. In the Vale.
’ Who climbeth up too high,
He hath the heavier fall—
The path into the vale
Is safest path of all,
Not always in the sun .
Ye find the heavenly road,
_ There's many a downward road
That leadeth straight to God.
The snowdrop‘in the shade
Hath still the purest white;
The sweetest bird that sings
, Sings loudest in the night;
And in the sunny spring
Full many a flower will blow,
That had not blossomed now
But for the winter snow.
The child that ailcth most.
The mother loves the best;
The tender little bird
Stays closest in the nest;
The weakling of the fold
Is safest far from harms,
Because the Shepherd Lord
Will keep it in his arms. ~

Tilden, the Democratic nominee for Pres.
ideut, is probably the most unfit man for that
' position that could have been selected.‘ He
.s a born aristocrat, and is in sympathy with
no human being but Sam. Tilden. He lives '
in one of the most gorgeous mansions in New
York, and, more than any one man in the
city, keeps up the style of the European na-
bo‘a. His associates are the kid-gloved De-
mocracy of_the Manhattan Club, and he nev-
er would have been a Democrat, only for the
reason thatthrough his money he could con-
trol the lower classes, whom he despises as
heartily as a man can. He has tWo quali-
lties—Fgreed for money-and ambition for pm
litical prominence. And there is nothing un
der heaven that he will not do, to attain these
ends. ' He was the trusted cOunsellor Of Tweed
so long as he could share his robberies, and
he Only .turned against him when further as-
socistion would have damaged, his other as-
pirations. . He did not preserve faith? with
that gang even. He took. their money, and'
then deserted them when they were in‘ dan-
ger. He was thelhired, retainer, and partner
_‘ the most gigantic railroad swindle of this

grpy these operations, he was strong enough
financially to buy up a Democratic Cohven-
den, and he is working his campaign by the .
rams agency. He is buying up his opponents,
with money he is silencing .those ' who are
dangerous to him, and with money he is or-
ganizing that vast mass of dangerous veters,
the purely venial. There are men at work
for Tilden in this city. handling thousands,

Auburn Prison, and‘heis now, for. the first

was a clerk in the office of a shoe manufactur-

.‘f‘alept in a cell, or snjoyedprison fare. There
”he had a very good time, and was as comfort-
: able as a man could be who was under any
grgegtraint. But in Auburn it is quite differ-
, out. Mr. Stokes has on him the prison garb,
he practices the leek-step, he eats as do other
prisoners, he is treated precisely as the rest
are. For the rest of his term Mr. Stokes is
likely to know what it is to be a prisoner in
earnest. He growls about it, but to no pur-
pose. He is too old a sensation to excite any
interest, and he will serve his time out and
subside into a common loafer when he is dis.
charged. The way of the transgressor is
hard. Even Josie Mansfield, who lured him
« to his ruin, laughs at him as a silly fool, who
made an unpleasant thing for her by his

THE HAM-ERICA’N RACE.
BY Onrxnus c.3132.
fTwas by the wayside, near a Southern town.
I spied a sage beneath a tree reclining;
His old straw hat was guiltless of s. cm“.
His pantaloons had less of clo$than lin-
Ing. ‘
Addressing him about the latest news
I quickly found him, by his salutation,
a man of boundless and erroneous views,
And vast and various misinformation.
“I reckon you’re a Yankee come," said be,
' “Upon some sneaking mission or other
To see how being equalized and free
Agrees with him you call your colored
brother,
Extinction waits on him, with all his rights,
So freely by his laws confounded l
He’ll keep attacking the defenceless whites
Till all the colored race are killed or wound-
ed.
“In New Orleans—behold the lesson taught!
When inconvention certain blacks asscrn
bled, , _ -
A sound of peaceful throngs outside was
. caught,
And in the halls the blacks bloodthirsty
'trembled;
Then through the windows, lobbies, outer
gate, '
By the unarmed Caucasian race surrounded,
The Frecdmen rallied in their murderous
hate,
And nineteen colored men were badly
wounded. -
“In Central Georgia, several months ago,
The sons of Airic held a loyal meeting,
And divers white men went to see the show
greeting. ‘
But 10! when speaking had gone on a spell,
And all the air with loyal words resounded
Upon the helpless whites the negroes fell,
And nineteen colored mem were badly
wounded.
“In Old Virginia, at a rural place,
Where many Africans had come for voting
The merest handful Of the higher race,
were looking on, and minor matters no-
ting;
When at a cry about some vote refused,
The blacks infuriate on the handful bound-
ed, ‘
Their knives and pistols mercilessly used,
And fourteen colored men were badly
wounded.
“SO, at the capital of all the‘States—
, Your boasted Washington, the placid city-—
There were, in journals of the proper dates,
Correct reports of what should move your
pity ;
The town election rallied countless blacks,
Who armed and maddened and to riot
hounded,
Made on the unresisting whites attacks,
And fifteen colored men were badly wound-
ed.
“Yet, furthermore: of late in Tennessee,
Where Stokes was beaten at the polls by
Senter, '7
The savage negroes, armed from head to knee,
Seemed on a fight than on their votes. in-

To vent some petty, diabolical spite, ,
Upon the plea of some vague charge un-
founded, , _
They turned in fury on a single white,
And-sixteen colored mcnwere badly wound-

The sage concluded with a dismal gesture
And left me victim of amazing doubt,

THEIR OWN wrvus.
Arsene Houssaye, in his latest letter to the
Tribune, gives the following amusing sketch
of French society life: There are Parisians
who have their summer retreat in Paris. For
instance, Madame Rattazzi (who does not re-
semble that provincial academy which could
never get itself talked about) gave, to-night
a Venetian fete in the Avenue de l’Impera-
trice. The women were masked, the men
and amusing. I cannot detail the quadrilies
of mystifications which filled the ball. The
French women have succeeded the Italians
in the art of playing imbroglois. Here is one
that is worth reporting: A representative of
the people and a former prefect of the em-
pire, wanted to go to the ball without their
wives, but the two ladies, who were cousins,
arranged to go there without advertising the
matter too loudly. Naturally they came
principally to be revenged on their husbands,
and you may easily imagine that they went,
at it with a will. They began by teasingthese
gentlemen as to the ' consequences of their
absence. “How,” said one of them, “how
could you leave these poor women at home ?
Are you quite sure they will stay there with-
out you? How do you know that they have
not gone to drive in the Bois, to talk senti-
ment in the moonlight ‘2” “Nonsense," said
one of the husbands, “we know our wives;
they are doves who go, to bed early. Our
wives are of the old fashioned kind who stay
at home and spin.” “Take care! Penelope
also stayed at home and spun; but Ulysses
did well to return.” _ .
The husbands recognized their wrves, but
this was only the first scene of the comedy.
The lively invention of the ladies did not
cease. A quarter of an hour afterward they
had succcded in' exchanging their red and
blue dominoes, so as completely to deceive
their two husbands, when they returned and
took their arms. Each thought he was talk-
ing to his friend’s wife. The two women
had never beenso tender and so engaging,
and the two friends were soon startled with
their good fortune. “What," said one, “the
prefect’s wife! I thought her so discreet.
I never heard her name mentioned. It must be
thatIam irresrstable. I am sorry for the
ry for my friend, but I am not sorry to play
this trick on the republic. These Opposition
deputies imagine that the republic has re-
formed morals; but they had better
be reforming their wives.” Both pre-
fect and deputy exerted themselves to the
utmost to invent pretty speeches. Both la-
dies were so carried away that they eas’ly
consented to leave the ball and improve the
beautiful summer night by making a prom-
enade in the Role. But the two husbands
were a little frightened by their success.
“Yes,” said one, “it would be delightful to
take a turn In the Bois, but if your husband
should perceive that you are not here—"
“My husband! Is it your place to recall my
husband to me when I wish to forget his exis-
tence .9” After this charming speech there
was nothing to do but to go out the garden
gate, enter a carriage, and drive to the Bois.
It was a true idol Of the night, set to music
by the whistling of the blackbird, that deri-
sivc bird who only came to‘ Paris to make
game of Parisians. The deputy never mount.
ed the tribune with such emotion as he felt
i. kissing the hand of his wife. “Who
could have told me,” murmured the prefect;
“that the fairest day of my life would come‘
in a pink domino ?" This sport could not last
always. The husbands. at last perceived that
they were flirting with their wives. One
boxed her husband’s ears because Of his ex-
cessive amiability. Theother says i never
will pardon hers. What does all this prove
as a study of the human heart ? There is ma-
terial there for a whole chapter for Montaigne
and Erasmus. Perhaps I will write it my-
self some day, but at present I will merely
deduce the moral that masked ball are a good
thin to brin husbands and wives together.
