EVENING.
Singst thou of brightness aud The noon
OF Morning with her shining haii::
OF nights all flooded with the moon:
Or aught beside that's rich and fair
A paler thought now suits my rhyme.
The soft and sad sweet Evening time.
III.
Bright day Is fili'd with crowds and strife;
The morn with many soaring song;
And sleepy Night Is 'waked TO life,
BY many and many merry throng:
But voice, and song, and BELLS soft chime,
Are softest ever at Evening time.
Ill.
What lone light wanders up The sky?
A star, and from the darkness flying.
Dost hear yon music. IT'S the sigh
OF Summer, cause the day Is dying:
Come forth, my soul; let's weave rhyme
AS sad as the sad sweet Evening time.

"Those, therefore, who count upon indiana as
Whig State, because she gave her vote for General
Harrison in 1885, and again in ls4O will find by the
result Of the election in November next that they have
counted without their host"
He further says
"'The name Of Gen. Harrison wasthe only one that
the Wings could have brought forward with any hope
ofsuccess against Mr. Van Buren, in those elections
And what were the facts that gave 10 Gen. Harrison his
strength in Inaiana? They we're theses He had been

the fight These were the facts which were successful

gave the State for Gen. Harrison.
"How was it in Indiana in 1885, when there was a
prospect that Mr. Clay, instead of General HARRISON
was to be the "Whig" candidate for the Presidency?
