We are growing old together; There is silver In thy hair, In the whiteness of my templos Life hath left Its lines of care. We are growing old together, Thou art beautiful to me ; We are growing old together. Am I beautiful to thee t We are growing old together : When you held my plighted band, Life wore a look of splendor Unseen on tea or land. By the pain of the lamenting That the summer could not bring. With the ripeness of its fruitage, The brightness of the spring ; By the lovely hope we buried, By tbe dying child we kissed, I lore thee best, my dearest, For what tby life bath minsod. We are growing old together: When we drop the Sody'e veil, Tbe one will wait the other Within the silent pale. Into the grand Forever Together we will glide; No power in the ages Our b ing can divide. We shall grow young together ; Wbat poet ever sung Tbe rapture of Immortals, Who love, foreveryoung ! AGUE.

"Shall I have your hand?" said an ex quisite to a belle, as the dance was about to commence. "With oil my heart," was the soft respousa, It is very indiscreot and troublesome am bition which cares so much about fame; about what the world says of us ; to bo al ways looking in the faces of others for ap proval ; to be always anxious about the effect of what we do or say ; to bo always shout ing, to hear the echoes of our own voices. Straws. The result of the town elcctions'inNew York shows Democratic gains in every part of the Slate, sufficient to render it probable that the Empire State will roll up 100,000 majority in November next, for the Democratic nominee for the Presi dsncy. We are also enabled to record great gains in all parts of Ohio, except in the city of Cleveland, which from some local cause gives an increased Iladical ma jority. Hut gutncient is indicated to render the lsuckeye State sure for the Democracy by at least 20,000 next November. The few local elections that have taken placo in New Jersey show decided Democratic increase. Trenton, heretofore Republi can, has gone Democratic by 200 majority. J ersey City gives 800 Democratic majority again of 900 over last year. Michi gan , which in 186(5 gave 29,Ud8 Republican majority, has defeated the negro suffrage proposition, and gives promise of wheeling into the Democratic line. Wisconsin has elected a Republican J ndge of the Su preme Court by less than 4,000 majority, indicating beyond a doubt our ability to to carry the State whenever an election transpires of sufficient importance to call out a full vote. This summary with the result of the State elections in New Hamp shire and Connecticut, in both of .which States we have made handsome gains, are straws sufficient to render certain the abil ity of the Democracy to elect a President in November nea;t. Oregon Herald. Itacouroglug Signs. Wo heard much from our radical oppo nents, last fall, by way of explanation of the Uelcats which they suflcrod. "Apathy" and "local causes" were assigned as rea sons lor disasters which followed six years . a . sr 01 triumph, 'j hat any permanent changos had ensued in tho relations of parties they would not believe. The next elections, assured us, would show that tho radi cals had simply been caught napping, and had thereby lost a small portion of their camp cquippngo ; but thcirforces wcro in tact, aud at the next fight they would sweep tho field. The Democracy were confident of entirely another state of things, judging from tho facts that a pow erful revolution in public sentiment had gradually taken place, aud that a strong tido was setting agaist tho Radical party which no effort could reverse. It was no eddy, no whirlpool, but a steady, flowing stream. Kvcry week, in local elections held hero and there, we sec evidence that the change of political sentiment, so sig nally mauifcMtcd, was tot crancsccnt or duo to ephemeral influences, but rosting on a substantial basis of chauged convic tions. In New York State, for cxamp'c, where Radicnliui was swamped under 50,000 Democratic majority, tho local elections, show the vigor of the Democ- racy unabating. Ihcy are, in lad, . mm A achieving new victories. In the town of Watcrford, in Jefferson county, last week. for the firet time in fifteen years, thev acnievea a triumph at themuniciiiarelec- tiou. In lfcGG, Fcnton carried the town by a majority of 150. In 1807. the Democrats knocked that majority down to -17 : and, last week, still pushing on the column, they carried the town by 40 ma jority a gain of 87 sinco November, a lull vote being polled, ho in Herkimer county, in that State. The ladicals have controlled the county fur many years. Of the nineteen towns, tney hau sixteen, ciccung tne ."-upcr visors in t . . a rm each. Lat three addi the number In f'jur ot li the Radical week the Democrats carried tional towns, thus doubling supervisors, so reduced majorities that achango of 50 votes would have given them a majority of the Super visors in the county. A significant fact is that the Democratic majorities in the ix towns carried by them are larger than the aggregate radical majorities in the remaining thirteen, showing that upon a general ticket the Democracy would have carried the county. Another siirn of the 10 change of sentiment, and of one of the most nowcrful opera tive causes by which that change has been produced and has been perpetuated, is in the increased extent of the circulation of Democratic newspapers; as cno instance of thin, take the town of Hammondport in New York. In 18G7, the New York Tribune held the field there, outrunning tho 1IW. Now tho two papers stand thus. New York Weekly World, 85; Semi-weekly 11 ; total, 9G. Tribune week ly, 7; scui weekly, 20; total. 27. The sentiments of a communtty may be pretty fairly inferred from tho senti ments of tho newspapers circulating amongst them. Where four-fifths of the religious newspapers taken at an office are Methodist, it is quite safe to conclude that tbe active denominational sentiment of that community is Methodist, and where three-quarters of the political news papers distributed in any district are Democratic, it is certain that tho active thought of such a community is running in Democratic channels. The immense iocr;cs; of the circulation of Democratic newspapers in every State, from Massa chusetts to Missouri, is one of the assur ing signs that tho change in the relations of parties is a thoughtful and deliberate cnenot spasmodic, jasionato or capri cious. In tho city of Reading, Pennsylvania, at the next municipal election, tho Radi cals were routed, . " horse, foot and dra goons." The Democratic Auditor was elected by 33G majority, a gain of 317 since the election in October. Doth branches of the Common Council are Democratic, and a majority of the Ward -fa r 1 j ciliCCr! coming west ana passing on 10 Kansastnotice there that the condition of affairtff ia1ii752rSniW is Radical. Rut the prodigious majority of 9,000 against negro suffrage in a total vote of about 25,000 shows that tho type of Radicalism there is not reliable. The voto showed, too, that Domocracy was far stronger than any one bad supposed. There had been no thorough organization. The Democracy for years had been retir ing and quiet in the prcsenco of rampart jayhawkers, red-legs and furious radicals, so that, in faot, they were scarcely known as an organized party. Rut the large vote which they cast satisfied experienced campaigners . that if a timely and thor ough organization had been had the Dem ocracy would have carried tho State. The surprisingly large vote which they did cast had one excellent effect. It has spurred them up to make a complete or ganization to find out their real forco in the State. One of the counties where thev nrorjosed to bczin was Douerlas coun- era a kj n ty, where Lawrence, the headquarters of r 11 1. , . n 1 i 11.1 jvansas nauicaiism, nounsnes wun an tne rank luxuriance of the most intolerant Radical faith. They were laughed at and derided for any such attempt, not merely by the Radicals, but by friends who had only a weak faith. It was predicted that they could not drum up three hundred Democrats in Douglas in three months. But the movement was undertaken and with most remarkablo success. Last week the Secretary of the Central Com mittee announced that in three weeks' ef fort seven hundred Democrats were en rolled in the county. Clubs were formed in every towrship. February 16th a meeting assembled in Lawrence to organ ize a club; In that hot-bed of Radical ism, seventy-five names were signed to the constitution and by-laws of a Demo, cratio club that night,. and the SecretAry says two hundred and fifty names will be got in the city. .Let a thorough, active, systematic organization of this sort go on J in Kansas during this spring, and the DEMOCRAT. prediction of one of tho Democratic pa pcrs mauo mere in govern ucr, tnat in 1808 Kansas will bo Democratic, will be verified. There is everything, in fact, in tho signs of tho times to encourage the Dem ocracy to go into the approaching cam paign with tho most exhilirating assuran ces of victory. In nineteen States which votod last fall, the aggregate Democratic majorities exceeded, by many thousand, the Judical. If Indiana and Illinois, in which a summing up of the Democratic majorities in the local elections showed the Democracy were in the ascendant, aro added, wo have twenty-one States in which tho aggregate majorities of the Democrats show that tho "people" of the North arc now Democratic. 1 he signs to which wt have alludod, and many more to which we might refer, point unerring ly to the fact that the "people" are more and more ranging thcmsclvos with the Democracy, and that the year 1808 will install that party in supreme power. Maxoiiri Jirjtublican, February 29. Tho Illglt Crime The Real Crimi nals. Wero tho President as guilty as he is guiltless, there are men at Washington guiltier than he, and a greater crime is doing than any he is accused of. Im peachment is but the blind of these great er criminals to hide this greater crime. It behooves the people of the United States to keep their attention fastened on this great crime the crime of the Republican party aud the Rump Congress the crime of Disunion. Kvcry other crime of theirs is less than this, or is adjuvant to this tho greatest of their crimes. Their us urpation of the powers cf the Executive ; their usurpation of the powers of the Judiciary ; their attempted occupancy of .1. . . . -i ? .1 ' J 1 ue jvxecuuve cuatr oy tne impcaenment process ; their squandering of the public treasure; their wholesale frauds upon the revenue; their continuance of the whisky-tax at two dollars so as to get a few millions of money for carrying the No vember elections by suffering tho whisky, thieves and the bribed revenue-officers to plunder the people of fifty millions; their usurpation of the rights of States to control the suffrage of tho power thus white suffrage and aud tho prostitution usurped to abridge coufcr the ballot by wholesale upon icnorant blacks: these indeed are crimes, but they arc less than, or tributary to, their greater crime. Four years of successful war they pros tituted to party purposes. Three years of complete peace they havo prostituted to party purposes. Disunion sttll exists, despite successful war, dc.pite entire peace. Party ascendancy is still their solo purpose, and their plan is to main tain it by negro supremacy worked through a military despotism over ten States. Grant has consented to be their tool in working the military despotism, but he is only the General of the Armies of the United States. A successful despotism is not assured unless they can control the Commander-in-Chief. Hence they im peach the President who was the choice of tho people, to replace him by another who has just been rejected by the people. Wade will bo their pliant tool. Johnson will not. Disunion prolonged to keep the Repub lican party in power; Negro supremacy worked by Military Despotism to keep the Republican party in power after Dis union becomes impossible; These are the high crimes of the Republican party, these the misdemeanors of the Rump. These high crimes and misdemeanors of their own they now seek to abet, yet draw attention from, by their sensational impeachment of tho President of the United States. Their charges against President John son arc trash. It is scandalous effrontery to utter or urge them. They deserve not the dignity of a flat denial. It is an in sult to the understanding of any man to demaud their disproof. Tho obstinate defender of the Constitution they impugn as its violator. Their charges arc trash, as their schemes are glass. Not he is the criminal. They are the traitors. The Rump Congress arc usurp ersand revolutionists. They band to- geiuofaTreaUis"1 ovduuaiuua suu im pudent lie in thelcUAi. against tho Chief Magistrate whose cnmoiu them has been that he has upheld and obeyed the Supreme Law that he has refused to conspire with them in disobe dience and disunion, in usurpation and treason. Let the people keep their eyes on the real traitors and the great crime. Let them watch tho genuine criminals as they go through their solemn mockery of im peaching him who refused his consent to every step of their crime. Let them fas ten their gaze on the usurpers, tbe trai tors, tho disunionistsvwho mako of this solemn procedure of an injured nation the instrument of their hate against the steadfast upholder of the nation's laws. Mark tho revolutionists of tho Bump as they insult tho face of day with the pre tence of a concern for the laws which in their hands have been nothing but the record of a party caucus and the register of party plans for the constitution which is everywhere rent with tho trampling of their brutal heels. Let the sensational-spectacle of a great impeachment go on. Let traitors bo min isters of J ustice; let usurpers . affect re gard for divisions of power in the struct ure they have undermined, let revolu tionist uphold the Ark of the Covenant, let a faithful Chief-Magistrate stand in the dock and a Chief-Justice preside who is ambitious of his chair ; let tho amaz ing mockery go on, but refuse to be deceived by the disguises of their role, O fellow Citizens I and forget not for a day the real criminals and their high crimes. N. Y. World. A lawyer, being sick, made his last will, and gave all his estate to fools and mad men. . Being asked his reason for so doing, he replied, "From such I had it, and to such I give it again." Tfs NO. 37. From tbe Winona Democrat Tho Radical Tarlfl" Robber j. During the late political canvass in this county and throughout tho State, Demo cratic presses and speakers told the peo ple that since the Radical party came in to power they had raised the Tariff a half dozen or more times, until they had got it so oppressively high that they dared not add another ounce to the camel's back for foar of breaking it. The "minor journal" in Winona and Radical papers and speakers elsewhere denied the charge, and brazenly attempted to convince the peoplo that Radical Congresses had lev ied high Tariffs on luxuries alone, used by the rich, while on articles generally consumed by the poor the advance in the Tariff had been very slight. Now, see how one of their own papers, the leading Radical organ of the West, exposes their bare-faced lying professions of favor to the poor and laboring classes. The Chi cago Tribune of the 13th hag the follow ing: . We want work that we may buy bread I" is the cry now far too frequent ly heard in the manufacturing districts of the East. " Give us work or we starve!" "We have had within a little more than six years eleven changes of the Tariff, each one increasing the duties on imports, and each one justified on the ground that it was needed by the working men of the country as a method of defence against the pauper labor of the Old World. The duties now average more than GO per cent, in gold, or about 85 per cent, in currency. Under the operations of these various tariff acts,- tho work of mutual robbery has gone on between class and cbiss to an extent that has no present par allel in the whole civilized world: and now tbo rcsuslt is, that every form of Eastern industry, except agriculture, be ing plundered by every other form, is so hampered and cmbarassed that, though prices ot all we eat, drink and wear are bigl: the derangement of business is so scno from us that little profit is realized there- hence employers are scarce, aod opr. jttives are appalled by a prospective want of bread. Mutual robbery has done fltlfntf. WA.V BWSSM MAM T. .fc V . its le plun Kfiiutaw nut. jk itv 11 UU uvu Mate lie red all who use their products; the woold n men have done the same : the cotton men are no better all protected, and all striving to see who should get the most for the least they have now reach ed a ihac in the system which places ir ritating and disturbing statutes above the laws of trade that they little expected to see. in the meantime, tbe men who toil eithci in the workshop or in the field have suffered most. When their muscles. which aro their capital and their machine ry, stop work tbo bread stops as well. They cannot shut down the gate or turn off thds steam and wait better times. The earnings of to-day are consumed to- morrow, and when toils ceases want steps in. And yet the Tribune continues to iden tify its influence with the Radical party, whosc whole system of legislation has been b rob the people by accursed pro- tective Tariffs, Southern "Reconstruc- tion" schemes, National Banks, non-taxed Bonds that w and every other species of robbery Duld tend to continue the Radical party in power, through the momed monopolies of the East and black-and-tan ignorance and white rascality in the South. Arti ficial Stone. Making stone is a business in St. Louis. The re is a concern there which makes out of common sand a man tie equal to one of white marble and sells it for about ten dollars. The sand in a few hours is converted into rock pre cisely similar to the strata and ledges be neath tbe earth that have required ages of aqueous and igneuous action to form them. The process is strictly scientific and ch emical. The materials used are commoti brown or white sand, soda, flint, chlorine; and calcium. The flint, which is the cementing agent, is melted, being sub- ted tb beat in connection with soda. FIinTLJta chflmical constitution is an acid, an4 lSoi" acids, readily com bines wiJh an alkalul?CS with soda the flint, (silicia) forms a silicalTca a tnicK, viscid, transparent .supsiance very much liko glue. If it is too thin when first made, it ia reduced by evapo ration in tin pans till it reaches the propci consistency. It is mixed with the sand, in a mill j from which the mixture comes forth- a good deal liko wet brown sugar. This substanco is called "pug." It is very plastio and works as easily in the hand as clay or putty. Each molder has a quantity of the "pug" placed in a box on the end of hii work-bench, from which he takes handfulls as he requires it to press into the mold. It matters not whether the mold is a rosette, a diamond, a flower or a leaf ornament a keystone, a vase, a pedestal, or the section of a mantle piece he molds any thing and every thing with equal ease, beauty and accuracy ; and when the form is taken from tho mold the product is a plastic ornament more per fect and beautiful than a carver could exe cute in a week of constant and patient la bor. JVeto York Sun. A vender of hoop-skirts was recently extolling his wares in the presence of a customer's husband. "No lady should be without ono of these skirts," said tho shop man.. "Well, of course not" dryly res ponded the hnsband, who was something of a wag, "f he should be within one." There is a curious rumor in Washing ton that Mrs Senator Sprague, who is quite a politician, sympathizes strongly with the President, represents to her hus band and her father, Chief Justice Chase, that it is an act of tyranny, and that John son has only stood up for his rights.

A Western correspondent writing from Galena, III., the town from which Gen. Grant emerged at the time of the war, draws information from his former towns men as to his old reputation, and also as to his present status Tor the ; Presidency, which will be found interesting. A dozen years ago Galena was one of .t. : - rc 1.1. na has been in a. quiescent state, and ia only heard of in connection j with Gen. Grant and lead mines. Before the war Mr. Grant Mr. Ulysses Grant- was a young married man, living in an unpre tending hired house on the hill west of the town. His father was a partner in a houf c now Perkin's in the main street, devoted to the trade in hides. Ulysses was what is called in city firms a light porter in this store, but still he did some pretty heavy work, loading j carts with hides, as well as casting up accounts.- -lie wore a slouched hat, and used to go through the town with his bead lowered, and always smoking a cigar; and, as the salary was but small, these cigars, even at the low prices which then ruled in the article, must have been an important item in his annual expenditures. "Did he manifest any of that talent which has since made him so famous ?" I asked of a citizen who gave me thoser reminiscences. "No," was the reply. "He was consid ered no more talented in any way than the other clerks on Main street." " Was he in any way a prominent citir zen r ; "Not at all. There wero many old res idents of our town who could not even recall him when his name became fa mous." "Did he take any part in politics V "Not that I remember. lie was a re ticcnt, unpretending man, going from his home to his daily work and tact again. "iben bis successful career Has been a a surprise to his neighbors V "Entirely so. They can hardljr be lieve it yet that the great military hero of the age is the unknown Galena clerk."' "How about his Presidential prospects." "Well, to tell the truth, here in Gale na there is a feeling of doubt as to wheth er he has the administrative ability such a position properly demands. He never' gave any gigou of it here, but, oh the oth er hand, it is true he never gave any inti mation of military ability. Yet with all this there is, I must say, a feeling of anx iety as to his fitness for the place. Hia best friends prefer he should retain his army position, and not aspire to the Pres idency ; and they say that at the proper moment he will assert this to be his own belief." j "Then I suppose," I continued, further questioning this obligingly communica tive citizen, "I suppose from this; he will not receive many votes here, if ;nomina ted?" ! "There you are entirely wrong," was the reply ; "everybody in Galena ' will vote for him, if only out of local pride,, no matter what their personal ; politics may be. The General is, of course, Tery popular here," Desperate Conflict. On jSunday last, Mr. Eli Taylor, while traveling down the South side of Applegate, Stewards Kerby ville, was a witness of a fierce and extraordinary conflict between a grzzly and a lion. The scene of this desperate encounter, was on the bank of Iron Creek,. a tributary of Applegate. Mr. Taylor ap- 1 . 3 11. proaenca to wuuin ioriyyarasoi me com batants, and represents their mode of fight ing as perfectly terrific. The lion ap peared to be the attacking party, spring ing on his antagonist with desperate en ergy, biting, clawing, and screaming with rage. Bruin would await the attack, on his haunches, and . several times hugged his adversary with such, force a tn riimnel.him to resort to the use of his - hind claws, which, apparently, did terriblor execution and made the bear relax his tre mendous grip. Several times the bear struck the lion with his fore paw with, such force as to send him whirling from, him, but ho would immediatly return and renew the battle. Mr. T. watched the fearful contest for over an hour, until the? .1 U-lo Vi o C nii rr f ? n in o ln-rtcitr gulch, where he thought it was imprudent ; to follow. It was difficult to say which, had the best of the fight, both being com pletely covered with blood and apparently met Mr. Wm; CoadiOhSS home in this county. Last October Mr? - Condit, accompanied by four men from Linn county, crossed the Cascade moun tains on the Lebanon road, and made ape re manent camp on Des Chutes river, 80 miles above Warm Springs reservation where they put up what they supposed would bo a sufficient quantity of hay for horses, and made other arrangements for tho winter, and went into trapping and hunting. About the 1st of Novembef snow began to fall, and continued for fif ty one days, at first laying but a short, time, but finally reaching adepth of three feet ; when Mr. C. left it was two feet deep in places. The weather at times was Tery cold, and they were compelled to shovel the snow from the ground to get' grass for the horses, for a month. There was but little game or beaver where they wintered. Mr. Condit l-sft their camp April 5th, ao companied by a Frenchman, and struck tho Canyon City road at Cross Hollows, reaching the Dalles by easy stages. The remainder of the party went' to Crooked river to prospect for gold. Record, j The more we see of the world, tho more we aro satisfied that simplcity is as inseparably tho companion of true great ness. We never yet knew a truly great mad a man who overstepped his fellow men who did not possess a certain play ful, almost iafantine simplicity. True greatness never struts on stilts, or plats the king upon tho stage.
