WHEN NY HAIR IS ORAL
0, let me smooth thisiilken shred,
And listen what my heart Must say;
—'Tis only-one,_this silvery_thresd,
Of brown curls hurrying to grow gray.
Alns! with eyes of wistful truth,
I must recall some coming day,
The grace and glory of my youth;
Who'll love' me when my hair is gray ?
Who'll love me when my hair is gray
Who'll call me "Sweet" when I em old 1"
Will sunny children round me play,
With cherub cheeks and curls of geld I
Oh, may I then renew my spring,
In maiden grace, in manly form,
While to my cold lips come and cling
Sweet childish kisses, wild and warm 1
May know the while my pulse grows less,
In bountepus life 'tie bounding on
In younger veins to love and bless,
And make life fair when I am gone!
Or, left the remnant of my race,
shell I behold my sinking sun.
And, gazing toward the unknown lands,
Thank God my day is almost done ?
Then while I pray with lifted hands,
And count betaken) my fiiiling breath
The many now no longer mine
The friends that I have lost in death;
And. counting. sigh In soul to sail
Awhile, to seek the sunny coast,
Where I may find the love I've missed,
The joy I would have treasured most:
SABBATH.
The busy noises of the week are stilled,
And sacred quiet rests Upon the earth,
The soul is calmed that With its woe was filled,
And joy divine displaces senseless mirth.
From hearts communing with the throne above,
Prayers, like freed souls, to holy Heaven rise,
And benedictions from a Fathsr's love '
Fall viewlessly and softly from•the skies.

Southern Loyalists at Lincoln's
Tomb
The delegation of Southern loyalists, d
ring their stay at Springfield, 'on .W •
!today made a visit to Lincoln's tomb. A
despatch to the Chicago Republ can gives
the folbwing account of the occasion:
The procession was a very long one, and,
like an immense funeral, slowly 'wound its
way to the tomb of the martyr, Within the.
cemetery, a . shOrt distance from the entrance,
-aod_on_the_left_of_the_toad was stretched a
large placard, on which was inscribed "the
following words: "The murdered President
—can a political party prosper under God,
the fruits of whose counsels ripened in ibis
deed? Peace Democrats, this is your only
contribution to the history of an age.other
wise unparalleled in glory!"
A few yards further on the right wee a
nother with the words: "In Memoriam.—
Let us thit'day resolve that the dead shall '
not have died in vain; that the nation shall,
under God, have a new birth of freedom.
and that a gorernment by the people, and
for the people, shall not perish from the
e trthl"
The cortege halted at the foot of the hill,
upon which stands the shrine of every loyal
American heart. Clustering around the sum
miland on the extended sides were thousands
of people, all as silent' as the grave. The
sunlight shone through the crimson and scar
let foliage, lighting up the tomb with gold.'
en radiance. On the brow of the hill a bril
giant group of women with busy fingers' had
woven wreathes of dying leaves and autumn
flowers to decorate the last resting place of
the loved President, and theta 'theyatood,
with tearful eyes, awaiting the appearance of
those who, like him, had suffered all but the
last extremity, for their country,• and who
had.come to pay tribute to his memory and
weep at his shrine The- decorations were
plain, like the character of the illte.trious
mar ty,r,_b_nt_totre atril_auggestive._-Ex,
tending over ilia top of the tomb, and bang
ing gracefully over the door, were festoons
of leaves . , of oak and maple, brilliant with
the varied colors of autumn, a n d large
Wreathes of flowers with crosses of hamar
anci dafilins hung over the door. On
each side of the 'tomb were largo rustic vases
filled with hetrutiful flowers. immediately
over the door was inscribed the words: "A
braham Lincoln. Let his name be spoken
but in reVeience; for, although he is dead,
his great deeds live after him, and the lowly
shall not hope in vain."
The proct a-ion, with the flag at its head,'
marched slowly up the ascent and formed in
double lines near the door,' leaving a space
in the center where, near the door of the
tomb, wood Colonel C. T. Brac:comb, of
Missouri, and Rev. Dr. Newman,' of New
Orleans. A feeling of the deepest solenini.
'ty seemed to pervade the vast essettiblage;
and many eyes unwed to weep were filled
with tears, although no word bud yet been
spoken. Col. Bransoorob tl et slowly read
the following oath of consecration:
"Standing at the tomb of the illustrions
dead, recalling his sublime words, his heroic
virtue, his unswerving fidelity to the great
trusts committed to him by the American
people, we here make a new consecration of
our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor
to the service of our countty, and, with un
covered heads and uplifted hands, solemnly
resolve, with the help of Almighty God, that
we will never surrender the contest with
despotic power until the foul spirit of rebel
lion shall be utterly crushed, until the right
of free speech shall be maintained on every
inch of American aril, and all wets are es
tablished in the full possession of the ivali
enable rights which God. has given, and to
secure and protect which is the object of 01
Governments."
At the words "with uneovered4eade and.
Uplifted hands," the Loyalists removed their
hate and raised their tight hands. The en
tire audience then kneeled', , and
_Dr. New
man gave Utterauce to a deeply impressive I
prayer.
The audience then slowly arose and in 4.!
/once dispersed.
The pilgrimage was ended. The burial of
the illnstrieus dead could seemly have been i
more solemn , and affecting. The , Southern
Loyalists are now to disperse to new duties,
and-many of them to new dangers.

Pete Whetstone, of Arka'nsas, was once
traveling on hotse•back through the inter
ior otthe State, and called one evening to
stay all night at a little log house near the
road, where' entertainment. and post office
were kept. Two other strangers were there,
and the mail rider rode up just at dusk—
Supper being over, the mail carrier and the
three -gentlemen .were invited to a small room
furnished with a good fire and two—beds
which were to accommodate the four persons
for the night. The mail carrier was a -little
shabby, dirty looking wretch, with whom*
none of the gentlemen liked the idea ed -- ;; -
ing: Pete Whetstone eyed him closely, as
he said :
"Where do you sleep to night, my lad ?"
"I'll thleep with you, I leeken,' lisped
the youth. "or one of them- other_lellere,__l
don't care which."
The other two gentlemen took the. hint,
and occupied ono of the beds immediately,
leaving one of the beds and the confab to
be enjoyed by Pete and the mail boy togeth
er as beat they could. Pete and the 'boy
commenced hauling off their duds,.aud Pete
getting iota bed first, and wishing to get rid
of the boy, remarked very earnestly :
"My friend, I'll tell you beforehand, I've
got the itch, and you had better not get in
here with me, for the disease is catching."
The boy, who was just getting into bed
too, drawled out very coolly,—
"Won, I reckon that don't make a bit o'
difference—l've had it now these theven
years," and into the bed be pitched, along
with Pete, who pitched out in as great a hur
ry as if be had waked up a hornet's nest in
the bed.
.The other gentlemen roared, and the mail
boy, who had got peaceable possession of the
bed to himself, drawled out,—
"Why, you must be a set o' darned fdes;
mam and dad's got the eatch a heap • worth
than I,is, and they thleept in that bed lath
tu• t_when_the • wath hero at the i uilton."
The other two strangers were to n worse
predicament than Pete had been, and bouno
ing from their nest like the old house, had
been on fire, stripped, shook their clothes,
put them on again, ordered their horses,and,
though it was nearly ten o'clock, they all
three left and rode several miles to another
town before they slept, leaving the imper
turbable-mail carrier to the bliss of scratch
ing and steeping alone.
That Baby.
• The editor of' the Atica Ledger has , get a
bran new baby. Hear hint: .
We have so Many kind friends asking a•
bout that baby, that we have thought it, ne
cessary to biograph the little chap . briefly,
'and somewhat after the curent style of the
day.
It's a boy.,
He's a buster.
Weighs nine pounds and a quarter and
old women tell that he will grow heavier as
his weight increases.
Re's the first baby of which we have ever
been proprietor, and of course is the ONLY
baby .in town.
The old women before mentioned deolared
him the "pretty image of his pa ," but in jug
tice,to the youth we must say we think' him
an improvement on the original—a world of
progresa you know.
:This .oung America is as old as eoull_he
expecteddcring the time he was born,
and will doubtless be too old for bis father
in a tew years, if he has good luck. ,
He is quite reticent in polities, , and only
wants to be let alone.
We think ho favors Mrs. Winslow's poll.
cy.
We havn't named him yet. We want to
give him a distinguished cognomen, but the
fame of our groat men is so preelirious that
we don't like the risk
It is perhaps unnecessary to say, as all bi
ographers do of distinguished personages
that "the subject of this sketch" waa born at
an 'early age, of poor but respectable parents
Many amusing 'areedotes are related of
the Rev. Joshua Brookes, of 111ancbester,
England, a clergyman of irritable temper.—
Perhaps the following is the best : The
churchyard was surrounded by a low para
pet•wall, with sharp ridged coping, to walk
along which required nice balancing ef the
body, and was one of the favorite feats of
the neighboring boys. Tho practice greatly
annoyed Joshua, and ono day, while read•
ing the burial service at the graveside his
eye caught a chimney sweep walking on the
wall. This caused the eccentric chap.lain,by
abruptly giving an order to the beadle, to
make the following interpolation in the sw
orn!) words of the funeral service : "and
hoard a voice from 'Bouvet' saying—knock
that black rascal off the wall !"
NOT TO DE BEAT.—An exchange says that
a New York and Massachusetts regiment
were encamped together on tl►e Rapidan, and
that a wholesale 'rivalry existed between
them. A revival suddenly broke out in the
'assachusetts regiment, an'i twelve were
baptized. The New York Colonel looked
savage when he heard of it; and feared out,
"Adjutant, have seventeen men detailed for
baptism; I'll ho' hanged if that Massachu
ieitts regiment shall beat us."'
Twenty dollars a week are allowed by the
Goiternmeat to provi le the' table of Jeffer•
son Davis, at Fortress Monroe, with articles
that are not furnished in.the , regular rations
of the garrison. This is the way in which
the prisoner is "starved.''

The Oipe'ear
Excepting the Jews, no people have ever,
shown'euelf tenacity Oftratatt as the -gipeies.-
A Hindon tribe of the Aryan race originally,
perhaps of nomadic and plundering bubits in
1 their provinces on the Indus, and forced out
into Europe and Asia hi the 'early 'dart of
the fifteenth century; they have encamped
or settled in almosfevery country in Europe,
without-scarcely ever changing the pure cur
• their Hindoo blood.

the mountain villages of Norway, or on the
pasztas of Hunga or in rural,England, or
amongthe •'mountains of Spaiii; Wheth

the plateaus of Asia, in Egypt, Persia, or In

a similar physique, with- the human language,
or dialect different, and with the ineradica
ble habits of the plundering nomad in him
Sometimes enslaved, always scorned, the vic
tim of legislation for more than three - hun
dred years, driven from country to country,
incessantly urged by the influences of civili
zation and by the ministers of religion—yet
always, in all countries, the same—a vagrant,
a jockey, a cheat, and a heathen and etrao•
ger to each people and country. The civili
zation, the science and the Christianity of
modern times have done almost nothing for
him.
A few exceptions to this general charac
ter of the race are' found in Russia, where
individual Gipsies have become wealthy; but
in moat countries they seldom engage in any
mechanics or agriculture. The only mechan
ical branch in which they are ever proficient
is the smith's; and in Persia they have be
come celebrated as workers in gold and sil
ver. While other races become absorbed - in
the powerful races, or mingle in endless vari
ety with the people io contact with them, or
die out and pass away, this Indian tribe
keeps itself unnaingled and preserves its Batt
age vitality.
Ruch a _tenacity, both of race and barbari
an habits, seems hardly charaSieristic of the
• yan - family,and would remind one more of
the peculiar traits of the Semites. fu many:
countries they have been aupposed 'to be E
gyptians, and their names io English, French,
Spanish and H ungarian points to this belief..
Most other nations have given them a 'lathe'

What is an - old Maid ?
Never be afraid of becoming an old maid,
fair reader. An old maid is far. mote hon=
orable than a heartless wife; and. "single Wes.

not in love, dear girls—beware?" says the
song But we do not' agree with said song
on this question. On the contrary, we hold,
that it is a good thing to fall in love or get
in love, if the loved object be a worthy one
To fall in love with an honorable man is as
proper as it is for an honorable, man to fall
in love with 'a virtuous and aimable woman;
and what could be a more gratifying slime
