THE GOLDEN TOUCH.

Once upon u time there lived a
very rich King, whose name was
Midas, and he had little daughter,
named Marygold. This King was
fonder of gold than anything else in
the world, but he loved nearly as we'll
his little daughter, who was q merry,
Ioveable child. But the more he
loved his child the more he desired
wealth, for he thought, foolish man,
that the best thing he could leave
this dear child was the biggest heap
of yellow shining coin that had ever
been heaped together since the world
was made. So he gave all his
thoughts and all his time to this one
purpose. If he gazed at the gold
tinted clouds of sunset, he wished
they were real gold, and could be
squeezed into his strong box. If he
stirred the fire, and the sparks flew
cracking up the chimney, he wished
some fairy would turn them into
golden coin for him, and in fact his
whole thoughts ran upon gold, gold,
gold, till he almost ceased to care for
anything else.
In his earlier days before this in
sane desire for riches seized him,
King Midas had been fond of flowers,
and had planted garden in which
grew the largest, sweetest and most
beautiful roses that any mortal ever
saw, but now, if he ever looked al
them, it was to calculate how much
they would be worth were all the
roses turned TO gold.
At last Midas got so unreasonable
in his passion for money, that he
spent nearly all his time In dark
strong, room in the vaults of the
palace, where he kept his money
here, after locking the door, he would
take out his bags of coin and coun
them over, or sift the gold dus
through his fingers or toss up tn,
bars of gold and catch them as the.
came down, and he never was s.
happy as when thus employed.
One day, as King Midas was il
his treasure-room, ne saw shado'
fall upon the heaps of gold, AM
looking up, what should he behol,
but the figure Of stranger STANDING
in the bright and narrow sunbeam
that fell from the iron-barre
window. It was a young man, wit
cheerful and ruddy face. As Kin
Midas knew he had carefully locke
the door, he of course concluded q
once that some fairy had visited hin
The stranger gazed about the room
and when his lustrous smile ha
glistened upon all the golden object
there. he turned to Midas :
you are a wealthy man, frlen
AIidasw he observed Il dout
whether any other four y alls on cart
contain so much gold as you hav
contrived to pile up in this room"

well" answered Midus, In a dlscoI
J tented tone; "but after all 1T is bU
a trife, when you consider that
has taken me my whole life to get
? together. If one could live
, thousand years he might have tim
, to grow rich"
| What! then you are not satisfied
t exclaimed the Stranger. Midas shoe
his head.
/, "And pray what would satisfy yol
: Merely for the curiosity of the thin

8 stranger.
Midas paused and meditated. I

Ohio Democratic Address.

| The Democratic State Executive Com
mtttee issues the following address to
| the Democracy of Ohio
! "The result of last Tuesdays cleo
! ton shows that Ohio was lost by the
| failure to poll the usual Democratic
votes. Notifying as Is the fact, Justice
| to the Liberal Republicans, and an ear
nest desire to retrieve the misfortune,
/ require US to declare it. In our chief
! towns, the Liberal strength exceeded
our most sanguine estimates. In the
country it fell short but the aggregate
| of the Liberals In city and country who
voted our State ticket, added to the
Democratic vote of 1853, would have
overcome the Republican majority at
that election and the negro vote com
bined and given US victory, Can we re-
pair the mischief? We can. Four
fifths of the Democrats who staid at
home last Tuesday can be induced to
vote for Greeley in November. Those
who viii absolutely refuse to go to the
polls viii be counterbalanced by those
Republicans who went against US Las
Tuesday but will vote for Greeley. We
| have only to poll our usual Democratic
/ ote to snatch from defeat q glorious
ctory. The Liberals stretch forth the
/ hand shall we refuse to take 1t? The
PROSTATE and plundered South cries out
/ for help shall we be deaf to their APP
peal?
''By Greeley's election we can restore
! prosperity and good government to the
/ South, kind feeling to the now hostile
| sections, honesty and honor to the civil
! service. respect to the Constitution and
laws to the national Administration.
! Could we do more with Democrat In
/ the Presidency? Could he expect that
| cooperation n Congress which Mr..
! Greeley would command? Are patriot
/ ic Democrats willing to lose all benet-
cial results of victory out of personal
! hostility to Greeley, or disgraceful leth-
/ argy? Are Ohio Democrats ready TO
! let our yet pure and proud State be-
| come debauched and hopelessly sUbju~
| gated, like Pennsylvania, by hordes of
mercen8ries paid by public plumber.
f'FellOW Democrats, our union with
the Liberals in Ohio has not been fruit
less. It has given us Hamilt n county
by near 5000 majority, which secures
the Constitutional Convention and the
Legislature and United States Sena-
tor next year, If we make a brave fight
this fall. Should both Ohio and Penn
sylvania go for Grant, the chances are
still in favor of Greeley's election. Con-
! necticut, New York, New Jersey and In
diana, added to those Border ana
Southern States which are certain for
Greeley, viii give him clear majority.
We have already, by a vigorous and ag-
gressive fight, forced the Grant party
/ to its knees, and can conquer 1t IN No
vember. Fellow-DemOcrats, work till
November heartily and hopefully. The
Liberals will take care of themselves.
Let every Democratic county commit
tee get list of those Democrats in each
township who failed to vote last Tues
day, and direct its efforts to them.
Bring out this laggard vote, and tho
fight is won in Ohio and the Republic. "

MIR. Greeley en- the October Elections.

Mr.. Greeley's views on the October
elections have been freely expressed to
those who have questioned him since
his return from Baltimore.
To Herald reporter he said
"Our people are not likely to get
frightened by the October results. We
intend to do our best to the end.
think we can surely count upon lZ9
electoral votes in the South, and think
the North will give rs the rest. I'm
doubtedIy there we're frauds perpetated
in the Pennsylvania elechons-irauds
that affect the whole American scheme
of self government more disastrously
than they can affect me personally, and
I believe the principles Of the Liberal
movement are so deeply imbedded IN
the minds and hearts Of our peaple that
only similar frauds can insure the sue
cess of the other side IN November. 1t
must be remembered that frauds cannot
be diffused go readily over thirty seven
States as over three. / feared for Penn
svlvania, notwithstanding the evil char
acter of the Republican nominees there,
more than did for Ohio because our
friends are well organized in Ohio and
greatly lacked organization IN Pennsyl-
vania. In at least one speech IN Penn
sylvania 1 strongly urged organization
and explained the need of it,
evil you make any more tours this
! canvass?" asked the reporter.
'I do not know" responded the Lib
eraI chief. "I Will visit a number of
agricultural fairs, and as our friends
/ think nv services are needed IN the
field will cheerfully acquiesce.
To a World reporter Mr. Greeley re-
marked that he saw no reason for any
/ dependency, and was as firm as ever IN
his belief that the Liberals would tri-
umph In November. The result IN
| Pennsylvania and Ohio was no real Cyl
terion, and should those States go the
same way in November, the Liberals
still had good cause to hope for success
His impression was that the Southern
States, with, probably, one except on,
would give liberal majOrities. Their
electoral vote, together with what would
be added by New York and other horth'
ern States, were sufficient to insure VIC
tory. He was certain, from what he
had seen since Tuesdays election, THAT
the defeat IN Pennsylvania and Ono
: had invigorated Liberals throughout
the country, and melted them to enter
into the Campaign with great energy

The Serenity of the Dying.

It has so happened that bava
seen many men and woman a.
Without design or disposition on nv
part, 1 have very many times been
/ present when sick persons were ebb-
/ ing to eternity. I have seen men
and women, young and old, cuItivat-
ed and ignorant, orthodox and heter-
odox, IN their last moments; and. as
a rule, all of them passed away, if
not without regret, at least with en-
tire resignation. None of them
showed dread of the future. Their
thoughts were fixed on what thew
were quitting, not on what they were
going to. I observed that some of
them were troubled, perhaps dis
tressed, when they first thought
they could not recover, but that the
nearer their end came, the less ap-
prehensive and calmer they grew.
Having once banished hope, tran
guilty seemed to descend upon
them as substitute, and aiterward,
if free from physical pain, there
was unruffied peace. If encouraged
to believe they might get well, or if
they had favorable turn, the old
anxiety, with something of the for
mer apprehension, reappeared;
proving that their mental disquiet-
ude was born of their expectation of
life, not of their fear of death. Thus
was established a clear analogy be-
tween material and spiritual anguish
under the same circumstances. As
We have seen, they who are badly
hurt, or seriously III, experience suf-
fering in going back to life, while
the downward path to death, both
for the body and the soul, Is paved
with smoothness and serenity.

DAIRY PRoDUCTs VERSUS BEEF FOR
FOoD.-Mr. Y. A. WILLARD, In his
address before the annual meeting
of the Vermont Dairymen's Asso-
citation, argued in favor of the supe-
rior economy of cheese and milk for
food, as compared with beef. A
good COW in twelve years would pro-
duce $500 pounds of cheese, while
three good steers, four years old
would not usually give more than
one thousand pounds Of beef each

TIE CRADLE SONG OF THE
POOR.9

Hush! cannot bear to see thee
Stretch thy hands in vain;
have got no bread to give thee,
Nothing, child, to ease thy pain.
When God sent thee first to bless me,
Proud, and thankful, too, was I:
Now, my darling, 1, thy mother,
Almost long to see thee die.
Sleep, my dazzling, thou art weary;
God is good, but life is dreary.
I have watched thy beauty fading,
And thy strength sink day by day;
Soon, 1 know, will want and fever,
Take thy little life away.
Famine makes thy father reckless,
Hope has left both him and me;
We could suffer all, my baby,
Had we but a crust for thee.
Sleep, my darling, thou art weary
God isgOOd, but life is dreary.
Better thou shouldst perish early,
Starve so soon, my darling one,
Than live to want. to sin, to struggle
Vatnly, still, as have done
Better that thy angel spirit
With my joy, my peace were flown,
Than thy heart grow cold and careless,
Reckless, hopeless. like my own.
Sleep, my darling. thou art weary;
OOA - SOOut DlJ 1lIo IS uT6aTy-
am wasted, dear, with hunger,
And my brain is all oppressed,
I have scarcely strength to press thee,
Wan and feeble to my breast.
Patience, baby, God will help us,
Death will come to thee and me-
He will take US to his heaven,
Where no want or pain can be.
Sleep, my darling, thou art weary;
God is good, but life is dreary.
Such the plant, that late and early,
Did we listen, we might hear
Close beside us-but the thunder
OF a city duIIs our ear.
Every heart, like Gods bright angel,
Can bid one such sorrow cease;
God has glory when his children
Bring his poor ones joy and peace!
Listen, nearer while she sings,
Sounds the fiuttering of wings
