‘ A Question.
Beyond the fields with summer glowing,
I see a grave where flowers are growing,
Where grateful hands are always throwing
Bright laurels one by one.
A splendid heart at rest is lying;
A brave heart, victorin its trying,
That left humanity when dying,
A great work grandly done.
IVithin those fields with sunlight burning,
His scanty living daily earning,
A man the fragrant hay is turning
In many aheap;
Slow are the eyes that watch his raking,
Or idly signs of weather taking,
The heart to impulse only waking,
The soul still dumb, asleep.
Which is the death? We are receiving
New courage from a soul yet giving,
A blessing from a heart yet living,
An inspiration still. '
Which is the live? A dull, blind straying?
A toil no grander thought obeying?
Heart, live thy best, thy questions laying
On some far broader will. ’

ARRAIGNMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow-citizens and
citizen soldiers; I am opposed to the dem-
ocratic party; and I will tell you why.
Every state that seceded from the United
States was a democratic state. Every ordi-
nance of secession that was drawn was drawn
by a democrat. ' Every man that endeavored
to tear the old flag from the heaven that it
enriched was a democrat. (A voice—“give
it to them,”) Everyman that tried to de-
stroy this nation was a democrat. Every
enemy this great republic has had for twen-
ty years has been a democrat. Every man
that shot Union soldiers was a democrat.
(Cheers—“That’s 50.”) Every man that
starved Union soldiers and refused them in
the extremity of death a crust was a demo-
crat. (Renewed cheering.) Every man that
loved slavery better than liberty was a dem-
ocrat. The man that assassinated Abraham
Lincold was a democrat. Every man that
sympathized with the assassin—every man
glad that the noblest President ever elected
was assassinated, was :a democrat. Every
man that wanted the priviledge of whipping
another man to make him work for him for
nothing and pay him with lashes on the
naked back was a democrat. (Cheers) Every
man that raised blood-hounds to :pursue hu-
man beings _ was a democrat. Every man
that clutched from shrieking, shuddering,
crouching mothers, babeszfrom their breasts
and sold them into slavery was a democrat.
(Cheers) Every man that impaired the cred-
it of the United States, every man that swore
he would never pay the bonds, every man
that swore he would never redeem the green-
backs, every maligner of his country’s credit,
every calumniator of his countrys’ honor,
was a democrat. (Cheers) Every man that
resisted the draft, every man that hid in the
bushes and shot at Union men simply be-
cause they were endeavoring to enforce the
laws of their country, was a democrat.
(Cheers) Every man that wept ' over the
corpse of slavery was a democrat. Every
man that cursed Lincoln because he issued
the proclamation of emancipation—the grand-
est paper since the Declaration of Independ-
encee-every one of them was a democrat.
(Cheers) Every man'that denounced the
soldiers that bated their bosoms to the
storms of shot and shell for the honor nf
America and for the sacred rights" or man
was a democrat. (Cheers) Every man that
wanted an uprising in the north, that wanted
to release the rebel prisoners that they might
burn down the homes of Union soldiers above
the heads of their wives and children, while
the brave husbands, the heroic fathers, were
in the front fighting for the honor of the old
flag, every one of them was a democrat.
(Cheers) I am not through yet. (Laughter
and cheers.) Every man that believed this
glorious nation of . ours is a confederacy,
every man that believed the old banner car-
ried by our fathers through the revolution,
through the war of 1812, carried by our
brothers over the plains of Mexico, carried by
our brothers over the field of rebellion, sim-
ply stood for a contract, simply stood for an
agreement, was a democrat. (Cheers) Every
man who believed that. any state could go
out of the Union at its pleasure,-evcry' man
that belived the grand fabric of the Ameri-
can government could be made to crumble
instantly into dust at the touch of treason,
was a democrat. (Cheers) Every man that
helped to burn orphan asylums in the city of
New York was a democrat ;: every man that .
tried to fire the city of - New York, although
he knew that thousands .would perish and
knew that the great flame of serpents leaping
from buildings would clutch children from
their mothers’ arms—every wretch that did
it was a democrat—(Cheers) Recolleet it 1
Every man that tried to spread small pox
and yellow fever in the north as the instru-
mentalities of civilized war, was a democrat.
Soldiers, every scar you have got on your
heroic bodies was given to you bya democrat.
(Cheers.) Every scar, every ,arm. that is
lacking, every limbrtha't is gone, ever scar is
a souvenir ofa democrat. (Cheers) I want
you to recollect it. (A ,‘voiCe ,F‘We will.”)
Every man that want the' enemy of human
liberty in this countrywasa democrat. Every
man that wanted the fruit of all the heroism
of all the ages to. turn to ashes upon the lips
-—evcry one was a democrat. (Cheers)
I am a republican. (Laughter and cheers.)
I will tell you why : This is the only free
government in the world. The republican
party made it so. The republican party took
the chains from 4,000,000 of people. The
republican party, with the wand of progress,
touched the auction block, and it became a
school-house. (Cheers) The republican
party put down the rebellion, saved the
nation , kept the old banner afloat in the air
and declared that slavery of every kind
should be extirpated from the face of this
continent. (Cheers) What more ? I am
a republican because it is the only free party
that every existed. It is a party that has a
platform as bread as humanity, a platform
as broad as the human race, a party that says
you shall have all the fruit of the labor of
your hands; a party that says you may think
for yourself; a party that says no chains for
the hands, no fetters for the soul. (A voice
——“Amen 1” Cheers.)
CARI. Scnunz tack occasion in a recent
speech to, deal with the charge of Know-
nothingism brought against Governor Hayes
He said :
“This is an utterly reckless charge. I
conversed with Governor Hayes about the
reports concerning the matter, when I saw
him, about three weeks ago. The whole
thing is based upon nothing but a careless
routine answer by Governor Hayes' secretary
toa complimentary letter. I think I have
answered similar letters in a similar way,
dozens of times in my life. To charge Gov-
ernor Hayes with Know Nothing sentiments
is the greatest absurdity that can be imagin-
ed. Everybody knowing him will confirm
what I say. As a foreign-hem citizen, who
loves his rightsas dearly as anybody, I do
not hesitate to declare that if there is any
man in this country, in whose hands I would
consider my rights safe as in my own, that
man is Rutherford B. Hayes. I shall there-
fore vote to make him President, with a
feeling of the most absolute safety.”

The Pool of Siloam as it now
Appears.
On our way to the Pool of Siloam we
passed the village of Siloam, which is inhab-
ited by about u whom-n41. New..mt
of stone huts and caves clinging to the side-
hill, and exactly the gray color of its stones.
The occupation of the inhabitants appears to
be begging, and hunting for old copper coins,
mites, and other pieces of Jewish money.
These relic‘s they pressed upon us with the
utmost urgency. It was easier to satisfy the
beggars than the traders, who sallied out
upon us like hungry wolves from their caves.
There is a great choice of disagreeable places
in the East, but I cannot now think of any
that I should not prefer as a residence to
Siloam.
The pool of Siloam, magnified in my infant
mind as “Siloam’s shady rill,” is an unat-
tractive sink-hole of dirty water, surrounded
by modern masonry. The valley here is
very stoney. Just below we came to Solo-
mon’s garden, an arid spot, with patches of
stone walls, struggling to be a vegetable gar-
den, and somewhat green with lettuce and
Jerusalem artichokes. I have no doubt it
was quite another thing when Solomon and
some of his wives used to walk here in the
cool of the day, and even when Shalum, the
son of Col-hozeh, set up “the wall of the Pool
or Siloah by the king’s garden."—— Warner in
Atlantic. .
At the republican meeting in Hartford,
Saturday, Mark Train presided and made a
very neat speech in introducing General Haw-
ley,jthe orator of the evening. Of the state
ticket General Hawley said : ,
In the first place, whatever may be said of
the party elsewhere, the republican party of
Connecticut has no need for apologies. There
are no corrupt acts of legislationto be pointed
at. No republican governor has made any se-
rious mistakesjn performing the duties of his
ofilce. It had control of the state during a long
series of years and it does not fear the closest
scrutiny of its record. Look at it during the
war, under the administration of the noble-
hearted Buckingham. (Applause) And when
the war was over it began a reduction of the
war debt and continued it systematically until
the democratic party came into power,when I
understand it has stopped.
. The platforms of Connecticut republicans
have been the expressions of sound political
doctrine. Especially has this been true of the
past few years in meeting the new demands of
the times. , ,
Look at our present state ticket. (Applause)
Henry C. RobinsonI have known from the
time he was a boy in our high school. ‘Heisa
gentlemaq of culture, an honorable lawyer,
with no flaws in his record, able, sound,
honest and worthy to be your governor. The
same description applies to Mr. Kingsbury,
except that while a lawyer by education, his
life has been devoted to the management of
extended business interests. General Wal-
ker, your candidate for secretary of state,
although now only thirty-five years of age,
made himself an honorable record in the war,
as adjutnnt general of the lamented Sedgwick.
Afterward he was fora time commissioner of
Indian affairs ; then he had charge of the
bureau of statistics, which he remodeled ;.
then,{ while under thirty years of age, he was
made superintendent of the. census of 1870,
which, thanks toghis efforts, is the best and
most Competent census ever taken;then he was
called to a professorship in the Scientific
school at Yale, from which place we . have
burrowed him to make him chief of the. im-j
per-taut bureau of awards at the centennial.
That is the sort of man you have as a candi-
date for secretary of state. And such is your
state ticket.
As a party here in Connecticut we invite
attention to our record, our platfdrm, our
candidates. We have no apologies to make.
We demand your respect, and we ask your
support.

That certain democratic papers in their
treatment of those who are not of their opin-_
ion, rely more upon insults than arguments
.is a disagreeable fact. We had hoped for a
respectable campaign, and we believe that
facts and reason will have more weight this
year than invidious rhetoric. Let us address
ourselves, then, with the former to those
with whom a sound financial policy can be
honorably and earnestly discussed.
It is a generally admitted and undisputed
fact that while the republican party is not al-
together frec from inflation elements, nine-
tenths of the inflationists are in the democratic
ranks. All important elections in which the
finance police stood in the foreground have
been conducted by the republicans and inde-
pendents, and the defenders of hard-money
against the democrats as the supporters of in-
flation. We recognize with pleasure that in
the accepted platform of the democratic
national convention some progress has been
made in this respect. It pronounces in favor
of hard-money,—-only in theory, it is true,
but even that is some gain in comparison
with the democratic state platforms of this
and the preceeding year, and we hid it wel-
come. But as the first practical measure for
the carrying out of this hard-money theory,
the democratic platform proposes—What ?
The repeal of the resumption clause of the
act of 1875, which fixes the resumption of
specie payments in the year 1879. "
With respect to the resumption act of 1875,
we criticised‘it freely at the time, but in its
details providing for the bringing about of
specie payments it was not strong and expre'ss
enough. On the other hand, however, we
cordially praised it for the reason that the
law settled the promise, and therein the duty
of the government to begin at a certain time
the redemption of the paper money indebted-
ness. In this promise this express recogni-
tion of an exactly defined duty of the gov-
ernment a great gain was made, for the dis-
cussion about specie resumption thereby
stepped over from the kingdom of generali-
ties into the domain of the defined.
If the'law which contains this promise was
not perfect in all its details then there re-
mained but one duty for every honest sup-
porter of a hard money policy, namely, so to
perfect these details that they should prove
adequate to the purpose. But what does the
democratic platform propose ? Not to com-
pletc the law and render it sufficient for the
accomplishment of its object, but in a word
to recall that promise. And what does the
repeal of the resumption act signify ? Noth-
ing less than the open repudiation of a prom-
ise given by Congress in the form of a law of
a duty solemnly recognized by the United
States government.
The reason which the democratic platform
assigns for this repudiation,is that this prom-
ise of resumption in fact stands as a “bind-
erance" in the way of pia'ctical resumption.
We take the liberty to say that this is con-
summate nonsense. But it is something
more than mere nonsense; it is a very trans.
~parent evasion to cover up a step of which
every. honest hard-money man must be
ashamed as a piece of deceit and treachery.
4 Everybody knows that the repeal or the
resumption act has been the battle cry of the
inflationists for the past two years. In Con-
gress, at every opportunity, they have made
this repeal the goal of their exertions, and in
every one of their state platforms they have
stoutly demanded the same thing. And now
come the friends of hard money into the
democratic national convention and agree to
himplef'siafi'bmse.
If the democrats should succeed to power,
the repeal of the promise of resumption will,
in conformity with their platform, become
their very first step. The inflationists will
eargerly lead on the attack and the democratic
friends of hard money will assist them in it.
And what more ? The democratic platform
speaks of a host of other things by which the
way for resumption of specie payments
must be prepared, as economy, etc. Now
that is charming. But we know this talk.
We heard it during the Ohio campaign of the
preceeding year, from the lips of Messrs.
Ewing, Pendleton, etc. The'same arguments
were used at that time to persuade the peo-
ple that the resumption of specie payments
must not be thought of for a long time still
to come. What at the time, then, served as
a ground against resumption we behold now
in the democratic national platform as a
means for its accomplishment. No' right
thinking man can come to any other conclu-
sion than that this plathrm, with its express
repudiation of a promise made in the form of
law, is, in spite of all its beautiful rhetoric
about harmony, nothing else than a conceal-
ed, and indeed a very miserable concealed,
compromise with the inflationists. This
compromise appears still more clearly in the
choice of candidates. That -Mr. Tildcn is a
bard-money manywe behave. That he would
make every exertion to carry through a
sound financial policy we accept as true.
Whether he would succeed amid the too-
powerful inflation elements of the western,
and southern democracy we doubt. But the
democratic conventiOn has placed by his side
as the vice-presidential candidate Mr. Hen-
dricks. Who is Mr. Hendricks ? As is
universally known, he is the pet candidate of
the infiationis'ts. If, then, Mr. 'Tilden should
be elected and then die; if. any fatal acci-
dent should befall him, what then ? Then
Mr. Hendricks, the leader of the democratic
inflationists, would be the President of the
United'States. That might be termed a far-
fetched possibility, but it. is not so very far-
fetchcd. It hasbeen already mentioned at
the head-quarters of the inflationlsts. In the
Cincinnati Glimmer-salt, among its correspon-
dence, we-find a statement of the reasons for
the nomination of Mr. Hendricks to the Vita:-
presidency. The writer says, among other
things :, “A delegate from New York as-
sured me of his convietio'n that there was
no doubt of Mr. Tilden’s? election." He
added, “Mr. Hendricks will not lose anything
by accepting the nomination. Tilden will
not live through his term of office, if indeed
he survives till election day. Mr. Hendricks
will be president within two years, and in
four we can easily elect him." Mr. Hen-
dricks has accepted the .nomination. That
Mr. Tilden, to use a mild expression, is not
a robust man, every one who is acquainted
with him knows. Several presidents who
were much stronger than he, have died before
the completion of their term. In case then
of a democratic victory, there would stand
between the presidential chair and the leader
of inflationists only one rather feeble human
life. That is, at any rate, a fact which no
one can deny.
1f then there are friends of hard money
who can compose themselves in the presence
pf an express repudiation promirga, made in
the form of a law, and of the possibility of a
President Hendricks, let them reconcile it to
their ’consciences. o. s.

WOO DWARD.
We copy the following extracts from the
Tribune of Friday :— _ '
Detectives Dilks and Keely returned to
Chicago, arriving there at 8:30, p.‘ m., and
on Tuesday morning called on Woodward
again. He scat for his laWyer, ex-‘Senator
Ward, who examined the papers ‘of the de-_
tcctives. The latterthen said they would
call for Woodward at 4:30 p. m., to start for
New York. At the hour n‘a‘med they drove
with Woodward in a carriage to .the train
which left Chicago at 5:15 p. m. The party
occupied one compartment of a dining-coach,
in whichthey slept and took their meals,
never leaving the car until it reached Jersey
City. Detective Dilks said yesterday that
the trip was a very pleasant. one. Wood.
ward was most gentlemanly in all their inter-
course, and was not treated like a prisoner,
though under strict surveillance. He was
allowed to walk by himself in the street, and
so treated that no one on the train or in the
same car suspected that he was a prisoner.
He talked much of New York, from which
he had been 'absent for six years, ”king
many questions about the city and its changes
but never spoke of his old friends, his former
life, or his own affairs, always changing the.
subject when these matters were approached
in conversation. It is customary at night
for an ofllcer to sleep with his prisoner, the
two being handcuffed together, but at Wood-
ward's request he was allowed to sleep alone
in the upper berth, the detectives taking.

party arrived at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station in Jersey City about 9:30 a. m. yes-
terday. -
' woonwurn’s ARBAIGNMRN'I‘.
The officials at the District-Attorney’s ofllce
had been very reticent in regard to the move-
ments of Woodward upon his arrival, but
the idea that he would be taken to the office
for commitment appeared to have suggested
itself to a number of persons, who loitered
about the entrances of the building. Wood-
ward had been sitting quietly in the District-
Attorney’s private oflice, however, for about
two hours before the crowd was aware of it.
Soon after 11 o'clock Woodward, accompan-
led by his counsel, William R. Smith, en.
tered the caurt-room of the GeneralSessio‘ns,
Phrt I.,‘ and took a sent within 'the bar.
The proceedings in the pending case were,
suspended, as is frequently done during the
sessions of the court for the purpose of at;
raigning prisoners at the bar. Two or three-
prisoners were called upon to plead to indict-
ments for petty offences, and the customary
questions were put and answered, when the
clerk, Mr. Sparks, called but, “Elbirt A
Woodward to the bar,” and the prisoner
promptly arose and bowed to the court. The
usual interrogatories were then put and an.
swered : , '
“ You stand jointly indicted with William
M. Tweed in five indictments for forgery 'in'
the third degree. Do you demand a trial?”
Afi “Yes, Sir." .
Q. “How do you plead 7’” A. “Not
guilty.”
Q. “Have you a counsel '1’” A. “Yes,
Sir" (pointing to Mr. Smith).
Woodward remained standing during the
examination and bore the steady stare of the
crowd without flinching, although he betray-
ed a slight nervousness in the movement of
his2 hands. His answers were given in a
clehr, firm voice, and his hearing was marked
by the courtesy and politeness which charac-
terized him years ago. In general appearance
be here a resemblance to a young English
tourist. He was dressed in a brown plaid
business suit and fancy colored shirt. His
blonde hair, worn short and parted in the
"miMhi-mumhe, goatee, and gold
eye-glasses Completed every stylish make-mi
and gave him somewhat of a jaunty air. His
former trim and compact figure had grown
broader and stouter and verged on corpulence,
although his face was bronzed with open-air
exercise and had a more healthful look than
is usual in- high livers. It was remarked by
those who remembered his appearance several-
years ago that he had grown old very rapid-
ly in his exile, but there were few men in the
court-room who looked as young at 35 as
Wo‘Odward at 42, which was the age he gave
on being registered at the Tombs.
AT run roams.
As soon as the examination was finished,
Assistant District Attorney Rollins moved
for Woodward’s commitment to the Tombs,
and Judge Sutherland so ordered. * The com-
mitment had been previously pre-
pared and there was no further delay. The
prisoner walked out of the court-room be-
tween Detectives Kealy and Dilks, carrying
a russet leather traveling-bag in his hand. He‘
nodded pleasantly to an occasional acquaint-
ance in the crowd and to the reporters who
had-collected about the door, and who formed
a part of his escort to, the Tombs. At the
Tombs, Warden Quinn was met and the pris.
oner was turned over to him. Woodward
wasltaken to the clerk’s desk, where he went
through the usual formula. In response to
the questions, he stated that his age was for-
ty-two years; that he was a native of the
United States and a resident of Norwalk, a
Protestant in religion. and had “no business."
As soon as he was properly registered, Wood-
ward bade good-by to Detectives Kealy and
Dilks, thanking them for their courtesy, and
was shown to Cell No. 4, in the first tier, and
commonly known as “ Murderers’ Row.”
Upon entering the cell he closed the inner
door and declined to indulge in conversation
with any one. Later in the day he was en-
gaged with his counsel for about two hours,
and received a TRIBUNE reporter and other
newspaper representatives. ' He was very
courteous in his treatment of visitors, but
seemed annoyed at any allusion to his affairs,
and refused to say anything about them. He
would not refer even remotely to his wander—
ings or to his arrest or future plans. To the
observer he did not hear his imprisonment in
the narrow cell with the composure with
which he faced the crowd in the court-room,
and he had every appearance of one suffering
from mental anxiety.
From his position as a tool rather than as
chief of the Ring, it is said that Woodward
had not made the warm friendships and at-
tachments that Tweed and others had in this
city. He was not regarded so much a dis-
penser of the spoils as a beneficiary of oth.
ers. For this reason his return awakened
little in the minds of his old associates, and
the friendly greetings were few. One man
came into the District-Attorney’s office in
the morning and left a letter addressed to
Woodward, proffering his kind offices if the
prisoner needed anything for his comfort“
This and two or three shakes of the hand
from acquaintances at the Court-house, were
all the attentions shown him. About the
courts and the various departments of the
city government there was considerable talk
over Woodward’s arrival, and different opin-
ions were cxpressed as to what it would lead.
By some it was thought that he would tell all
he knew of thefRing trausactions,but a majori-
ty believed that he would reveal nothing.
He was comparatively a young man, they
argued, and could stand a few years of im-
prisonment and then enjoy life on the money
he had saved out of the Ring stealings.
A civil Suit for $6,000,000 has been
brought against him, and hail is fixed at $3,-
000,000. The order of arrest is in the Sher-
iff’s hands, and Woodward will be arrested
immediately on that order, if he should suc-
ceed in procuring bail under the criminal in-
dictments.
How Woonwann was Caucasus—On
the day of E. A. Woodward’s arrest,as Mr. C.‘
W. Weston, who had been stopping at the
‘ Palmer House, Chicago; a few days, was
i passing through the oflloe he came suddenly
upon Woodward, who was%standing near one
iof the pillars engaged in conversation with a
igentleman who afterwardsproved to be the
ifriend, Blanodt. Weston felt that" he could
knot be mistaken in the identity of this man,
Band at once went to the clerk on duty and
ltold him of the discovery he had made, and
asked what he had better do about it. The
clerk informed him thatit would be a good
9thing to telegraph to Superintendent Walling
:of New York. This Weston did, as before
istated, and received answer to the effect that
IWoOdward should be arrested immediately.
:This dispatch Weston took to the superinten-
dent of police, Hickey, and be detailed a
detective to accompany him to the hotel to
make the arrest. The two proceeded at once
to the Palmer House and found Woodward
sitting in one of the ante-rooms coolly en-
gaged in conversation. The man was point
ed out to the detective, and Weston stepped
behind one of the pillars in the hotel office
and watched the effect of the officers inter-
view. On approaching Woodward and
making his mission known the officer was
rebuffed very coolly, but he told his prisoner
that that game would not work; he had a
dispatch for his arrest, and he must come
along with-him. Woodward rose to accom-
pany the detective, andas he did so Weston
stepped from behind his hiding place and
confronted Woodward. As soon as his eyes
fell on Weston, Woodward exclaimed : “My
God! Charlie, you are not geing to give me
away 1" He pleaded old friendship, but
Weston replied that he could not stand upon
that now, as he (Woodward) had been guilty
of crimes, and he must now deliver him up
to the law. Woodward finally ceased his
petitions to be released, and went with the
officer who had made the arrest to the central
, ”station, where he was placed in a well-guard-
ed room, but was not confined in a cell.
Pumpkin Pies.
We generally have them made of squash,
at our house, but always call them pumpkin;
it soundsiso much better. Squash is a dread-
ful name, and the man who invented it ought
to‘ have had a big Hubbard hurled at his head,
asIchabod Crane was served with a pumpkin,
'inithc‘ legend of Sleepy hollow. But pump-
kin is altogether a different word, whether it
_. adorns a bill of fare, is woven into poetry, as
”.Whittier did it in the charming'verses which
we published a few weeks ago, or is flattened
into “ pu—n-n-kin," as genial Robert Collyer
does it. It is one of the old-fashioned vege-
tables, that has held its own among, upstart ri-
vals for a hundred years. Presious little help
has the pumpkin had from ._ the propagating
gardeners who are so intent on improving na-
ture’s productions in other fields! The pump-
kin is the same honest, homespun, self-made
sort of vegetable vagabond it was when it
struggled through the corn-fieldshand dotted
the autumn landscape with spots of golden
color, in the pioneer days when luxuries were
not necessities, and wants were few. They
pretend to say that the quality has deteriora-
ted, hke some strains of blood in men whose
head this useful vegetable has most unchar-
itably been made to symbolize, and that the
flesh is white and poor compared with what
it was in former years. Yet thismay be
merely the crank of the old-time worshippers.
But, whether made “true to name," or of
sq—sh, a pumpkin pie, if rightfully made, is a
thing of beauty, anda joy—while it lasts. We
know there'is an attempt made by certain su-
per-civiliZed writers,———of the sort who order
for dinner " a little tea-ah and tout, waitah,
and a chicken's wing"——to make abstinence
from plea» test strefinemeht. Some of them
haven’t gastric juice enough to digest anything
butla weak wash of some sort; but othersare
just putting an airs.” Wé'wonldn't trust some—
of the fellows who make a virtue of abhor-
ring pie, alone with a whole one behind the
kitchen door—even at eleven o‘clock at night.
A well-made pic, of the right sort, is a good
deal more wholesome than half of the mod-
ern messes concocted as a concession to dys-
peptics, who charge upon healthful food the
natural results of their own sin and igno-
rance, in working without exercise, sleeping
too little, and neglecting other normal condi-
tions of right living.
But to return to our pies. As we hove said
before, we seem to make a cook book of these
columns, with our present supply of technical
knowledge. But we do know that fora good
pumpkin pie, you want plenty of milk, just
enough eggs, not too much pumpkin, a lump
of butter and a judicious sprinkling of spices
—principally cinnamon and ginger. The con»
coction, when ready for the oven, should be
about the consistency of good thick cream.
Pies that cut out only a little less firm than a
pine board—those that will “ wabble” with-
‘out breaking, like a piece of leather,—and
those that run around loose on your plate, are
alike to be avoided. About an inch thick
strikes us a-good depth for the filling; two
inches is better than'the miserable, thin plas-
ters one sometimes sees at boarding-houses,
that look for all the 'world, like pumpkin
flap-jacks. The expressive phrase “too this"
must have come from such lean parodies on
pumpkin pies. With the pastry light, tender
and not too rich, and a generous filling of
smooth, spiced sweetness—a little “ trembly”
as to consistency, and delicately browned on
top—a perfect pumpkin pie, eaten before the
life has gone out of it (say three hours after
baking) is one of the real additions, made by
American cookery to the good things of the
world. We have our opinion of the man
who could get up dissatisfied or cross from a
dinner topped off with a quarter-section of
such a pie.
For the first pumpkin pic of the season,
flanked by a liberal cut of creamy cheese,and
a glass of elder fresh from the press, we pre-
fer to sit down, as the French gourmand said
about his boiled turkey—“ with just two of
us; myself and the turkey l" Company is
apt to distract the attention—and subtract
from the pie.

H. II. STEVENS, Earp: .
Dear Sir—When about sux months old I was yac-
einated. The parties who were vaeclnatedfrom
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent thatI was rolled
in bran to prevent me from scratching my person.
The disease finally settled in my head. I remained
in this condition about twenty years. troubled all
the time with sores breaking in my head and dis-
charging corruption from my ear. At this time a
small kernel appeared on my neck, graduallyan-
creasing in size until a_ tumor formed of such im-
mense size I could see it by turning my eyes down-
ward. All this time I was taking various remedies
for my blood without any substantial benefit.
, I then went to a prominent hysieian in Boston,
who, during his treatment of six months, lanced
the tumor eight times, which cost me nearly 3400.
Thislel‘t me with a rough,aggruvated sorcnvithout
at all diminishin the size of the tumor, and ill a
slekly,fceble con ition. I consulted another phy-
sician in Natiek, who, alterconsldernbletune, sue-
needed In healing the sore \vrthout reducln the
.size. At this oint I commenced to use . lion-
TINE, through t e earnest persuuslon of a friend.
After I had taken this medicine about one week
I experienced wonderful sensations. . My whole
body seemed to be undergom a radical change,
until the tumor broke and lscliargou frrghtlul
quantities. ' From this time it decreased in size
until the bunch disappeared, but my neck still
bears the ugly scars of the sore and lance. I am
now healthy and strong and able to work every
a .
d I will also mention that I have been an acute
sufl'erer from inflammatory rheumatism ever since
I can remember, until commencing the use of VEG-
s'rmn. when almost immediately all rheumatic
pains ceased. This statement I volunteer for the

You Ask Mon... 1 Live.
. ; --9- -
Living friendly, feeling friendly,
Acting fairly to all men,
Seeking to do that to others
They may do to me again.
Hating no man, seeming no man ;
Wronging none by word or deed ;
But forbearing, soothing, serving,
Thus I live—and this my creed.
Harsh condemning, fierce contemning
Is of little Christian use ;
One soft word of kindly peace
Is worth a torrent of abuse ;
Calling things had, calling men bad
Adds but darkness to their night ;
If thou wouldst improve thy brother
Let thy goodness be his light.
I have felt and know how bitter
Human coldness makes the wbrld,
Ev’ry bosom round me frozen,
Not an eye with pity pearl’d :
Still my heart with kindness teeming
Glads when others hearts are glad,
And my eyes a tear-drop findeth
At the sight of others sad.
;Ah! be kind—life hath no secret
For our happiness like this ;
gKindly hearts are seldom sad ones,
i Blessings ever bringeth bliss;
‘Lend a helpingth to others,
Smile though all the world should frown ;
Man is man ; we are‘all brothers,
' Black or white or red or brown.
Man is man through all gradations,
Little reeks it where he'stands, .
Now divided into nations, _ .
Scattered over many lands ; .
Man is man by form and feature,
, Man by vice and virtue, too, .
Man in all, one common nature '
i Speaks and binds us brothers, too.

Tired Mothers.
A little elbow leans upon your knee, . .
_ Your tired knee, that has so much tobear;
A child’s dear eyes are looking lovingly ‘ t
From underneath athatch 0f tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
‘ 0f warm, moist :fingers folding yours so
' tight ;
You do not prize this blessing overmuch ;
You almost are too til-elite. pray to-night.
But it is blessedness' l_ A year ago
I did not see it as I‘do' to-day— .-
We are so dull and thankless, and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slipsaway.
And now it seems surpassing strange to me
That, while I wore the badge of mother-
. hood, 1
I did not kiss more oft and tenderly
, The little child that brought me only good.
And if, some night when you sit down forest,
You miss this little elbow from your tired
_ knee, . _ _ .
This restless,curling head from off your breast,
,Thislisping tongue-that chatters constantly;
If from your own the dinipled hand hadslip-
Perl .
And ne’er would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into their grave had tripped,
I could not blame you for your heartache
then. .
I wonder so that mothers ever fret
- At little children clinging to their gown.
Or that the footprints, when the'days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
If I could find a little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor ;
If I could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear its patter in my home once more;
If I could mend a broken cart-to-day,
To-morrow make a kite to reach the sky—
Tliere is no woman in god’s world couldfsay
She was more blissfully content than I. '
But ah l the dainty .pillow next my own
Is never rumbled by a shining head ;
My singing birdling from its nest has flown ;
The little boy I used to kiss is dead. J

An Autumn Memory.
The leaves of the maple are crimson and gold,
Ashere today in its shade I lie ;
And the pearly peaksof the cloundauprollcd,
Loom up like castles within the sky.
Afar in the distance the purple hills
Are wrapped in a veil of slender mist,
That over the landscape the wide air fills
With the tint of the tenderest amethyst.
The golden reed on the hill-side grows
Nodding its head to the winds that blow,
And the flame of the gaudy sunflower glows
In the farm yards down in the vale below.
There the river glides on its winding way,
By fields that are crowned with the ripen-
ed corn, - '
Whose broad leaves shine in the sun to-day
Like the flaming bannersthat gild the mom.
And my thoughts, like a tide that leaves the
shore . . ' ’
To wander outitowardthe'open-‘sea,
Turn back‘to an autumn gonebefope 7
In the golden days that weroaeorto me-
The maplc’s leaves have the same rich glow,
The same clouds float through the azure
sky. ' '
The same waves flow, and the same winds
blow, '
On this autumn day as in years gone by.
I see no changes, save those in me,
Since the time when we floated down yon-
der stream.
Oh l I wish that the past again might be,
Which at present seem like a beautiful
dream.
When we floated along on you river’sbreast,
Down past the woods that are flushed with
gold. .
Till the sunset burned in the reddening west,
And deepened to twilight, purple and cold.
I, with a hand on each listless oar, ,
Just guiding our course round each silvery
bend ; ,
While alone in the stern sat - Eleanor—
Can you paint me the picture, my artist
friend ?
With sometimes a song on those lips so rare—
The song you can’t paint,I know full well——
But the exquisite face, and the falling hair, '
And the love in the eyes I would have you
tell. '
I would have you paint well the graceful head,
And the girlish form in its crimson shawl.
Did you ask me just now if she were dead ?
No; years bring changes, my friend ;
that’s all.
Adown Life’s river in daylight and dark,
Through shadow and sunshine, we’re float-
ing now ; '
But each of us soils in a different bark,
With different angels to guide the prow.
