THE BELL AND HAMMER
But even il they had made Tom turnpike

the Bell and Hammer, April saw the early flowers

them as they vet their feet, digging
holes in the sand for them, and send
ing the bigger boy to run and put salt upon the
tails OF the peeps as they along the shore.
And Tom Cults, when his glass Was clean to his
mind, and the redectors polished to meet even
his criticism, would come down and hunt up
Laura and the children. And, when she had put

the days wero the happiest days OF her married
life and brought back the old sunny days OF the
times before Fort Sumter again. Ah, me! 1t such
days OF summer and such days of autumn would

But they will not last forever. November

Down the dim, voiceless vaney-LousI
And hear not the fall Of footstep

And the hush Of my heart Is as holy
As hovers where Angels have hown.

I craved what the world never gave;
And aaid : "1u the world, each Idea,
That shines Like star Oh LIES wave,
Is toned on the shores Of the Real,
And Bleeps like dream in grave"
And still did pine for the Perfect,
And still found the False with the True :
Isought mid the Human for Heaven,
But caught mere gimpse Of ITS b!ue;
And wept when the clouds OF the MozsA

And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
And I have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And have seen thoughts in the Valley
An, me: how my spirit was stirred!
And they wear holy yeils on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass through the Valley, ike Sirtil9
Too pure for the touch of word.

The Commercial, OF Tuesday afternoon, takes
up Dearly a column IN pr1sey criticism Of Sena-

political record receives attention. The organ 0,
the Custom House is greatly annoyed at compll-
mentary notice OF Mr. BAYARD by the New York

Monday. 1t certainly Was sufficient to wound
the feelings of that paper to witness much SAID
to the honor of a Delawarean. Bot We are
pleased 10 know that this Is not the with all
the newspapers in Delaware.
It would afford US pleasure to witness 50 much
aid in praise of gentlemen of our State OIL the
other side Of politics. And it will be remembered
that when Judge Bradford, who was the leader Of
the Republican party in the State, was honored
by his appointment, the GAZETTE expressed very
emphatically its qualification thereat, and Its
tice was copied in several OF the adjoining States
It is in vain, however, for the Con,eretOI to at
tempt to detract from the personal character OF
Ar. Bayard. 1t has certainly n right to consider
him, a. it says, no "more than ordinary man"
But there are others who think this "ordlnary
man" 10 Of conseq quence to the Nation rs well
