BIDE YOUR TIME.
Bide your time tho morn is breakin
Bright with Freedoms blessed ray
Millions from their trance awaking,
Soon shall stand in stern array
Man shall fetter man no longer,
Liberty shall march sublime:
Every moment makes YOU stronger
Firm, un.hrinking, bide your time
Bde your ,ime-one false step taken
Perils all you yet have done;
MISUNDERSTANDING.
Watch and wait, and all is won.
Ills not by one rash endclvor
Men or States to greatness climb
Would you win your rights forever,
Calm and Thoughtful, bidc your time!
Bide your hme-your worst transgressiH
Were to strike, and strike in vain;
He whose arm would smi.e Oppression
Must not need 10 smite again!
Danger makes the brave man steady
Rashness is the towards crime
Be for Freedoms battle ready,

In letter to The Columbus Enquirer
Gen. Hamilton thus describes the duel be.
tween Randolph and Clay:
"The sun was jus, setting behind the
blue hills Of RanJolph's own Virginia.
Here we're two Of the most extraordinary
men our country in its prodigal,ty had
produc d, about TO meet in mortal combat.

pistol, | approached my friend. beiev-
ed for the last time; took his hand there

pulsalion. lie turned to me and said.
Gay is calm but not vindiciive. hold
my purpose, Hamilton; remember this"
On handing him his pistol, Col. Tatnall
sprung the hair trigger. Randolph said,
"Tattnall, although am one OF the best
shot in Virginia, with either postol or
gun, yet never fire with the hair trigger
besides have a thick buckskln glove on,
which will destroy the deIcacy of my
touch, and the trigger NAV hy before

solIcitude for his friend, TatnaIl insisted
upon hairlng the trigger. On taking their
position, the fact turned out as Mr.. Ran
do!ph anticipated; his pistol went off be-
fore the word, with the muzzle down.
The moment this event t,ok place.
Gen. JesuP, Mr.. Claws friend, Gale ont
that he would instantly leave the ground,
with his friend, If this occurred again. Mr..
Clay at once exclaimed it was entirely au
accident, and begged that the gentleman
night be allowed to go on. Ga the word
glven, mr. Clay fired without effect, Mr..
Randolph di.charging his pistol in the
lir. The moment Mr.. Clay saw that Mr..
Randolph had thrown away his fire, with

FuNNv.-On the anniversary day Of the Bat
tie of Tippecanoe, the wings of Indiana had
advertised an immence mass convention to be
held on the battle-ground Great preparations
were made, and scarcely any thing else was
talked of among them for four weeks before
hand. In consequence, number of democrats
having been led to believe that an enormous
convention would be held, the like Of which
never was before, out of curiosity ATTENDED IT.
But when the convention got together and o.
ganized, the democrats, finding the number Of
wings so much smaller than was expected,
actually had the audacity TO challenge them
to count of noses. The wings Of course
could not bask out. The count took place,
and 10 the democrats outnumbered the wings
over thirty! The wing papers Of Indiana since
then tell prodigious stories about the quantity
of rain that fell about the time the convenaoi
took place.-Ouawa Free Trader

The Hon. A Rencher, who in 1910. was +;
prominent leader among the wings, and now
abandons them beca use of their .faithlessness
extravaganza, and incompetency. He says:
81 did not separate from the wing partv
until after they came into power and adopta
system of measures as Wing measures,
which believe to be in conflict with sorad
policy, and at war with the republican print
pies had always held. Nor have they. In
my opinion, carried out those salutary meb.
ures of retrenchment and reform, which thu
SO fondly promised suffering people, in ne
campaign of 1910, and without which, it is If
little importance to the people what party mn
wear the robes Of Office. No party, whethl
whig or democrat, deserves their continu6
support, who, when in power, shall shrit
from this great and self-denying truth"
