"IF WE KNEW"

II we knew the woe and heart-ache
Waiting for us down the road.
II our lips could taste wormwood
If our backs could feel the load
Would we waste to-day in wishing
For a time that neer can be;
Would we wait in such lmpaticnce
For our ships to come from sea2
IT we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be stiff and cold Tomorrow
Never trouble us again;
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch tho frown upon our browi
Would the print of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do noW2
All, these little ice-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns--but roses
For our reaping by.and-byl
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown,
Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one-half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the airl
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth to-day;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams,
Lying all along our path
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting ont the thorns and chaf;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings Of to-day;
With patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.

Armstrong severed the rope, and the body of
Dennis fell about seven fees thrnngh the scat

death resulted from strangulaion. The body
heaved convulsively for about 15 minutes before
life was extinct.
After hanging for q of an hour, the body was

THE GALL0WS.
Execution Of william Dennis.

To-day, at Ills in accordance with the man
dates of the law, William Dennis alias Duckery,
aged 22, who was convicted of the crime of rape
upon the person of Mary Thompson, in New
Castle Hundred, on the night of the 26th of
March last, paid the penalty OF his crime upon
the gallows. A bleak, cold, desolate day the
bare pine scaffold erected in the prison yard
the awful solemnity of the procession to the
scaffold the severed rope; the thud Of the fall
ing body, and the corpse of William Dennis
dangling in mid-air, all oonspire to teach that
- the way ofthe transgresBor is hard"
The details Of the horrible crime are yet too
fresh in the minds of our readers to need repet-
tion His very extraordinary escape from his
pursuers on that fatal night his pursuit and
subsequent capture near Old Chester June Sth,
by officers Wingate and Stewart his arraign-
ment, conviction and fentence, his return to his
cell never to leave until he went to be ushered
into eternity, are to our citizens news but az of
yesterday.
Since the confinement OF Dennis, his general
demeanol is represented TO have been of the
most quiet and docile character. His wants
have been but few, and he took without any
murmur all that was done for him Until last
evening he hardly appeared to realize his fate.
He had previously slept soundly. Last night
he asked the Sheriff to bring him in good sup
per, and after eating it said that he wished
good breakfast In the morning. He slept but
little, occupying himself In praying and singing.
Row. William Young, Isaac Green and Mr.
Colcazer, of the Methodist Church, were in com
stant attendance. To these gentlemen, yester-
day. he made a statement, owning to the COM
mission of the crime, and fully exonerating
John Thompson from any completely.
When interviewed by the COMMERCIAL report
or, this morning, he stated that he had no con-
fession to make; that he was guilty and satis-
fed to suffer the penalty, and hoped that he
fit to die He expressed himself as satisfied
with the treatment given him. His mother and
brother called to see him this morning.
The procession TO the gallows was in the fol-
lowing order:

The Cincinnati Times saws:

"The Washington Chronicle improves
the occasion of Republican victory at the
National Capital to read q lecture to 'the
miserable miscreants' in that city-corre-
spondents of the press-'who have been
searching fo- evil-doers like carrion crows
for tainted flesb,' ant thinks now that they
are undeceived by the unmistakable voice
Of the people at the pools, they should make
honorable amends From all which we in.
fer that Gov. Shepherd IS supposed to have
been endorsed by the people of the District
asjust the man for their money"
The Washington correspondent of the
Ciccinnati Gazette, writing on the 10th
inst, tells the story Of this election as fol-
lows: "The summing up of the vote in
this district shows falling OFF of nearly
fifty per cent over the election organizing
the new government. The total vote cast
at the organization was 26,300, total at the
present election, 4,156. Tire colored vote
was about 1000, leaving about 5000 as the
total white vote, or, in other words, very
few, If any, of the latter ass beyond these
directly employed by or connected with the
Board Of Public Works" In other words,
the white men of the District of Columbis,
those who pay the taxes, have, in conse-
quence of the iniquities practiced 10 elec.
tions there, been constrained to abandon
the government to the control of the ne
groes and their white leaders, the latter of
whom are growing rich at the public ex-
pense through the contracts they are ena-
bled TO control.
