All things for thine, for thee aloNe, .s

From other loves, and other lanfls,
As true. peghaps, as strong of hands.
Have mot turned to thee and thine,

Have n.t sung thy splendid skies.
Till Europe lifted up her face
And maryeled at thy matchless grace,
With eager and inquiring eyesa
Be my reward some little place
TO pitch my tent some tree and vine,
Where may sit above the sea.
And drink the sun as drinking wine,
And dream and sing some songs OF. thee;
Yea, days to climb to Shasta's doIae
Again, and be with gods at home,
And breathe their breatlln the mountain ii

Where sweeps the Oregon, ard where
White storms are in the feathe ed fir, @
And snowy sea-birds wheel and whir.

Changing the Subject.

An attentive little pitcher I" had heard
her father instruct older brothers and sis
ters that when, in the course of converse
ton, a subject came up that seemed to be
disagreeable to any one present, etiquette
demanded that it should be changed as
quickly as possible. Some days after, her
father said to her, as he left the house:
Mary, papa wants you to be very care
full if you play in the garden to-day, not
to touch the hyacinths. Will you remem-
Der? .... g.
OF course she would, but on papa's re-
turn in the evening he found his hyacinths
picked and the marks of little feet in the
garden bed.
Calling Mary up to him, he looked very
grave and said: .#
"My dear, you remember that told you
particularly not not to touch the hyacinths,
and now find them picked, and no one
has been in the garden but you. How is
this ~
Mary laughed and said:
"Oh, papa, it was splendid in the gar
den to-day l saw a beautiful little
birds nest, and there was great big but
terfly--n
Wait, wait, my child. / am talk
ing to you about something else now. Do
you not understand me? J. am very Sc
riously displeased with you. 1 told you
not to touch the hyacintbs, and now j
find them picked and your footprints all
about"
"Oh, yes, papa, I did have the loveliest
timein the garden to-day. Don't you think
it was beautiful day."
Mary, how dare you answer me SC
impertinently I am talking to you
about your disobedience. Why do you
not attend to me? / shall have to make
YOU"
Rather sobered at this suggestion, little
pitchers" countenance fell and she faltered
out:
Why, papa, you said that when sub
ject became unpleasant to any one, the only
| way was to change it." Papa saw the point
| and the unpleasant subject was dropped fol
| that time. $40.

As a specimen of the way Greeley
ism is working among the workingmen
letter from Cincinnati relates that n
prominent manufacturer of that city,
going to the Liberal mass meeting
there the other night, was surprised
to meet his foreman there. why,
W" said he how is this2 What
brings you here tonight? You are
not turned Libcral?" well, now
see here" was the response; suppose
you make some inquiry among the men
in the factory--you'll find Of eighty
eight men there are 30. FIVE who will
vote for Grant, and all of them did in
1868" The printers in one of the
newspaper Offices of the same city were
polled, and it was found that all but
five voted for Grant in 1868, while now
they stood 40 for Greeley and 6 for
Grant In an iron warehouse there,
also, all of the q voters employed in
the building were for Greeley. His
cause appeals to the hearts of the peo-
pie and the good sense of every prae-
teal candid mind, and is thus winning
its silent victories everywhere Union
and American.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

A Pennsylvania paper thinks that
the General who now occupies the
White House when he is at home,
will next Notember be reduced to the
rank of "left-tenant."
The Bennington Free Press, one of
the ablest newspapers in Vermont,
which prior to the Baltimore Conven-
ton supported Grant and Wilson, de-
clares in favor Of Greeley and Brown.
The Grand Haven (Mich.) Union, a
Republican paper these ten years, has
substituted the Greeley for the Grant
ticket, and urges the people of Michi-
gan to give Greeley their electoral vote.
Morton, in his speeches in Indiana,
is trying to make the people believe
that the war is still raging and that
Hendricks is in favor of the rebels.
Old Moxey is certainly the biggest fool
Bull-pup out.
1t is proposed to ELL up" that
"chasm" which Secretary Boutwell, OBJ
jects to clasping hands across, by
dumping into it the present admins
tration. The people have taken the
contract, and it will be performed in
November.
Among the ardent supporters of
Grant in North Carolina is one Estes,
who was formerly Collector of the
Third District of Pennsylvania, po-
sition which he left with the unliquid
ated balance Of 81 600 in his accounts.

GENEVA, July 29.-The Swiss Times
confirms the report now current that
the tribunal of arbitration has decided
in favor of America in the case of the
privateer Florida, on the ground that
the British Government did not use
sufficient precautions to prevent the
departure of that vessel from English
ports. The Times also says, the Board
of Arbitration took up the case of the
Alabama. 1t further says the Board
has disallowed the claims of the Amer
lean Government arising out of the
depredations Of the Boston, the JEFF
Davis, the Music, and several other
smaller Confederate cruisers. The
reasons are that the charges of negli-
gence on the part Of the British Gov.
eminent concerning these vessels arc
not proved,
