TO the Perm Sentinel to say that the
short time he has spent in that State

particle Of Radicalism from him. He
says: "The entire election was hum.

Selected Poetry.
AGAIN

Oh, sweet and fair! oh, rich and rare
That day so long go.
The autumn sunsh;ne everywhere,
The heather all aglow
The ferns were clad in cloth Of gold,
The waves sang OH the thorc;
Such suns will shine, such waves will sing
For ever, evcrmOrc.
Oh, fit and few Oh tried ami true!
Tho friends who met that day,
Each ono the others spirit knew
And so in earnest play
The hours flew past, until at last
The twilight kiss'd the shore;
We said, "Such days shall como again
For ever, ever more"
One day again, no cloud of pain
a shadow DER us east,
And yet we strovc in vain, in vain,
To conjurc up the past
Like, but unlike,t The sun that snonc,
The waves that beat the shore,
The words we said, the songs we sung.
e--unlikc-evcrmore,
For ghosts unseen crcpt in between,
And, when our songs flew free,
Sang discords in an undcr,onc,
And married the harmony.
'The past is ours not yours" they said,
"rhe waves that beat the shore,
Though like the same. are not the same,
oh never, never more -
