Selected Poetry.
THE UNWELOOME GUEST.

The lights are litj tho chimney glows,
Tho boards nre ladon with the best,
Aud cvergrccns the high walls dock
In expectation Of II guest
Tho maiden wears a snow-whitc rose
In shining braids Of silkcn hair;
Tho matron's face is lit with smiles
10 groot the guest expected thero.
Along the turnpike's devious way,
Across tho swift and dangerous ford,
Tho jaded stccd his rider bears,
Obedcnt to the lightest word
His iron hoofs upon tho night
Ring out harsh, discordaut tune,
lis streaming main shakes in The wind,
Ills wild eye wonders at the moon.
The hours go by, Tho olook ticks loud,
Tho fire has lost its former glow
Tho vino still waits the strnn ger's lip,
The ilckering lights burn Iii III and low /;
The mutron's smile hns passed,
Tho mastor mods within his chair,
And faded is the snow white flower
The maiden wore TO grace her hair.
A knock sounds at tho castle gates,
That to tho summons open wide,
And through the halls stranger stalks,
With lofty micn and naughty stride
Not the fair guest for whom thoy looked
For whom the maiden graccl her hair,
But one Of other name and blood,
A visitor unwoloomc thoro
Tho board is laidcn with tho best,
Yet has tho vino bitter taste;
Untouched the castle meats arc pa sscd,
Tho mellow fruits loft 10 wnetc;
No smilo Is on tho matron's lip,
No love ia in tho maiden's oyo;
The master sits with sullon brow,
In silence as the hours 60 by.
Pcrchancc we all havo sometimes beer
UnWelconc guests beside some hearth,
And shadowed by our presence there
Each show Of gladness and Of mirth.
The farewell word, tho chilling tonc,
Tho slight forced smile what tales tho
tell
How happy seems tho parting hour
When Mt tho last VIC say "Farcwcll !"

Radical Plots and Purposes,

The Republicans have at last got
themselves worked up to n State of|
mind that enables them to make a great
noise. During the last few days they
have been engaged in boasting ut n
wonderful rate. With the display
which an extraordinary use Of money
has enabled them to get up, they have
made NOISE enough to convince them.
selves that the people arc all with them.
Thci" own use of funds however, is the
only thing that they have got to show
for their confidence. With all their
Dragging about Maine, there is nothing

there arc not 60 noisy as the Rrpubli

Is not votes, and it is not tho greatest
amount of buster that secures votes on
election day. The Dcmocracysin Penn
sylvania arc conducting one OF the abest
most lndiciolls, and shrcwdest canvasses,
that ever characterized any party. This
fact was recently admitted by Ga'msha
a. Grow in private letter, in which
he manifested fears, and in fact express
cd fears that the Republicans would be
defeated in that State.
In tho State Of Indiana The canvass
presents the most gratifying appearance.
~ prominent gentleman Of this CITY,
who has just made tour of that State,
gives the most encouraging accounts
from that section. He states that there
is not the least particle ql doubt Of the
election ofThos. A. Hendricks as Gov
crnor, and that there will be an increase
OF the Democrats in the Congressional
delegation, This Statement comedies

in position to be The best Judges OF

OF the Radicals in their boastings in
reference to other States excel anything

speech was solicited. Mb Adams ad.
dressed the assemblagc from tho porLico
OF the Edwards House. lie was intro
duccd to tho crowd by COL j. I. Scales.
Mr.. Adams expressed the warmcst
thanks for the demonstration. He was
surprised at being met by so many per-
sons. IIo thought his visit to The South
was unknown. IIc came South only to
speak one word to the people that
word was in kindness, conciiation, and
fraternal affection.
lie was no politician, but was firm
supporter Of tho Constitution, and as
such should vote for Seymour and
Blair. He came in spirit Of lraternal
kindness to all classes of citizens. The
color Of the skin made no difference to
him. nor never had. 1t was charged at
the North that tho Democratic party Mt
the South would re enslavc the negro. II
he believed so atrocions an outrage was
contemplated he would turn his back
upon the South and 60 home and take the
opposite side. Tho North would ncve,

he coalu have learned in a lifetime in

the condition Of tho southern people and
their wasted neglected fields. If tho
North could see it rs he had done, al
our trials would bo at end. He was
pleased to know that amcablc relations
existed between the whites and the
blacks, and there was no animosily
among the whites. IIo spoke for tn.
encouragement Of all, and expressed tn,
convection that the constitutional party
headed by Seymour and Blair woult

IMPORTANT Decision CoNcERNrSa
MATRIMoNY.-An important decision
was rendered in the Circuit Court Of
Chicago on Friday. to the effect that
two persons living together as man and
wife, after an agreement to marry, and
and the marital relation being recogn,z.
ed IN the society in which they move,
Is a common'law marriage, even il no
matrimonial service, according to law
IS performed, and is bound d to be respect.
ed by the courts, under which the wo-
man can claim dover, but cannot re.
cover for services as housekceper.- =
The decision IS said to have created
something Of a breeze among tho con.
siderable number of Chicogians who
have brevet wives - Baltimore Sun.
The decision was, no doubt, that a
woman recognized as vile was entitled
to dover who could not prove her mar.
rlage. There aro thousands orwivcs III
this country (sha,neful it is thatit should
Dc so) who could not possibly prove the
iact OF marriage in their own cases. Our
laws are sadly defective.

Work for the Month.

hasseo, gives it as his opinion that
Barnes, tho Democratic candidate for
Congress, will be elected bya majority
OF $500 or 5000 votes. The radical
Legislature passed an act before nd.
l.ourning, taking tho election of Prosi-
dent from the poople and clothing
their own body with the right to cast
the vote of Florida in the Electoral
College. This action of tho radicals
d.eprives Seymour and Blair of three
electoral votes, which tho people of
that State would give thom if thoy
were permitted to vote.
