First Grief.


THE following poem was written b
ames Heddlewick, a Scottish poet, br
tile known in this country. Who th'
yer lost a brother or a sister could rea
lese. lines withouta a falter in the voice
'ar in the eye?l
They tell me 6iSt and early love
outlives all after dreams;
But the memory Of the hrst great sfief
To me more lasting seems.
The grief that marks our dawning youth
To memory ever clings,
And o'er the path Of future years
Alenghened shadow filings.
Oh . of my mind recalls the hour
When 10 my fathers home
Death came, an uninvited guest,
From his dwelling In the tomb
Ihad no, seen his face before
shuddered at the sight;
And shudder yet TO think upon
The anguish OF that night!
Ayou,hful brow and ruddy cheek
Became all cold and wan;
An eye grew dim in which the light
or radiant fancy shone.
Cold was the check, and cold the brow,
The eye was fixed and dim;
And there moaned a brother dead,
Who would have died for him.
know not IL twas summer then,
I know not If twas spring;
But If the birds sang In the trees
did not hear them sing.
If flowers came forth to deck the earth,
Their bloom / did not see;
Hooked upon one withered flower,
And none else boomed for me
A sad and silent time IL was
Within the house Of woe;
All eyes were dim and overcast,
And every voice was low.
And each cheek, at intervals,
The blood appeared TO stan,
As If recalled, in sudden haste,
To aid the sinking heart
Softly we trod, rs If afraid
To mar the slesper's sleep,
And stole last looks Of his sad face
For memory 10 keep.
With him the agony was DER,
And now the pain was ours,
Asthoughts Of his sweet childhood rose,
Like otor from dead flowers.
And when nj last he was horne afar
From the worlds weary strife,
How oft In thought did we again
Live o'er his little life.
His every look, his every word,
His very volce's tone,
Come back 20 like things whose worth
Is only priced when gone!
The grief has past with years away,
And Joy has been my lot;
But one Is hong remembered,
And the other soon forgot.
The eayesl hours trip lightly by,
And leave the faintest trace,
But the deep track that sorrow wears
No time can e'er efface.

"FOR THEE AND Me- There
is an old tale, of which though
idle in itself, the use may be
good. A certain man, who
would never go to church, when
he heard the saints bell, would
say to his wife, "Go thou to
church, and pray for thee and
me" One night he dreamed
that both he and his wife were
dead, and that they knocked
together at heavens gate for
entrance. st. Peter 10y the
Legend suffered the wife to
enter in, but kept the husband
out, answering him, "she is
gone in both for herself and
thee. As thy wife went to
church for thee, 50 she must 90

The injured man dared not to
complain, but carefully search

later, to throw it in his turn at
this imperious and pitiless

was told the favorite was dis

his daughter, on the eve of her death
when she asked the stern infdel II
whose faith he would have her die, hi:
or her mothers:
"The damps of death are coming fast,
My father, Ger my brow
The past, with all its scenes, has fled,
And / must turn me now
2 To that dim future, which in vain
Myeyes seek to descry;
Tell me, my father, in this hour,
In whose belief to die.
Sin thine7 I've watched thy scornful smile
And heard thy whitening tone.
Whene'er the Christians humble hope
Was placed above thine own;
I've heard thee speak of coming death
Without shade of gloom,
And laugh at all the childish fears
That cluster around the tomb.
"Or is it In my mothers faith !?
How fondly do trace
Through many weary years long past
That calm and sanity face
How often do call to mind,
Now she's beneath the sod,
The place, the hour, in which she drew
My early thoughts to God!
Twas then she took this sacred book,
And from Its burning page
Read how its truths support the soul
In youth and falling age,
And babe me in its precepts live,
And by its precepts die,
That might share home of love,
In worlds beyond the sky.
Ny father, shall look above,
Amid this gathering gloom,
To Him whose promises of love
Extend beyond the tomb
Or curse the being who hath blessed
This eheekered heart of mine
Must embrace my mothers faith,
Or die, my sire, in thine %
The frown upon that warrior brow
Passed, like cloud, away,
And tears eOursed down the rugged check,
That flowed not till that day.

A Grand Mass Meeting

Of the soldiers and sailors Of Wisconsin
is announced to be held in Milwaukee, on
the Oath and 25th of October. 1t is ex-
pected that General Butler, General Logan,
General Carl Shurz, General Seigel, Gene
raj Millich, and other distinguished sol
diers will take part in the proceedings.
Every man is invited to be present who
has served his country by land or water
during the late war, and who believes
/. That loyalty should be rewarded,
and treason punished.
2. That soldiers who fought to sustain
the Government are entitled to greater
consideration than rebels who fought tc
overthrow it,
8. That the Representatives of the PEG
pie in Congress assembled are the proper
reconstructing power.
4. That Union men, North aud South,
who fought by the flag, should be protected
by the power of the government.
5. That the concentration. in the hands
of one man, of the vast powers which be-
long only to the people, is dangerous to
the peacepnd welfare of the country. and
g. That the Amendments to the Consti
tuition proposed by Congress are wise and
just, and should be ratified by the late re-
be!llous States prior to their admission.

The Difference.

The difference between the Union Re-
publican Party and the opposition is this !:
The Republican Party is the one that sus-
tanned Abraham Lincoln in his admins
tration, and opposed secession by shoulder
ing the musket and going to fight to put it
down, and so sastain the integrity Of the
nation. Thousands of good Union Demo-
Gratis did the same thing and are with US
today. The opposition is the party that
sympathized with the rebellion, opposed
the Government in its efforts to subdue it,
resisted the draft, skedaddled to Canada,
and threw every obstacle in their power in
the way of the Government in its efforts to
maintain the Union. It is the same party
yet and let no man be deceived in its hy-
procritical love for the Union and Consttu
ton. They are for the immediate admis-
sion Of red handed rebels and traitors in
to the halls of Congress to make laws to
govern loyal people for the admission
Of men whose hands are yet red with the
blood of thousands of our sons and broth
ers, and that without any manifestation of
repentance. The Union Republican Party
is opposed to this until some guarantee is
given that the unrepresented States are
thoroughly loyal. which is right and just,
and which no loyal man can deny.

Election Returns.

Again the Union party is triumphant
The infamous alliance of Andrew johnson
with northern Copperheadn and southern
Rebels has utterly failed. Johnson's
patronage and influences in the states of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa
could not influence the people enough to
secure the election of one additional admin
istration man, and the result is the same
in these states as in 1864, the representa-
tives 10 Congress being 4s Union and l2
Copperhead.
Pennsylvania gives Union majority of
from l5,o0O to 10000, electing eighteen
congressman out of twenty-four, gain of
two.
Ohio gives Union majority of over AS
600, and elects / 6 of the 19 congressman
In Indiana we have about 900 mai
ority, and elect 8 of II congressman.
Colfax reelected by 1000 majority.
Iowa did nobly giving 10000 Union
majority and electing all her Union con
gressmen.
If this is not a victory over the com
bined forces of the Administration and the
Copperhcads worth rejoicing over, we dc
not know whet would b..
