THE TOMB OF THE YEAR.


-
I'm weary and faint IN the battle Of life,
And Autumn's lone shadows appear
when I wander away from the worlds busy strife
To reflect by the Tomb Of the Year,
Where the loving and loved, in I'M repose,
The Angel hath gathered to rest.
while summer with flowers and winter with SHOWS
Tread lightly the turf Ger The blost
Obi why should we mourn for the loved that have
flown
To The land Of a winterles8 year,
where the lilies and roses eternally bloom
And the smile never turns to a tearf
Their barque they have moOred on the opposite side;
Her name Il the Angel of Bliss,
Though the waters look dark and river seems wide,
She bore them safe over from this.
hut 1 ask for a sign whtu tho Angel will come
Ger the lone, mystic river for me;
And a whispering murmur from the distant IN
known
Replies, "shc is coming for thee
When hummer lies shorn OF her parlands Of green,
And sunsets deep purple and gold
Arc painting LIES valley, rock, mountain and
stream
with pictures the bard never told"
Then. Father. be with me, the tempest to brave;
OF mercy pray grant me rich store,
Tho mist 10 diFpel that hangs on the wave
And hides from my vision that shore.
Though the pillows look dark and river seems wide,
faint not with Thou at the helm,
When the Angel shall glide DER the mystical tide
With me TO tho beautiful realm.

The American Bishops ana the Pope

lit Ahltl lNsih llNAuIo hhh thN ANl'
A cable dispatch from Berlin speaks Of
the American Bishops as devoted adher-
onts of the Papacy, and some of our CO.
temporaries are thereat surprised. But 1t
ia quite true that the prelates of the United
States are as far as possible from any ten
dency toward 'qiberal Catholicism, and
the explanation il very simple. Canon law
having no force in this country, the Bish.
ors are not chosen by their ~clergyor cath
edral chapters, but appointed at the mere
will Of the Pope. The hierarchy in fact is
a close corporation, in which the mem
hers nominate candidates 10 fill vacancies in
thor own body, and the Pope appoints Mt
his pleasure, generally selecting one from
the list Of nominees presented for his APP
proyal, but sometimes disregarding that
list altogether and consulting only his own
preferences. Thus, however widely liberal
ideas may bespread among the lower clergy
aud laity, it is next to impossible for any
one to become a Bishop who is not a zeal
Gus promoter Of the Papal perogatiyes.
There is no part Of the world in which the
influence Of the Roman Court over the
episcopal body is stronger than In the
United States.

An IRIsH STEW, Many compounds called
by the name are not the real thing. An
exchange says beet makes a good stew, but
isn't the "rale Irish. Mutton is the basis,
and then ii is not only good, but economi-
cal, ms the neck piece of mutton is the part
generally PREPARED. Cut the neck into
chops, and wash il bloody. Two and q
hall pounds of mutton require eight good
sized potatoes, four small onions and n
quart of water. Now, judgment is requir-
cd in the cooking; the meat must be thor
oughly done 30 as 10 leave the bone readily
(tor picking is a part OF the pleasure in
eating the stew, aud the potatoes must be
cooked to that point at which they are
lust ready TO 90 TO pieces and have absorb
ed a good part of the gravy, So il the
meat appears at all tough, it had better be
stewed awhile by itself; then add the pota-
toes, cut it in thick slices, the onions and
pepper and salt, 1t is to be served very
hot, as it is apt to DO very rich with fat,
aud mutton fat hardens readily. This is,
of course, not a dish for those who cannot
tolerate fat; but most persons who take
much exercise in cold weather actually
need a good share Of fatty food.

Present Status of the Two Houses,
and their Probable Future
COmplexiOn-The Out
going Senators and
their Success
S0rS.

On the next Legislature will devolve the re-
sponsible duty of apportioning the State into
Congressional Senatorial, and Assembly districts,
and 1t is of the utmost importance, therefore,
that the Republicans maintain their ascend
ancy in both branches. Under the present con-
gressional and Legislative appointments, it is
possible for the Democrats to carry the State on
the popular vote, and yet lose the control of the
General Assembly. In 1867 the Democrats
elected Justice Sharswood bya popular majority
of nearly 1000, and yet the Republicans held
their supremacy in both the Senate and House.
The Outgoing Senators.
The present Senate is divided politically into
Is Republicans and Is Democrats. In the Re-
publican list we class Mr.. Lowry, who claims to
be an Independent, with decided Republican
proclivites, and is in fact eminently eccentric
in his political movements. The following
Senators retire in October
8. phia-Davd A. Nage, Dem.
5. Chester Delaware, and Montgomery Charles
G. Bucks~R j. Linderman, Dem.
Z. Lehigh and Northumserand-R s. Brown Dem.
s. se6ES se6SSITIDRHI,am D9RHXI Days KS Rsaaa Rem Dem
IA. Lycomtng, Union and Snyder-John B. Beck,
21. Blair Huntingdon, Centre, Mifrn, Juniata, and
Perry.Charles j. IT, McIDtire, Dem and John
X Robinson, Rep.
25. Alleghany-Thomas Howard, Rep.
20. Crawford and Erie-Merrow b. Lowry, Rep.
OF the retiring Senators, it will be seen that
seven are Democrats and four Republicans, and
three of the Republican Senators hail from dis
tricts so decidedly Republican that it is safe to
count them as certain to return Senators of like
faith next fall. The Fifth district has 5000 Re-
publican majority on full vote the Twenty.
1fth has 5000; the Twenty-ninth has $500;
aud the Twenty-first district, now represented
by one Republican and one Democrat, has 500
Republican majority on an average vote.
The Third District.
The Third district is composed of the Fifth,
Sixth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Sixteenth, Seven
teenth, and Eighteenth wards of this city, and
voted as follows for Governor last year,
