Chunder ALPS Wife.
FROM THE HINDoo Stance.

FROM THE DoosTANEE.
1 AM poor said Chunder Ali, while the Manda-
rim above him
:" am friendless and Hindoo: such a one meets
few to love him
Here in China, where tho uirdoo sr5 tt +,,+b
alone is weak
nave naufht to buy your Justice were wise had
Speak your judgement :" and he croesaa bis arr,s
and bent his quivering face
Heard he then the unjust sentence : ali his goods
and gold were given 70'''
To another, and he stood alone, a bernsr in +fa
place.
And the man who bought the judgement looked
with triumph and derision
At the cheated Hindoo merchant; then he rubbed
his hands and smiled -.-A
At the whispered graduation of his friends and at
the vison
At the more than queenly dover for Ahmeer, his
only child
Fair Ahrneer, who of Gods creatures was the only
who loved him,
She, the diamond of his treasures, the only lamb
within his fold,
She whose voice like her dear mothers, was the
only pow'r that loved him
She wonld praise the skill that gained her al this
Hindoos silk and gold.
And the old thanked CONTIGUOUS, and the Judge,
and him who pleaded.
But why falls this sudden silence? why does each
one hold his breath
Every eye turns on the Hindoo, who before all
unheeded,
And in wondering expectation all the court grows
st1l as death.
Not alone stood Chunder Ali; by his side Ahmeer
standing,
And his brown hand rested lightly on her shoulder
as he smiled
At the sweet young face turned toward him. Then
the fathers voice, commanding,
Bade his daughter fiercely to him from the dog
whose touch defiled.
But she moved not and she looked not at her father
the others
As she answered, with her eyes upon the Hindoos
noble face:
Nay, my father, he defles not; this kind arm
above ali others
Is my choosing and forever by his side shall be my
place.
When you knew not his dear hand had given many
a sweet love-token,
He had gathered all my heartstrings and had bound
them round his life;
Yet you tell me he defiles me nay, my father you
have spoken
n your anger aud not knowing was Chunder

Iduice TO MOuId.he Au. hOrS.

A would-be author was advised to
trv the effect of one of his compositions
on the folks at home without confess
ing it authorship. His mother fell
asleep his sister groaned, his brother
told him to hold up as they had had
quite enough of that shower of words
without wit, and at last his wife tapped
him upon the shoulder with the
sweetest possible ''won't that do r. He
then saw how it was himself, buried
his portfolio, recovered his digestion,
and has been a happy man ever
since. What blessed relief to editors
and the rest of mankind would more of
our literary aspirants try this prescrip-
ton.

On the subject of publishing the laws
I can give no more rational or s,tisrac,
tory version than to quote what cer'
tain Democratic editor said yesterday
on the subject. viz: 1.-The few laws
passed of public Importance will be
publish d by all editors who publish a
newspaper for and with view to aid,
enlighten, and benefit the people aud
get to himself gain and good name.
Mr.. Editor you will allow me to say
(and I say it without fear Of contra.
di.tin) that what the Times man does,
says, and writes points every time to
himself and patronage. Petitions for
reforms were called for by the tax-pay-
ers and are being circulated by them,
but their fate with the Times man will
be like that Of the Taxpayers protest. -
The Times man neither seeks or desires
reforms which do reach his pocket.

Mr.. Greeley Oh Conventions
and CauCuseS.

Mr.. Greeley in the Tribune Of the
22nd says:
s'The national Conventions or eau
cuses are simply voluntary assemblages
of the people. They have no legal au-
thority or binding force, and pretend to
none. If you choose to subscribe to the
platform and vote for the candidates, or
any of them, you may. If you perfer-
to support the candidates and spurn the
platform, or to approve generally the
principles avowed, and not vote for the
candidates, that course is open to you.
The nominating Convention at best
puts up guide board whose directions
you are at perfect liberty to consult or
ignore, heed or disregard He conclu-
des by telling people to Hear and
heed all proper suggestions of candi-
dates, and then vote exactly as your
own unfettered Judgment shall die

CREsco, March ?, 1872.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER 1T sounds
well to enlightened and honest men to
have the professed organ Of the Repub-
lican party lecture the Legislature now
in session, but the readers Of the Times
would not lecture them on the same
subject the Times man does, for they
believe it an unwise and needless ex-
pense to publish the laws because not
10 laws enacted are Of any public i'm
portance whatever and if published
would not be read by one man in a
hundred. The comments of the Times
man, as usual, are the fruits of cold
selishness, fearing loss of patronage to
his paper and willing to have the now
over-taxed Taxpayers be taxed 5000
to 500 for publishing local laws of no
practical Importance whatever. The
Times mans fault finding comes with
i'll grace from the editor of newspaper
the columns Of which are sealed against
any and all suggestions of needed re-
forms in the modes Of doing the town
and county business and reducing the
number of officers, and the pressing
need for return of the business now
concentrated at the county seats to the
towns.

notoriety viz: That certain county
official has dlrring four years set in hi.

The Good Time Coming.
This is not very long poem, bu
there is great deal in it:
"When men forget their love of gold,
And love their homer more;
When truth is only current coin,
And counted DER and DER;
When men love freedom for it's sake
For all as we'll as one
And for the greatest good their work,
From day to day, is done;
When men throw self aside and live
For some just purpose high,
Then will the glorious era come
When IL one shall fear to die.''

Remember Thy Mother.

Lead thy mother tenderly
Down life's steep declise
Once her arm was thy support.
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines of care:
Think-it was her toll for thee
Left that record there.
Meier forget her tireless watch
Kept by day and night,
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eye the light.
Cherish we'll her faithful heart
Which, through weary years,
Echoed with its sympathy
All thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thv mothers love,
Guard the priceless boon;
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
When the grateful tenderness
Loses power. to save,
Earth will hold no dearer spot
Than thy mothers grave!

President Grant may be unable to rem
edy the evils in Louisiana. The War
mouth party has been beaten, and so far
as the deposed Governor is concerned his
tate will excite no sympathy except as he
represents the outraged sovereignty of
the State. But the President must now
see clearly that the rights and interests of
the white citizens Of the South are made
the prcy-of an INSCRIPTIONS set OF poiti-
cal adventures, and that the Enforcement
act, instead of being simply protection
to the negroes, is used by designing men
to destroy the last vestige OF liberty in
that unhappy section OF the Union. AS
the President received generous support
from the Southern people he is bound TO
protect their interests, and in SO doing he
will advance his own. In the war his
policy was shrewdly taken. He risked no
battles until prepared to strike an effective
blow. He drew his lines steadily and
carefully round the struggling Confeder-
ates, and when they were fairly in the tolls
dealt blow after blow until their power
was utterly destroyed. He seems dispos-
ed to apply similar tactics to the foreign
policy OF his administration. For four
years he has been quietly measuring his
ground, and having settled amicably all
our differences with England he now
launches out in warlike preparations. If
the building of ships OF war foreshadows
a decisive movement for the freedom Of
Cuba the people will rejoice as heartily as
when Lee surrendered and Richmond fell
But no act of President Grants eventfu
life will win him greater credit and re-
nown than the disenthralment of the
Southern States. 1t is in his power to
restore freedom and happiness to n large
section OF our own country. He has
already prepared the way by denouncing
the acts of the politicians engaged in the
'miserable scramble for Office at the
South, and be depreciation of the enforce
ment act as an extreme and undesirable
law. Now let him deal such final,
sturdy blow at carpet bag policy as he
dealt at the Contederacy and he will win
for himself Il lasting tame second only 10
hat OF the Father of his Country.
