.cAsTLFs IN TKE AIR.

THIS world is but a bubble.
There's nothing here but woe.
Hardship, toll and trnnb!e,
No matter where We go;
Do what we viii, go whore VIC mar,
We're never free from care.
Fer, at the best. this world
Is but castle in the air.
We arc tossed npon the sea of life.
Just like little boat,
Where some get cast upon the rocks,
Ard never get afloat;
BIT sill Wen do the hest we can,
And never let despair
C-urp the place between us
And our castles in the air!
There's n name known DER the world,
To EaGlshmen most dear.
And well may they be proud of him,
Their native bard ShakespeAre;
When FIRST his rlays came on the stage,
They made the whole world stare,
ACi vet they were composed
While building castles IN the ar.
II Won take the works of shakespeare.
And study them well through,
You'll find each saving is so wise
Each sentiment So true
Thew make Won feel while reading them,
As If you had hpen there:
t. the immortal Shakespeare
Built his castles in the air.
The IRISH had their poet. too:
They loved him wA1l. I'm sure;
lie was true born Irishman,
His name was Thomas Moore;
Or the troubles % thia world,
Wa know ne had his share.
But Moove was always happy,
Building castles In the ar.
He sang the rights of Ireland.
He sang against her wrongs,
AID rnanv a pItrent heart
Still cherisres his sOrgs:
I!e babe the Irish heart rejoice,
And never more despair,
A I'd for Ireland in the future
Built bright castles in the air,
and vet there is another name,
To Scotchmen dearer still,
Aud through each true Scottish heart
Twill make the blood to thrill;
His name was Robert Burns;
Yet he. too. had his care
When Iut u simple shenherd.
Building castles III the air!
HIS home. Lowry DlougEman's cot,
Where strife was never seen;
For happy and contented lived
Robert with his jean;
Dawn hv the banks % honny Doom,
Near the town o AYR.
Natures roet Rohby Burns,
Built castles in the air
And vet there is another name
Americans adore.
A statesman il the tire of peace,
a lion when in war:
With tie storm on Bunker Hill,
Or on the Delaware,
Ills genius made his soldiers
Build bright castles in the air.
And. in his countrv's darkest hour,
H. 5ravelv led the van.
And stTove to make America
The best of any land:
Tho he was not poet born
He planned With skill and care
The immortal Washington
BuI Z castles IN the Dir.

rotary of state, BENJAMIN +. Wells, of Williams

The following is
THE PLATFORM.
1. Tnwavering devotion and fidelity TO the
constitution of the United States, the only
guarantee OF rights for all races, coors and con-
ditions OF men. To this end. and TO secure per-
feet harmony and reconciliation by which on
the union can be MAINTAINED. We openly de-
IOunce all federal interference with popular
elections ofthose who, under any pretence or
guise, disgrace themselves and Their country by
lawless acts OF violence against the colored race
In the Southern States, as also those carpet bag
gers who have for years past eaten up the sub
stance of the people they have oppressed and
deceived.
p Speedy resumption OF specie pay
ments alike demanded by honor and recog-
niz by all civilized nations of the world as the
only sound and healthy basis of the currency.
3. Firm and unwavering opposition a., 10 70
of coercion and prohibited, two agencies of des-
potism and arbitrary power. and we especially
oppose the so-called prohibitory law and it ac-
evil, alike to private and public morals
4. A straight, judicous and efficacious
law for the restriction and regu alton OF the sale
OF Intoxicating liquor imDartially and hfully
enforced, is the only practical legal restraint
against the evil of intemperance.
