Wind tUc Cloclt. Warden, wind tho clock again: Mighty years are going on, Through the shadow and tho dream, And the happv-hoarted dawn. Wind a gam, wind again Fifty hundred years aro gone. Through the harvest and tho need, Wealthy Juno and dewy May Grew the new year from the old, Grows to-morrow from to-day. Wind again, wind again Who can keep the years at bay? Four and twenty conjurers lie in wait on laud aud sea, Plucking down the startled ship, l?ud-enibroidernig tho treo. Wind again, wind again We have neither ship nor trsc. Four and twenty kings to come Up the never vacant stair, Four and twenty dead go down; Follow, sacred song und prayer. Wind again, wind again - Warden, why delaying there? To his interrupted dream Com .-s tho long entreated day. What are lesser words to him? Sweet pursuing voices say, " k ''Warden, wind, wind again, Up tho ever golden way." Other hands will wind the clod;. While the frequent years go on, Never noting need or name, Nor the rapturo of thc dawn. Wind again, wind again, . Ere the given year be gone. The following racy examination of a candidate for admission to the bar is taken trom the Western Laxo Jour? nal, and is decidedly a good hit : The examination commences with : "Do you smoke, sir ?" "I do, sir." " Have you a spare cigar ?" "Yes, sir," (extending a short six.) " Now, sir, what is the first duty of a lawyer ?" " To collect fees." " Right. What is thc second ?" "To increase thc number of his clients. " " When does your position toward your client chango ?" " When making a bill of cost." "Explain." " We then occupy the antagonistic position ; I assume the plaintiff, and he becomes defendant." " A suit decided, how do you stand with the lawyer conducting the other bill ?" " Cheek by jowl." ' ' Enough, sir ; you promise to be? come an ornament to your profession, and I wish you success. Now, are you aware of the duty you owe me ?" " Perfectly." " Describe it." " It is to invite you to drink." "But, suppose, I decline ?" (Candidate, scratching Hs head.) " There is no instance of the kind on record in books. I cannot answi the question." " You are right ; and the confidence with which you make the assertion shows that you have read the law at? tentively. Let's take a drink, and I will sign your certificate." LOOK On FOR YOTJB CAKPET LS.-The Lafayette Co wier tells a it a "w?lL-known com? isi?n ^_ ___u>t of Cincinnati," _ igh that phtce Christ liglTT^W^fcis way to Chicago, with $26,000 in currency stowed away in a carpet-sack, which he was going t J invest in pork. Before arriving at Lafayette he fell into a doze, und startled by the stopping of a train at the market space, he sprang from his se.it, and, half awake, started forward, and then remembering his carpet-sack aud money, went back but got into the wrong seat, where, by a singular coincidence, was n carpet-sack pre? cisely like his own. He determined to take the sleeping-car, and had ac? tually placed the carpet-sack under his head for safe-keeping, and was off to dreamland, when the owner of the capet-sack came blustering into the car in "search of that ar man who stole my sack." The sequel nit'y be imagined. Our commission mua showed light in de? fence of his property, but finally con? vinced that the carpet-sack contained nothing more than a few pieces of clothing, some fire-crackers for the children, four pounds of tobacco and a package of tea, he became positively frantic. Hatless, coatless and almost pantless, he rushed through the car to the seat he had vacated, where he found his sack and money undis? turbed. The excitement made him sick, and he thought his hair lind turned gray in the agony of suspense. A WESTFKN GHOST STOHY.-The Western papers tell in good faith an incredible ghost story, and bael: it up by the sworn affidavits of several re spectable persons at Grand Traverse, Michigan. A spiritual mediumess at ?that place, whose husband was a stub? born disbeliever in the "manifesta? tions," assured him in her dying breath that she should re-appear to him in her budy at his death to con? vince him of the truth of her belief. Several weeks after he was taken sick, anda "spiritual" rumpus was kept up in the house until his decease, which soon followed. Just before his death, which occurred at midnight, heavy and irregular footsteps were heard in the hall, the door was burst open, and the stenchful remains of a human body, reeking with putre? scence, stalked h:to the room, and in a muffled voice reminded the dying man of the promise, and, as he died, fell a horrid mass upon the floor. An examination of her grave proved it to be empty. The story created intense excitement, and the house where the afluir was said to have occurred was burned by the friends of the family. Ul* IN HIS PAKT.-4'Do you suppose, you can do the landlord ni the Juady of Lyons?" said a manager to a seedy actor in quest of an engagement. "I should, think I might," was the reply, "I have done r. great many landlords." They manage things funnily in California-military funeral, for in? stance. After burying the deceased, the band comes back aud serenades the widow.

THE ONLY RECOGNIZED DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK, DAILY, SEMI-WEEK? LY AND WEEKLY. TO THE: PUBLIC. THE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED , against despotism for four years of i blood and terror, in assertion of the sane- j t it y ol' the Constitution. A patriotism j sufficiently broad to embrace both sections | has been its only guide, and it refers norv with honest pride to its record to show that | it oas not turned to the right or thc left | under all thc violence of arbitrary power, i True to its principles as THE NEWS has been through thc reign of terror, it chai- j longos public confidence in its honesty and | independence for the future. Thc political transition of the present day opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field ot usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, on tho inviolability of thc Con- ; stitntion, according to the interpretation of I the strict constructionists, it presente a ! rallying ground for aU, in both sections, who are friends of a generous conservatism, j As a true and tried exponent of sectional i amity, it occupies a position which makes it the fitting mediator in holding up to the j party of order, in both sections, interests ! and principles that gave breadth and vi tali ty to their alliance. As an intersec- i t ion al agent, devoted to freedom of elec- ; tion. to trial by jury, to the sanctity of the 1 habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for i four years of terror it has been, to tho cen- i tralization that- dares to trample on the rights of States. North or South, THE NEW? places itself as a candidate for sup? port before the great body of this once free pfople. The circumstances of the moment make the dissemination of the principles of THE NEWS a duty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in its doctrino must, if he entertain a true sense of free? dom, do so in no spirit of indifference, but rather with thc earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bound, in his love of liberty, to do so,the proprietor places the canvass he makes here of the public generally in the hands of those men who give him the ap? proval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of THE NEWS cannot avoid the conviction of duty which is here pointed out as the ground of the request, that bc urges its claims for a wider support upon all ot his friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to the causo of "strict construction, interjectional con? ciliation, and all the rights of tho citizens under the system set up by our fathers of liberty regulated by law. The proprietor of THE NEWS calls, therefore, upon good and true Conservatives throughout the country, to discharge, to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the country's fortunes, the duty of giving to the influence of his paper, daily, semi? weekly or weekly, the wider power "for good which it seeks here through the service of its individual supporters.
