FRATERNITE.
BY ROSE TERRY.

Cresus, gilt martyr of bank,
Barred round with ingots yellow,
The poet whom you do not thank,
Is not "wretched fellow
The garret of his dreaming sleep,
Is tapestried with splendor;
Whose glitter makes no angels weep,
His heart is true and tender
Poet, the Dives you despise
Has pleasure in his money!
Dear butterfly, some beauty lies
To bees in making honey
The gold and jewels of your flowers,
He copies in his treasure;
Must all your brothers happy hours,
Be meted with your measure?
Fair woman, whose averted eyes,
Cast scOrn on shame's poor daughter,
The soul whose kindred yours denies,
Was limpid once as water
Who kept thee from the precipice,
Where sin with love-lips kissed her?
Through Him who granted Mary's peace,
Pray for thy wretched sister
And thou, on earth most desolate,
Blame not the passer by thee,
Whose yelled eyes droop not out of hate
Whose thoughts no love deny thee
If custom-kept, she walks apart,
Her pity grows the stronger;
And louder echo through her heart,
His words,-'Go, sin no longern'
If there are mountains in the world
Are there not also valleys!
Where Loves blue standard swings unfurl'c
There every true heart rallies.
Ranked in one hope, the difference dies.
That keeps us from each other,
And underneath millennial skies,
Each man becomes a brother.

A Mournrul View of the situation


The Boston AdUertiser takes the fol-
lowing mOurnful view of the situation:
Pennsylvania and Ohio, States which
have seemed to be securely Republican,
and which we carried last fall by aggre-
gate majorities of nearly 10000, have
seen those majorities disappear, and
we lose the one, while the other is
saved at best by close contest, which
leaves their Legislature still in doubt
In Iowa we have also largely reduced
majorities. If, morever, thecommonim
preston as to the influence of the OctO-
ber elections does not prove to be err
roneous, and still more, if the causes
which have produced these misfortunes
do not suddenly cease to operate, we
may expect to see New York imperil-
ed, if not lost, at the next months cleo
ion.
1t adds not a little to the mortifca-
ton with which this result must be re-
ceived, that our heavy loss in Ohio is
so plainly due in large part to the pro-
posed amendment to the State Consti-
tuition, introducing impartial suffrage
Here, in Massachusetts, our record is
clear upon this point, and what we
have undertaken to prescribe for 9th
ers has had its place for years upon our
| own statute-bOOk. But it is little less
than humiliating to have this public
demonstration, that after such aperiod
of awakening as the nation has now
had, a great State like Ohio, which is
supposed to be well advanced in its
political ideas, and which has not been
thought to hold any doubtful position
as regards the reconstruction of the
South, should thus draw back, as did
Connecticut before her, from the need
ed stepin amendment of her own insti-
tutionS.

his end IL easily predicted. One can
