The Republican Party.

The Cincinnati Commercial, which has
consistently supported the Republican par
ty, in late issue says:
at will be unfortunate for the Republi-
can party to be obliged 20 60 into the next
Presidential canvass upon its platform
alone, for the reason that it is doctrinally
erroneous. 1t sets up that which is not
true, and which, We are convinced, no ma
jority of the people. even of the Northern
States will endorse. If the Republican
party elects its candidate. it must be done
BY forces that are now looked upon as be-
longing to the Democracy. Ithas not the
necessary strength of its own; and things
remaining as they are the result of the COM
ing battle seems to us to be more than q
matter of doub:. In order to gain the nec-
essary force from the other side. it must
remove the obstacles that stand on it's plat
form--obstacles that sent thousands into
Democratic ranks at the late election. Hav-
ing felt it right all things considered. to
give our support to the Republican candi-
date at the last Presidential election. and
having faithfully sought to discover the
agencies which wrought most strongly to
prevent his success, we feel some compe-
teney to speak upon this point We do
not discover tha; the Republican party is
any stronger than it was in 1856. The
charge of sectionalism made against the
party upon the testimony Of its platform.
was true then and is true still. The Sec
tionalism was then a cause of weakness; it
has been and will continue to be 30. It
was not necessary in any aspect of the
case. The people did not demand it; and
they are less willing to tolerate 1t now than
when the issue made by the platform was
obscured by one moro imminent, because

A Woman's Poem.
You say you love me. and you lay
Your hand and fortune at my feet:
/ thank you, Sir. with All my heart.
For love is sweet.
1t is but little to you. mer.
To whom the doors Of Life stand wide;
But much, how much. to woman! She
Has naught beside.
You make the worlds wherein you move:
You rule your tastes, or coarse. OF fine;
Dine. hunt. or fish, or waste your:gold
At dice and wine!
Our world (alas! you make that, too!)
Is narrower-shut in four blank walls:
Know you, or care. what light is there?
What shadow falls?
We read the last new novel out,
And live in dream land till it ends:
We write romantic school CIR; notes
That bore our friends.
We learn to trill Italian notes,
And thrum for hours the tortured keys:
We think it pleases you. and We
But live to please!
We feed our birds. we tead our flowers
Poor indoor things of sickIy bIoom!)
Or play the housewife in our gloves.
And dust the room.
But some Of US have hearts and minds?
So much the worse for US and you;
For grant we seek better lite,
What can we do?
F5e cannot build and sail your ships,
Or drive your engines: we are weak,
And ignorant Of the tricks Of trade:
To think. and speak.
Or write some earnest, stammeri1g words,
Alone is ours. and that you hate;
So forced within ourselves again.
We sigh and wait.
Ah! who can tell the bitter hours,
The dreary days that women spend?
Their thoughts unshared. their lives uu.

Her lover. he: a gallant man.
Devoted to her every whim;
He vows to 6ie for her, So she
Must live for him!
We should be very grateful. Sir.
That. when you've nothing else to do.
Yov waste your idle hours on us:
So kind of you'll
Profuse in studied compliments,
Your manners. like your clothes. are 6ne.
Though both at times are somewhat strong
OF smoke and winel
Wha: can we hope to know of you?
Or you of us? We act our parts:
We love in jest: it is the play
Of hands, not hearts!
You grant my bitter words are true =
Of others, not Of you and me:
Your love is steady as star;
Bat we shall see.
You say you love me: have you thought
How much these little words contain?
Alas! world Of happiness.
And worlds Of pain!
You know. or should. your nature now,
Its needs and passions. Can I be

A Story.

The reader is requested to believe the
following story in every particular:
When a young man was travelling in
western New York, and late of stormy
night applied at log cabin for lodging.
The occupant. a woman, refused l., saying
her husband and sons were out hunting,
and if they found me there would murder
me. / preferred the chances to the storm
and she consented that might lie down
before the FIRE. H. the night heard them
coming and scrambled up The chimney.
Thinking l was safe when at the top, 1
stepped over the roof, and jumping down
at tie back of the cabin, struck plump in
to a wolf trap. A scream Of pain from
me brought the men and boys on. and they
declared deserved much more severe
punishment tkan death; 50 they kept ME
both in the trap and suspense until morn
ing. and heading me up in a hogshead with
no light or air but the bung hole, they
putting me on sled, drove me some four
miles up hill, and then rolled me off to
starve. This should have undoubtedly
done. but for very singular occurrence.
The wolves smelled nae out and gathered
around my prison. when one Of them, in
turning around. happened to thrust his
tail into the bung-hole. 1t WAS my only
chance / caught firm hold. and held
on like death to negro, which frightened
the wolf, of course, and he started down
hill followed by the hogshead and me. It
was very uneasy ride over the stones and
russ; but had no idea how long It was an

in, and jumped out and found myself way
down in the lower end of Cataraugus coun-

To the Dear Ones at Rustic Home
by GEO. W. RAvExswooD COMBS.

BY GEO. w. RAvESswooD COMBS.
De YOU miss me, mother dear,
When the evening sun is setting;
When the shadows gather round you,
And the passing hour is fitting;
When twilight deepens into night,
When thoughts and wishes roam,
Say mother, do you miss your boy
In our dear old Rustic Home7
And father do you miss me,
When in the morning gray,
You rise the struggling sun to view,
And g,eet the coming day;
When in the busy cares Of life,
You list to sorrows moan,
Say father, do you miss yourboy
From our dear old Rustic Home7
Dear sisters do you miss me,
When IN the evening hour.
You gather round the hearthstone
Or in the shaded bower;
When rambling in the green old woods.
Where the flowerets bud and bloom,
Say sisters. miss you brother George
From our dear old Rustic Hemel
