NO DORG TO LOVE,
No dorg to love, none to karess,
How can I ever my sadness express?
Chunk is defunct, dead as a nale,
Hushed is his barkin' and still is his-tale
Oh, such a tale, white on the end,
Opht did he chase it with a wiggle and bend;
Chase it with hope, twisting around,
Till, overcome, he reposed on the ground.
Now he's eckstinct, dead as a nale,
Where am his bark and the wag of his tale?
In dreams alone, poor Chunk I see,
Swigging his milk, or else scratching a flea,
'Tie but a dream, waking I weep,
For under 2 feet of ground does he sleep.
Oh, blissful purp, oast full of pin,
Haven't I fed you day after day?
Given you milk, given you bread,
Given you many a pat on the head?
Now you're eckstinct, dead as a nale,
Where am the bark and the wag of your tale'?
dorg to luv, none to karess,
Vainly I strive the sad tears to repress.
Why did ye die ? sadli I moan,
Was it from pizen, or swallin a bone ?
No waggin tale, no beamin eye,
Answers the questin, or give a repli;
Was it a fit—stoppage of breth—
Eatin too much the sad cause of your Beth?
Still not a word, dead as a nale,
Dim is his eye, stilled forever his tale.
AN EXPERIENCE.-115 merits of the
"eight hour" system have lately been
tested in New York and Boston, in a
manner which; if experience is of any
value, most Barely will have its effect
hereafter. The caulkers and ship car
penters of New York, and other me
chanics engaged in building and repair
ing vessels, fascinated with the new
principle, so called, that eight hours per
day are sufficient for a day's work, deter
mined to gain for themselves the privil
ege of working for no greater time, and
at the same rates they had previJusly
received for nine and ten hours per day.
As a result, a ship partially repaired in
New York was sent to Boston to have
the improvements' completed. The
Boston shipwrights and caulkers were
receiving all they had asked but they at
once resolved not to work upon that
ship because she had come from New
York. What was the consequence
In Boston the merchants and shipwrights
united in a common cause, and declared
that unless the vessel sent there for re
pairs was finished as required, they
would stop all work upon any vessels .
which were being repaired in that port.
It was a contest between capital and
labor, not solicited by capital, but forced
upon it. A trial of endurance was en
tered upon, and after ten weeks of idle
ness, the mechanics found they could
stand it no longer. Every one of them
had lost from $240 to $270. It is esti
mated that work to the value of five
millions of dollars was diverted from the
port of New York and sent to other
parts of the country. The whole loss to
the mechanics of New York was, there
fore, six millions of dollars in ten weeks
—an aggregate of over thirty millions of
dollars in a year.
THE EFFECTS OF BAD HANDWRITING :-
It appears-that a gentleman in Michi
gan owned a building which was situat
ep on the lands of the Michigan Central
Railway, and the Company desirin him
to remove it, the superintendent f who
writes a most uncouth hand, sent him a
short letter ordering its removal at
once. The house was not taken away,
however, and three months afterwards
the superintendent met the owner, and
began scolding him for not doing it.
The explanation was soon made; no
body could decipher it; some one had
suggested it might be a free pass, and,
upon that suggestion the owner of the
building- had been riding over the road
for three months, the conductors being
as unable as the rest of the world to de
cipher the note.
No FENCES IN GERSIANY.—The Secre
tary of the Ohio Agricultural Society
has been travelling in Germany. Speak
ing of the country near Dresden, he says :
" Every foot of land not in foreste is
cultivated. There are no fences ; the
field is plowed up to the roadside, and
fruits and flowers are grown by every
roadside that I have traveled ; no one
disturbs them. The cattle, sheep and
swine are kept in the stables, or, if taken
out, are under the charge of a sheperd
or herdsman. Here and there dotted
over the landscape, we saw sheep in
pasture, but have seen no cattle or
swine running about loose. The genus
' loafer ' is unknown here."
or Burton, while travelling on a
steamboat, seated himself and called for
beefsteak. The waiter furnished him
with a small strip of the article. Taking
it upon his fork, and turning it over and
examining it, with one of his peculiar
looks, he coolly remarked : "Yes, that
is it ; bring me some."

" Let me Go."
I clasped her tiny hand in mine
I clasped her beauteous form ;
I vowed to shield her from the wind
And from the worlds cold storm.
She set her beauteous eyes on me
.The tears did wildly flow,
And with her little lips she said,
"Confound you, let me go."
eir New York city is in a muddle
over the liquor business. The last Leg
islature passed a very stringent license
law, appointing a new Board to grant
licenses, etc. The new Board has been
actively at work for some time, has gran
ted licenses to a sufficient extent, so
that the fees the city has received amount
to about one million of dollars, has sup
pressed the Sunday liquor traffic, and
the waiter girl saloon nuisance, and has
apparently gotten matters into a very
good shape. Now, however, Judge
Cardozo, of the Common Pleas Court,
steps in and decides the new license law
to be unconstitutional. Of course, the
case will be carried to the Court of Ap-
peals for final decision, but meanwhile
the old License Board Ropose to reas
semble and grant licenses to all whom
the new Board has refused, and the city
is threatened with an interregnum of
free rum and rowdyism.
eir Lord Shaftesbury recently stated
at a public meeting
. in London, that
from personal observation he had ascer
tained that of the adult male criminals
of that city nearly all had fallen into a
course of crime between the ages of
eight and sixteen years ; and that, if a
young man lived an honest life up to
twenty years of age, there were forty
nine chances in favor and only one
against him as to an honorable life
thereafter.
At a " spiritual circle " the other
evening, a vinegary lady asked : " Is the

answer came, "he is." She asked
"John, are you happy without me ?"
"Very happy." "Where are you, John?"
"In h—l." It is further stated that the
vinegary lady threw a lamp at the medi

sir A quaint letter from Dr. Guillo
tine, the inventor of the guillotine, has
been discovered. It reads thus : "it Ton
cher : The punishment which I have
invented is so gentle—so gentle, that
really it is only the idea of death which
could make it disagreeable. Indeed, if
one were not thinking of death, one
would only experience the sensation of
a Blight and pleasant coolness on the
neck. et voilla tout 1"
ar At a railway station an old lady
eaid to a very pompous looking man who
was talking about steam communication,
"Pray, sir, what is steam ?" " Steam
ma'am, is—ab ! steam is—steam is

tell ye," said a rough looking, fellow
standing by ; " but steam is a bucket of
water in a tremenduous perspiration."
Gir A poet in a Nebraska paper ends
a long poem thus
"Well, such is life. Whom the gods

Die young. Whom they hate, live and

An old minister enforced tfie necessi
ty of difference of opinion by argument
"Now, if everybody had been of my
opinion, they would all have wanted my
old woman." One of the deacons, who
sat just behind hid, responded : "Yes,
and if everybody was of my opinion, no
body would have her."
An old lady who had 'Halsted on her
minister's praying for rain, had her cab
bages cut up by a hailstorm, and on
viewing the wreck, remarked, that she
"never knew him to undertake anything
without overdoing the matter."
"So you are going to keep house ?"
inquired an inquisitive maiden of a bride.
"Yes," said she. "Going to have a girl
I suppose," "I really don't know,"
was the blushing reply, "whether it will
be a boy or a girl."

MADDED'S STEVENS.—We reprint from
the Globe the speech of the Hop. Thad
deus Stevens of Pennsylvania, in closing
the debate on the Constitutional Amend
ment, There are many things in the
philosophy of Mr. Stevens with which
we do not agree, and from time to time
we have felt constrained to say so ; but
there is so much in his character that is
grand and brave—a beautiful devOtion
to the truth and the right—that we can
not fail to honor him. Thaddeus Stev
ens is an old man. He was in public
life before many of the most noted of
our soldiers and statesmen had left
school. In the course of years he must
soon pass from us. To him has fallen
the felicity of seeing the labors of a life
devoted to freedom crowned with the
success of freedom. There is something
sad in the old man's lament over what
might have been. We have full sympa
thy with the feeling without sharing the
sadness. He has done his work well.
Thera are brave men in the party of
freedom who will follow this cause to a
triumph whether near or far, determined
that the Republic shall be a nation of
freedom and equality, with all rights for
all. "Ifit be not now, yet it will come ;
the readiness is all." Long may it be
before Mr. Stevens lays down the mantle
of leadership? He may not see the day
for which his soul yearns, -but the day
will come.—N. Y. Tribune.
DEATH OF LEWIS CAss.—Gen. Lewis
Case died on Sunday, June 17, at his
residence in Detroit. He was within
four months of 84 years of age, having
been born at Exeter, N. H., Oct. 9,1782.
Without much education he left Exeter
at the age of 17, travelled to Ohio, and
read law in Marietta. At 25 he was a
member of the Ohio legislature. In
1807, President Jefferson appointed him
Marshal of Ohio, and in 1811, he enter
ed the army to fight the Indians of the
Northwest. In the war of 1812, he com
manded the 3d regiment of Ohio Volun
teers. He was subsequently Governor
of the Territory of Michig`Sn. In 1831,
he was Secretary of War in Gen. Jack
son's Cabinet ; in 1836, Minister to
Prance ; in 1845, elected a Senator in
Congress ; in 1848, the Democratic can
didate for the presidency, bat defeated
by Taylor and Van Buren; and in 1849
re-elected to the Senate. When Bu
chanan became President, he was ap
pointed Secretary of State ; but resign
ed because Buchanan, in 1860, would not
act as Cass desired bim to act against
the rebels in the Cabinet and in Con
gress. Lie died of softening of the
brain. He was one of the wealthiest
men in the West.
LINCOLN'S GRAVE.-A letter 'from
Springfield, 111., in describing the grave
of the late President says : " The vases
and smoothed stones of the tomb are al
ready written over in pencil with the
autographs of pilgrims who visited hie
shiine with a view to renew their devo
tions to country and liberty; and the
remarks which each one adds are ex
pressions of the most tender affection
and confidence, such as I fought three
years under his command, and would
fight three more for the same cause un
der the same commander.' 'We all
loved him." He was beloved by all his
soldiers,' and many others of similar im
port."
Since the burial of Mr. Lincoln with
in the precincts of " Oak Ridge," it has
indeed become a "Mecca," whither
pilgrims repair to, renew their rows to
their country, to humanity, and to God.
Already the visitor's books at the Cura
tor's contain the names of 24,000 devo
tees from all parts of the world, while
the sexton is confident that the number
does not represent a-tithe of those who
have been drawn thither out of respect
for the memory of the deceased.—Quincy

DEPEND ON YOURSELF.--M'Ost young
men consider it a misfortune to be born
poor, or not to luive capital enough to
establish themselves at their outset in
life in a good and comfortable business.
This is a mistaken notion. Bo far from
poverty being a misfortune to them, .if
we may judge from what We—every day
behold, it is really a blessing; the
chance is more than ten to one . against
him who starts with a fortune.

Intemperance.
There is not another people on earth
more jealous of their rights and privil
eges than the people of the United
States ; they have upon many occasions
amply demonstrated the truth of this
assertion. The war of the Revolution
which " tried men's souls," the war of
1812, the Mexican war, and the Rebel
lion just ended, which cost us the lives
of 3QOpO of our brave eons. All these
assure us that our rights shall not be
invaded with impunity. If it was known
that a foreign army, ready to attack us
had landed upon our shores, what a rush
there would be to capture or destroy
the invading foe. But oh I can it be
possible that this people, so deadly op
posed to tyranny—usurpation—and cru
elty, have at this time—and have had
for many years back—a monster in their
midst more tyrannical, more deadly and
destructive 'to their interests, than all
the armies that have ever risen up
against them ? Yes, it is so. Intem
perance is still slaying its thousands and
tens of thousands ; not only is this Hy
dra beaded monster suffered to exist
amongst us, but is encouraged, even
supported by its numerous votaries.
Oh, what infatuation—oh, what gross
inconsistency. Think of the agony of
the wife doomed to drag out a miserable
existence with a drunken husband; and
when she looks back upon her youthful
and happy days, and contrast them with
the present, ah ! then her beast bleeds
afresh—think of her poor half starved
children, now mourning over their hap
less lot—think of the many broken heart
ed parents mourning over the ruin of
eons that they at one time fondly hoped
would be a solace to them in their de
clining years, think of the Almshouses,
hospital; Penitentiaries filled with the
victims of Intemperance, think of these
things, and then ask the question what
am I doing to remove this evil ? Come,
young men, enlist in the good cause of
Temperance. Tell that young man who
still drinks of the intoxicating cup to
dash it from his lips—there is death in
it—tell moderate drinkers that drunk
ards do and can only come from their
ranks. Tell Rumsellers that God" will
hold them responsible for the wretched
ness and premature deaths their iniqui
tous business have entailed upon society.
Let us labor while the day lasts, for
the night is coming, when no man can
work. And we may yet live to see the
flag of total abstinence from all intoxi

breeze, encircling under its ample folds
thousands and tens of thousands saved
from a drunkard's' life—a drunkard 's
death and a drunkard's grave.
eir A Mr. Potter, of Tionesta, Ve
nango county, Pa., made a wager of five
thousand dollars, a few days since, that
he would drive hie pair of h,orses on a
country road, to be selected by him, one
hundred miles in nine and a quarter
hours. The event came off, and Mr.
Potter drove 103 miles and 17 rods in
9 hours, 11 minutes, and 13 seconds,
stopping once to feed and twice to wat
er, the actual time of travelling being
eight and a half hours, being the best
time on record. The animals are a
beautiful pair of large bay mares, and
they came in apparently quite fresh, un
der a strong pull. Mr. Potter after
wards refused ten thousand dollars for
his team.
