BE ALWAYS G jING.
The she gives ever; so the earth—
What it can give so much ’tis worth;
The ocean gives in many ways——
Gives baths, 'gives fishes, rivers, bays;
So, too, the air, it gives us breath,
When it stops giving, comes in death.
Give, give, be always giving,
Who gives not, is not living!
The more you give,
The more you live.
God’s love bath in us wealth unhcaped ;
Only by giving it is reaped;
The body withers, and the mind
Is pent up by a selfish rinp.
Give strength, give thought, give deeds,
give pelf, .
Give love, give tears, and give thyself.
Give, give, be always giving,
Who gives not, is not living;
The more we give,
The more we live. —E:cchangc.
A Carriage Trip of over two Hun-
dred Miles in Western Connec-
ticut.
To run GAZETTE :—
At the request of your seniorI furnish you
the following brief—you may safely take my
word for it, and that some of the very good
things have been sacrificed to that brevity——
account of a recent carriage trip
A preliminary trip to Ridgefield over
Sunday, was not the least interesting feature
of this delightful method of taking vacation,
Few sufficiently realize how fine a resort we
have so near in this high, healthy, and
beautiful town. If a glorious view is our
object point we may take a long journey
and not accomplish our purpose so thorough-
ly as here. It serves to show how easily we
may miss.the best things, that, although on
several occasions we had traveresed its wide
and beautiful street the crowning beauty of
Ridgefield—the sweeping view from the
ridge just a little to the west of this street
—had never before been brought to our at-
tentiop. Elevated only a few hundred feet
above the thickly settled main street it adds
by its distant and wide prospects greatly to
the enjoyment of any one who having eyes
use them and rejoice in the beauties nature
so freely-spreads out before them. It was
surprising to learn that we here commanded
a view from West rock on the east of the
Mountains on the west side of the Hudson
River. 'A description of the vii-.w in behalf
of those who can so easily command it for
themselves ought to be superfluous and—who
can adequately picture such a scene as this?
But beautiful scenery does not comprise
all of the attractions of Ridgefield. There
are several other things of more human in—
terest than that. Chief among these we
would place its old hotel with its genial host
and hostess seconded so ably by Phyllis. The
patriot might easily find in the cannon ball
imbedded in the timber of this oldhostelry
these hundred years a» sufficient recompense
for even a long journey, it might readily
serve to suggest recollections of the conflict
on which so much depended and give rise to
the fervent hope that nevermore might horrid
war come to disturbthis fair scene.
Were the people of Fairfield County alone
to appreciate not only the manifold beauties
of this place, but how much of interest
centers around its venerable hotel,bow much
of real genuine good cheer is found there in ;
how kind are those who run it; and how
nicely Phyllis can prepare a mutton chop or
good beefsteak, to the satisfaction without
doubt of even an epicure, then would such
crowds flock hither as only an oriental Bur-
nap or some other modern watering place
manager, could take care of. V
The drive to these delectable heights
through the always beautiful glen commenc-
ing abbve Cannon's and the drive back tak-
ing in that other near and commanding
station Bald Hill,might itself furnish material
and poetry that should be classic.
Our main trip was begun early in the
morning of August 14th. Our destination
was Ansonia and Birmingham and about
twenty—eight miles distant. There were two
leading routes open to us, one to Bridgeport
and then up along the Housatonic Valley, or
across country through Easton, Trumbull
Huntington. The latter was taken. The
first town mentioned is for these days far
from Railroads and its rustic features give
us sonic idea of “Ye olden Times,” but it is
in advance of some railroad towns in the fair
character of its roads, which contributed to
an interesting morning drive. But we come
to the most agreeable part of the drive at
that most tasteful and highly cultivated
farm, unequaled as we think by any place no
matter how pretentious in this country—the
Ketchum estate at Westport—which brings
to our view fields equal in beaulty and
velvety appearance to Orange County or even
to the Parks of Old England. Through
Trumbull there is more of steep ascent and
descent than in Easton and consequently
more extensive views.
When we arrive at our noonday stopping
place, Parlor Rock on the Housatonic Rail-
road, we find the improvement in the ap-
pearance'of places caused by the vicinity of
a railroad. This pic-nic groundfis worth the
the drive from Norwalk, for its own sake.
The managers of the railroad have exhibited
good judgment in bringing to notice this
romantic spot, andtby judicious expenditures
heightening its great attractions. Our af-
ternoon drive of ten or twelve miles through
mountains was accurately described before-
hand as one lying over hills and through
hollows. A smart shower, the only one on
the? trip, .but it had _long passed when we
came to the top of the ridge commanding a
view of the vally in which were clustered
theEfivs 'busy communities, Ausonia, Birm-
ingham,Derby,Shelt_on and Humphreysvilie.
It didnot seem difficult to believe that the
day might not be far distant when its enter-
prising inhabitants should fill it with the re-
sults of manufacturing successes. rivaling
old Birmingham. Mingled with this view
of smiling villages, ,were distant prospects
of ridges and high hills telling a not unwel—
come story of steep climbs yet to come.
Our stay over Sunday was made very
agreeable by the comforts of the well kept
Bassett House. We neither found nor de-
sired better accommodations all the time we
werewout. We mingled with the usual
Saturday night crowds that seem to charac—
terize New England towns, and observed
with equal interest the place and its people.
The next day we were edified by equal parts
of Congregational and Methodist teachings;
finding in the first named church a minister
possessing such unusual facility to articulate
clearly and readily the hard old Hebrew
names asscemed to amount to genius. The
singing by a church choir in the afternoon
on the green near our quarters Was very fine,
appropriate and acceptable.
0n the next day a drive of thirty miles to
Meriden was on our programme. Trying to
obtain all possible light as to our best couser
we finally rejected the well intended advice
to go through NewHaven and from there take
the valley and level road to Meriden and
chose the high and hard road over the Menu-
tain. Although we were mistakenly informed
that there were no viewson the latter; experi-
once had taught that.hard and hilly roads
were better than level and sandy ones.
Finding that we must take a crooked course,
we consulted a farmer who had also scoured
the country as a drover and by his aid were
able to turn many sharp corners in Wood-
bridgc before coming out on the straight
road through Bethany; On this we mounted
higher and higher till reaching its lofty
center we could command a distant
prospect especially to the south and
east, where could be seen the ridge
running from - it that we frequently
heard called “the Mountains running into
Canada." Descending almost as much as
we had climbed we came to a country hotel
kept in a wild nook by an Englishman at the
base of the aforesaid mountains and were
ready to do fall justice to an unexpectedly
good and substantial dinner. We rejoiced in
the afternoon that we had ordered our course
so well, for after climbing the mount-tins for
an hour, we came to a view reaching to the
hanging cliffs beyond Meriden that well
repaid us, and only regretted when too late
that we had not turned a little out of our
way to behold the view of the unlimited ex
pause of heaven and earth that it was said
could have been had at Prospect. But the
drive through the pretty town of Cheshire
compensated for our loss, and the sense of
it wholly disappeared when at last fairly
launched into the magnificent four miles
drive through the glen leading into Meridcn
on the soutliWest. This and the equally de-
lightful Lil'IVU on the next morning out of
Mei-idea through the famous Cat Hole Gap
made us enthusiastic over Mcriden roads,
We would have hailed with joy a depu—
tation of N orwalk tax payers and officials to
share this part of our journey feeling confi-
dent that in that event no longer would a
town around which clusters so much of
beauty, from which excursions of surpassing
interest can be tiken to every point of the
compass, remain contented with poor roads
at one and the same time an annoyance and
cause of expense to the traveling public and
ever increasing loss to the town as a whole.
Words would fail to do justice to the
pleasure obtained during this aftern00n, and
the next morning’s drive owing to the com-
bination of splendid roads and fine scenery.
We will trust that one or more select men,
profiting by the suggestion will try these
Meriden roads, if so, such results might fol-
low as would justify the assumption .of the
expense by the town.
We‘wili only mention that the Cat Hole
Gap is said to furnish ice to the su fiiciently
inquisitive traveler ,even in the dog days!
An early arrival enabled us to travese the
length and breadth of the city but no one
could do justice to a place in a few hours
whose industry would challenge the eager
guest of even a whole week. We left more
than satiSfied at having gone so off our di-
rect road to Litchfield. At this place one
'of those amusing incidents occurred that can
not easily be forgotten. We overtook a
young and smart servant girl apparently be—
lated walking along at professional speed who
when she finally reached her home manifest -
ed her delight at finding herself on time by a
jump and outward and sideward kicks, at
once so complex and comical as to require
the best ability of Rex to describe and that
would have made her fortune if Barnum had
been the witness. _
On Tuesday the 17th, we took the long-
est and hardest drive of all. In the morn-
ing after leaving Meriden the roads of
Southington .were found very poor in com-
parison and a long stretch of sandy road
caused us to make an early stop for rest
and dinner at Piaiuville we had this morn-
ing crosses the track of our long journey of
the Centennial year.
Over twenty miles remaining for our af—
ternoon stint demanded . an early start for its
accomplishment. We passed through the
manufacturing towns of Forestville, Bristol,
Terryville and Thomaston and were sur-
prised to find so far in the interior and away
from water courses such a continuous and
thriving settlement, for it seemed all one
place, and our surprise was made the
greater by the fact that the settlement was
not all in level places, but up and down high
hills. About three p. m. we began to leave
behind us the hum of machinery and to com-
mence the climb to high Litchfield through
the lofty town of Morris. It was to be re-
gre‘ ted that time did not permit the full en-
joyment of the romantic glen through which
we started on this ascent, but such features
of an excursion serve the beneflcent purpose
of inviting another visit, and we had
found too that justice cannot be done to
beautiful scenery except by at least return~
lug backwards over the roadsleading through
it. Drives of such a charecter leave linger-
ing memories of enchanting scenes that may
be a joy forever. _
The last part of this afternoon’s drive very
unlike the former part brought us into well
nigh unbroken communion with nature
herself; we were on the backroads of a not
very populoustown, but paradise itsalf it had
fallen in our way would not have added very
greatly to our happiness. At last we ar-
rived before the crowded piazza of the Lake
View House, and nothing we had met was so
unlocked for as the overflowing patronage
accorded this new resort, drawn too quite
largely as we found afterwards from
Norwalk. Two days were spent here where
two weeks might have been well employed,
but time enough was allowed to witness some
of the doings of a man whose lot in life
would seem to be the most enviable that can
be conceived.
A whole afternoon was given to the in
spection of the dairy and barn appurtenances
of Starr's Farm: were you to surrender a
whole page of the GAZETTE it could be
profitably filled with a detailedvaccount of
this afternoon’s sights alone. The large and
fine out-building, the sleek aod beautiful
Jerseys, the extreme ueatuess and cleanliness
on every hand, the wholesale operations of
the dairy, these and many other features of
the place would well repay a visit from a
greater distance than Norwalk. It has been
said that there is, or has been, another simil-
iar establishment finer than this somewhere
in the vicinity of Boston where the milkers
go to their work wearing kid gloves,but don’t
you believe it!
With freshened recollections of Ridgefield
we were able to make comparisons between
two towns which owing to the wise liberali-
ty of their early settlers are a credit to New
England. One can scarcely fail to see that
the present inhabitants are displaying as
much wisdom as their ancestors by keeping
in fine order their fair heritage and that they
are already beginning to reap their reward
in the influx constantly increasing of grati—
fied sight seers. Although Litchfleld is
highest by five hundred feet and though its
views are fine, the best being found a little
beyond Starr’s Farm, yet the view at Ridge-
field is superior in extent and beauty.
Ridgefield, however, has not yet enlisted as
much capital in the improvement of its
grounds and residences, a matter not to be
wondered at when we remember the intend-
ed magnificence of Litchfield which by its
ancient charter extended on the west as far
as tothe Mississippi River.
As we walked up and down the splendid
main street of this town the query f requcut-
ly recurred why are not the principal
thoroughfares of the centres of all New
England towns made _broad and handsome
like this? Are we not cheating the very
pockets'that we think we guard so well by
so carefully withholding from public and
aesthetic uses land that can be made most
valuable to the community.
On Thursday afternoon the 19th inst., we
turned home, caming as far as Woodbury.
We found the views through and beyond
Morris Centre still, finer than the . best in
Litchfield continued through the adjoining
town of Bethelem but s'topped there.
' Woodbury is a very thriving town, sur-
prisingly so considering that it' is ten or
twelve miles from any railroad; its inhabi-
l tanta are engaged in several branches of man-
ufacture. We had been cautioned against
the two hotels of the place in very strong
language and as strongly commended to the
hospitality of Mr. Downes who entertained
travelers. We found the commendation well
deserved, and the appearance of one of the
hotels indicated that the condemnation was
as well merited..
Friday afternoon we turned on our tracks
to take in once more Lake Waramaug. The
drive took us through Washington, whose
average altitude is said to be greater than
that of any other town in the State; at all
events the close day and the steep climb
proved more trying to horse flesh than any
preceding day; ,We were still cheered and
invigorated by a fine country and extensive
views, but not however, through long dis~
tances as on the day before. We found the
town centre growing and apparently striving
to rival Litclifield as a watering place. The
town can claim in the beauty of the Lake,
which it borders a fair set off to the'size of
Bantam Lake. As we gave your readers
some account of this lake three years ago we
will forbear now, only mentioning that the
well kept Hopkins [louse founded by the
Deacon is maintained with all the good cheer
and inviting hospitality intact, by his son.
It appeared before and equally now as desir-
abilc a place to stay as any that could be
imagined. » Certainly it would seem so to
those who experience no serious difficulty in
sacrificing fashion to ; comfort unfortunately
the showers and mist prevents an eagerly ex-
pected trip to the top of the Pinnacle which
Dr. Cuyler calls the highest point in the
stateifand this also furnishes good reason for
another trip to Lake W aramaug.
On Monday, we started out on the road
to Danbury, through New Milford, this also
formed a part of the previous trip. We made
a detour in the afternoon, however, overa
range difilcult to ascend, which probably
forms a part of the town of Bridgewater and
escaping the dangerous track crossings of
Broohfield, at last arrived in Danbury. ‘ Our
host received as with open arms, heaped on
us every variety of enjoyment that wit.or
wisdom could suggest. It might not be well
to enumerate all these nor to mention the
name of the host, but we will try to satisfy
the claims of justice by simply alluding to
the magnificent music,botb vocal and instru-
mental, selectcd from the Weird Jubilee
Songs and other more unaccustomed sources
and rendered in the highest style of art.
When time failed as and it was necessary to
hasten away this host of ours placed every
obstacle in our path but we forgive him On
account of tender memories of Auld Lang
Syne.
Should any citizen of Norwalk be afraid
to boast that he can furnish, commencing
from Borough or City, the finest twenty mile
drive to'be obtained in the State, let him take
the trip through the Weston Den and Read-
ing Glen and he will fear no longer.
Those who think that the South is all
right, or would be if it were only let alone,
might find food for thought in some of the
school books from which the rising genera—
tion of that section is taught. The “New
School History of the United States,” now in
its eleventh edition, is a specimen. This
book has the commendation of a host of
teachers and school superintendents in the
South. To the youth the doctrine of Nullifi-
cation is taught as a traditional right, by this,
reference to John C. Calhoun. Thebook
says: “He was the great reprefirtive of
the South; and it was the chief aim of his
political life to strengthen the power of the
South in the government, so that she might
be enabkdsto resist the cncroachments of the
North upon her rights.” Other specimens
from this book are as follows: “At the Pres-
idential election in the fall of 1860, Abraham
Lincoln, a sectional candidate, was elected."
The Secessionists are described,while leaving
the halls of Congress, as having “hurled de-
fiance at their enemies, who had driven them
to the last resort of honor." The Union army
is constantly referred to as "the army of con-
quest.” Education is what the South most
needs, but not such education as this.
Free Seats in Churches
A strong petition was offered in the Epis~
copal Diocesan Convention, in this city last
week, praying for the abolition of special
rights to pews in churches. The petitioners
believe that the practice, never prevalent
until within a few years,.of renting pews and
seats in advance smacks a great deal of sharp
business. They claim. that every church
should belong as much to the poor as to the
rich, and that a man's spirit, instead of his
clothes and his money, should determine
where he may sit or kneel. This may be
Keep your Tempers, Gentlemen,
One and All.
For the Gazette.
As we are fast approaching the morning
of the 2d of November, election day, it may
not be amiss to urge upon the voters of both
parties the necessity of keeping cool, and
allowing no hot words of dispute to develop
into unkind blows. These are not the kind
of arguments that will bring success to either
party.
Let every man vote the ticket his cons-
cience‘endorses, whether he be Republican,
or Democrat. Of course being Republican
in sentiment ourselves, we naturally desire a
preponderance of Republican votes; not
from selfish motives, be it understood, but
from the profound conviction that at this
critical stage of our nation’s history, the Re—
publican policy is the only one calculated to
promote our best interests, and maintain our
free institutions, without whose beneficent
teachings we must submit to a demoralizing
process of increased corruption, and anarchy,
that must ultimately result in a decline of
civil, religious and educational growth, so
dear to us an American people, anxious for
advancement in all branches calculated to
refine and elevate; and secure the utmost
benefit to the laboring classes, who are cor-
rectly termed the “bone and sinew” of this
Republic.
Let us pause a moment before the fog of
election excitement begins to obscure our
judgment, and ask ourselves this all import-
ant question. Am I, who claim to be a
royal citizen about to take into my band the
ballot that shall seal my decision, doing
what God and my conscience tells me it is
right I should do? As an honest man am
I not bound to support, as far as in me lies,
those measures I deem of vital importance as
relating to myself individually, as well as to
the country I love? We are one common
brotherhood, still, perpetuating the princi
pies upon which our hopes as one common—
wealth depend. Wby bring personal ani-
mosity into the canvass, or seek longer to
belittle the character of either presidential
candidate by indulging in words alike uh,-
worthy, and undeserved. It is principles,
not men, we are bound to consider.
Why not consider these fairly then, and
manfully. There is such a strong undercur-
rent of this same spirit of manliuess running
through American Society that, although we
have laughed at the political “mud throw—
ing,”—(and cheered when it stuck too, I’m
sorry to say,) our better and higher nature
denounced it as beneath the dignity and
importance of a serious contest like the pres-‘
cut.
The real patriot is he who is willing and
anxious to forego such opportunities, and
bury his personal likes or dislikes in the,
supreme question of national interest, which
after all is our own interest intensified.
We have no sympathy with those who
have attemptedjto injure the reputation of a
gallant soldier such as General Hancock was
acknowledged to be, for the purpose of ad-
ding to the importance of our own republi—
can candidate, who, it must be conceeded,
has been equallylexposed to all the merciless
shafts of hatred, and ridicule. We must go
beyond the candidate, and contemplate ser-
iously, the party behind him. General Han-
cock, having been educated in such schools
as were intended to develop his military
qualities, chiefly, to the neglect of whatever
administrative capabilities he may pdssess
naturally, must, in all candor, be regarded
more as a soldier than a statesman.
It is reasonable to presume, therefore, that
notwithstanding we may regard him as a
fair and honorable representative of a thoro—
ughly corrupt party, his want of the knowl-
edge of true statesmanship and executive
genius, must either be attributed to deficient
capacity, or as the indication of a willing-
ness to be guided by those of his party who
have the democratic canvass in their hands.
He has written his second letter, and is, so
we are told, about to add an amendment, in
consequence of the general dissatisfaction
expressed, regarding his true meaning Is not
this significant.
Here we are, on the eve almost, of a most,
important election, and General Hancock’ii‘
ideas regarding the duties of free govern-
ment are either not sufilciently organized-to
admit of his expressing himself ‘intelligently
concerning the solem responsibilities belong—
ing to the oflice of Chief Magistrate, or else
he is already submitting to the wire pulling
and importuuities of his democratic con—
ferers and resorting to ambiguous terms to
cover the real intentions of those who have
nominated him as their head.
. Think of this you democratic laboring men
of Connecticut. Democracy lays its pur-
hard doctrine to the wealthy saints and sin-
ners who are glad to pay any price for pews
that suit them, but the agitators of the ques-
tion are quite right in supposing that the '
present system keeps thousands of estimable
people out of the churches. To go to any
prominent church regularly is almost impos—
sible to a man who is not in comfortable cir-
cumstances, for the tax in the shape of pew
rent is practically prohibitory; whereas even
in church an American never is happy unless
he is just as good as any one else and pays
his own way.—N. Y. Herald.
Remember,
Jefferson Davis was always, and is now, a
Democrat and in favor of Hancock and
English.
A Stamford gentleman met one of the pro-
prietors of the silver plating establishment
recently destroyed by fire in Waterbury, on
Tuesday last and said: “ Mr. Holmes, are you
going to rebuild your factory ?" “Not till

whether we are to have protection, before I
invest a cent in rebuilding.” On Wednesday
afternoon the same gentlemen met and the
factory proprietor said 'smilingly : “ The
news from the West has made me conclude
to put one hundred men to work on that fac-
tory to—morrow morning.” Five hundred
men have been employed in it.

good we have done the Democrats we make
no charge, and for any damage we have
done the Republicans we hope to be forgiven;
it has not been serious in- either case. Our
ambition to run a daily newspaper has been
satisfied for the present. We have had the
experience; we have had a baby and it is
dead. . . . If anybody on the Hill hears
to-night any particularly sonorons snoring,

way into the stronghold of civil liberty; and

Listen to the voice that rang out clear and
true from a New York pulpit a few days
ago—“The right hand of the Democratic
party is the church of Rome.” Do not the
words find an echo in your own mind? and
even while dwelling in friendly intercourse,
side by side, with nothing but the most gen-
erous sentiments of good will toward the
masses who, in their blind ignorance and
superstition are consientiously following the
teachings, and clinging to the traditions of
the church they love, even as we cling to and
adore the teachings of our more exalted
christianty—consenting to be guided and 'in-
structed by an ecclesiastical power that is

blind, or are seeking to ignore a question
that is forced upon us by the aggressiveness
of a party whose controlling instinct is the
establishment of priviliges that have no more
right to exist on American soil than any
other treaspnablc and antagonistic power.
Therefore, we repeat, when you go to the
polls on election day carry in your hand a
ballot that God and your conscience, as well
as your common sense approves; and in so
doing remember, that is not your sentiments
alone, that are embodied in the vote that
shall determine the welfare of the nation, but

Be not deceived, then; cast the weight of
your influence with the party whose watch—
word is liberty, and whose motto is the de-
fence of the entire who, their rights, and
their- industries.
And when the flag that so many of you
fought under shall continue to float in
triumph over a land of freedom, and of
Christianity, look up at-its stars and stripes
as they wave joyously in the air, and com-
fort yourself with the thdugbt that your hand
and your vote helped to preserve and uphold
it, untarnished, and forbver free from the
stain of further insult at. the hands of an un—
scrupulous and vindict've so called Demo—
cracy. I
Let me tell you that the Democracy your
fathers believed in, and that you are consi—
entiously trying to believe still exists, died a
disgraceful death, with the firing of the first
gun on Fort Sumptcr. Push honest men to
the wall if you will, to make way for our
insolent and loud mouthed Kelly’s, and our
nearer, and more insignificant law breaking
Donovans; but bear in mind every time you
elect such men to office you strike a blow at

Fromt New York Tablet.
Breaking Away ., rom Bondage.
It has been a trite saying with the leaders
of the Democratic party that “we need not
trouble ourselves about the Irish; we are
sure of them anyhow.” This, to say the
least of it, is not very complimentary to our
intelligence, or to a proper sense of the duties
we owe to our adopted country. Indeed, it
must be extremely humiliating to our pride
to find that any political party should have
foreclozed a kind of political mortgage both
on our souls and bodies. We say souls, for
it has been the practice to lash into the party
traces any wavering Irishman with the sneer
that because he was a bad Democrat he must
naturally be a bad Catholic, as if religion and
politics had anything in common.
With all the pretenc'es of love and regard
so gushingly expressed before election times
for us by the Democracy, the painful and
humiliating fact remains that in the distribu—
tion of important ofllces or nominations they
completely ignore us, while, after the elec-
tions, they treat us with sneering contempt
or pitying indifference. ' True, the Irish
laborer can generally secure work on the
streets at the liberal remuneration of a dollar
a day, the half of which he is expected to
spend in the liquor store of the alderman
who had him appointed to‘his lucrative posi-
tion; but as to give nominations for high
offices to Irish citizens, or even citizens of
Irish descent, such a thing is never to he
thought of. Should the name of an Irishman
be mentioned as a nominee for the mayoralty
or governorship, such a presumptuous sag-I
gestion would be at once frowned down, the
leaders openly asserting that such a candidate
.coiiid‘iiot bé elected; as "being 'an' 'Iiishmii—n’ -
and a Catholic, and will cite to you the case
of Senator Kernan, whom sixty thousand
Democrats scratched on account of his creed
and nationality.
This is a painful truth and one that we
Irish should take deeply to heart. We ask
in no partizan spirit, for the Tablet is not a
partizan journal, if the Irish were only half
as devoted to the Republican party as they
have been to the Democratic, would-they
not have been better cared for and more res-
pected, politically, than they are at present?
—for it must be acknowledged that when
the Republicans take up an Irishman they
are influenced in their selection by his intell-
gence and fitness for office, while the Demo-
cratic standard of an Irishman’s qualities is
grounded upon his unsavory antecedents
and his rowdy propensities to whip his asso-
ciates into line.
It must be understood that we are not
writing in the interest of one party or the
other, but we feel so indignant and disgusted
at the patronizing assumption of the Demo-
cratic leaders towards our Irish fellow-citi-
zens that we cannot refrain from speaking
the truth and from exposing the sham hypo—
crisy that tries to bulldoze the Irish voter as
if he were an irresponsible being who requir-
ed some Democratic Mentor at his side to put
brains in his head and a ballot in his hand.
This insolent treatment of the Irish is
every day becoming more marked, and their
Democratic masters are fast shelving them
to make room for the Germans and Jews.
This was painfully exemplified during the
late Tammany demonstration, when the so-
called “Irish Stand" was run by a set of
shamless tricksters, swaggering bullies, polit-
ical hacks, whom no decent man would asso-~
ciate with. .
Some high-toned Irish Democrats, who
have been employed as speakers, have in~
formed us that they are disgusted with their
treatment, for, while well paid spouters and
ex rebel ’generals have been sent to address
large meetings, they are shelved away in
some inland village which they can scarcely
find out; they further assured us that only
that they would retire from the campaign in
disgust. ’
This patronizing intolerance of the De—
mocratic leaders is already bearing its fruit,
and thousands _of disgusted Irishmen are-
enlisting under the Republican and Green-
back banners. We say emphatically that we
do not regret this, for as soon as our Irish
citizens break loose from the party lash of the
Democratic leaders they will be courted and
respected by all political parties.
But in the past, while the Republicans
despised their slavish submission to the
Democratic party, the latter quietly ignored
them, for were they not sure of the Irish
vote anyway ?
The patriotic record of the Irish people in
this country entitles them to the right of
holding their heads as high as any other
class of citizens. Have not Irisbmen dis-
tinguished themselves and frecly'shcd their
blood in the War of Independence? When
Secession raised her foul head, and when a
living torrent of patriotism rushed to death
to save the Union, foremost among them
were the Irish, and whole companies, regi-
ments, and brigades of our race were found
in the red carnage of battle with the green
flag of Ireland and the glorious Stars and
Stripes floating over them. ,
With such a bright and brilliant record it
ill becomes the Irish to allow themselves to
be the slavish'dupes of any political patty,
whether Republicans or Democrats.
Though we deprecate the formation of
sectional parties, we must certainly disclaim
against the assumption of Democratic lead-
ers that they own the vote of the Irish, for
the latter are free American citizens, fully
competent and intelligent enough to exercise
their judgment in the selection of their cau-
didates without fear or intimidation, or
without being driven to the polls, like so
many soulless slaves, by the party lash of the
Democratic leaders and their Southern sym—
' pathizers.

Respectfully dedicated to the Bigelow Bat-

—
, Ride all '
us: House and Mill, a few rods south of Isaac, g antly Onward, 0 Sh'p Of State!
Fling the banner of victory out to the breeze—
Let thy prow cleave the billows of discord,
and hate,
And triumph while sailing o’er turbulent
seas.
Let the peunon of Liberty float evermore,
From thy masthead, that carries its colors
on high,
In token of freedom—from center to shore,
And aloft, till it touches the dome of the
sky.
No treacherous harbor shall shelter, or claim
Thy freightage of love, and good-will to
mankind—
The glories, and honors that dwell in thy
name
Shall never a grave in Democracy find.
With brace Indiana, just wheeled into line,
We’ll swell the loud chorus of glad jubilee l
The old Flag of our Country forever shall
shine,
Undimmed in its lustre, from Maine to the
sea.
Hurrah! for the free institutions, that stand,
Like beacons of light. in the darkness of
Sin;
Their rays shall dispel rebel gloom from the
land,
And treason, once conquered, shall gladly
come in;
And kneeling coutritely, shall quench with
its tears,
The flame of its anger, on Liberty’s sod;
:While up from the ashes of hatred,and sneers
Shall rise the old prayer of thanksgiving to
God. Marriownn.
MISS Ml N ERVA’S DISAPPOINT-
ME N'I‘.
BY MRS. n. T. CORBETT,
Yes, Debby, ’twas a disappoiniment; and
though, of course, I try
To look as of I didn’tmind it, I won’t tell you
a lie . '
Ye see, he’d been a comin'stiddy, and our
folks sez, sez they,
“It’s yen, Minervy, that he’s arter; he's sure
to pop some day."
He’d walk in with the cvenin’ shudders, set
in that easy chair,
And praise my doughnuts, kinder sigbin’
about a bachelor’s fare. .
And then his talk was so improviu,’ he made
the doctrines plain,
And when he’d p’int a moral, allers looked
straight at Mary Jane.
She’d laugh, and give such silly answers that
no one could approve;
But, law! the men can‘t fool me, Debby—it
isn‘t sense they love.
It’s rosy cheeks and eyes a-sparklin.’ Yes,
yes, you may depend
That when a woman’s smart and handy,
knows how to bake and mend,
And to keep her house and husband tidy,
why, the fools will pass her by,
Bekase she’s spent her youth a-learnin’ their
wants to satisfy.
Now, Mr. Reed was allers talkin’ of what a
wife should be,
So, Debby, wasn’t it a wonder I thought his
hints meant me? .
And then when Mary Jane would giggle, and
he would turn so red,
Could you have guessed that they was court-
in,’ when not a word was said?
It all came out at lastjfiso sudden.
Wednesday of last week,
When Mr. Reed came in quite flushed.Tbinks
1, “He means to speak.”
’Twas
I’ll own my beait beat quicker, Debby ; for
though, of course, it's bold
To like a man before he offers, I thought him
good as gold
Well, there we sot. I talked and waited: he
hemmed and coughed awhile;
He seemed so mest oncommon bashful I
couldn't help but smile.
I thought about my pine-tar balsam that
drives a cough away, -
And how when he was fairly married I’d dose
him every day.
Just then he spoke: “Dear Miss Minervy,you
must hev seen quite plain
That I’m in love—” “I hev,” I answers. Sez
he—“wz'th Mary Jane."
“ What did I do ?”I nearly fainted ‘twas such
a cruel shock,
Yet there I had to set, as quiet as ef I was a
rock, -
And hear about her “girlish sweetness” and
“buddin’ beauty” too.
Don’t talk to me of martyrs, Debby—I know
what 1’ve gone through.
Well, that’s, the end. The weddin’s settled
for Jane, he‘s in such haste:
l’ve given her the spreads I quilted, so they
won’t go togwaste, '
I'd planned new curtains for his study, all
trimmed with bands of blue;
I’m sure her cookin’ uever’ll suit him—he's .
fond of tatin’ too.
Well, no, I wa’u't at meetin’ Sunday. Idou’t
find Mr. Reed
Is quite as edify’in' lately; he can‘t move
me, indeed.
And Debby, when you see how foolish a man
in love can act,
You can’t hev see-b a high opinion of him,
and that’s a fact. I
“I don't look troll .9" Spiing weather, mebbe;
it’s gettin’ warm, you know,
Good by ; I’m goin’ to Uncle J otham’s to
spend a week or so.

F orney has some first-class prophecies of
his own to fall back upon to reconcile him
to Hancock’s defeat. On June 1, 1868, in a
description of the Decoration Day observan-
ces at Arlington on the (lay previous, written
by him as Washington correspondent and
published in his Press, he said: ‘ General
James A. Garfield, the crater of the day,
was in fine health and spirits. General W.
8. Hancock, handsome but haughty, was not
in the procession to the graves at all, evi-
dently hating the affair because it was not
intended to honor the rebels. Hancock is'.
evidently beginning to discover that he can—
not be the Democratic candidate for Presi-‘
dent without turning his back on all those
who stood by hiui. But what if, after all,
he should lose the prize!" Hancock will
lose his prize, but Forney will take one. for
himself as the champion absurdity of the
canvass.
