The statue and the Grave.

There is q statue in the West
OF one old Roman leader,
Whose thirty years Of Senate work,
Entrance the reverent reader;
He looks along the railroad line
AS II to give reminder,
What time Fremont, his ardent son,
That way became path finder.
IT'S well the great old man is dead,
And does not know the error,
That brought upon his daughters heal
The worst of shame and terror,
When to the grave her body went
Pray God her sool be risen!-
And midst his orphan children bent
The Baron just from PRISON.
The highest ways of public life
Are ever swept by sorrows,
And In to-day's remorseless strife
Glide all the gilded morrows.
The NEST imperial schemes of good
By precipices hasten,
The troubles OF intrepid souls
Sink deep but do not chasten.
And yet the work of man goes on,
The race La ever humming;
For every volunteer that's gone
A hundred more are coming;
The statue In the Western sky
Will point the way to glory,
When on the martyred woman's grave
Fades out her fearful story.

Der Gull-yer.

Der Gull-yer.
BEPIo By linton.
Ter Gullyer from Chicago came,
To strike Columbians,
And qu0th, "These rustics, ere 20,
Will know the matter with Hanaah!"
To portly Chit, his lobby hand,
He saith ga contract get me,
And wen knock down, you understand,
Or else you may sub-let me-"
The portly Chit, at his hotel,
Fell in with one wise teacher
A most uncommon knowing swell,
And exc with him q preacher.
Together their three heads they shake,
And say "we're lean as famine;
So let us from these rUstIcs make
Unris hteousness of Mammon!"
Two learned doctors in the law
Explained their process syren,
The splendors OF their wooden pave,
That lasted long as iron.
And they, meanwhile, went up and down,
On various people paving;
Reporting progress all the while,
And on Der Gullyer drawing.
Up spout they showed his notes of hand;
he saith: such are no losses;
III lay such pavements a. L please,
Since Chit. has bribed the Bosses"
But when this message he received,
How did Der Gullyer dwindle?
Your contract has been forfeited,
Because it is swindle!"
In vain the great Doolittle wrote:
Your honor you imperil!'
To platitudes of patent men
Columbls's soil was sterile.
Der Gullyer gave the press his tale,
And exc to the committee;
And cried: "Recover my black mail
From yon audaciOus city,"
They dragged the portly Chit. from home:
He fetched his lawyer with him.
The Kaw-respondents danced jig,
And said: "Now comes the rythm!'
He only knew he got his part,
And the Swell got the remainder;
The parson got part OF the tart,
And Der Gullyer the bill of attainder.
Then hoarsely cried the Western press;
They've played US Ike We do il
Bring forth the missing Eastern swell,
Or dearly will ys rue it!''
His host the missing swell produced,
Like any small Isgo,
" no meekly said: az took the notes
And put them on Chicago!
"Ne more Der Gullyer did rob,
Than he would roo your CITY;
No more L wrought TO do his job
Than you on this Committee.
An old Masonic friend we slew,
Like spsrrowhaSks we picked him,
But aye the purSst character
Becomes the lobby's yieum!"

No man ever defends himself. Other
people have to. About two weeks ago L was
riding past q gentleman's house in X street
when saw good looking man, who formerly
boarded at the Arlington hotel and drove two
tine horses. He entered the house, and said
TO friend who was riding with me, 81 wonder
II that Is not Kirkland; the missing philos0-
Pher." The testimony said that Kirkland used
TO board at the Arlington hotel and keep two
dine horses. The next thing l knew, the
deputy Sergeant-at-Armsw was looking after me
TO know the Whereabouts OF Kirkland. Next,
my name was thrice brought up before the In
vestigatiDg Committee, to know whether had
not seen Kirkland, Next, the strictly evan
gelical part OF the telegraphic corps exuded the
impression that was the master genius who
had spirited Kirkland out of tewn. Then went
to the theater with Mr.. TTowbrldge of New
York, and city sheet alleged that had spent
the night at the play with Kirkland. Now
want Kirkland to send ms his photograph, for
had much rather be in Kirtland's company,
than in that OF number of young men who
lay down the moral law to American men.
