BY JOHN @. WHITTIER

LThe following new and beautiful poem. from
!" hitler, will be recognized by those who have ever
lcen near his cottage, as a Picture of Sunset on
he Banks of the Merrimac.l
No bird-song foated down the hill.
The tangled bank below was STILL
No rustic from the lirchen stem,
No ripple from the waters hem.
The dusk of twilight round us grew,
We felt the falling of the dew;
For, from US, ere the day was done,
b The wooded hills shut out the sun.
But on the rivers farther side
we saw the hill'tops glorifed,-
tender glow, exceeding fair,
dream of day, without its glare
With us the damp, the chill, the gloom;
with them the sunsets rosy bloom;
While dark through willowy vistas seen,
The river rolled in shade between.
From out the darkness where we trod
We gazed upon those hills of God,
Whose light seemed not of moon or sun.
We spake not, but our thought was one
We paused, as if from that bright shore
Beckoned our deer ones gone before
And stilled our beating hearts to hear
The voices lost to mortal ear
Sudden our pathway turned from night;
The hills swung open to the light;
Through their green gates the sunshine showed
n long, slant splendor downward flowed
Down glade and glen and bank it rolled;
1t bridged the shaded stream with gold
And, borne on piers of mist, allied
The sladOwy with the sunlit side!
So pray we, "when our feet draw near
The river, dark with mortal fear
And the night cometh chill with dew,
o. Father!-let thy light break through!
So let the hills of doubt divide
SO bridge with faith the sunless tide!
So let the eyes that fail on earth
On thy eternal hills look forth;
And in thy reckoning angels know
The dear ones whom we loved belowr'

MessrS Editors MANY of your readers
particularly in this vicinity, will strongly bring
to mind the personal appearance and ''dis.
tant recollection" of former resident of Wor-
cester, by the publication the following from
the Stockton Daily Argus Of Feb. 8. Ills
name was Holmes-it was.
"DoEsTIcKs" ATTENDS A CALICO PARTY.
In attendance upon the Calico Party given
by the ladies at the City Hall in this city on
the evening of the 10TH might have been seen
wandering mountain editor dressed in tight
lifting coat with brass buttons, cravat and vest
in the most approved style of negbgee, and per-
sonal appearance generally indicating the alb
sence OF everything that could be construed in
to snobism. Said editor is known among his
more intimate personal friends as a right
good fellow )" but among the editorial frate,
nifty he was recognized as the "Doesticks" of
the California press. In a late issue of his pa
per, the Mariposa Gazette, we find the follow
ing:
IF the people of Stockton eschew balls as
prejudicial to the morality of the community,
they do not calico parties and other like Assem-.
blages, where they can indulge their Terpsi-
chorean procivilties. These affairs are common
IN Stockton, and by the way, pleasanter par
ties rarely occur. The ladies dress in calico.
and then give way the dresses, as we under
stand the arrangement We saw, upon re-
cent occasion, at the City Hall, Stockton, two
or three very elegant "calicoes" flirting about;
rather costlle, too, Judging from what could be
seen OF the stuttlng sticking out through each
end of the dress. We rather coveted one or
two OF them-the dress we mean-tor a char
liable purpose but they were not offered and
we dared not ask"

The Method OF Electipr a president

There is no question but that our present
method Of electing important public officers
are regarded with serious distrust by some old
and much experienced men. The convention
system is so often misused-controlled by
few for corrupt purposes, except when in sea-
sons of especia! excitement, the popular will
expresses itself with especial power-that the
wonder is why so few unrepublican schemes
have been devised or suggested to take its
place. One old gentleman, who claims to have
lived through every administration elected I'M
der the constitution, and whose concern for the
republic intensifes itself With his declining
years, Celebrates new plan for the election of
a President, which he INDUCES the hope
would save us from the deplorable peril
which seems to him to yawn for our
destruction. This proposition is none 9th
er than to substitute a new article to the
constitntion-providing for the election of pres
ident and vice president from among the old
est class of Senators-the former by blind
ballot, and the latter by a ballot of the Sena-
tors. AS the mode of election is somewhat
unique and peculiar, we present its essential
points 1T is proposed, at the time specified
for the election, to have the name of each
Senator of the third class, who is eligible to
the presidency under the constitution, written
on one of similar cards, folded in opaque en-
veopes, placed in transparent revolving
ballot box, properly constructed for mixing
and drawing the ballots. In other similar and
separate envelopes are to be enclosed similar
Diank cards, excepting that one of the latter

| THURSDAY, March 1.-The consideration of
the bill to strike the word white" from the mi
litia law came up in the Senate, and Mr.. Whit
| ing of Plymouth made lengthy and able adj
dress in defence of the bill. He claimed that
| the state militia was not under the restriction
of the militia of the United States, and that
colored men had just claim on the recogni-
ton of the state on the ground of public service
in the revolution and in the war of 1872. Sew
eral motions to delay the vote were made and
lost, when the bill was passed to thiid read
ing by a vote Of "a to 8. The act changing
the place of holding the courts in Berkshire
county was passed to be engrossed with an
amendment maeing the act contingent on the
approval of majority of the voters of the
county. The bill to exempt sewing machines
from attachment was passed with the House
amendments. The bill relating to the militia
was rejected-10 to 16.
The town OF Taunton sent petition to the
House, asking the establishment of city gov.
eminent there, and the mayor of Lowell ask
ing for that city the power to fix the COM
pensation of the school committee. The re-
solve providing for an amendment to the con-
stituton providing for the election of judges
OF probate and insolvency by the people was
taken up MIR. Bishop OF Lenox said that now
the appointments were Controlled mainly by
political considerations without special refer
ence to the wishes or interests OF the several
counties; that the duties were mainly admin
istrative and not judicial; and that though he
was not in favor of an elective judiciary, he
was yet disposed to favor the present resolve.
Mr.. Smith Of Boston spoke Of this as =" one of
series of assaults on the constitution" which
were ominous OF an increasing disposition to
MAKE unnecessary and pernicious changes in
the fundamental law He opposed the re-
solve. Mr.. Rice of Worcester advocated its pas.
says. 1t was but carrying out the principle
adopted years ago, when the people changed
the constitution so as to elect Commissioners
of Insolvency by the people. Mr.. Griffin of
Maiden said the people had their respect for
the Judiciary weakened by the insolence of the
courts, and proceeded to remark upon those
institutions with his usual temper and affec-
Tomato regard. Many others participated in
the discussion, and the resolve was finally re-
fused Il third reading by vote of Al to 81.
The resolve relative to annuling article I'd,
chapter Sd, of the constitution, was assigned
for consideration to Friday. The resolve in
favor of Wilbraham Academy, advancing the
money for their interest in the Back Bay lands,
was discussed at length and finally passed. No
other business OF Importance was transacted.
