THE ADVENT or THE MOSQUITO
By II. s. CORNwFu

By II. s CoRNwELL
AGAIN the gaunt mosquito comes,
Assassin Of the night.
With all his starving family.
To put my dreams to flight.
And try and settle his small bills,
And take draft at sight
hear again the dreadful sound.
That tells me who is near;
hear him wind his horrid horn,
And whet his poisoned spear:
lie sounds the battle blast, and ah,
feel that he Is near.
In vain the rank cigar | smoke,
Quite wild and desperate grown.
IN vain try TO drive him ont,
And shut the window down,
FOR sui hear those tranquil pipes
Monotonously drone!
In vain with patent canopies
My restless couch spread
No sooner do / close my eyes
And settle well nv head
feel sort of faintness like
patient being bled.
Like Cook among the cannibals
lls useless to appeal,
Or ike mummy wind myself
In sheets from head 10 heel!
The hungry wretch has picked me out
= To make himseif meal
"a
His sucker, like a burglars drill,
Would pierce an iron door;
He loves, a. Alexander did
To wade in human gore.
And like the Hoosac tunnel he's
An everlasting bore,
fou only put your finger down,
TO find he isn't there;
For now he's nibbling Al your nose
Or dancing in the air.
Or doing something in your ear,
Before yoH are aware
a child is he of Jersey swamps
Where, mid the fens and fosses,
lie cultivates his dapper wings
And nurtures his proboscis,
And prOmenades on slender stilts
Among the human NOSES
But yet his faults may not suffice
All merit 10 efface
For sinner never yet was born
Without some spark of grace;
And he is philanthropist-
lie loves the human race.
iye rubbed the room with camphor gum,
To modify the air:
But still hear its hateful hum
About me everywhere.
And were | not a Methodist,
I'd undertake to swear
Oh! bear me to some frozen cline
Where polar tcmpests blow.
On train-oil | could gaze unmoved.
or Greenand's cliffs of snow,
Ana be content to pass my days,
Among the EsquimauX.

THE GERMAN MOVEMENT IN ciTY POLITICS.

- Translated from tie Chicago Union-
We have expressed our eralhcaton that tha

cians, and without distinction Of party, hid be-
dom We called that the first step. That is al
that can be said in behalf Of such q uovemant-
second, much moro important step, Is neces<
eary-to make the organization, not = German
one; but party Of Freedom. :.
Although We bestow our iveliest sympathies
On this q Era Of Peace" among the Germans, yet
We regard further labor in this limited fald
supernuous the effort to unite tho Germans IN
opposition to the Temperance and Sunday Lawn
appears to Us very much like the e1ertions Of q.

Of yesterday concerning the meeting IN the
Seventeenth Ward, no viii see that, without evil
Of the meeting Of the German citizens. It seea.
nothing in it but move Of Mr. Hesing'a, in
whom It beholds kind Of commander OF tha..
German inhabitants OF Chicago, It is certainly
correct, il it ascribes the sudden conversion
Of the above named gentleman to the ciscu1n-
stance that longer remaining in the party fold
threatened Danger for him, but, when Tue
TRIBUNE puts him in the foreground as tha
leader, and when it continually talks OF tSun-
day beer" it has made grave mistake It such
3 respectable and generally wel1-informed shees
arrives st such falae conclusion, how much
more likely is it that this will be- the case with
Americans in genera12
We must, therefore, dete1ninedIy call atten-
ton to the necesBity Of agitation anon English-
speaking citizens, and urge, in the interest Of
the good cause, that these purely German meet
ings shall be made general ones. The Committee
having charge Of the movement should make it
their chiuf duty to bring in our non-German cit
izcns, in order that No .may, in common, Oppose
Puritanism, corruption, and unconstitutional
Laws. In this way alone can VIC count with Ger
tainty On successful contest with the forces OPP

whit whether beer or whisky are sold seven days
IN the week, Or only six. The leaders generally
would prefer to have it sold eight days, il any

trol the party, when it chooses to do so; in the

Death of the Year.

Feeble and faint, and grim and gray,
Ia his las, dark hour The Old Year lay;
And heavily came his parting breath,
And Dis eyes grew dim in the mists % death
Yet iE months past. when the Spring time smiled.
This gray Oh year was a merry child
And he riyaled the lark il cleft the air,
And 'Eined bright bulls in his golden hair.
Then the Summer came, and the buds were flowers,
And the nightingale sang In the blooming bowers
And a pensive youth, he loved the night,
And The silent stars, and the pale moonlight
sun The months rolled BY, and the autumn now
Gave it, golden fruit from each bending bough
Aud with mind mature, he had reached, at length,
The full perfection Of manly strength.
But the leayes grew sere, and the autumn passed,
And the tall trees bent 20 the wintTy blast
And the days wore on, and the end drew nigh,
And the weary Old year lay down 10 die.
Feeble and faint, and grim and gray,
In his last dark hour the Old Year lay;
And heavily came his parting breath,
And his eyes grew dim in the mists Of death
Yet not alonc-for Old Time stood there;
lie watched at his side with paternal care
And he gaz-I on the glass in his ygithered hand,
And jeai0usly counted each ebbing sand.
Nay not aone-fDr company vast,
The shades Of the numberless years Of the past
EneireIed the couch where the dying year lay,
And mounfuIy beckoned his spirit away.
Then sullenly toIisd from a crumbng tower,
The solemn strokes Of the midnight hour
And the ghost or the gray Old Year was free,
With the shadowy past, in eternity

If the condition of some sections of the
