SONG OF THE MYSTIC.

| walk down the Valley Of Silence
Down the dim, voiceless Valley--alonc
And hear not the fall of q footstep
Around me--save Gods and my own
And the hush Of my heart is MS holy
As hovers where Angels have flown
Long ago-T wns weary OF voices
Whose music my heart could not win;
Long ago, was weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago was weary Of places
Where met the Humankind Sin.
/ walked thro' the world with the worldly;
craved what the world never gave;
And said s'In the world each ideal
That shines like star on liie's wave,
Is tossed on the shore of the Real
And sleeps like dream in the graye.'
And still did pine for the Perfect
And still found the False with the True;
| sought mid the Human for Heaven.
But caught n mere glimpse of Its Blue;
And wept when the clouds of the Mortal
Yelled even that glimpse from my view.
And toilcd on, henrt-tired of the Human;
And moaned mid the mazes of men;
Till knelt long ago at an Altar
walk down the Valley of Silence
That lies far beyond mortal ken.
Do you ask what found in the Valley?
'Tis my Trysting Place with the Divine;
And | fell at the feet of the Holy,
And above me voice said BE mine;''
And then rose from the depths of my spirit
An ccho-"My heart shall be Thine"
Do you ask how live in the Valley?
weep-and dream-and pray,
But my tears are sweet MS the dcw-drops
That fall on the roses of May;
And my prayer, like perfume from ccnsers,
Ascendeih to God night and day.
In the hush Of the Valley of Silence
] dream all the songs that ! sing;
And the music floats down the dim Valley
Till each finds word for wing,
That 10 men, like the Dove of the Deluge,
The message of Peace they may bring.
But far on the Deep there are billows
That never shall break on the beach;
And have heard songs in the Silence
That never shall float into speech;
And have had dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And have seen thoughts in the Valley
All me how my spirit was stirred
And they wear holy wells on their faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass through the Valley, like Virgins,
Too pure for the touch of Il word
Do you ask me the place Of the Valley?
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care
1t licth afar between. the mountains,
And God aud his Angels are there:
And one is the dark mount of Sorrow,
And Que the bright mountain OF Prayer.

in use No man has any excuse for not

one Of these superior machines. Tho

the low price at which it is sold, and the
fact that it has demonstrated its superb

ing them in elegant work, and above all,
the terms on which it is sold, the wonder
is that there is not Howe Machine in

ed to show the hospitality Of the city in
its most munifcent form, and proposed
that collation. should be given to the
strangers.
"And what, asked one Of the alder
man, "do you propose to put on the table
for the collation. y
"We'll will give them. said his honor,
in reply, shot coffee and snrdiues."
Ono Of the council thought that sar-
dimes and hot coffee were hardly up to
The mark for the hungry iremcn.
II know better" said the mayor, in
an angry tone. "Sardines arc hearty,
and will be just what they need
Perhaps" said an alderman, chs

The mayor sprang to bis feet angry

Il know" he shouted, "what sar-

maintained that our party is not yet strong
enough to carry such load. The ole
Democracy, the Fusionists, Governor
Warmoth, the unifcationists, besides in.
Vulnerable lesser interests, have been rid
den to death by this same political jockey.
and it was thought to be bad specula,
ton to engage him at any price.
The "honest lout' was, therefore, no,
invited when there was to be held strictly
family meeting, and the over sensitive go
between feels sore at the snubbing. As tits
on the eve Of holding peoples conven-
ton of it's own, or at least the Committee
of Seventy have planned some such show,
in which Republicans do not expect to
| participate, nor be asked to do SO, we are
unable to see wherein it is concerned
| about what happens among people whose
confidence it has failed to secure Ac-
cording to the tenets of the faithful all
Republicans are bad-that is, no good
Democrat can speak well Of one without
losing bis character for orthodoxy. What
difference then can it make to the Times,
for instance, what measures are adopted
by the Republicans? 1t is under contract
to oppose them, good or bad. The worse
they may be or the weaker the ministers
employed to carry them out the easier it
will be for our unattached neighbor to de-
molish them. But it has undertaken
pretty big job when it tries to squelch
General Souer by mixture of SANDER
and inuendo; on judge Pardee, by prov
ing him to be faithful friend of the
party, or Judge Hawkins, by very stupid
pun upon his name. The first of these
gentlemen brought money enough to this
city to buy up the Times, including the
materials and the principles as that es-
Enlistment was then organized; the other
two gentlemen were no superiors in their
party, and it would be difficult to find
their equals in the following of the Times,
for legal ability or purity Of character.
But these gentlemen being well known
Republicans, their utter demolition is
necessarily included III the big contract.
There may or may not have been an in
formal meeting of Republicans for the
purpose Of settling private affairs. That
the Times was not invited may be taken
as strong presumptive evidence that it
was not wanted. We are authorized to say
that the boys consider the party stronger
with such mischief maker on the outside
than it would be with it in consultation. It
may be respected as an open foe, but it is
not wanted in the disguise of friend
Our meddlesome neighbor should save
itself for its own funeral, which is prom
ised for the twenty-fourth. The Repub-
icans can get alang reasonably well at
present without the able counsels of this

DREDGING OUR RIVER OUTLET,

We ask the attention of our merchants
and congressman to the report of Majo,
c. W. Howell, superintendent of the
dredgeboats at the Mississippi passes.
From its minute details several deduc-
tons may be made most important to the
commerce of New Orleans. l. That there
has been and may be maintained depth
| OF twenty feet in the outlet channel by
! means OF the dredges. 2. That there is
| charged to exist a monopoly called the
Towboat Association, which has "willfully
and maliciously retarded" the dredge
work, and compelled the superintendent
to remove his dredgeboats from South
west pass to Pass-alOutre. 3. That
while the number of voyages made
through the passes has diminished during
the past three years, the value Of the ex-
ports has increased, and of the imports
also. This we should be inclined to ex-
plain by the regularity and rapidity of
steam voyages. All this points to the ne
cessity Of permanent deep water outlet,
such alone as can be furnished
by successful ship canal. This work
can alone give adequate transportation to
the productions of the interior. This
alone can protect the port of New Orleans
from the alleged combinations of private
interest, and prevent the withdrawal of
the dredgeboats. Major Howell emphati-
cally says that Congress should either
suspend the appropriation or compel
these alleged nlonopolists to cease OBJ
structing the work OF the dredgeboats
The REPUBLICAN has heretofore pointed
out the extreme danger that some legis-
lative accident will lay this dredge appro-
priation on the table, and SO deliver the
outlet navigation to the tender mercies of
the outlet navigators. 1t would be an
excellent thing for them to have Congress
at their mercy, and perhaps it would pay
better dividends to exact the last cent Of
toll on limited amount of compulsory
trade than upon much larger amount of
commerce passing free. Such, however
is not the interest of our merchants. It
may be well, then, for our representatives
to press the request Of Major Howell and
the recommendation Of the Chamber of
Commerce to regulate by law the approach
to the bars and the passage across them.
This will require the appointment or de- |
tail of a proper officer for the service.
The whole tenor of this report, how
ever, shows the imminent importance of
the ship canal. This once constructed |
and successful, no further possibility of |
interruption can occur. The outlet free |
and adequate, commerce will flow by this
route without hesitation. That its con- |
struction would be matter of money |
economy to the government is proved by
the financial statement Of Major Howell. |
An expenditure of three hundred thou
sand dollars per annum is the interest on
The capital cost of the canal, at five or six
millions Of dollars. We again invoke the
attention of our merchants and repre-
'entatives to this subject, and hope this
7aluable document will be impressed
ipon the Senate Transportation Commit
ZEE at its approaching visit to New Or
cans

One of the good results of the late cleo.
tons begins to be apparent. Several
played outpoiticians who were preparing
to throw off their allegiance to the

come in, this threatened danger to our
