A SUMMERS EVE.

-Ff By izAIaA NASH.
Twas on a golden summers eve 1ae
Wewandered through the woods,
Fair nature wore her sweetest smiles,
An merry were the BIRDS
Bright flowers pesped from out the grass,
With violet-colored eyes;
Soft breezes passed along and stole
Their perfume 10 the skies;
The silv'ry brooks ran murmuring forth
Their sounds of pure delight.
And the evening star unveiled herself
To our enraptured sight;
For well she knew we all must bow
Before her radiant charms q
That with her pure transcendlnt light
The poets heart she warns.
We wandered forth until the night,
All weird, rushed ON the scene
Arrayed in garments dark and sad,
Where soft-eyed joy had been.
She threw gloom upon the brow
Of all the happy hills,
And a saddened sound seemed to arise
From the joyous silver rills.
How hushed it seemed! how stin and dead
As if some awful doom
Had fallen upon the gorgeous earth
And robbed her Of her bloom.
The little birds low bowed their heads1
And wrapped themselves in sleep;
The flowers, too, seemed to have shrunk
Into the grasses deep.
Still the evening star ruled queen of night,
With bright and witching eye,
And forgotten was the gentle moon
BY the dark gOld-eyed sky,
TIL the fair sultana of the night,
With soft and melting gaze,
Arose, and, clad in her silver robes,
Rode to him in her chaise.
We fingered not-the charm had FED
With twilight's rosy hue.
Fen leafy bOughs and flowers fair
Were weeping tears Of dew,
That the kind and genial day had fled
And left them all alone
With the silent stars and the cold, bright mOOl
Smiling upon her throne.

SEND THELTTTLE ONES HAPPY TO
HEn


Send the little ones happy to bed
When closes the Troublesome day,
Let no harsh invectiYe be said
To ruffe the mind while they pray.
Sore trials and troubles fun soon
The sweet sleep Of childhood will ban;
Then let them lie jOyOusly down
And cherish bright dreams while they can.
Send the little ones happy to bed,
Though they may be mischievous and WHO
Nature seldom bestows wise head
ON a rOsy-cheeked, light-hearted child,
Then let their glad spirits have play,
Aud brighter and stronger they'll grow,
Like a stream that runs free on its way,
And suffers no check on its flow.
Send the little ones happy to bed,
You know not what i'll may be near,
Ere the morning your pets may be dead
Then vain the regret or the tear,
So let them lie down with delight,
And fail not to give and TO take
A kiss when they prattle "gOod night"
And a kiss in the morn when they wake.

THE DESTRUCTION OF U. SIENNA
nHERVR GRANT

CHERIB GRANT.
The Collectors came down like the wolf on the
fold,
The Postmasters greedy for Government gold,
The carpet-bag legiOns rushed up from the South
To re-nOminate Grant and-put bread in each
mouth.
But the breath of November is chill in its blast,
And it quenched II. Ulysses cigar as 1t passed.
And it stiffened poor Casey and Murphy to stone,
While the Nations loud mandate babe Useless
begOne!
And there lay his hOrses-as useless as he
And his bull-pups that gamDoled all sportiYe ana
free;
For the voice of Charles Sumner spread death on
the gale,
pale.
There is weeping and wailing in regions below
Consul Butler fills Egypt with accents Of woe;
Bnt Columbia's true sons will rejoice at the day
When the curse Of our country shall vanish
away!

The Elections.

The news from the Northern cleo.
tons is not so encouraging as we had
hoped, but We see no reason for des-
pondency, much less for despair
Pennsylvania has gone Republican,
which we did not expect. Ohio has
done the same, but there has been an
immense Liberal gain over the major
ity for Grant and a gain of two Liber-
al Congressman. Nebraska is Radical.
But we are confident of having carried
Indiana by a considerable majority.
These elections were carried by fraud.
1t has been known for some time past
that the Radicals were colonising these
States with negro voters from Mary
land. Virginia and Kentucky, and that
these votes have secured the success
of the Radical ticket. And yet, in the
face of these glaring frauds the Liber-
ais have made tremendous gains in
all these States. At the Presidential
election in November these repeaters
will stay ut home to vote, and when
left to themselves all these States can
be carried for Greeley.
We do not, therefore, see anything
in the late elections to indicate the de-
feat of Greeley and Brown. We said
last week that if we should only carry
Indiana we should feel confident of
success. We have carried her now,
and shall carry the State by q still
larger majority for Greeley and Brown.
We do not need the electoral vote Of
either Ohio or Pennsylvania. All the
Southern States are sure for Greeley
except South Carolina and Mississippi.
The votes of New York, Indiana. Yves.
Virginia and California, added to the
Southern States, will be enough TO
elect him. There is not the slightest
doubt that he will carry these States.
Moreover, we feel morally certain that
New Hampshire, Connecticut New Jer-
sy, Nevada and Oregon will cast their
votes for him. This will give him a
handsome majority.
