"SOME DAY."
" Some Day" is the burden of many a song
that was never done in rhyme. Florence Percy
has thus given one of them:
You smooth the tangles from my hair
With gentle touch and tender care,
And count the years ere you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear mfe say,
"You'll think of this again some day
Some day."
I do not scorn the power of Time,
Nor count on years of fadeless prime)
But no white gleams will ever shine
" Among these heavy locks of mine;
Ay, laugh as gaily as you may,
You'll think of this again some day
Some day.
Some day I shall not feel as now,
Your soft hands move about my brow;
I shall not slight your light commands,
And draw the long braids through my hands;
I shall be Silent, and obey,
And you you Will not laugh that day
Some dayl
I know iow long your loving hands
Will linger with these glossy bands,
When you shall weave my latest crown
: Of these thick braidings, long and brownj
But you will see no touch of gray
Adown their shining length that day -Some
day!
And while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lips which answered not,
You'll take from these one treasured tress,
And leave the rest to silentness;
Remembering that I used to say,
"You'll think of this again some day
"Some Day!"

"What a nonsensical shallow rated
concern that James Atkinson is! I de
clare,, if I were Lucy Bowers he should
not walk in the street with me. How
fantastically he lifts his hat; he just
does it to show his kids, which by the
way, make his hand look like stuffed
bags. He cannot meet any one, when
he is with Lucy Bowers, without saying,
Ah, Miss Lucy what distingue air Mr.
So-and-so has; and what a degree of hau
teur Miss. L. posesses. You see, he only
does this to make Lucy believe that he
knows how to speak French, and I'll
wager he does not know the meaning
of the words he uses; I believe his
whole thought is upon dress, and I
know he practices his gestures a whole
day before the glass. There they come
now only see the manoeuvres! If I
were Lucy, I would push him off the
sidewalk. I see him casting his glances
up this way he only wants to see if
any one is looking at him, if he only
knew what a perfect eyesore he is to me,
he would certainly not pass here so often.
I do declare I would not have him if he
were the last man in the world no, not
if I felt assured I would die an old maid.
It is no manner of use for a young
lady to .sacrifice herself for the sake of
getting married, as for my part, I go in
tor handsome, sensible gentlemen.
"Why, Gertrude, you astonish me.
Why do you speak thus of Mr. Atkinson?
I am sure he is not so shallow-pated as
you said just now, for he graduated with
the Highest honor; 1 do not think it
very likely that he would have attained
the Valedictory if he were a numskull.
I would be willing to stake anything
there is not a young lady in the city
(myself not excepted) who would refuse
the offer of such a gentleman as Mr.
Atkinson."
"Oh, that is just the way with you,
Kate; if a boy has been to college, it
matters not it he stays but a single day.
you think he must of necessity be a Plato
or a aoerates.
"No, Gertrude, you are mistaken. I
know too much about Mr. Atkinson to
sanction the eulogiums which you passed
upon him just now.
Gertrude and Kate Manning were sis
ters; there was all the difference in the
world between them.' Gertrude was
certainly one of the most envious ' per
sons in the world, it any 01 her associ
ates (even her most intimate friends)
should eclipse her in any way, she
would directly say something against
them. Envy was her most predominant
trait it seemed to take possession of
her completely. She had very fre
quently heard of the attentions of Mr.
Atkinsoti to Lucy Bowers, and always
felt a' jealousy arising whenever she saw
them. Atkinson was a young gentle
men of fine talents, and withal very ac
complished; his manners were exceed
ingly refined and winning. Gertrude
knew all this, and being among that
number of young ladies who have no
admirers, never, liked to sec any one
have them.
Kate was quite the contrary; she al
ways treated every one kindly; and was
not at all disposed to be jealous. Every
one could love her, for she was so
gentle and good. Why, often she would
speak to oil sister about the manqer jn
which she expressed herself with regard
to people, and assured her that it would
never gain heT any friends; but Gertrude
never listened to a word she had to say
on any such occasion, but would en
deavor to bring something to justify her
remarks, Kate felt that all her advice
was useless that a deaf ear was turned
to all she said.

"There has been quite a change in
the state of affairs," said Mr. Manning,
as he sat at tea.
"What do you mean, papa?" said Ger
trude. "What do I mean? Why, I mean
that Miss Lucy Bowers is to be married
next week."
"I thought so," replied Gertrude. "I
knew that she and that dummy J ames
Atkinson would make it up. Well, all
I have to say, she will get a man with
out any brains."
"You are mistaken Getty; she is not
going to marry Mr. Atkinson."
"Well I thought after all, that Lucy
POMEROY, MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO, TUESDAY, AUGUST 28,
would see the folly of marrying that
booby."
"That booby, indeed! James Atkin
son is no booby; I tell you he is a Very
accomplished and sensible gentleman.
Have you ever been in his company; .
"Never."
"Well, some evening I will invite him
up,
At thia remark, Getty's eyes bright
ened up a little, for she had never had a
beau in her life, nor is it very probable
she would ever meet with the luck to
have an admirer, for no one could ad
mire her, but she might manage to in
duce some one to think that he loved
her.
"Papa, do tell me who the gentleman
is to whom Lucy is to be married.
"Mr. Frank Jennings."
"Frank Jennings! he is a charming
young gentleman 1 admire her taste
very much; a great goose she would be
to marry that Atkinson. I am thinking
he will have to wait some time before he
is married, for no one would have him
anyhow."
"Ah, Getty, I would not trust the
girls. I will go so far as to . say that I
would not trust even you.
"Even me! I had as lief be an old
maid as to marry him; indeed, I would
prefer it a thousand times,"- .
"Well, Gertrude, Mr. Atkinson will
call up this evening, and as your sister
is out oi town, the whole 01 the enter
tainment will fall pretty much upon
yourself.
"Oh, papa! what did you invite that
bore up here for? I declare I do not
want to see him."
"Never mind; you must entertain him
to the best of your ability, as I have in
vited him to see vou."
Evening came. Mr. Atkinson called
at the residence of Manning. He was
introduced to Miss Gertrude, with whom
he was left. Mr. Manning stated that
he had some little business which would
detain him in the library, but would
join them in a little while.
. Gertrude did her best; all the smiles
she could muster up were put on that
evening.' She, of course, wished to make
a deep impression upon the gentleman
in question. '
"Well, well, what is the world coming
to? That old maid, Gertrude Manning,
is going to be married to James Atkin
son. . 1 wonder what he sees in her to
admire. I am sure she is not pretty by
any means. She is certainly very wise
to get married now, for I am sure if she
misses this opportunity she will never
get another."
buch was the language of the gossip
ing world, when the news of the intended
marriage was spread. Many knew how
bitter she was against Mr. Atkinson, and
wondered what had changed her notion.
"Well, what do you think, Kate?"
said Mr. Manning to his daughter on her
return home.
"Now hush, papa," exclahned Ger
trude.
"Really, you surprise me, papa; I can
not tell. Gertrude has certainly not
made any attempt at a runaway match
since I've been gone."
"Oh, no, no, she is to take the leap in
the dark, or in the light, just as you are
pleased to term it."
"Indeed! Pray tell me who is the one
to assist her?"
"None other than James Atkinson."
"James Atkinson? Impossible!"
"It is true. Nothing is impossible
now-a-days."
"Well, well, Gertrude," said Kate
laughingly; "what are you going to
marry that shallow-pated, nonsensical
numskull torr lou certainly have
changed your mind Very much."
"Oh, she was only waiting for an of
fer," said Mr. Manning. "There, did I
not tell you that I would not trust her,
Kate? Do you not remember very well."
And so it was sure enough. Gertrude,
like a great many other young ladies,
was only waiting for an offer. Very
readily did she accept the proposal of
Dir. Atkinson her eye-sore, as she was
once pleased to call him and she no
longer thought him a booby or dummy,
particularly after she foud out the num
ber of dimes he had in his possession.
Nothing now could excite her ire more
than for Kate to call him, in a jesting
way, a shallow-headed concern, although
Gertrude once thought that Lucy Bow
ers had a very perverted taste to receive
the attentions of such a piece of human
ity, and wondered where her eves fif she
had any at all) could be to fancy James
Atkinson. All she wanted was a chance,
and she was only waiting for an offer.
Integrity.
One of the most excellent dualities of
mind is integrity. Let us aim to culti
vate this trait of character, and we add
much to our worth in whatever de
partment of life's varied scene we may
chance to mingle. A man cannot long
prosper, or, what is of more importance,
secure the respect or love of his fellows
without integrity. It is the base of
credit the security to which the world
will look in its dealing with individuals,
and open the account accordingly. A
thousand devices are needed by the art
ful man to cloak -his designs, or hide his
failures, of which the honest, upright
man knows nothing. It is on the prin
ciple that a number of falsehoods are
necessary t5 p k B;nge untruth, that
it may not fall. The man of integrity
stands right up in the proud conscious
ness 01 his own moral worth, he needs
not the darts of malice the breath of
slander cannot harm him, his word has
the efficiency of a bond. An exchange
says in regard to this subject:
"Reproaches have no power to afflict
the man of unblemished integrity or the
abandoned profligate, It is the middle
compound character which is alone miser
able, often the man who has not firm
ness enough to avoid a dishonorable
action, has feeling enough to be ashamed
of it."
terrible tragedy is reported
from Council Grove, Kansas. A man
named Josiah Taylor, alias "Cye Smith,"
who had been married only about a
month, and lived unhappily with his
wife, shot her with a pistol, but not fa
tally. He then escaped, but was pur
sued, and when his pursuers were about
capturing him, he shot himself through
the head, dying instantly.
A LETTER FROM THE FRENCH EM
PEROR. The French Emperor has written the
following letter to his Minister in Eng
land,, It is intended as a reply to what
was called Lord Palmerston's war speech,
developing a plan of fortification and de
fence against invasion, recently delivered
in the British Parliament: .
St. Clood, July 26, I860. '
"My Dear Perstgny Affairs appear to
me to be so complicated thanks to the
mistrust excited everywhere since the
war in Italy that I write to you in the
hope that a conversation in perfect
frankness, with Lord Palmerston, will
remedy the existing evil. Lord Pal
merston knows me, and when I affirm a
thing he will believe me. Well, you can
tell him for me, in the most explicit
manner, that since the peace of Vflla
franca I have had but one thought, one
object to inaugurate a new era of peace,
and to live on the best terms with all my
neighbors, and especially with England.
I had renounced Savoy and Nice; the
extraordinary additions to Piedmont
alone caused me to resume the desire to
see reunited to France provinces essen
tially French. But it will be objected,
xouwish for peace,' and you increase,
immoderatelyr the military forces of
Jb ranee. 1 deny the fact in every sense.
My army and my fleet have in them
nothing of a threatening character. My
steam navy is even far from being ade
quate to our requirements, and the num
ber of steamers does not nearly equal
that of sailing ships deemed necessary in
the time of King Louis Philippe. ' I
have 400,000 men under arms; but de
duct from this amount 60,000 at Rome,
8,000 in China, 20,000 gendarmes, the
sick and the new conscripts, and you
will see what is the truth that my
regiinetitsare of smaller effective strength
than during the preceding reign; The
only addition to the arhiy lists has been
made by the creation of the Imperial
Guard. Moreover, while wishing lor;
peace, I desire to organize the forces of
the country on the best possible footing,
for, if foreigners" have only seen the
bright side of the last war, I myself, close
at hand, have witnessed the defects, and
I wish to remedy them. Having said
thus much, I have, since Villafranca,
neither done, nor even thought, anything
which could alarm any one. When
Lavalette started for Constantinople, the
instructions which I gave him were con
fined to this: 'Use every effort to main
tain the status quo: the interest of France
is that Turkey should live as long as
possible.'
"Now, then, occur the massacres in
Syria, and it is asserted that I am very
glad to find a new occasion of making a
little war, or of playing a new part.
Really, people give me credit for very
little common sense. If I instantly pro
posed an expedition, it was because my
feelings were those of the people which
has put me at its head, and the intelli
gence from Syria transported me with
indignation. My first thought, never
theless, was to come to au understanding
with England. What other interest
than that of humanity could induce me
to send troops into that country? Could
it be that the possession of it would in
crease my strength? Can I conceal from
myself that Algeria notwithstanding its
future advantages, is a source of weak
ness to France, which for thirty years
has devoted to it the purest of its blood
and its gold? I said it in 1852, at Bor
deaux, and my opinion is still the same
I have great conquests to make, but
only in France. Her interior organiza
tion, her moral development, the in
crease of her resources, have still im
mense progress to make. There a field
exists, vast enough for my ambition and
sufficient to satisfy it.
"It was difficult for me to come to an
understanding with England on the sub
ject of Central Italy, because I was
bound by the peace of Villafranca. As
to Southern Italy, I am free from en-
(YQrvamonia on1 T aclr rt Kntor ill i r o
concert with England on this point, as
on others; but, in Heaven s name, let
the eminent men who are placed at the
head of the English government lay
aside petty jealousies and unjust mis
trusts.
"Let us understand one another in
good faith, like honest men as we are,
and not like thieves who desire to cheat
each other.
"To sum up, this is my innermost
thought. I desire that Italy should
obtain peace, no matter how, but with
out foreign intervention, and that my
troops should be able to quit Rome
without compromising the security of
the Pope. I could very much wish not
to be obliged to undertake the Syrian
expedition, and, in any case, not to un
dertake it alone; firstly, because it will
be a great expense, and secondly, be
cause I fear that this intervention may
involve the Eastern question; but, on
the other hand, I do not see how to re
sist public opinion in my country, which
will never understand that we can leave
unpunished not only the massacre of
Christians, but the burning of our con
sulates, the insult to our flag, and the
pillage of the monasteries which were
under our protection.
1 have told you all, I think, without
disguising or omitting anything. Make
what use you may think advisable of
my letter.
Believe in my sincere friendship,

BLUE MOSDAY. 1 i
- Clouds just as gray ad lead. ' I war
rant it will rain it always rains on
Mondays I wish there wasn't any such
day in the calendar. I believe . it was
only invented to punish Eve for eating
that miserable apple ! Now, here are
these trowsers to be mended a good
half-hour's work, and Mr. Sage hurry
ing me the whole time, till I'm so ner
vous I don't know whether 1 have got
a needle or a crowbar. He never finds
out that anything wants doing except
on Monday mornings the very day
I'm hurried and worried to death. He
don't see why Monday is worse than
the rest of the week, he says I wish he
had to stay at home and superintend the
washing for once!
"Starch is all gone mem!" Of course
it is; that's just Irish calculation. Why
couldn't you have told me of it on Sat
urday, Biddy? Now, I wonder what
I'm to do! For mercy's sake what's all
that screaming? Tommy fallen down
stairs and bumped his head? My chil
dren always select Monday mornings to
tumble down stairs in! Where's the
camphor bottle? Who's that knocking
as if he meant to burst the basement
door in? Tell him I'm busy; I'll pay
him to-morrow. He won't wait.. O,
dear me, now there's got to be search
for my port-monnaie. .Does anybody
know where it is? What's that, Tommy?
The last you saw of it, 1 the baby was
trying to swallow it? ' O, here it is un
der the cradle. "What will I plaze to
order for dinner?" Goodness gracious!
I believe I shall go distracted! I don't
care if we never have any dinner.
Beef and greens, I suppose; they're the
least trouble of anything. What does
make the baby so fretful? it seems as if
he knew it was "blue Monday." There
isn't any bread, mem, and the baker
hasn't been here this morning!" I de
clare,! will discharge that man; he's
no business to fail us on Monday morn
ing. What's the trouble, how? Biddy
and Noah have quarrelled about the
soap down stairs, and Biddy says she
won't stay in the house another minute.
Was ever a poor creature so beset with
troubles before? ' Now I've just' got to
lay everything aside, and go down to
play cook myself, while baby swallows
buttons and needles and such things,
and Tommy raises Bedlam generally.-
Perhaps I can keep him quiet for a few
minutes, with a borl of bread and milk.
The cat has knocked the milk-pitcher
oyer? Well, that corresponds with the rest
of the day, charmingly. Raining hard;
I might have prophesied it, and all the
fine clothes out on the lines. Mercy
on us, two o'clock! why, where has the
day slipped to? Mr. Sage will be here
in fifteen minutes, clamoring for his
dinner, and everything is behind-hand!
There, that's just like you, Sage! I
suppose you think it's manly and gener
ous to snarl like a cross dog, because
there's nothing but beef and greens for
diuner. You never did like 'em? Sage,
I don't believe you know what you do
like on Mondays. You wish Mondays
were abolished? So do I, Sage; and I
wish cross husbands were, too! you seem
to suppose I have no trials! There; he's
gone; and I know I've been pettish and
lost my temper but who could help it,
I'd like to know. I'm always half crazy
on Mondays. Poor, dear Sage; I know
he can't eat greens he shall have some
thing hot for supper, if I have to cook it
myself. If there's any one thing that
tries a woman's patieuce more than an
other, it's blue Monday! Life Illustra
ted. Oar Children.
Our children are to fill our places in
society, in Church, and in State, and the
manner in which they will fill them, de
pends upon the manner in which we ed
ucate them. If we train them up in the
Sabbath school, for God and his church,
they will amply repay us for all our
care; but if they are trained up for the
world in the street in the gambling
and tippling saloon in Sabbath break
ing, profanity, licentiousness and intem
perance in idleness in sin, they will
dishonor our names, and repay us by
and by with a vengence!
How fearful our responsibility!
When we consider that our son may
make a talented, useful and happy man,
respected and beloved by all around
him, or he may make a consummate vil
lian, detested by the world as a nui
sance and a curse, and that our daughter
has a corresponding alternative before
her that in the history of both, in all
probability, there is a crisis, or turning
point, when it is uncertain which way
they will predominate, and that we ne
cessarily play an important part in tip
ping the scale, we can feel that it. is a
matter not to be trifled with; and that
every means possible should be resorted
to in order to secure the right drift, and
save those so dear to-us. As we would
have them honorably act their part upon
the stage of this life, so let us seduously
aim to qualify them for it.
Terrific.
An editor of Eatonton, Ga., in setting
forth the claims of Mr. Johnson, one of
the candidates for the Vice-Presidency,
describes his eloquence on a certain oc
casion as follows: - -
"Johnson rushed upon his foes with
the clangor of the trumpet and the flash
of the battle-ax. Like Cceur de Leon
among the scimeters of Saladin, he strode
on, right on, dealing his stalwart blows
right and left, and everything was borne
down by his ponderous arm. Like the
sleeping lion aroused from his lair by
some careless intruder, he sprang upon
his victims, tore their flesh, crushed
their bones, and beat their bodies to a
jelly by hurling them against the earth,
that trembled to the thunder of his in
furiate howls. Like the mad bull in
the arena, he rushed upon those who
pricked him with their spears, gored
into their vitals, tossed them into the
air, and trampled them under his feet."
ustice Biglow of the Supreme
Court, in Boston, has given a decision
adverse to the Mrs. Elizabeth Thorndike
suit to recover possession of her child.
The Judge not only remanded the boy
to the custody of his father, but forbade
the mother having access to him at
present, on the ground that her inter
view with him resulted in bad effects.

' ' ' THE SNICKERERgV
' There are many f who consider them
eslvea well bred, and who go much; in
society, who nevertheless violate the
simplest rules of politeness, by the silly
and degraded habit of snickering. The
word if homely, is expressive. We are
accustomed to connect a sitnle with
things pleasant and graceful; arid a laugh
seems called by something genuinely
amusing. But when one unfortunately
makes a trifling error in conversation, or
if some part of the dress is a little disar
ranged; then ' these highly civilized
young ladies, or gentlemen, look at each
other and snicker.
"Is it possible," we have asked our
selves, "that ''Miss A. or Miss E., can
have been decently connected, or respect
ably brought up?" Like mother, like
child, what can have been the home in
fluence exerted upon them?
Whenever we see this tendency to
vulgarity, we correct it as far as we can.
Keep a steady eye upon the snickerers;
look disapproval, and the effect will be
instantaneous though the lips may be
silent.
One night being present at a large
party, we noticed a lady, who on enter
ing attracted the attention of several
would-be-ladies, who began to cast ex
pressive looks and then to snicker.
Some glanced down and then puckered
their mouths as though it required the
greatest effort to keep from laughter.
Others cast sly glances at the- object of
their merriment and in the pantomime
expressed their rudeness. . We had
previously noticed one sweet girl, arrayed
simply and beautifully, who as she saw
the impolite manner of her friends,
looked over to the lady, and then cast
ing a severe glance upon them, she arose
and came to the object of their fun, ..
"Pardon me, madam," said she, po
litely. "There is a bit of straw hang
ing to your cape I will remove it."
The lady, a pleasing, middle-aged wo
man, who could not but have, seen the
motions of the thoughtless group,
blushed deeply, as she returned a "thank
you," adding, "I fear I have looked
somewhat ridiculous,"
"Not at all, madam," replied the
graceful girl, "none but thoso who are
deficient in politeness would consider an
accident ridiculous."
The "persons," as the 'Englisli ex
pressively say of those who do ' not
know how to behave, looked from each
other with rosy faces at thi3 merited re
buke, self-condemned and publicly re
buked. It served them right, and we
wished that every snickerer might be
treated in the same way. It would soon
thin out the ranks of the self-conceited
and presuming perhaps make ladies
and gentlemen of them, ultimately.
A Modern. Politician.
Dennis, alias Michael Brown, was
found, so says the Boston Herald, a few
evenings since, in the streets of that
city, addressing an imaginary audience,
concerning the preat principles now agi
tating the country. Mr. Brown, after
coqueting with a bottle of whiskey, is
usually taken that way, and it was
judged by the police that Mr. Brown
would be benefitted by complaining of
him as a common drunkard, and sending
him to the place where whiskey , is un
known, except on special occasions. . ,
"May it please the court," said Mr.
Brown, squaring his shoulders, as though
about to hold forth to one of his imagi
nary audiences, "would it make any dif
ference regarding my case, if the court
were informed of my politics?
The court looked at Mr. Brown in as
tonishment. .'
"Hurrah.: for the Little Giant!"
shouted Mr, Brown with a keen look at
the court to notice the effect of the an
nouncement. -
"Two months in the house of indus
try," the court said mildly.
Mr. Brown thought he was on the
wrong track. He changed instantly.
"Hurrah for Lincoln and Hamlin,"
he shouted, as loud as ever.
"Two months," repeated the court,
not moved the slightest by the cheer. .
"Sold again,", muttered Mr. Brown.
"Only one more chance,", and then he
shouted:" "Hurrah for Bell and Everett,
and d if I try again if we never have
a President."
'Take him away," said the court,
"and stop his noise."
"This is a mean . one-horse town,"
muttered Mr. Brown. "One such a yell
as I gave would have set me free in
New York, and the honor of drinking
brandy with a half a dozen of the alder
men. This is not the city for a man of
genius.
Charmed by a Snake.
The Rochester fitbtrelates the case
of a child, two years of age, daughter of
Mr. Davis, in that city, charmed by a
snake. - One day Mrs. Davis found the
snake in the arms of the little girl, who
was fondling it as she would a kitten.
The mother was naturally much alarmed
by the apparent peril in which she saw
her child, and seized a stick to destroy
the reptile. The snake slowly retreated, '
showed its tougue, and hissed at the
mother. The child cried, and begged
so hard of its parent to desist, that she
allowed the snake to retreat to its hiding
place. The child evidently thinks of
nothing else but her companion, the
snake, and under the fascination is suffer
ing a physical decline. She now weighs
but 17 pounds. Physicians have ad- j
vised that the meetings, which take place
as frequently aS the child can get out of
the house be gradually interrupted, un
til entirely broken off.
g,The latest Paris papers are filled
with deplorable accounts of all kinds of
suicide in different parts of France. In
Lyons, a young man of twenty-two years
of age ascended the steeple of a chureh
and threw himself into the street.
Other different neans are constantly re
sorted to, to make an unhappy end to a
more unhappy existence. Women, by
the dozen, have lately made an untimely
end to their lives; and razors, fire-amis,
and even charcoal, are again in a great
demand by that class of French malcon
tents. JBFThe family should be composed
of individuals who dwell together be
cause of lovfc. None should ie consid
ered out of the family because they are

Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud comes over us with a beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass away,
leaving us to muse on faded loveliness?
Why is it that the stars that hold their
nightly throne are placed above the
reach of our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapproachable
glory? And why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty presented to otlf
views are then taken from us, leaving
the thousand streams of affection to flow
back in almighty torrents upon the hu
man? . We are born of a larger destiny
than that of earth. There is a land
wheie the stars will be set out before us
like islands that slumber in the ocean,
and where the beautiful beings that pass
before us like a meteor will stay in our
presence forever.
