In some fair grove where fragrant shades
rcpose, or, strolling, court
The noisy ground Of boys and girls to share
their evening sport.
How changed is all In lonely, silent paths

Children III rags, with wastcd checks and
wounded sun burnt feet
BY naughty plenty oft denied the crumh
their hunger Graves,
Their gallant fathers sleeping in their lone
ly distant graves.
Through long deserted streets nry sluggish
feet in silence 60,
And now l catch tho notes Of smothered
grief, the walls Of WOO:
Matrons bowed down with years, as Rachc
wept, in vain dcploro
Their gallant sons--props Of their ago they
were-they are no more:
speak-at once catch their anxious look
their streaming eyes.
The heart have.l tho arm, the sword, and
yet | cannot rise.
70 hordes Of hirclings your vengeance take,
Your thirst for blood yo packs of Jackals
slake;
Bring me your death, It's life! Oh haste to
break
The wheel, tho silver cord, the golden bowl |!
Death is the stilluess Of my arm, my soul
Is full of death, it's in my loathcd parole.
In vain seek the spacious hall, whore soft
est music fell
On ravished ears, and matchlcss beauty was
wont to dwell,
All sorrow now, decaycd the bloom, tho fad.
cd check is torn
by grief; where bushes were, the deep fur
rows arc by weeping worn;
Tho mind an Eden once, is now o wilder

The heart, so lately life and joy, becomes
the haunt Of fears.
grcct-my silent answer comes-a stream
of silent tears,
And yet my true, my proved, unerring rifle
harmless sleeps,
And yet my faithful, trus!y sword the rust
ing scabbarl keeps,
My sturdy arm, by frequent combat taught,
now helpless lies.
My limbs arc bound, while inch by inch my
bleeding country dies.
OH is not this enough this heart to fill
With grief? to break my heart, my life to
kill
If worse than this there be, give me tho
worst,
My arm still strong, and yet with stiffness
cursed.
I'd rather be tho creeping worm. the mole,
Than feed the living death within my soul
My chain is death-death in my loathcd pa

Another Democratic Row.

Now. OH the negro suffrage question,
| reconstruction and the money question,
but mainly upon the money question,
between the grecnbacks or Pcndleton
men Of the West and the Chase (oll
Greenbacks himscl) and anti P endleton
men Of the East, there are thickening
symptoms Of another Democratic row.
All the wisdom Of Messrs. Comsiock
and Cassidy, and Of Belmont and Bar
low and of Hoffman, Wood, Brooks,
Rynders. Morrissey and Godfrey Gun.
thcr Will be required in the, Convention
to maintain harmony and brotherly
love.
The two-thirds rule, invented and first
applied by the Southern oligarchy in
1874 to kill of Martin Van Buren, has
made every Democratic President
making convention since that day
a regular slaughter house, involving a
fearful massacre of tho innocents. There
was dreadful slaughter ia IA, when
Polk turned up as tho lucky man a
slaughter in '49, which resulted in q
Van Buren, Chase FREQ soil bolt and the
defeat Of Cass; mcrcilcss slaughter in
'55, when poor Pierce was marched in
over the dead bodies of the slam in '5G,
when Buchanan passed the ordeal on an
alibi and in 1860 came tho grand De-
mocratic explosion and volcanic crup-
ton: hundred times moro terrific and
calamitous than the late fiery shaking
up Of the Sandwich Islands. This two.
thirds rule, 80 fruitful OF Democratic dis
cords and disasters, is still the supreme
law Of the party, and within the party
camps the old elements of factio1s an
tagonlsm and eruption still exist.
The Pendleton men of the West
claim majority of the Convention.
What will they do 2 If they have tho
majority they have the power to upset
this ftwo-thirds rule; but as this
would probably effect split at once, the
experiment will hardly DO attempted.
Pendleton's majority, then, will be to
HIM what the majority was to Van Blu,
rem in '44 and to Cass in SO. 1t will
be worried down and frittered away.
The late speech OF Seymour defines the
issue which will swamp Pendleton. We
may say that he is already swamped by
that speech. Titfor tat, any Eastern
man representing the financial policy
of Seymour will be swamped by PEN
deton. What then? Another poor
Pierce, such as Hendricks, or new de-
parture under Chase. The Pendleton
pioneers are in for fight, after tho
fashion Of Douglas, against both Sey-
mour and Chase. But fron the South
will come up force for Chase which
may bring the Pcndlelnn party to the
alternative of surrender or bolt. II
the Western Democrats from the fate OF
Douglas have learned anything, thoy
will, reduced to this pass, fall into line
but if they lave learned nothing and
forgotten nothing, they will bolt. In
any event. hepressure Of the new issues
and now ideas Of the day, and in conflict
with old Democratic cohnbustlbles, will
make this coming Convention boil and
bubble like the witches cauldron.
