SCHILLER, BY DJRAnr DA PoHTB.
1.-THE following translation Of Schiller's ballad
exactly in the metre, and the arrangement OF th,
Stanzas and rhymes. The translator claims for II
no other merit than this.l
"Love of sister for brother
Grants my heart to thee;
Ask me not for any other
Pain II gives TO me.
Calmly may see thee leave me;
Quiet may appear;
But, sh wherefore dost thou grieve ne
With that silent tear"
Speechlessly he listen to her;
Sorrowful. he wept
Warmly to his heart he drew her;
On his horse he lespt;
All his vAssals he collected
Through the land Of Tell;
To the Eat their course Erected
'Gainst the infdel.
There, full many deed OF glory
Wrought the herO's sword;
Waved his plume, where fields were CORY,
Mid the hostile horde;
And his name alone aE sightened
Oft the Psynim foe;
Yet bis heart was never lightened
From its load Of woe.
Passed away a twelve month dreary;
He no more could bear,
And with soul full sad and weary,
Left his comrades there
Sees a ship already starting
Hard by JOppa's strand;
HOmeward turns his course, departing
For the loved ones land.
Soon the well remembered portal
Stands the pilgrim near:
All what narrowing words of mortal
Horror smite his ear;
'Seek no more! the bond is broken;
She to thee Is dead.
1ester morn the word was spoken,
She to God is Red.'
Mournfully he leaves forever
His ancestral door;
Sees his trusiy weapons never;
Sees his steed no more.
TogRenburg he leaves behind hin;
Forth, unknown and sad,
Wanders whittier none can find him,
And in sack cloth clad.
Then he builds a rustic bower,
Whence he ever sees,
GlOOmiiy, the convent glover
Through the linden trees.
There, expectaut, he reDOses
From the morning light,
Till the evening round bin closcI
III TIC hhaues OF nlght.
Hour by hour, his eyes uprising,
Sits he there AID hopes;
Toward the loved ones window gazing
Til the window opes,
And he sees-Oh, bliss unending -
That dear form arise,
Downward to the valley bending
Her angelic eyes.
Then he sleeps, with quiet seeming
With the st1rs above,
And the earth beneath him-dreaminl,
Dreaming Of his love.
Thus for days and years he liveth-
Liveih with his hopes
While his lip no murmur giveth
Till the window opes,
And be sees-0h, bliss unending!-
That dear form arise,
Downward TO the valley bending
Her angelic eyes;
Til, one morn, corpse sat, only
In the usual place;
Toward the window, pale and lonely
Turned the still. white face.

Republican .go.Iiffcation.

Friday night of last week was advertised
for the Grant Guards, cqrpet-b -baggers,
scalawags and others "trooly lOil" to meet
and jollify over victory. They were to have
big time in marching around the city
through the streets named in the pro-
gramme. Illuminations were requested,
but the request was scantily complied with.
Money was expended in rockets, pow
der and bonfire, but the crowd didn't
come. 1t was the smallest street meet
ing of the political campaign. They
had the most meagre turn out of the
Grart Guards of the season. Perhaps as
the election was over they didn't hire as
many men to carry lamps. 1t was a good
while before they could get enough TO-
gether to compose their funeral looking
procession. 1t appeared to be rather a SOL
emn occasion; tor the loss of 1mpeacher
Ashley. Thief Gibson, Covode, Julian, and
other Radical Congressman in Ohio, Penn
sylyania and Indiana, and the close and
uncertain contest on State tickets in these
States, together with the splendid Demo-
cratic triumph in this county and Juli-
cidl District, appeared to weigh heavily
on their minds. From a bran new trans
parency, the only one got up for the oc-
casion, it looked as though their only real
triumph was the election of David Wise as
Justice of the Peace. A professional Office
seeker named Worden undertook to cheer
them up by telling them to cheer. Every
thing was rather family done. Worden
was verdant enough in his speech to try
to persuade belief in the little crowd that
the Democrats were about to run Chase in
stead of Seym for President. He said
the Democratic party was dead; but rallied
the Republicans TO fight the "corpse on
Presidential election day. Well, if Grant
should be elected, perhaps Worden will be
rp-appointed U. S. Collector. 81. G. Hedges,
Esq, saw that the audience was very slim,
and dismissed them.-Shield and Banner.
