A Valuable Horse.

A Kentuckian and a Yankee were
once riding through the woods, the for
mer on a fine black horse, and the Yam
kee on an inferior animal. The latter
wanted to make "swap," but he did
not see how he was to do it. At last he
thought of plan. His horse had been
taught to sit down like dog whenever
he was touched by the spurs. Seeing a
wild turkey, the Yankee made his horse
perform his trick, and asserted that he
was pointing game, as was his custom.
The Kentuckian rode in the direction in
dicated by the horses nose, and up rose
turkey.
That settled the matter; the trade was
made, and saddles and horses were
changed. After time they came to a
deep and rapid stream, over which the
black horse, carried his rider with ease.
But the Kentuckian, on the Yankees
old beast, found great difficulty in get
ting over, and when he had reached the
middle of the stream he was afraid the
horse would allow himself to be carried
away, and so endeavored to spur him up
to more vigorous action. Down sat the
old horse on his launches.
"LoOk heren' shouted the enraged
and partially submerged Kentuckian to
the Yankee on the other side of the
stream, "what does all this mean?"
81 want to know, stranger" cried the
Yankee, preparing to ride away, "that
there hoss will pint fish just as well as
he will fowl" .-.

And still go marching on q

There is nothing like tanner when he knows
what he's about.
And such a one is U. S. Grant-he's proved it
'yond doubt,
For he tanned old Buckner's hide, and now
he'll tan poor Greeley's coat,
And still go marching on.
CHoRUs-Glory, glory hallelujah. etc.
Alas for Horace Greeley he is filed with NOR
tai pain;
He is sick with too much chopin, and he's
got it on the brain;
His Chappaquackery has struck very fatal
vein,
While Grant goes marching on.
CHoRUs-Glory, glory hallelujah. etc.
Then let us join in chorus, in one good. heroic
chant,
Till we deafen every Chappaquack, and drown
his ribald rant,
In the songs of jubilee we raise to re elected
Grant,
Who still goes marching on.
CHORUS GLORY, glory hallelujah, etc.

THINGS THAT NEVER .DIR.

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulse of u wordiess prayer,
The dream OF love and truth;
The longings after something lost;
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
brother in his need;
The kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves the friend indeed;
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh;
The sorrows of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand.
The pressure of a kiss,
The kindly word in griei's dark hour,
That make up loves first bliss
If with firm unchanging faith,
And holy trust on high,
These hands have clasped, those lips have me
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want of sympathy,
We feel, but cannot tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept;
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose nota chance to waken love, s,F
Be firm, and just. and true;
So shall u light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high;
And angel voices say to thee,
These things shall never die.

Duty is the salt of life. The sense Of
duty is as necessary stimnlant to the
health and enjoyment Of onr spiritual
being as salt is to give flavor to the

purposes to attain.

DAY.BREAE.

We are waiting for the clouds to break,
We are watching for the dawn;
For the first faint flush of the rosy light
For the first soft flood OF the sunbeams bright
For the sweet long-tarrying morn.
There are shadows now on heath and hill,
And the drifting clouds look gray;
And the stars still linger, and still the CLEAN
OF the moonlight silyers the meadow stream,
As it glides along its way.
There will soon be slender lines of gold,
In the dim, dark eastern sky;
And above the mountain a crimson streak
And purple tint on each pine-crowned peak
That will bid the night-gloom fly.
Then the moons fair rays will all grow pale,
And the star-gleams fade away;
And the cold, calm heavens be blue and bright
And the clouds be crested and fringed with
With the tender light of day.
And the stream will shine among the reeds.
And the lillies by the lake
Will unfold their buds, while the wood birds
sing,
Till the copse, and forest, and valleys ring.
And the mountain echoes wake.
There is nothing half so fair on earth
As the first bright blush Of dawn, G
When the shadows die in q food of light,
And the clonds and darkness are put to flight
BY the sunbeam hosts Of morn.
But the glory soon grows faint and dim.
And the crimson hushes fade;
ANA we turn away from the east and sigh
For perfect dawn that will never die,
For day that hath no shade. ,t t4t

sary to be said. lie is an old citizen
of Andrew county, having been in
business and practiced his profession
here for many years. He is largely
identified with the business interests
Of our county, and his wide acquain-
lance among the people is a guaran-
tee that their interests will be UNDER
stood and promptly cared for by prop-
er legislation ut Jefferson City. OF
his opponent little is known. A few
years ago he stopped at the thriving
village of Bolckow and opened a lit.
tie store. Not prospecting to the ex.
tent desirable, we understand its
owner at one time contemplated sell
ing out and removing to parts I'M
known, and probably would have
done SO but for the alluring prospec,
of running for the Legislature and
filling his pockets from the State
Treasury by way Of mileage and pei
diem allowed by o Liberal" Legis'
lature. Where he will go, after
his defeat for the Legislature, is un
known.

The Carpet Bag Fallacy.

1t is astonishing how easily the
Democratic masses are befoOlcd by
demagogues like Cfrl Schurz and
Frank Blair. These WORTHLESS keep
repeating that the carpet-baggers are
eating out the substance ofthe South,
aud that the only salvation for the
unfortunate States is the election of
Horace Greeley. The inference Is
that General Grant is responsible for
the misconduct Of Southern officials,
and that as sOon as Greeley is in
stalled as President, all predatory
carpet-baggers will be put to fight.
Greeley himself stopped to the same
miserable clap trap in his speech at
Portland, but did not state how he ex-
pected 10 accomplish the expulsion Of
officers elected by the people Of the
several States.
In m of his recent speeches Colo
mel Mosby explained the carpet-bag
question very clearly. He said that
in the Southern States, As elsewhere.
tho State officers who are denounced
as carpet -baggers r voluntarily
elected by the people, and TINT Gen
eral Grant has no more to do with
their elevation than Jefferson Davis.
A majority of the citizens Of the suf-
fcring States have elected them under
their State laws, and they alone are
responsible. General Grant could no
more interfere to prevent their mis-
deeds, or 10 drive them from Office,
than he could undertake to relieve
the State of New York from the OPP
nresaion If cOrrunf iudves like Rar.
nard n Cardozo, or the State Of Mis-
souri, from the shameful administra-
ton of Gratz Brown. Why not have
said six months ago that the only
means of reform in New York was a
change in the administration at WASH
ington? 1t would have been just as
reasonable as to talk about corrup-
ton in the Southern States as u rea-
son for electing Greelcy.-[St. Louis

Of 1870 of 1872 votes. The dispatches
