A House Election -. What IL Teaches.

Thousands Of voters still live In the country
who remember with what constarcy the Demo.
cratic party, as II had then just commenced
calling itself, denounced the election OF John
Quincy Adams by the House OF Represents
tives. Thirteen States voted for Mr.. Adams,
and Il was as honest an election As could take
place under that provision Of the Constitution
No corruption was ever proven upon any par
ticpant In the event. Mr.. Clay, then Repre-
sentative from Kentucky, was instrumental In
the choice Of Mr.. Adams, and, becoming sec-
ation, was pursued, nearly up to deaths door
with the fsrocity Of wolves, by pack Of Dem.
ocratic ours. who never forgave him for refus.
ing overtures 20 support Gen. jackson, who's
vote In the Electoral College exceeded that OF
Mr.. Adams. The President. In selecting his
chief Cabinet officer, chose Mr.. Clay-a COM
petitor with himself for the Presidency, but
who failed TO obtain suifciency OF votes In the
Electoral Boards to make him one Of the three
highest candidates. II Mr.. Adams had not OF.
fered Mr.. Clay the position OF Secretary OF
State, men of both parties would have been sur
prised, Just rs they now would IL Abraham
Lincoln, having the opportunity, should not
invite Mr.. Seward to the same exalted position.
There was eminent fitness In the selection made
by Mr.. Adams, and the country saw II; yet no
PARTISAN bitterness exhibited in the land within
forty years equalled that which was continu-
o,isiy displayed towards Messrs. Adams and
Clay, and all because Of the House election Of
February, 1875.
This historical fact has no other present sig
niRcance than 10 be faint indication OF what
might be the result OF sending this Presidential
ee :tion into the body prescribed BY the Con-
stitution In the event Of no choice being made
by the Electoral Boards. In 1925 men had not
learned the art IN which advances have been
made since Democracy has presided over the
public chest. The mere thought OF this elec-
ton being thrust into Congress Is enough to
excite the most unpleasant sensations In all
men except those who can look upon violence
and corruption with the utmost composure.-

THE LAST HYMN.

"There everlasting spring sbides,
And never-uithering fowers."
So sang she. one December night,
In this vintry world ofourA
The la.p-light slsnbered In the room;
withost, the storm beat cold;
Her rich voice melted through the gloom
Like waves Of liquid gold
Asa proad eagle upward floats,
So rose the grand old hymn;
Yet somewhere in its trismph-nstes
A retrospset lay din.
Her words went up the shining track
Towards Heavens resplendent bowers,
And yct they led my spirit back
To ehildhood's faded hours
Twas oftAe fature calm and vast,
That melody profound;
Thea Why did sil the buried Past
Rise, death-w white, at the sound'
+" There God the son for ever reisus,"
She sang with joyous trill;
Yet there was something in the strains
Thst made ny heart stand still
Heard by an inner sense alone,
Through all that hymn Of faith
A Low and solemn sndertone.
Keyt for ever saying =" Death"
Now. for the freside's hiekering light,
We have the summer moon,
And sad December. dresry white,
Has blossoned into June

And the soft sosni Of showers,
But she will never sing again
