BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
] gazed upon the glorious sky,
And the green mountains round;
And thought that when came to lie
! Within the silent ground,
'Twere pleasant that in flowery June.
When brooks send up a cheerful tune,
And groves joyous sound,
The sections hand my grave to make,
The rich, green mountain turf shouli break
A cell within the frozen mould,
A coffin borne through sleet,
And icy clouds above it rolled,
While the fierce tempests beat
Away-I will not think of these
Blue be the sky and soft the breeze,
Earth green beneath the feet,
And be the damp mould gently pressed
Into my narrow place of rest.
There through the long, long summer hours,
The golden light should lie,
And thick young herbs and groups OF flowers,
Stand in their beauty by,
The oriole should build and tell
His love-tale close beside my cell;
The idle butterfly
Should rest him there, and there be heard
The housewife bee and humming bird.
And what if cheerful shouts at noon,
Come, from the village sent,
Or songs of maids, beneath the moon
With fairy laughter blent
And what il, in the evening light
Betrcthed lovers walk in sight
OF my low monument?
| would the lovely scene around
Might know no sadder sight nor sound.
| know, | know / should not see
The seasons glorious show,
Nor would it's brightness shine for me, 81
Nor its wild music flow;
But if around my place of sleep,
The friends love should come TO weep,
They might not haste to go.
Soft airs, and song and light and bloom,
Should keep them lingering by my tomb.
These to their softened hearts should bear
The thought of what has been,
And speak of one who cannot share
The gladness of the scene;
Whose part, in all the pomp that fills
The circuit of the summer hills,
Is-that his grave is green;
And deeply would their hearts rejoice
To hear again his loving voice.

The rate at which money is voted away
by the present congress will soon leave the
country bankrupt 1t is idle to deny that the
bottom of the public resources will shortly
be reached. Our public debt is three thou
sand millions already, and, with the addition
Of at least another thousand million from war
claims, will become four. In the face OF 80
startling fact,it is still more startling to OBJ
serve the reckless manner in which congress
is throwing about the public money, in this
direction and that. This is the time to think
AMI talk. of economy. A beginning toward
rstrenehmsnt ought to have been seriously
made, some time ago. But members OF con-
gress seem to think themselves disbursing
agents, each armed with the right to favor his
own particular within and project. There is
this new bureau and that; this projected de-
partment and that this unheard of commits
sion and that; there is everything under the
sun, in fact, but a thought of economy. Ev-
erything is going rapidly to waste. The peo-
pie will have to check this business at once,
or no more will be left to be eqoandered.-
And the way to check it is to elect democrat
ic congressman. The moment the democracy
come into power they will reduce the expen-
sss of the government to about one-fourth the
sum now squandered on political prostitutes
and useless schemes.

The pope of Rome, in addition to selling
relics and indulgeneies in sin, derives a large

studying politics Under Difficulties.

An old farmer in the interior of Ohio writes to
the Cincinnati Commercial, among other reada-
bic matters, the following, which is too good to
be lost and too true to be forgotten:
One day, some time ago, John had been to the
station for me and brought home paper that
was filled with great many speeches that had
been made about a bill that our president had
seen fit to disapprove of. WE'LL took the pa
per to my corner, and, although it all in
very small print and tried my eyes very much, l
read it every bit. My good wife got tired of my
forever sitting there, pouring over those long
..borations," rs she termed them, and said that
| would do well to be reading nv bible more and
such productions less. ''Wife," said l, 1.-THE
kingdom of heaven isn't in any particular danger
just now, but my country is" After that she
said nothing about il to me.
But the more / read that paper the more both
cred I became l read long speech by Mr..
Henry Beeeher, who seems to know so much
about everything but divinity, and liked it be-
cause ne supported our president, and our pres-
dent, I thought, must be in very trying posi-
ton now -a-days.
Then | was upset by Mr.. Phillips, who went in
to Mr.. b. like | have seen little boys attack

the earth split.
Then turned over the leaf wrong and com

on until finished it. Surely" said I to my
self, surely We have got one good and true man
in the land The tone of the speech reminded
me of the good old fashioned farewell address
of Gen. Washington, and thanked God and
took courage.
Then / hunted up the beginning of the speech,
and could not believe my eyes when / saw Alex.

the composition very much unlike the style
of the gentleman from Pennsylvania.

"Ph, y said she, ..and what are you reading
rebel speeches for, I'd like to know. He's the
vice president of the confederacy, and ought to
be hanging to a sour apple tree instead of being
loose and making borations."
MY wife is a little nebulous about names and
titles, but is thorough going union woman, and
hates rebels with perfect hatred. She was
chairman of an aid society during the war, and
many time Eve walked up III the night and
found her still sitting by the dying fire. knitting
out on the cold ground with nothing but their
