i;i. Childhood Land.
There is 9 beautiful, far-off land,
Lying In lit seas;
But never ship TO that magic strand
Was waited by f1tful breeze.
For where her radiant shores unfold
Night stretches her purple bars,
And faatene 1t in with her gates Of gold,
And guards 1t with sentry stars.
Over the fathomless summer skies
Snowy clouds come and 90;
Through every valley that dreaming lies,
Musical rivers flow.
Mountain and forest, and glen, and glade,
BY the soft South wind famed,
Birds and blossoms that never fade,
Brighten this fairy land.
Every vanished, forgotten day
Scatters it's sunshine there;
Buds unfolding that passed away,
Are living more fresh and fair.
Loving deeus tnnt the hands nave done
Sheaves Of life's ripened grain;
Work unfinished that souls begun,
Made perfect, there live again.
Men have sought it for weary years,
Yet ne'er to their yearning eyes
The glow Of the mystic sky appears
Where the land of the beautiful lies,
Yet all have wanderedits bright Wales through
In the quiet of peaceful hours:
Each heart the calm Of it's Joy once knew
And the sweet Of it's deathless flowers.
But hour by hour, from the hidden shore,
Our feet have journeying gone;
And days that have faded can know no moro
The light of it's tender dawn.
Yet we may find, in the great somewhere,
It's stretches Of pearl-white strand;
The bloom and beauty that dwelling there
Makes Heaven the Childhood Land.

rs1r THE NEW DEPARTURE ,


When the Democratic delegates, who
met in Convention at Columbus on the
Ist inst. to nominate a State ticket, pick
up their favorite newspapers and soberly
read over the resolutions which were adj
opted in the haste of an adjournment,
they will be as much amazed as their
Republican fellow-citizens to find them
selves and their party committed to the
declaration,
THAT the liberal principles embodied
by Jefferson in the Declaration of indie
Pendence, and sanctioned in the Con-
stitution, which makes ours the land of
liberty and the asylum of every nation,
have ever been cardinal principles to the
Democratic faith, and eUeIy attempt to
a611age the P1z0elggsS Of bec01ztng citi-
zealS and tile OzU1ze1y Of soil among as
ought to be resisted ae1tb tie same sbt,Tt
7Oslch S7te6t tie alien and Sealzi0T h270S
from 0zk1- statute 60OJRS.''
The author Of this undoubtedly knew
it to be not only historically false, but in
direct condemnation of the past course
of the Democratic party, and its present
policy in the Pacific States. 1t never was
a cardinal principle of the party, to use
Mr.. Jefferson S language, that all men
are created equal and endowed with GER
tain inalienable rights, among which are
life, liberty and the pursuit Ofhappiness.'
The party never recognized that doctrine
unqualifiedly, but sought to limit its
significance. to the white race. It was
held to be at best no more than a glitter
ing generality, a pyrotechnic display on
the part of the fathers for the benefit of
King George and his minister's
The party has zealOusly sought 10
abridge the privileges of becoming citi-
zens with constancy of action it has
never displayed in any other matter of
public policy, making it a cardinal prin-
Ciple that no colored man should be al
lowed the possession of any political
privileges whatsoever. In the Pacific
States it stands pledged to the same mar
row and exclusive policy, declaring that
no Asiatic. however intelligent or quail
fed, shall be permitted the privilege Of
citizenship. These facts are notorious.
If the resolution, quoted above, was
drawn and adopted in good faith, and
with full knowledge of its intent and
meaning, which we doubt, then the Dem
Ocratic party of Ohio has indeed taken a
new departure, and already stands upon
Radical grounds, for neither Wendell
Phillips or Charles Sumner could reason
ably ask heartier ratification of their
political teachings. The claim that the
principles enunciated in the resolution
have ever been a part of the Democratic
faith, though it can not be substantiated
by an appeal to its history, is pardon
able, since it grows out of an old habit
of asserting the clearest consistency of
conduct in the very act of turning a
political somersault.- Cincinnati Com

SOCIAL LIFE IN CHINA.

In China man and wife never walk
together arm-in-arm in public, or even
side by side, but the wife always follows
her lord at a respectful distance, as the
women always do among the American
Indians. At social parties the sexes sit
at different tables, occupying separate
rooms, and visiting only among them
selves. Strangers of opposite sexes are
never introduced, nor do the women
ever speak of the men, unless relatives
or intimate associates of the family.
There is no such thing as social life. in
our sense of the word, among the
Chinese, and all their social and domes-
tic theories and practices are based on
the idea of women's inferiority and in
significance.
They are astonished to see the freedom
and equality allowed between the sexes
among the Europeans, and argue strenu-
ously against it and, when vanquished
in the argument, they reply with their
usual stubbornness and pertinacity:
"May be good Englishman Chinaman,
no good.
Since the coming of European ladies
into China, some of their own women
have begun to entertain some little idea
of their rights, and it is now become a
proverb among the Cinnamon, that ''the
two most dangerous things that can be
imported into China are foreign women
and foreign gunpowder.' Yet, on the
whole, the weaker sex are rather kindly
treated, and in general, are not much
abused.

OHIO REFORM SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

The Dayton Journal of May 18th
says: There are now tventy-seven
girls at the Industrial School, established
by the State at White Sulphur Springs
for the reform of girls that have been
deemed incorrigible. The establish
ment is under the superintendence of
DR.. Nichols and his estimable lady, who
are succeeding admirably in controlling
and teaching the girls put under their
charge. Sheriff SWadener some time ago
escorted to this School an "incorrigible, -
named Clara Davidson; and a few
months afterward another of the same
bad reputation, by name of Charlotte
Gibson.
Last Thursday, when he visited the
School for the purpose of placing the
young vagrant, Sarah Bolden, there, he
saw the girls whom he had already
taken there, and he was astonished
at the change wrought in them in so
short time. Neither one Of the girls
could read or write prior to getting into
the School one of them could not even
make out the alphabet. And they had
very bad manners. Now they can both
read and write moderately well and they
are well-dressed, and as well behaved
and genteel as any girls you will find.
The girls are taught to read and write,
and to do needle-work, and all kinds of
house work. They all seemed cOnten-
ted and happy, and none of them wan
ted to go home.
