the great strength and efficiency Of both tie
great political parties Of this government have
been brought about and made elfeetaal, By
party organization. In that organization, union,
harmony and concession, have been the con-
sti1uent parts, and strict adherence 10 these
parts has been expected Of all the members of
the respective parties. Without this adher-
ance, nothing could be accomplished in the
way Of party success. Hence, TO make the
obligations ofParty organization more binding
upon its members. conventions have been in
stituted. These conventions are composed Of
delegates from each town, county, or district,
occording to the character of the convention.
These delegates are chosen in primary meet
ings, by the citizens of the town, where all
can 60 who wish; to which delegates, thus
chosen, the interests and claims Of the town
are intrusted, and they are generally clothed,
or invested with discretionary power;-that
is,to do the best for their townand friends they
can, consistently with the interests of the par
ty in view; and it has generally been held,

matter in this wise: when we submit our

MY TWILIGHT HOUR.

love 10 watch the closing Day
Embrace the silent night.
His golden beam has disappeared,
Her reign has not begun,
When like a holy nuptial ring,
The twilight makes them one.
To me it ever seems to be
A resting place in life,
A quiet, happy, household hour,
With pure affection rife.
When Mem'ry from the shadowy past
Her priceless treasure brings,
Or DER the Future sunny Hope,
Her softening radiance filings.
love to draw the curtain close,
And by the htful blaze.
To sit and dream of absent friends.
Or muse on by-gone days.
Yet as muse listen, too,
To catch the opening gate,
That l may meet him at the door
For whose dear step l wait.
As at the fall Of even tide
The worn and weary dove,
Bore to the Ark on Ararat,
The olive branch of love;
So he who all day long has toiled
For wife and children dear,
Turns to the sacred Ark of Home
When twilight draweth near.
And while he braves the many cares,
That crest each wave of life,
Oh let me make his own fre-side
A haven from their strife!
Full we'll he knows that Peace and Love
Are nesting in our home,
That here he'll find his olive branch,
For that he need not roam.
He seeks to gather from the world
The Bay and Laurel now,
That with the Olive he may Irvine
A garland for my brow;
But what compared with love like his
Are honors, wealth and lame;
Oh if with that my brow is crowned
The rest is but name
And from my proud yet thankful heart,
There comes an earnest prayer,
That l may ever worthy prove
This priceless wreath to wear;
It riseth from life's flood of cares
The first green thing on earth,
And none but those who've felt its want
Can ever know its worth.
But Mem'ry gently waves her wing
She sweeps the shadowy clouds away
Which Time would Ger it cast;
Friends who are scattered far and wide,
Are gathering round me now,
l feel them gently press my hand,
Or lightly kiss my brow.
AS summer winds draw music wild
From soft Eolian strings,
So all unbidden are the thoughts
Which to my heart she brings:
Drawn gently from its quivering chord
Upon the breeze there floats,
The sweetest music Of my life,
And then, its widest notes.
Again am little child
Light.hcarled and content.
Whose happy spirit runne'h Ger
With joyous merriment.
Anon. q maiden young l stand,
"Where brook and river meet,
And now the notes grow stern and wild,
Then, soft, and low, and sweet.
Such are the thoughts which ever haunt
My quiet twilight hour,
When Hope and Mem'ry hand in hand
Exert their magic power,
Then do you wonder that L love
To sit and dream away,
This little link which joins the night
To busy, busting day.
But now the evening lamp is lit
And ] can dream no more,
For childish voices speak tonne,
And Fathers at the door;
Yet as we gather round the hearth,
And take the evening kiss.
/ hope that every dream may end
In happiness like this.
