As an angel dream passed o'er him.
He earred the dream on that shapeless stone,
With many a sharp incision;

Soft the evening shadows fall;

Darkness stealeth over all.
Ooodnight!
Autumn garners in her stores
Hastens on the fading year;
Leaves are dying,
Winds are sighing.
Whispering of the winter near.

On Thursday eveninir of last week
the home of the Secretary of the Trea

nfreathed upon that brilliant bridal honr.
But the jewels and the Bowers, ine
diamonds and the laces, which turned
the night to fragrant day on that fair
festival, rose and fell to the pulses of
women's hearts. The scene itself wore
but an emntv oasoant or worse, save for
the sanctity which the soul of woman
hood sbedi Over the wedding least and
the wedding garments. And wherever
in all the land a woman's eyes are rest
ing with natural and commendable de
light upon the fascinating details or cos
tumes incomprehensible to the mascu

and embroideries delicate as the frolic
frost work on the foaest trees of winter,
we ask that woman's he.art and soul to
tarn with us for a moment to another
scene which marked that night of Thurs
day in another city of the great Repub
lic. In a hall in the Bowery of New
York there are gathered together hun
dreds of girls. It is no bridal festival
which they are celebrating. Hunger" is
in their eyes ; their hands are worn and
bard with ceaseless labor; their checks
are wan with care and disappointment
and despair. No music flatters this
this sad and eager throng into delicious
dreams; no flowers wreathe for tbem
the gamit realities of daily life, with whis
pers of love, and hope, and happiness to
come. To tbem the "cap has been dealt
in Quite another measure." To them
life means simply living; the fierce, re-
lentless, unremitting effort to clutch with
those thin, frail, fingers, the scanty bread
of every day from the world that whirls
about and above them, noisy, clamor
ous, heedless of them and theirs. ' These
are no daughters of the Treasury, no
brides of the Senate. These are the
daughters of the people ; the patient,
sad eyed daughters of labor and of suf
fering. Like the proudest and fairest
in the land, they, too, lead their woman
ly life in seclusion from the public eye.
Year after year they work on oncom
plaining, unheard of, asking only to be
suffered to keep body and soul together
in such wise that the body's life may not
be purchased by the soul's death. Con
tent 16 know as little of diamonds as of
the stars, of laces as of the clouds, i
they can hut save an aged mother, a help
less father, an orphaned household of
brothers and sisters from the wolf that
prowls forever about the door.

the sumptuous privacy of home for a

American affairs. We fear that .in the

fear the poor will find little commissera
tion for their sufferings in the madness
of the times. Sympathy for soldiers is
greater than for their families. Milita

fail to touch. We fear that unless neav-

Taking; the Clock to Pieces.
Arte'muB Ward related that once,
when hard pressed for somethingto eat,
and without a cent in his pocket, he
stopped at a farm -house, ond pretend
ing to understand clock mending, took
the farmer's clock to pieces, ate his din
nsr, and then, not knowing bow to put
it together again, complained of dizzi
ness, took a waw into the open air, and
forgot to return. In continuation of
his narrative he says: "Those politicians
who went to work to lake the Union
clock to pieces to get their dinners, nev
er meant to put it together again. They
have stolen tueir dinner but they will
not restore the clock."
How. true this is. The miserable
bunglers have taken the Union clock to
pieces and now, if tbey would, conjd
not put it together again in as good
running order as they found it. But
they do not even wish to do it they
make no effort. They were in a hurry
to work the mischief they are in none
to try to repair it. It was easy work to
takeout tne pins and screws and separ
ate the parts. Two years ago, sayB the
Buffalo Courier, the politicians North
and South had a jubilant time together
at the old clock. They could not do
their infernal work quick enough.
"Without a little blood-letting," said
Zack Chandler, of Michigan. "This
Union will not, in my estimation, be
worth a curse." "Let the Union slide,"
said others of the black-hearted gang.
And those wlio foresaw the consequences
of their parricidal efforts, were "weak,
womanly Union-savers," of whom Mas
sachusetts Wilson said scoffingly, "This
sitting up with the Union does not pay
expenses." And so, piece by piece,
wheel by wheel, they took the Union
clock to pieces. The Southern rebels
who took part in the operation have
made nothing by it, but the Northern
disunionists, including office-holders of
all grades, civil and military, contract
ors, &c, are now "diniiig" gluttonously
at the nation's expense. And the coun
try has the broken, disjointed "clock"
upon its hands, which the radical quacks
in clock-mending never meant, and nev
er mean to put together again. And,
strange as it may seem, the only "loyal"
and "unconditional Union" men now in
the country are bogus clock-menders.

Woman has now been tested. The

disappointment of a milliner. It has

Grain Produce at Chicago.
The receipts of floor aod grain at
Chicago during the past two months
have been enormous amounting to 6,
987,491 boshels wheat showing an in
crease over the receipts during the same
time last year of 1,097,428 boshels. The
receipts of corn show a large decrease,
the entire receipts for September and
October being only 3,917,613 bushels,
against 7,630,042 ' bushels last year
This decrease is the result of the early
frost, but does not fairly, represent the
extent of -damage, we think; as the
growers have held :' back their supplies
for higher ' prioes, which is usually the
case In times or excitement in the mar
ket, when prices rapidly advance.
There are no shipments of grain from
New York to Europe on war orders, be
cause prices are lower on the other side
of the Atlantic than they-are here.
' Printing Paper.
The price of printing paper has again
advanced. ' Newspapers are now paying
over one hundred and fifty per' cent,
more for paper than formerly. If this
advance continues, (and we see no pros
pect of anything else,) itwill be absolute
ly necessary to raise the price of sub
scription.' No articles have increased
more in prioe than those used by news
papers, and readers must expect to pay
at least enough to prevent absolute loss

Death or John Kando'pU
John Randolph, of Roanoke, was near
his end. Dr. was sitting by the
table, and his man John sitting by the
bed, in perfect silence, when he closed
his eyes, and for a few momenta seemed,
by his hard breathing, to be asleep. But,
as the sequel proved, it was the intense
working of bis mind. Opening his keen
eyes upon the doctor, he said, sharply,
"remorse," soon afterward more em
phatically, "bemobsb," presently, at the
top of his strength, he cciid out, "RE
MORSE !" He then added, "Let me
see the word." The doctor, not com
prehending his desire, made no reply.
.Randolph then said to him with great
energy, "Let me see the word; show it
me in a dictionary. " The doctor looked
aroond and told him he believed there
was none in the room. "Write it, then,"
said Randolph. The doctor perceiving
one of Randolph's engraved cards lying
on the table, wrote the word in pencil
under the printed name, and handed it
to Randolph. He seizod it, aod hold
ing it np to his eyes with g'reat earnest
ness, seemed much agitated. After a few
seconds, he handed back the .card, say
ing, "Write it on the other side." .
The doctor did so, in large letters.
He took it again, and after gazing npon
it a few seconds, rotuwed it, and said,
"Lend John your pencil, and let him pat
a stroke nnder it." John took the pen
cil and did so, leaving it on the table.
"Ah!" said the dying mai, "Bemorse,
