Who Will Run ?

Tho Radical papers, especially those of the
ultra stamp, have all along been striving tc
hold up the idea before the people that there
is no opposition to Grant for the next term
among the faithful. 1t now appears, however
that these faithful sentinels upon the watch
towers Of the Republic admit that there is
some dsaifection in the ranks OF the "trooly
loil,p and that the preference Of the dissatisfied
RAIDS centres upon our smiling, urbane, and
handsome tice-Prdsident 1t is stated upon
good Republican authority that the move
ment" is in charge of that eminent statesman.
philosopher and agriculturist, Greely, of the
Nep York Tribune greely is a power for
good or for evil as he may elect, and the "pow-
ers that be +" know it. He has been and still
is, unless be has backed down, d Strenuous ad-
vocate Of the one-term doctrine. lie can CO.
YER bis disafection to Grant under that idea
No need for that, however, as any man with
one eye may see that bis love for the man on
horseback has been growing cold for some
time. 1t does not appear whether or not he
himself has abandoned all hopes Of the White
House,-but mum" is the word
The Nelc York Standard thinks all the
movements Of the smiling Colfax confirm this
theory. His recent sickness is called "oppor-
tune" as it drew to him the generous sympa-
thy of the people for an industrious and until
ring officer, who had almost sacrificed bis life
in the prime of manhood for the good Of the
Republic. His Temperance and Sabbath
School speeches are thought to indicate de-
sire to win over the moral and religious por-
tion of the community. And then his pru-
dence is commented on in set phrases Of ap-
proval Just So, Mr.. Standard Coliak is en-
tirely too prudent and too much of a politician
too deep, if you please, Notwithstanding that
smiling exterior, far too deep, ever to let him
self be thus committed He will not be the
Radical candidate, and Horace Greedy knowsit
too. None but Grant is the watchword ofthe
party. The dissatisfied land they are legionJ
will all fall in by-and-by, and headed by the
Army Of the Potomac and the "Grand Ar
my Of the Republic" will march on to victory.

UNTO THEE.


When all the world seems nothing worth
And hope and pleasure fade and flee;
When all is doubt upon the earth,
And all is darkness on the sea,
Where should come but unto Thee,
o God who keepest me?
This burning soul, so long repressed,
That longs to pour itself and weep,
And on some kind supporting breast
To sigh and sob itself to sleep
Where should bring, but unto Thee,
0God who heareth me
These lettering bonds of toll and care,
Which make the sinking spirit faint;
This load which seems TO bear;
This trembling gush Of deep complaint
Where should hiring, but unto Thee,
. God who pities me!
This heart that mourns bis death above,
:, That aches with hungry emptiness,
That these poor husks of earthly love
Have failed to satisfy or bless
Where should bring, but unto Thee,
U God! who lowest me?
o Friend beyond all other friends
o love beyond all other lovel
Thy peace into my heart descends;
Ny heart beats camlY as doves,
When all my woes bring to Theei
D Godi who nearest me.

DEATH.
ny EtLL rRKExAY oooDELL.

ny ELLA FREEMAN GooDELL.
Who questions, when the dead leaves fall to earth,
If there will come again, with springtime's birth,
Bud, leaf, and fower9
Each day the day light fades away into the night,
And do we vex ourselves, lest coming light
May fail its powerY
Each year earth wraps herself in white, to rest
Unto another summers toll. Who feareth lest
She wake no more? "a
We plant the seed with watchful patience wait,
Nor Doubts coming shade; though il may come
SO late,
Our tolls are o'er.
We trust with blindest faith material things, b..
But fearing trembling, wait for what death brings,
Grasp tight life's chain,
As If its days were all. The lowiest weed
Must live its life, bud, blossom, bear its seed,
Die, live again.
Oh doubling, fearing ones, grow yet more wise.
Are we not greater, in our Fathers eyes,
Than weeds He keeps
To live again? Natures lesson only heed,
"Growth from decay" tits garments worn," we
read,
Only, that sleep.
