to strong feeling, may call it prejudice, in
favor of the men who unflinchingly maintain DEM
ocratic principles who never look to personal con-
sequences,-but unhestatingly follow out their po-
litical faith, wherever it may lead them Among
the young men whom we have remarked during this
and former Legislature, we know none who bears
more stainless escutcheon than the gentleman whose
name heads this article. We have never known
him to give to a section what was due to the State,
and though seldom taking part in the proceedings
of the House, he is ever present, an attentive and
interested observer. We know of no man. in whose
fidelity to old line democracy, we have stronger
fth and we give this public testimony in JUSTICE to
Mr.. Love- as one of the rery few who have never
shirked or shruEk from avowng his principles
With his clear intellect, sound Judgement pure pa
triotsm and sterling democracy, he is worthy of all
confidence, and We hope his constituents will long
retain him in their service only change to give him
ahghcr and more extended trust When that day
comes, as come it will, we are willing to pledge
ourselves that he will deserve the honor for he has
proved his fidelity when many wavered. Because
we know him WELL we place him first in our notices

PERSEVERANCE.

"Great men are not all ways wise" is an
adage that needs no illustration at our hands.
Great men may do very foolish things and
be anything but great outside of their sphere
of eminence. Every politician knows that
the greatest General in the world may write
letters of which school boy should be a.
shamed. And because man be eminent
as statesman, is no reason to rely upon him
as a superior fnancier, or philanthropist.
Yet all great men, whether of the field or
the forum, whether the dispenser of peace
from the pulpit, or mercy to the inmates of
the prison, of whatever grade or sphere,
have had all one Observation-Disclosures
auce. Alexander is among the first names
on the first pages of history. Yet, had he
lived in our day, his appellation would have
been "Alexander the fool" for certainly no
fool of his time was ever more foolish than
he. His whole course of life was an almost
continuous display Of unwise rashness. But
he possessed will, and perseverance that
made him conqueror in all that he under.

Now as the principles of science are ser.

study of ourselves and the history of our

of farms and farming in that country, that

Once, do remember well-'twas in Life's early

With heart bowed down with sorrow-being all
Like lone tempest. tossed mariner: Life's sea-
Around my frail bark surged and tossed in wild
fury;
Sweeping on with mighty surge, the waters Of
Adversity-
Wild billowy brine, on, on, dashed with headlone
impetuosity,
Thro' whirlpools Of Misfortune, o'er the rapids Of
Dependency,
Madly pitching thro sorrows channels, dark
and gloomy,
Down the falls of Despair to the dread rocks iot
Destruction.
Hopes fair sky grew murky and was hung with
an inky festoon-
Cruel Fortune refused to smile and all vas dark
desolate gloom;
Till from on high on All-powerful-arm down
reach'd and roll'd away
The black clouds of Trouble; barbaric Night
then winged her flight
The sum- the glorious sum- burst forth, and all ,ca'

A PICTURE FROM REAL LIFE.
BY EDWIN HERIOT.

They are weaving garlands for her youthful brow,
Whence came those laughing groups that shout in
song
SO merrily-and trip with gladsome steps
Across the verdant lawn-these gay festoons
O'erhanging chaste and tasteful arbors-bowers
Of fairest green-bouquets of richest colors
In gay variety? 'Tis Friendships tribute
To modest viItue-see-the are bringing flowers !;
She of the sparkling eye and rose.like cheek
Is chosen Queen of May-and all the rest
Have come to bid her welcome. Each loud peal
Of voices spreading far the grateful news
And all preparing for to.morrows dawn
How JoWfully!
They are weaving now shroud-afuneral shroud !;
And who are they that stand in palsied silence
Around that bier? What placid features these?
The same calm smile ALIAS then can it be
That same insatiate spoiler hath been hero,
And dashed from Beauty's cheek those brilliant
hues
That did but yesterday such life impart?
Yes-shc of the glossy ringlets, lightsome step
And Joyous heart, lies cold in Deaths embrace !!
Scarce closed the eve that ushers in the morn
When that fair coronet would deck her head,
And now-pale forms are bending Ger the sleeper
Clad in Deaths robes their tears fast coursing
Hoc silently!
They are weaving yet crown-a glittering crown |;
Who now are these that stand around yon throne
Of Light, encrcled with bright diadems?
Lo that celestial choir are welcoming
A recent guest within their happy circle,
Sweet messengers of Mercy come-and she
Whose brow was destined for coronet
Of fading earth, now wears, we trust, a crorn
OF ncUer fading beauty. Mortal hence
A lesson learn-she, whose brief history
Is here, was once as bright with hope as thou,
Seek then to wear that crown-to reach that goal
Triumphantly!

myself into the belief that i am listening

there is a philosophic compact betwecen

A Man DYING TwIcE.-A man died
A the Seventeenth Ward n day or two
ago, who might be said to have died once
before, and been recalled to life by sin
gular circumstance. He had suffered for
long time from consumption, and grow
ing weaker and weaker, and more and
more attenuated, until he could not stand
or speak. He felt that he had but few
days to live, and made every preparation
for approaching dissolution. His wife
watched beside him, and one morning, he
beckoned 10 her TO put her head to his
lips, when he whispered, 81 am going,
Jane" and took her hand. A slight
spasm passed through his frame; dead
ly pallor overspread his face; his eyes
rolled upward, and the rattle Of death was
heard in his throat. AT that moment his
wife screamed, and he started up with
new vigor, and asked family: "Why did
you do that! Why did you not let mo
die in peacel' From that moment he
began TO recover and grow stronger, and
IN q month was enabled TO leave his bed
and work at his trade. He lived for near
" two years after that strange event, but
finally was attacked with a return of his
old complaint, and died after an illness Of
three months. Cincinnati Enquirer.

HEROIC POVERTY.


Talking about the heroism displayed
upon the battlefield, what is that, asks
a cotemporary, compared to the herosim
of poverty! Think minute over the
idea. The hod carrier who supports
family of eight children and two dogs on
a dollar day, displays more true heroism
than is required TO effect conquest on a
battle field. Gen. Sabre will face bat
terry of a hundred guns without flinching,
but if called upon to face an unpaid cred
itor four times week, as Trowel, the
bricklayer, does, when out of work, he
would grow low spirited, and take to arse
mic in fortnight. The heroism of the
battlefield is kept up by bass drums,
claronets and praise from newspapers.-
Such heroism may not be matter of
principle: but there is no questioning the
courage required in the prosaic duties of
life, the bringing up family by shedding
perspiration at the rate of ten cents an
hour, is hcroism.
