more striking portions Of this unparalleled passage. As

Mt. Robinson concludes his glowing tribute to wO-
mans beauty in the following words which would be
crilsge in us to attempt TO praise:
Like beacon rising above the stormy ocean of life
she has served 20 lead him safely through all its hidden
rocks and shoals and 70 the tranquil present and
she has uursed her children before her Cod and now,
their journey almost complete the old couple sit ogeh
er To you5 eyes her beauty is not it was in her
blooming Wouaalooi-bUtt to his thousand times great
er To be sure her brow is furrowed but those marks
are only the scars which she has earned in combating
his cares aud trials; be her eve is bright
when first t thrilled bis heart-5ut what of that Gould
10 have looked all the love IL has looked and remain
To be her form is not so straight when in the
DAYS Of Young love they rambed together; but dear
me- think Of the many little ones she has nursed IN her
arms since then. Show me the nation that IS ashamed
Of its wounded soldier O. he would rather have her
she is covered over with the Of lOveis she not
beautiful stils And now, their long long, sometime
joyful sometime sOrrOwiu journey is almost complete,
the old couple sit there side by side"
We dare not even i,acise this touching conclusion
Il George Wade Robinson ESQ will have the goodness
to us sill retire to the adjoining Our
bureau there and in the top drawer thereof are our
handkerchief We need them all. There is not dry
eyein our head
Intense Democratic Harmony.
