I saw from the beach, when the morning was shi-

A bark DER the waters move Cloriou'lv on;

The bark was still there, butthe waters were gone
And such Is the fate ofour life's early promise.
So passing the sDring-tda of ioy W. have known
Each wave that we danced DER at morning ebbs
from us.
And leaves US at eve, on the bleak shore alone.
Ne'or tel me of glories, serenely adorning
The close Of our day, the calm eve Of our night,
Give me hack. give me back the wild freshness OF
morning,
Her clouds and her tears are worth evenings

Oh, who would not welcome that moments return

When passion first walked a new life thIo' his
frame,
And his soul like the wood that grows precious in
burning
Gave out allitssweetness to loves exquisite flame.

Bed Time.

Rosebud lay in her trundle bed.
With her small hands folded above her head;
And fixed her innocent eyes on me,
thoughtful shadow came over their glee.
Mamma" said she, - when 90 10 sleep,
pray to the father my soul to k k.cp
And he comes and carries it far away.
To the beautiful home where his angels stay;
] gather red roses and lilies so white,
! sing with the angels through all the long
night;
And when, in the morning, wake from my

He gives back the soul that gave him to keep,
And only remember, like beautiful dreams.
The garlands of lilies, the wonderful streams.

THE history of the Republican party
in the United States is the history Of
progress and liberty. Were it to die to-,
morrow, it would leave such a record
as no other party in the history of the
world has left.-L1Qetirer.
There is not the Sigh test doubt about
that! 1t freed and enfranchised three
millions of british blacks, to make
them slaves of a midnight League,
which compels them to vote at the
point of the bayonet, and it enslaved
five millions-of white people who are
not permitted to take any part in the
government under which they live. II
made prison-pens of the forts and pub
lie buildings of the country, and cast
men innocent of crime, into loathsome
dungeons, to suffer ineffable tortures
and die death of horror. 1t doomed
men to ignominious punishments,
without judge or jury, simply because
they chose to hold and avow political
opinions opposed to its own peculiar
dogmas. 1t even hung up defence
less woman, after heartlessly mocking
the tendersensibilitie of her nature, by
exposing her to the devilish burlesque
of a trial before military commission.
Finally, it would up by piling upon
the country debt that weighs the peo-
pie to the earth, by imposing upon us
most unjust, because unequal, system
of taxation, by inventing plan to
keep ten States out of the Union. at an
enormous expenditure of the peoples
money, by erectinga military despotism
over those States, and to close the scene,
by placing ten millions ofwhite people
under the domination of three millions
of blacks. Verify, "such a record no
other party in the history of the world
has left," and, God be thanked! that
record is about coming to an end.

Is it possible? Can it be-? We are
overwhelmed with amazement! The

tion!" This confession, coming from
the Bedford Inquirer, is truly astound-
ing. When we said previous to the
late election, that the "Republican"
party was corrupt, the Inquirer was
ready to swallow us, so enraged did it
become at the "infamous Copperhead
lie." But now it acknowledges the
corn" Republicans! What more do
you need to convince you that it is your
duty to leave this party that is dying
of corruption

AS usual the Radical tricksters nave
undertaken to play their meof count
ing-out' the Democratic candidates,
and their machinery was well prepar-
ed for the execution of their nefariOuS
purpose. Taking advantage of the Act
of Assembly which provides for the
reception of the vote of soldiers in Gc-
t,GdL serUice, o1ade' requisitiOn Of the
President oftte United States, or by Gu-
Hority Of the Commonwealth, they had
Governor Geary issue commission
to one of their tools, authorizing him
to proceed to the regular army, and
take the votes of persons outside of the
Commonwealth, in the service of the
United States. Accordingly this per-
son proceeded to Fort Delaware, and not
Withstanding remOnstrances of the Off
Ger commanding the Fort, opened an e.
lection, and made return of 118 votes,
1I3 for Williams and 5 for SharsWood.
(Ofcourse the votes for SharsWOOd were
returned "to keep up appearances.")
This return was counted by the Phil
adelphia Republican Judges, and less
ems Judge SharsWood's official majority
just 108 votes, his true majority being
1890, whilst the Fort Delaware fraud
reduces it to 922. Major Morgan, the
commander of the Fort, writes to w.
l.. Hirst, Esq, of Philadelphia, that
but 33 votes were pOlled in all, and
that the crater portion of those who
voted had no right to vote for Penn
sylvania officers. This fraud, having
been so thoroughly exposed, the Radi-
cal plotters, covered with shame, in
order to draw the attention ofthe pub
lie from their own infamy, commenced
contest for some of the local offices
in Philadelphia, based upon the allega-
tiOn of frauds in some of the wards of
that city. This is only the old dodge
of crying ''stop thief" and we are well
convinced that nothing will come of
it but idle gossip. The + ort Delaware
fraud cannot be covered up by any
such stale tricks, and the men engaged
in it, from Governor Geary, to the
miserable knave who forged the return,
even if they be not punished by the
laws, will sink beneath the contempt
and indignation of right-thinking men
of all parties.

GA POOR excuse is better than none"
Upon this principle our Radical breth-
ren are trying to console themselves
over their recent defeats. They tell
us that their vote was not out, that
there was great apathy in their ranks,
whilst the Democrats poIled their full
vote, &C., &c. They don't seem to re-
alize the fact that there is hardly an e.
lection district in the State, in which
some of those who formerly voted their
ticket, did not this year cast their bal
lots for the Democratic candidates.
Considering that no pecGniary advan-
tage, or official patronage, attaches to
the office of Supreme Judge, (the only
State Office voted for) there was very
heavy vote polled. 1t was never ex-
ceeded, except last year, and is larger
than the home vote cat for President
in 1864. 1t exceeds by $4,000, the vote
of 1865, when the Republicans" car
ried the State by 22,66O! Let those
who talk about the apathy in the Rad
ical ranks, remember this fact, that in
1865, the Republicans polled but 1885,
400, and carried the State, as above
stated, by 22,66O majority, whilst this
year they polled 266, 1924, or %, ,424 more
votes than in 1865, and yet are beaten
1000. A little study of these figures
will enable the dulleSt intellect to dis
cover, that it was not APATHY" but
reaction, that defeated the Radicals at
the late election.

thought Brownlow suited your taste
exactly. But how can Tennessee find
a decent man among the dominant par
ty inthat State, made up, as it is, of
renegade rebels and british blacks?
