Caleb and Ruth.

Uncle Caleb aud Ruth, his wife,
Caring little for outside weather,
Fifty years of their welded life
spent IN this tiny cottage together.
Messy the roof and gray the wall,
Narrow the window, low the door
But loves own sunlight hall0wed 1t all,
From RATED ceiling TO sanded floor.
Silent the day but silver sweet
Voices Of children long ago
Keeping time to Their restless feet,
Followed the mother to and fro.
Scattered alar from East to West,
Seeking their fortune far and wide,
No one stays in the old, n nest
Where such beautiful memories hide.
Stranger feet on tile tIme-worn stair
Wake the echoes of other days
Stranger vote are lifted where
Caleb once turned the tune Of praise.
Caring naught for the desolate Pain
OF the wind in the pine-tree tops,
Caring uaught for the grieving rain
That SO sadly over them drops ;
Needing as little the sunbeam's kiss,
Falling sweet from the summer sky,
III narrower h0uss than this
Caleb aud Ruth together lie.
Up whore the many mansions wait
Is there, | wonder, cottage small
Not too stately its pearly gate,
Not too shining its golden WALL
Where these two may in peace abide
Heaven whore none OF these must part
Ctleb away from her gentle side,
Ruth atar from his faithful heart
Hand in hand from morning to night,
Travelled these two the long earth day.
Surely they walk through the Geld of light
Hand ia hand on the shining way.
Blessed love of husband and wife,
Love that lasted through cares and fears
Filling this place with the chrism OF life,
Peace unelouded tor fifty years.

Salmon p. Chase, Cakes
Ames ard John Stuart
Mill.

It is a rare occurrence indeed, that
three men, so prominently known as
those whose names stand at the head
Of this article, PISS from the stage OF
action within the brief period Of tor
ty.eight hours. Chief Justice Chase
died at the residenc, of his daughter
in New York City, OH Wednesday
the 7th inst. He was lawyer OF
acknowledged ability, a far.seeins
statesman. as he proved himself while
a member OF the War Calumet o!
Mr.. Lincoln. Many places OF pubic
trust had been filled by him with
credit to himself and his constituency,
but like too many of our atlest men
he coveted the Presidency to such
an extent, that he would resort to
chicanery If Re could. only secure the
nomination. Duling TIE early days
Of tie Republican party he was an
active member, an1 sought the nom
ination Tor President in 1860, at the
Chicago Cons ention, which selected
Mr.. Lincol..,. Eight years lat er. he
permitted his friends 10 look after
his c..,ances for the nomination at the
! democratic Convention; but he
was at that time defeated by ex Gov.
ernor Seymour. For the last few
years he has been angling along in
the muddy waters of Democracy,
but he dies without receiving the
much-c coveted honor OF Americas
Chief Magistrate. In the face Of his
political faults, however, let 1t be
said of Mr.. Chase, that he was a man
whose Network will long be remem-
bered by all lovers of liberty, and
that His name has an honorable con
nection with the work of sevcring
the shaUkles OF slavery from tour
millions of human beings. He died
at the age Of 50 years.
The name of Cakes Ames is ia
miliar from his fatherhood of the
Credit Mobilier scandal. He was
nearly 20 years old, ard had been q
member Of Congress eleven years.
Had he died decade earlier, he
would have left record that Is W 81 Oh
