VIM. L. Dayton.

An eastern correspondent makes the
following allusion to Hon. VIM. L..
Dayton, the Republican nominee for
the Vice Presidency:
VIM. l.. Dayton was formerly q. S.
Senator from New Jersey, and for
some time one of it's Supteme Judges.
What may be the amount of populari-
ty over the Union which Mr.. Dayton
may exhibit cannot say, but incline
to the opinion that he will run well.
He is immensely popular in his native
State-considered it's first lawyer,
since George Wood came to New
York-has been an old line Wing,
with slight tendency for years to
Free Soilism, and lately supporter to
some degree of the American princi-
pie. He has an excellent reputation
in Philadelphia, as well as New York,
and will probably do as much as any
man out of the State could do to intlu-
ence Pennsylvania.
happen to knowa good deal Of the
early life of the Senator, having been
personally intimate with him for years,
and a reminiscencc of his early histo-
ry may not be unlnteresting. He rose
from poverty and insigniticance by his
own exertions, and you will realize
that he had battle with the world al
the outset. His debut at the bar re
minds one of Patrick Henry in the
House of Burgcsses, and Brinsley
Sheridanin Parliament. When a very
young lawyer, just ficdged, in fact, he
was employed in petty case, his first
one, before Justice in one OF the
eastern counties of the State, with the
worst side to manage, and keen, sat
iical old pettifogger named Chadwici
against him-the terror Of every one
over whom he could get an advantage
Dayton has slight impediment in his
speech, (which does not hinder hin
now, however, from being a. grea,
pleader and very fine orator, and ht
was shockingly embarrassed. Chad
wick noticed his embarrassment
crowded him to the wall, took unfail
advantages, and for the time complete

not speak .at all, and lost his cast

considered as fused up" and Chad
wick exulted over his defeat, every
where The triumph did not last long,
however. Two weeks afterwards the
young lawyer volunteered in another
case in which he heard his opponent
was oppositely'engagcd, and went to
work. 1t was one Of those rascally
embroilments-a "horse trial, Pin which
all parties, from the Justice Down, were
supposed to act the scoundrel, and
Chadwick had followed the custom in
such cases by procuring manufactured
evidence. Dayton discovered the fact,
arrayedh his rebutting testimony, kept
it back until the proper time, produced
it, and showed up the old lawyer in an
awful light.
He followed with speech, in which
he had forgotten all his timidity, and
ended with the most scorching philip
pic against him that was ever heard,
from young or old, at the New Jersey
bar. "Somc men," he said in conclud-
Ing, "are to be trusted Some men
are honorable; some men arc decent.
But Others" J" he paused moment, and
pointed his long finger full at Chad
wick, "but others have neither truth,
honesty, or dcccncy in thcm,-for in
stancc!" The old man tried to rally,
but it was useless; he never argued
another case, while Dayton went up
steadily from that day, to the head OF
the State, to the Supreme Bench, to
the Senate Chamber-and would have
been Minister to Spain had Zachary
Taylor lived Brought prominently
before the people as he is to-day, it
may be interesting to know these
things of him, of which probably no
writer except myself has any personal
knowledge. -" ~ I @i.1 .s't

held recently for the purpose of taking
measures to rid that city of the scoun-

resolutions were passed that they (the

Evening Visions of the Soul.

HOLY season, blessed stiffness, 1885,.

Every living, breathing thing,

With its tieeting hopes and fears,
And the fetters that cnthral us,
That bedew life $ path with tears, ".' T.
Light as vanity and transient, t 'q-,.

That pure ones are floating near,
In the souls bright temple waking 'tt'
Music from the upper sphere.
Earth and all its phantoms vanish,
Heaven no more vision seems,
All invisible and distant,
Pictured only in our dreams;
But bright and glorious real,
Oh, so sweetly truly near,
That the gush of angel anthems
Tremble gently on the ear;
And the soul entranced and spell-bound,
Strives to spread its pinions, then,.
Upward through those shining portals,
There toseek release from sin.
Lo! voice, most soft and thrilling,
TO the soul from courts on high,
Whispers "murmur not, earth-pilgrim,

Peaceful hush, around, above,
Drawing near and nearer ever,
