W. "a Ratedl.

Taking up the paper this morning
and glancing over the contents, my eye
was arrested by these words: "Wanted, i.
few more active and energetic men," 1t
was only a heading to al advertisement,
but the words haunted me all day. went
out into the streets of the busy city; at
every corner stood groups of men, loung-
ing in the warm sunshine, or idly watch
ing the comers and goers: "Wanted, few
more active and energetic men," thought
l as hurried past them. Is there no
work in all this great unfinished world for
head, and heart, and hand, that so many
arms are folded in inactivity? Are there
no storehouses of treasure locked up in
the bosom of the earth for some daring
hand to unlock; are there no wheels in the
vast machinery of nature waiting for res
olute shoulder to set in motion to roll the
world onward in the way of science and
progress? OH, for q JeeO more actiVe and
energetic men; men that dare to do great
deeds, to think great thoughts, to utter
great truths, and pull down great wrongs.
We need them everywhere, in every de-
partment. They are wanted for rulers;
great, calm, earnest men, with keen eyes
10 see through every WeD ol suDIlety ana
mist Of falsehood, to strip error ofevery
plausible covering. and hold up the truth
and the right before the people. Men
with great souls, to hold themselves at rest
among the strife and confusion, souls
that shall dwell above pollution and bri-
berry, in purer atmosphere of their own.
We want them now, when our ship of
state feels the eddying and whirling of
countless currents beneath her, when the
tempest gathers blackness every hour, and
mutiny thickens among her crew, we need
strong hands at the helm, keen eyes at the
lookout, quick arms at every rope and
sail. WANTED, wanted, a few more active
and energetic men,"

RAIN UPON THE ROOF.

Long ago, poet, dreaming,
weaving fancy'swarp and woof;
Pcnn'd II tender, soothing poem
On the "Ran upon the Roofn
Once read II, and its beauty
Filled my heart with mem'rics sweet;
Days of childhood fitted round me,
Vlolcts sprang beneath my feet
And my gentle, loving mother
Spoke again In accents mild,
Curbing every wayward passion
or her happy, thoughtless child.
Then heard tue swallows tWitt'ring
Underneath the cabin caves,
And the laughing shout Of Willie
Up among tho maple leaves. 90
Then blessed the poets dreaming,
Blessed his fancy's warp and w0ofS
And wcpt o'er memory's tleasuresy-s ---
As the rain fell on the roof
Years ago I lost the poem,
But its sweetness fingers still,
As the freshness In the valley
Marks where iiow'd the spring-time rill,
Lest To read, but not to feeling
For the rain drop never falls
O'er my head with p2tterinR music,
But II peoples mem'ry 's halls
With the old, familiar faces,
Loved and treasured long ago;
Treasured now, US in lifc's spring-timc,
For my heart no change can know.

Then my grcy hairs press the pillow,
Holding all the world aloof,
Dreaming swcetly, as listen
To the rain upon tho roof.
Evory pattering drop that falleth,
Sccmeth like an angels tread,
Bringing messages of mercy
TO the weary heart and head,
Pleasant thoughts Of years departed,
Pleasant soOthings for to-day,
Earnest longing for tomorrow,
Hopings for the faraway;
For know each drop that falleth
Comes to bless tho thirsty earth,
Making seed to bud and blossom,
Springing all things into birth.

awe may as we'll fraternate with and
support Seward for the Presidency, as for
Southern Democrats to support Douglas,
whom they have denounced very recently

CoRREcr SPEAKnG.-We advise all
young people to acquire in early life the
habit of using good language, both in
speaking and writing, and to abandon as
early as possible the use of slang words
and phrases. The longer they live the
more difficult the acquisition of such Ian
guage will be; and if The golden age Of
youth, the proper season for the acquisi-
ton of language, be passed in its abuse,
the unfortunate victim of neglected edu-
cation is very probably doomed to talk
slang for life. Money is not necessary to
procure this education. Every man has
it in his power. He has merely to use the
language which he reads, instead Of the
slang which he hears, to form his taste
from the best speakers and poets of the
country; to treasure up choice phrases in
his memory, and habituate himself to
their use--avoiding at the same time that
pedantic precision and bombast which
show rather the weakness of vain ambi-
ton than the polish of an educated
mind

The reception Of the Soft delegation from Kings
County at Syracuse yesterday was naked abuse
of power. Nobody could have imagined that it
was the fair thing. Kings County is VIGOROUSLY,
preaminently Hard, and was never anything else.
On the direct Hard and Soft issue in 1883, it gave
for Secretary of State, Clinton Hsrd), 1904 votes
Verpanck (Son), 1921; and this is just about the
usual proportion between the two factions. Every
body acquainted with such matters knows that
Brooklyn is Hard and that the Hard leader, Judge
Vanderbilt, is the Chairman of the regular Demo
cratic Committee. But Cagger & Co. had prom
ised to put the knife to Wood and found themselves
obliged to make clean job of it. If they had
on, made il rule that no Hard should SIT as .
Delegate at all, they would have shortened their
lsbors and shown more consistency.
