DROWNED "A German, named Frederi ok
Klink, about % years of age, was drowned
Sunday morning, in Selden's Pond, near the
Cemetery, on the West Side. Klink and d
companion named VIM. Coggswell, went to
the pond at about five o'clock, for the pur.
pose of bathing. Neither of them could
swim. Kiink plunged into the water, prob
ably supposing 1t to be shallow; and it being
much deeper than he anticipated, was un.
able TO sustain himself on its surface and
sunk. Before aid could reach him he was
beyond suscitaton-though every effort
was mnde to restore life. Kink was en-.
ployed by VIM. B, Gilbert, of the California
Hotel, corner of Pearl and Wiley streets
and was an upright and trustworthy young
man. lie is the last Of three persons con.
nected with Mr.. Gilbert's household who

screws and supporters, raise the houses and
under-bui!d them. / yesterday saw row
Of houses, four story brick houses, with o
front of twcnty.four windows, thus raised
IN one mass some ten feet, and q whole sto.

to the new grade. People were living in
the houses, with their eeroniums in the win.

ticed that there were present, Hon. EIisha
Taylor, the Superintendent of the first Sun

The first Sunday School was established
about the year 1920, and its successful prose-
cution was al up hill business in those days.

Of the good done by those early pioneers in

greater than the wealth of the Indies could
bestow - Cleveland Revie,o, June 20th.

THE EVE OF ELECTION.

The EVE VI EAEGlIUNs
BY j. G. WHITTIER.
From gold TO gray. our mild sweet day
OF Indian summer fades too soon,
But tenderly, above the sea,
Hangs white and calm, the hunters moon.
In its pale fire the village spire
shows like the zodac's spectral lance:
The painted walls, whereon it falls
TRANSPORTED stand in marble tTancel
Ger fallen leaves the west wind grieyes
Yet comes the seed time round again.
And morn shall see tile State sOwn free
With baleful tares, or healthful grain.
Along the street the shadows meet
OF Destiny, whose hands conceal
The molds of fate that shape the State,
And make or mar the common veal
Around see the powers that be,
I stand by Empires primal springs;
And princes meet in every street,
And hear the tread of uncrowned kings,
Hark. through the crowd the laugh runs loud
Beneath the sad rebuking moon
God save the land a careless hand
May shake OF swerye ere mOrroW'S noon!
No jest in this-one cast amiss
May blast the hope of Freedoms year,
o! take me where are hearts of prayer,
And foreheads bowed i'll reverend fear,
Not lightly fall beyond recall,
The written scroll breath can float:
The GROWING fact, the kinglieSt act
OF freedom, is the treeman's vote,
For pearls that gem a diadem,
The diver in the deep sea dives;
The legal right we boast to night
Is ours through cOstlier sacrifice.
The blood of Vane, his prison pain,
Who traced the path the Pilgrims trod
And hers whose faith drew strength from death,
And prayed her Russell up to God!
Our hearts grow cold-we lightly hold
The right which brave men died to gain;
The stake, the cord, the axe. the sword,
Grim nurses at Its birth Of pain
Your shadows rend, and DER us bend,
o, martyrs! with your crowns and palms,
Breathe through these thongs your battle song
Your scatfold prayer and dungeon psalms!
Look for the sky, like Gods great eye,
Through solemn moon with searching beam,
Till in the sight of thy pure light
Our mean selfseekings meaner seem.
Shame from our hearts unworthy arts,
The fraud designed, the purpose dark;
And Smite away the hands we lay
PrOfanely on the sacred Ark.
The party claims, and private arms,
Reveals that August face of Truth
To which are given the age of Heaven,
The beauty OF immortal youth.
So shall our voice of sovereign choice
Swell the deep bass of duty done,
And strike the key of time to be
When God and men shall speak as one
