THE GRAVES OF THE BEI.ovED-How precious
is the spot to us where repose the remains of a
beloved friend or relative. in whose society we
once took SO much delight. The mother loves
often there to retire, and while standing beside
the grave of her beloved child, to call to mind
the scenes of gone days, when the loved one
now reposing in the silence of the grave, smiled
upon her. and called her by the endearing name
of mother.-There the father spends hours in
looking back to the time when he knew his be-
loved and promising son. whom none knew but
TO love, was the joy of his heart and the object
OF his greatest care and solicitude The 6us
band or the wife here come to mediate, and
mourn over the loss of departed companion;
all, from the nearest relative, to the warm
hearted and sorrow-stricken friend, here resort
to mediate on the happy seasons of the past.
and look forward to the future, when they too
shall be laid beside those whom they love, and
with them enter another state of being

Exile of Erin.

There came to the bcach-a poor exile of Erin,
The dew. on his thin robe, hung heavy and chill
For his country he sghd when, at twilight repairing
To wander alone, by the wind beaten hill
But the day star-attracted his eyes sad devotion,
For it rose-on his native Isle of the Ocean,
Where once, in the glow of his youthful emotion,
He sung the bold aItheaa--of ERIN Go BRAGH
O. sad is nv fate said the hearth broken stranger,
The wild deer and wolf to a covert can flee;
But I-have no refuge-from famine danger,
home, and country-reman not for me;
All never, again, in the green sunny bowrs,
Where nv orefathers liv shall spend the sweet hours
Or cover my harp, with the wild woven flowers,
And strike to the numbers-of Err. Go BRAGHl
O. where is my cottage that stood by the wild woodS
Sisters, and sires, did re weep for its fall?
O. where is the mother that watched DER my childhood
And where is the bosom friend, dearer than alp
All my sad soul long abandoned by pleasure,
O. why did it doat-on a fast fading treasure
Tears like the rain-drops may fall without measure,
But rapture, and beauty, .hey cannot recall
Erin, my country, though sad and forsahen,
In dreams revisit thy sea beaten shore
But alas in a far distant land awaken,
And sigh for the friends, who can meet me no more
O. hard, cruel fate, wilt thou never replace me,
In a mansion of peace where peril can chase me?
All never, again, shall my brothers embrace me,
They died 10 defend me, or lve-to deplcre
But vet all its fond recolectons suppressing,
One dying wish--my lone bosom shall draw;
Erin, exile bequeaths thee his blessing,
Land of my fore fathers, ERIS Go BRAGHi

'.YoU MUsT BE HAPPY. such was the ex-
preston Of a gentleman made to a friend at his
residence, while both were gazing upon broad

least-but its spirit thus early had sped away

almost breaking bearts refused to be comforted
in the hour of their affection, for their bright
star of hope had gone to rest and although pos
sessed of wealth. surrounded by everything that

not happy, because his little one had gone up

The ELoQUNcE OF ACrIoN.-When Eschylus,
the Greek poet, was CONDEMNED to death, his
brother. an orator and hero, was summoned to
plead his cause. While the audience were gag
ing with intensity of interest to hear what
would be said he silently lifted up the stump
of his dsmembered ARM which he had lost in
the service of his country. and said not word.
The multitude burst into shouts of applause,
and the poet was saved. The dumb eloquence
OF that limb spoke more powerfully than words

| by any Of the machinery of party, select By "a
spontaneous. popular, and undirected (save
by the dictates of their own enlightened consci-
euces) choice, the men on whom they shall
choose to confer the dignity of the rulers and
| legislators. But we fear that time is to come
! only with the millennium. md until then, taking
things as they are, it becomes our duty to rid
ourselves as much as possible of the control of
that machinery which has ruled and misdirect-
ed and misguided us.
The greatest the most palpable abuse, to
which members of parties have been subjected
in the United States, and particularly in Cali
fornia, has arisen out of the primary election
system. or. as it should be denomnated, the
primary election swindle. This system has been
the curse of Caifornia's political operations;
| and under it few political demagogues have
ruled and controlled the whole body of the par
ty in which they held position. Previous to
nominations being made, these men have called
one Of these primary elections" At these
elections men were chosen who were to make the
nominations, to the support of which at the en-
suing election, the party was to be bound.
These elections have been managed and con-
Quoted without any of the forms of law control
ling elections or guaranteeing the purity of the
ballot-box. The wire-pullers put in, as the
judges of these elections, the men they want
there: the candidates who are to be nominated
bring up all their friends and exercise all their
influence for the choice Of a certain ticket; no
responsibility for the justice, for the fairness, OF
the election, is acknowledged by anybody; and
when the polls are closed. the farce played out,
the scene-shifters make up the list of their pack
ed convention, pledged to the adoption of GER
tain ticket; and when that convention meets this
''foregone conclusion is palpably put forth,
and the members of the party are put upon
their fealty to support it. What swindle
But thus We have been governed, thus our Of
ficers were elected"

Party Machinery.

In very excellent article written on the sub
iect of "party machinery" the Alta California.
after abiding to the developments of fraud in
elections in San Francisco, further says "a
condition of affairs has been exhibited of char
acter calculated to disgust and sicken every
true believer in the purity of republican prin-
ciple, every devotee to the faith OF democracy.
Never was there time when the people OF all
parties so clearly demanded as they do now a
freedom from the enthralment of party machin-
cry and party trickery. The masses of the
people of all parties are honest, and q really in
favor of fair political contests, of the purity OF
the ballot-box, an honest expression OF opln-
ion. and guarantee of the rule to the MAORI
ty. They are tired Of political trickery, and
the harsh grinding of political machinery, is no
more music in their cars.
The true principle of republican liberty. that
which distinguishes it from monarchleal suhec-
ton, is that the majority shall rule. This is a
principle which we all theoretically acknowl-
edge: to deny it. would subject him who did SO
to charge of anti-republican, anti-democratlc
belief But how have our parties, through the
means of their party machinery and and tricke
~, ignored this faith, and warped it to their
will. made it subservlent to their selfish ends
They have first established the principle, and
rung it in the ears of their disciples, that party
fealty is higher duty than aught else. and this
embracing as it does, the acknowledgment o.
the principle that party like the king "can dc
no wrong" has blindly led on the party adhe
rents under the dictation and guidance of men
rather than principles-and often of men of a
character which, under other circumstances
would make them be considered unsafe to be
trusted.
There may come time, but We fear it viii
