
young man. No convulsion had passed
over the face in death—the features
were tranquil ; the hair was black as
jet. Nu one recognized the face—a
generation bud grown up since the day
on which the miner went down his
shaft for the last time. Bat a tottering
old woman who had hurried from her
cottage at hearing the news, came up,
and she knew again the face which
throt.gli all these years she had tiev'er
quite forgot. The poor miner was to
have been her husband the day after
that on which he died. They were
rough people, of course, who were look
ing on. A liberal education and fine
feelings arc not deemed essential to a
man whose work it is to get up coals,
or even tin ; but there were no dry eyes
there when the gray-beaded old pilgrim
east herself upon the youthful corpse
and poured oat to its deaf car many
words of cndearinent unused for forty
years. It was a touching contrast—
the one so old, the other so young.--
They had both been young these long
years ago ; but time had gone on with
the living and stood still with the dead."

A Bind Elephant
This animal in the absence of his keep
er, was one day amusing himself with
his chain in an open part of the town,
when a man who had committed a theft,
and was pursued by a great flambee of
people, despairing of ad other means
of safety., drew for protection under the
belly of the elephant. Delighted with
the wretch's confidence, the elephant
instantly faced about to the crowd,
erected his proboscis and throw his
chain in the air, as is the manner of
these creatures when engaged with the
enemy, and became so furious in the
defence of the criminal, that notwith
standing all the gentle arta made use of
by the surrounding multitude, neither
they nor oven his keeper, to whom ho
was fondly attached, and who was sent
for to manage him, could prevail upon
him to give up the malefactor. The
contest had continued above three
hours when at length the governor,
bearing strange account of it, came
to the s , and was so much pleased
with the generous preseverance of the
honest quadruped, that ho yielded to
the elephant's interposition, and panic,-
;lid the criminal. The poor man, in an
eestacy of gratitude, testified his ac
knowledgment by kissing and embra
cing the proboscis of his kind benefac
tor, who was apparently so sensible of
what had happened, that, laying aside
all former violence, he became perfectly
tame in an instant, and suffered his
keeper to conduct him away without
the smallest resistance.
Irish and 'Yankee Wit.
There are not many men in New
England ho can equal 3lr. J. Wy
man in ready wit; but it seems lid was
put to the test during his recent visit
to Chicago. At one of the stations at
which the train stopped for wood and
water, the crowd demanded a speech.
Mr. Wyman,. who had been elected to
speak tat thiPplaeo should a speech be
demanded, went forth and mounted a
cart attached to an a4cs.
The moment that Mr. Wyman shout
ed '• Fellow-citizens !" the donkey re
sponded in one of his loudest brays
31r. %Wyman retorted--"
am interrupted by a Demo
crat !" This was ready and occasioned
great merriment ; and so did the retort
of the owner'of the donkey, an Irish
man, who rxelaitned—" No, you :ire nut
interrupt:A by u Dimierat ! "its yer
brother that's spakin to yes! and
askin' yes to %thirst ?" Mr. Wyman
bowed to Pat and retired.
The Stutterer.
During the Revolutionary war, when
drafts were made from the militia to
recruit the continental army, a certain
captain gave liberty to the men who
were drafted from his company to make
Unit. objections, if they had any, against
going into the service; accordingly or.o
of them who hnd an impediment in
hie speech came forward and made his
bdw.
" What is your objection?" said the
Captain.
" I ca-ca•can't go," answered the
man, " because I st-st-stutter."
"Stutter," -said tho captain, "you
don't go there to talk but to tight."
"Aye, but they'll p-p-p-put mo on
g-g-g-guard, and a man might go ha-ha
half a mile before I can say wh-wh•wh
who goes there?"
" Oh, that is no objection, fur they
wit/ place a sentry with you ; ho can
challenge, and you can tire."
'• Well b-b-b-but I m-m-m-may be tak
en and run through before I can cry
fur qu-qu-quarter."
This last plea prevailed, and the cap
tain laughing heartily, dismissed
The Great Elevator.
A Southern gentleman at a North
ern hotel, perceiving that the dining
room servant, a negro, was Ilistowing
his attentions elsewhere, to h!Wnegloet,
called ap Jdipi and accosted him in this
wise :
"John, I hare servants home, and
am waited.on as a gentleman should
be. lam neglected here, ana am tired
of it. I give you fair notice that I'll
whip you like a dog unless you behave
better."
The consequence was, John became
very attentive daring the few days the
gentleman remained. On going away,
John was called up and presented with
a dollar or two, which he thus acknow
ledged;
" Tkankee, masaa. Southern gem

Black Republican Capital.
The supporters of Mr. 14coln seem
to be sadly in want of mat Nial for po
litical capital to be used in his support.
His "nick namo" by which they delight
to call him, "Old Abe," and a lot of old
fence rails which some "cute Yankee"
out in Illinois has palmed off at $lO or
$2O apiece, under the pretence that
they were "mauled" by him, seem to
be the only arguments thus far used in
his favor, and these are getting decid
edly stale. But in their emergency,
their old ally, the N. Y. Herald, comes
to their aid again, as it did in 1856 with
the wooly horse and mule bleak stories
in aid of Fremont. Their old friend
now presents a catalogue of valuable
articles which l it advises them to collect
and exhibit to excite a little enthusiasm
for "Old. Abe." The list is as follows :
1. Handle of the maul with which
Lincoln split his first rail.
2. Chew of tobacco masticated during
the operation.
B. Waistband of breeches split dur
ing the operation. Patch of seat cif
ditto.
4. Portrait of the man who stood
against a tree lookingat Old Abe POL.-
ting the rail—[Old Abe told him if he
kept on sogering there he'd never get
into Congress, and he didn't.]
5. lions of the oxen who hauled the
rails.
G. Half pint of whiskey (rifle, war.
ranted to kill at a hundred yards) dis
tilled in the hollow by Old Abe.
7. Original tin pot out of which Old
Abe took his drinks.
8. View of that grocery (by "our own
artist on the spot.")
0. String of one of tho original bro
gans worn by the Prophet in his hegira
from Kentucky to Illinois.
10. half a pound of best Young
son sold by Lincoln, as a grocer, to the
sire of the tirbt, white child born in San
gamon county.
11. Pine knot from the orio.inal hut,
built by Uncle Abe from lumb er got out
by his own hands.
12. llair from mano of horse, who
won a taco of which Uncle Abo was
judge.
13. Ditto frotn tale of losing horse in
the samo race.
14. Tooth knocked out of man's head
whu ittnother man, and chose
honest 04 Abe for ruferco.
13. Portrait of Old Abe when he tried
to 10 - Jk pretty and frightened a chill rif

Look Out for Your ft/Ms.—Farmers
hbould keep a sharp look out for their
split rails during the present campaign.
John Morgan purchased some time
ago a two acre lot on the Sewall place,
in Chelsea, which was fecced with tho
old fashioned rails and posts. Three
nights ago, every rail was carried off,
leaving the posts standing. It is pro
bable that the rails will be used for po
litical purposes.

The Course of the " Press."
I The 'following excellent analysis of
the course and objects of a renegade
fro' ru the Democratic party is from
the Philudelphia _Evening Journal. Its
touches are both caustics and truthful,
and we cannot invite the public to bet
! ter reading, if they desire to form a just
estimate of the character of a crooked
and treitoroua politician:
Ever since Mr. Forney failed, even
' with the generous though ill-judged aid
of Mr.'Buebanan, to obtain a seat in
the United States Senate, and, after
wards, a place in the Cabinet, ho has
waged a vindictive war against the
President and the Democratic party.
That ho would have been Able to ido
I either. any harm,
bnt for the fact that
hie power for good or evil kvas greatly
' exaggerated by those whom ho sue
, eeeded in impiksailig with an idea of
his importance 'and influence, is not at
all probable. But, being surrounded
, bye fevd*ook andsubservient adti3irers,
who took care to tnagnify him in public
1 ettimatien ' and using all means and
oeeitsionstlimself to the same end, he
. has managed to wreak, to sonic extent,
' a bitter personal malignity upon the
man who had done him more friendly
service than it, was possible fur him to
repay, and whose age and office, if
i nothing else, should have protected him
from the assaults of one upon whose
aftictionate respect lie had such claims
; as'only an ingrate could have disregard
! ed. In so far, however, as Mr. Forney's
i
violent and relentless abuse of Mr. Bu
ehanan was concerned, the community
` experienced little other feeling than
I tle.t of surprise or disgust. Alia, of
: late, animosity towards the President
i has grown into hostility 'towards the
Democratic party, and it seems as if
the sentiment of private vengeance
against an individual can only be corn
, plow's- gratified by the grossest treach
ery to that once powerfnl organization
which elevated Mr. Buchanan to the
office he now holds. In this latter re
" quiet, however, there is reason to be
, lieve that malignity was intermingled
; with enpidity—that Mr. Forney has
made himself an instrument in other
men's hands for fatally distracting a
; party to which he has still pretended
t to be faithful in his adhesion, and that
lie is already in the enjoyment of an
'earnest, at least, of that compensation
milli which his falsehood is to be here
after more fully rewarded. In prose
„eking this work, ho has, in order to
conceal his real and ulterior purposee,
prolessod devotion to Stephen A. Doug

' incredulous of the duplicity of a man
who is suspected bf using him as a

cognizant of, and an accomplice in, an
obvious plot to help the ” Republic:me"
, into power, by brurking down what
1-was supposed to be the most formidable,

are quite satisfied that-John W. Forney
Itins not now, and has nut for some
months pest, had any other design thin
to aid the cause of "Republicanism,"
I through the distraction of the Democra
t ey. This, it seems plain, from explicit
; declarations made within the last few
days in the editorial cOlumns of the
Press, is the game he is playing, and
1 ' the wonder is that ho bus been able to
play it so successful's-upon Se so whose
1
political destenction he is striving to
accomplish by virtue of the most flimsy
and transparent pretence of fidelity to

the blindest followers of Mr. Forney to

among whom he is desirous only to
prowke and peipetuate strife, and
against the determinations, of whose
duly constituted organs ho is boldly,
cud yet, as respects his avowed motives,
, insidiously urging
' long been of the iclief that the Press is
i a ~ Republican " paper. All that it is
doing in politics now, though professed
ly' done in a different direction, is real
ly operating, in that interest. This,
events will snow. Indeed, we should
not be surprised if, within a few weeks
or months hence, after the mischief it
! is doing is beyond repairing, it openly
declares its advocacy of Lincoln, liain
lin. and sectionalism, and audaciously
justifies its course on the ground of the
hopeless division of the 'party which it
' has labored so Industriously to distract,
disortsauizo, and destroy, and which it
long since deserted, though without the
minter or the courage to avow the tree-
I eon. ,
It is hardly necessary for us to add,
that the dissension which is effectually'
annulling the power of the Democratit
party does not cause us any further
concern than as it may, possibly, in the
present distracted state of our national
politics, affect injuriously the peace and
prosperity of the country. As far, in
deed, as it may favor the cause of the
Constitutional Union party,we can only
regard it with satisfaction. But, not
withstanding this obvious view of the
matter, we are unwilling to suffer a
traitor to the Democracy to foment di
vision in their ranks, in order to secure
the triumph of Lincoln and Hamlin,
and the consequent defeat of all ether
candidates awl parties.
TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
National Democratic Platform
The platform adopted by tho Con
vention at Charleetou was as follows:
Resolved, That we, the Democracy
of the Union, in Convention assembled,
do hereby- eclare our affirmation of
the resolutions unanimously adopted

Democratic principles are unchangeable
in their nature when applied to the
mime subject.
[The portion of the Cincinnati plat
form relating to the slavery question is
the following :]

newed energy of purpose, ti - ell con
sidered declaration of for •nven
tions upon the sectional iss domes
tic slavery, and concerning 1 - reserv
ed rights of the States :
1. That CongresS has no power, un
der the Constitution, to interfere with
or control the domestioWstitutions of
the several States, and tillitiluch States
are the sole and proper judges of every
thing appertaining to their own affairs
not prohibited by the Constitution ;
that all efforts of the Abolitionists or
others made to interfere with questions
of slavery, or to take incipient stops in
relation thereto arecalculated to lead to
the most alarming and dangerous con
sequences; and that all such efforts
have an inevitable tendency to diminish
the happiness of the people, and en
danger the stability and permanency
of the Union, and ought not to be coun
tenanced by any friend of our political
institutions.
2. That the foregoing proposition
covers and was intended to embrace
the whole subject of slavery agitation
in .Congress; and therefore the Demo
era* party of the Union, standing on
thisnationalplatform,will abide by and
adhere to a faithful execiition of the
`acts known as the Compromise Mea
sures, settled by the Congress of 1850,
the act for retilaimin ,, fugitives from
Iservice or labor," included ; which act
being designed to carry out an express
provision of the Constitution, cannot
with fidelity therefore be repealed, or
so changed as to destroy or impair its
efficiency.
3. That the Democratic party will
resist all attempts at renewing, in Con
gress or out. of it, the agitation of the
slavery question, under whatever shape
or color the attempt may be made.
' 4. That the Democratic party,,
faithfully abide by and uphold'
principles laid down in the Kanto ~ `, 7,7
land Virginia resolutions of 1798, alio in
the report of Mr. Madison to the Vir
iir Legislature inia Legislaturn 1799 ; that it adopts
e 'thosu principles as constituting one of
the main foundations of its political
creed, and is resolved to carry them out
in their obvious meaning and import

meet the issue on which a sectional
party, subsisting exclusively on slavery
agitation, North and South, to the Con
stitution and the Union,
•1. .Re.solred, That, claiming fellow
ship with and desiring the co-operation
of all who regard the preservation 6f
the Union under the Constitution as a
paramount isaito, and repudiating_all
sectional parties and platforms concern
ing domestic slavery, which seek to
embroil the States, and to incite to
treason and armed resistance to law in
the Territories; and whose avowed pur
pose, if consummated, must e'nd in civil
war and disunion—the American De
mocracy recognize and adopt the prin
ciples contained in the organic laws,'
establishiti ,, the Territories of Kansas
and Nebralti, as embodying the only
sound and safe solution of the " slavery
question" upon which thogreat national
idea of the t)eople of this whole•coun try
min repose in its determined conserva
tion of the Union—Non-Interference by
Congress with Slavery in State and
Territory, or iu the District of Colum
bia.
2. That this was the basis of the
compromises of 1850, contirmed both
by the Democratic and Whig parties,
in National Conventions--ratitied by the
people in the election of 1852 and right
ly applied to the organization of Ter
ritories in 18a4.
3. That by the uniform application
of the bemocratic principle to the or
ganization of Territories, and to the
admission of new States, with or with
out domestic slavery, as they may elect,
the equal rights of alt the .States, trill be
praerved intact—the original colitlmrts of
the Constitution Maintained unviolated—
and the perpetuity and expansion of this
Union insured to its utmost capacity of
embracing in peace and harmony every
future American Stlite that may be
constituted or annexed, with a republi
eau form of government.
Resolved, That we recognize the right
of the people of all the Territories, in
cluding Kansas and Nebraska, acting
through the legally rtad fairly express
ed will of a majority of actual residents
and whenever the number of their in
habitants justifies it, to form a Consti
t4t,ion, with or without domestic slave

ver it may be, imposed by the federal
