lFrom Putnam's Msgnzinal
Hum Fuis.
One by one they died
Last of all their race;
Nothing left but pride,
Lace and buckle hose.
Their quiefus made,
On their dwelling place
Ruthless hands are laid
Down the old house goesl
See the ancient manse
Meet its fate at last,
Time, In his advance,
Age nor honor knows;
Axe and broadaxe fall,
Looping OF the past;
Hit with bar and maui
Down the old house goesi
6evenscore years II stood;
Yes, they built II well,
Though they built OF wood,
When that house arose.
For its cross-beams square
Oak and walnut fell;
Little worse for wear,
Down the old house goes!
Rending the board and plank,
Men with crowbars ply,
Opening assures dank,
Striking deadly blows,
From the gabled roof
How the shingles fyl
Keep you here aloof-
Down the old house goesl
Holding still its place,
There the chimney stands,
6tanch from top 10 base,
browning on its foes.
Heave apart the stones
Burst its iron bands
How ii shakes and groans-
Down the old house goesl
Round the mantel piece
Glisten Scripture tiles;
Henceforth they shall cease
Painting Egypt's woes;
Painting Dsvid's fight,
Fair Bathsheba's smiles,
Blinded SIMPSONS might
Down the old house goesl
On these oaken floors
High shod ladies trod;
Through those panelled doors
Trailed their furbelows;
Long their day has ceased
Now beneath the sod,
With the worms they feast
Down the old house goesl
Doorway high, the box
In the grass plot spreads;
1t has borne its locks
Through a thousand SHOWS;
In an evil day,
From those garden beds
Now tits hacked away
Down the old house goesl
Lol the sycamores,
scathed and scrawny mates,
At the mansion doors
SILVER full of woes;
With its life they grew,
Guarded well its gates;
Now their task Is through
Down the old house goesl
On this honored site
Modern trade will build
What unseemly fright.
Heaven only knowsI
Something peaked and high,
Smacking of the guild;
Let us beaye q sigh
Down the old house goes

What We Have Done.

The civil war took the shackles from
100000 Of negroes, and the Radical
aristocracy propose to put these shackles
upon 25,O00.000 of white men as tax-pay.
ers. The really rich men of the country
own half the wealth of the country, and
much of it is held in bonds which pay no
taxes. The injustice Of this was iInstra-
ted last week by Mr.. Cary, NJ. c., of Ohio,
who said
Let me illustrate-I live at College
Hill, near Cincinnati. Before the war
there was man living there worth $500
which he had invested IN an omnibus and
horses. When the war broke out he
hired a man to drive his bus, and went
into tie war. He came back, and is now
running his bus again. That fellow has
to pay two and half per cent, of his
earrings every month TO the tax
gatherer-two and a half per cent OF
all his receipts I found, by looking
at the assessors books, that he pad
Sl18,46 government tax last year The man
that lives right across the road, same place
was engaged, during the war, in making
army wagons, and he invested $4,000 in
Government bonds. He pays five per
cent tax on his income, but is entitled to
take out 81, 900 of that as President of a
National Bank. Yet the fellow who runs
this bus, and fought the battles of the war,
has to pay Sl18,49 on his bus
Better is it good deal for the rich
bondhoIdcr that he pay his share of what
is due and needed to support the govern
ment.
While this property of the rich man is
exempt from taxation, everything the
poor man wears and eats is taxed Why,
your wife's night-cap is taxed, and the
cup of coffee you drank this morning, one
cent and half of its cost was govcrnm ent

Work ! Work :, Work 80,

Our friends must 90 work and keep at
work, and their work will be done in the
right way and with the right results. The
following suggestions deserve the attention
of every Democrat.
|. Form a Seymour Club at once in
every township, with an independent work
ing organization in each election district.
2. Get the name Of every Seymour and
Blair voter in the district, and have him a
member of the Club, if possible.
3. Next. record the name Of every other
voter in said district, with every one enti--
tied to become or to be made voter be-
fore November 3rd.
A. See that every one who will read
Democratic papers is provided with at
least one good one.
3. Make arrangements that will render
the polling of an illegal vote in that dis
tricE morally impossible.
6. lake care that-nO matter what may
be the weathcr-every Seymour voter in
that district shall be at the polls before
noon of the election day, and shall vote as
early as may be.
7. Look out for the undecided or waver-
ing that they vote for us so far as may be.
Friends ! such is the meaning cf work.
Are you already about it :?

Is il not about time that we had Con-
gress once more, one composed of sound
men, who would legislate for the whole
country and the peoples interests? As it
is, we have nothing of the kind. The as
semblage that at present bears that name is
but political caucus, Central Directory

party. 1t is controlled, manipulated and
managed by such men as Summer, Yates,
Butler, Kelley and Ashley, inside, and

herd of small potato dictators, outside
For the past three or four years we have
had the sad experience OF its partisan
character. What it has done in the way

Radical party. II has kept the Southern
States from their rightful places in the
Union IN order TO perpetuate It's own pow

A YOU'VE LADY OUTRAGED BY NEeRoE

A You've LADY OUTRAGED BY NEGROES.
A Fortress Monroe dispatch says that !:
"On the 10th fendish outrage was
perpetratcd on the person Of q young girl,
residing about four miles from Hampton,
Va, on the Yorktown road, by two mig
gers, named Henry Harrison and VIM.
Jones. The Young lady belongs to a
highly respectable family. The perpetra
tors were arrested, and are now held in a
military prison, awaiting their trial by the
civil authorities"
These outrages are becoming frightfully
common all over the South, and especially
IN the neighborhood of niger troops
The law must take its course in reaching
and furnishing such frightful atrocities, but
the law is not equal to the ofense, The
nigger now so wooel and courted for his
vote, and elevated:to important offices,
must find his own level. Jacobinism has
taken all decency out of him, and freedom
with him, rs with the most Of his kind in
Africa seems as a warrant for the gratif-
cation of his beastly lusts.-Ef,
