UNDER THE MOON.


Like lilly-fowcr uplifted
Full blown on the blue tide-sway,
Into the heaven blossoms
The perfect moon Of May.
White under her own white glory
She sees, on the green young ground
The fallen bloom Of the cherry
Drift over double mound.
There, where the cottage chimncys
Peer dim through a mist of trees,
They sat by the hearth at evening,
With the child about their knees.
Three empty seats by the frcside,
Two graves meath the orchard bough'
The dead arc at rest together;
But where is the living now!
Pale in the smoky circle
That fain would shadow her noon,
Over the lights OF the city
Trembles the large May moon
Bat blind TO that searching splendor,
Deaf 10 the riotous street,
lie lies in drunken slumhcr-
The child that played at their feet.
We're il not veil, in the cradle,
Long since the babe had died
Had the little hcad-stonc risen
Those two green mounds beside !
Nay, this Is no: the ending,
o child Of their love and prayer,
Gods moon is one in the heavens,
His mercy every where.

NY FIRST NRHsPAPER.

The following is the experience OF a
mechanic, concerning the benefits Of
a newspaper:
Twenty years 1 lived in the town
Of D., in Indiana. On returning
home one night, for am a carpenter
by trade, I saw q little girl leaving
my dOOr. Ny wife met me at the
door with a smile, which is eneOurag-
ing to a tired mechanic, after a hard
DAYS labor. She said Mrs. r. had
sent her little girl after their newspa
per, which she had borrowed. We SAT
down to tea We had only been mar
ried six mOnts, and Of course had no
children. Ny wife said to me, calling
me by my given name, i wish you
would subscribe for the newspaper.
for ft Is so much comfort to me when
YOU are away from home. My answer
was: i would like to do SO, but you
know owe a little payment on the
house and lot. 1t will be all l can do
to meet it, She said, If you will
take the paper L will sew for the tail
or to nav for it, / subscribed for the
paper. 1t came In due time to my
Office. While resting one noon and
looking over It, 1 saw an advertise
ment Of the County Commissioners TO
let a bridge that was to be let. I put
! IN bid for building the bridge, and
got the job, on which I cleared $500,
which enabled me to pay for my
house and lot easily, and also for the
newspaper. II 1 had not subscribed
for the newspaper 1 would have
known nothing Of the bridge contract,
and could not have met my payment
on my house and lot. A mechanic
never loses anything by taking bis
county paper.

VICTORIOUS RECORD.

The Democracy nowadays are en-
deavoring to impeach the record o.
the Republican party, and make tnls
arbitrary impeachment the basis OF
their appeals to the people In favor OF
a change Of administration. But the
unteFrihedn will have TO present more
potent Fea sons than their naked say
so before they can produce any change
in the general sentiment OF tho
people.
The grand results achieved by the
Republican party stand in the past
like pillars Of fire Illuminating all
surroundings with a bright and patri-
Otie fire. Nor can the record be de-
MED. There stand the facts and there
they will stand forever.
The following is a happy abridge-
ment Of the work Of the past decade:
A gigantic rebellion has been
crushed.
Armies Of a million raised and dis
banded.
Four million Of slaves set free.
Labor made free and honorable.
Free hOmesteads offered to all set
tiers.
The Pacific railroad built.
Universal liberty and equal, civil
political rights for the first time Sc
cured by the constitutional amend
ments.
The States that broke their eonnee-
ton reconstructed and restored.
Taxation frequently reduced. the
last reduction being eighty millions
year.
The national debt greatly reduced,
two hundred millions Of the redue-
ton taking place under the present
administration
The national credit Iaised at home
and abroad.
TIE prices Of gold brought steadily
downward.
The revenue vigilantIy collected
and honestly disbursed.
The perfect citizenship Of all adopt
ed citizens for the first time perfected
by settling the doctrine Of expatria-
ton.
The Monroe doctrine Yindieated, in
the case Of the French invasion Of
Mexico.
Peace maintained, and the national
charter kept in the highest respect
throughout the world.-Er.

German Immigration.

The question Is asked by the North
american Gazette what will be the
effect Of the new future Of Germany
upon immigratiOn2 The impression
is that the future is so grand that it
will create a vast national pride, and
arrest the immigration. This has
been the aim and study Of the Prus-
sIan statesmen all along. For years
they interpOsed every possible Obsta-
Gle in the way Of immigration. For
the last few years the German immi-
grafton has not increased. In 1867 it
was l21. .24O, in 1858 it was III, sos, in
1869 it was 124, 763, in 1870 it has fall
en- to 81, ,779. Obviously the grand
achievements Of the German arms in
the field are beginning to create a new
national pride, and to arrest immigra-
ton. Our increased influx has come
chiefly from the British Isles, the fig
ures standing thus. In 1855, 107, ,552
1853, Ia, ,716; in 1870, Isl ,OS9. The
increased English immigration isvery
marked since the subsidenee Of excite
nasnt about the Alabama claims
While that excitement ragged the Eng
lish immigration was quite small and
naturally so, in view Of the probabili
ties Of war.

The Next struggle.

The Boston Advertiser thinks that
the next bloody contest that occurs
in Europe will be between Great
Britain and Germany. II thus states
the ground Of its opinion;
1--WE have never Joined in the cry
that after the Emperor was dethrOned
Germany should have Withdrawn her
armies. As long as there was nesis-
tance she was bound TO continue Che
war. We have cOntended that II was
for the other nations Of Europe TO use
all their influence, even to the extent
of armed Intervention, TO prevent
unnecessary humiliation Of France.
They chose q different course. Their
remonstrances were Of the feeblest
and their policy was timid and irresO-
Lutte to the last degree. They have
lost their opportunity. They viii not
be called into a conference to arrange
a treaty; their sdviee will not be
needed. When the peace has been
concluded they must look to their 0wn
houses. War between France and
Germany was inevitable after SadO-
wa; war between Germany and Eng
land is inevitable to-day. Holland
and Belgium are coveted, and unless
Great Britain is pusillanimOus be-
yC I'd what we think, they will not be
absorbed by Germany without 9
bloody contest and while we-declart
the coming conflict, we cannot but
think that Great Britain has chiefly
lherseIf 10 blame for the result.-ShG

she had meddled 10 some purpose

where the Sun Never Sets.

The following graphic paragraph is
from the description Of a scene wit
messed by Mr.. Campbell and disparity
in the north Of Norway. from cliff
one thousand feet above the sea:
The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet the sound OF the
waves scarcely reach our airy look
out; away In the north the huffe old
sun swung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat of the pendulum in
the tall clUek Of our grandfather
parlOr corner. We all stood silent,
looking at OCr watches When both
hands came together at twelve mid
night, the full round orb hung tri-
umphantly above the wave-a bridge
of gold running due north spanned
the water between Us and him. There
be shOue in silent majesty which
knew no setting. We inyoluntarily
took on our hats and no word was
said. Combine, IL you can, the most
brilliant sunrise and sunset yOu ever
saw, and its beauties will pale before
the gorgeous eoIoring which now lie
up the ocean, heaven and mountain
In half An hour the sun had swung
by pereeptibly on its beat, the eolors
changed to those Of morning, fresh
breeze rippled over the d0Od, one
songster after another piped up in the
grove behind us-We had slid into
another day.

The Incredible Romance Of Reality.


An empire wrecked; the prOudest
emperor on earth stripped of power,
and on his dreary march to foreign
prison; the grand armies which
nearly twenty years imperial reign
had been forming, disciplining and
eouipping, slain or conquered; ; all this
In the short space of thirty days, one
brief calendar month! People ex-
claim: HHOW strangel 1t is incredi
blei It seems like a dream"
Yes; it is strange. 1t is difficult
10 believe. It is impossible, at first,
fully to realize. And yet il is all
true. On the twenty-eighth Of July
the Emperor Napoleon left Paris, to
eonauer Prussia. On the second day
Of September he humbly laid down
his sword at the feetOf King William
and on the following day left for a
German prison, which, 70 use the
polite phrase Of kings, his cOnqueror
had sappOinted for his future resi-
denee.H y There had been only thirty
days from the time Of the first skirm-
isb, and only twenty-five days of seri-
Gus, hard fighting in this great war,
to the time Of the downfall Of the EN-
peror and the Empire.
Within that period how many
thousands Of people have been slain
it is impossible yet to say; but the
number is immense, for the slaughter
was terrible on both sides There
were the most improved" instru-
ments of modern warfare. and never
did men fight more bravely aud more
desperately than both the vietOrs, and
the vanquished. And while the
whole world is busy discussing the
fact of the fallen Emperor, it is well
to bear in mind that the war has
brought consequences less mOmentOus
to hundreds of thousands Of Others To
many of these it has brought death ;
to many Of more it has brought
wounds, suferings and bereaye-
ments.
The outlines of one great romance
In this war we all comprehend, and
we realize il to be a romance Of reali-
ty. And it is not difficult to under
stand that, connected with 1t, there
must have been a thousand other rO-
mances no less strange, and all OF
them, too, romanees of reality.
If such such events as have taken
place within the closing month Oi
/ this past summer we're related in q
story, how universally would they
be pronounced exaggerated and un'
natural We all have the habit Oi
forgetting how strange truth and re-
ality are.
