Ltag Tears Ago-
All for a. pretty girlish facc,
Two cheeks of rosy hue,
Two laughing lips of vermeil tiiit,
Xni eyés nt teavontt Múe. - *
All for & little dimpled chin,
A round throat snowy fair,*
A darling mouth to dream upop, .
And glorious golden hair. ;
- i
All for a tender coning voice,
And gentle fluttering sighs:
All for the promises made to ine
By story telling eyes.
All for that pretty girlish face.
Far a hand as white as snow,
I dreamed a foolish dream of love,
Long, long years ago.

The rust is on the red of the clover,
The greon is under the gray,
And down fha hollow the fleet-winged
swallcw
Is flyicg away, and away
Fled are the roses, dead are the roses.
The glow and the glory done;
And down the hollow the steel-winged
swallow
Flying the. way o' the son.
/
In place of summer, a dread new comer
Ills solemn state renews ;
A crimson splendor instead o' the tender
Daisy, and darling dews.
And while fair weather and frost togeilier
Color the woods so gay,
Wo must remember the chill December
~ Has turned his steps this way.
And say as we*gather the house.
And pile the logs on the hearth, .
Help us to follow the light little swallow
E'en to the ends of the earth !

to be similar in politics tothe former.
. Gen. Reynolds returns to Austin.
A new theatrical company have
opened in Houston, Capt. Crisp's
company having failed. We doubt
if any company could succeed in
Houston.
The 'squire bad a friend to visit
him one day on business, and was
very much annoyed by his wife,# who
came to ask him what.be wanted for
dinner.
"Go away! let us alone!" impa-
tiently said the 'squire.
Business detained his friend until
dinner time,.and he urged him to re-
main. Tha 'sqafeft was a generous pro-
vider, and prona of his title; he escor-
ted his freud to a seat. A little to the
surprise, ofbotb, they saw nothing on
tbe board^mt a huge dish of salad,
which the good wife began quietly to
serye up.
"Mydear,"'said the 'squire, "where
are the meats ?"
"There are none to^day, replied"
his lady.
"No meat! what, in the name of
poverty ! the vegetables not brought
in 1"
'•You didn't order %any vegeta-
ble?."
"Orders—didn't order anything."
said the 'squire.
"You forget," cooly replied the
housewife, '•! asked what we would
have, and you said 'let us alone.' Here
litis." "
The friend burst into a laugh, and
the 'squire, after looking flurried and
lugubrious a moment, heartily joined
him.
"Wife, I give it up. I owe yon
one. 'Hero is 850 yon wanted for
that carpet, which I dented yon."
And'the 'squire forked over.
"Now let us have peace, and some
dinner."
The good woman pocketed the
money, rang the bell, and a sump-
tuous repast of lish, poultry and veg-
etables was brought in.
A few days afterwards, the 'sqnire
remained in the garden some time
after the usual tea hour; the wife grew
impatient of delay, and went to find
him. . His excuse, when he was ask-
ed what he was waiting for, threw her
into a flutter of excitemeut.
'•Some one's to come to supper J"
she exclaimed. *'Why didn't you
tell me ? I declare your the most
provoking man I ever saw !"
Ajid without asking which one of
his ftiends was expected, she hasten-
ed to change her dress and fix up for
tha occasion. This done, she came
out aud fennd the 'squire at the ta-
ble reading his newspapers.
*• Where's your company 1"
"My company! 1 haven't any
company."
"But yon said yon expected com-
pany to sapper !" exclaimed the in-
dignant wife.
"My dear, I said no such thing.
Yon asked what I was waiting for*
and I said 'summons to come to sup-
per*—that /rt as 'what I said' I was
waiting for, my dear, and I came at
once.'" . ; v
"And you have Ttoade me go aud*
change my dress ? Oh, I'll pay you
for all this!"
"No matter about ttiat* my dear;
I owed you one for that lettuce."
Jack Willard and the Blind Bone
The Mobile Register is responsible
for the following mirth-provoking in-
cident:
For twenty-three years, old Jack
Willard had cultivated the soil of
Baldwin county, and drawn there
from a support for self and wife.
He is childless. Not long ago, Jake
left the house in search of a missing
cow. His route, led him through an
old worn out patch ef clay land, of
abont six acres in extent, in the cen-
ter of which was a well, twenty-five
or thirty feet deep, that at some time,
probably, had furnished the inmates
of a dilapidated house near by with
water. In passing by this spot, an
ill wind lifted Jake'* "tile from his
head, and maliciously wafted it to the
edge of the well, and in it tumbled.
Now Jake had always practiced
the virtue of economy, and he imme-
diately sat about recovering the lost
hat. He ran to the well, and finding
it was dry at the bottom, he uncoiled
the rope which he had brought for
the purpose gf capturing the truant
cow, and after several attempts _to
catch the hat with á noose, he con-
cluded to save time by going down
into the well himself To accom-
plish this, he made one end fast to a
stump hard by; and was quickly on
his way down the well.
It is a fact, of which Jake was no
less oblivious than thfc reader hereof,
that Ned Wells was in the dilápidat«
ed building aforesaid, and that an old
blind horse, with a bell on his neck,
which had been turned ont to die,
was lazily grazing within a short dis-
tance of the well.
. The devil himself or «orne wickjd
spirit, put it in Nqd'8 cranium to|have
a little fun, so he qnietly slipped np
to the old horse, and unbuckled the
bell-strap, and approaching with slow
measured "ting-a-ling" the edge of
the well.
"G d dang that old blind
horse!" said Jake, "he's a-com:
this way for snre ! and ain't got:
more sense than to fall in here. Whoa
Ball."
Bnt the continued approach of the
"ting-a*ling" said justas plainly as
words that "Ball" wouldn't whoa.
Besides Jake was at tbe bottom,
resting, before trying to "shin " it np
the rope.
"Great Jerusalem," said he "the
old enss will be a-top of me before I
can say Jack Robinson. Whoa !
G -d daug you, whoa."
Just then, Ned drew np to the .edge
of the well, andjwith his foot kicked a
little dirt into it.
"Ob. Lord !" exclaimed Jake, fall-
ing upon his knees at the bottom,
I'm gone now, whoa. Now I lay me
down to. sleep—w-h-o-a, Ball,—I
pray the Lord my soul to w-h-o-a,
now. Oh! Lord,- have mercy upon
me."
Ned could hold in no longer, and
fearful Jake might suffer from his
fright, he revealed himself.
Probably Ned didn't make tracks
with his heels from that well. May-
be Jaké wasn't up to the top of that
well in short^g^er, and you-might
think V f1*!? Bvt>rv night for

his t ight to replication.
Tbe managers announced their re-
plication wonld be ready to-morrow,
at one o'clock.
The President's counsel-asked for
thirty days to prepare for trial. Two
hours argument ensued and thirty
days was repulsed by a vote of 41 to.
12—stfict party vote.
- A motion to postpoue the fixing of
time until after replication by the
Honse, failed.
Reverdy Johnson moved allowing
ten days as amindatcry to the motion
from tho President's counsel for a
reasonable time, but the Court and
Senate adjourned. .
At 12:30 Watle announced the
suspension of business for impeach-
ment. The order was jjjguftl until 1
o'clock, when Chief Justice Chase
proclaimed the court open. The
journal was read, and the managers
were informed that tho President's
counsel appeared, etc. Davis sub-
mitted a motion that the Senate as
conducted, did not constitute the im-
peachment Court, as contemplated by
the Constitution, ten States, without
their consent/being ignored. Only
Davis and McCreery, both of Ken-
tucky, voted aye. Chief Justice
$hase intimated that the Court was
ready for the President's answer.
Stanfcery said it was ready, but the
counsel had devoted «very hour
allowed, ignoring their own private
business, and encroaching on the
habitual refreshment and recreation
to its preparation. Curtis, Stanbery
and Evarts each read in turn.

cumstances, claiming his constitu-
tional power of removal, and, so
considers the organization of the War
Department, and the relations of the
Secretary of War to his administra-
tion, claiming him as his. constitu-
tional adviser, and showing the Presi
dent's responsibility for the Sec-
retary's actions. He proceeds to
show that Stanton has become hostile
to the administration, and could not
longer occupy the position toward the
administration contemplated by the
fathers of the country and that the
President conld no longer assume re-
sponsibility for his actions. He fur-
ther claims that the action of the
Senate did uot.restore Stanton to the
War Office, but that the War Office
was technically vacant when he ap-
pointed Thomas. Familiar laws and
precedents were quoted at length to
sustain this position. He denies
having or intended violating the*Con-
stitution or laws. Answering the
second article, the President asserts
at length, that the War Office was
vacant, and quotes laws to sustain
Thomas' appointment.
In answer to the third article, is a
general denial
•Answering the fourth article, he de-
nies any conspiracy whatever. His
Action was confined to the notes to
Thomas and Stanton, appointing one
and removing the other.
In answer to the 5th, 6th and 7th
articles, the same allegations occur,
all backed by the assertion that-he
had no objest whatever but to main-
tain the prerogative of hit office by
legal means.
Answering the . eighth article, he
disavows any intention of taking pos-
session of the money or property of
the War Office, and again insists by
argument, illustration aud precedent,
that he acted in a constitutional man-
ner.
Answering the ninth article, he
quotes the interview at length, and
his protest against the rider to the
Army Appropriation bill, in which
he claimed, as he claim-f that it depriv-
ed him of his constitutional duty of
commanding the army.
In answer to the tenth article, the
Presidents denies that the specifica-
tions give the truth in verbiage, state-
ment or argument in quoting from his
speech, and in case Senators enter-
tain charges, he demands a full inves-
tigation of what he &aid and meant.
In answer, the President claims in a
manner somewhat defiant, his freedom
of speech—he claims that though
President he is an American citizen.
Answering the eleventh article, he
claims that he cannot answer it be-
cause it designates no design, device,
or attempt involving action which
could be construed into a hij

TEXAS NAVIGATION COMPANY,
and having now the command of a number
of Steamboat?, Barges and Tugs, is pre-
pared to afford the most ample means of
Transportation from Galveston Bay to the
City ot Houston. This Company offers
every inducement to Shippers to adopt
their line, from the fact that they avoid
on all Direct Freight from New York and
other Eastern Cities, aK charges at Gal-
veston for wharfage, receiving and for-
warding, or for advancing on freights by
.their line, and there are no charges for
receiving and forwarding freights sent
them by vessels not in their line, whether
from Jsew Orleans or elsewhere. Freight
intended for the interior ot Texas, upon
arrrival at Houston, is forwarded to the
consignees on the line of these roads with-
out incurring any charges at Houston to
the Rail Road Depots.
Where shipments are made from New
York by their vessels to Houston, there is
•but a slight excess of charge over the price
of freight from New York to Galveston,
and all charges at Galveston are avoided,
the goods being delivered at Houston on
our bill of lading and freight.
This Company having invested a largo
and sufficient amount of capital in this
entevprize to meet ail the demands of this
truJe, are prepared and < et rmined to
make it an entire success, by offering in-
ducements to the whol« interior trade of
the State.
This Company is prepared to take Cot-
ton at the city of Houston by this line and
whether intended for Galveston or else-
where, to save tbe shipper at least 33 per
cent, of costs of shipments by any other
mode.
There will be no charge upon or deten-
tion of Cotton coming over any of the
Rail Roads to Houston, except drayage—
it will be promptly transferred from the
rofid to their boats and barges.
They ask your patronage for the

pany," and pledge their individual repu-
tation to afford satisfaction to tho public.
All consignments will bo made to
