fThis poem was written by "Stella" Mrs.
Estelle Anna Lewis., at the age of fourteen,
Poe said it was "the most beautiful ballad
he remarked. amore than twenty times.
and always with increasing ad ioiration."
And on the strength Of this opinion we re-
print it.
1t hath beer said foi all who die
There is a tear;
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh
Ger every bier.
But in that hour of pain and dread
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear?
Who'd watch life's departing ray
In deep despair,
And soothe my spirit on its way
With holy prayer?
What mourner round my bier will come,
In weeds of woe,
And follow me to my long home,
Solemn and slow?
When lying on my clayey bed,
In icy sleep,
Who there, by pure affection led,
Will come and weep;
by tne pale moon I'm piant bne rose
Upon my breast,
And bid it cheer my dark repose-
My lowly rest?
Could but know, when am sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round,
AS If some gem lay shrined beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
Twould mitigate the pangs Of death
And light the tomb.
Yes! in that hour, if could feel
From halls of glee
And beauty's presence one would steal
In secresy,
And come and sit and weepDy me
In nights deep noon,
Oh! would ask of memory
No other boon. ... -.
But ah! a lonelier fate is mine,
deeper woe; 1.t4
From all love in youths sweet time
I soon must go; .. ...
Drawn round me my pale robes of white
In dark spot
To sleep through deaths long, dream
sf5 less night,
lone and forgot.

The Democracy will never feel quite
safe SO long as Senator Morton lives.
His mere existence is regarded by
them az a constant menace. To their
inflamed imaginations he is the very
incarnation Of everything malignant,
fendish and destructive. Although
the Senator is known to his friends as
ono of the most amiable and kind
hearted men, to the Democratic mind
he appears RS a horrible monster,
whose greatest delight is in stirring
up bloodshed, and whose sole diet is
boiled Conservatives and roasted
Democrats No matter where he goes
this wild suspicion follows him. just
now he is at Hot Springs, Arkansas,
in search of rest and health. Proba-
bly, he never was more anxious TO be
at peace with "all the world and the
rest of mankind but the Democrats
are conjuring untold horrors out of
his sojourn there They see blood on
the moon and smell disaster in the
air. We have received a copy of the
Little Rock Gazette cont: lining a
lengthy article entitled 'Checkmate
to the Devil" in which the terrible
significance of Senator Morton's visit
to Hot Springs is vividly set forth.
He is there to stir up bloodshed and
strife, to put the Ku-Klux machinery
in running order, to foment a war,of
races, to subjugate the State, etc. If
it were possible to do anything to al
lay the fears Of the Democracy, and
relieve them of this terrible night
mare, we should like to see it done.
But it can't be done. They will never
feel really secure while Morton lives.

JOHN WESLEY'S WIFE.


Scandal Against a Great Preacher n
Hundred Years Since.
The assault upon the name and
fame of Henry Ward Beecher re
calls the story of similar attack
upon the apostolic and sanity man,
John Wesley The charges were
similar and groundless beyond the
shadow of o doubt. They were oc.
casioned by the senseless jealousy
of Wesley's igncrant wife. and were
caught up by rival sectaries and
even entertained by the public
press. Wesley disdained to notice
the slander, Notwithstanding the
agitation and distress of his broth
er Charles Wesley, of other mems
bers of the family, and of the dig
nitaries of the church. We find
our narrative in the "Life and
Times of the Rev. John Wesley"
by the Rev. L. Tyerman, published
by Harper & Brothers in 1872, in
three volumes, and reprint it for the
purpose of showing that men of
spotless lives and the most exalte
character are liable to the same
abuse and slanders as have befallen
the pastor of Plymouth Church.

but there Is not the least atom OF
evidence of any other indiscretion
on his part.
In February, 1855, Wesley wrote
to Sarah Ryan: "Your last letter

The Indianapolis Sun, the Stat

will avail the Republicans nothing
to drag forward the anti war record
of Democratic candidates. The ed.
itor of the Sun will not live long
enough to see the time when the
soldiers of Indiana will forgive the
snaxling ours who stabbed them in
the back. The soldiers have for
given the enemies who bravely met
them on the battle fields of tho

A Frenchman while walking on the
track of the Jeffersonville, Madison
and indianapolis Railroad, near
Henryville, Ind, at 10 clock on the
10Th of August, was attacked by three
men, who took his pocket-bonk. con-
tanning FIVE dollars, and then tied him
on the track with ropes over small
culvert, and left him. He succeeded
in getting the ropes that held his
body united. but before he got those
that held his left foot loosened an ap-
preaching passenger train was upon
him. He, in this desperate moment,
threw his body off the track, the train
passing over and severing his leg from
his body. lie fell into the culvert,
crawled out, lay there all night, and
was picked up in the morning, taken
to Jeffersonville, where he revived
sufficiently to make the above state
ment, relapsed, and died at 9a. m.

WINCHESTER. IND, Sep 1.-Hons.
B.. T. Claypool and W. S. Holman
held their first joint discussion here
to-day, the latter opening with a
speech of over an hour and quarter,
and the former replying with an argu-
ment over an hour and a quar- ter in
length. Holman closed with speech
of fifteen minutes. Both we're parlia-
mentary, but Claypool made scathiDg
reviews Of Holman's record, putting
him on the defensive. Holman con-
fined his first speech to the currency,
public lands and the growth of the
public expenditures, but intimated in
closing that hereafter he should re-
view the corruptions of the Republi-
can party. Claypool spoke with great
earnestness, and was frequently and
loudly applauded. It is thought for
once Holman has got his match, and
will be glad to cry quits by the time
the engagements are all filled.-Indi-

4 GOOD WORD FROM HOLLAND.
De Nederlansche Fj4uaciel Of
July llth, published in Amsterdam,
and which is the leading financial
journal Of that city, contains the fol
lowing paragraph in relation to the
st. Paul & Pacific railroad:
st Paul & Pacific Railroad -
"NeW York papers report the fol-
lowing from ST. Paul papers of June
goth: Saturday Judge Hall gave a
decision in the matter Of the al
tempt Of the Holland boudbolderS
to have receiver appointed for the
st. Paul Il Pacific railroad, on the
ground that the company was inSol-
vent, and that the management
could not be trusted. The Judge
refused to grant this demand, be-
cause everything brought forward
proves that the company /, not IN
solvent, and that there is sufficient
security for the bonds, and that the
road is administered well and hon
estly. Under these circumstances
the appointment OF a receiver would
be against the interests OF the per-
sons themselves who made the re
quest. This information agrees with
a communication in the last mum Der
of the New York Handles Zeitemg.
This paragraph is especially sig
nifcant, as showing > returning dis
position on the part of the EIndR-
cier-which for a year or two has
been prejudiced by misinformation
against the management of the St.
Paul i Pacifc-to recognize the
honesty and efficiency with which
its affairs have been administered
by President George l.. Becker and
his associates in the management.
Our readers will recOllect the com
plete exculpation which Mr.. Beck
er's management OF the St. Paul u
Pacific interests received at the
hands Of the L. S. District Court
last year from the charges of Will
mar and others, and the high com
pliment which was paid him by
Judge Dillon on that occasion.

Holland bankers, whose views are

not be premature u hailing this i'm

The enterprising, vigorous and
progressive states have then, nearly
all, a large proportion of foreign
population: New York, PennsyIva-
MIA, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts,
California, Iowa, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, and Wisconsin. This fact is
but the assertion which states make
to the well recognized fact chat an
intermixture of blood is the only
way Of perpetuating the vigor Of Il
race, nation or family. Some Of the
old families of England and France
are 10th to mix their aristocratic
blood with other families, and, TO
prevent this, encourage the marriage
of cousins and distant relations. 1t
is a physiological fact that the fami-
ly always declines; that it is often
times childless; and that disease
and corruption get into the family
blood and gather in destructiveness
during successive generations. 50
it will be with states.

SPRING AND WINTER WHEAT

The three states, Minnesota, Wis
consin and Iowa, raised about 70,-
600, 900 bushels OF wheat in the har-
vest Of 1878. But Of all that
amount we do not suppose there was
more than 5000, 900 bushels Of winter
wheat, or one-fourteenth OF the whole
crop. Now, if the spring wheat in
these three states should prove in
the harvest Of 1874 to be far below
IN average, there viii be a larger
deficiency Of the wheat crop of
1874 throughout the United States
than can be made up by the quaint

Judge Williams rendered a de-

the heirs of the late Stephen A.
Douglas for the recovery of certain
property said to have illegally alien
ated from them. The ground OF
action was that the executor Of the
estate had an interest in sale
which was made by him. The
Court awarded the property sold to
Robert and Stehpen Douglas, de-
barring the widow from pariicipa-

estate. The uncle, who was very
wealthy, left but two heirs, Mrs. Gen.

General Bristow was made by the
will sole executor of the estate, and
his business in Kentucky was TO
make arrangements to enter upon
his duty as executor. Mrs. Brlstow,
under this will, thus comes into the
possession of about 100000.
