THE LITTLE nov THAT DIED.
BY JOSHUA ID. ROBINSON.

by JOSHUA d. ROBINSON.
am all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near,
And the faggot's crack, and the clocks dull tick,
Are the only sounds l hear;
And over my soul, in its solitude,
Sweet feelings of sadness glide;
For my heart and eyes are full, when think
OF the little boy that died.
went one night to my fathers house
Went home to the dear ones all,
And softly opened the garden gate,
And softly the door Of the hall;
My mother came out TO meet her son,
She kissed me and then she sighed.
And her head fell on my neck, and she wspt
For the little boy that died.
And when gaIed on his innocent face,
AS still and cold he lay,
And thought what lovely child he had been,
And how soon he must decay;
ooh, death, thou lowest the beautiful"
In the voc Of my spirit cried
For sparklOd the eyes, and the forehead was fair,
OF the little boy that died.
Again will 90 TO my fathers house,
Go home to the dear ones all.
And sadly I'll open the garden gate,
And sadly the door Of the hall;
l shall meet my mother, but nevermore
With her darling by her side;
But she'll kiss me, and sigh, and weep again
For the little boy that died.
I shall miss him when the flowers come
In the garden where he played;
shall miss him more by the Preside,
When the flowers have all decayed;
shall see his toys and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride;
And they will speak with q silent speech,
of the little boy that died.
| shall see his little sister again,
With her playmates about the door,
And I'll watch the children In their sports,
AS never did before;
And II in tho group see a child
That's dimpled and lAughing-eyed,
I'll look to see If it may not be
The little boy that died. tJtt NJ.
We shall 90 home to our fathers house
To our fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope Of our souls shall have no blight
And our love no broken ties; ....
We shall roam on the banks or the river Of peace,
And battle in its blissful tide;
And one Of the joys Of our heaven shall be
The little boy that diOd.
And therefore, when am sitting alone, i
And the midnight hour is near, 1851
When the faggot's crack and the clocks dull tick,
Are the only sounds hear
Oh, sweet DER my soul in It's solitude
Are the feelings Of sadness that glide,
Though my heart and my eyes are full as think
or the little boy that died.

The real cause Of the dcclination
of J. Wesley Barnes, as the Anti-Mo-
mop candidate for State Treasurer, is
probably not yet known. There ap-
pears about it something mysterious.
1t has been stated, and not, probably,
without some foundation for it, that
the .Anti-Monop State Central Com
mittee made draft upon him for quite
large sum of money to pay cam
paign expenses. Mr.. Barnes, as the
story runs, tried to get off with 3d.
900, but that would not do. And
now comes the Muscatine Tribune
and says that voluntary declination
saved him from removal by the CON-
mittcc. The Tribune is Of his own
party. But who ever heard of a
committee removing candidate
nominated by the party without con-
sulting the candidate or the party?
Is not that Capitalization with ven
geancc?-Stute Record.

Ainsworth the Roformer

A mans record is sometimes a very
disagreeable and inconvenient thing
when he comes to run for Office
Ainsworth is likely to find this true,
Judging by the way that the West
Union Gazette, published at his own
home, is showing up his inconsisten.
cy and demasogueism. Here is a
specimen:
Did he not say in that remarkable
Fourth of July speech of 1873, to a
surprised and grateful audience:
You know how hard we have all Ia
bored for the overthrow of Slavery?"
How refreshing this language-vcry

spoke it, and with what emotion did
the audience hear, for all remember.

such, after the manner of his kind.
he always bore testimony against Re-
publicans, denouncing them as Abo.
litionists, Black Republicans, &c:
that he howled against the Enamel.
patton Proclamation as an usurnation
and that he rent his garments and
covered himself with ashes when. in
behalf of constitutional government
musket was placed in the hands of
the negro. By such means and by
such means alone, did he labor for
the overthrow of slavery. OF course
ne assisted in the great anti.slaverv

and Judge fancy. Like these wor.
thies, he helped in the overthrow ,ofI

THE President has taken prompt
action regarding the Southern out
RACES, and dashed the hope-if any
such existed-in the minds of South
ern Democrats that he had relaxed
in his determination to defend the
rights of all American citizens, what
ever their color or condition. He
has addressed letter to the Secreta-
ry of WARM which he cbaracterizes
tho recent exhibitions Of murderous
hate and intolerance as "a disregard
for law, civil rights and personal pro-
lection that ought not to be tolerated
in any civilized government" He d.

Acknowledgement, and to take such
action for the maintenance Of per-

The Dubuque Telegraph, the edi
tor of which was a candidate for the
Autobiography nomination for Con.
gress in this District, and had consid.
cradle strength in the Convention,
has once in while spasm of good
sense and candor. In late issue it
says:
Better by far that either the Dem
ocratic party had maintained its or
ganization in this State, or given
way to the Liberal Republicans, than
to have given way to the Anti-Mo-
nopoly party, which seems to have
but one idea, and that not we'll con-
ceived. We have seen enough to
satisfy us that the Autobiography
party will be but a short-lived affair,
and that while it does live it will do
but little good for the country.
The above may be considered an
authoritative report Of the condition
of the sickly bantling, from one of
the physicians in charge.

the attorney of the Il. C. r. &. NJ.

way, is being cited by his fellow cit
liens Of Fayette county, AS an illus

man who aspired to represent the
Autobiography party in Congress
might very appropriately in this case
have sacrificed pelf for principle.

upon there will stralghtway be no

very few men Of sense who are also

"THE Coon OLD T1MEs."-We
shall soon hear from q thousand
stumps the Democratic clamor for a
return to 1.-THE good old times.
Many hungry politician will hear
the sound and believe it the promise
of the good time coming when the
cry, II am a Democrat" will open to
the faithful the latest offices of the
land. No doubt Tweed, the dethron-
ed king Of Tamnany. as he sits with
striped suit and shaved head in his
forced retirement and moralizes over
the degencracy Of the times, looks
forward to the hour when the Demo-
cratic wand shall open his prison
doors and reinstate him in the politi-
cal kingdom which he has lost. We
have no desire to welcome the return
Of the "good old times" We have
had enough Of them. They cost us
over $4,000, 900, 900 and over half a
million lives. We are doing our
best to repair the injury, and hope in
less than a score of years to wipe out
the last trace Of Democratic misrule.
We have reduced the debt nearly
$500, 900, 900 in a little over five years
end shall continue its reduction until
every cent is paid. But we protest
against the return Of the times which
forced this burden on the nation.
Once in thousand years we might
endure like experience, but TO 20
through it again during the present
century wonld tax good nature be-
yond the point of endurance. We
might live through an epidemic, be
tranquil over the escape OF Tweed,
read the details Of the Brooklyn scan
dial every day in the year, but moth
ing short of a direct interposition Of
Providence could make US submit

Undcr Which King?

The mootcd question at the pres
ent time, IN this district, has reference
to tho political affiliations of L. l..
Ainsworth, the nominee for Congress
Of the second S1cGregor convention.
There seems to be a shadowy uncer-
tainty, for which Mr.. Ainsworth is
solely responsible, whether in fact,
he has cut loose from the Democratic
party, rcnouncing the name and de-
nouncing its corruption, or whether.
while the candidate of the ant;-mo-
nopoly party, he is still a member of
the old organization,in which he has
labored 80 long and for whose fla
grant sins he has so often apologized.
We have never supposed that
.Ainsworth was, or could be anything
else than Il Democrat Of the extreme
sort, toned down 4 little in appear
ancc by the natural circumspection
Of the thorough politician and dema-
gogue, but fully impregnated by the
virus of those principles that made
the Democratic party the bulwark Of
wrong, and the natural ally of every
species of oppression. But in a
speech which he delivered at the
Delaware Anti-Monop convention
the other day, passage Of which is
reported III the Dubuque Times, he
is represented as declaring that he
is not Democrat, that "inasmuch as
the Democrats had joined hands
with the Republicans in their cor
ruption he had left them"
Now this declaration is square
enough and plain enough to be un-
dcrstood, but the very next day after
its appearance in print, we are in
formed that he is busy denying in
private the authenticity Of the
Times report of his speech. and re
pudiating the sentiments therein ex-
pressed. Now as this is a question
in which the people take some inter
est, inasmuch as they wish to know
whether they are asked to vote for a
Democrat in disguise or a genuine
Anti-Monop, we suggest that Mr..
Ainsworth cease to play double upon
this point, and that he, without any
unnecessary delay, proceed, over his
own signature, to define his political
status. If he means to win the cleo
ton fairly and to go to Congress, il
he goes at all, as the honest choice
Of the majority of the people of the
district, this much is demanded of
him. If on the other hand he hopes
70 gain votes in one place on tie
score of his Democracy, and in an
ether by virtue of having repudiated
Democracy, he will observe a dis
erect silence respecting his present
or prospective political affiliations.

HAIG1s is the name of the victim
selected to fill the direful gap made
by the detection of Barnes from the
Anti-Monop ticket. 1t is useless to
ask: "Who is Hargis," for that is
one Of the things TINT no fellow
knows, you know. 1t is enough to
say that he was dug up for this spec
ial occasion, and that he will make a
good enough mile stone on the Anti
Monop road to defeat. Doubtless
some arrangement was made for his
payment of \ share Of Weart's cleo
ton expenses, though probably the
example Of Barnes has taught the
interprising financier at the head of
the committee not to set the figure
so high in future.
