THE DIVISION OF TWIN dividing
time into convenient quantities, the sun
plays an important part. One revolution
of the earth round the sun constitutes n
year, the grand basis of our calendar. and
modern science has attained to such nc.
curacy that it gives. as the exact length of
a year. 800 days, 3 hours, As minutes.
10 seconds and seven tenths of a second ::
which is pretty close calcula'ion for the
movements Of such large body as moth
er earth. The odds and ends oftime over
the 500 days are carefully gathered up
for future use. so that when enough has
accumulated to make twenty four hours
once in four ycars-we get another dav
To the year. Aud still this is not exact.
for day every fourth year is too much
by | minutes, 10 seconds. and three
tcn;hs of second. In 1852 these sur
plus seconds had well proved that .'manv
a little makes n good deal for Pope
Gregory found that they had amounted to
ten days. AMI ascertainiug what would be
the correct thing for the future. decrccd
that the extra day hitherto reckoned in
leap year should be dropped three times
every four hundred years. All this is
rather curious, but it lsskes no practical
difference with our own lives or deeds.
only in the lesson taught that. small and
seemingly triting as are the seconds of
time. they. by their steady. never-eeasing
progress. slowly but surely count out the
lives and the actions of all created things.
and no mortal power can stay the hours

We trust, too, we shall hear no more nau-
seating stuff about accepting him as choice
of evils" If people are too timid in their ma
lures. too much afraid of Tom, Dick or Harry,
to have an opinion of their own and come out
manfully in the expression of it, why it is bet
ter that they keep out of the fight altogether.
They should retire to Jericho until their boards
be grown. Nobody takes Mr.. Greeley as
''choice of evils, because his election cannot
be an evil to the country. 1t will be positive
good, and one of the grandest blessings that
could be vouchsafed to our whole people and
how can the instrument of so much good be an
evil? No, zoe do not accept him as ''choice
of evils" We held back from his full endorsa-
ton for other reasons than because we believed
his election would be only choice of evils
From the first we declared he would give US a
good and honest administration of the govern
meDt, and would be acceptable to the people of
the South. and what more need we ask of any
President? We were cautious of accepting MIR.
Greeley, because we were fearful we might not
be able to unite the Democratic vote of the
North upon him. That was all. As soon as
we became convinced, however, that the De-
mocracy of the North would support Mr.. Gree
ley, we felt that he was the safest and the best
candidate we could select He is an honest
man and good American, loving his whole
country, having faith in its sublime destiny,
and hating no portion of its people; and for
these good qualities we accept him as our
choice, and not as the least obnoxious of two
evils. Rich. Enquirer. -

Poetry.
Ever Fondly Dreaming Of Thee.

Of thy gentle voice, how it doth cheer
Thou art the star that is mildly beaming,
Shines over my path and makes it clear
Thy form in my heart I ever cherish
Every pleasant thought swiftly flies to thee
Oh, never can |, till memory perish
Forget how dear thou art to me-
When sad and lonely, I am ever dreaming,
Rowing afar where my soul joys to dwell;
Oh, feel love thee truly, r1s, ~ =
My love for thee no tongue can tell.
Precious art thou, more precious by far
Than any other object on earth is to me;
Thy form seems brighter than beaming star,
And am ever fondly dreaming of thee.

Senator Thurman on the Situation

CLEVELAND, July 15.-The Plaindealer to-
day published letter from Hon. A; u. Thur.
man, who says that though he would prefer the
democrats had resolved on straight democratic
ticket, he will work earnestly for the election Of
Greeley and Brown, as it is the will of the par
ty, and he believes that the welfare of the coun-
try requires the defeat of the present admin
istration The nomination of Greeley and Brown
a. Baltimore, he says, was the work of the peo-
pie, the politicians having nothing or little tc
do with it.
The democratic party does not abandon its
principles, but believing, as it does, that the
course of the radical leaders threatens to destroy
all const itutional and democratic ideas, it il
bound by its principles to seek to overthrow
those leaders, and if it cannot do it by the mode
it would prefer, it is but common sense to take
the next best.
