DenlOralEZed.

In a recent copy Of the St. Paul
Press We find the following: "W,ith
the settlement Of the great vital issues
which until recently divided and ami
mated the two great political parties,
party organization has lost its cohesive
power. The Republican party Is apa-
thetic and demoralized."
About one year ago the JOURNAL
was taken soundly to task by many Of
Its cotemporaries for advancing pre-
cisely the same opinion. and in nearly
the same words 1t declared that the
party contained within itself the ele-
ments of its own dissolution; and, if
the Press is authority upon this point,
the JOURNAL was correct in its predic-
tions. If this was political heresy in
the JOURNAL then, what shall be said
of tn, Press to-day?
That the Republican party in this
state was then not only demoralized,
but corrupt, required not the eye of a
prophet to discern, or the head of a
seer to foretell. Neither could any
thing better be SAID of the old Demo.
cratic party. We predicted a revolu.
ton out of which we hoped might grow
reform. The revolution came, but
whether reform will be the Legitimate
result of 1t, remains to be seen But
we have no apprehensions of a worse
thralldom, or worse fate than that
which hung over us. The people of
the state had very little voice in the
management of its political affairs. A
ring at Madison, dictated by few
"stars" at Washington, had for a few
years before, doled out TO the people all
they were allowed to share of political
freedom, and the time had fully come
when that ring should be deposed.
Whatever turn the political affairs of
this state may hereafter take, there
will be an Improvement upon the old
regime.

On Sunday in July;
| was reading by window
By a window, reading, l.
Tb"n at once lay my book down,
thought of CHARLOTTE on the hill
''Quaker Hill" they said the place was,--
Sought CHARLOTTE on the hill.
Quickly paced through the meadow,
Over hill and valley sped,
Crossing Ayers brook, they called it,
Thence the road TO CHARLOTTE led.
Then at length the summons bearing,
Brought my Grand dame to the door,
With surprise 81 ne raised her glasses,
Glasses she so long had wore.
"Welcome here" she said quite gaily,
welcome TO my house to-day,
There is one who waits to see you
See you on this summer day."
Pleased was with this kind welcome,
Welcome of my Grand. dame there,
But more joyous was the greeting =
Greeting of this lady fair.
Yes, thrill of joy ran through me,
Through me as grasped the hand
Yea, the hand that was extended
In its touch a magic wand.
Then no longer was lonesome,
Then no languor on my brow:
Time few by with mngic swiftness,
Hours were changed to moments now.
Next we sought the garden gaily,
Garden sought we on that day,
There were pansies fresh and blooming,
Blooming pansies fresh were they.
There we plucked the ripened cherries,
Cherries plucked we which we shared,
While nay Grand dame in the kitchen,
Now the evening meal prepared.
Then the shades Of evening falling,
my morning steps retraced,
Quickly sped down the hillside
Quaker hillside down paced;
Sought again the brook of Ayers,
Sought the meadow green aud fair;
Darkness would have gathered round me,
But the swe ct moonlight was there.
Years have fed since that sweet Sunday,
Lonesome hours have sped away;
Now ny Cheeks are furrowed somewhat,
Now my hair is growing gray;
Now beside me in our cottage,
Far from scenes of that sweet day,
Sits beside me graceful CHARLOTTE
Yes, my graceful CHARLOTTE MAY.

Planting a Strawberry Bed.

No farm garden should be without an
ample strawberry bed, since it is much
cheaper to cultivate them than to depend
upon the wild fruit for the table. One Of
the great mistakes in this culture is in
planting the vine in beds and too closely
together. Three feet apart between the
rows and twelve inches apart in the rows
is near enough together. If the runners
are kept carefully cut, the stools of plants
will entirely fill the rows and nearly the
spaces between the rows by the autumn
of the first season.
The plants should be planted as early
in the spring as the soil will admit work
ing, leaving only the leaves and central
bud exposed. Five hundred plants will
give an ample supply of fruit for a large
family, and, If Wilson's Albany is select
ed, you may be assured of uniform crops
of fair fruit, if kept clean and covered
with mulch during the winter. In the
spring let the buds retain the mulch as
long as possible, at least until the plants
show signs of growing beneath. Then
remove from over the plants, leaving
the mulch intact between the rows

Force Of Imagination.

AN esteemed friend of ours heard much
of the medical properties of the water of
certain spring some distance from where
she resided She had read pamphlet
that enumerated many diseases for which
it was specific, among which she recog-
nized al least half dozen with which she
was afflicted. Much to her JOY she was
told that her son had call at the very
town where the spring was located, and
five gallon keg and strict injunction
were laid upon him to bring back some
of the water.
The keg was put into the wagon and,
slipping under the seat, was quite over
looked. The business was urgent and
took some time to perform, and the
wAer was quite forgotten. He had got
near home in the evening when, feeling
down under the seat for something, he
felt the keg. To go back was not to be
thought of, and to admit his stupidity was
impossible.
He therefore drew his horse up by the
side of wall near which was the old
sweep well from which the family had
drank for century, and, filling the keg,
went home.
The first question was
"Did you get the water?"
eyes" said he, "but can't see any
difference in it from any other water"
and he brought in the keg.
A cup was handed the invalid, who
drank with infinite relish, and said she
was surprised at her sons not seeing any
difference. There was undoubtedly a
medical taste about it, and it did not fill
her up as other water did, which she had
always heard Of mineral water.
Her son hoped it would do her good,
and by the time the keg was exhausted
she was ready to give certificate of the
value of the water, it having relieved her
of all her ails.-HousehoId.

The Invaiid--A PEN Picture.

Sec her pallid countenance, but short time
ago the picture OF rudy health, the envy OF
the school and the pride Of the household.
She was always welcomed 10y her schoolmates,
for her 1.-the form and pleasing disposition
carried cheerfulness into their ranks. Dill
gent, punctual and exemplary, obedient and
graceful at home, she won the hearts of all.
But alas we are sorrowed Those rosy
cheeks and rudy lips are blanched by Con-
sumption. The voice once so enchanting in
laugh and song is feeble, husky and sup
planted by hollow cough. Let us approach
her couch gently and take her hand. Do not
shudder because Of the feeble and passionless
grasp. The hand once SO hearty and plump
is emseiated and shows bony outlines, while
the cords and tortuous veins are plainly
mapped upon the surface. The pulse that
bounded with repletion, carrying yigor to
the whole system, and imparting life, beauty,
vivacity, health and strength, Is delicate To
the touch. eThe feeble heart cannot propel
the thin, scanty blood with force. Must
we lose her while yet in her teens
Companions and friends gather around
with words of cheer and consolation,
and depart with moistened eyes and silent
steps. Must we lose herr No! there Is relief!
We can stay this destroyer OF our happiness
and not suffer the loss OF so bright gem.
Something more is required now than dietary
and hygienic observance, for nature calls for
aid and she shall have it. Take this pleasant
medicine. 1t is inyigorating. How II ailays
the irritable cough, improves the appetite and
digestion, and sends healthy Jingle through
the frame. The blood is enriched, nervous
force increased, and the heart bounds with
new impulse. See her face brighten by de-
grees; the color Is returning, her voice Is
getting clearer, and pleasant words are
spoken. The strength faiters yet, but Is
gaining. Let US take her out in the warm
sunshine In short time she will be able TO
go without our aid, cheerful girl. This de-
lightful medicine must be God-blessed. II Is
restoring health to our loved one. She Is
emerging from her sickness sweeter and
Dobler than before, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery must have the credit. 1t
has raised her.

DoN'T TAMPER WITH A CoLD.-Perhaps In

who have paid dearly for experience, il Is the
