HOME OF MY CHILDHOOD.

Oh. the home Of my childhood is dear to me ys
Each lane and nook can see,
And the loved ones at home can never forget,
And know they oft think Of me.
The orchard that Stands at the forks of the road.
And the school-house just over the way,
The old bridge that spans the river SO broad
can see them in fancy to-day.
The old barn that stood at the foot Of the hill
Has long since fallen to the ground;
And the spring-house down by the gurgling rlil
Methinks can still hear the sound;
And the long shady lane with its carpet of green
Where at twilight Pve wandered alone;
And dsar to my heart Is that childhood's scene
Though in distant lands may roam.
The loved ones stin gather round the wide Oper
door,
OF calm summers twilight even,
And talk of the absent-and their voices grow
lower,
AS they speak of the loved ones in Heaven.
And the old home is dear--how dear tony heart,
With it's old rustic porch, where the roses
entwine;
And oft in the still hours of night do start,
And weep as think of the dear old times.

laughter they rent the airl

Daniel s. Dickinson.

Daniel S. Dickinson is, and has been life long,
a Democrat. In the peculiar political nOmen.
cnture Of the Stnte OF New York, he is called
Hurd Shell" or - Hard" This appelAton IL
We remember rightly arose out Of the division Of
the Democratic party which took place in 1913.
The .lunkers supported Uass the regular noini
nee. the Barnburners, ms they were called, boiled
and nominated Martin Van Buren,. Afterwards
when the two wings, humbled by defeat, agreed
to work together again, n real division was still
easily dehnable beneath the outward union, and
the distinction was indicated by tho terms
" Hard She'll" which was the new name for
bunker, the distinguishing feature of which was
the unlimited support which it gave to the
Southern Democrats, and Soft Shell, which
! included the tender cUnscienced Barnburners
The distinguishing characteristic of this wit G.
was devoted love for the spois OF victory. Its
! shrewdness compreheuded that this darling
desire could not he attained without the aid OF
the "linrds," while Il snlulary fear Of the masses
who were to furnish the votes by which il wns
TO be lifted Into power, prevented it from rem
dering open homage to slavery. The result was,
u acquired nm astonishing EXPERIENCES in the ant
OF being on both sides Of fence at the same
time. The llards in the days of their glory
never attempted this. They stood squarely
upon tho platform of Southern Rights" and
every demand of the slave power found in them
ready supporters. For years Mr.. Dickinson has
been the acknowledged chief of this party, OF
rather wing. lie never sweryed from his posi-.
ton, even when the raging torrent Of parlizan
necessity had carried awny almost every other
leader. We believe that even amid ii c dis
graceful prOAigacy of his party in the campaign
OF last year, he repudiated their action, and
was one of the few who voted u straight Breckin
ridge electoral ticket. II there is in the North.
man who has been consistent supporter Of
Southern politicians, Daniels Dickinson is that
mon, and a. such they recognized him. But
where do we fluid him now The South has torn
and desecraled the flag of his country-has
murdered his brothers, who stood to defend that
land and that government which he loves, till
their llfe-hOod had proved their devotion--and
there stands the old man on the side of his
country aud IFS government, erect while many
have mllen, his grey hairs glatening in the line
OF her defenders, being indeed crown of true
glory for his old age
