" BELLE s. WILSON


It's beautiful spot, in southern cline,
Where is floating a soft perfume,
And the bellies ring out, with joyous
chime,
Like the rich glad sound of poets rhyme,
Breathed out where the roses bloom
'Tis festival gay, and jeweled throng
Have gathered this simmer night,
And the sounds of mirth, like gladsome
song,
Are borne on the passing breeze along,
From the hall of dazzling light.
But there's a sudden hush, as white-veil-
ed bride
Glides in with a glitter of grace;
She is young and fair, and the man at he
side :,
Locks down, with raptured lover prlde,
On her beaming, blushing face.
The VOWS are spoken, and the beautiful
Is wife and woman now;
With a heart as pure as cleaning pearl,
AS full of light as the golden curl
That rests on her snowy brow.
There's a wildering light in her soft blue
Asshe sweeps through the smiling throng,
And her smile is as bright as sunllt sky,
While a burden of joy breathes out in
sigh,
And her life seems radiant song.
A year hath passed in that southern cline
Where if floating soft perfume.
And the bells ring out with sweet, and
chime
Like the low, laint sob Of poets rhyme,
Breathed over the cypress bloom
IT'S burial day, and mourning throng
Have gathered amid the gloom.
And the sounds of grief, like a sorrowfu
song,
Are borne on the passing breeze along,
And sadden the soft perfume.
The fair young bride in a caskct lies,
With a strangely softened grace,
The light hath fed from her soft blue
eyes,
But the smile as bright as the sunlit skies
Still rests on her beautiful face.

Away among the Alleghanies there
is spring so small that a single OK in
a summers day could drain it dry
It steals its UnObtrusive way among
the hills till it springs out in the beau
tiful Ohio. Thence it stretches away
a thousand miles, leaving on its banks
more than hundred villages and cit
les, and many thousand cultivated
farms, and bearing on its bosom more
than half a thousand steamboats,.
Then joining the Mississippi, it stretch
es away and away, some twelve hun
dred miles more, till it falls into the
great emblem of eternity. It is one
of the great tributaries of the ocean,
which obedient only to God, shall roll
and roar till the angel, with one foot
on the sea and the other on land, shall
lift up his hand to Heaven and swear
that time shall be no longer. So with
moral influence. It is a rill-a rivu-
let a river-an ocean, boundless and
fathOmIess as eternity.

Grant. Judge Lindsey, of Iowa, nom.
mated by the Democrats for Presiden-
tial electOr, refuses to stand on the
Democratic platform, and is speaking
for Grant. General David S. Wilson,
of Dubuque; Major General Gordon,
of Indiana ; General Sweitzer, of Pitts
burg, Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in 1866; David Kilgore and T.
w. Green, Of Indiana; J. Belfoy, of
Minnesota, all Democrats, all reject
the Tammany platform, and support
Grant.
A great mass Of thoughtful and con-
scientiOus citizens, formerly, and even
still attached to the Democratic party
will feel compelled to do the same
thing. They have no place in the
party as it now exists. All the prin
ciples which they have been taught
to honor are rejected by the Tammany
Convention, and every hope Of reform
has been wilfully shut off.

General Grant and the Cotton
Traders.

Some of the Democratic papers re
Gently accused General Grant of hav-
ing in 1862, lat the instance and for the
profit of his father, given to a Cincin-
natl firm, Mack & Brothers, special
privilege to trade in cotton. But Mr.
Henry Mack, in a recent lawsuit,
stated under oath that General Grant
refused his firm this special privilege,
and that Grant used these words:
81 am always pleased, sir, to rem
der any proper assistance in my
power to my friends; but 1 am Gen
eraI in the Army of the United States
government and l cannot discrimi-
nate between its citizens. I do not
know why my father should write
asking such a favor. 1t can have
no influence with me. The request
is improper, as it would give one an
advantage over another, and would
lead to that Generalization which is
my endeavOr to prevent The atten-
ton of the military cannot be diverted
from the work in hand, viz: saving
the country. You can take out a
permit and trade along the river, as
others are doing, and 1 shall be pleas
ed to hear of your success"
That, we hope, will put an end to
this SANDER, which, however, has had
but a poor run; for it was difficult to
persuade the people that Grant was
guilty of corruption. His whole re-
cord in the war is that of an honest,
patriotic and unselfsh soldier Gin

From the Leaveuworth Times
Frank Blair on Gen. Grant.
The Hon. Frank P. Blair, after his
speech in this city, in the presence Of
a number of gentlemen, said in reply
to remark that "Grant was a fool"
said:
"Sir, you are mistaken. Grant is
no fool. l know him well. I knew
him before he went into the army,
and when he used to haul wood into
the city of st. Louis. 1 met him Of
ten in the service. I know the man.
He-is, by -, the greatest man Of
the age. Sherman, Sheridan, and
Thomas are good men, but Grant is
worth more than all of them.
"Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon
Bonaparte were both great men, but,
sir, I tell you that Grant is a greater
man than Cromwell and Napoleon
Bonaparte put together. He is not a
talker, but he is one of the d-est
thinkers in the world.
"He is ambitious, but he don't
show it, andI tell you that if he is
elected President, he will set up a
monarchy and establish himself En-
peror.
81 tell you that the people are mis-
taken when they suppose Grant to be
a fool. They have good reason to
fear his greatness"
eyes, but don't you think that he
will be controlled by such men as Sum
ner, Wilson, and Washburne?'
"Controlled, CONTROLLED! Why,
by C., he would sweep them away
like straw"
"But, General, don't you think
that circumstances have done a great
deal for Grant ?"
"Why, h-ll, the fellow has made
the circumstances. l tell you that
it is no luck.
"The man that can spring right
up from poverty and obscurity, and
do what he has done, is no mere
creature of circumstances. Circum-
stances don't run so much IN one
way"
II am a Democrat, but if General
Grant is such a great man as you say
he is, ! am a Grant man from this
out"
"Well, ifyou want a despotism,
vote for him; but if you want a repub-
lican form Of government, you will
have to vote against him. I know
that he is great man, and, by G.,
in saying so, [ simply tell the truth"

A young girl recently died in Lon
don undar peculiar circumstances. A
post mOrtem examination was ordered,
and the surgeon found a pin in the
stomach, which had penetrated the
liver. The pin had been swallowed
about two years ago, and had caused
fits and other disturbances, which re-
suited in death. Such cases are
doubtless rare; but the habit of put
ting pins and needles in the mouth is
both disagreeable and dangerous.
