TRUTH.

Lost in chaotic night,
An alien to the realms of light,
L tottered onward to the fatal brink
OF the abyss, where trembGngly J stand
And bless a lovely angels saving hand;
While horror-stricl5en from the gulph shrink
Entranced gaze
Upon the heavenly vision, which displays
Itself to my till now distorted view,
And in the angels features [ can trace
The lineaments of a familiar facet
The beauteous angel is no one butyou.
As to the wanderer desert-bound,
With grim Sahara's wastes around,
A bright oasis hopes of life restores,
So you appeared, when hope had almost fled,
And despair had settled in its stead,
And open new again to me life's doorsl
How deep the feeling
OF gratitude, itself to me reveal,
I dare not even to myself confess
But in my heart, | raised for you a shrine,
Of worship pure, untainted and divincl
Compared to it, words would be meaningless.

Judge We Between Them.

Fcndeton is opposed to negrosuffrage
in Ohio. Hayes is III favor of negro
suffrage, either with OF Without The ped
pies consent.
Pcndleton believes that it is the right
of each State to decide for itself who
shall possess or exercise the right of
elective franchise. Hayes believes that
Co ngrcss has the right TO determine the
status Of citizenship, without any refer
ence TO the will of the people.
Pehdlctoh believes. that liberal and
magnanimous policy should be adopted
toward the States which are still suffer-
| ing from the rayages of civil war, and
that white citizens should be immediate

franchise; Hayes favors the opposite
policy, approves of negro rule and the
dislranchisement of the best, Niscst and
most highly educated classes CT ten SOW.

pal and interest, in gold.
Pcndlcton tavors immediate taxation
of bond, the same rs other property, real
and personal; Hayes says the bonds are
privileged property, and should hc cx-
cmptcd from taxation.>
Pcndleton demands the repeal uf the
National. Banking system as one of the
worst "utgrowths of the bonded lebt,
which unnecessarily increases the bur
dens of the people over thirty millions
Of dollars annually; Hayes indorses this
national banking system-is heavy
bank stockholdcr desires its con
tinuance.
Pendleton is friendly to the rights
and interests of the laboring men, and
promises, SO far as he is able, to give
practical applications to the measures
advocated by the Labor End Industrial
Congress; Hayes by favdfi'g eastern
monoplists, high protective taritf, and
un.ayed bondholders, is practically
an enemy to the working man and an ,ili--
cubus on the labor and industry OF tile
country.
Pcndleton is in favor of each State
maintaining under the Constitution its
separate, individual and sovereign rights
and opposed to the policy which consoli-
dates States into Empires; Hayes denies
the sovereignty of the several States as 1
heresy and fayors stfdiig central GOV,

ded at the ballot box, to which court
they have appealed. But let it ever be
remembered that candidates are men and
destined to- be soon forgotten, while
principles. like the Laws of Cod are au.-
changeable, indestruclible, and eternal.

Presidents and Presents.

When James Madison was President,
he was poor, and died poor; but when at
the head of the Government, the then
Commissioned General of the Land
Office suggested to Mr.. Madison that if
he would permit it lie would select from
the public lands, which Mr.. Madison
could enter, such lands as would inevi-
tably enhance so much in value that the
rise would make him comfortably rich
in his old age, the answer was:
mo, sir; though as n private citizen |
have the right to enter any of the public
lands, while | am President of the Uni
ted States / will not touch the public
property for my own pecuniary emolu-
ment,''
ashington, the Adamses, Jefferson,
Monroe, Jackson, and some others were
men like Madison, and would not allow
their garments to be soiled either by
suspicion Or actual bribes. Andrew
Johnson, too, refused gifts.-Poughkeep-
sic Press.

old track over the prairie, in order to
learn its history. I had hardly made
the proposition, when he drew up his
horse, which was at ravine and said,
" Well, here is an old elk track. Let
us get off our horses and follow it. We
had followed it but few rods when he
said it was exactly month old, and
made at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
This he knew, as then we had our last
rain, and at the hour named the ground
was softer than at any other time. The
track before us was then made. He
broke up here and there clusters of
grass that lay in the path of the track,
and showed me the dry ends of some,
the stumps of others, and by nnmer-
GUS other small items accounted for
many circumstances that astonlshed me
We followed the trail over a mile. Now
and then we saw that wolf, fox, and
other animals had practiced their trail
ing instincts on the elk's tracks. Here
and there, he would show me where Il
snake, rat and prairie dog had cross
ed track. Nothing had followed or
crossed the track that the quick eye Of
Daloria did not detect. He gave an ac-
count of the habits of all the animals
that had left their footprints Oh the
track, also of the state of the weather
since the elk passed, and the effect of
sunshine, winds, aridity, sand storms,
and other influences that had bearing
on these tracks.
