THE DIM OLD FOREST.

Among the dim old pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
Is one of dim old forest
That seemeth the best Of all.
Not for its gnarl'd oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest.
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowSlip,
1t seemeth to me the best.
I once had little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep;
In the lap of that dim old forest
He lieth in peace asleep.
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there mid beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago.
But his feet on the hills grew weary.
And one of the autumn ewes,
made for my little brother
A bed of yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
Ny neck in meek embrace,
As the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face.
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep bv the gates of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
That one of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best Of all.

Mastery Inactivity.

From the indications on the political horizon,
1T appears to be reduced to almost certainty
that the Democratic party Cor those who intend
to participate in the campaign) will be compell-
cd to make their election between Grant and
Greeley. This deplorable state of affairs has
resulted from the policy adopted by our self-con-
stituted leaders, and by them styled "masterly
inactivity" They have done full justice to the
inactive part but it is extremely doubtful in re-
gard to its being mastery. If there had been an
active policy adopted we would now have the
inside track and been masters of the situation
l suppose they have carried out their part of the
programme, (the inactive,) and now desire the
rank and file to take the mastery part (thc
active) but it is very probable the rank and file
or at least large number of them will continue
through the campaign to carry out to the latter
the policy so highly recommended by their as
tute leaders-masterly inactivity. If the Demo-
gether to secure place or accumulate plumber,
they might be driven or called like well broken
pack of hounds by the sound of the bugle; but
such is not the fact, they are organized and held
together by certain fixed principles, and therefore
q positive and not negative party; and when
those who profess to lead the party undertake
to part from those principles dissolution will fol-
low, because those principles form the ground
work, or superstructurc upon which the organi-
cation is based. The result therefore is OBJ
vious when their principles have been annulled
by recommending for their support candi-
date Numerically opposed to them, that rup-
ture will take place, and each member of the
party will consider himseffree to act he thinks
proper.
They have always been willing TO make sacri-
fees, and have given as victims some of their
most able leaders for the public good, but they
have never sacrificed principle upon the altar OF

of the people of the United States will best

resentatives of the democracy of the whole
country, to take such action as will prove
likely to insure perfect union of all elements
of opposition to the nominees of the Phila.
delphia convention; and the democrats of
Kentucky unhesitatingly pledge themselves
to give to the ticket that may be presented
to the country by the Baltimore Convention
an earnest and active support, not only be-
cause it will be the representative body OF
the whole party, but because in the party Or

The Kentucky Democracy.

The following resolutions were Unanimous
ly adopted by the Democratic State Conven-
ton of Kentucky, which assembled at Frank
fort on the Goth June. They reaffirm the pre-
vious declaration of principles contained in
the platform adopted by the convention of
1868, which was in eonsonance with the Vir-
ginia and Kentucky resolutions of 9S and 80,
and which constitute the political creed of
every trne Democratic Republican, as to the
powers of the Federal Government and the
rights of the States:
Res0toed, That the democracy of the State
OF Kentucky now reaffirm the principles con
tanned in the platforms adopted by former
conventions Of the party since and including
inc convention of the first day of May, 1868.
These platforms contain substantially the
theory and practice which we believe, if car
ried out, will secure protection 10 life, liberty
and property, and all the essential ends of

THE LONG BRANCH RACES on Monday
were of very exciting character to lovers OF
the turf. The principal contest was between
the celebrated horses Longfellow and Harry
Bassett-a dash of two and a-half miles.
The following is Il description of the race:
But little difficulty was experienced in eff
fecting a start, and the horses got away to-
gether, Bassett having the inside track. For
the first half mile they ran head and head,
the only advantage, if any, being in favor of
Bassett. AS the horses, warming into their
stride, passed the grand stand, the excite
ment rose to fever pitch. The first mile and
half found their positions unchanged, but
the hackers of Bassett evidently had misgiv-
ings, as their favorite was doing his best,
while it seemed Longfellow was still being
held in by his rider. Their fears were CON
tirmed when the horses swept past the grand
stand the second time. Longfellow's rider
gave head to his horse, who calamity re-
spondcd, and quickly placed two lengths be-
himself and Bassett.
The scene was Undesirable. Men threw
their hats in the air and cheered wildly;
while ladies waved handkerchiefs and bet
countless pairs of gloves on John Harper's
steed, From this moment it was evident all
was up with Bassett, and although his rider
used whip and spur without stint, it was of
no avail. Every moment Longfellow in
creased his lead, and landed an easy winner in
4.34, or, as. some of the judges claim, in 4.33
Bassett was beaten over u dozen lengths

TUE ALDINE.-What The Gruphic is
among English magazines Tile Aldine is
among American magazines, the difference
in point of artistic excellence being generally
in favor of THE Aldine. 1t is certainly so in
the July number of the latter, the Illustrations
of which are of more varied character than
any hitherto published. The full page front

while her brother looks on admiringly, with

what he can do. Facing this is King Wit
