INDIAN SUMMER
MARY B. FERRY.
The tranquil. river glideth to the sea
Thro’ Purple them the golden sunbeams
fall; , '
The whitesails glimmer by us silently,—
The hush of dreamland lieth over all.
Our spirits live like flowers in the light,
Nor feel nor fear the sting of earthly pain
Nor dread the shadows of the coming night.
In peaceful rest we lie; all toll is vain.
Vain are the hopes and fe'hrs and doubts of
youth,
We dream our lives away,and ask not why;
Vain all our lofty aspirations after truth;
Today we spend in case, to-morrow die.
Why should wework when Nature's heart is
still ?
Why should we strive when Nature bids
us rest ?
We let her influence sweet our being fill,
Hushed as a child upon the mother’s breast.
To the Mountains.
All New England Railroads do not con-
verge and meet in Boston. You can reach
the White Mountains, and the ziz zag coasts
and wild‘ scenery Of Maine, State of the Con- .
fusionists by going round the Hub. But
I would’nt advise you to do it.
)URITAN CITY.
The City of the Puritans is an invaluable
fact in the list of your experiences. If you
have not learned this, the discovery will be
made painfully apparent in the depreciative
estimate put’upon you by cultivated Yankee-
dom. If you withhold your tribute to the
mental Mecca, as they are accustomed to
regard it. So sooner or later, you must pay
your respects to Boston. If you do not look
upon this shrine of intellectual pilgrimages
in just the same light the catholic devotee
does his saint; not as the reservoir of the
centrifugal and centripetal forces of culture;
you will be rewarded for your trouble in
learning by heart, the unique features of this
town. Thousands of persons, in and out of
Boston, chiefly in, inheriting with growth,
and other facts, their belief in this centre of
the universe, will regard as heterodoxy any
plea for it on other grounds.- Leaving the
high pressure atmosphere of New York, and
the roar of “elevated” trains, those “ariels”
of rapid transit flashing to and fro, it is a
pleasant place to loiter in, and the charm
deepens with acquaintance. Ever since my
introduction, it has been a point of conscience
to study, as-chances served, the characteris—
tics that distinguish it from every other city.
These, as in the case of everything possess-
ing individuality are worth noting.
HISTORIC BOSTON.
There is the city of the Past and Present,
and one must never forget that twice. when
the decisive dramas of American liberties
were played, the footlights here lighted,
blazed first the spectacle. And warning
notes of bells rung out from historic “Old
South" church towers, and Tremont Temple.
Here sounded the earliest echoes of civilized
footsteps on the continent. If anybody
had time for it, queer stories of the quaint,
God fearing folks of the “Colony,” might be
dug out from these reserved old houses,
their solid fronts groan with secrets.
THE TEA PARTY.
Tales of Colonial Belles, sermons and tea
parties, till the one memorable one, brewed
in the Atlantic. One is never weary of ad-
miring the half moon of the bay, a water
facade, like no other but the bay of Naples.
The environs of Boston, its back doors, are
lovely, beyond the scope of adjectives to
describe. Suburban parks are tame beside
the panoramas of landscapes, villas, villages,
on every side, Newton, Charleston, Dorches-
ter, Somerville, cottage crowned; proud
with “places" and the silvery threads of
rivers winding about. Albeit, you must
wrap up closely to enjoy views in the Octo—
ber air, spiced, with chili salt breezes.
Tun orTx’s CBOOK‘ED wars.
The city, antique and reverend as it is, is
confusing. Suppose, imagining it a wide
thoroughfare, you find yourself in a broken
lane butting against a brick wall. And some
of the streets are so narrow and crooked,
that you must go ’round the block'in order to
turn about, and often in .the delusion, that
you are going straight ahead, you complete a
circle of the zodiac, coming out at the start-
ing point. The vagaries of its streets, all
curves andgangles, makes Boston compact
and convenient, so that you can get from
business ‘ quarter to dwelling precincts easily,
without putting a girdle half across Massa-
chusetts. Suppose BOston has no elevated
railroads. Shecertainly does not need them,
or envy our possession of them.
THE cannon.
What if the:_Common would fill a corner
of Central Park. .These grand old trunks,
heirs of primevalg forests and primerose bor-
dered sheep paths if» you please, are worth
more in' quiet pleasure afforded than the
unkempt ,shrubberies and-showy drives, of
our pleasure ground whichrlike everything
New York controls, is._‘a?'7great institution,
nothing more. But] ldonotmean to linger
on the rehearsal of old familiar contrasts.
The truth is, while theléspirit of its growth
and champter is distinctive, and these peculi-
arities remain, this city is fast losing its
eccentriciti‘es, and groWing more like other
cities.
NEW BOSTON. .r
You discover this in theexquisite architec-
tural features of the rebuilt burnt district,
and the wide ways of the new portion of the
town. Going from the Falll River Depot to
the Boston and Lowell terminus, our hack—
maa instigated by‘a secret pride therein, led
us a devious route, taking in New Boston——
risen Phoenix like from the ashes of the old.—
We leaned from the carriage windows eager-
ly snatching at the dissolving views, ’round'
unexpected- coruers and apparent lanes,—-Of
each artistic gem of building, perfect in de-V
sign, finish, coloring, etc.
“Boston’s architects must be nonpareil’s"
I remarked, drawing back, as we lost sight
of the last glowing creation in marble.
“So youknow who redesigned this part of
the city,’."asked H . “No," "Boston's
Artists.” ' -
“When the work of rebuilding in the
burnt district was about to commence, a
Bilggestion was thrown out and took root at
ameeting of prominent citizens, architects
at al, to submit the work Of designing the
new portion of the city to the Artists. The
result is—“something better than the New
Jerusalem.” I interrupted infinitely more
practical and comfortable, with the very
' vitality-of beauty preserved. So unlike the
monstrous shells of unlucky Chicago, with—
out harmony as to outline, and void—as to
use and convenience.
TRINITY CHURCH.
The temptation is irresistible for the de-
corous visitor to pass from the museum in
Boston, to the church ’of the Rev. Phillips
Brooks, hard by. . Trinity is a sublime work
of art, presenting to the eye. rich lines.of
Its elaborate finish
color and decoration.
sets off in curious contrast, the simplicity
and homely style of the eloquent rector.
Boston sets great store by Trinity. Enter
the St. James and other hotels, and you'll
find the ecclesiastical facets repeated, “V8-
rious" in devise, to suit saloon and dining
rooms. The cfiect on the guests must be of
asobering, tranquillizing sort. But “n‘im-
ports,” pas-we are only touching Boston on
our route to the eternal hills.
CIVILIZATION IN THE WILDERNESS.
Somehow one lingers here in the friendly,
old—fashioned civilization, changed with the
electricity of cosmopolitan influences. You
“bid _ good-by" to civilization, as you
suppose, when you go into the mountain
wilderness. At least, you think you do, but
you soon discover your mistake. Civilization
goes with you. Mrs. Grundy follows you
sharply. You meet “enlightened society”
on its way from the savage wilderness, and
compare notes. Unless you take the late
Autumn, as we are doing, you encounter
traveling “hand-books" dreadfully civilized,
on their way out. An atmosphere of civili—
zation is on the mountain summits. And
civilization waits upon you, is a restraint
in the lowest—valley. But unfortunately it
proves to he civilization of the patent kind.
The pure prose of our complex living stares
at you from the grand rocks, beetling on the
road to the summits, pl'icarded with adver-
tisements of patent hitters. The “elegant
hotels,” which take on its most malicious
and virulent forms, on this circuit, strength-
ens your inability to forget the things most
incongruous, with the‘ glorious variety of the
beautiful you have been taught to look for
among the mountains.
THE ooxwar's.
One of the orthodox tracks to the moon--
tains, is through the village of North Con—
way, a distance of 137 miles from Boston.
Our path deviated to the ancient city of
Portsmouth, which was enlivened by the
crowds of tourists from Maine and elsewhere,
fleeing from the woods with the first crimson
signals hung out in the forests. .On the
“blue water” line, that bunch of isles of
shoals. Appledore and its kindred, invite
loiterers to the haunts of Celia Thaxter’s
verse. But its a good rule to deviate only'on
the 'home stretch. Some of the beauty of
Conway impresses you before you reach your
run, in company with the traveling parties
who pleased, entertained, or disgusted you
in the train, whom you supposed were per-
sons only “enpassant,” in a car. They awake
other emotions when you discover they are
bent on the same routes you have chosen,
and in all likelihood they will come out at
the other end in the same car with you. As
you look from the porch, “the broad piazzas,"
——in the slang of the hotels—or walk down
the one higway, in the mellow dusk of an
occidental sunset, (a peculiar atmospheric
effect of this high latitude) the beauty of the
happy valley grows upon you. The circle of
hills slowly turns black, and the intervening
level is dim with shadows. But you must
see North Conway from the hilltops, to
drink in its charmed repose.
ascnn'r OF Knanssaon.
The first thing you are expected to do here
is to climb up Keai'sarge. In his book of
the mountains, Starr King calls it 'Kearsarge.
Unlike most performances “set” for tourists,
it is worth doing. You may do it on foot
if you are spare of limb and m'uscularly flex-
ible, though the way is steep and rough with
boulders. But a stout party, rather scant of
breath, must do the ascent on horseback.
“But four ladies have done it afoot this
season, mum” says ourcivil intelligent guide,
and them, leastways .three of ’em, hcv‘
climbed ’mJug the Alps ’n they kerried
Alpcn stocks, they called ’em. You’ll see
more a horseback mum. And so we did—
morc than memory can reprint—more pic—
turesque and varying landscapes, than the
artist’s brush could reproduce in a life time.
One’s attention of the timid might, be wholly
absorbed, from the bottom of the mountain
to the top, and back again with two things.
First an anxiety as to the steadfast nature of
your seat in the saddle, consequently the
safety of your precious self, and second,
wonder that any animal with four legs or
two, can go up or down these so—called
paths which, to the untrained eye, fail to
appear as such. But your attention is soon
too engrossed with the fine views of the
sleeping village at the foot, and the opening
vistas of hills, to care for anything else. An
effect of respitness belongs almost equally
with a subtle difference in the impression, to
a perspective of distant mountains, valleys,
and far sea levels.
spreads out as smooth as a floor, in a deep
pan shaped circle, the mountain ranges.
forming its rim, while the Saco‘s bends and
curves glimmer here and there among clumps
of trees, and clusters of houses, till lost in
remoteness. The best survey of North Con-
way is not had from the top of Kearsarge,
but from a spot one-third of the way up.
From a point one-half the distance you ob
tain the finest sight of all the hills. In addi—
tion to these open spots to “sight from,"
there are caught through trees and shielding
foliage. delicious glimpses, suddenly and
instantly photographed in memory. Moun—
tain experts declare that the views in all di-
rections from the summit of Kearsarge, are
infinitely surpassing those from the top of
Mt. Washington—monarch of mountains.
And the cost in filthy greenbacks, of doing
the one, is one-fourth that of the other.
From the lower peaks “Alps on Alps” arise,
and hills peeping over hills, are crowded to-
gether in reckless profusion. In this region
nature seems to have assembled heriTitans of
hills in pure wantonness. If economically
distributed, every considerable community
in the Union could be furnished with 'its
own special and private mountain. - Here a
peak rises in solitary grandeur. There a
cluster Of ineffectual rivals are huddled in
defeat. Long terrated ranges of mountains
line the horizon in one direction, and waves
of ridges flow in another. He aps of moun-
tains are strewed around us, while as far as
the eye can reach, gigantic furrows, asby the
ploughs of the gods, have rolled up chains of
hills Faint lines of ravines, notches, abysses
of chasms, keep apart the neighboring crests,
and the rivers and lakes, how can word
painting convey the pictures of these still
translucent mirrors, fastened in the depths of
the hills in emerald rose and purple frames,
their surfaces holding every fleeting tint,
form or shadow. They are abysses of vapor
every morning. It is delicious to watch
these with the sun’s rays, curl in cloud
wreaths up the steep heights and vanish.
ANONYMOUS NOTES.
Every elevation has its name, but were I
to repeat the list our honest guide gave us,—‘
I take it for granted he was honest, though
he could have deceived'us in the matter with
ease—the troublesome nomenclatures would
possibly confuse your mind, as much salt
did ours. We preferred to enjoy the hills
unnamed. An anonymous mountain, is just
as stupendous, sublime, awful, or whatever
term you like to append, as a mountain that
'has been formally, lawfully christened and
baptized.
scnnnnx armors.
Asflto the impression produced by the
marvels of natures bandwork which the
names represent, I am not so foolish as to at-
tempt to reproduce the after-glow in other
. minds. I leave that task to those enthusias-
tic persons, trained scenery hunters, who
have written tomes of rhapsodies on the
“White Hills,” “Switzerland of America,"
etc. It has been my-fortune to discover that
every celebrity, personal. or material is dis-
appointing at first sight, but these piledup
masses that confront us from the watch-
gtowers of this sentinel, at the gate of the
mountains grow upon us every hour, awaken-
ing vague almost oppressive notions of their
sternuess, eternity, and silence. You des-
cend- Kearsarge, half dreaming, striving to
separate and analyze the chaos of your. im-
pressions—at the bottom you make a flat
jump out of sentiment into realities, aroused-
by the information awaiting you, that the
mails due us have gone astray in the confa-_

SIDE SHOWS.
All great spectacles, as managers would
term first-class mountains, magnificent
waterfalls and nature’s sublime woods in
general, have their side shows. These are
inevitably failures. Lover‘s Leaps, Bridal
Veil Falls, Maidens Retreat, Love's Grotto,
and the like caves and streams are nuisan-
ces.
Diana's BATES.
One is reluctant to leave the side shows of
Kearsarge in this way, but the reasons of the
names of these things are hidden from the
patientest research. Take “Diana’s Baths.”
It would be an extremely petite goddess or
nymph, that could get herself into the.hOl-
lows made by a stream running in a series of
leaps, over a rock bed, where in places smooth
holes have been bored, by the action of
whirlpools and stones. The formation is not
a curious or uncommon one, and the scene to
us, is forever associated with profane
thoughts of the college sophomores, to whom
some of these absurd names are due.
THE CATHEDRAL.
There is the Cathedral for instance, simply
an overhanging ledge of granite, as to which
occurs the thought that it will‘one day cease
to overhang, and that it will slowly disinte-
grate and fall, what’s left of it, but I fancy
the Idea of a cathedral would never suggest
itself without assistance any more than the
defective animal on “White Horse” ledge
would reveal his identity, without up aid of
an expert. Yet persons nbt addicted to
seeing or climbing mountains, would go far
to see the "horses” or smell the mould in
the cave, one of the numerous “Devils
Dens” that levies a more important tax on
the imagination.
THE GLEN.
From Conway to the Glen, you can avoid
railroads. Your way is to charter a double
seated Concord wagon, and driver, as the
coaches are taken off the route in early Sep-
tember. It is a sixteen miles drive, overa
road full of all unevennesses, through a
wooded section with peaks and views every-
where. Mt. Katahdin brown and- grim,
seems . as flung against the sky, while - all
around loom the body guard to Mt‘. Wash—
ington, Mts. Jefierson, Adams, Madison, etc. ,
Despite the white buildings ' nestled in the
hollow of the Glen, as you reach it, the land-
scape is like the trackless wilderness. and
furnishes in a very satisfactory way, the
impression of wildness and loneliness, which
seems to be suitable to the investigation of
mountains. You become oblivious to the
effects Of autumn coloring, their glowing
tints, the minute finish of shades, their
noticeable beauty in a more level region.
The stupendous awfulness confounds your
sense of the pretty picturesque. Going to
the Glen, you will of course make the ascent
of Mount Washington by wagon. Six stout
horses are required to drag you up the eight
miles of steep inclined plane to the summit
in about four hours. The road is solidly,
firmly built, and you have no apprehension
of danger. But reversing the example of
Lot’s wife, you will not look back at the way
you have come, and see in that retrospect
how easy it seems to have slipped off at cer-
tain points, and specu‘ate upon the frightful
possibilities of such a slip. The forest
growths are dense for some distance. Then
come scant limbed trees with blasted tops.
At last, even ferns tire of the sour climate,
and there is no survival of the fittest. Yet
sweet mosses, dew drinking, grow where
there is 'an handful of soil between the
strewn boulders. We stumbled into a high.
land swamp on the topmost level, and I saw
a pale pink flower, name unknown, that had
lost its way blossoming in this desolation.
What shall I say of the scenes from the sum-
mit, skyward, earthward, seaward? It is
well worth a journey from anywhere, to see
what is to be seen here. Naturally, the first
thing looked for, is the distant ocean. One
of the finest of September days, with a blue
gauze veil drawn over it, favors us; field
glasses are brought into requisition, and the
heaving sea glimmers mystic, as the surface
of an under world, and you see specks of
vessels sailing on it sixty-five miles away.
Weary and tumultuous distances, with waves
of a troubled ocean of mountains surround
you, and you tire just a little, of the ever—
lasting hills. To the south, vapory Winni-
piseogee lays like a sheet dropped in the
cleft of ridges. The Presidential peaks
stand around in silent majesty. There are
more mountains, enough for the latest, and
all presidents to come. A suggestion thrown
out that one should be selected for the pres-
ent incumbent of the White House on this
occasion. It met with the rejoinder. “Wait
a few weeks and they will be all haze.”
Still pools fill in the niches of the hills.
Mount Monroe with its twin ponds clear as
crystal, Mts. Pleasant, Franklin and all the
other “guide book" points, lay at the right of
us. Westward it is pleasant Io look into
Vermont, and turning north-west the homely
straggling houses of Lancaster and Jefferson,
tell you that there are people and homes
here.
You had begun to think it merely a pic-
turesque wilderness. A visit to the Signal
Station was interesting, “a bonne bouche” of
the day. The Officers demonstrate their
qualifications for their lonesome work, by the
smiling fortitude with which they receive
and answer the inane questions of the sum—
mer throng Of visitors. When I hinted the
arduousness of the task to one of them, the
polite philosopher answered, “the questidns
are always the same.” The one oftenest
asked is the naive feminine query: “Don’t
you get very lonely up here ?" -We bought
copies of the daily “Among the Clouds."
proofs of the enterprise of the press at its
loftiest attainable limit, spending an hourin
the old Tip-Top House, now turned intoa
printing ofilce. We descend in the chill
sunset to the Glen House, made comfortable
with glowing fires, on all the hearths, and
empty of visitors, except a Canadian pedes~
trian party of two ladies and two gentlemen
and ourselves. Our route. out lays by the
Profile, and the Franconia ranges. People
we have met, who pretend to be on a friend—
ly footing with mountains, express a prefer-
ence for the Franconia branch of the family.
They say you can get on more familiar terms
with the mountains, in a shorter time at the
Profile. Our newspapers opened by the
evening fireside, are filled with notes of the
strifes of politics, heated issues of the presi-
dential contest. How like empty echoes it
all seems in? the shadow of the hills. We
amuse ourselves with fancying what sort Of
a mass meeting might be held on Mount
Washington. Then thought strays to that
other scene, when Satan brought the man
of J udea into the tops of the highest moun—
tains, and showed him all the kingdoms of
the earth, and the power therein.

There is a great injustice in the distribu-

all go to the venal voter who has no fixed
party Standing? Why should not the faith-
ful Democrat, whose conscience has been
subjected to the strain of voting the Demo-
cratic ticket these many years, get his share
of the large sums that have been subscribed
in New York and sent on ? Why give the

“Hancock on the Tariff.”
It is exceedingly difiicult to speak of Gen-
eral Hancock’s pronunciamento about the
tariff with any degree of respect.0ther Pres-
idential candidates have said things which
made their supporters hide their faces for
shame, amid outburts of contemptuous
laughter from everybody else. But no other
candidate for the Presidency, it is safe to say,
has ever shown such amazing ignorance as
appears in the language now attributed to
General Hancock by his supporters. Indeed,
it seems almost increditable that any man
who was Once at West Point, and has not
lived ever since in solitary confinement,could
by any possibility use such language; and
yet it is in many other respects marked by
the General's well-known peculiarities. It is
published too, by a newspaper devoted to his
cause. The Paterson Guardian, for the
avowed purpose of recommending him to
the workers in protected manufacturers of
that locality, and it embodies precisely the
argument which some of- the shrewdest but
most mendacious friends of the candidate
have been assidiously using. But this ar-
gu ment is stated insuch a form as to disclose
a degree of ignorance that is almost beyond
belief. . -
Here is a man who evidently feels that the.
declaration of his party in favor of “a tariff
for revenue only" is hurting him in the manu-
facturing towns, and he is hungry to make
some assurance that he will not do anything
to injure manufacturing interests. He has
heard some cunning supporters saying that,
after all, the tarifi question was one upon
which there 'must be difierences of opinion
arising from local interests, so that «a Demo-
crat or Republican from New Jersey must
be equally devoted to protection, and he tries
to express that idea. But how P He says:
“The tarifi question is a local question.
The same question was brought up once in
my native place in Pennsylvania. It is a
matter that the General Government seldom
cares to interfere with." Can we believe
that General Hancock does not know that
the Constitution prohibits any imposition of
duties except by‘ the General ~Government?
Is he ignorant that tariff bills have been dis~
cussed in every session of Congress for
twenty years, and that nearly twenty such
bills have been passed within that time?
Yet he says it is “a matter that the General
Government seldom cares to interfere with I"
What on earth can he mean, if he is not
miraculously ignorant ? In Pennsylvania,
where thisquestion has been a leading topic
of discussion in every political contest and at
every political meeting, in every village and
in‘cvery newspaper for many years, he says:
this question “was brought up once in my
native town." Apparently in a few words
which he caught on the subject, at that ever
memorable time when the tariff question was
brought up once, led General Hancock to
suppose that the town was about to impose
some duty on products brought in from other
towns. Hence he looks upon it as “a local
question"; if these towns and counties‘and.
States want duties, why, by all means let
them‘have what they want! With hand on
heart, and a “superb” how he assures Pater-
son that 'he will never interfere if Paterson
wants a protective tariff. That is Pater—
son’s local afiair ; “a matter with which the
General Government seldom cares to inter-
fere.”
Still, General Hancock has heard some.-
where else that the General Government is
obliged to raise some revenue by tariff. He
really thinks the amount runs up into mill-
ions. And he has heard that these duties do
protect industries. So he says: “My elec-
tion could make no difference either way or
the other. There‘has,been a'certalu amount
--millio_ns of dollars—raised by a tariff that
can be got in no other way, and that must
necessarily give protection to the manufac-
turing interests of the country." This may -
be very ignorant or very mendacious talk,
but the courtesy that is due to a candidate
compels us to assume that it is not mendac-
ious. Millions of dollars can- be raised‘by a
tariff on sugar, tea, wool, hides, and a host 3
of other articles, but those duties would not
“necessarily" nor by any possibility “give
protection to the manufacturing interests."
That is the sort of tariff that Great Britain
has. It is the sort of tarifi that a great
majority of General Hancock’s supporters
want. It is the sort of tarifl which British
manufacturers want this country to adopt
and hence it is not strange if they send
hither large sums, while their agents here
and other importers give large sums for the
campaign fund to elect General Hancock.
His party wants “a tariff for revenue only."
That means a tariff that is not for protection.
But General Hancock wishes it to be un-
derstood that he does not know the difieren-
ce.
And this is the candidate whose “broad
and ripe statesmanship" has been so loudly
vaunted! If this is stalesmausbip, there is
hardly a ten-year old schoolboy in Pennsyl-
vania who has not more Of it, or who could
not talk more intelligently ,of the “local
question” which “was brought up once in his
native “place.” No enemy has said'anything
half as severe about the ability of qualifica-
tions of General HanCock as he says of him-
self in this effusion. The workingmen of
this country do not care to vote for}: man
because-he puts on great airs of wisdom, but
they have a strong prejudice against elevat-
ing over themselves, as their ruler, charged
with care of all their great interests, a man
who know less than their own children about
those interests and , the nature of laws that
governs them. Probably it will seem to them
absolutely impossible that General Hancock
is as ignorant as he happens to' be. In that
case, they will conclude that he is trying to.
cheat them out_ of their votes to their own
harm. But they will do him injustice. The
real trouble is that General Hancock, the
Superb and the "Glorious," is a soldier—and
has not the slightest trace of fitness for any
other position—Tribune.
Governor Seymours’ little Joke.
A~pleasing incident occurred on the fast
express into New York Wednesday afternoon.
Among the passengers was ex Governor Ho-
ratio Seymour, of New York state,and Judge
Origin 8. Seymour and wife of "Litchfield,
the former having been in attendance at the
golden wedding of the latter. The party took
seats in the cars at Bridgeport. At Westport
there boarded the train Mr. and Mrs. Row-
land, a bride and groom, the latter the son of
'I'.F.Rowland of the Continental Iron Works
for many years connected with the works of
the Consolidated road in New Haven. Gov.
ernor Seymour noticed When they came into
the car that they had the appearance of being
a bridal party and asked Conductor Lock-
wood for an introduction to them. This was
of course given, and the Governor then in-
sisted upon introducing the newly married
couple to another bridal party, and escorting
them across the car he introduced them to
Judge Seymour and wife as a party who
had just celebrated their golden wedding.
The result was a pleasant party from West-
port to New York city, where the party
separated.

During Senator Conxmuc’s speech a prom-

looked at the question in that light before.”
There are thousands of other Democrats in

8110M” , . .
Some disaffected Norw'slkjdemocrst writes
to the Bridgeport Leadér pitching into Sher-
iff Sanford at .a lively-rate. , Among other
charges he assails Sinford' for having at-
tempted to defeat Sheriff Leeds 'of Stamford
after he failed to, get the democratic'nomina-
tion away from him thatyear, by accepting
a nomin'atio'n from the Labor Reformers.
The correspondent then charges that—
“He promised. a gray haired and bearded
veteran deputy inthls town the ofiice of dept
uty, and none other, if he would work tone-
cure his election. ' Agreeably- to his word
the veteran deputy almost ‘put off his shoes’
from his feet to secure a victory, but 10!
to his surprise, Dann turns up withan ofice
(arulnty, having received‘an appointment for
i ton. ..
What few hairs of the veteran’s head that
become undistinguishable from the :mass of
silver gray that covers'the wrathy brain and
curled ligfithat lies concealed beneath.
' Now, r. Editor, includin Mr. Sanford’s
career in Stamford; Scuth orwalk..West-
port, Fairfield, Bridgeport and Danbnry,.
where a great deal of dissatisfaction is'mani-‘z
tested, evidently he cannot be elected and it
will be no disappointment to us here if he is
defeated, as of right he should be, and that
by a very large majority."
Another indignant :Bridgeport democrat
writes the Standard as follows:
“It is a well-known fact in the democrat—
ic ranks that Mr. Sanford has been a candle
date for sheriff a great many years and was
always regarded by his. party as too unrelia-
ble to be placed in» nomination. It is charg-
ed that he eudeavOred to trick Sher-if! Leeds
Bulkley and Lewis out of their second nom-
ination, and after sawessively plotting year
after year he finally found ‘a party in an ad-
joining town, who was weak enough to help
him trick Sheriff Lewis out of a renomina-
tion, and obtained an election by a small
majority of 890. 'This tremendous reduc-
tion from 2,700 majority by which Sheriff
Lewis was elected was evidence of San:
ford’s extreme unpopularity with his party.
In Stamford he rejected the petition ofhis
party as he did also in Danbury, and to
Bridgeport, which furnished 165 majority
for him. he has neverlgiven any deputy. * '
* * f The recognized and felt unpopu-
larity of Sanford .w1th his party has already
caused alarm. It is-mortifying to any dem—
ocrat in this campaign to be, compelled to
vote for a man who has not sufficient regard
for his party and its interests to stand aside
when there is such an overwhelming opposi-
tion to him_as to signalizehis defeat. , .
Mr. Sanford, himselfsr-is fullynware that
defeat stares him in the’fece, and he is now,
I am informed, taking to his heels in the ru-
ral districts, and soliciting personal aid and
comfort from leadingv republicans and beg-
ging them to yotc for him. When beaten on
November 2d, as he will be. he will be a
wiser, perhaps, if not a better man.
‘ ==n==
Fifty thousand dollars is a large sum of
money for the democratic party to expend in
Connecticut. Yet that is the amount set
apart to make this state secure for Hancock,
uglish, and English, Hartford is tohave
none of it, but the democrats of New Haven,
Bridgeport and Norwalk are to be the princi-
dal beneficiaries. In some mysterious way
the fact that a great deal of money has been
raised for democratic party purposes in this
state has leaked out, and there is considera-
ble speculation on the subject among the
leaders of the rural democracy. Some from
the smaller towns have sent an unusually long
list of “doubtful" to their state committee,
with the expectation probably of being sup-
plied with substantial arguments from the
campaign fund. , Their shrewd little game
will not work this time. This money has
been raised for certain specific objects, and
it will be spent by trusted partisans in the
cities already named to swell the democratic
vote. Republican registrars in these three
tion in putting names on their lists. The
democrats are resorting ‘tocolonization in‘
Ohio and Indiana on an extensive scale, and
the same thing‘ may be attempted here. Ev
ery republicanvoter in these cities should
volunteer as an assistant to the registrar of
the ward in which he lives, and help him to
purge the list of all names which for any
cause do not belong to it. Close, careful
work in this direction done at once will
count for Garfield and Arthur, and Bigeiow
and Bulkeley in November. Keep the regis-
try lists pure and the republican party will
win a grandvictory in this state next month.

It was not an old man, with life’s journey
done,
Who laid down to rest, at the set of life’s sun
Like a sheaf of ripe wheat, all ready to reap,
Whose mission, completed, is gathered to
sleep.
Ah I no ; but a youth, and not in his prime,
Cut down all too soon by the sickle of time ;
With dreams incomplete, full of promise and
JOY.
While manhood looked out from the eyes of
the boy. '
Like a book half written, whose blank leaves
might hold
Many wondrous fthings, could the story he
told;
Like a song but half sung, whose rich notés
had thrilled
Half the universe o’er, could its measure be
filled—
A bud that was broken too soon from the
tree,
We mourn for the glory that perished with
thee;
The hopes unfulfilled, and the joys that have
fled,
In the blush of morn, with our beautiful
dead.
The aged must die! but we miss them and
weep,
Yet, we know God giveth His own beloved
sleep ;
But strength and beauty, our best promise,
and pride,
Were laid low forever, when our brave boy
died.
Oh! sad hearts, that so miss a voice that is.

Ohl mother, whose spirit with anguish is

Look up! and remember your hopes are
above,
Fulfilled in that home, whose bright watch-

THE AUTUMN OF LIFE.
Fling down the faded blossoms of the spring,
Nor clasp the roses with regretful hand,
The joy of summer is a vanished thing;
Let it depart, and learn to understand
The gladness of great calm—tile autumn rest
The Peace—of human joys the latest and the
best.
Ah, I remember how in early days
The primrose and the wild flower grew be-
side '
My tangled forest paths, whose devious ways
Filled me with joys of mysteries untried,
And terror that was more than half delight,
And sense of budding life, and longings in—
finite.
And I remember how, inlife’s hot noon,
Around my path the lavish' roses shed
Color and fragrance, and thc_air of June
Breathed rapture—now those summer days
are fled,
Days of sweet peril, when the serpent lay
Lurking at ,every turn of life’s enchanted
way.
The light of spring, the summer glow,are o’er,
And I rejoice in knowing that of me
The woodbine and the roses bloom no more,
The tender green is gone from field and
tree ; I
Brown barren sprays stand clear against the
blue,
And leaves fall fast, and let the truthful sun-
light through.
For me the hooded herbs of autumn grow,
Square-stemmed and sober-tinted ; mint
and sage,
'Horehound and balm—such plants as hc'alers
know, ,
And the decline Of life’s long pilgrimage
Is soft and sweet with marjoram and thyme,
Bright with pure evening dew, not Serpent’s
glittering slime.
And round my path the aromatic air
Breaths health and perfume, and the turfy
ground "
Is soft for weary feet, and smooth and fair
With little thornless blossoms that abound
In safe dry places, where the mountain side
Lies to the setting sun, and no ill beast can
hide.
What is there to regret? Why should I
mourn
To leave the forest and the marsh behind,
Or toward the rank low meadows sandy turn ?
Since here another loveliness I find.
Safer and not less beautiful—and blest
With glimpses, faint and fair, of the long
wished for rest.
Is it an evil to be drawing near
The time when I shall know as I am known?
Is it an evil that the sky grows clear.
That sunset light upon my path is thrown,
That truth grows fairer, that temptations
cease,
And that I see, afar, a path that leads to
peace '1’
Is it not joy to feel the lapsing years
Calm down one's spirit ? As at eventide
After a long storm the far horizon clears,
The skies shine golden and 'the stars sub-
side. '
Stern outlines soften in the sunlit air,
And still as day declines, the restful earth
growsfat'r
And so I drop the roses from my hand,
And let the thornrpricks heal, and take my
W853
Down-hill, across, a fair and peaceful land
Lapt in the golden calm of dying day;
Glad that the night is near, and glad to know
That, rough or smooth the way, I have not
far to go.
A Happy Home,
The influence of a happy home rests like
a benediction upon the whole neighborhood.
The pure unselfish love of husband and wife
is perpetual incense in which all rejoice.
The presence of a married couple who are
known to. live in cheerful harmony invites
those who have had little “misunderstand—
ings” to forgive and forget; and affords
them an ideal for future attainment. Such
hallowed wedded life has rebuked and kept
in check whole communities of free lovers
and affinity seekers. If any young husband
and wife have the spirit of philanthropy,
they can find no better way of serving their
fellows than to consecrate a home of pure
ccnnubiul love and guard it as a sacred
treasure, One of the great demands of the
time is the ennobling of domeslic life. The
children will be educated and provided for,
the church supported, and the nation safe,
as long as the home life of husband and wife
is satisfied, harmonious and complete.—.-S .

“Going it too Strong."
The Houston (Terms) Telegram, one of the
most rabid Southern and most violent Demo-
cratic newspapers, says that “large majori-
ties are an evil." Continuing it says : “When
Alabama gave 91,000 majority to the Demo-
cratic Party in the late election she drove the
first nail into Hancock’s coffin. These im-
mense Democratic majorities in the South are
looked upon in the North with a fearful sus-
picion. They think in the North that it is
time for themselves to consolidate; and they
appear to be doing it. It would be well for
the country if one or both of these s: ctional
panics would die. If both TPIIizllIl in exist-
.nce there is no telling What a few years may
bring forth. These two pal-tiedinvulwd the
country in a terrible war once, and the y may
\ do it again." .
