The Dead Democray.

democracy is dead" say the radt
Gals. Yes, dead as truth crushed to
earth dead as Christ crucifed; dead
as philosophy died with the crushing
Of Gslileo dead as discovery died in
the impotency Of Columbus dead as
liberty died in the dark days Of the
Revolution; dead as the steam con-
fined.
Amid the din of battle-amid tlo
clash of opinion in high circles for four
years past, Democracy, that element
indicative and productive of peaceful
prosperity and national greatness, has
been apparently powerless. Now, how
ever, while fanatics and fools pronounce
it dead, with slow, measured sted it is
distinguishing as element never rose be-
fore-rising to conquer, to control, to
govern.
The dead principle lives not alone
in the breasts Of the so called "sympa-
thizers;" it lives in the hearts Of the
national soldiers it lives in the hearts
of the Impoverished remnant Of ,-he
Southern people; it lives among the
mass of unbought and Interchangeable
patriots of the North; it lives to con.
denim and oppose the fanaticism that
has ruled the hour
Whatever may be the results Of four
years of terrible warfare, SO far as con.
nected with the extinction of American
slavery whatever good may have been
attained by its prolopgatiou beyond the
one year necessary to do away with
secession and rebellion, Democracy
can claim none Of it 1t should claim
none.

WISHING.

OF all amusements for the mind,
From logic down to fishing.
There isn't one that you can find
So very cheap as "wishing."
A very choice diversion too,
If we but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuse it.
wish--a common wish, indeed
My purse was something tatter;
That [ might cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to flattcr;
That l might make oppression reel
AS only gold can make II,
And break the tyrant's rod Of steel
AS only gold can break it.
I wish-that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
LHaI has ltS OIlSll dDONGJ
Would come and keep in fashion;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
We're buried fifty fathoms deep,
Beneath the waves of ocean
I wish-tha friends were always true,
And motives always pure
wish the good were not so few,
Iwish the bad here fewer;
I wish that persons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching;
l wish that practicing was not
So different from preaching.
[ wish that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
wish that innocence were free
From treachery and SANDER;
lwish that men their vows would mind
That women ne'er were rovers;
wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers. . -.
wish-in fue--that JOY and mirth,
Aud every good ideal,
May come, ercwhilc, throughout thu
earth,
To be the glorious real;
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremost blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing is possessing.

Living in the Rear.
BY MARY CHIEF.

All the fashionables in our street were
out of town. Whole rows of shutters
were tightly closed, and long lines Of
doors st.colored. After passing so
many deserted homes, it was refreshing
to come upon the curtain -draped win
dows and well kept vestibule of our own
habitation. l entered quite cxuberant,
and danced through the hall, singing
"Home Sweet Home" right into the
presence of my mother and sisters, ag-
sembled in the tearoom in solemn con-
claye.
Ny eldest sister, Maria, the belle aud
beauty of the family checked my song
with the curt remark: "I don't see
anything sweet about ones home when
it happens to be in the city, and every,
body who makes any pretensions to gen.
tility is out of town."
recognized the bone OF contention
Immediately. 1t was one picked bare
every season when the contest between
inclination and ability waxed hottest.
The cause of this was all written down
in mammals account book when the in.
come refused to be at peace with the ex-
penses.
There was a mistake somewhere. The
Odell family should have had larger in
comes or feebler aspirations. Under
the present arrangement we were always
engaged in a sort of mental arithmetic
solving the algebraic problem, given a
