PoR THE SPECTATOR.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
It has been the constant theme of a
certain class of politicians, for some time
past, TO represent our state as depopulat-
ing in numbers, decreasing in wealth,
sunk in the spirit of emerprlze, and pa
rallzed IN industry, without hope of re-
lief from any source except in the adop-
ton OF their wild and hazardous project
oil slavery. The following facts respect
ing Morgan county, lying betwixt
Greene and Sangamo, on the east side
OF the Illinois river, afford ample proof
that we are nos quite on the verge OF
ruin. This tract OF country (Which has
been Incorporated into a county about
eighteen months) in 1920 contained a
population Of about eighteen families,
and those Of the class who fist retire
back tor the hunting and range. In
1928, before section Of land was sold
II contained SIS tarabie persons, and
4o2 qualified voters. The hersonak
properly, OF the tax list, amounted to
o52,32s. The average number OF
votes TO the whole population in Ohio
and some other states, is about | to g..
his would give upwards of 1000
inhabn ants. In the following Autumn
from only part Of that county, and a
still smaller part Of Sangamo, upwards
OF $4,000 were paid in.o the I.aod OF.

THE CONTRAST.

There arefew sWeeter pictures In human life, than
the union of two lovers there are few more distress
ing than their separation. Twas witness to a scene
of the former description years ago, in the ca
pacty of bridesman and, not long AFTER to one of
the latter, in quality Of mourner There was con-
trast between these situations SO powerfully i'm

at the wedding. This ceremony, under almost any
circumstances, is a delightful one to behold but
when beauty, elegance, and wealth, shed their COM

ed on earth The bridegroom was in the full vigor
and pride Of youth; of a noble countenance and
manly form; his manners were usually serious but
on the present OCCASION his eyes lightened with ami
nation, and there was a tendernessn his voice and
gesture when he addressed the fair creature who
had just committed herself to his arms, that showed
how dearly he loved her His bride, without being

him from the apartment, though every blow of the
hammer on the lid of the coffin seemed to strike
upon his breast When the body was carried out
he sprung to the door, and was scarcely withheld
by his domestcs and myself from useless opposi-
ton to the bearers His Evene was at length sepa-
rated from him forever and his grief, from being
outrageous, subsidized at length into melancholy and
total silence. She buried in the church-yard
next his demesne, and he was seldom to be found
far distant from her grave His pleasure was to lean
on one shoulder of the slab which bears her name,
and rumnate on the long grass which waves to and
fro over the turf that covers her remains. A pre-
mature decay carried him off at the end of the year.
and he now lies beside her in the same grave.

CASTLE WILLIAM.

Twas beautiful morning when walked with
friend slowly over South Boston bridge, through
green meadows and laughing fields, to the point
Of Dorchester. We had intended to visit the Cas-
te-and here were within mile of it, with a
sheet Of placid water between us and its rampa1ts.
1t was one of those still mornings when the buge
floats clearly in the air, and the drum and fife come
rolling and screaming on the ears when the fac
hangs loosely on the staff, and the voice of the
sentinel, and the clink of the hammer, and the
sound of trampng feet, are distinctly heard in the
prevailing calmness. little signal was run up,
and in few moments a boat seen cutting the
still water, and stretching towards us with the full
strength of its oars in a few moments more it
grated on the sand. We sprung board, and
few bounds of the barge brought us to the embat-
tied island. At the side of the sea, which came rip
ping and murmuring almost to its door, stood the
little cottage of soldier. 1t simple but it was
a little paradise for contented mind and mary
blue and beautiful eyes in it, looking out like
guardian stars over the waves At last walk was
proposed and we sauntered along upon the fortif-
cations which the high grass was whisting to the
wind, and where the cannon looked out with a ter.
rible eye upon the ocean beneath. sThere, said a
noble officer who was at my SIDE land he pointed at
worn grave just at feet, there lies soldier;
he shot thro his heart, this very spot, with

and was forgotten \ little monument just raised
its head above the high grass, below; that, too,
was the grave of soldier-he had fallen in combat,
and his everlasting drge was the wave which broke
at the side OF his tomb Wewent into dark place
beneath the ground the air deatll-like. 1t was
the place Of the dungeon-docrs lusted with damp.
and wet with dew, shut in the prisoner, whose voice

impossible to resist an invitation which promised SO
much pleasure.

Words smile between regret and resignation
She was in her wedding Dress in which, as after
wards learned, she had desired to be buried.
There was no other covering, and as brought
to my recollection her appearance on the day of
her marriage, she seemed in nothing altered but
that she was now still and pale. g God of heaven
if she only slept" said I, touching the lily hand
that lay motonless beside her. A chill shot up

heart. My involuntary exclamation reused Henry

strain Of bitter irony, sIhere, there is my felicity
