CONSOLIDATION IN ST.. LoUIs.-The people
Louis are having rare time over the con-
solidation of their city and county govern
ments. This project is so intensely popular
that not only the tax payers are to have the
benefit of it., but even the politicians are
struggling to turn it to account. The Demo.
Gratis being out of office. are, of course, in
favor of the scheme, as it will give them a
chance to get in. They are, therefore, in
tense consoidationists, and they cannot think
of permitting their opponents to share any
OF the honor; or, in fact, to have any thing
to do with the reorganization of the govern
ment. On Monday night last they (the Dem.
ocrats) held meeting in the rotunda of the
Court House. According to the report in
the Republican G. ID. IL Armstrong was an.
pointed Chairman, "a number Of vice presi-
dents and secretaries were chosen, and
committee appointed to draft resolutions ex-
pressive of the sense Of the meeting. The
committee reported preamble and reselu-
ton, the former setting forth the necessity
for consolidation, and the latter recommend
ing the selection by the chair of committee
OF ten to confer with the delegation in the
Legislature from this county, as the best way
to carry out the views expressed They
were adopted unanimously. Speeches were
made by I. G. Johnson, Thomas c. Reynolds
Judge Bowlin, and others, all favoring the
idea embodied in the call for the meeting.
The committee of ten referred to will be an.
nounced, we presume, by the chairman here
after"

Over the River.
ny MISS NANCY A. w. PRIEST

The following is one of those beautiful
poems which win live for ever:
Over the river they beckon to me
~, Loved ones who'ye crossed to the further side.
Inc CLEAN of their snowy robes see,
but their voices are drowned in the rushing
tide. .
Aheres one with ringlets of sunny gold,
,, ana eyes the reflection ofheavens own blue;
lie crossed in the twilight gray aud cold,
~, And the pale mist hid him from mortal view.
we saw not the angels that met him there;
The gate fthe city we could not see
Over the river, over the river,
My brother stands waiting to welcome me;
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another-the household pet
Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale
Dnrling Minnie see her yet!
She crossed on her bosom her gentle hands
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark
we watched 1t glide from the silver sands,
ana all our sunshine grew strangely dark
we know she is safe on the further side,
Wnere all the ransomed and angels be;
:, Over the river, the mystic river
My childhood's idol is waiting for me,
FOR none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale;
we near the dip ofthe golden oars,
AND catch glimpse of the snowy sail.
And 10! they have passed from our yearning
hearts,
ueJ CFosS tue Stream ana are gone lOr aye.
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates of day.
We only know that their barks no more
May sail with us Ger life's stormy sea
Yet somewhere, l know, on the unseen shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me.
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
In flushing river, and hill and Shore
shall stand one day by the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatman's oar;
shall watch for the CLEAN of the tapping soil,
shall hear the boat as it nears the strand
| shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
TO the better shore of the spirit land
shall know the loved who have gone bofore,
And joyfully sweet shall the meeting be
When over the river, the mystic river,
The Angel If Death shall carry mo-
