When t? my father s home De%th came au uninvite?l guest Fro111DWEUIAS IN THE TON I had not seen his face before - I shuddered at the sight; And I shudder yet to think upon The anguish of that night! A voutbful brow and ruddy cheek Became ?ll cold and wau, An eye grew dim in which tho light Of radiant fancy shone. Cold was the eheek and cold tho brow, The eve %as fixed and dim; And the'rorl moaned a brother dead. Who would have died for him! -I know not if 'twas summer then I know not if 'twas spring; But if the birds sang in the trees, I did not hoar them sing. If flowers came forth to deck the earth, Their bloom I did not see; I looked upon one withered flower, " And none oise bloomed for me! A sad and silent time it was Within the house of woo; All eyes were dim and overcast. And every voice was low. And from each cheek at intervals The blood appeared to start. As if recalled in sudden haste To aid the sinking heart! Softly we trod, as if afraid To mar the sleeper's sleep, And stole last looks of his sad face For memory to keep. With him the agony was o'er, And now the pain was ours, As thoughts of nis sweet childhood rose, Like odor from dead flowers. And when at last he was borne afar From the world's weary strife, How oft in thought did we again Live o'er his little life. His every look, his every word, His very voice's tone, Come back to ns like things whose worth Is only prized when gone! The griof has past with years away. And joy has Deen my lot; But one is long remembered. And the other's soon forgot. The gayest hours trip lightly by, And leave thc faintest trace, But the deep track that sorrow wears, No timo can e'er efface. As the quickest way to make a for? tun?, a c?temporary suggests marry ' ing a fashionable young lady and selling her clothes. For Mayor. JAS. G. GIBBES is respectfully nomi? nated for next Mavor.

APOLICY OF LIFE INSURANCE IS THE CHEAPEST AND SAFKSr MODE of making a certain provision for one's famirr." B?NJAMIN FRANKLIN: Nothing is so uncertain as life.

TO THE PUBLIC. THE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED against despotism for four vcars of blood and terror, in assertion of the sanc? tity of the Constitution. A patriotism sufficiently broad to embrace both sections has been its onlv guide, and it refers now with honest pride to its record to show that it uss not turned to the right or tho loft under all the violence of arbitrary power. True to its principles as THE NEWS has been through the reign of terror, it chal? lenges public confidence in its honesty and independence for the future. The political transition of the present day opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field of usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, on the inviolability of the Con? stitution, according to the interpretation of the strict constructionists, it presents a rallying ground for all, in both sections, who are friends of a generous conservatism. As a true and tried exponent of sectional amity, it occupies a position which makes it the fitting mediator in holding up to tho party of order, in both sections, interests and principles that gave breadth and vi? tality to their alliance. As an intersec tional agent, devoted to freedom of elec? tion, to trial by jury, to the sanctity of tho habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for four years of terror it has been, to the cen? tralization that dares to trample on the rights of States, North or South, THE NEWS places itself as a candidate for sup? port before tho great body of this once free people. The circumstances of thc moment make the dissemination of the principles of THE NEWS a duty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in it? doctrino must, if he entertain a true sense of free? dom, do so in no spirit of indifference, but rather with the earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bound, in his love of libertv, to do so,the proprietor places the canvass he makes here of the public generally in tho hands of thoeo men who give him "the ap? proval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of THE NEWS cannot avoid tho conviction of duty which is hero pointed out as the ground of the request, that he urges its claims for a Wider support upon all ot his friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to tho causo of "strict construction, ' intersection al con? ciliation, and all the rights of the 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 tho country, to discharge, to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in tho 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.
