SNOW FLAKES.

am looking from my window
At the s0ftly-falling sn0w,
And watching its 'still passage
To the frozen earth below;
And I'm thinking of the thousands,
Who viii hail it with delight,
And Of the tens Of thousands
Whose comfort it viii blight,
I mark the fakes descending
How grand to contemplate
a myriad tiny feathers,
Each distinctly separate,
I single from among them
The largestI can see,
And in its devious windings
Ttrace it easily.
And thus learn, while musing,
A lesson from the sky;
The fakes, ike human beings,
Are born to fall and die;
Each takes a common pathway
AS they to earth descend;
They have n common origin
And meet a common end.
The greatest, though conspicuous
While living, stiil must die,
And with the least in one low bed
At last must lie.
Be humble then, proud mortal,
Nor vaunt your high estate
Death sees no difference between
The lowly and the great.

It is folly for an eminent man to
think Of escaping eensure, and 9
weakness to be affected with it. All
the nlustrious persons of antiquity,
and, indeed, of every age in the
world, have passed through the fiery
persecution. There is no defense
against reproach but obscurity; it is
a kind of concomitant to greatness,
as satire and invectives were an es-
sentiaI partof Roman triumph.

A Broad Democratic Platform.

The Hon. r. d. Hubbard, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor OF Con-
necticut, recently wrote letter TO a
of Germans assembled in
mass meeting at Hartford which was
for its practical sense and
calm discussion of certain topics dis.
cussed by the convention. He declared
himself in favor of religious liberty in
political life, the purity of the ballot
box, the enforcement of the laws, proper
qualifications in candidates for office,
and of popular education in its broadest
sense; and opposed to all sorts OF cor
ruption and evil practice in politics, nc
matter where or in what party. The
law, in his judgment, should know nc
difference between the home-born and
the foreign-born, and this principle
should apply also to the distribution o
Office. In like manner he declared hi
opposition to the attempt to put I'm
reasonable restrictions on the right o
naturalization. In regard to temper
ance laws" he considered that it is i'm
possible to lay legal embargo on men
mouths in respect to drink or diet, ant
that even if this could be done, it ough
not to be allowed under free govern
ment. The traffic in liquors, he thought
needs regulation, and its abuse need
redress; but prohibition was out OF tn
question.

The Explanation Dodge.

There is peculiarly about investi-
cations into Radical rascalities. No
sooner are the charges preferred han
the accused comes voluntarily forward
and proffers an explanation as interest
ing as it is inaccurate. In every in
stance thus far the mildest type of in
vestigation has proved sufficient to blow
this explanation to flinders. There was
senator James Wood. He went to AL
bany pennies, with Sl3 900 in unsatis-
fed judgments hanging over his head
at home. He served Tor 80 day, and
at the end of two years it came out that
he had deposited $4,000 in weeds
Savings Bsnk. When the Tribune made
the damaging fact public the Senator
was ready with an explanation. lie
never received the money; he did re-
ceive the money, but he gave his note
for it; Mr.. Tweed lent him the money;
it wasn't his money at all, but belonged
to an embarrassed" friend of his-and
so on to the climax of confusion. And
now when the investigation which he
"courted," with about the same fond.
ness that Mr.. Pickwick courted the
Widow Bardeli, has been granted, it is
noticeable that through the closed doors
of the com mittee. room come rumors to
The effect that there isn't whitewash
