While watch thee, Aline,
Wantoning lilies seem
Shrined In living stream
Clad with its crystalline
Tremulous cleaning.
And when thou leavest me
IT'S as though liquid death
Drew down the lily leaves,
While with their swaying fed
Beauty and brilliance.
III.
Thine are the floating feet
Light as the shadow-sheen,
Wave-blent within itself,
Caught by crested sea a
Flung from the morning.
Thine Is the tiger-step
Airily accented
Like q sweet melody
Subtly inwrought with its
Cadences low.
And when thy lifted eyes
Unmask their batteries
IT'S as though midmost night
Blossoming instantly
Burst into day.
VI.
Lo tits the crimson-tinged
Sunrise that swiftly comes,
Pouring from out of the
Shining and darkness.fringed
East of thine eye-lids.
VII.
Sing: and from Psyche-lips,
Eros own ecstacy,
VANDERBILT blindly.
Framing soul-eclipse
From its uncertainty,
And its desire.
VIII.
But when in trembling kiss
Sense drinks insatiate bliss.
Faster than fainting breath
All that Heaven knows, or this
Earth can tell angels
observation-disclosures
Red days and raptest nights
Joy and woe, life and death
Fleetingly mingle.
TX.
All that these ashes keep
Embers remembering
Affairs 0lympisn-
Forth from their tranced sleep
Greeting her, Psyche-lipped,
Flash for Aline:
Greeting the Psyche-lipped,
Dark-eyed and dainty-stepped,
Swan-throated, panther shaped.

Politics.
Our paper, this week contains SO much
political writing by others that we claim
exemption from the labor of a review.
Each day adds to our conviction that sue
cess will crown the noble energy which
actuates the masses Of the people in burst
ing tho withcs by which political delilahs
have bound them. Afreeman cannot long
content himself in enslavement while
assuming masters demand homage of him
ut the threat of cstracism. "On what
meat doth this Cesar faed, that he hath
grown so great" is a question extremely
suggestive now on the part of those who
are compelled to stand aside to accommo
date the Greed or the ambition of heirs ap.
parent to every Office depending on the
federal treasury for pay. We regret that
men will allow their ancient party spites
to force them to the shamblcs of those who
act toward them with an air implying
superiority of intellect and of shrewdness.
The majority of the Republican party are,
to-day, with the New York platform on
the bond question. Why not swear by it
and help to disenthral our country? Are
are not interested in the good of the coun-
try alike with yourselves? Would you
prefer to be slaves to schemers? Iewers
of wood and drawers of water to a bonded
aristocracy and its vast, monopolizing
brotherhood, just because some one of the
Opposition made a fool of himself at
some time or other? An independent
thinker does not want the drill of tie
party lash. That lash is flying in all
quarters of the Republican army, and
thousands are deserving the lines. Yhe
meanest of Democrats, Butler, Logan,

HANDY.-A telegraph is convenient
On Saturday a dispatch from Clinton ad-
vised US of the voyage Of the city of
Dubuque steamer and its arrival here at 5
to 6, with a request to meet an Indiana
delegation of friends. We were at the
wharf on time and had the pleasure of a
cordial hand shake with Hon. John
Reynolds and daughter (relatives Of our
house p%artner), James Reynolds, ESQ.,, all
of South Bend, Indiana, Hon. John D..
Ross, lady and daughter, of Buchanan,
Michigan. All were bound to st. Paul.
Mr.. Ross was our first "boss'' in a dry
goods store in 1889 Mr.. John Reynolds
a first and fast friend and our successor in
the Senate Of the Hoosier State. We had
a pleasant but too brief interview with
the party. Trusting their return will
cause a 'stop-off' here we send
our best wishes up the river. But
isn't a river telegraph line handy?

Suows.-The Burt Company did not
pay well. IARTz, on Monday ofthis week
performed some Of the most incredible
feats recorded in magic annals. He will
play again tonight, and if skill in scien-
tifc deception should be rewarded, Hartz
deserves a full measure of it. w have
seen every ''show'' we could reach, but
never did we see such splendid wizzard-ism.
IT'S the town-talk this morning and all
are going.
The Arlington's are posted for Monday
night next at the Cambrian. They bear a
fine reputation from the press.
Do not for any reasonable reason, reason
yourself into the idea that the New York
troupe Of minstrels, headed by Sharpley &
Cotton, and hanked by other superior
artists, is not the best travelling company
in the country. They are world-renowned
as actors. The public expect no half way
~delineation of character or bungling efforts
at wit or song from Ben and Sam and their
carefully chosen family of troupe-rs.-
Thursday, Sept. Sd is the evening. With
two or three more concerts, fairs, sociables
and five or six c~ircuses added to 100 lee
lures this winter, we feel flattered with the
prospect of great financial amusement
ahead.

CuNNING.-It is written that len. Grant
played a joke on his Dubuque friends on
the occasion Of a recent visit to them.
Instead of meeting the Com. of Reception,
the Bands, Carriages &c., designed to
show him the regard universally paid
heretofore to a military officer high in com
mand and particularly to a presidential
candidate, he slipped in ria freight, took
a bus and a cigar and came silently to the
Julien. This must have been highly graf
flying to his friends.
After all, General Grant is the best
Judge of his own worth in a reception.

The radicals are on trial. Ask the wit.
nesses in their favor as follows: Can the
National Government tax National Bonds?
Did the National Government agree to pay
the principal of the 5-20s in golda If so,
please show the contract in the bill SO
passed? Why are the Bond-ists anxious
to ''fund' q gold debt Of sir per cent. for
a gold Debt Of four or flee per cent, due
many years hence?
A few questions like these will worry a
partisan radical more than a long speech
or Q two column editorial.

His Excellency HoRATIO SEYMOUR.
Now read what Forney's Philadelphia
Press, one of the most radical papers in
the Union, said in 1868.
"IIonor to New York Her governor
has acted like a man who knows when the
time for ~partisanship is at an end. Her
gallant Seventh is now ut Harrisburg, and
side by side with our brave P%ennsylva-
mans, preparing to resist the invaders.
This is the true spirit Of brotherly love.
But while the city of New York is doing
so much to save our state, what is the city
of Philadelphia doingT"
When you rear a Radical raising the
parrot cry of Comprehend and "rebel''
against our gallant standard bearer, place
the above record before him, and if he is
an honest man he will shut his mouth,
if an Office seeker, or Jacobin editor, he'll
howl on. 1t pays them to blow and lie
There is plenty of stealings.

Young Ladies and Gentlemen begins it's

Dec. 23d, The school is working under
a College Charter but is yet practically
limited TO Academic departments. Teach
ers of the best qualification are employed
and it is useless to add that every effort
will be made to advance those who may
be assigned to their charge. Professional
pride not less than personal interest COM
pels the teacher to reach after success in
the education of the pupil. The writer OF
this was in the Educational harness long
enough to know that his reputation de-
pended much on the improvement of those
under his charge. Address w. S. PERRY,
