THE Cincinnati Gazette, Grant or
gan, is not overstocked with conf
dence in Pennsylvania Radicals or
Horace Maynard either. 1t says in its
issue of May lS:
" From the capital comes the an
nouncement that Pennsylvanians think
they must have the Vice. Presidency,
in order to carry the State for the Re-
publican ticket. And of course it
must be some man whose idea of pro-
lection to Pennsylvania is 500 a ton
tax on imported pig iron. Has not
the Republican party got about as
much Of that load as it can safely
carry. To us it looks as the only seri-
Gus Republican disafection was be-
cause of these tax robberies. From
Tennessee also comes feeble cry for
Horace Maynard for Vice-P President.
1t would be much better to take Penn
sylvania Kelley himself; for the ex-
tent of Maynard's craftsmanship is a
parrot repetition of Kelley's plunder
platitudes, without even the poor ex-
cuse of local monopolies that Kelley
has"

TOO LATE.

TOO late, too late, was never said
OF morning sun, or bud or flower
The light Is true to hill and glade,
The rosebud opens to the hour:
The lark nc'er asks the day 10 wait,
But man awakcs too late, too late!
Too late, too late, our anger burns
The sun goes down before the flame
To gentle words of kindness turns,
And we are scourged with inward shame
To think our breasts have harbored hate,
And pride bows down too late, too late
Too late, too late. for public prayer,
The words of worship have begun
Our cheeks are flushed with hastening there
We enter as the chant Is done,
And pushing at the temple gate,
We stand and say, "too late, too late!"
"Too, too late" who has not said
The post Is out the train has gone
The time Is flsd--the debt not paid
The aid not sought--thc work not done;
Neglect makes up lifc's weary freight.
And then we cry, too late, too late! !"

The Liberal Movement I'm PennsyI-
Yanin.

A prominent business man in Wes-
tern Pennsylvania writes to his mem
ber of Congress that he has taken con
siderable pains to inform himself as
to the opinion upon the nominations,
and that he has not met single Dem
ocrat who does not favor the indorse-
ment of Greeley by the Baltimore
Convention. This is the almost unan-
imous report which comes from all
parts of Pennsylvania in letters re-
ccived here, and there seems to be lit
tie question that the State Convention
to be held at Reading on the Both will
follow the example Of New York, and
send delegates to Baltimore who will
be earnestly in favor of the nomina-
tion of Greeley and Brown. The Ad-
ministration Congressman from Penn
sylvania are greatly alarmed at the
spread of the Liberal movement; most
of their districts are quite close, and
the prospects for their return to the
next Congress look very dismal at
present.

Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, in his speech
opening the Democratic Convention of
the State of New York on the 18th,
spoke the following sensible words:
II believe that the 100000 Of Dem

an organization unbroken, go with
their ranks united, and whatever they
decide to do, they will give victory to
whatever cause and to whatever can

favor Of ] do not think that your
great and noble traditions are to be
surrendered or broken down; but |
suppose that you will act as wise men,
and practical men, and all avail your
selves of the best opportunity that ex-
lists to work out for your cause what is
possible; and believing in God, and
believing in the destiny of your coun-
try. you will go forward fearlessly to
to the achievement of the great OBJ
iccts to which you have been devoted
from the very foundation of the Gov
ernment" Applause

A Bold Administration Scheme.

The St. Louis Republican states
that it has reliable advices from Wash
ington of bold scheme mcditated by
the Administration party to secure the
reelection of Grant. The plan as
stated is, that a number of influential
Southern men have been invited to
Washington without being informed
what they were to come for, and some
of these gentlemen are now in that
city, to whom a proposition has been
made that if they will send delegates
from the Southern States to Balti-
more, instructed to demand Demo
cratic nomonation from the Baltimore
Convention, and, in case it refuses to
take that step and make a nomination,
the Administration party will pass the
bill to refund the cotton tax, grant aid
to the Atlantic and Great Western
Canal of Georgia, and grant aid and
subsidies to other Southern enterprises
and schemes. The Republican fur
ther says it is stated that one or two
Southern men interested in the above
enterprises favor the proposition, but
that generally they reject it,

THE FAITHFUL smEpHERD.BOY

Gerhardt was German shepherd
boy; and noble fellow he was too,
although he was very, very poor.
One day, as he was watching his
flock, which was feeding in valley on
the borders of forest, hunter came
out of the woods and asked
" How far is tito the nearest village?'
Six miles, sir, replied the boy
but the road is only sheep track,
and very easily missed" !"
The hunter glanced at the crooked
track, and then said
" My lad, | am hungry, tired, and
thirsty. / have lost my companions,
and missed my way. Leave your s'eep,
and show me the road | will pay you
we'll"
Il cannot leave my sheep, sir" re-
Joined Gerhardt They would stray
into the forest, and be eaten by wolves,
or stolen by robbers" "
" Well, what of that ?" enquired the
hunter. They are not your sheep.
The loss of one or more wouldn't be
much to your master; and I'll give
you more money than you ever earned
III WhOle year.
Il cannot 60, SIR" reioined Ger
hardt very firmly. My master pays
me for my time, and he trusts me with
his sheep. If | were to sell you my
time, which does not belong TO me,
and the sheep should get lost, it would
be just the same as if | stole them"
well, said the hunter, will you
trust your sheep with me while you &c
to the village and get me some food
and drink and a guide? :? Twill take good
care of them for you"
The boy shook his head. "The
sheep" said he, do not know your
voice, and "-Gerhardt stopped speak.
ing.
And what? Can't you trust me
Do / look like dishonest man?' ask
ed the hunter angrily.
Sir" said the boy slowly, "you
tried to make me false to my trust, ano
wanted me to break my word to my
master. How do [ know you would
keep your word to me?"
The hunter laughed; for he felt that
the boy had fairly cornered him. He
said, " see, my lad, thatyou are a good
faithful boy. | will not forget you
Show me the road, and | will try to
make it out for myself"
Gerhardt now offered the humble
contents Of his scrip to the hungry
man, who, coarse as they were, ate them
gladly. Presently his attendants came
up; and then Gerhardt, to his surprise
found that the hunter was the grand
duke, who owned all the country round
The duke was so pleased with the
boys honesty, that he sent for him
shortly after, and had him educa-
ted. In atter-years, Gcrhardt Le-
came very rich and powerful man
but he remained honest and true to his
dying day.
Honesty, truth and fidelity, are
precious jewels in the character of q
child. When they spring from piety
they are pure diamonds, and make
their possessor very beautiful, very
useful. May you, my readers wear
them as Gerhardt did Then great
er than a duke will befriend you
for the great King will adopt you as
his children, and you will become
princes and princesses royal in the
kingdom Of God.-Er.
