Ana tneh her hanus ABOUT her throat she
pressed,
AS though to keep a cry back, then stopped
And set her face to his, while spake her
moan
go love, o cherished more than can tell.
Through years of woe, o love, my life and
bane,
My Joy and grief, farewell, farewell, farewell,
Forgetfulness of grief L yet may gain;
In some wise may come ending to my pain:
1t may be yet the gods will have me clad!
Yet, love, would that thee and pain had!
"Alas it may not be, it may not be,
The falling blossom of the late spring-tide.
Shall hang golden globe upon the tree
When through the vale the mists of autumn
glide;
Yet would, Love, with thee might abide.
Now, now that restful death is drawing nigh
Farewell, farewell, how good it is to die!F
o strange, o strange, when on his lips once
Her lips were laid! o strange that he must
die
Now, when so clear vision had come DER
His failing heart and keenest memory
Had shown him all his changing life passed
by;
And what he was, and what he might have
been,
Yea, and should be, perchance, so clear were
seen!
Yea then were all things laid within the
scale
| Pleasure and lust, love and desire of fame.
Kindness, and hope, and folly-all the tale
| Told in q moment, as across him came
| That sudden flash, bright as the lightning
flame,
Showing the wanderer on the waste how he
Has gone astray mid dark and misery.
All, and her face upon his dying face
| That the sun warmed no more that agony
Of dying love- wild with the tale of days
Long past and strange with hope that might
not be
All was gone now, and what least part had he
In Love at all, and why was life all gone?
| Why must he meet the eyes of death alone?
Alone, for she and ruth had left him there;
Alone, because the ending of the strife
He knew, well taught by death, drew surely
Alone, for all those years with pleasure rife
Should be tale mid Helen's coming life,
And she and all the world should go its wavs,
Midst other troubles, other happy days.
And yet how was It with l.u9 AS if death
Strove yet with struggliug life and love in
vain,
With eyes grown deadly bright and rattling
breath,
He raised himself, while wide his blood did
stain
The linen fair, and seized the horn again,
And blew thereon wild and shattering blast
Ere from his hand afar the thing he cast
Then, as a man who in failing fight
For long onset gathers suddenly
All soul and strength, he faced the summer
light,
And from his lips burst forth mighty cry
OF ''Helen Helen, Helen yet the sky
Changed not above his cast-back golden head,
And merry was the world, though he was
dead.

EOrton vs.. Hendricks.

In his speech at Cincinnati, on
Wednesday evening, October 9Th,
Senator MORTON devoted portion of
his time to Ex-senator HENDRICKs,
in reply to the latter gontleman's
attacks upon him in his Ohio
speeches. As both these gentlemen
are Indianians, and their discussions
are of particular interest to the peo-
pie of our State, We copy so much of
Mr.. MoRToN's speech as refers to bis
political adversary. 1t is good politi-
cal reading:
SOMETHING ABOUT MR.. HENDRICKS.
Now, my friends, I am going to ask
your indulgence for little while, in
considering a matter that is some
what personal to myself / told you
that my late colleague, Mr.. Hen
bricks, a gentleman of very decided
ability, and very pleasant man
withal, had been up to GAINESVILLE, in
this State, and made speech which
had been devoted chiefly to myself,
which was evidently made for Indiana
consumption, in great part, and has
been largely circulated in that State.
Now, / believe this is the third
time in my life that l have ever an
swered a charge against myself, or de-
Tended myself against any insinuation
that was made against me. I do not
consider this very important. But if
it was important enough for Mr.. Hen
bricks to make these references to me
at GAINESVILLE, perhaps it is not i'm
proper for me to answer them, and /
shall ask your indulgencein doing so.
He began up there, after speaking
of my speech at Wilmington, in this
State, and saying that I had calumni-
ated the Democratic party, which, by
the way, was not true-I did not tell
half the truth about them; | could
not do it in one day-he says:
Il shall indulge In no such lam
guage this afternoon, and in my opin-
| ion no man who occupies a high and
responsible position, conferred upon
him by the people, as Governor Nor
J ton does, has the right. cor can he

some of you, that Mr.. Sumner pro-
posed that Congress should pass a
Law controlling the subject Of suffrage
in the States. | said that Congress
has no such power; that, as the Con-
stitution then stood, and as it now /
stands, the question of suffrage is left !
entirely with the States. [ say so yet, |
and it is this very fact that makes the |
Fifteenth Amendment important.
Until we adopt that amendment the
question of suffrage is left with the
several States. But we propose, by
adopting this amendment, to make
suffrage uniform throughout the
United States; to make it impartial,
and to take away this odious discrlml-
nation on account of the color OF an
American citizen. [Cheers.l
Mr.. HENDRICKs's RECORD.
But now, as Mr. Hendricks went to
so much trouble to spread my record
before the people of Ohio, perhaps
you would like to have a chapter from
his. / can sum 1t up in one single
sentence. He was the friend of the
rebellion from the beginning to the
end of the war. [Cheers. In the
winter OF 1860 and 1861, he stood
alongside Of Mr.. Buchanan, and Mr..
Pendieton, and Mr.. Valiandigham,
and asserted the doctrine that Con-
gress had no power 10 coerce a State
to remain in the Union. His attitude
was such as to encourage the rebel
lion, and to make the men of the
South believe that they could proceed
In the work of secession without being
molested. On the 9Th Of January,
1862, Mr.. Hendricks made a speech
to the first Democratic Convention
that assembled after the beginning OF
| war. The substance of that speech
! may be summed up thus: He de.
! clared that the people of the North
were the aggressors that the war was
! waged for unconstitutional purposes
! by unconstitutional means. In thai
! speech he Swallowed forth the necessity
! for Northwestern Confederacy By
] | depicting the evils and disasters tina
resulted to the States of the North
2 west by their connection with The
] Eastern States. In that speech b
9 said everything that would impair thu
5 credit Of the Government and bring
it into contempt. He was against tn,
q draft. He opposed the enlistment o
e negro soldiers. He opposed the de
! struction of slavery. The Sons 0
Liberty, in Indiana, were b;
friends lCheers. He was op
L posed to making the notes o
$ the local banks give place t
e greenbacks, for without the green
| backs we could not have carried o.
d the war. He was opposed to ever
e measure for the loyal Reconstructed
1t of the Southern States. He was or
~ posed to the Thirteenth Amendment
e, that forever prohibited slavery i
d this country. He was opposed to til
IT Fourteenth Amendment, that CAV
II civil rights to the negroes, and tina
d prohibited the Reputation of tn
p national debt. He is now oppose
If to the Fifteenth Amendment, in tn
IS same spirit, and substantially for th
D same reason [applause]; and that
lie all [ have to say about him.

people in indianapolis. if we may
credit the reports in the papers. Two
expressmen refused to allow the use
of their wagons to transport the dead
and dying from the State Fair Ground
into the city; and only Thursday a
barber refused to shave one of the
unfortunate victims, who leaves a
wife and helpless children in desti-
4ute circumstances, unless ne was
paid fire dollars in advance. With
public liberality in that city at such a
low ebb, We are not surprised that
the Governor realized the necessity
of calling upon the people of thu
State to extend aid to the victims o
carelessness and bad machinery.
