OUT WITH THE TIDE.

Chill and murk the twilight falls.
As the tide streams out TO the bay.
Come dose to my eide. oh, faithful one.
And kiss me again, pray;
For my life is ebbipg along with the tide
Ebbing and passing away.
Piins wide the lattiee-the sunset one
That looks on the open sea;
love to hear the plaintive waves
Which ever seem calling to me;
Now take our babe from his cradle soft
And place him upon your knee.
How lovely he looks. with the dainty nu,h.
Like a sea shells tint on his cheek!
Our lives have been happy, have they not?
Though poor, we were gentle aud meek.
Nay, do not cry! l grieve to see
Those tears on manly check.
Place him back once more in hi. crib:
Though never again he may see
The light Of love in those fading eyes,
lie will not be far from me;
shall nightly guard his gentle sleep,
And keep him pure aud free.
Now rise me up on your massive arm,
That has toiled for u both so long;
Kiss me again and let me watch
The dark waves sweep along,
And hear the voice Of the nisht-wind come.
With its sad aud dirgo-like song.
Out with the tidc,-afnr. afar-
But not to nm unkn.vrn son.
FIR, look, the lighthouse now i. lit,
And its lamps are flashing free;
Out with the tide! but not, dear love,
Not always away from thee.

The readers of the HERALD all know
that the senior editor of this paper is a
very modest man, and would make no
statement eulogistie of himself, and would,
therefore, simply state, that while in at
tendance at the Ohio State Editorial Asso-
citation, he mingled with the finest looking
and most intellectual body of men that
ever assembled at the metropolis. The
members of the Editorial Association were
the special objects of admiration in the
city. and received marked and respectful
attention. It is not to be wondered at
then, that the members of the Constitu-
tional Convention exhibited evidences oi
jealousy in consequence of these attentions
and the acknowledged superiority of the
members of the Editorial Association, but
the admission that the members of the
Constitutional Convention were second only
TO the members of the Editorial Associa
ton, was acknowledged to be a high ant
deserved compliment to the former. Blu
modesty, you know %.

Stnte Convention.

The Republican State Convention at Co.
lumbus on Wednesday last, was one of the
largest political conventions that has been
held in the State for several years. But one
sentiment prevailed, and that was to nomi-
nate candidates for the various offices who
were competent, faithful and honest. Al
though the ticket is not, in all respects, just
as we would have made it, yet it is a good
.sSe, and is worthy the support of the great
hlican party of the State. The candi-
all good, reliable men, and should

FrightFuI Tornado.

A terrific hurricane passed over the cen
trail portion Of Iowa, on the 22d inst, caus-
ing the death Of number of persons and
demolishing houses, barns and out-b build
ings and killing great deal of stock. 1t
was in balloon shape and extended half
a mile in width.
1t seems to have risen in Washington
county where its fury was the most severe.
Great timbers were taken up and driven
endwise in the ground. Houses, barns.
fences, trees, cattle, and human beings
were eaught up and whirled through the
air like toys, and then dashed to the
ground with such violence as to produce
instant death to animate beings. Houses
and barns were torn to fragments and
scattered for miles around. The fields are
dotted with large timbers driven into the
ground at an angle of ninety degrees, and
cattle were actually driven head foremost
into the ground.
We have not learned the exact number
of 1ives lost in the storm. The loss Of
property is supposed to be over $1Oo,OOO
The address Of Mr. Martin before the
"ohiO Editorial Association on Friday last
was, in the mfin. pretty good. 1t proved
that he had made considerable research forhis
facts but in his charges ofdishonesty and inf
deity ofthe managers of the press at this day
be made some reckless and unwarra ntable
assertions, which aroused the indignation of a
good many members of the Association. His
charge that editorial influence is bought M
by special favors of peculiar character, may
be true in some instances, and Mr. Martin may
know how 1t is "hinselG" personally; and his
open confession at this time may reasonably
be accounted Tor from the fact that he is an
ex-editor, and has retired from the tripod up.
