BEFORE AND BEHIND.


/ There was soul one eve autumual sailing
Bey ond The earth's dark bars,
Towards the land OF sunsets never paling,
Towards the heavens sea OF stars.
Behind there sSs a wake Of bfllows tossing,
Before glory lay.
. happy soui! with All sail set, lust cross
ing
Into the FAR away;
The gloom aud CLEAN, the ealmness and the
strife,
Were death before thee. and behind thee
life.
And as that soul went onward, sweetlv
speeding
Unto It's home aud light,
Repentance made Il .errowful exceeding.
Faith made il woadrous bright:
Repentance dark with shadowy roeonee-
tions
And longings unsGfieed.
Faith whit" snd Purs with suanlest- afIee-
tiOns
Fun from the face Gf Christ,
But both across the sua besilvered tide
Helped to the haven where theheart would
ride. -

Publishing News of Debtors.

According to the Boston Transcript,
certain jewelry and fancy goods deal
ers in that city propose to publish, as
occasion may require, the names OF
their debtors who persistently refuse
to pay their bills; not of those who
are unable, but those who will not,
although wealthy. The dealers have
on their books the names of persons
who live expensively and aim tomove
IN sO-called 'tgOOd society" and 10
keep themselves along, now and then
making wedding and other gifts, fer
which the jeweler seeks in vain to col
lect the bill. 1t is proposed, for the
benefit of whom it may concern, to
publish the names of such delinquents
a description and date Of article pur-
chased, together with the price, aad
to whom it was presented, "a these
records are all carefully kept. Recip-
tents of gifts will be able TO know TO
whom they are really indebted for
them, and the public viii have a ready
reference file of those who sail under
false colors among honest people

I KNOW A LITTLE WTDOw.

She is modest, but not bashful,
Free and eAsy, but not bsld.
Like an apple ripe and mellow,
Not too young. yet not too old;
Half inviting, half repuIsive,
Now advancing, and now shy,
There is mischief in her dimpls,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature.
She is schoOled in sll its arts;
She has taken her diploma
As the mistress Of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
o, a maid Is sometimes charming,
But widow all the while.
Are you sad? How very serious
viii her handsome face become.
Are you angry. she is wretched,
Lonely. friendless, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthful? How her laughter,
Silver.SOunding, will ring out.
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
AS an angler does q trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so sage and wise;
Young Trifiuyians Of twenty,
With the loye-look in your eyes;
You practise all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But know little widow
Who could win and fool you all.

if formed, would be one Of the finest

THE INVISIBLE CMLDREa. il is
not when your children are with you,
it is not when you see aud hear them,
that they are most to you; it is when
the sad assemblage is gone, it is when
the daisies have resumed their grow
ing again in the place where the little
form was laid; il is when you have
carried your children out and said
farewell, and come home again, and
day and night are full of sweet memo
Fies; it is full of touches aud suggest
ions of them? it is when you can not
look up toward GOd without thinking
of them; nor look doWn'tOWards your
self and not think of them; it is when
they have gone out Of your arms aud
are living to you only by the power Of
Imagination, that they are the most TO
you. The invisible children are the
realest children, the children that
touch our hearts as no hands of flesh
ever touch them.

The Coffee County Democrat, pub
lished at Manchester, Tenn, contains
the following sensible remarks, to
which we invite the special attention
of newspaper readers:
VIII 1t ever come, that long looked
for day, when people viii cease to re-
gard the press of the day as a happy
and gratutiOus medium through which
to puff and yauht the exeellencies of
themselves, their friends aud anything
that comes handy. We have never
had the impudence to call at a mer-
chants store, demand and receive
any article without giving a quid pro
0HO for it and we think the time has
come when merchants, lawyers, doc
tors politicians, school teachers. cir
cuses, etc, shall ceasa TO come into
Offices and ask for gratutiOus puffs. 1t
does matter to US, little as certain peo-
pie seem to see ii whether we are paid
for our space or not, and we feel some
what disinclined to further continue
to be imposed upon. Local or gener-
al matters of public interest we think
ourselves capable of passing upon
their merits and publishing without
assistance or hint; but for an individ-
ua to urge and insist upon our gratu-
itously displaying him or his hobby
to the public, merely because he
thinks it 10 be the public interest,
why upon that point, we'll ''iuSt take
no more in ours"

A NEW PARTY.-The Cincinnati
Commercial has launched boldly into
the sea of new partyism, crossed the
Rubieon, made the landing and
burned its ship behind it. Hence
forth it will have nothing to do with
either the Democratic or Republican
parties, and cries out, 'tA plague o
both your houses" Its political pro-
gramme is disclosed as follows:
We are weary of the old parties, and
we think the country weary of them.
The talk of Democratic "Feyival' is
all folly. There is not a possibility
of success in it. A majority of the
voters of the United States prefer the
Republican to the Democratic party,
and are likely to continue to do sO.-
As long as political contests are be-
tween the Republican and Democratic
parties, the great bulk of victories
viii be with the former. If the Demo
cratic organization is maintained,
the uoliciteai history of the last ten
wears will be repeated through the
next ten years, substantially, and the
decentralization of the country will in
crease. We took it that last summer
the action of the Democratic party
meant its final disbandment. We con-
tended that the election of Horace
Greeley to the Presidency could not
be a Democsatic victory. But the
party is rampant again, and assuming
to be inpossession of the great hereaf-
ter. Liberal Republicans are invited
to cooperate with the Democrats to
restore the ''old party to power and
accept a share of the spoils for doing
so. That will not answer. Dicker-
ing is done for. We had in Ohio last
summer a well defined article of Lib
eral Republicans. The thing needful
before commencing third party was
the article of Liberal Democrats
That has been developed. Now, we
wish to see what it all amounts 10. We
desira to know the extent of the pop
ular disgust with the old parties. A
test of prinaiple and poweris is required.
The production of full ticket of dis
tinct Liberllls at Columbus on the 30th
will give The movement that must
produce the test demanded, the prop
er "go of. -

A Dead Thing Against The
Treasury.

The Springfield Republican throw
some hight ON the ''advance pay" feat
ure Of the salary grab business. The
blll AS signed by the President, pro-
Yldes that Senators and CoRgre ssnen
may receive their compensation
monthly, from the beginning of their
! terms until the beginning of the first
session of cachsCon0ress' This pro-
vision has not been allowed "a Is,,se
FiDtO a deGd-letter; such provision
rarely are. On the fourth day of each
month, beginning with March. a
check for Soz0-one-third more than
the monthlytemolument Of our states
men under the old law-has beenrseut
to every member, holding over or
elect, of the Forty-third Congress.
In the great majority Of cases, the
money has undoubtedly been pocket
ed without scruple, and put into cir
culatiOn without any unnecessary
delay. BY August 4 each Congress-
man viii have received s., 1875, and by
December, when the new Congress
comes together, S5, ,625, sum cOnsid-
erbly larger than the average back
pay t0ted of by his predecessor-or
March. Every penny
of this 50, 625 is in the nature of pay
for work not yet done; il is all poek-
eteds very likely all spent, before the
recipient renders the slightest equiv
alent in Legislative service. The ag-
amount that win thus have
been disburssd In "advance pay" by
the time Congress meets, is g, ,O6S, $50.
Yet some guiless voters expect to
see the salaries restored to the former
figure, and some Republican conVen-
hons hatter this hope by virtuously
indignant resolutions demanding
such restoration. ''They nigh. as wen
talk of sleighing on last years snow"
says the oRt-spOken St. Louis Demo
crat ga repeal would involve q gen.
aral reimbursement. and this would
be an act of virture FAR beyond the
moral stamina of tha average Con-
gresham. The fact is, the treasury
IS at the mercy of these gentlemen,
and we are not Inclined to worry them
zoo mnch, lest they vote themselves
another increase just for spite.
