MY CUP.

BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.
SAT beside darkcncd sea,
The blood rcd sunset over me,
And heard the tides roll heavily.
Then from cloud OF purple slid the moon,
And flooded that WIDE sea with silver noon,
Whcreat the surf grew white, as in swoon.
And on the path Of ripplcd shine
Came unto me shape divine,
Bearing chalicc of clear wine,
And saying: Drink! thy life il past and gone,
But God returns it, for He hath not done
His use OF thee nor heard thy coward moan.
Drink and arsel thy lips shall speak
Low words Of comfort to the meek,
~, And strength to souls afraid and weak.
!hou shalt not suffer idly or in vain;
Array thee from the armory Of pain,
And DO brave battle with the world again.
But I, dismayed as SHOWS in spring,
Cried out: "The lips that drink must sing;
Ask thou from me some other thing!
II see sorrow: and interpret it,
The rude world crieth shame that should quit
The grief feel and speak to ears unfit.
g Better to die and pass away
From the wide eyes of mortal day,
Than be lutte for all to play.
Better to hide my lips in grass and mold,
han slime s %9 9ope+ fo gold
But TRANQUILITY the angel said:
Thou livest not to die Of dread
For any word. the world hath said.
ThOn art cup held in another hand,
And If lie pour thy life out on the sand,
Shall 1t not waste, If SO He give command?
What If thy heart be barred to Sec
II thy pain serves one misery
To patient hope, why, let it be!
One whom thou darest not likcn to thy dust
(iroancd In His death with anguish and mistrust
For the whole world to hear; art thou more just
& lie made his soul sacrifice
TO human pangs, and paid their price
In open day; art thou more nice?
IT. from the millions born and dead in pain,
Thine inmoet sacred sorrow wept one stain,
Couldst thou dare veil it, suffer it in vain!
y If this were Famc's immortal drink,
What instant wOuldst thou pause and think
Before thy lips Assailed the brink?
Hut thy poor service IL no longer thine,
If lie shAll use 1t for his ends divine
Who turned mere water into fcstal winc
Arise, and put thy fears aside,
Obey and let the end abide,
Thon hast legion on thy side!'
so from the sand rose and took the draught,
And, while my lips the bitter bubbles quaffcd,
Low at my feet the soft gray pillows laughed.

Soldiers as servants.

The more the public service is probed the more
rotten 1t is found iu every part. The civil depart
ments are scandalously corrupt The navy is ut
terly demoralized
Daring the discussion of the Army bill on Tues
day. Mr.. Wheeler said tf
"The theory OF the Committee on Appropria-
tons Is that these men shall 60 to recruit the
frontier regiments. II that will not suffice, then
will tell you where there are plenty Of missing

cate servants. Put the army uniform on .hem,
ana send them to their regiments where ..ey be-
long.
IA MRMHER--That is what should be done.
"Mr. WHKELER-There is where the missing
ramrods are and there are PLENTY of them about
this capital"
This was q Republican uiterauce When the
Democratic turn came, 1t was still more explicit in
detail and more astounding as to the extent OF ths
abuse. Mr.. Potter SAID:
~ have heard itstated by a distinguished mem
Der Of the Administration party Il am not at lib
erty to give his name, but II am In error the gen.
tleman in charge of this bill will be able to correct
me, e,) that there are an the cifg of Wassingfon
alone over thousand ENLISTED men hanging
around passages and stairsoays and an domestic
seTrice. Let those men also be sent to the from
tier"
According 10 these declarations over two million
OF dollars Is spent every year to support servants
for the magnificent officers at Washington, who
are already receiving enormous pay. And what
worse In its moral effect on the service, soldiers
regularly enlistsd to protect and honor the flag
are converted into meniais and fcnkies, in order
to keep up the pretentlous state Of drawing roem
heroes. s.7 l.. 5000
When such disclosures are made concerning the
army, which has hitherto preserved higher tone
and invited less suspicion than the navy it is easy
to understand how widespread II the corruption.

"Abuse him anyhow" Is the calm determine
tion of the Radicals who control that most dis
reputable OF all the organs of the government
office holders in our State. 1t is well remembers
ed that the Milford Neps heaped ali the slander
1t could upon Senator Salisbury for pocketlng,
as 1t alleged, The "back pay" although it never
said daword in condemn atiop of Grant for taking
s25, 900 black pay" The latter was all right and
the former was all wrong-thc simple difference
being in the fact that the one Is a Democrat
the other,-wel we believe now no one knows
what he is. Bat now that this lying sheet fluids
that Senator Salisbury never drew the "back
pay" in fact never touched it, this same paper
taat abused him because {as u said he did take it,
now abases him because he did not draw ii when
he might have "done the straightforward thing !"

'Now those wlIo drew their salaries, and per-
sonally returned the same to the treasury are the
only parties who can lay any decent claim to the
extra piety which is now attempted to be aseribed
to Mr. Saulsbnry. He bad many months In which
