Hearts that Hunger.


Some hearts 60 hungering through the world
And never find the love they seek;
Some lips with pride or scorn are curled
To hide the pain they may not speak.
The eye may flash, the mouth may smile. ,
The voice in gladdest mirth may thrill,
And yet beneath them all the while
The hungry heart be pining still. -
These know their doom, and walk their way
With level steps and steadfast eyes,
Nor strive with fate, nor weep nor pray
While others, not so sadly wise,
Are mocled by phanto ms evermore,
And lured by seemings Of delight,
Fair to the eye, but at the core
Holding but bitter dust and blight
l see them gaze from wistful eyes,
mark their sign on fading cheeks;
hear them breathe in smothered sighs,
And note the grief that never speaks;
For them no might redresses wrong,
No eye with pity is impearled.
Oh, misoonstrued, and suffering long
Oh, hearts that hunger through the world
For you does life's dull desert hold
No fountain shade, no date grove fair,
Nor gush Of waters clear and cold,
But sandy reaches wide and bare.
The foot may fail, the soul may faint,
And weigh to earth the weary frame,
Yet still ye make no weak complaint,
And speak no word Of grief or blame.
Oh, eager eyes which gaze afarl
Oh, arms which clasp the empty air
Not all unmarked your sorrows are,
Not all unpitied your despair.
Smile, patient lips SO proudly dumb
When life's frail tent at last is furled,
Your glorious recompense shall come,
Oh, hearts that hunger through the world

CIV. aBANrAxD THE DEMOCRACY,

Tho following is tho article from the
Nov Yv:k Herald referred to in last
week issue:
General Grant h,viny completely
tahrn the Rauica! wind vuA Ut the sail,
Of Mr.. C.lct Justice Chase US tho
Republican heir apparent for the Presi'
dental succession, tho main question
suggested to the Democracy is 'What,
under this new position of affairs, is
our true course ?" W. think they are
in no condition to fight Grant, simply
because there is no available mnu with
in their reach who can defeat Grant.
They seem to have given up McClclluu
by general consent; iloratio Seymour
insists upon being counted out; the
Western Copf crheads would not touch
Sherman with IL tp:ty-!oot pole; tac
White House nomination o! LA ,rock
was only ii linc days wonutr; Prc~i-
dent johnson himself is out Of the
question and, i" short, the only man
who seems to have ANY footing at all
for the Democrat C Natiuual Cvnv ution
IS Pcn.llcto,, the man who, with his
Chicago peace platform in 1854, broke
down ilcClellan, last and West.
Against Pcndleton, Grant will walk
over the course and against any other
man picked up at the eleventh hour,
Grant will win.

THE DEMOCRATIC THE AkIsTO-
GRATIS PARTY.
From tie Ne,o York Tribune

From tie Ne,o York Tribune.
a correspondent asks ns why persons
cnjoyin. incomes Of over SIS 900 should
be deprived Of the 81, 600 exemption,
heretofore made, and why tenants
should be deprived Of the deduction of
rent, IS proposed in Mr.. Weiss report.
He opposes all discrimination, and
states that the sum total of the small
incomes not taxed is twenty times
greater than that OF the largo incomes
taxed. He thinks that in this country
Europe is reversed, and the poor op-
press the rich, and proposes that the
rich combine together and vote for the
political party which will give the rich
man his equal rights. This is, indeed,
a sad state Of facts but if our CORES
pondent tcels oppressed by reason Of
his wealth and the taxation to which it
subjects him, we know numbers of
poor men who will change places with
him, enduring his oppression in prefer
ence to their power. If this plan does
not commend itself to his judgment,
We fear he will have to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket as that is the only party
which has manifested a disposition to
sustain an aristocracy against the poor.
We hope that, since absolute perfection
in the equalization of taxes may be re-
garded as Utopian idea, the COM
plants, if any, will continue to come
from the rich, that the taxes are framed
in the interests of the poor. We ad-
NIT it is the legitimate effect Of univer-
sal suffrage, and we consider it not the
weakest of the arguments for that
system.

LEc1rEEs.-By an oversight last week
we neglected to make any reference to the
lecture on Tuesday evening by Rev. Wood.
OF "American Extravaganza The first
portion was devoted to extravaganza in
dress and eq"ipage, in which both sexes
we're to blame, each involving the other in
pecuniary and moral ruin, domestic unhap-
pines3, and social recklessness-preveut-
ing many marriages and rendering miser-
able thousands that were cousummated
He shielded neither man nor woman from
full share Of the responsibility for this
condition Of affairs. The fearful extra va
gance in money. health and morals from
the use Of alcohol and tobacco was shewn
up and severely denounced. We trust
that the lecture may not be without its good
effects in this community.
very interesting lecture was delivered
on. Tuesday evening last upon 1.-The impor-
lance Of little things" by Rev. Creighton.
Instances and illustrations were given Of
how the vast concerns Of life hinged upon
and were moved by the veriest trifes. In
nature. in art, in science, in history, in
philosophy, in individual life, IN christian
ity, it is the little things that exert the
greatest influence. The lecture abounded
in brief references to actual occurrences
proving the truth of this. The different
parts were we'll arranged, pleasantly deliv-
cred and entertaining throughout.
The final lecture of the course will be
delivered on tuesday evening, March 10th,
by Gen. c. C. Andrews, on "The Present
and Future of St. Cloud"
