My Old Woman ftp# I. BY J. BHOUOirASf. We have crossed the bridge o’er the middle of life, My old woihfin and I, Taking our share in the calm and the strife* With the travelers passing by; And though on our pathway the shadows arc rife, There’s a light in the western sky. ■ Borne losses and crosses of course, we've had, My old woman and I; But, bless you! we never found time to be sadp And a very good reason why; We were busy a 9 bees, and wern’t so mad As to s top in our work to cry. On our changeable road as wo journeyed along, My old woman and I, The kindly companions we met in the throng Made our Jives like a vision fly; And therefore the few that imagined us wrong Scarcely cost us a single sigh. The weak and the weary we’ve striven to cheer, My old woman and I; For we each of us thought that our duty while here Was to do as we’d Jbe done by. In the hope to exhibit a balance clear When the reckoning day is nigh.

Only two ftitle darlings Welcome me home at night; Only two little prntlers With faces sweet and bright. They are very tiny creatures In this big world of ours, But the chirp of their merry prattle Gladdens the evening hours. So many wondrous stories To pour in papa’s ea r, So many wants to care for, Such boundless faith to cheer. Confiding joy of childhoofL With hopes so pure and onght:; This is the happy greeting Welcome? me home at night.

A Wicked Fraud.

I’EUPETBATKU ON MARK TWAIN. It is seldom pleasant to tell on one's self, but sometimes it is a sort of relief to a man to tnake-& sad coniession. I wish to unburden my mind, now, and yet 1 almost believe that I am moved to do it more beeause I long to bring censure upon another man, than because I desire to pour balm upon my wounded heart. (I don't know what balm is, but I believe it is the correct expression to use in this connection—never having secu any balm.) You may remember that { lectured in Newark lately for the- young gentlemen of the Clayonian Society ? I did, at any rate. During the afternoon of that day, I was talking with one of the young gentlemen just referred to, And lie said he had au uncle who, from some cause or other, seemed so have grown permanently bereft of all emotion. And with tears in his eyes this young man said—“Ob, if I could only see him laugh once more! Oh, if 1 could only seo him weep!” I was touched! I never could withstand distress. 1 said—- “ Bring him to my ieeture. I’ll start him tor you.” “Oh, if you could but do it! If you could but do it, all our family would bless you forevermore —for he is very dpar to us. Oh, my benefactor, can you make him laugh? Can you bring soothing tears to those parched orbs?” 1 was profoundly moved. I said: “My son, bring the old party around. I have, got some jokes in that lecture that will make him laugh if there is any laugh m him—and if they miss firo, I have some others that’ll make him cry or kill him, one or the other,’’

Then the young man blessed me, and wept on my neck, and blew bis uoso on my coat tail, and went after his uncle. lie placed him in full view, in the second row of benches, that night, and I began on him. I tried him with mild jokes; then with severe ones; I dosed him with bad jokes, andriddled him with good ones; I fired pjd jokes into him, and peppered him fore-and-aft with redhot new ones; I wanned up to my work, and assaulted him on the right and on the left, in front and behind; I fumed and sweated, and charged and routed, till I was hoarse and sick, and frantic and furious—but I never moved him once—l never started a smile or a tear! Never a ghost of a smile, and never a suspicion of moisture! ,1 was astounded. 1 closed the lecture at last with one dispairing shriek—-with one wild burst of humor—-and hurled a joke of supernatural atrocity full at himI never phased him. Then I sat down bewildered and exhausted. The president of tlio society oame op and bathed my bead with oold water, and said—- “ What made you carry on so toward the last ?” I said; <‘l was trying to snake that confounded old fool laijgh in the second row/’ „,, v And he qaid; “Well, yovj were wasting f your Mwe—because fie iq deaf andjjumb, B«d as' »| » badger.,” . **7J or

There may be a romance connected with the love of fresh young hearts; their wooing, and their wedding; but to me th,ere is.no affeetion so beautiful as that between an aged man and wife. When I see such a couple, I always think of the faraway days, when for them love was young, and gave pleasant hours of wooing, dreamy days of courtship, and finally crowned their happiness at the altar. Together they have drank of life’s joyß, and with clasped hands have knelt beforo sorrow's shrine. Away back in the days that we know nothing of, memory holds for them saored hours and scenes. Scenes of joy, the nature of the ten-der-birdlings that have found their way into the parent nest, their pride, their joy; perhaps the aged mother is oven now dreaming of 'the day when her daughter baby in her arms, or led by her hand. Or of the brave sons who have one by one gone out into the great world to fight their battles with late, or be

borne unresisting on its tide. Now for them arp all the tender home-ties loosened, and only the vacant places by tho hearthstone, and now and then a letter, or dying visit, are all that remains. Yet, in all these years, has their wedded love grown stronger, aud no memory of joys past is dearer to them than the sad vision of hands clasped over the cold form of their loved dead. White headstones gleam here and there amid the memory of their past joys, and the heart’s tears proclaim how saerpd is our sorrow sanctified by love, We cannot understand all the poetry, all the beauty of a love that has threaded two lives upon one string. We look upon an old couple who have passed their labor, as upon the fruit waiting to be gathered, or the wheat fully ripe, nor dream of the wealth of tender memories and recollections filling their breasts. We call old people children and “broken down,” when they are oaly living and acting upon the spirit of dead and gone days. How their hearts grow tender with age, is only known to God. Give tne, as life’s best boon, a surety of the lasting love of my youth. I ask no more for' my age than the faithful affection of the heart on which toy youth rested. All things else may bo denied" me—wealth, honors, beauty, health —but so I may tread the shadowy wafks to the end ot life, hand in hand with him, I care not where our heads may rest, for I know tlfat n l° vo that can outlast all the cares and trials, and opposing influences of this life, must soften aud purify the soul until it is fit for heaven at the end Companion.

Joining the Masons

Knobs has joined the Masons, and here is his experience: “I must tell you the perils and trials I had to undergo to become a Mason. On the evening in question I presented myself at the door of the Lodge room No. 36,666, sign of the skull and cross-bones. I was com ducted to an ante-room, where five or sixmelanoholy chaps, in sashes and embroidered napkins, were waiting to receive me. On my entrauce they fill got up and turned back somersaplts, and then resumed their seats. A big fat fellow wbo sat in the middle, and who seemed to be the proprietor, then said, ‘Sinner from the other world, advance!’ I advanced. ‘Will yon give up everything to join us ?’ ‘Not if 1 know it,’ 1 said ; ‘there are my wife and fburttea fine— ’ Another party here told me tosny‘yes,’ as it was merely a matter of fbrm. So I said, ‘yes, 1 give up everything.’ “The fellows in the towels then groaned and said: 4 *Tis well. Do you swear never to reveal anything yon sec or hear this evening to any human being, or to your wife?’ I said, *’Pon rny word I will not.’ Then they examined my teeth and felt my tongue, then groaned again. I said, ‘lf you don’t feel well I’ve got a little bottle here.’ The fat man here took the bottle from me and told me to shut up. He then in a voice of thunder, said, ‘bring forth the goat’ Another fellow then comes up with a cloth tg blind me ‘Ng you: don’t, M*, Maspn,’ { said, ‘no tricks on travelers, if you please; I don’t believe in playing blind man’s buff with a goat. I'll ride the devil' if you like, but I don’t go it blind. Stand back or I’ll knock you into smithereens.’ They were too much for me, however, so I had to submit tp being blindfolded. The goat was then led in, and 1' could bear him making an awful racket among the furniture, I began to feel that I was urgently wanted at home, but I was infor’it and could not help mysolf. “Xhree oT four fellows then seized me, aud with a demoniacal laugh, pitched me On the animal’s back, telling me at the same time to look for squalls. I have been in many scrapes, Mr. Editor; I’ve been in election fights; IVefieen pitet) edout or a four-story window; jf have gonp down in a railway collision but this little goat excfrrsyp is ahead Of t^

all. The confounded thing must be all wings aud horns. It bumped me against chairs aud tables, and the ceiling, but 1 hung on like a Trojan. I turned front somersaults and rollod over. I thought it was all over with me. - I was just On the point of giving up, when the bandage fell from my eyes, and •the goat bounded through tho window with a yell like a wild Indian giving up tbg ghosf. I was in a lodge of Masons. They were dancing a war dance around a big skull, and playing leap-frog and turning handsprings, ;tj ( d the big fat fellow' of the ante-rooin was standing on his head in the corner.” ~ y::— 'l'lfO't.' « " Master Shrimps Composition.

The Democratic Vote of the Leg

islature for State Printer. [From the Indianapolis Mirror, (Independent.) ] ■ It seems »little singular that the Legislative Democratic caucus could find no Democrat upon whom to bestow the complimentary vote for State Printer, whoso record is not tainted with treason, and who is not an open and notorioqs copperhead. R. J. Bright, the nominee, has ever been identified with the most bitter of the Bourbon Democracy. He was hand in glove with the Dodd conspirators, the Sons of Liberty, and the Knights of the Golden Circle. During the late war he was enrolled not among the active enemies of oar couutry, but in that more baleful organization, the Vallandigham Democracy. He did not place his precious life in danger of bujlets and cannon balls, because he haß a constitutional antipathy to the smell of gunpowder, but his energies were directed to the discouragement of enlistments and the encouragement of desertion. This was a njode of warfare involving none fatigues of camp iile, ana incurring none of the risks of active campaigning, and therefore eminently fitted for the chivalrous K. G. C’s. Their only fear was the civil courts, and a little vigilancfi and a talent for turning State’s evidence* removed all danger from that quarter. Such id the style of politicians that the Democrats of this Legislature have indicated would bf> their choice for State Printer, had they the power to elect. The people oi this State have On more than one occasion, testified their devotion to the cause of the Union and their hatred of the enemies of our country. They have shown that their patriotism Was snpcfjqi tp party ties, and it is not reasonable to suppose that their views on 'this subject have undergone any material change. The question then resolves itself into this: Are the Democrats of this Legislature going to testify their approval of copperhead and their condemnation of the war, by trying to force upon the party such men qs R. J. Bright? It eertainly looks so now, ahd as soon as it is made manifest that it is so, the people of Indiana will bury the Democratic P*rty so deep that nopeyen its copperhead extremities will be loft above tho wave of popular indignation, to mark the placo where the party went do^Ot » '» * - I —* ---* *--•* u •
