H@ The Boston Globe takes

GO The Boston Globe takes a
very sensible view of the wreck Of
it's party. 1t says:
"The President can do no special
act to save the party. If by saving
the party is meant saving the heads
of those who have assumed TO lead
the party and to manage the admin
istration of affairs for some time
past, it does not matter about saving
them. They are just what the peo-
pie have made up their minds to get
rid Of, and although it is natural that
they should cast about anxiously for
place of safety, it is too late; the
trumpet of doom has sounded. With
the close of General Grants admin.
istration the present era in Ameri
can politics will come to an end and
a new era will be inaugurated. II
will be an era of reform and regener
alton. Who shall be the leader:
therein? Whether it shall be tn
Democratic party regenerated, tn
Republican party regenerated, or
new party that needs no regenera
ton that shall then control affairs
is a question to be determined b.
the events of the next two years.

LOVED AND LOST.
BY 4. j. L.

I sat beside thee ere thy youth
Had felt feared decline:
When all thy life was loveliness,
And all thy beauty mine:
For, when unto the cOnch of spring
Came dreams of flower and tree,
The young years tenderest blossoms gave
Its open heart to ME.
l sat beside thee when the moon
Was sinking lone and low,
And in the garden of tie sky
Tile stars began TO blow.
Yet, pnrtr than their beams didst thou
A star within me shine:
1 only had an hour to wait
The next should make thee mine.
sat beside thee in the night;
A year had gone AVA,
Thy hand upon the coverlct
A wasted lily lay.
Thine eye cleaned like the diamond which
A dark cave slla,loweth.
And on thy cheek came forth the rose
Which only blooms in de- tll.
1 sat beside thee. love bnt thou
Vert lying mute and chill;
The fnntlrst heart that ever beat
For mine WAS cold and still.
From earth the night had worn away,
The stars had ceased to shine;
But midnight fingered in my soul,
While morning rose i'll thine.
I sat beside thee once but now
Where art thou, darling where?
l gaze into the starlit sky,
And dream that thou art there.
But torn from me, my pledge Of love,
The grave hath d,nped thine eye;
And, when miss thee from my side,
MY comfort is sigh.

Grant and Messy.

Mosby is ever turning up, like
Jack H. the-box, in peace, as III war,
to make trouble in the. Republican
camp. His latest exploit is said to
be that of persuading the, President
to restore to clerkship in the treas
ury department Miss, Amelia Jack
son of Alexandria, daughter of the
hotel proprietor who shot Ellsworth,
and was in turn shot by Brownell, at
the beginning Of the war. The ap-
pointment has caused an i'll feeling
among the. Republicans Of the CAPT
toll, who complain bitterly Of, this. re-
cognition of the confederate element,
and declare that the guerilla Mos
by has more influence with the Pres
ident than many a Republican scna-
tor. It is limited also that the effect
Of this little transaction, together
with a growing feeling on the part of
the Republican leaders that the Pres
ident is to blame for their recent de-
feat, indicate the probability of q
break between the President and his
party in congress at the approaching
session. ~ !a4
1t might be suggested that the APP
pointment of the Alexandria lady to
a place where she can make liveli-
hood is not the worst thing the Pres
ident ever did, nor the worst appoint
ment he ever made. There are some
officials in New Orleans and else
where who have done the public ser
vice and the Republican party a great
deal more harm than a hundred Vir
gina ladies could do. Why did not
E the Republican leaders who are. SO
jealous of their -party's good name
make arrow over Packard and Casey?

GRINDSToNE SPINDLES.-FOr every
mechanic who has neither steam nor
water power, it is of some Importance
to have a good method of turning his
grindstone by foot power, so that it
will not take more than one person
to sharpen a tool. Common grind
stone spindles, for this purpose, with
crank at one end, are open to the
great objection that the stone will
never keep round, because every per-
son, is inclined, more or less, to fol-
low the motion Of his foot with his
hand, which causes the pressure on
the stone to be unequal. The harder
pressure is always applied to the
very same part of the stone, and will
soon make it uneven, so that it is i'm
possible to grind a tool true. To
avoid this, put in place of the crank a
small cog wheel to the spindle, say
with twelve cogs; have another short
p in lie, with a crank and a COS
wheel of thirteen cogs to work into
| the former. The stone will MAKE
about OO7 of revolution more thar
the crank, and the harder pressure 0
the tool on the stone will change t.
another place at every turn; and tn
stone will keep perfectly round if j
is good one. This is a very simpl
Continuance, but it will be new t
many of our readers.
