Memoiies of other friends may fade From out my mind, and leave no trace While he, whose hand I held to-day, Still keeps within my heart a place. For life is tike a march, where some Fall early from the rank?, and die ; And some, when times of conflict come, Go over to the enemy. And he who halts on the way Wearied in spirit and fame To call his roll of friends, will find How few make answer to their name. And those who share our youth and joy Not always keep our love and trust, When days of awful anguish bov Our heads with sorrow to the dust. My friend ! in such a fearful hour, When heart and spirit sunk dismayed, From thee the words of comfort came From thee, the true and tender aid. Therefore, though many another friend With 3'outh, and youthful pleasure goes, Thou art of such as I would have Walk with me till life's solemn close. Yea, with me when earth s trials are done, If I be found when these shall cease, Worthy to stand with those who wear White raiment on the hills of peace A STORY OF TWO KISSES. I am an old roan ; so old am I that, j looking back, life seems very long, and yet so fchort, that I do not know whether j many things did not happen in a dream, j I am hale and hearty, and merry, for the matter of that ; and when I laugh, my laugh rings out clear and loud, they say ; so much so that it makes the people around, especially my grandchildren, and nephews and nieces, laugh too. And when I laugh, the old times come back when other?, who are silent now, laughed with me, and then I am suddenly still, and the laugh dies away ; and when I think of it, its empty echoes fill my brain just as if it was sleep-laughter in a dream. When I stop laughing so suddenly for the merriment and enjoyment, and, for the matter of that, the grief and pain of old men, are short and sudden, like those of children my grandchildren and nephews and nieces, have a great difficult' to stop too : and they choke, and nudgo each other, uncle ; almost as good as the story you told us yesterday." Told you yesterday ; let me sec what it was that I told you yesterday. How long ago it seems; it must be longer ago than the time when I was only twenty years old, a stalwart, bravo fellow in yel low breeches, black leggings, a heavy brass-bound leather helmet with a white plume tipped with red, and a clanking sword which I now could not lift with two bands. I was a royal volunteer then, prepared to resist the French ; and I and some of my companions were encamped in white tents on the coast of Kent. Y'es ; people think me very merry. And so, bless Heaven ! I am ; for I try to gtand upright, four-square to the world, as a man should ; but, being an old man, I have blank places in my heart now, where no love grows j barren spots in my memory, and chill and numbed parts in my feelings whereto I cannot look back ; and whereon I dare not tread and touch lest sudden pain should come back, like to the shooting of an old, old wound. liecn in love ? Yef, I should think I have ; how else could I have grandchil dren, those people who laugh so hearty when I laugh, and make me tell how old I am a score of times, and say how well I am looking. Deen in love? I think I was talking of that, was I not 1 Y'es, been in love? Well we just did love when I was a young fellow, and I recollect my Alice, and I rec ollect her as I loved her when she was very young, and as I love her now. I think that she could do anything but drink and smoke, or tell an untruth, or do a wrong action. Her face was a sweet oval face ; her hair a very dark brown, nearly black ; and her eyes a deep blue, full of merriment at one moment, ay, at all mo ments, except when she heard a sad story or was touched with pain for any one else, and then they grew deeper and deeper as they filled with tears. Not for herself. She never cried for herself that I know of, for she never had a day's illness. But sho was terribly cut up "when her poor brother died, and that you see was how I knew her. Her brother was my riht hand man in my company. Many's the time he stood shoulder to me, good at drill, good at song good at anything. He used to live near the coast ; and, indeed, he joined us, and I was one of his tent fellows, and his chum. Well he knew people that I knew, and wc were soon friends ; and he took me home to show mo Alice. He was always talking about her, and she about him ; 1 and, when lie was tnere, scarce a look did she give me. Her brother his name was Joe, and mine too could do every thing, and was the be-all and end-all of the world, I used to think ; and so one day I tried to run with Joe, and Joe beat me, and Alice laughed ; and then I shot against Joe, and he beat me too, and she laughed the more ; and I wrestled with him and threw him, and she didn't laugh then, but ran to see whether he was hurt, and said it wasn't fair fur Joe to tackle a big fellow like me, although he was nigh an inch taller. In short, I could not please her anyhow. Well, it was one day w hen we heard that the flat-bottomed boats of old Honey were not coming over, and that the army of lioulogne had melted bit by bit away, like a snowdrift, that we made a night of it. Ay, it was a night, too ! and being hot and in the summer, we must needs keep up the fun till the sun came up over the seacost, looking red and angry at our folly. Well, Joe and I the two Joes as they called us ran down on the beach and washed our hot faces, and plunged in the fresh, salt waves, and were in a few moments as fresh and merry as larks. And after dressing, Joe must needs take a walk with me who was nothing loth, you must know along the edge of the clilf. The seas for centuries have been washing that chalk-bound coast, and at intervals there stand up pillars of chalk, with seas around them. The people call such a place, "No Man's Land," and no man can own it, truly. Well, Joe came to one of these within a few feet say twelve from the cliff, and turning to me, said,"Joe Junior," said he I think I see his bright face now "I challenge you jump on that 'No Man's Land,' I do." "Joe," said I, hurriedly, "don't be a fool! It may be it would give way at the top, and if it did not, how could you jump back without a run ? You'd be stuck on the top there like a mad sentinel or a pillar saint. I'm not going to jump it." "Hut I am," said he. And before I could stop him, if indeed I had tried, he took a run and jumped. It was so sudden that I could only stand aghast when I saw him there. He stood, indeed, but for a moment, and then he took a back step, and would have jumped back, when I heard a rumbling sound, and half the top of the "No Man's Land" part, fell down with a crash ou the rocky coast below. I ran round the little creek to the other side of a small bay, and throwing my self down on the turf, stretched my neck over, looked over and cried Are you hurt, Joe !" ouf, 'Joe A faint voice came up, and I could see the poor fellow struggling under a huge piece of chalk which seemed to hold him down in agony. He smiled in a ghastly way with his whitened face, and said, "Run, Joe, run! the tide's coming in !" Well I did run, and we got ropes from the tents, and a few strong fellows held these as I swung over the cliff, just reach ing poor Joe as the cold water lap, lap, lannincr ud to his mouth, taking away his breath and then running back, crawling over him and leavirg bubbles of salt foam, as if in sport. I got him out, but he could not stand. Some bones were bro ken and he was badly bruised, so that I was forced to tie him to a rope, and they hauled him up, and afterwards pulled me up, and we took him home. Well, well ! to make a long Btory short, poor Joe died, with ray praises on his lips, and Alice bowed her head like a broken lily. It was a long time before she got over it, and summer had grown into win ter, and winter to summer, to autumn, and to winter again. The threatened in vasion was all over ; our swords were get ting rusty, our uniforms dirty, and when the holidays came I left the firm in which I had just become a partner, and. went to spend a fortnight at my old friend's in Kent. Alice was there, well and cheerful now, and reconciled to her loss, though we of ten talked of poor Joe, and as the days wore on we grew close together and she called me by my name and seemed to have transferred her brother's love to me. She never told me so nor let others see it till one merry Christmas night, when she re jected all her cousins and her other friends, and would only dance with me. We had the mistletoe, loo. At last, one madcap fellow proposed that the la dies should kiss the gentlemen all around when and how they could ; and Alice should Dlav. too ; and she, in a solemn, quiet way, smiling sadly and yet sweetly too, took me beneath the Christmast bouch and kissed me on the lips. Ay, it's many years ago, but I feel it now. My heart bea eo fast that I hard- 28, 1866. ly dared return it ; but I put my arm round her and took tier gently to the bay window of the old hall, saying, as I press ed her hand, "Alice, dear Alice, did you mean that kiss?" Well, I need not tell you what she an swered. 'Tis fifty years ago, fifty years ago ! and I am surrounded by Alice's dear grandchildren ; and there is one, a little thing with light and golden hair that will deepen into brown, who plays around my knees and tells me her little stories, her sorrows, and her joys ; so quick, so hurried in their coming and their going that they are like my own, and, as we talk, we grow quite friends and compan ions, as my Alice was to me. Bless you, she understands it all ! She is a woman in her pretty ways ; her poutings, pettings, and quarrelings. She manages her household of one wax doll and two wooden ones, and tells me, for the wax doll is the lady and the two wooden ones are (he servants in mob-caps and stuff gown?, when they gossip with a wooden policeman, who belongs to her brother, little Joe. So we are fast friends, little Alice and I ; and to-night, I noticed that she' would not dance nor play with the pink and shiny-faced little boys who were unnatu rally tidy and clean in their new knicker bockers, with red stockings ; but she came and sat by me and talked softly in the firelight as Alice did, and made me think of fifty years ago. And only think how old times came back and new times like the old ; only just think that when her mother told her she should choose a sweet heart, she gqf a little bit of mistletoe, and climbing slily on my knee, and hold ing me in talk as if to hide her purpose though I guessed it soon, I'll tell you, she put her little doll-like arm around my neck, and holding the mistletoe above my bead, she kissed me agaiu and again, and said I was her sweetheart. So this child sweetheart brought the old times back the old times that are still so distant and so near and the sweet kiss 'neath the rustling leaves, made me think of my dead Alice in the grave. A Pair of Patriots. "I will not stultify myself by suppos ing that we have any warrant in the Con stitution for this proceeding. This talk of restoring the Union as it was, and under the Constitution as it is, is one of the ab surdities that I have heard repeated until I have become sick of it. There are many things which make such an event impossible. The Union never shall, with my consent, be restored under the Consti tution as it is." Thud. Stevens. "Let me say that the Constitution of the U. S., as I understand it, expects no man who is not w holly lost to self-respect, and ready to abandon the manhood which is shown in the heaven directed counte nance, to voluntarily aid in enforcing a 'judgment' which, in his conscience, he solemnly believes to be against the funda mental law. The whole dogma of passive obedience must be rejected in whatever guise it may assume, and under whatever alias it may skulk whether in the tyran nical usurpation of king, parliament, or judicial tribunal." Charles Sumner. These are the worthies who assert that the Southern people have no right to be represented in Congress because they arc not loyal. A Happy Nigger. A nigger sat on the curbstone bare, the lights of his grinders showed free from care; his hat was brimless and full of air holes, his shoes nearly minus vamps, quarters and soles, while his coat, boots and vest into fragments were blown; and excepting a collar his shirt was all gone. To any one passing, 'twas easy to see, this darkey was happy as happy could be; though wanting in food, he seemed not to feel it, but patiently waited a good chance to steal it. No master to hector him now, like a Turk, or mistress to hurry him up to his work; no handling of plow, hoe, shovel or spade, and nothing to do but sit in the shade and starve to death. C3That was a very pretty conceit of a romantic husband and father w hose name was IJose, who named his daughter "Wild," so that she grew up under the appellation of "Wild Rose." But the ro mance of the name was sadly spoiled in a few years for she married a man by the name of "Bull." If there is heaven on earth, it is on a soft couch by your own fireside, with your wife on one side, and a smiling baby on the other; a clear conscience a dozen cigars, and a knowledge that you are out of debt, and don't fear the tailor, or sheriff, or the devil. VOL. 13 NO. 19. Good News from a far Country. The political news from the Far West is somewhat cheering. In Nebraska, wo learn from the Tribune- of yesterday, the Democrats have gained considerably oa last year's vote, though that journal still claims the success of the radical disunion ists "beyond all perad venture." The Radicals have been joyously appropriating Oregon, and conic cf their journals have been quite ecstatic over the restilt on the. Pacific coast. Y'esterday, however, a brief telegram came over the wires w hi li greatly dampened their hopes in that dis tant region. The news is as follows : "The result of the Oregon election re mains in doubt. Both parties claim the State by a majority of about six hundred." While this performance was going on in Oregon, the "copperheads" were hard at work a little further North, in a territory called "Washington," aud the result of their labors, "as far as heard from," is thus pleasantly announced : "The returns of the election in Wash ington Territory show large Democratic gains. The entire Democratic ticket in nine counties is elected, and it is believed to be so in four others." We commend these fellows to "Con gress." They certainly need "reconstruct ing." If the news should be confirmed by subsequent intelligence, there is but one thing left for the RumpsQ do, and that is to pass some constitutional amendment which will prevent the inhabitants of these benighted regions forever hereafter from voting the Democratic ticket. Age. What Whiskky Dots. It meets many a luckless traveler on the ;reat turnpike of life, and robs him of character and friends. It intrudes into happy families, saps the foundation of their peace, drives them homeless, wretched and foilorn, to subsist on the cold charity of an unfeeling world. It meets a mechanic and causes him to neglect bis business, drives away his customers, and reduces him to a statj of wretchedness and misery. It meets a farmer, and soon briars cover the face of his farm, his fences are broken down, Lis habitation becomes leaky, and the win dows stuffed with nirs. Fiuallv it sell.- his farm, and whisky sellers pocket the money, while the heart broken and sickly wife, with her little children around her crying for bread is turned out of doors. But where is that once thrifty farmer, kind and affectionate father ? Yonder in the street a miserable wretch, wandering from grocery to grocery pawning his coat for whiskey. And the vampires who hide themselves behind serenes and blinds, are willing to take the last cent and then kick their miserable victim into the street be cause he has no more money. CiT A Johnson meeting was lately held in Towanda, Bradford county, Wiliuot'iJ old stamping ground, and the darkest ne gro equality region in the State. The meet ing was large, and was participated in by some of the most influential Republicans of the county. Colonel Allen M'Kean, once a member of the legislature, an in fluential Republican, and a son of Hon. Samuel M'Kean, w ho was formerly Uni ted States Senator, presided. Among oth er prominent Republican leaders who par ticipated were E. W. Smith, Esq , and Hon. II. W. Tracy, twice a member of the Legislature and late Republican mem ber of Congress from that district. Res olutions were passed sustaining the Pres ident's policy, and recommending the call ing of a convention of the friends of the President to put in nomination a third candidate for Governor. A Man got tipsy and indulged in h night's sleep in a country grave yard. On opening his eyes in the morning he no ticed the inscription on a grave stone "He is not dead, but sleepeth." "When I am dead," he remarked with great delib eration, "I'll own up, and have no Euch statement as that above my carcass." C3TA White Man's Bureau, it is ru mored, has been thought of by some ot the "Copperheads" in Congress; but Thad deus Stevens thinks it would cost too much, and benefit a very unworthy cIrsj of persons. That settles the question. Cylf some of the speeches ef our Ftates meu do not reach down to posterity it will not be because they are not long enough. CvJ" It is no misfortune for a nice young lady to lose her good name, if a nice young gentleman gives her a better. President Johnson's June journey will probably embrace a general tour of New England. Wiiat a poor world this would be with out women and newspapers how would the news net about ? '-4 I HI i i ll Ti
