fast" and says:
While we deem II wise and patriotic to in
vite the co cooperation Of the Republican enc
mics OF General Grant, and 10 make il easy for
them to act with us, they must understand
that 1t Is we, aud not they, whose hands are
on the helm Of the Democratic ship. We are
willing to take them in as partners, but their
control can only be In proportion to the active
capital they bring into the concern. They
know who we are, but We do not know who
they are. In the last Presidential election,
under very adverse circumstances, we cast a.
6i3,6l2 votes for Seymour against Z, ,9TS 55l for
Grant when his military laurels were still fresh;
and surely General Grants conduct in The
Presidency has not won over any Democratic
votes to his side. The Democratic party Is at
least as strong Ia numbers as II was iu 1868. -
General Grants Republican enemies have 90 od
data for judging how much we could contribute
to combined movement. But we have, as
yet, no trustworthy data for estimating either
their strength or the boldness, courage, and
determination OF their leaders. Until they are
in a position to give US information on these
points, we shall go too far IL we do more than
signify willingness to cooperate on honorable
terms. The completion Of the proposed be-
trothal must depend upon what resources they
can show In arranging the marriage settle
ment Meanwhile, the Democratic party will
act like prudent father who favors the match,
but waits ill he can inspect the title-deeds.

THE OLD sCH0oLHOUsE,

J sat an hour to day, John,
Beside the old brook stream
Where we were school-boys In old time.
When mankind was dream;
The brook Is choked with fallen leayes.
The pond Is dried away,
scarcely think that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The sehoolhouse Is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees
The wild rose by the wind ow's eide
No more waves in the breeze;
The scattered stones look desolate,
The sod they rested on
Has been ploughed up BY stranger hands
Since you and were gone.
The chestnnt-tree is dead. John,
And what is sadder, now,
The broken grapevine of our swing
Hangs on the withered bough.
read our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
As we had piled them there.
Beneath the grass-brown bank, John,
looked for our old spring,
That bubblrd down the alder path
f"NNo fioui Nut
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool Is black and bare,
And not foot for many a day,
1t seems, has trodden there.
took the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the hill
'Tis darker than 1t used to be,
And seems so lone and still;
The birds sing yet upon the boughs
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not voice OF human kind
Where all our voices rung.
sat me on the fence, John,
That stands as in olden time,
The same half panel in the path
We used so oft to climb
And thought how, DER the bars of life,
Our playmat had passed on,
And left mo counting or the spot
The faces that are gone.

THE MURDERED ARoHBIsHoP
a Sketch OF his Career.

George Darboy, Archbishop OF Paris, who
has been sacrificed to the Insane fury OF the
Paris mob, was prelate Of great eminence in
the Roman Catholic Church.
He was born in 1913, and after completing
his studies at the Langres Seminary, was Or
aained in 1886. He advanced from the position
OF curate to several positions Of ecclesiastical
distinction. In 1876 he removed to Paris,
where he was appointed chaplain of the Col
leSe Of Henry ", and honorary canon OF the
see Of Paris, by MonseigneuI AGre, then Arch
bishop, whose official mitre Ind whose crown
of martyrdom it has been his destiny, each m
| its turn, to inherit. He was appointed Bishop
of Nancy in 1859. Fsur years later he was
transferred to the archiepiscopal see Of Paris.
DuYlng his administration he observed mod
crate and conciliatory policy. His pastoral let
tiers were regarded by the ultramontanes
as too tolerant in their tone. His con-
finement in the political prison known as Ma
zas commenced on the 9Th ult., when ne
was seized as hostage by the Communists
He was visited by Minister Washbnrne on the
[ 23d ult., who wrote to the secretary of State:
F"I was deeply touched at the appearance OF
this venerable man, with his slender person.
his form somewhat bent, his long beard, and
his face haggard with ill-health." Mr.. Wash.
burne's testimony makes 1t certain not only
that the Archbishop was iiarshly and indecent
" treated by his captors, but that ne pore nim-
self under the unprovoked indigni,ies which
were heaped upon him with singular patience,
sweetness and nobility OF spirit. Archbishop
Darboy was eminent hoth as a preacher and q
| writer. His chief works were an edition OF
| ..St. DionysiRs. the Aecopagite," very popll-
| lar book on ';The Women OF the Bble," q
translation OF the "Imltation,' with illnstra'
lions by Overlook, and, curiously enough, q

Archbishop, who fell victim so long age. Ii

A malron Oh Montargis; in France, recent
ly put summary end 10 an attempt made by
four citizens of that town--one Of them being
her husband.-to establish the Commune.
These four, flourishing their chassepots, plant
ed the red flag before the city hall, and pro-
claimed the independence of the village. Be-
fore any active steps could be taken to sup
press them by the authorities, the matron Ilen-
toned stalked up to her warrior husband, took
his gun from his hand. and threw it away,
hauled down the flag, and finally marched her
husband off by the ear. This prompt action
caused The others to disperse, and the revolu-
ton was efectually suppressed.
