I'm THE TWILIGHT.
By T. n. now ARD.

In the dark of the twilight.
Mid shadows and softAgleams,
Comes hither my souls sister
From the better lights and streams
Of the land that hath no shadows,
Save in dim lines thrown from this;
And meet her in the meadows
Interpersed 'twixt here and bliss.
From the pearly gates of morning
Are glimmers white and sheen,
But its twilight hath no shadows,
And no meadows lie between;
And / meet her only ever
When the amber seas float low -.
In the twilight Of the meadow,
With the sunset sleeps aglow.
HadI met my souls sweetsister
Ere the first food-tides of life;
I had met her, and had kissed her,
And had kept my wings from strife:
From the meadows Of the Eve-land.
OF the Summers golden mints,
I had borne the russets inward,
Purpling life through with their tints.
But my spirit dwelt supinely.
Low-steeped in huesmore dim, +.
Till my sister soul, divinely, .-y..
Called me with her twilight hymn,
From the scant CLEANS and the shadows
Of earth's DINNER day and night,
To where we meet in meadows,
In the dark of the twilight

Thaddeus Stephens Is Dead.

It is difficult to realize that such a
man as Thaddeus Stephens has ceased to
be among the forms of terrestrial life and
secular activity. So instinct was his
whole being with the concerns of the
visible and breathing world, so passion.
ately informed with the hopes and hates,
the aims and struggles that go on, with
out ceasing, upon the fretful scene of hu.
man existence bounded by the earthly
horizon, that the mind cannot readily
grasp the fact that he has made his exit
from the scene, that this remarkable,
and in some sense formidable incarna-
ton OF fierce, unresting, remorseless en-
ergy is now still forever in the sleep Of
death. There was something in his ma
turc, as there is in all such natures,
which seemed to defy the subtle agen-
cies Of decay oud dissolution. But, in
spite Of his defiant and naughty will they
conquered him. After Pickering for
months, flashing up now and then with
preternatural glow, his vital fame at
length fickered out. The name of Thad-
deus Stephens no longer designates one
Of the most important actors in politi-
cal drama of unsurpassed interest. He
is not now political leader or politi-
cal opponent he belongs to history and
that will judge him.
Mr.. Stephens was born in Caledonia
county, Vermont, April d, 1892. He
graduated at Dartmouth College, and re-
moved to Pennsylvania in 1914. After
teaching school for brief period he was
admitted to the bar, and practiced law
with success and distinction for num-
Der Of years. He was a member Of the
Pennsylvania Legislature in 1888, 1884,
1895. 1881 and 1S41; was member of
the Constitutional Convention in 1889;
was appointed canal commissioner in
1888, and removed to Lancaster, which
continued to be thereafter his residence,
in 1842. From the Lancaster district
he was elected to the 3lst, 32nd, 36th,
37th, 3sth, seth and 4Oth Congress,
where he persisted in perfs lie
functions of a representative and a pom
ical leader and organizer up to the time
of his death. During this period he was
successiyely a Wing, a Free soiler and
a Radical Republican.
This is not the place TO speak fully and
unreservedly of the late political course
Of Mr.. Stephens. It may be remarked,
however, that thoroughly as Democrats
and conservatives have detested him as
a politician, they have felt towards him
a certain respect which no other Radi-
cal of like prominence could command
Others sought to cover their bad propen-
sites and cruel designs with some sort
of hypocritical cant. But he scorned
disguise, and made no effort to seem bet
ter than he was.
The loss to the Radical cause by the
death Of Mr.. Stephens is great almost
beyond computation. He was the con-
head of the party-its boldest
and its shrewdest leader. Crescent, 13.

II was ascertained day or two since when a M

trict Court was sent to Edward Carter who was i'm
pcated with julius, ID. Hartwell, Charles Mellen

prevent the disappearance OF any OF the other mar
ties the government officers took immediate steps 10
be heard upon motion to increase their hall and
this question came up in the United States Districf
Court this morning before Judges Clifford and
Lowell.
Assistant District Attorney Hyde opened the mat
ter, and was about to ask the proposed increase
when 1t was found necessary arraign Messrs Hart
wen, Meen and Ward, who were In the prisoners
dock. The new indictments held that IIartwell was
an 0fncer or the United States entrusted with the
safe keeping, transfer and disbursement OF the public
moneys, the point which prevented the case from
being settled In the United States Circuit Court here
last August, when the trial was finished. The par
ties pleaded not guilty to the Indictment Mr. HYDE
then tnane snort argument in favor of increasing
their Dail from $4,000 TO $4,000, on the ground
above mentioned-the disappearance of Carter
which led to the belief that prudence dictated Dre
cautiOnary measures 10 insure the anpearance of the
other parties. District Attorney Hilard followed on
the same ground. Messrs. Paine Morse Shattuck
and the counsel who appeared last August were pres-
ent, and Mr.. Paine made an argument in opposition
to that OF counsel for the government. Judge Cliff
ford ordered that they be held IN $4,000 each with
sureticS.

prisoners and conveyed them from the court room
