An illustration.

General Bruce, of New York, once
made the following apt illustration, in
his speech at u Union meeting, held at
Horticultural Hall. Speaking of the
position assumed by the politicians who
are endeayoring to mislead the Demo
cratic masses in regard to national af-
fairs he said:
Suppose, fellow citizens, the block of
buildings below here We're to burst into
a flame; our first impulse would be to
rush to the scene, and 90 TO work with
will to put out the fire, and save as
much OF the property as we could. Per
haps we might all be horrifled to learn
that women and children were yet in
that burning block. 1t would be nat
ural, under these circumstances, to re-
double our energies, and save them if
possible. Your steamers, your hose car
riage, your hooks and ladders, all man
ned by your brave tiremen, would be
there in full activity No one would
stop for single moment to ascertain
what caused the fire, whether it was
the work OF design or the result of ac-
cident. Under circumstances such as
these, what would you think of class
of men, who might chance TO meet a
short distance of, in the very presence
of the heat and glare OF the confla-
grafton, and pass resolutions such as
these:
Rcsolrca, That the fire appears to be
increasing, and that it is not possible for
the tiremen TO eXtinguish it.
Rcsoired, That we are not in favor
of such fire, and that it ought to be put
out.
Rcsolped, That fire engine No. ought
TO take water from plug around the
corner, and, instead of playing a big
stream on the burning property, should
play on the building on the south side
of the way.
Resoiped, That the people are in dam
ger of losing a supply of water from
Paramount, unless the tiremen stop using
it so freely TO put out the fire.
Rcsoirea, That we are in favor of put
ting out the fire by more conciliatory
measures than throwing water upon it.

Beloved. where the golden waves
Leap forward up the golden sands,
And all the voices of the sea
Mingie their music with the lands,
Eve watched and waited many year,
To see thy angel robes appear
In the deep blue of yon far sky
But not a silent wing went by.
And still wait and still weep.
Where blend the tones Of shore and deep.
