Stars and Flowers.

When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had stilled his brother,
The stars and flowers, the poets say,
Agreed with one another, ...
To cheat the cunning tempter's art
And teach the race its duty, ~.
By keeping on its wicked heart
Their eyes Of light and duty.
A million sleepless lips, they say, a
Would be at least warning
And so the flowers would watch by day,
The stars from night to morning.
On hill and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upturning, dawn.
The flowers still watch from reddening
The stars from night to morning.
Alas! each hour Of daylight tells
A tale Of shame so crushing,
That some turn white Us a-bleaehed shells
And some are always blushing.
But when the gentle stars look down
On all their light discovers
The traitors smile, the murderer's frown,
The lips of dying lovers,
They try to shut their reddening eyes,
And in the vain endcavor,
We see them twinkling in the skies
And so they wink forever.

Great Fire ut Oil City, Pa.

on Cry, Pa, July 3l.-Tlis unfortun-
ate place has again been swept by fire in the
same spot where it last suffered by the same
cause, and the visitation this time will prob.
ably prove more serious than the fires ir
former days, when the city was animate
with fcverish vitality that enabled it quic';.
ly to recover from the heaviest blows. 1t
is no longer, however, a fast growing place,
aud the prostration OF to-day will be felt for
long time.
The city is built on both sides of Oil creek,
where it empties into the Allcghany river,
and the FIRE broke out on the left bank of the
creek, near the river shore, and swept about
two-th'r,ls Of that half of the city ou. OF
existence. There is doubt how it originated,
but the story in which most people agree is
that it was caused by the carelessncss of an
employee at the engine-house Of Parker 4
Co., where there is steam-pump used for
filling and emptying the great oil tanks on
the bank of the river. This man undertook
to clean out his smokestack By burning a
bucket Of oil in it. The result was a small
explosion and the communication of the
flames to train of cars loaded with petro-
leum: which were waiting on a side track to
be discharged. Flom these the fire spread
right and left, almost wit. the rapidity of
lightning Parker's tank burst, and one
other large tank was injured, but neither
contained much oil. The entire loss of oil
will probably not exceed 5000 barrels, in
cluding the contents of nine cars of the At
lantic and Great Western Road, which were
entirely consumed. The fire broke out at
I o'clock in the morning, and by noon there
was not wall or beam standing in the en-
tire burned district. The Jones House and
one or two smaller hotels, telegraph Offices,
several shipping platforms and small tanks,
and so or 60 of the best shops, warehouses,
and dwellings in the place were destroyed.
Fifty-three families are left without shelter.
The loss is roughly estimated at $3.50, 900,
on which there is very little insurance.
IT is striking fact that the dying never
weep. The circle of sobbing, agonizing
hearts around produces not n tear. Is it
that he is inscnsible and stiff already in the
chill of dissolution? That cannot be, for
he asks for his fathers hand, as if to gain
strength in the mental struggle, and leans
on the breast of MOTHER brother, o. sis
ter, with still conscious affection; and just
before expiration, at eve, after long day S
converse with the angel Of summer, he says
to his oldest brother the last audible good
night of earth-"Kiss me, kiss" 1t
must be because the dying have reached a
point too deep for our earthly crying and
weeping. They ore face to face with higher
and holier things-with the Fatherin heav-
en- and his angel throng, led on by the Son
himself, and what are griefs of mourning,
terrors of dying farewell, be it that they
are shed by the dearest on earth, in that
vision bright Of immortal life and everlast.

AIigatOrS i'm Mexico,

On one occasion l discovered, SAYS Capt.
Lyon, an alligator's nest with thirty.nine
eggs 1t is the custom of the caymans to
select some sunny, sandy beach, in which
they bury their eggs, piling large heap Of
sand above them. They then leave their
offsprings to be hatched by the heat of the
sun; although as the Indians informed me,
they keep "register in their head" and re.
turn at the expiration of thirty days, when
their newly produced little ones are ready to
be taken on their mothers back and receive
their first lessons in swimming. The idea
that the alligator devours her young, if she
can catch them, is denied by the Indians,
who on the contrary, declares her to be very
kind to them. should like to have seen
in what way maternal solicitude of one of
these horrid creatures is shown, for nurs-
ing al'igatress must be great curiosity
The eggs are about the size of those Of our
domestic ducks, but bearing a highly-enam-
elled surface. At each end they are trans
lucent: but an Opaque white band encircles
the middle, which appears to divided
mcmbrance across it. The yolk also resem-
bles that of ducks eggs, but has slight
favor Of musk, and the white is nearly of
the consistency Of jelly.
Col. r. NJ. GIBSON, in o recent speech
at Pittsburgh, thus forcibly illustrated the
condition into which the Radicals have
brought the currency: "When the laborer
receives dollar he receives but serenity cents;
when the bondholder receives a dollar he
receives dollar and .jJ1y cents; the former
being paid in greenbacks the latter in gold. :"
Such inequality between the currency Of the
poor man and that Of the rich, the Grant
party is striving to continue. The Demo-
cratic party declares in favor Of one curren-
GU for all.

Large Losses Of Voters to the
Grant Ticket.

We have spread before our readers advi-
ces from various parts Of the county, show
ing that the intolerable cruelty Of Grant to
innocent parties Of the sect of Israclitcs has
lost him that large element of voting popu-
lation to man. 1t seems that other por-
tons of Christians and enlightened society
oppose bis election. Awliter in the Church
Union speaks Of Grant as follows:
General Grant is not a fit man for
Christian to support. y Here now is
this speecbless sphyov, enveloped in a cloud
Of tobacco smoke-a silent, stubborn man
Of the world. Suppose he takes it into bis
head to convert his four years grant of pow
or into life lease, or any other wbim. lie
has the army at bis command, and every
evil influence, too, in the land vii support
him, we do not say this will be; but is it
proper for Christian men to give the cxecu.
tive power of this nation into such hands?'
From Radical German source we arc
able to copy an equally savage assault upon
the Radical candidate. A German paper
called the Future, published at Indianapo-
lis, is the organ Of large body Of that
nationality who have heretofore acted With
the Radical party This paper now styles
Grant smoking, whisky-supping, know
notbingistic shouldcr.strap wearer," and
proceeds, under four separate headings, to
explain why it canuot give the ''no.policy"
candidate its support.
Two Of these reasons are expressed as
follows:
"3. We will not vote for Grant, because
the Chicago platform is not forward but
retrogradc step. We Will here only call at
tention to that plank which declares that
negro suffrage must be carried out in the
South, and not in the North. By this sour
ri(ous pusillapism it is sought to invigle Con.
sentative votes; but this delusion will soon
be dispeled. Whoever is opposed to negro
suffrage in the North will wish to see the
South exempt from the same blessing.
"a. We will not vote for Grant, because
by the result Of the recent impeachment
trial the powers Of the President have been
enlarged; that to place them in the hands
of an ambitious soldier, in case of revolu.
ton or foreign war, may prove the destruc-
ton Of the republic. Silent, ambitious
Grant is best adapted to carry out treason
able designs, more so than a Democratic
President from the civil ranks. Democrats
cannot make matters worse than they are
now. Let them exert themselves to this
end it VIII bring the public soon to its So
ber sense
This constant loss Of adhercnts in every
direction is pro,'n fatal to the Radical par
ty. Appointed defeat by these constant
losses stares the Radicals in the face. 1t
cannot avoid that result, which is approach
ing surely, and not far of.

Where does the Money got
Taxpayers Look! i..H

Over FIFTEEN HUNDRED MIL
LIONS OF DOLLARS have been collect
cd by the United States Government, in
the shape of TAXES, since the close Of the
war. ..
Just think of it. r1 . '..~
One half Of the National debt.
Where has the money gone?
Is the debt any less7
MOI 1T IS MORE than it was three
years ago.
While Congress has been making the nc.
gro the white mans equal, and reconstruct
ing and impeaching, Fifteen Hundred Mil.
lions have been taken from the pockets Of
the farmers, the mechanics and laborers OF
the North.
The people were told by the Radical pa
triots thieves and bummcrs, that the close
Of the war would see restored Union, with
peace and prosperity and happiness. Well,
the war ended three years ago, the South
laid down its arms and surrendered, but
Radical hostilities have not ceased. The
fight still goes on against eight millions Of
white men, women and children, and it
costs the country just Five Hundred Mil
lions year that's the price.
What has become Of these Fifteen Hun
dred Millions?
Where have they gone to?
Have they gone to pay the public debt =?
No! Not bit of it.
How is it that in spite Of all this taxation
notwithstanding one half of the whole
National debt has been raised from the
sweat and toll of the people-the burden is
as heavy, as oppressive, as crushing now as
ever?
Fellow. citizens, these are questions for
you to answer. Don't let dust be thrown in
your eyes by the conspirators who are steal.
ing your rights and your money at the same
time.
When you are asked to vote in favor of
Grant, who is the tool of crazy and fanat-
ical Congress, demand to know what has
become of the Fifteen Hundred Millions of
Dollars taken out Of your pockets during
the past three years.
Ask them the reason why the South, now
that the negroes are free, produces only one
half what it formerly raised?
Ask them if the Fifteen Hundred Mil.
lions have not gone to-
Support GREAT NEGRO BOARD
ING HOUSE in the South? And to
Support a Standing Army over the South,
in order that we may have:
Negro Judges.
Negro Governors.
Negro Legislatures.
Negro Governments.
Instead Of appropriating this immense
amount of money to the payment of the
public debt, it has been expended for the
maintenance Of grand system of pauper-
ism-BLACK pauperism-and Congress has
just voted to continue the stupendous rob.
berry another year.
What is the remedy? You have it in
your own hands. Vote for men for every
office, from President down, who are OF.
POSED to these outrageous swindles. Vote
for President and Congress who will agree
to abolish the Negro Bureau, and let the
negroes shift for themselves, and to abolish
the expensive Standing Army in the South.
But Grant won't do this. He says he has
no opinions of his own, and will do just as
Congress directs.

COlGaX ON Grant.

IF the following l6 reasons why Grant
should not be the Republican candidate,
seven months ago, were good then, it seems
to US they ought to be now. Schuyler COL
fax sent this circular oil over the country
under his Cong lessional frank then; will he
gainsay its contents now?
WHY CIR ANT sHoul NOT BE PRESIDENT.
/. He has o'1 he deserves at the hands Of
the American people.
2. He could not deliver an inaugural ad.
dress.
3. Because no Democrat has succeeded
for the past quo' Ter of a century as Presi.
dent of the United States.
4. Because at this a,'icnlar period in the
history Of our county VIC need an able and
experienced statesman at the White House.
S. Because one hundred thousand graves
and four million freedmen demand q Re-
publican President and Vice President.
6. He is now and always has been Dcnl-
ocrat, and has never endorsed the Rcpubli-
can party.
:. Because he has proved fsilure in ev-
cry capacity of the military.
S. He claims to have no knowledge Of
politics or national affairs.
Q. Because Democratic and rebel papers
endorse him.
10. He has followed orr drunken, Demo
cratic Johuson in III his rebellious rows
against Cong lcss and our party.
IL. Because be has insrlted the Rcpubli-
can party by endorsing the removal Of tho
Secretary of War, and accepting the posi-
ton himself.
y. We have one hundred better men for
President.
l3. Because o'' pa, les claim him to be.
long to their pally.
IA. We have the power to elect States
man, if we wish to.
Is. Because the Democrats and rebels
have no other available candidate.
l6. Because Illinois gave US the immortal
