"THE Workingmeu's Benevolent Asso-
citation and other combinations Of laborers
who get up strikes" in the coal mines and
other places, are in our Judgment the fruits
of political demagogues, and do everybody
harm, and none less than the poor strikers
themselves who are constantly kept in a
state Of excitement and uncertainty, and
who during the strikes consume or squan-
der all they posses, whilst the whole trou-
be arises from a set Of demagogucs who
are using them for political purposes"
The above is from the Selinsgroye Times,
the organ of the Democracy of Snyder
County. What is remarkable, is the fact
that the strikers arc nearly all democrats,
and are controlled by democrats. In this
county, and in all mining counties, the
strength Of the Ta~ty has been kept up
solely by recruits from these seli-same
strikers and demagogues who head them.

A MEMORY.

Through the twilight clear and golden,
Comes memory sweet and olden.
Sweet, because an essence fingers,
All untouched by Times swift fingers.
Like a casket which discloses
Long forgotten, wlthered roses.
Old, because the chain is broken,
Linking us TO thoughts unspoken.
Once we stood mid soft Winds signing,
AS the summer day was dying;
With The trees around US swaying
At our feet the water playing;
With the branches DER Us meeting
There We stllled our hearts quick beating
For, as from the distant Alden,
Came a voice with sorrow laden.
It moment seemed to culver
Der the silTer tinted river.
Soft as stars from Heaven falling,
O'er the river it seemed calling;
Sweet as dreams from Heaven straying,
''It is /, the voice seemed saying.
All l know 1 was but dreaming
Oh the voice and water cleaning. l.
But, the words so sweetly spoken,
OF thee are sacred token.
Neyermore beside the river
VIII we watch the waters culver,
Or the clear rays of the morning,
All the purple hills adjoining.
But sweet sister, in my dreaming,
There see the soft lights beamng;
And when sleeps soft chain hath bound me
Then I tool dAa irCund
The night seems no longer lonely,
If hear thy footsteps only.
And [ wait through darkness dreary,
Though my heart is all Aweary,
Till the angels, slow descending,
Summon me to lite ns'er ending.

POETRY.

ALICE AND PHGBE CARY.

Lovely as human souls could be,
Two lives so tuned to one sweet key
OF tender, hopeful harmony
And 1nest chords of sympathy
Not often kin of flesh are found.
Bv kindred thought so strangely bound.
like rare sweet twin flowers, side by side,
They blossomed, faded, and then died.
All rgys for what exquisite bliss,
Togetherin a world like this,
For two, apart from Iowly strife,
To live the sous ideal life
The song of bird and breath Of flower
Had over each an equal power,
And every deep, unuttered word
Their spirit ears together heard. :.
So much in one their souls had grown,
That not in Heaven, or earth, alone
Without the other, one could be,
SO Death in kindness made both free.
Sing sweetly on, pure souls, in Heaven,
Where nobler themes and powers are given
Bat know, the songs that mere had birth,
Shall live to beautiiy the earth !

Of salvation ?''--P0uI.
Spirits are light, aud oft repose
On piles Of sunset clouds at even,
Or, poised in air, their pinlons close,
A space midway 'tWiXt earth and heaven.
There, whether good or whether bad
Sent forth, albeit, by God or devil,
They lure us, and we follow glad
The path We chose Tor good or evil
When sickness, pain, or death appears,
The good are round us lowering;
Shield US from danger, wipe our tears,
Our couch their Kind wings covering.
They soOthe our grief, guard our repose,
They wait tor us at heavens portal,
Thence sent to minister TO those
Who shall be heirs of life immortal.
And oft, when Evil throws his darts
With thought mallgn, SO thick around US
their gentle Whisperlngs touch our hearts;
Their own soft wings, torsOoth, surround US
And stronger grow the chords that bind
Our willing souls to the Supernal,
While Hope exults, and Faith entwnes
Around us arms OF Love eternal.
And when, at last, the touch of Death
From fear OF Sin or sinnings frees us,
In arms OF Love-or wings OF Faith
Ihey bear our happy souls to Jesus. g
