Tho following beautifal lines are from tho
now novel of Sydney Clifton:
THE PAST.
The past, tho past, tn insatate past,
Within her broad domain
Crushed hopes and bleeding Joys is cast,
Like wal Is unburied staln
We saw their plumes IN triumph wave,
A bright and fair array;
The morning mists are curling Ger
The hill; bu, where are lhey7
The past, the past, the embalming past
Behold its march sublime:
Garnerlng the harvest PROSTATE cast
By the bold reapers Timed
Wits diamoned shaft, and learning's tome,
Devotion's lore divine,-
Famo's glttering wreath and poesY's crown;
In added lusture shine.
The past the past, the joyous past,
How bright its visions seem,
When are and youth the hours contrast,
Like some enchanted dream
Loves honey'd kiss, and manhood's pride,
And pleasures syren strain:-
The ciWc wreath, the sparkling CUP
Alfalfa are ours again.
The past the past, the shadowy past,
How dim the scsne appears,
When eyes that OIL us look'd their last,
Relume n alter years.
The dazzling cheat in mockery throws
Its light ser hopeless gloom,
Like faint tdper'S tlickerins ray
Abaya the lent teiub,
Tho past, the past, the mighty past
How buundless ia its sway;
Harkl 10 ils trumpst's summoning blast,
While listening worlds obeyl
The conqueTins chief his helmet dof,-
The brnndish'd sceptre falls;
And silence regns where wassail shouts
Rang through the testal hall.
The past, the past the storied past.--
Here genius sits enShrined;
On this bright fame your offerings cast,
The Mecca OF the mindl
Beneath those arches vaulled roofs
Immortal spirits throng;
Here Shakspear's radiant fancy beams
Here Homer weaves his songl
The past, the past, the new AedSed past,
Even how with raven wing
Its heightened shadows, grown more vast,
Around my footsteps cling.
My fingers vainIy sweep the Tyre,
No answering tones arise;
Pale memory fees TO happier breasts,
And hopete brighter Skieul

AN EXCLUSIVE METALLIC CURRENCY.

The Washington Globe, tho N. Y. Evening Post,
the New Era, the Hartford Times, and other mouth
pieces Of the Van Buren, party, constantly teemng
with appeals to the people in favor of the hard money
sub-treasury system, at the time that they are
filled with indscrminste maledictons against banks
and paper money. We have often asked, but have
yet received answer what this country is TO
by the overthrow Of It's institutions aud the
bshmcnt Of an exclusive specie currency contended
for by the loco focos II is tina, such currency
exists in Italy, parts Of Germany, in Egypt and in
Turkey, but its effect in those countries any thing
but productive Of the happiness prosperity of the
people. The experiment" Of hard money govern
ment has been worked in those countries and any
body has but to read their history to cross the water
TO what the result is
Poverty, ignorance, crime and Indebtedness has
uniformly been the portion Of the people Of every coun
try where an exclusive metallic currency has prevailed
while in those countries where the march OF civza
ton has established well.regulaed institutions OF credit
enterprise and industry have found new impulses to
on aud science literature and the arts have advanced
with the most astonishing rapdty. What then,
again ask have the intelligent people Of this growing
republic GAIN by discarding the improvements OF
modern times and throwing themselves back TO the
days Of iron money and black broth |" Will any OF
the above mentioned organs OF the dsorganzing and
revolutionary doctrines Of loco ocoism answer this
question. --Iidrttord Pat. and Dem.

This is an age of experiments" especially in rela-

the notion that the public money was not safe in the

sted for nearly twenty years and thought proper to try
the experiment Of what called the Pet Bank sys-
TEN This new arrangement, told would ope-
rate much to the benefit Of the people, and whsl was

perfection itself for time, when ell at once the Pet

break upon the democracy and sub. treasurers with

experiment will be any more satisfactory than the

the PoLrTrcAL AND Fiscal CONDITION OF INDIANA
It will be recoec,ed tha, this great Wing State re-
Gently made somerset into the ranks Of the Van
Buren, Sub.Treasury party. We think she is getting
sick of il, by the following two paragraphs from the
Indianapolis State Journal:
The special election of State Senator from Ripley
county has resulted in the choice OF James FL. Cra-
ven, Esq, the Wing candidate, by about 300 MAORI
ty over Doctor Brown, his Van Buren, competitor.
Both candidates were regularly nominated by coun-
ty conventions and we doubt not each Of them re-
ceived the full vote of his party This is gain OF
one Senator, and off cts the Van Buren, gain in
Parke. AT the August election, the Wing majority
in Ripley was 10 II the reported majority Of 800
at the late election be correct it shows Wing gain
Of over 300 votes in three months.
This goes to confirm The opinion that a more de-
cided anti-Van Buren, State, under any circum-
stances, cannot now b. numbered among the twenty.
SIX than Indiana. A united effort in 1910 will tell
a tale of victory everywhere.
To which, add the following, from the Loganspor
Qnd) Telegraph Of November 2.
STATE LoaN.-It is almost certain that no large
loan be obtained by any Of The States, before the
adjournment of the next Congress, In the mean
time, the State Of Indiana will b. compelled to issue
Scrip, 10 an amount sufficient TO meet its Liabilities
TO contractors on the public works.

POVERTY OF PUBLIC MEN.

Chevalier, twhose Letters, says the Boston jour
nal, We have mentioned as just issued by Weeks,
Jordon, &c) evidently thinks that our public char
acers and especially our national functionaries, are
allowed to spend and be spent in their counrys SER
vice, rather more than is either polite or just, He
allows 10 be servants OF the people, but thinks
they are not treated as well as other menias. As
might be expected he would have system Of retir-
ing pensions On this subjeci, he says:
q" had already the illustrious GALLATiN at New
York. who, after having grown old in the service of the
republics after having been for forty years legislator
member Of the cabinet minister abroad, after having
taken active part IN every wise and good OF
the Federal Government, was dismissed without any
provision and would have terminated his laborious
recr in poverty, had his friends offered him the place
Of president of one Of the banks in New York. The
distress Of President JEFFERSON in his old age is well
known aud that he reduced to the necessity OF ask
ing permission Of the Virginia Legislature to dispose Of
his estate by lottery; while President MONROE, still
destitute after having spent his patrimony in the
State, was constrained 10 implore the compassion Of
Congrcss--and these the TO whom their
try the invaluable acquisitions Of Louisiana and
Florida"
General HAgRrsoN's case strikes him as another of
the same class He encountered that gentleman at
Cincinnati, and gives us the following comment:

the medium height stout and muscular. and Of about the
