SrEANE Custom maidens of India
have strange custom, which Mrs. Browning
has beautifully poetizsd in the Romance
Of the Gauges" Ia the darkness Of night
they go down to the banks OF that sacred
river, each carrying tiny boat which they
are to set adrift upon the stream.
"Each carries lamp, and carries flower,
And carries hope unsaid."
II the lamp continues to burn until it is
lost in the distance, good fortune is beto
kened, bat woe to the hapless maiden
whose lamp goes out at once.
sand when the boat hath carried the lamp
Unquenched till out of sight,
The maiden is sure that love will endure,
Love will fail with light"
Now life is our sacred river. We have
| launched our little bark upon it. 1t bears
a light, and it bears soul, and it bears u
hope unsaid But we have not even the
poor privilege Of seeing il bear it's freight
even hands breadth forward into the
future. Our light our hopes, and our.
selves, are all embarked together. We
drift on into darkness. The next momen,
our little taper may expire. But God gran
that life and hope may not depart together

Tnxiue Inited STATES bonds.

General Cox is undoubtedly opposed to
asking capitalists, who have made invest-
Nfnelits In United States Bonds to have the
/, capital thus invested listed to contribute
either by an assessment on the whole cap
ital, or by an assessment on the interest
derived therefrom, to help pay the
State, County and Municipal taxes. He
don't want them to contribute anything
from that capital to pay the big salaries the
late Abolition Legislature provided for the
State officials; he don't want them to pay
anything from it to pay for the mainte-
nance of poor soldiers, who, in the War,
were disqualified tor any sort of work; he
don't want them to pay anything from it to
educate the poor soldiers children, and, we
presume, he don't want them to pay any
thing from it to enable him to experiment
with his, crazy colonization scheme, if he
shall be elected. We arrive at this conclu-
sion because the State j oanal on Monday
morning asserted that the advocacy of tax
alton for United States Bonds, or of taxing
the interest arising therefrom, was prompt
ed by q ''line of view" ''out of harmony
with patriotism" That is, it is ''disloyal'
to advocate such taxation.

From The Cleveldnd Leader of the 9th in

pointed piece OF ridicule that has yet been
thrust at General Cox:
Another " Important, Public Document "-Gen.
X Co1'S Plan Indorsed.
The Cincinnati Commercial, which, by-the-
by, is enthusiastic over General CoX's letter,
publishes the following unique epistle,
which we copy, as it confirms General CoX's
statement that the soldiers return from the
war with increased pride of race" and also
because it presents that gehtleman's plan OF
reconstruction even more briefly and torci-
bly, than his own letter. Indeed, the docu-
mentbelow has an earlier date than General
Cox's manifesto, and John A. Clark" may
very fairly contest with Generals Sherman
and Cox the honor of originating the scheme
promulgated in the famous letter Of the lat
