Sue Sanders.

Cue Sanders was Il country lass,
With eyes rs brown ms buns.
And cheeks that held the pcachy bloom
OF eighteen summer suns.
She never owned silken dress,
Nor dreamed of Mechiin lace.
Yet wore her tidy home-spun gown
With such bewitching grace,
That scarce the merchants gayest goods
Had made her seem more fair
No princess with II swectcr grac3
A royal robe could wear.
One day there came city man,
With wealth and honors rife
And asked sweet Susy Sanders soon
If she would be his rfife.
N9w Sue cou.ntry laddie loved
, win scarce dime to show,
but 9usy iovcd him none the less,
hh'. so she answered No.
fho rich man bit his bearded lip
And bent his naughty head
But, hoping by his wealth to win.
lie waited still and said:
Your country lad is rude and rough.
With brawny, sun Drowned hands.
And offers with his clOwnish name
Nor gold nor goodly lands;
:" While wealth and gems, a stately house,
And name of ancient pride.
Are mine to offer to the one
l ask to be my bride"
Then redly flushed her rounded cheek.
And like queen she said
To plow and sow and reap the field.
And earn ones daily bread,
l think is nobler than to sit
Content life 5 cares 10 shrk,
And ne'er jewcled finger life
To any worthy work.
To me my WHY'S toil-worn hands.
Bronzed by the summer sun,
Are dearer far than if they had
30 flush of labor won.
And pray. good sir. have you not learned
Love IS not bought or sold ?
Hheneer Iwed. I'll wed a MAN,
And not his lands or gold"
With sullen brow the suitor grand
RODE fcrccly back to town.
And one May morn Sue welded Will,
Glad in her homespun gown.

A statement having been made that
a single bank in London had lost $35 900
in one year by the abrasion of the gold
coins, a practical philosopher visited
the Bank of England in order to exam
inc into the matter. This gentleman
reports that the whole breadth of a
counter upon which the sun happened
to be shining, displayed myriads of par
tcles of gold, which had evidently been
struck of, mainly, by the sharp edges
of the steel shovels used to remove por-
tions Of the heap of sovereigns. 1t is
also asserted that the milled edges of
the sovereigns must assist in the natu-
raj raspings of the coin.

But goes to sleep in snow -wreaths dim.

And waits. M Noah did. the dove.

A Scene at a Blast Fnrunce.

The furnace is tapped every IL hours,
at nine in the morning and nine at
night, the Stag or impurity which floats
on top of the molten mass having been
previously run off by an opening
higher up than the one from which the
good metal issues. There can be
nothing more dramatic in all manu-.
featuring than the scene at the tap.
ping of our furnaces. The vast, high
room in which it occurs is dark and
silent before the process begins. The
mufiied glow of the furnace does not
reach far back into the shadows. At
given signal tow men approach the
foot of the furnace, one applies an iron
bar to the clay plug, and the other
drives it in; and then there comes as
grand pyrotechnic display as ever
delighted the eyes of victorious
sovereign. The carbon flies in blue
and green stars from the molten
metal, and the somber cranes and raj.
tiers begin to reach forth their huge
arms from the darkness. The metal
runs slowly at first, but soon spreads
with grand rush over the floor of the |
whole building, into hundreds of |
moulds prepared for its reception.
Then it is that the illumination is
complete. Every grimy cobweb in
the roof is visible. AS the main
stream flows to the rear fthe building
it is quickly followed by gang of men
with sort of spades coated with fire.
clay, and as each section of the moulds
fills with metal this spade is thrust in
to cut off the supply and pervent an
overflow. When the metal is run out
there comes rush of burning gas
which is skillfully stopped by clay,
and II hours after this scene is enacted
again The fire is never allowed to
go out. The metal cools in the
and is taken out-pig iron.

The inconvenient manner in which
some persons do things is remarkable,
Some days ago Mr.. Jas. Hickey Of
Pittsburgh, died suddenly of heart
disease, and after the usual ceremony
on such occasions had transpired they
started with the corpse to the final
resting place of mortals. Just as the
hearse entered the gate of the of the
city of the dead, Mr.. Hickey's remains
unccremoniously kicked the lid from
the coffin and stepped out to argue
with the undertaken, aginst engaging
in such business without even consult
ing his wishes. That functionary pro-
duced the physicians certificate, that
the said Hickey was dead, and inquir-
ing if he would have the amazing
audacity to dispute that official doc
ument. Strange as it may seem, he
grieved his sorrowing relatives by re-
fusing to occupy his grave in quite,
peaceable manner, and now his widow
has a coffin and tomb stone on her
hands, and the money spent in obitu-
airy poetry, and other funeral expenses
has been wasted. 1t is to be deplored
that man brought up in Land of
Bibles, and Sunday Schools should
conduct himself so outragcously.

Indian Grave Making.

Near Toledo, Ohio, there are small
remnants Of two Indian tribes, the
Sacs and Foxcs-numbering in all,
men, women and children, perhaps
three hundred. They are very lazy
and degraded, and are fast dying out.
This is the manner in which they bury
their dead:
"a warrior among them having died,
was placed on large piece of bark,
raised seventy feet high in an old elm
800 secured by strong throngs Of leath-
er, and left there for more than two
years. A squaw was buried in sit
ting posture, the lower part of the
body covered with earth, the head and
trunk erect, and, except looping for
ward and sinking downward as the
ground settled, the skeleton sat upright
for nearly FIVE years. One of the men
buried in the same manner had his RI
file placed at his shoulder, firmly clasp
ed with both hands and dismally aimed
by the horrid hunter at blank vacancy,
till Nature dissolved the tendoms Of
the arm and the weapon fell length
wise on the grave. Sometimes they

even eleven feet. At others, the
corpse is laid on the surface of the

THE POLiTTCAL DRIFT.

The Springfield (Illinois) Register is full
0 proceedings of conventions in the Illinois
counties to elect delegates to the Democrat
&c SAFE Convention, which meets at Spring,
field on the 2Gth inst. They are all one
way. They all instruct for Greeley and
Brown. The Hon. James G. Robinson,
NJ. c., has arrived home among his consti-
tuents. The Register says:
ale is in exuberant spirits at the politi-
cal outlook, and insists that the Cinci matt
Liberal Convention named the next Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States. Mr.. Robinson represents that the
information at Washington, from all parts
Of the country, is that the cause Of Greeley
and Brown is swelling in volume, 50 that
in November next it will certainly over
whelm all opposition"
The Detroit FOltSbIdtt, one of the ablest
and most influential German papers in the
Northwest, came cat on the 9th inst. in an
able article for the Endorsement of Greeley
and Brown at Baltimore. It says:
ave DO not belong to the admirers of
Greeley, but personal differences must, in
such case, submit to the general inter
est. Whatever Greeley might formerly
have said or done against the Democratic
party, is now 10 longer Of any consequence.
He has put himself on purely Democratic
ground by the acceptance of the Cincinnati
platform, (Which in the main consists of
Democratic principles,) aud by the expla
nation in his letter of acceptance, he is now
in his principles with the exception Of pro-
tective tariff whatever he may call himself,
a Democrat"

COMING OUT FROM THE FOUE.
PARTY"

The leading Republican daily at Syra-
cuse, New York, the Standard, has repu-
dated the Philadelphia job and hoisted the
Greeley flag. The Philadelphia Post, hith-
erto straight Republican, has seconded the
Standards motion. The Post says:
against hope we have awaited the &C
ton of the Philadelphia Convention, giving
it the benefit of the doubt that it might re-
spect the wishes of so many earnest and
independent Republicans, and nominate for
the PTesidencya man upon whom the whole
party could unite. This would have been
the event had the Convention been chosen
by the people, but the people had very little
to do with it. Il was the creation of the
administration, the expression of the Presi-
dents will, an6, in our deliberate opinion,
an insult to American manhood and indie
p ndence.
ave cannot support Gen. Grant, for we
do not believe him TO be dit TO be President
of the United States. He was originally
elected as political necessity as a military
hero, and the nation took on trust The as
slrances Of his civil capacity. Those as
frances have not been justified
TO re-elect Grant after proofs Of his unfit
a dangerous experiment for the republic"
Tae Charleston Republican, one of the
TIVE daily Republican papers in South Caro-
lima, has run up the Greeley and Brown
flag. The Beaufort Is. c. Republican,
another journal of that party, says;
"The Philadelphia Convention, as all who
have watched its manufacture have expect
ed, has renomiDatei Grant The fresi-
dent Just as much owned the convention as
thought had been another present, as in
deedit was, from office holders. There is
not now, nor was there ever, the least en-
thusiasm for Grant among the people. The
Grant office holder and Cffice-seeker, has
simply been nominated by convention OF
oliice-holders and o1fice-seekeTs. We repII-
date The nomination, and believe it will
meet with defeat more thorough than has
ever been experienced by a Presidential
ticket"

TIE Banner, whose editor was at Gin
cinnai, in speaking OF the ticket tic day
after the nominations were made said:
"The ticket is a strong one. notWithstand-
ing the fact that its nomination was effected
through agencies not altogether uncommon
10 nominating conventions, smacking a lit
tie too much of political intriguing TO be
entirely in accord with the unsslfsh pa
triOtism which inspired this Liberal move
ment and produced this convention. Up
to twelve O'Clock the day before, the nOni-
nation Of Adams was re yargied as a fJregone
conclusion. The sUddennesS with which
that legitimate result was anticipated may
be attributed to the timely arrival on the
scene Of that incompatible controller of the
destinies OF conventions, the Honorable
Francis ?. Blair, to whom certainly be 0nes
the credit of organizing the decisive ballot
which las pre- Ssnted the honest ma ne Of
Horace Greeley 10 the American PEG DE as
the leader ofthe LIBERAL hosts in tn cam
Paign Of 1872"
Are We from this to account for the hos
tiliiy Of the Banner to the pCmin 4ting Of
candidates. "Tnat Incompatible controller
of lie destinies OF conventions, the Honor
able Francis =. B!ar," will doubtless be at
Baltimore, and arrange everything satisfac-
tory for Mr.. Greeley.

TIE 1merican journal Of IlSaHj'y
prints an elaborate article by Prof. George
9. Sawyer, OF Utica, New York, reviewing
the criminal career Of Edward II. RulloG,
VINO was executed by hanging at Bingham
ton little ever q year ago for murd T. A
very strong effort was made at The time to
induce Gov. Hoffman TO commute lis sen
tauce On the ground that he was insane.
In the opinion Of Prof. Sawyer, who has
investigated the case Of this somewhat re-
maEkable man with careful and learned at
tsntion, he was not insane, but "stands
forth as conspicuous example of the utter
wOTthlessness of high intellectual endoW-
ments, severed from moral culture. Some
one has speculated as to how much evil g
man fully developed, Intellectually, and
thoroughly inscriptions, might accom-
plish. RUllof approaches to the type Of
such a moral monster" This opinion
seems to justify Gov. Hoffman in his refusal
TO interfere with the sente ce of the court.

TIE practice Of betting on elections has
grown to such proportions Of late years in

/ - TEAESAABGBTER 0E-(0E.FAx -
The seeds Of bitter weeds were sown in
the Philadelphia Convention, and they-Hill
spiing up and grow. The slaughter of Col
faxwm not soon be forgotten. When his
letter expressing determination to retire
to private lifa was published, he was beset
By Republicans, both great and small, and
especially by Grants friends, and urged to
reconsider his determination. Finally he
yielded to these opportunities, and con-
scented to be candidate for denomination.
But some of these men appear to have
played false 70 Colfax, for they soon got
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, on the
track. The Wilson men came down upon
-Colfax IN every form Of electioneering, -Ie-
sorting especially to circulars, which were
ingenious and disingenious. Massschusets
cunning headed and beheaded poor Colfax.
We copy below specimen of the circulars
"REAsoNs AGAINST NOMINATING Sc .UY.
| LER COLFAX.
"First. He is advocated before this Con.
vent ion BY the monopolies and corporations,
such as the Western Union Telegraph Com.
pany, the BesseIner steel monopoly, and
the public domain railways and their eastern
feeders.
Second. He does not represent the solid
and sincere side Of American public life. He
smiles without sympathy and f4tters with,
out affection. He has beer. too well re-
! warced already at the hands of his party
and TO renominate him is to give a second
endorsement to false pretences.
Third. The Northwest has gone back
on hlm-his own section, which ought to
know him best, he has no great State
there except Indiana, by the grace of Gov
| ernOr Morton, and Michigan, Illinois, Wis
consin, Iowa, Missouri, and Ohio, the bat
tie grounds, do not ask his continuance on
the ticket.
! "Fourth. The influential and alert Wash
ington correspondents, many Of whom are
! Republicans, have professional reasons for
rating him as not entitled to their support.
Is 1t well to provoke this opposition during
the next five months?
! 'Fifth. lie has entrapped one of the few
hard working and warm-hearted RepUbIi-
cans--a founder Of the party, Henry VIII
| sOn-intO standing for the Vice Presidency,
and would now for afFeak, a pque, or for
| some vacillating motive, humilate this
worthy and able Republican. Let these
considerations be weighed"
It was "the unsindest cut Of all" that
'the Influential and alert Washington cor
respondents" should have gone back" on
poor Colfax, who was journalist Of many
years standing. They appear TO have sac
rifced their respect for the profession in
their haste TO sacrifice Colfax. But such is
Radicalism. Perhaps the Republicans of
Indiana viii forgive Grant for the ruthless
manner in which ihis friends slaughtered
their fayorite, but they cannot soon forget
it. After Philadelphia, Colfax's friends in
Indiana are estoPped from saying anything
abou. the turn affairs took at Cincinnati.
1t is clear if Grant had wanted Colfax on
the ticket with him, he would have been
nominated.

But this "man Of heart" is known 10 the

to run as the Republican candidate for

REFERRING to the report exculpating
Senator Pomeroy from the charges Of cor
ruption in securing bis election that had
been made against him, the Philadelphia
Press (Forney's paPer) says:
ave very much fear that if committees
were appointed TO investigate al Senatorial
elections the result would be different, and
the disclosures disgrsceful."
That is not compl mentary to the Radical
majority Of the Senate.
