ton. and after full discussion, it de-
liberately passed bill granting to the
Central branch of the Union Pacific
Railroad the numbered sections, the
odd numbered having been already
given to other railroad companies.
And so, for distance ofabout three
hundred miles, lying partly in Kansas,
partly in Nebraska, and partly in the
territory of Wyoming, every foot of
land belonging to the government was
granted, so far as the Senate could do
it, to railroad corporations. And this
leads me to observe that you must not
suppose that because all the land grab
bing bills that passed the Senate did
not go through the House, therefore
they are dead. In view of the ap-
preaching congressional elections, and
fearful of the people, the House laid
some of them aside; but they are still
upon lis calendar, to be acted upon
next winter; and should the Radical
party triumph in the fall elections,
you may rest assured that every one
oi.them will pass. x = y
I CONCLUSION.
q
And now, in conclusion, my fellow
Democrats, let me exhort you to do
your whole duty. You have as great
stake in this land as any other equal
number of men. What benefits the
Republic will benefit you-what in
juries it will as surely injure you. Up
on the prepetuity of free institutions
and existence of good government, de-
pend the happiness of yourselves and
your posterity. Democratic principles
have achieved glorious past for our
country, and will work out an equally
glorious future if they he preserved in
their vigor and purity. Let us all,
then, resolve that they shall not fail for,
want of our support, that they shall
suffer no dishonor from our hands.

TWO LIVES.
BY THEODORE ARNOLD.
CONCLUDED.

Four of MS, Ned and I among them
went to the prison with the coffin the
morning after Bert died in the eve
ming, and brought the body to Ned's
house. Never shall / forget the ter.
ror of that drive, or how the perspir-
alton started out over me as we reach
ed the door and saw a dozen or more
persons standing about.
"Curse 'em !" said Ned, in a saw
age undertone.
The door opened wide, and inside
stood Jenny with her handkerchief to
her eyes. We passed her by with
our burden, Ned whispering a hurri-
ed word.
She passed the word to the servant
who stood Just behind, and the ser.
want stepped Immediately to the open
door in which stood a man.

minutes p he asked.
'1No one can see it till TINS after.
noon," she answered. "He is not
dressed"
The man withdrew, and with him
the rest of the party to whom he re-
peated the message.
The door was locked, the parloI
door locked also, and while l looked
about to see that all was secure, the
others tore the coffin open, and lifted
poor Bert up. In fifteen minutes
longer he would have been suffocated
for though we had arranged for air,
and perforated the coffin in several
places, there was not air enough to
support him tn a state of sensibility
While in that trance, his almost i'm
perceptible breathing had required
but little to support it; but, coming
out, he gasped fearfully.
1t was an hour before he was full
Iy himself, and then he was deathly
sick. But q cup of strong coffee
brought him round, and then we set
ourselves to make arrangements fol
the rest. Onr troubles were not over
by any means. There was the fune.
RAJ to be arranged and carried out,
the sexton was to hoodwink, and Gu
rious eyes to deceive. We had
thought of refusing to let him be seen
under the pretext that change had Ia
ken place, but that was hardly safe.
For that afternoon it was better tc
crafty curiosity.
Bert agreed to it, and professed
himself ready to stand the test.
He didn't look very much alive,
certainly; and when the arrangements
were all made, the deception was per
feet. The room was quite shady, the
curtains being drawn, the coffin fill
ed with flowers, and a screen of fine
lace drawn over his face. In addi-
tion, Jenny powdered his face thickly
with French chalk, which gave it o
deathly whiteness. At the head OF
the coffin one of us was constantly
standing, and saw that none of the
starers stayed too long.
| 1t was a ghastly mockery and
when at length, after Eve hours ol
terrible anxiety we locked the street
door on what we thought was our
last visitor, we were more dead than
alive.
Bert got up, and sitting on the So
IA, took the supper that Jenny herself
brought him, then walked about to
ease his cramped limbs.
"Thank God it is overl" he ex-
claimed. ''It seemed to me some.

From the Boston Transcript
The Lesson Of the Water-MiII.

: Listen to the water.mill
Through the live long dayi
2n How the clinking of its wheel
q Wears the hour away.
Languidly the autumn wind
Sfirs the greenwood leaves;
From the fields the reapers sing,
Binding up the sheaves.
And q proverb haunts my mind
As spell Is cast;
The mill can not grind
With the water that is past"
Autumn winds revive no more
Leaves that once shed;
And the sickle can not reap
Corn once gathered.
And the ruffled stream flows on;
Tranquil, deep and still,
Never gliding back again
To the water-mill.
Truly speaks the proverb old,
With meaning vast:
"The mill can not grind
With the water that is past"
Take the lesson to thyseif,
Loving heart, and truei
Golden years are fieeting by,
Youth is passing teo. or,
Learn to make the most of life;
Loss no holy day;
Time viii never bring thee back
Chances swept away.
Leave,no tender word unsaid,
Love while love shall last;
1.-THE mill can not grind
With the water that is past"
Work while yet the daylight shines,
Man of strength and will
Never does the streamlet glide,
Useless by the mill.
Wait not till to-morrow's sun
Beams upon thy way;
All that thou canst call thine own
Lies in thy "to-day."
Power and intellect and health
May not always last
The MILL can not grind
With the water that is past"
oh the wasted hours of life
Thatihave drifted byl
Oh the good that might have been,
Lost without a sighl
Love that we might once have saved
By a single word (;
Thoughts conceived, but never pen ned
Perishing unheard.
Take the proverb to thine heart,
Take and hold il fast:
"The mill can not grind
With the water that is past"
