From the New York Observer.
The Frost Kings Masterpiece.
BY MISS CARRIE A. sPALDING.

Oh paint with bold'.a mastery hand.
And bow to no rival Throughout the broa
land,
Not Raphael or Titan can vie with my skill,
Or image the hues that frame at my will.
l dip my brush in the sparkling wave,
leave my touch on the forest cave,
Never mortal such tracery drew,
AS on fringed lake beneath my pencil grew
take the foam from Niagara's brow,
Where the torrent is raging and plunging now;
And l hang her crest with such pendants DER.
AS no sculptor or artist could equal before.
But the noblest work for many day,
AS over the cath have taken my way,
Was the painting with scarlet and golden
sheen,
The whole extent Of the forest green.
Twas q moonllt night, and the shadows fell
With waving light, on mountain and dell
The leaves fell asleep in sombre dress,
But awake in gorgeous loneliness.
Oh the sun rose bright on that autumn day,
And glorious sight brought the morning ray,
For the forest trees, all withered and old,
Were in regal robes, with crown of gold.
And over the earth was softening light,
A roseate hue, yet 80 clear and bright,
That it cast CLEAN on the shadiest spot,
Where even the sunbeam had entered not
And the purple glow on the distant hills,
And the sparkling of pearly, gushing rills,
For my pictur so rare, was a sitting meet;
What painter shall dare with my skill to COM
pete?
And when from the caverns there came the
soft breeze,
To kiss the red lips of the blushing trees,
There fell such shower from the dropping
stems,
That the air seemed full of the ruby gems.
Then above the green turf, was carpet more
rare
Than the Gobelin web, so costly and rare;
More tasteful and gorgeous the blending ap-
pears,
Than mortals could weave in a thousand years.
So yield to no artist under the sun,
breathe on my canvas-the painting is done ;
At once into life such splendors do spring,
Asno painter e'er made, save the Old Frost
King.

1873. THE WORLD. 1879

A new political era is opening be-
fore the country.
The negro-cycle of our politics has
rounded to its conclusion through civil
war, social violence, industrial disord
err, and has ended in giving freedom to
four millions of the negro race, and the
ballot to its adult males.
THE old order changcth, yielding place to new.
The politics of this new era will come
home to every mans business and
bosom as never before, being vital to
private prosperity and the maintenance
of u Democratic Republic.
For not only are the manifold en-
croachments Of Federal upon State pow
ers and of both upon the large liberty of
American treemen now as always to be
repealed with ceaseless vigilance not
only is home rule or local self
government now as always to be main
tanned for the best guarantee of civil
liberty and Of national greatness, but
besides, the victories Of peace which
are to give splcndor to the new polti-
cal era must be won against every
advantage which even enemies of free
institutions could desire or possess.
A gigantic debt, which the honor of
the country is pledged to pay, en-
cumbers all our industries with its OPP
prcssive burden. Nevertheless our
system of Municipal and State Taxa
ton are crude unequal, and dcfraud
the poor to release the rich. Never
less our system of Federal Taxation is
such an infamous masterpiece Of ignor-
ance and incapacity, put to the vile
uses of monopolists and favorites aud
thieves, as never anywhere has dis
graced modern civilization since Louis
XIV, with his methods Of taxation
rather than its amount, paralyzed the
industries Of France. And along with
the Tariff, which prohibits the export
of our manufactures, abridges the
number of our industries, cuts down
the profit upon the exports from all our
farms, plantations, and mircs abolish
es our shipping from off the high seas,
and flches S. from the peoples peck
cts every time it puts 81 into the L. S.
Treasury,-along with this engine of
stupidity, and fraud goes
Currency of huctuating value as the
measure of vaules in every act of do
nestle exchange.
Whatever parties may arise or fall,
whatever their defeats or triumphs,
and whatever their names, THE WORLD
now and always will remain the I'M
Anching champion of a
LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY.
whereof Freedom defended and defined
by Justice, is the polar

Surprise Parties.

Those surprise parties, somehow,
nearly always turn out unpleasantly
They tell about one that came off in
Connecticut recently, which was not
half so joyous as well-conducted fun
eral, 1t was reported that a man and
his wife, who have been married many
years without any children, that they
had at last been made happy by the
birth of a daughter. Some of their
friends determined to give the man a
presentation surprise party, So about
forty persons marched up to the house
one evening, carrying u cradle and lots
Of cummings, and bib, and bottles with
gum nozzles, and baby carriage, and
some little night-gowns, and a coral
armlet, and a gross of soothing-syrup,
and socks and parogoric. And they
all burst into the parlor at once, on tip
toe. And when the man, in amaze
ment, asked them what they ment by
such conduct, they said they were com
ing in quietly so as not to wake the
baby. And when he blushed and
stammered, and asked, "What baby?"
they said his baby, and began to hand
him the things, and to load him up
with soothing syrup and gum rings,
until he got mad and tioored one of
the guests with quart bottle of pare
goric, and held him down until he ex-
planned And then it was revealed
that it was all a mistake about that lit
tie daughter; that no such arrival had
taken place at all, but that the arrival
was false. And then the surprise party
was a great deal more surprised than
the man was; and the guests gathered
up that infant furniture, and tried to
pretend to the man that they never
thought he had daughter, but that
they understood he had accepted a
position as directed of an orphan asy-
lum, and that they had brought around
few things for him to distribute among
the poor, tatherless children. The man
said it was singularly thin, and then
the company went home,

ANOTHER UNPUBLISHED LETTER FROM
Mr.. GREELEY.-In a letter to the Hon.
Mason W. Tappan, dated Nov Sth, one
of the very last that Mr. Greeley wrote,
he expresses great gratitude to Mr.. Tap
pan for going into the recent contest in
his behalf with such zeal and says in
his grayely iocuIar manner;
II have been so bitterly aSSaicd that
| hardly know whether was running
for the Presidency or for the Pcnitcn-
tiary."
Mr.. Greeley thus speaks of the death
of his wife
GIN the darkest hour, my long-5uh'er-
ing wife lef not too soon as she had
suffered too deeply and long. | laid
her in the grave with hard, dry eyes.
Well, | am used up, | nave slept little
forweeks, and my eyes are hard to close,
while they soon open again"
Certain illusions made in the letter,
as stated to us by Mr. Tappan, we are
not at liberty at present to specify but
hope that he will find it consistent with
propriety ultimately to publish he whole
letter, the contents Of which are speci-
ally interesting on account Of their con-
veying the latest impressions Of Mr.,
GrecleyS mind on the situation of pub
lie affairs -CmcmW O., H,) PdhM
