A child is born in the forest brown,
A cone from the pine tree rustles down;
The child-eyes gaze on the cabin walls,
The rain on the pine-cone gently falls.
The old trees turn at a bright boy’s tread,
A young tree tenderly lifts its head.
A bright boy straighteus the tender shoot,
The young tree strengthens in limb and root.
A fair youth blushes at maiden eyes,
A proud tree steadily climbs the skies: ‘
- The fair youth kisses his lovely bride,
An ivy clings to the pine tree’s side.
A strong man laughs at storm and fate,
A grand tree stands there, strong and straight;
The man’s fame reaches for and wide,
The tree becomes the forest’s pride.
An old man haughtily fights with age,
An old tree bends at the winter’s rage;
The old man’s spirit at last has flown,
A woodmau’s axe lays the old tree prone.
An old man’s life in his renown,
The tree to the city now floats down;
Does death leave nothing in him undone,
When the tree's great work has just begun?

The Penn Bi-Ccntcniiiiil.
AN 'mrnansrme LETTER AND 1*ch FROM
cons G wnir'rinn.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. fill—The bi-centenni-
a1 celebration of the landing of William Penn
was begun to-day by appropriate service and
sermons in most of the churches. The event
was alsocelebrated with impressive ceremo-
nies at‘ the Friends meeting house at Chester
where the following poem written by the
Quaker poet, John G. Whittier, wasrcad by
Eiss Elie Beod, of West Chester. .
Dnnvsns, Mass, Oct. 7, 1882.
To Sarah B. Fltchcrafl, Chester, Pa : '
My DEAR FRIEND :—It is well that Friends
should commemmorato _the landing of the
founder of Pennsylvania and the great
apostle of their faith on the pleasant shores,
of Chester 200 years ago.. The event, so
picturesque in its surroundings and Circum-
stances, so important in its result and influ-
ence is a subject worthy of the poet’s pen or
the painter's' pencil. I should. be glad if it
were possible for me to put into metrical,
form the thoughts and emotions which it
awakens. But the burden of years begins to ‘ ‘
rest heavily upon me, and I shrink from the
effort of handling the theme. .
In spite at the endeavor of a historian more
regardful of the display of his, rhetoric and
sarcasm than of historical accuracy and jus-
tice the memory of William Penn is secure
in its grand outlines and unsullied purity.
He stands and will forever stand with the
sages, statesmen and philanthropists of whom
the world of their day was not worthy. He
lived and thought centurieain advance of his
contemporaries and slowly but surely the
generations since have been approaching the
moral and political standard which he set up
on the shores of the Delaware.
Looking over some old papers recently I
found some verses written by me when a boy
of sixfsen, nearly sixty years ago. Of course
the circumstances under. which they were
penned alone entitles them to notice, but I.
venture to send them as the only response to
they request which I can make. I am truly"
thy friend, ‘
(Signed) JOHN G. WHITTIER.
. WILLIAM PENN.
The tyrant on his guilded throne,
The warrior in his battle dress,
The holler triumph ne’er have known
Of justice and of righteousness.
Founder of Pennsylvania, thou
Didst feel it when thy words of peace
Smoothcd the stern chieftain’s lofty brow
And bade the dreadful war danbe cease.
0n Schuykill banks no fortrrss frowned,
The peaceful cot alone was there,
oi. beacon fires the hill tops crowned,
Nodcath shot swept the Delaware.
In manners meck, in precepts mild,
Thou and thy friends serenely taught
The savage hunts fierceer men and wild
To raise to heaven the erring thought,
How all unlike the bloody band
That unrelenting Cortez led
To princely Montezuma’s land ?
And rain round his pathway shed.
With hearts that knew not how to spare,
Disdaining milder means to try,
The crimson sword alone was there,
The Indians’_choico to yield or die.
But then, meek Pennsylvanians are
Unarmed. alone from terror cree,
Taught by the heathen council fire
The lessons of christianity.
Founder of Pennsylvaniafstate,
Not on the blood wet rolls of fame, '
But with the wise, the good, the great,
The world shall place thy sacred name.
American Society.
American “society” in the limited sense of
the word, and meaning a class of refined and
rich and intelligent persons, is very,mucb in ‘
America what it is in England, with two
signal differences—one arising from the
hereditary class element in England, and‘tbe
other from tho;larger number of, especially
accomplished persons concentrated in one
great capital. But individual by individual
the observer will see as much refinement
and grace of manner and delightful and
available social cultivatioa in America as in
England. Vulgar rich people of various
kinds, Podsnaps, and Barnes Newcomes and
Lord 'Steynes, he will find here as there.
But if Mr. Matthew Arnold had been in
Newport during the summer, and had dined
from villa to villa, he would have found
more new richness, indeed, because modern
Newport is scarcely more than a generation.
old; the houses doubtless would have been
finer than marine villas elsewhere, and the
dinners probably better; but ,the company
would have been as used to "clean shirts"
and to social elegance and refinement as any
to which Mr. Arnoldris accustomed. W im-
out thc least disposition toward the ta
gubque, We should say that ’he would be
quite as likely to discover less real want of
good manners here than in corresponding
circles at home. That taint of English so-
c cty in every degree which Thackeray stig-
matized as snobbery, and which is painfully
evident 'to a foreign observer, he would
‘ remark very much less in this ficountry than
at home. ‘
But when, leaving this restricted use of
the word society, and rising into American
society at large, he turned his shrewd eyes
around him, Mr. Arnold would discover a
general intelligence and courtesy and self-
respect, a rustic plainness of speech and
manner, often, but afreedom from vulgarity,
which Could not fail to charm him. It
/ would be a very extraordinary “lover of the
humane life” who should not find a greater
proportional intelligence, knowledge of ‘good
books, charitable and literary and artistic
activity, refinement of manner and dignity
of life, in the United States than elsewhere
in the world. The Spectator generously
concedes, and from the personal experience
of the writer, that there is more general
kindness and politeness, more of the old
homo sum spirit, in America than in any of
the three greatest countries of Europe.
“And what is this, after all,” he asks, “but
humanization i’"

Little Lucy's big brother Charles promised
do buy her some ice cream every-Saturday if
she would keep her nicely brushed during
the week.
One day Lucy and her brother were going
to the place where the ice cream was kept.
Lucy was trotting along, holding Charles's'
hdnd. She heard a strange noise in the
street near them. Looking, she saw two
boys withniittle ecru dog. One boy had
tied a string to the poorjlittie dog's tail, and
. on the other end of the string was a deserted
oyster can. -
wicked boys (are doing.” ‘ .
And then tears filled her eyes, because she
felt sorry for the dog.
Then Charles asked the boys to let the dog
go. They would not do this, but said they
would sell the dog for 25 cents. '
“If we buy the dog, Lucy, you can have
no ice cream, for I have only 25 cents in my
pocket,” said Charles.
Then Lucy was very sad, for she loved ice'
cream dearly, but still she knew it was her
duty to prevent the dog from suffering.
So for a moment she was silent, and then
looking up to her brother, she said in her
pretty way: “You kick 'in the ribs of the
boys, dear brother, and I will hustle the pup
up the alley."
And so Lucy had her ice1,crcam after all.
CHARLES AND mu MARBLES.
Charles was a little' boy who loved his
Mother dearly, (and whenever she told him
anything he was verygcareful‘to Obey.
One day in’ the. Spring when the birds
were singing and the beds on the apple trees
were almost ready to burst into beautiful
white blossoms Cbarles.asked his mother for
Top Cents to buy Marbles,for the ground was
getting dryand the otheir ,boys were begin-
ning to enjoy their favorite Sport. “You
can have made, my son,” said the mother,
“but you must promise me not to play for
Keeps, and every;night you can come home
\and tell me truthfully that you have not
disobeyed your Mamma I will give you a
Large Red Apple." And then _she kissed
him, Fondly, and he went gayly away to
School.
But before Charles had gone very far he
met Thomas Tough, who was a bad boy.
Charles told Thomas the Ten Cents that his
Mother had given him to buy Marbles with,
and also told him that he could not play for
Keeps, unless he was willing to- go without
the Red Apple.
When Thomasheard this he said: “Give
me,the marbles that you are going to buy,
and I will play with them for Keeps, and\
after School is out we will Divide what I
won, for I am a Superior Player. Then you
can truthfully tell your Mother that you have
not been playingfor Keeps, and will receive
~fde‘ Red Apple}? , , " ‘
as Charles gave his 5Marbles 'to Thomas,
and after School was? out asked him how
many Marbles he had;Won.
“I did not Win,” replied Thomas.

Then Charles was sad, for he was a pretty
Tight-Fisted little boy, and ibegan to cry.
But presently he said to Thomas -: “You
are a naughty boy, and I hate you Very
Much.”
And then Thomas hit Charles in the Nose,
and threw him dOWn in the Dirt, making his
panties look very had indeed. .
So when Charles reached home he told his
Papa all about his troubles. When he had
finished his Papa said to him :" "You don’t
know as much aszhompson’s Colt, and I am
going to Take a Crack at you myself.”
. Then he gave Charles a good Licking, and
sent him to bed without any Supper. And
when Charles had laid on his Stomach for a
while, because he felt more Comfortable that
way, be said ,to himself: “No more Blind
Pools for me." .
Do you not think he :had a ,Great Head;

A Fire Horse in a. Milk Wagon-An
Astonlslied Dutchman.
(From Peck’s Sun)
The run away on Chestnut street, Sunday
morning, was a queer affair, and wasn’t a
runaway either. It willbo remembered that
a number of old horses that had been used
by the fire department werezsold at auction
last week. One of them, a sleepy old fel-
low, was‘sold and traded around until he got
into the hands of a man who peddled milk. .
The old horse thought he had struck some-
thing that just suited him in his old age, and
he trotted along with the milk, wagon as
handily as possible, and the German peddle:
who did not know anything of the former
employment of the fire horse, smoked his
pipe in peace, and emptied his milk in pitch-
ers as though there was no cars on hismind.
Sunday morning the German we] delivering
some alleged milk into a girls tin receptacle
on Chestnut street, when the fire bell struck
317. The old horse simply raised his fore
feet in the air and made a jump before the
‘old man could pull upon the reins, when the
beast was stopped. We presume there never
was a more astonished German in the world
’ than this milkman was; covered with spilled
milk, and looking over his shoulder at his
customer, he found that he had emptied a
quart of milk‘on her neck, and it was seek-
ing its level, while she was looking at a bro-
ken pitcher on the sidewalk and swearing at'
the milkman in English that N was nearly as
badly broken as the pitcher. By the time
the peddler got his horse quieted the fire en-
gine and hook and ladder truck and hose
cart came across the bridge, the alarms ring-
ing and the crowd yelling, and then it was
that the oldhOrso hitched to the milk wagon
began to smell'tvool burning. He started up
Chestnut stgect on a run, the milk wagon
rattling and_tho‘German' trying to hold the
horse with one band while he kept six milk
cans right side up with the other hand and
both legs. Going over the first crossing a
milk can jumped into the air and came down
bottom side up in the German's lap; be fair-
ly floated in milk, while he yelled: “Whoa
do for domma shimmel I" or something of
that nature. The milk wagon kept ahead of
theengine and at every stroke of the‘ bell
. the;old horse gave an extra jump until he
had arrived at ,thc store from , which the
smoke proceeded, when he turned the milk
wagon up to a hydrant on the corner and
stopped so quick that the driver went over
the dashcr, with milk cans, pounding him in
the car. The rest of the fire apparatus
stopped at convenient points and the old
horse looked over his shoulder as much as to
say to the other fire horses, “You thought
old Tom was played out, but I notice his flag
is still there, and he can teach you green
colts a thing or two about a fire department." '
The old German got out andwiped the "milk
out of his neck, set the cans right side up,
kicked the horse in the stomach, and as a
saloon-keeper looked at the hydrant, and
asked the old man if he was going to water
his milk, the peddler got into his wagon and
drove off to find the girl with milk in her
hair, and said: “Veil, 'I tink dot old horse
vos a crack. He joost act like crazy van a
red-headed girl comes out mit a bitcher for
milk." ‘ -

General Butler’s appearance on the stump
hastended to arouse the Massachusetts Re-
publicans, and they are making preparations
to carry on an active campaign during the
next two weeks. Some of the best stump
speakers in the party have been invited into
the State and are expected to respond favor-
ably. At a meeting of the chairman of town
and city committees held in Boston the other
day encouraging reports were made from all

And so the political crime of Congressman
Buck is that he voted to continue a policy
which Bill Eaton fastened upon the govern-
ment—Meridm Republican. '
The watcbword of the democratic campaign
in this state is Roformln Campaign and elec-
tion methods.—Brt'dgeport Farmer.
And that is just what the party- needs.—
Hartford Post. .
. When a rich and able manlike Governor
English can be defeated in this district, as
be was, what show has Charles D. Mitchellx
against the probable republican nominees:-
New' Haven Register. .
The Hartford Times takes a great deal of
unnecessary trouble to explain that Thomas
II. Waller was not the author of the present
'lic'ensc law. Nobody ever suspected Mr.
Waller of originating or advocating anything
that would have a restrictive effect upon the
rum traffic—Palladium.
There is a‘ valuable lesson to be learned
from the Ohio affair. This is that no party
can accomplish anything toward lessening
the evils of the liquor trafilc by originating
or attempting to enforce measures which do:
not commend themselves to. the good sense
(or the bad sense if you will) of the majority
and a lar'ge majority too, of the people. This»
is perhaps not an ideal state of affairs, but it
is real.—.N. H. Courier. _
We advise the republicans in other states
not to be too much discouraged at the result
of the Ohio election. Between this and No-
vember the democratic victory in Ohio is
very likely to so turn the general‘deinocratic
head as to disgust moderate and sensible
voters—that large class who are considering
. the propriety of at last trusting the democrat
with power. Certainly if a democratic suc-
cess in November is to give us nothing ex-
cept a repetition of the Randall regime no
sensible voter will help-it on.
We advise the democrats to use the weeks
between now and election day in reassuring
"the voters that a democratic progress will
mean reform and not obstruction, and that
they intend to keep their promises and not
throw them to the winds as soon as they get
into power.—N. Y. Herald.
' 0n the day following the Ohio election the
Springfield Republican wisely remarked that
“it looks as if the support given by the re-.
publicans of Ohio to the prohibition move-
ment and the attempt to secure a stricter
observance 'of the Sunday laws had lost them
the state.” The next day the Repuo'lcan laid
the cause of the result at Hubbell’s door, and
today the same paper; with the candor of a
hereditary believer,says that the returns from
Ohio indicate that the people can stop politi-
cal thieving if the President cannot. These
mental results show a gi-e‘at versatility of
*thought, but the first thought, probably the
it of a' republican intuition, was much
the best. It is characteristic of some people
that the more they think the more muddled
they becomé:‘-al.~’£.'-rfdeigiPrm. .
The democrats can easily be too cock-lure
that they are on the direct road to the White
House. West Virginia has given them an
admonition as to the results of over confi-
dence. Neither is it domonstrated by any
means, that the country is ready for a demo-
cratic restoration. All depends upon what
sort of democracy is offered to it in 1884.
The party has had several chancel before.
and has proved itself unequal to the oppor-
tunity. The independent voters have decid-
ed that this is a good year to discipline the
republican leaders, and rebuke the rccreancy
cf unfaithful leaders. But it by no means
follows that they are ready to follow any-
thing benring the brand of democracy. We
advise our jubilant friends not to get unduly
elatéd. Elections come every yearn—Boston
Herald - ’
The Times knows that Mr. Elton stands
responsible for the work that has been done
at Salmon river, The Times endeavors to
meet the issues by dodging and misrepresen-
tation. It endeavors to gain credit for Mr.
Eaton by saying that he opposed the river
and harbor bill of 1878. Thefacts are shown
by the Congressional Record prove that Mr.
Eaton after securing this amendment to the
river and harbor bill, and after preventing a
reduction of $5,000 in another item of the
bill“ and when he knew. that it would
pass, dodged the vote, being reported as absent
when the vote was taken,although the Record
shows that he was in the sonnet chamber a
short time before. The Times is thus trying
to make Mr. Eaton out a sneak, too cowardly
to vote either for or against the bill. If the
Times is satisfied with leaving its candidate,
in ;this\position, the (Journal cannot com-
plain. But after having selected Salmon
River business as a sample “steal"the Times

pelled to face the facts of the case—Hartford

Howells' Novels in England.
New York Tribune.
Mr. Howells is rapidly becoming an Eng-
lish celebrity. Known to a considerable
audience he_baa long been; but not to the
many. The Time the other day proclaimed
film'as the true type of the American. nove-
list; him and not Mr. Henry James, Jr.,
since Mr. Henry] James's American genius
had undergone a sea change and become
more less European ;—-European possibility,
.but certainlyuot English, I will take leave
to add, for the delicate charm, the sublety,
the art sense which distinguish Mr. .James’l
novels are the rarmt of qualities among
contemporary writers. However, h'ero now
is Mr. Howells set on a pedestal by the
journal which once could have made him
known and seen of all men. It is perhaps
not less to the purpose that tthngiish or
rather the Scotch publisher has taken him
up. "A Modern Instance" appears this week-
in two' volumes'aud is announced in the
stereotyped phrase as. to be “bad at all
libraries. And Mr. Howells’s other novels
are also advertised by the same house as is-
sued with the sanction - of the author;
meaning, I hope, that he reaps his due profit
from these English editions. Something of
this sudden fame may be due to Mr. How-
ells’s presence in London, and to the. ac;-
’_quain'tance with him which a few‘ people.
:had the pleasure of making. A_few, I say,
because Mr. Howells saw fit to come .to
London just after most of those who would
naturally-most want to see him had left it,
and were dispersed about the world. Some
few of the best, who stayed behind for rea-
sons sufileicnt to them, were rewarded, so‘
they say, by this unexpected chance of dis-
covering this new American :—new to Lon-
don, that is, or ta them. As to‘ Mr. Howells
{hear he found the hospitalities‘ of this dead
season be pleasantly burdensome to him as
to interfere with his work. He has fled to
France, accordingly, there, let us hope, to be
interfered with no more.

The Providence Pm: expresses the opinion
that "nothing but monumental stupidity and

controlling the next Congress,” Yes? Well,
then, the chances are that the Democracy
will not control it. Did The Press ever

century when the Democracy1did not have
in stocka large and varied assortment of
stupidity and blundering, of the “monu-
mental” order? ‘.‘ What would I be with:

There has been considerable complaint
among voters .in New Haven and vicinity
that too many lawyers werornomiuuted for
temperance reform in the following, which
is .just as applicable to Connecticut as, to
New Yark: , 5 . - . .
Intomperate Temperance...
The. Prohibitionists of the State are sup-
perting candidalcs‘ for the Assembly in a
large number of districts, this fall. .Arethey
wise in so doing ? We respectfully submit
to them that they are not. The only prac-
tical result of their action will be to defeat
the Republican nominee fortho Assembly,
here and there. For it is a coucedcdgfact,
based upon the history of numberloss politi-.
cal campaigns, that at least nine-tenths of
the votes cast for a temperance candidate
are votes which in his absence from the field
whuld be given to the Republican candidate:
Hence the Democratic managers are always
delighted when the temperance people do-
cide to run tickets of their own, and in the
present campaign they will doubtless see in
the Prohibition Assembly nominations so
many contributions to their own strength, so;
many aids t6 making the next House Demo-
cratic. ,
- Nor can the Prohibitionists reply that the
run separate tickets because they have not
been fairly treated by the Republican party.
We submit that-they have been. The Be-
publican Legislatures. of recent years, with-
out an exception, have steadily, in the face
of‘ persistent Democratic opposition, resisted
all efforts—and some of them were desperg
ate—to amend the excise laws in the interest
of rum-sellers. Year after year a powerful
aIJdLunscrppuious lobby has been organized
o . a strictly cash basis, having for its object
the breaking down of all the barriers which
now exist for the suppression of intemper-
once. But the lobbyists have accomplished
in;their determination not to grant any con-
cessions against public morality, and none
have been granted, More than. once an ob-
ndxious bill. has been killed by practically c'
pafrty vote. nearly all the Republicans voting
agninst it, nearly all the Democrats for it.
In view of this fact, we claim thattbe Re-
publican party pf New York deserves better
treatment at the hands of the Problbitionists
thud-it is now receiving. ' .
Just here it is profitable to recall the tele-
gram which the president of the LiquorAs-
sociatiou of Ohio sent to the president of a
kindred organization in this city ' directly
after the Ohio election. The despatchnread
as‘ follows: “ The liquor dealers of Ohio
send greeting to their brethren of New York
and hope that New York will take example
from Ohio." In other words, th ,liquor
dealers of Ohio yearn to have New ork go
Democratic. 1‘
Let the Prohibitionistl of New York look
to it that they do not render themselves
liable to the charge of holding up the hands
Ohio greeting. A good many blunders and
.crimes have been committed in the name of
reform.

A Corn Shocking Scene in
_ Georg“.
_ : »~ . thntui-y.)
The farmer who proposes. 3.33 give I corn-
chucking selects a level spot in i'n'SJQI. con-
veniently near the crib, rakes away all
thrash, and sweeps the place clean with a
brush-broom. The corn is then pulled off
the stalks, thrown into‘~ wagons, hauled to
the lot and thrown out on the spot selected
all in one pile. If it has been previously
“aerated” through the neighborhood that
there is to be plenty to eat and drink, at the
corn-shocking, and if the night is auspicious
there will certainly be a. crowd. Soon after
dark the negroes begin to come in, and
before long the place will be alive with them
—men, women, and children. After the
crowd has gathered and been moderately
warmed up, two “gin’ls” are chosen from
the most famous corn-shuckers on the ground
and these proceed to divide the shuckers into
two partles,-latcr comers reporting to one
side or the other, so as to keep the "forces
equally divided.‘ The next, which is one of
great importance, is to divide the corn-pile.
This is done by laying a fence-rail across the
top of the corn-pile, so thatthe vertical
plane, passing through the rail, will divide
the ’pilc‘luto two equal portions. Laying
the rail is of great importance, since upon
this. depends the accuracy of the division ;
It is accomplished with much argument, not
to say wrangling. The position of the rail
being determined, the two generals mount
the corn-pile, and the work begins. The ne-
cessity forlthc “gin'r’ls” to oEcupy the most
conspicuous position accessible, from which
to cheer their followers, is ’one reason why
they get up onzthc'corn; but there isanothcr,
equally important, which is to keep the rail
from being moved it noluncommon thing for
one side to change the ,position’of the rail,
and thus throw an undue-portion of the
of “gin'r'l” in a {corn-chuckcr differs from
that'of the soldier, as the former is in greater
danger than any of the followers, for the
chances are that, should his side seem to be
gaining. one of their opponents will, knock
the leader ofl'tbe compile, and thus cause
a momentary panic, which is eagerly taker:
advantage of. This proceeding, however; is
considered fair only in extreme cases, and
.unfrequently leads to a general row. If it
is possible, imagine a negro man standing
upon a pile of corn, holding in his band an
ear of corn, and shouting the words 'of a
song below, and you will‘ have pictured the
“corn gin'r'l." It in prime requisite that
hes hould be ready in his improvisations and
have a geod voice, so that he may lead in
the corn-song. The cornlong is almost
always a song with a chorus, or to use the
language of corn-shuckers, the '“gin’r‘is give
out" and the shuckers “drone.” These songs
are kept up.contlnuously during the entire
limo the work is going on, and though ex-
of‘lusty lungs there are few 'things more
stirring; - .
‘ The great advantage of cheap railroad
fares is acknowledged now very'gencrally by
everybody, except, perhaps, a few lot over
railroad managers, who belong tothc past
ago of rail-reading. And yet it has also its
disadvantages. Sometimes they are peculiar.
Lynn, in Massachusetts. is suffering just
now a serious nuisance by reason of cheap
fares. The Eastern railroad and the Boston
Revere Beach and Lynn road both touch
Lynn. Alively competition between them
has lately developed‘und,” a result, it costs
almost nothing to go from Boston to Lynn.
Consequently Boston people flock out to
Lynn by the thousands. The'plac‘e is fairly
invaded, especially on.Bundayc. There is
great contentions, Sunday drinking crowd
there. Fights and bloodshed and arrests are
the order of the day, and Sunday itself
seems to have taken advantage of the cheap
rates to leave the town. Thc‘pooploaro in
a state of indignation over it and'proposo to
go to the rail-road commissioners‘ for relief.
They want either high fares or else a super--

Mr. Bonnet], the republican candidate for
senator in the New Haven district, was asked
'Wednesday to explain his attitude on the
Parallel road question and replied:
“To: begin with, I am opposed to monop-
olies of all kinds. As to the Parallel road
in particular, I am in favor of giving any
responsible parties who may may wish to
build another road to New York full oppor-
tunities of doing so. I think there is room
fora competing line to New York and should
like to see one built. The more railroad
facilities we.have the better for our commer-
cialand manufacturing interests. The new
road should have an independent route into
New York, as the present tunnel route is too
much crowded with business' Through the
present tunnel there are run 198 trains daily
and «as a consequence accidents occur and the
traveling public is subjected to annoying do
lays. , We ought to have a second railroad to
New York by all means."
Why won’t some one “interview" the
Norwalk Democrats candidate for congress
in this district—“Senator" Seymour, who
we observe is included also in that paper’s
blacklist.

Some of the leading Prohibitionistl in Illz
tools have acknowledged, it is reporteg, that
their only purpose in running candida cs for
the Legislath in that State is to secure the
election of enough members to return David
Davis to the United States Senate. This has
injured/their prospects in many districts, for
the T 'perancc Republicans, while willing
to , the prohibition movement, are not in-
clined to throw away so important an office
as the United States Senator. _
ActiugSccretary cf the Interior Joslyn has
rendered a decision‘l of the utmost importance
to a large class of applicants for pensions.
He‘boidsin effect that seven years absence
may be taken as proof presumptive of a sol-
dier’s death, and such proof shall warrant the
issue 'of a pension to his family, if other re-
quirements have been complied with. Pos-
itive proof of a soldier's death was required
li'eretofcre, which, in many cases it was im-
possible to produce—Tribune.
The loss of seven Republican Congressmen
in Ohio is doubtless duo in a measure to the
ill-disguised eagerness of the Legislature to
arran e\ the Congressional district .for the
bene t of certain men. The Cincinnati
Commercial oints the moral taught by the
election as oliows: —-“'I‘bere were in the
Legislature last ' winter elgven Republican
candidates for Congress. a they redistrict-
ed the State. Nine of. them were beaten for
nomination. Two were nominated. in dis-
tricts. prepared for themselves. .Horr’s dis-
trict had 2,800 Republican majority when it
was made, and bowls beaten 3,800. Brig~
ham’sj district was_1,200 Republican, majority
and he was beaten ,800, which was consider-
ed rsther a brilliant thing for him. Not a
member of the Legislature is elected to Con-

Commenting ‘upon the position assumed
by the democratic party of Connecticut
on the liqubr question, the , Waterbury
American says it has aroused thinking men,
who vote only under some unusual stimulus,‘
to the; possible danger of democratic success
gained under such conditions. They are,
adds the American, “sensible men of the
most part, who have no objections to the
German having his beer on liberal terms,
assured. before hand of the general good
order and sobriety of the German people,
but who must insist on such restrictions as
will prevent the- abuse of privileges on the
part of those, whether German. or other.
wise, who will be inclined to abuse. them.
They do not want prohibition. but they will.
not have the liquor trafilc freed from reason-
able, necessary and practical restrictions.
This class of men will’ be heard from, at the
polls in Connecticut unless thereisa radical
change in the tone of the canvas. The
drift is slowly but steadily towards an issue
between order and disorder. and once that/
issue is plainly joined the result is no longs r
doubtfuL'f; ' ’ . . . ~ . .

I do not doubt' my safety,—that thy hand
_ Will still uphold and guardme to the last,
And that'my feet on Canaan’s bill shall stand
When the long wilderness is overpast ;
But often faith is weak, and hope is low,
Forward indeed, but faint and wearily I go.
I do not doubt thy love, _my Lord, my God,
The love which suffered and which died
_ for me : ' -

But mine seems now so languid, dull and
sold. ‘ '
Oh i for the blissful hours which I have
known of old.
I do not doubt, unworthy though I be.
Thy worthiness,-my Saviour is my‘ own;
One of the many mansions is for me,
In the good land where sorrow is un-
known; ,
But often clouds obscure the distant scene,
And from the flood _I shriukhwhich darkly
rolls between.,_' '

W by not with girded robes arise, depart,
And speed thy progress to the land of day,
Nor longer; mourn the present or the past,
But press toward the prize, which nball be
thine at last? »
Lord, at the evening time, let there be light;
Unveil thy presence, bid all darkness fly;
Surely ere now far spent must be the night:

Are all the songs sung, all the music played ?
Are the keys quite worn out, and sound-
- less quite,
Which since sweet fancy 's dawning-day have
made
Perpetual melody for man’s delight,
And chfirmed the dull day and the heavy

Must we go on with stale, repeated themes,
Content with threadbare chords that faint
and fail,
Till all the fairy fabric of old dreams
Becomes a jaded, oft-repeated tale,
And poetry grown tired, and romance pale?
I cannot think it; for the soul 6: man
Is strung to answer to such myriad keys
Set and attuned and chorded'on a plan
Of intricate and vibrant harmonies,
How shall we limit that, or measure these?
As free and urgent as the air thatjmoves,
As quick to tremble as ZEolian strings,
The soul responds and thrills to hates and
loves, ’ '

Ah! those days Lhave gone forever, with
theirsplendid fire and fever,
And their lofty scorn of living, and their

Now we never sigh to hear them, but we fly
