va >o'''Sei'S thc eiectlOf1 OF any CHn-
didate on account of fraud or serious
informality or Noncompliance with

Contests for seats as members of the
Legislature are to be tried, as now, by
the respective Houses. Dispositions
and evf'ence in each case are to be
taken before a Justice of the Peace i'm
the district to be represented, and
such evidence, properly certified, is to

The bill also provides for the trial of
any officer for malfeasance i'm office,
either by criminal prosecution or i'm
parchment.

opening of ballots by inspectors or
others previous to their being placed
in the box, or marking of the same,

The concluding section repeats all
! previous election laws.
With the single exception of sec

THE new code of California es-
tablishes such complete equality in
the marriage state, and so does away
with the old notion that a man and
his wife are II flesh, that the two
can contract w tn and sue each other
the same as if they had never been
MARI ed. The marriage of minors
changes the status from minors to
adults.

couldn't tell, dear heart,

But I'd hear of her almost every day from
either Katie or Will;
And when they talked of 4 legacy that had

My broken prayers went up to God for her
happiness below.

Plant Flowers.

MANY persons fancy that they
cannot afford flower garden: they
say that they cannot spare the
money required to purchase seeds
and plants; nor the time To cultivate
them. 1t is true that great deal of money
may be spent on the flower garden; but it
is also true that much may be done with
very little judiciously expended.
| had beautiful garden my first sum
mcr in the country, and it cost me less
than two dollars, all told. My flowers
were mostly ANIMALS, and | did all the
work myself My seeds were collected
with care; | did not indulge in novel
ties" my watchwords in hunting through
the catalogues were hardy and fragrant"
Chcapncss, too, had to be considered.
studied catalogue one winter, thorough
ly; planned my garden on paper while
the snow was on the ground; then in
April | went to work, and my garden WAS
IA success.
Anybody can learn to garden, and one
soon comes TO love the work for itself
apart from the charming results.
In that first garden of mine there was n
small bed of that exquisite little flower ne
mophila, seven varieties, all from one
packet of mixed seed cost five cents. For
ten cents | had a gorgeous border of Tin
Mas of all colors. Ten cents also gave me
a hedge of the swcetpea, one of the lowell
est flowers that grows. Then there were
nasiurtiums, candytuit, scabiosa, snap

phlox, erysimum, mignOnette, and fora's
paint brush. These flowers are all good,
and all cheap; none costing over ten cents
| packet and some only five.
Five cents worth of mignonette will
sweeten a whole garden; that is my eXpe-
rience' with it. l have it everywhere, it
sows itself; but | always buy a packet of
seed to make sure, for as to passing a
summer without my little darling" l
could not do it. Besides these, l had Il
little bed of pansies; they cost twenty
cents l sowed the seed in cold-frame
in April. The pansy is one of my favor
ties; it has so much "countenance," as
Jane Austen says, somewhere, of one of
her people. The Germans call it 'little
step-mother." Pansies bloom the first
year from seed, and us soon as most an
nuals; but they are perennial, and the sec
ond year begin to bloom in April and con
tinue all through the summer, and quite
into the edge of winter. They do not en-
dure heat very well, and the blossoms are
always finest in spring and autumn. a
little shade in July and August, and
mulching and watering are useful.
My bed of Japan pinks (dianthus Chi
nenses), too, cost twenty cents; they, like
the pansy, bloom the second year, and
sometimes longer; they are very hardy,
and bloom late in the fall. l had some
daises, too, dear little things; can see
their baby faces at this moment, as they
used to look cuddling down in the grass.
Candytuft, when used with other annu-
ais, should be Sown later, as it comes into
bloom before anything else, and will be
gone before the others are out; it makes a
pretty edging for a border of perennials,
as most perennials bloom earlier than an
nuals. Nemophila, too, is an early bloom
er, and does best when sown quite early
in a seed-bed or cold-f frame.
When garden is once under way it
goes on almost of itself Many flowers
are very hardy, and sow themselves year
after year; but most will deteriorate after
while, and it is best to buy new seed fire.

Let's see, It's twelvemonths ago since first
noticed, with strange surprise,
That the darkness seem'd to grow Hghter-like
at times to my poor blind eyes,
And yearning passionate, trembling hope
crept into my heart and brain;
But never word said to the wife, lest my
thoughts should be false and vain:
Never a word l said to my love, lest her heart
should be overcast,
To know had CHERISHED a hope like this, to
find it Il myth at last;
But l quietly told my story TO VIII, as we
saunter'd up and down
The garden, and we two thought of plan for
getting me up To town.
Then I spoke to the wife of Il book I'd plann'd,
that fancied would answer well,
But wanted some talk with firm in town, to
see if they thought I would sell;
And Willie had promised to 20 with Inc and
see me through it, said,
For knew that she couldn't leave the BARNS,
I'd like her to go instead
She tried to persuade me from it at first, and
dolcfully prophesied
All sorts of accidents and mishaps, and then
she pleaded and tried
To get me to take her with us, too; but at last
settled it right
And Willie was pledged again and again not to
trust me out of his sight.
So we went to town for a week so, and
you'll easily understand
My fluttcring hopes, and doubts, and fears,
now the test was near at hand:
Enough, that one wondrous day, Saul like, the
scales dropp'd off from my sight,
And tainted i'll Willie's brotherly arms, in a
sudden burst o. light,

He led him away to n secret cave, where
mighty genii dwells,
And with curious bottles, and drugs, and
books, works wonderful cures and
spells;
And he touchd the man with his magic wand
on his poor, dark, sightless eyes,
And he saw-oh, the joy.-he saw again the
beautiful fields and skies!
He was cured, my dears-he was blind no
more; and he thought, with n happy
smile.
Il won't let her know il all at once, but keep
ii secret a whilc;n
For the dearest thought of his heart was this,
How glad the fairy will be,
And what fun | shall have with the children
now when they come to play with me-"
Well, he found the fairy waiting at home, and
she started up from her chair,
With her face all ilush'd and eager like, as
mamma : is over there;
And she pressd her hands, mamma does
now, TO her throbbng brow, just here
Why, Bessie, my darling, what is it now? how
you brighten fellow, dear'
For, all, she had read my story right, and was
sobbng on my breast
With her arms about the children and me, nv
fairy bonnie and best;
And | clasped her to my heart of hearts, while
my trimming eyes o'erran-
The truest helpmcet, the sweetest wife God
eyer gave to mani
told her all as she lay on my breast, hand low
ingly clasp'd in hand,
And then the dear children had 10 be kiss'd,
and made to understand;
And had to tell who Edic was like, with her
mothers eyes, dear heart,
And whether little Syddie was not my very
counterpart
And of course I had to be taken out around
our little dcmcsne,
Where all its beauties were pointed out, and
admired again and again;
And then, in the midst of a merry laugh or n
lightly-utter'd jest,
Poor Bessie would quite break down again,
and be weeping on my breast!
Talk of the--hem, why there she is.-that's her
knock, as sure as Il gun.
Now you take your cue from me, old man, and
: : :. I'll show you little fun:
Bessie, my dear, this gentleman here is very
old friend of mine
Mr.. Smith, Mrs c.; Mrs. c., Mr.. Smith-in
the briefless-barrister linei
lla, Ia, why, where is your memory, dear? As
the singers say, Try back
Have you quite forgotten our old playmate,
the illustrious DIR. Jack?
Hullo. what now? Well upon my word, this
really is surprise.-
Kissing another fellow, by ..Jove, under my
very eyes.
Only look at her now, old man-there's a pic
ture for YOU, eli?
Why she's getting younger, and roster, and
handsomer every day,
Come, get us some tea there's dear, good
girl, and don't stand laughing there,
And well make it a jolly meeting tonight

AND SOMEHOW WE TWO HAD WANDERED
AwAYFRoM LovE-LoRN KATIE AND WILL"
We were out 10 the fields one summers eve
how well remember it still =
And somehow we two had wandered away from
love-lorn Katie and Will,
Till we came in the dusk to the lone black
mere, where the aspen branches wave,
And she coax'd me to tell her its legend grim
SO = Of love beyond the grave
Then locke down into her soft brown eyes,
with their ~itching and lustrous spell,
And WHISPERED, Dear, I've another tale that
/ should like to tell ~
When we heard merry shout from behind,
and up came Willie and Kate,
And the loving words died out my lips, and
l knew my story must wait.
But she seem'd from that very time to grow
more shy and distant, you see;
never could meet her out alone, or tempt her
to walk with me;
And when tried to draw her aside to whisper
loving word,
Shed flush and tremble and futter away, like
% pretty frightened bird.
I saw she Stunned me, and said to myself,
with proud and passionate throe, y
'Shc loves me not, and would spare us both the
pain of telling me SO; e
And I'd rather, God knows, that my heart
- should break, in its silence bitter and
drear,
Than I'd poster woman with whispers and
VOWS that she doesn't care to hcar!'
So put away all my hopes of love, and settled
gloomiy down
To the dreary study of the law, in my cham
beers up in town;
left the lovers tender role for the sterncr
Romans part
And thought olive my passion down, and root
1t out Of my heart
But in vain, in vain; for while my eyes were
bent on the musty page,
My truant thoughts would wander away to the
pleasant parsonage,
And in fancy I'd see her winsome facc-too
winsome and fair to tell
With the soft, shy look in her lustrous eyes
that knew too we'll too WE'LL
Yet kept to my work with a logged heart
that naught could conquer or tame;
'tSince love is denied me-" bitterly said ''I'lI
make myself a name"
1 was up with the first faint streak of dawn,
with pallid and haggard looks,
And midnight found me with aching head
still bending over my books.
And you know the end,-how a mist would
clog my bIoodshot waking eyes,
And circles culver about the lights in dazzling
rainbow dyes;
Then a strange, dim blur of letters and lines,
and then-all darkness therei
And poor blind man upon his knees, in an
agony of prayer.
Oh, Jack, dear brother, twas hard-'twas
hard, so young in sorrow and strife,
To be left sightIess burden, old man, for all
my useless lifei
Never to see the sun or the flowers, nor the
starry heavens above,
Nor look in the dear home faces again, so full
Of pity and love!

Fair Promises but No Performance.

ONE of the Republican organs here
which wants to be Independent, but has
not yet made up its mind to become so,
tries to believe that the Republican party
will yet prove equal to the impossible
task of reforming itself, and thereby pre-
vent the reaction which continued career
of corruption and misgovernment must
lead to. 1t tells us that this self-reforma-
ton will be accomplished by Il steady,
uncomprOmising and vigorous warfare
upon the faithless representatives of the
Republican party who have degraded it
by the unseemly exhibition of their shame
less greed" These are very brave words,
but they are not true. There are no signs
in the Republican party of such spirit
the Democrat suggests. On the contrary
there are many signs of determination on
the part of the party to protest and Uphold
those faithless representatives who have
degraded it by the unseemly exhibition of
their shameless greed" Take the ''salary
steal" as the Democrat calls it, an eX-
ample. An effort was made in the Re
publican Senate of Illinois to suspend the
rules and pass a resolution censuring the
President and those Illinois Senators
and Representatives who voted for
that measure; but it was a stronger dose
of selfreformation than the Republicans
could swallow and so they defeated the
motion-ayes Is, noes 25-all the Demo-
cratic and Liberal Senators voting for it,
and aIthe Republican Senator's but tire yoting
against it. We think it will be admitted
that two-twenty-tit1hs is very small
amount of leaven to reform a corrupt
party with. The truth is the thing is inn
possible. To condemn the SALARY steal"
is to condemn the President who gave it
the approval without which it could not
have become n law; and that the party
will never do. The Democrat itself, with
all its pretended desire for reformation,
will not go that far. So, too, with the
Credit Mobilier briberies. The Repubi
can papers affect to denounce those who
were implicated in them; but what does
this amount to when the Republicans of
the North have made one of them Vice
President, and reelected three of them to
the next COngress-when the Republican
constituents give Cakes Ames an ovation
on his return home, and the Republican
constituents Of Mr. Coltax do the same
for him? Take the case of Pom
eroy of Kansas: The Republican
papers Joined feebly in the
denunciation of his alleged bribery but
the Republican Senate acquitted him in
the face of convincing facts, and it is
probable the Republican party of Kansas
will send him back to the Senate. What
Republican organ dares to carry its re
forming pretences to the extent of de
handing the removal of Collector Casey
of New Orleans, or any other worthless
official shielded by the Presidential favor?
What Republican journal would support
the most upright Democrat for Congress
against Mr.. Garfield or Mr.. Coltax?
Would the Missouri Democrat do it? All
the courageous talk about the Republican
masses reforming the party ''by Il steady,
uncompromising and vigorous warfare
upon the faithless representatives who
have degraded it," is empty sound. The
