Thou OF the sunny head, i
With lilies garlanded.
And bosom fairer than the blown sc a-foam;
o Spring, In what waste q sert dost tnou stay
While leaves await thy presence TO unfold:
And ali Imprisoned is The crocus' gold
Come, sweet enchantress, come!
Though In the sombre west
The ar ha h lit it's crest
Pale phosphor, fronting full the withered moon.
The violets are sepultured in snow,
Thy daisies twinkle never in the sun,
Rude winds throughout the ruined orests
And silent is the doves melodious moan
EnchantreSs, hasten soon.
White are the country ways,
And white and tangled maze,
Loved OF the oxlip and the creeping thyme;
Bare shakes the poplar on the sulien ridge,
Hoarse torrents stream beneath the ivied
bridge,
Enchantress, bless our cline.
No bloom of dewy morn,
No freshly -blossomed thorn,
Gladdens the importunlngs Of sad eyes;
The day wastes dreaily, through cloud and
Over the watered meadows and dark wales
The night comes down impetuous and fleet,
And ships and cities shiver in the gales
fair enchantress, rise;
Arise, and bring with thee
Inc rathe bud Tor the tree,
The healing sunshine for the tram pied grass;
Loose tendrils for the boughs which bless
the caves,
And shield the swallows in the rainy hours,
The pendent flames which the laburnum
heaveS,
And faint scents for the wind-strred lilac flowers
Enchantress, breathe and pass.
Men knew, and kissed, of old,
Thy garments's glittering fold
Thy radiant footprint on the mead or waste:
Earth kindled at thine advent-altarsb burned
And ringing cymbals babe the hearLhS be gay
But now, in sunless solitude inurned,
Thou leav'st the world unto reluctant day.
r Oh haste, enchantress, haste!
The lark shall sing again,
Between the sun and rain,
The brown bee through the lowered pastures
roam,
There shall be music in the frozen woods,
gurgling carol in the rushing brook,
An odor in the half-unbOsomed bud,
And dancing fox gloves In each forest nook
Then come, enchantress, comet

"Yon glorious bow
OF freedom, Bonded by the hand Of God,
is spanning times dark surges.
Ever IL il as the years glide 10y
That some, in their vain repining,
BewaiI the loss of the olden times
When kfndlier suns were SHINING
They Gee in to-day no virtuous soul; -ab
And, clad in the raiment of sorrow, fF,r7
they shut tile doors OF their aching hearts
And. signing, turn from tomorrow
They have no faith in the human heart
In its generous deed AMI action,
Believing il firmer bound each day
In the letters of selfish faction.
They saw that the man Is a hardened wretch
Is q lost abandoned creature:
He giving the reinS To sin and crime
They give TO the ages feature.
How dark are the pictures crimson dyes!

When at the lest sinful world
Shall own the work of salvation,
His brow shall wear, as its conqueror,
The laurels of coronation.
And. true 10 the Masters high command,
He leads where the affairs, blazing,
Illumine the mountains lofty peaks,
Where the eye of faith Is gazing.
With vision turned TO the beacon light
THE Sumuaft he nears though slowly: .-
His march is over the mangied forms
or creeds and dOgmas unholy.
And ever the world itself moves on
To this mark OF high endeavor,-
Its chariots glitteriDg blades OF steel
The ranks OF oppression sever.
BEFORE them fall the proud and the great
The kings of their own appointing,
Whose heads are moist with the liquid drops
OF satan's vile amounting.
The chair of Empires fallen state
Is robed in its faded glory;
The naughty heart of the sceptred one q
Eeats low meath the ermIne CORY.
The conouering tread of the peoples might
Over tyranny's grave is sounding,
The choaS of whose shattered realms
Into freedoms form is rounding.
Tie chains are broken that bound the slave.
The oppressed eXult, discerning
Hopes radiant star, like signal blaze
Ger the surgeS OF darkness burning
Already the gates of morning glow
Win the sunbeam's golden sple ndor:-
The shield of the vanishing night is pierced
With iJs lances tall and slender.
In lieu of the midnight's rayless gloom
That brooded once DER the ages
Behold the heralding flame OF day
The flash of the printed pages!
And soon through the orients azure bars
The day shall glitter resplendent,
Flooding the world that slumbers below
With light, indeed, transcendent.

LET THE PEOPLE READ AND BEWARE OF
KELKOGG's FUNDING BILL.

There are but few of our citizens
who realize the Importance Of the pro-
posed amendment to our State con-
stitution. The question presented to
the suftragans is one Involving the
most vital interests to our State. II
the amendment should be accepted it
will have the effect of forever here
after precluding any inquiry into that
class Of Indebtedness known to he
fraudulent, and neither the courts nor
the legislature can give US any aid,
no matter how iniquitOus may be the
claim or how yillainous the account.
Every citizen should consider that
his vote on this question will have
the effect of either saddling Us with
the burdens imposed upon us by the
infamous usurpation or freeing Us
from their paralyzing effect. We
have hitherto shown in the columns
of this paper that over $5,0OO,OW of
the States indebtedness is notorious
]y fraudulent, and how much more it
is impossible to say. 1t the amend.
ment should be adopted, all this and
much more will become the bona fde
obligations Of the State, and our citi-
zens compelled to pay them notwith-
standing they know the same to he
but the issue of the coMspirators and
nlnnderers Of thc:people. Let every
man see that he votes against this
mOnstrous measure. Let every one
note that this is the last gasping
breath Of the horde and mongrel
pack of thieves who seek to perpetu-
ate their robberies in this fair State
OF Louisiana.

Platform Of the White Peoples
Party.

We, the white people of Louisiana, EN-.
bracing the Democratic Party, the Con-
sentative Party, the White Mans Party,
the Liberal Party, the Reform Party and
all Others opposed to the Kellogg usur-
patton do solemnly resolve and declare:
J. That the government now existing
in Louisiana originated in, and has been
maintained by force and fraud, in oppo-
sition to the will Of q large majority of
the voters of the State; in opposition to
the principles Of the Constitution Of the
United States and in violation of every
principle Of justice and liberty.
2 That the dominant faction Of the
Radical party in this State has, by false
and fraudulent representations, inflamed
the passions and prejudices of the ne
grOes, as a race, against tho whites, and
has thereby made it necessary for the
white people to unite and act together in
self-defense and the preservation Of white
civilization.
3. That the rights of all men under the
Constitution and laws of the land must
be respected and preserved inviolate, il.
respective of race, color or previous con
dition, but We deny that Congress can
Constitutionally enact laws to force the
two races into social union or equality.
4. That the white people of Louisiana
have no desire to deprive the colored
people of any rights to which they ore en-
titled, but we are convinced that the re-
forms imperatively demanded, can be
effected only by electing to office white
men Of known capacity and integrity,
and we believe that large numbers Of
colored citizens will vote with us to se-
cure government which must he bene-
fetal alike to both races.
5. That We disclailn earnestly any in
tention Of carrying, Or attempting tt car
~, the approaching election by Violence,
and that charges to this effect emanating
from our Radical enemies, are without
foundation and are falsely made for the
purpose o: obtaining the aid of the mil
itary force Of the United States in order
to over-awe the people, perpetuate the
existing usurpation and subvert the true
principles of the government.
6. That W P. Kellogg is mere usurp.
er and we den6nnce him a. such, that hie
government is arbitrary, unjust and on.
pressive and that II can maintain It.
self only through Federal interference.
7. That the election aud registration
laws under which this election is beiua
conducted were intended to perpetuatt
the usurpation by depriving the peopl,
aud especially our natr rallied citizens O
On opportunity to register and vote, hui
we announce, distinctly, that it is til,
determination Of the people to have
fair aud FREQ election and to see that tn,
result is not changed by fraud or violence

For more than half a century the
Saturday Evening Post has been the ,
GREAT LITERARY WEEKLY

intention to make it still better in the
future, and with this object in view we
will effect marked improvement in eve
ry department of the paper, and will
call to our assistance writer's of admitted
ability and known reputation.
by increasing its former attractions,
and adding many judicious and pleas
ing novelties, by studying how to please
and cultivate the popular taste, by in.
creasing industry and enterprise, and by
enlarged facilities, we hope to make new
friends with each and every issue, and
continue to maintain the claim of the
Saturday Evening Post to its title Of The
OLDEST AND THE BEST Of Family Story
