THE DEAR OLD HOME.
BIT NAY RILEY SIXTH.

I've come TO the dear old threshold
With eager, hurrying feet,
To scent the odorous lilies
That once were so white aud sweet
To taste Of the apricots mellow
That crimson the garden wall
To set my teeth in the pippins
That down In the orchard fall
To quafr the honied nectar
From the well so deep and cool
To dip my feet, like the children,
In the little meadow pool;
Aud thought, as snuffed the clover,
And merrily logged along,
"'Tis sweet to be going thither,
To the tune Of the robins song |"
passed By the uncut hedges,
And up through the thistled walk,
And beside the fall OF my footsteps
There was only the cricket's talk.
The weeds grew high In the arbor,
And the nettles rank and tall
Had throttled the sweet-breathed lilies
That leant on the lattice wall.
The little white house Is empty,
Its ceilings are cobwebbed Ger;
And the dust aud mold are lying
Thick on the trackless floor;
There are no prints 10 the doorway,
No garments hung In the halt;
And the ghosts Of death and silence
Sit and gloat DER 1t all
No dimpled faces Of children
Frightened the window pane;
Never a voice Of laughter
Rppled along the lane;
SO | turned through the daisies yellow,
That nodded 10 see me pass

the tide of public favor improve they
become jubilant and see a brighter
hope of winning. the next fight and
recovering their long lost power; a
thrill of joy passes through the entire
party, and their old energy begins to
revive. Suddenly the President who
has been a silent locker on oil this
while, committing himself ne ither to
one side or the other, studying, how
ever, most carefully the course of
events, reaches forth his hand, covers
that particular point, and takes to
himself all the political capital the
Democrats have been so industriously
making. This has happened over
and over again. But take one Of the
most notorious instances-the Civil
Service bill. On this point he SEEM
ed committed and especially vulnera-
! BILE, he had appointed relatives innum-
cradle to office; his hopes of renon-
inatfon largely hinged upon his pow
er to control the office-holders; his
enemies appeared to have him at a
disadvantage; they were pressing the
case against him vigorously, although
permanency in office was never doc
:trine of the Democrats, who, on the
other hand demand rotation. But
what does Grant do ? Quietly, and all
by himself, he adopts system ofciv
il service reform, which, while it sat-
isfies the people and seems to comply
with their wishes, virtually retains
power in the Presidents hands pre-
cisely as it always existed.

The impeachment of Harrison
Reed, Governor OF Florida, is an
event for which. the tax-burdened
citizens of that State may be thank
full. Mr.. Reed is gentleman, who,
whatever his original intentions, has
fallen into evil company and bad
ways. Under his regime, the taxes of
the State have been enormous, the
legislation has been scandalous, the
public credit has been substantially
ruined. and the Treasury has beeh
literally emptied, SO that at last ac-
connts the Controller did not COM
mand public funds sufficient. to pur;

stitution of the State imposes very ex-
tensive power on the Governor, it is
a matter of congratulation that he is
to be called to account.-N. Y. Times.

Hold Fast to Integrity.
From the Bcuyruy Forum.l

There are some well meaning Dem
ocrats, who, honest enough in their
intentions perhapse, are advising the
party to abandon its name, principles
and former heritage of glory and afr
filiate or coalesce with the solcalled
Liberal Republican party. This IS
dangerous in the extreme not only to
the party, but the best interests of
the country. The Democracy may
unite with them, for certain purposes,
but never by forswearing their name
or principles. Let this be well uni
derstood in the onset. If the Lib
eral Republican party with its frag-
mentary. disiointed forces anticipates
appropriating the entire Democratic
organization to itself, the Democra-
cy desire to be advised of the fact.
That is all. Our organization will
retain its individuality, and maintain
its integrity under any and all cir
cumstnces, and at every hazard.

The N. Y. Democrat, speaking of
the scene of tumult and disorder in
the Ohio State Senate, with reference
to the Kemp-Sayler case, discourses
as follows
''In the State Senate of Ohio oc-
currences took place on Friday last
that give evidence political rowdyism
must have about reached the height
of its development in that State. This
gives hopes that matters will improve
for in the order of events every evil
has it's climax, and when this has been
reached reaction takes place.
The question the senatorial 'honora.
bles, in Columbus were called upon
to decide was as to the right to
vote in his own case, and the main
object of attack of the Democratic
rowdies was the President of the
Senate, the German Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Mueller, whose duty it was to
maintain the rules of order. The
Democrats hurled the lowest words
OF abuse and cures at the presiding Of
ficer, the greatest tumult, cursing and
swearing and yelling resounded
through the hall of the worthy law
makers a number of them left the
hall uttering words of abuse. The
Sergeant at Arms, vino was about to
arrest one of the tumultuous Demo-
cratic speakers (Schiff), was preven-
ted from doing. so, and the session
broke up in row.
= "What influence such scenes must
have to inspire the people with re-
gard for their legislators, and conse-
quently for the laws enacted by them
it is not necessary to state. But then
such scenes are necessary in order to
fasten the conviction upon the better
elements of the people that just so
long as they will consent to have
their lawmakers selected from the
lowest and most corrupt classes OF
the population, better condition OF
things will be looked for in vain. The
roWdy element, without doubt, is in
Ohio, as everywhere else, but small
minority of the people to assume the
contrary would be to declare our
democratic institutions a failure for
purposes Of civilization, and it would
be time to throw them overheard
But the majority, by its lack of inter
est in public affairs and desire for
ease, have suffered this element to
get tue upper hand; and it is high
time to make vigorous efforts to put
them down again."
