October,


Oetober's solemn, dirge like winds
Are wailing through the trees;
At every breath some bright leaf falls,
Borne far upon the breeze.
Upon the cold, damp earth;
But though October's dress be gay,
She breathas no sound of mirth.
Her voice is sad, like wind-harp's notes;
But her skies are deeply blue
Her robe a queen might proudly wear,
So rich her golden hue.
love the fair October days
The blue and sunny skies
The forest robe her hand hath woye,
OF richly-tinted dyes.
But oh dread Novcmber's frosts
November's weeping skies;
The stormy winds that then will drown
Cctobcr's latest sighs.
But, though tremble at her breath,
And fear her wint'ry reign,
know tho days will quickly pass,
And spring will smile again.
And thus, as seasons glide away,
The page OF life:we turn,
.a And if our hearts but own the wish,
Some lesson daily learn.
For we, like autumn flowers, must fade,
Like autumn flowers must die,
Ere through the chosrless gate OF death
Our spirits soar on high.
And though the grave be cold and drcar,
And narrow be the bed,
We have no cause 20 fuint or fear,
For blessed are the dend."

that it was the people who demand
ed the denomination of President
Grant. He was put forward against
his will, because the people insist
ed upon re-electing their favorite
and hero. His nomination at Phil
adelphia was the peoples act. No
other candidate would have been
tolerated for moment. Since his
namination the people have taken
the matter of his reelection up
into their hands, and are showing
their gratitude and enthusiasm for
the great general and successful
President by the way they rally to
his standard. TO read the Admin
istration papers and listen to its
speakers, it would seem that the
people of the United States were
everywhere united and enthusiastic
i'll their admiration for prnsi-
dent Grant and vociferous in their
demand for recollection; while a few
disappointed and soured politicians
had conspired together for his de-
feat, and were trying to disafTect
tho masses Of our citizens and with
draw them from his support.
1t is worth the while sometimes
to hold general statement up in
the light and sec what it is made
of, and how its component threads
hang together and stand the pull
of facts. This matter Of popular
enthusiasm amounts to nothing in
and of itself. The real question is
not whether mojority of the pco-
pie want President Grant re-elect-
ed, but whether they ought to want
him reelected. Does he deserve
recollection Will the interests of
the nation be promoted by giving
him another term (! Does Grantism
realize the highest ideal of Amcri-
can craftsmanship? These ques-
tions, not whether he is popular
with the masses and viii get their
votes, are the questions it is i'm
portant to answer. Tell us that
i
Maine and Vermont have thrown
their votes for Grant governors I.
So did France throw her vote for
Louis Napoleon. And who shall
say that the people of Maine and
Vermont are not as mistaken in
their allegiance rs the people of
France were in their fatal plebis-
cite 1t is not what people clamor
for, but what they ought to demand,
what the good of the country re-
quires, that it really concerns us to
know. We opposed the reelection
Of Grant almost single-handed at
the start, in the face of public in
difference if not of public satisfac-
ton, because convinced that he
ought not to be reelected, that an
other four years of his rule would
be national calamity 1t is not
the popularity Of position that we
are concerned with, but its sound
ness. The question for every
American citizen to-day is not what
popular, but what is true. We are
not trying to count noses but to
learn facts, and weigh arguments,
and see what tho interests of the
country and race require. And the
man who would not vote alone, II
need he, in Guidance to his convic-
tions of duty lacks the principle,
the stamina, and the manlincss
American citizenship require.
But how is it with this constant
ly reiterated statement, that the
people everywhere are clamorous
and enthusiastic for President
Grants reelection : IL this had
been the case, why was Unnecessary
for his friends and favorites TO con-

FiSk'S First Mistake.

Fisk used to tell about his first mistake
in life.
"Said the Colonel, "Whcn I was q lit
tie boy on the Vermont farm, my father
took me up to the stable one day, where q
row OF COWS stood in the stable"
Said he, "James, the stable window is
pretty high for boy, but do you think
you could take this shovel and clean the
stable?"
81 don't know, Pop" said James, al
never have done it."
swell, my boy, if you will do it this
morning III give you bright silver dol
lar" said his father, patting him on his
head, while he held the silver dollar be-
fore his eyes.
Good" says James. "I'll try-and
away he went to work" He tugged, and
pulled, and lifted, and pulled; and finally,
it was done, and his father gave HIM the
bright silver dollar saying
"That's right, James; you did it splen-
didly, and now l find you can do it so
nicely, shall have you do it every morn
ing all winter ~

Babies in China.

james Brooks writes from Pekin as fol-
lows: One of the first things impressing a
traveller in China is the babies. Nautilus,
evidently, is not read here, or the New
England native propagation creed. "Mul-
tiply and replenish the EARTH" in our BIZ
BILE, is in the Confucion classics, in another
paraphrase "Beget children, to he sure of
having your bones we'll taken off," THE
more sons you have the better off you are
in heaven" Girl babies, alas for the poor
things! are deemed curses rather than
blessings, more especially if you have too
many of them-such curses that often the
poor little lasses are tumbled away to per-
ish-boy babies never. All the junks we
passed or saw, were more or less filled with
babies-naked babies, mixed up with the
cocks, and hens, and dogs, and kittens.
Fathers were as often fondling them as the
mothers. This love of babies it is that
makes up the Chinese countless numbers,
ever populating the land, and forcing the
poor often to starve, or to live on kitten
outlets and puppy steaks. What we saw
people eating most of, during our boat
Journey, was watermelons-pretty good
ones-a species of cantelopes, that they
nibble as monkeys would then peaches
that nobody else could eat, they are so bad
with onions, onions, onions innumerabe
Indeed, the whole population hereabouts
seems saturated with onions and opium.

The New Departure.

Gen. Frank Blair, in his speech before
the Missouri Legislature says:
What was the new departure policy I?
Why, if it meant anything, it meant acqui-
escence in all the usurpations of the Rad
ical party since it has come in power.
think if we should hold Democratic Ma
tional Convention to nominate candidate
for President, and those States should still
be in favor of the new departure policy, the
Democrats of New England and Democrats
of other States should be found in favor of
that policy, it is very probable we should
be saddled with this new departure plat
form in great presidential campaign.
Now, if the new departure simply means
that we recognize what has been done as
having been done, why suppose every man
of common sense would concede that; but
if it means that having been done, no mat
ter by what means, it would therefore stand
unquestioned and approved by the Demo-
cratic party, tell you, you would find
many Democrats in this country who would
not concede that under any condition.
For my part, l left the Republican par
ty because of its usurpations left it be-
cause it asserted power when at the head of
the Government and controlling the Gov
eminent which did not belong to the Gov
eminent, and l never will say that these
usurpations were right. Applause. new
er will say it, for | do not believe they were
right My honest convictions condemn
them as the seeds which will yet destroy
our Republic unless dug up and extirpa-
ted from our soil. | do not acquiesce in
them; they were naked usurpations with
out justification of any kind, and l do not
acquiesce in them, and never have, and
never will to obtain Office OF to keep office.
believe that these amendments were pass
ed by fraud-that is the word for it-by
coercion. Three States were told that they
should not be States unless they adopted
it; other States were welded by mob OF
negroes who never had right to vote ex-
cept by act of Congress, and when the white
people in these States were DISTINGUISHED by
act of Congress which had no right to dis
franchise them.
The State of Missouri voted by an over
whelming majority, Notwithstanding one
third of the people were DISTINGUISHED, a.
gainst the amendment; yet it was adopted
here, and voted for by the members from
Missouri in the House in violation of the
known will of the people of the State. ]
do not believe that the people of single
State outside New England ever gave theil
consent to that amendment, yet it was adop.
ted as part of the Constitution by such
means as have described, and am asked
to take new departure, and not only &C
quiescc but to sanction these things l pro
test against it as naked fraud. 1t is not
the less fraud because it is a successful
fraud and we are unable to get rid of it.
