His eyes are beautiful, sparkling and vivid.
He reproves with majesty, and his exhor-

He is very temperate, very modest and

The disgracefully corrupt aud extrava-
CANT administration of Grant, with total
disregard of the feelings and hopes of the
Democracy, has saved enough of the nation
alrevenre in September to apply thirteen
anda half millions on account of the public
debt, which makes the reductions of the
past six months little more than sixty
millions of dollars. Such niggardly frugal
ity will certainly ruin the country unless
the people rise in their might very soon
and place the strictly moral and economical
Tammany Democracy in charge Of the ma
tonal finances. Marin Journal

The stag.
By JOAQUIN MILLER.

And then from out the shadowed wood
The antlered deer came stalking down
In half shot of where stood;
Then stopped and stamped impatiently-
Then shook his head and antlers high,
And then his keen horns backward threw
Upon his shoulders broad and brown,
And thrust his muzzle in the air,
Snuffed proudly, then blast he blew,
As if to say the coasts clear.
And then from out the sable .od
His mate and twy sweet dappled fawns
Stole forth, and by the monarch stood;
She timid, while the little ones
Did start like aspens in gale.
Then he, as if to e-assure
The trembling and demure,
Again his antlers backward threw,
A gain blast defiant blew,
Then led them proudly down the vale
