LINKS OF MEMORY.
BY SANS soucI.

] How sad it is to sit alone, . And think of days long dead; Of hopes that with the sunny joys 2 Of vanished years have fled.
 To dream again the golden dreams H That lit the hallowed past,
 And paint the magic realms of thought In hucs too bright to last To woo again, from distance dim, The faces fair that came 7'Tween heaven and the throbbing hearts < That pulsed with Loves pure flame. \ To listen for the echoing spring 4 Of steps down Memory's hall, ' To bearken for joyous laugh, H Or sweet, familiar call. To read again the lore of love, \ From some old, favorite page; To mark the stains of time and tears | The cover dark with age
 ! To note the pencil scoring there It seems hideous dream, To know the pale hands folded lie, That traced the glowing theme? A bit of tattered ribbon, Offowcrs withered wreath; A broken ring, shattered plume, Ofby-gone joys will breathe. A crumpled strip of dainty lace, A hAlf-worn glove or shoe, Will tell of blighted love and hope As volumes could not do. To touch as one would kiss the dead, \ The clothes he used to wear;
 With scalding tears to stand above z A lock of sunny hair; To see his pistols and his spurs, And war-worn jacket of grey, And by it the flag of freedom, Folded forever away And while these treasures lie exposed, And rccollections rise, 5 To lead us through the shadowy past That land of tears and signs We whisper to the winds of eve A half-forgotten prayer, And trembling, watch with longing eyes,
 The mirage lift in air. BEEcHLASD, 1866.

The October Elections.

FROM He ITtOhne.
If there were two among the old free States
which the champions of "My Policy" could
hope to carry, they are Pennsylvania and In
diana. These States stopped the Republican
ball in mid-career in 1856, electmg Buchanan
over Fremont; and they were only carried Re.
host Indiana giving Lincoln but 1928 votes
more than his antagonists. Each of them
borders for hundreds OF miles on what were till
recently slave States, and is largely connected
with them by traffic, migration, aud inter-mar-
riage. The Common School system of Pennsyl-
yania is but thirty years old, and its blessings
have not been enjoyed by nearly all her native
voters. An enormous naturalization in the
cities and mining districts threw some twenty
thousand new votes in Pennsylvania into the
scale of our adversaries. To have carried both
States by decided majorlties is, under the cir
Cumstances, a remarkable proof that the Repub-
lican-Unionists are practically invincible IN the
old free States.
When we triumphed in l86O our adversaries
said owe were divided, hopeless of success, and
could not call out our STRENGTH" In 1862, they
outyoted us in all the Middle States, including
Ohio In 1868, there was no State election In
Indiana, but we reeained Pennsylvania after a
desperate struggle, by $4,000 majority. In 1864,
we raised this by the hardest work, to 10000,
which we rather increased in the tame struggle
of last year. "0h, you have all the Federal
