Lines Written in Barbados, April
1884,
BY PARK BENJAMIN.

Oh. sweetly do the moonlight nights
Above Barbados smilel s
In truth. at such calm heurs it seems
A fair Elysian Isle; f-.
A spot which happiness might make
Her own peculiar seat,
And WOO the votaries Of love
To share her soft retreat.
A gem upon the sea it lies
An emerald on the blue
Offar surrounding waves, wherein
The stars their shadows view,
And DER whose snow-white glancing crests,
Unfurling breezes play
To watt the ships like graceful swans,
Along their liquid way. 80.
I've left behind the pleasant homes
That in New England stand,
- The mountains. valleys, streams and lakes,
OF that unfettered land,
The old familiar faces and
The gentle words of friends,
To look upon the glorious sky
That DER this island bends.
The morning ray is lovely
As it paints tAe silent sea,
And beautiful tip tender eyes,
Of evening snDle on me; ~.
But when the stars are set in Heaven,
Each like brilliant seal.
Ny spirit drinks a pure delight
Such hours alone reveal.
Such moonlight hours i'm after years
Dear memory will threw
Along the vista of the past
AInilf and chastened glow,
And wRen in colder climes the cloud
OF winter darkly lowers,
Illuminated will NV feeIinos be
By dreams of Tropie hours.
Bright island I must soon to thee
Repeat q sad farewell.
For on thy green and fruitful shores
NV loved ones do not dwell
/ go to sherished skies and them
For, oh J their stars and smiles
Are dcarer to my heart than thine,
Thou Queen of Western Isles.

CHAPTER ".

Winter came for the first time upon
city of Wakwaka. The lake was frozen;
the little steamer was safe at her moor
ings laid up for the season; the everlast-
ing sound of the putting up of houses
was almost at an end; the communica-
ton with other parts of the world was
cut off, save by wagon conveyance; the
daily. mail became a weekly one; and the
citizens and Spectators ceased to talk
about wild land and city improvements,
and turned to considering the prospect
of railroad which should connect them
with the East, and be feasible all the
year-round.
Railroad speculations could not en-
gross their minds entirely, and in their
leisure hours they were ready for any
kind of fgayety which could be improv-
ised. The young girls talked about the
fort and the officers through the day,
and dressed for frolics in the evening.
They had slcigh-rides and surprise-par
ties, aud weddings were not entirely
wanting. Every week they had ball
at the new brick hotel, the Wakwaka
House. The most aristocratic attended
these dances (of course they had an ar
istocracy, though it was not as yet clear

CHAPTER III.

Jonah's gourd, which spraug up and
fourished in night, was riralled by the
city of Wakwaka- Every time Mr.
Fielding went to town he was surprise d
by the Improvements SO rapidly made.
Bsildng materials could not be fernish
ed in the abundance required; and, while
good looking brick stores were going up,
and the solid stone foundation for fine
court house was being laid, cloth houses
were still the fashion, and considered
very cool and airy summer residences BY
the most aristocratic.
Foresight was preparing, however,
for the winter as fast as lumber could
be obtained, or clay turned into brick,
residences more substantial. 1t was
wonderful how the future prospect of cl-
egant, perhaps palatial, mansions, upon
the wide and beautifully situated lots
they occupied, reconciled delicate ladies
who had once been extremely fastidious,
to brave the horrors of canvas and two
rooms and all the hardships of new
settlement. Not such hardships as the
sturdy pioneers endure who break up
the wilderness and cause it to blossom
like rose; for Wakwaka was in daily
communication with one of the great
arteries of the country, and there was
no peril of fear or loneliness, nor priva-
tion of any iuxuries, except those Of ell.
egant furniture and spacious abodes.
"And these we shall have very soon" +"
said the ladies of Wakwaka, as they
laughed at their little trials, or condoled
with each other upon the absence of ac-
customed comforts. s .o.
And still, attracted by the growing
fame of the new city, adventurers came
hurryiDg in from every boat; men OF
broken, down fortunes; youths of courage
and energy, too hopeful and fiery to
await the slower chances of an old-set-
tied country; some already rich specu-
lators; and many hard sons of toll, which
last took up the beautiful prairie-land
and turned it into productive farms
without cost or labor more than they
would have given to cultivate land in
most places.
All this hurry. and growth, and
! strangeness, and joyful expectation pro
duced an excitement unknown and un-
appreciated where the crust of selfish
ness and couventionality had hardened

A formal ballot was afterwards taken,
(the names of Messrs. Banks, Wilson, Sum-
ner, and Wilmot having been previously
withdrawn,) which resulted almost unani-
mously in the choice of the Hon. William
L, Dayton, or New Jersey, as the candidate
of the convention for Vice President.
The committee on the Platform, to which
was referred the communication of the
'sNorth Americans" reported that they had
had conference with the delegation from
that body, but had not reached any conclu-
sion or settled upon any arrangement. The
call for the present CO invention was address
ed to all parties.
1t was resolved that committee of three
be appointed to make reply to said COM
nun icatiOn.
The convention was addressed by a large
number of speakers, including John P Hale,
of New Hampshire, John A. King, of New
York, Judge Test, of Indiana. Ex-Governor
Kent, of Maize, Senator Wilson, of Mas
sachusetts, Judge Tyler Of Connecticut,
Judge Ioar, of Massachusetts, Gen. Pom
eroy, of Kansas, and many others.
A resolution was adopted for holding a
Young Mems convention in September at
Harrisburg,
A committee was appointed to inform the
nominees of their selection, and, after pass
ing the usual resolutions of thanks, the CON
vention adjourned sine die at O'Clock p NJ.

our platform, adopted at Philadelphia. Il
promulgates its principles in no ambiguous
terms, and there is no fear that two mean

Declaration of Independence, and liberal as
the Constitution of the United States. Our
maligners will look in vain in our platform,
or in the life of our candidates for any sup

of disunton originates with the "unhung null

l have repeatedly declared, as some of you
know, that have no desire for the Presi.
dency, and that l prefer my present
position on the berch. From the partial es
timate of my services and long experience
in public affairs, my friends have supposed
that might be able TO contribute, somewhat
to the adjustment of the exciting questions
which now agitats the public mind, and
threaten dissolution of the Union. This
consideration was presented to me, as rea-
son why should not refuse to permit my
name to be used with the names of Others

understanding that l might withdraw il at

ness to my friends.

firmness and tie wisdom required to dis
charge successfully SO momentous trust
as the chief executive office at the present

abilities for so eminent charge. But my
mind has been made Up, that if elected,
would reform the government, and rest the
executive power On the great principles OF
the constitution, or fall in the attempt On
10 other condition could l accept the office
of President. This involves no sectionalism,
except that which arises from the independ-
ence of State government, and the funda-
mental law of the Union.
The time has arrived when nomination
is to be made for President. Iperceive sew
eral names are to be brought before the Con-
vention for that high office; and desire to
say to my friends that to accomplish the OBJ

and vigorous cooperation of all the elements

FOR PRESIDENT,
JOHN C.. FREMONT.

JOIlN " L iloN
The spectacle presented at this moment
was one of the most exciting character. the
immense auditory rose to their feet, vocifer-
ously cheered, and displayed the warmest
and most earnest appreciation Of the nomi-
nation.
A delegation, at this stage of the proceed
ings, entered the hall with flags, bearing the
name of Fremont for President, held aloft
This heightened the enthusiasm, which con-
tinued for many minutes, and gave rise to
cheer after cheer from the assembled mul-
tiiude.
Amid the excitement which prevailed the
flags were thrown to the delegations of the
different States as trophies of the time and
the occasion, and the recipients acknowl-
edged the presents with enthusiastic cheers,
the waving of hats, canes, and everything
movable oc showable about them.
Nine cheers were proposed for Fremont,
and given with will; nine more went up
for California; nine more for the Union; nine
more for Kansas, and so on to the end of
the chapter.
After the "noise and confusion" had some-
what subsided, the Convention adjourned in
the best spirits for the day.

necessary to take formal ballot; which for
