THIRD TERN PLATFORM,

Since it is stated that General Grant n-
tends to run for third term. it is time that
the platform should be announced. 1t will
be as follows:
/. Grant to be reelected as many times
as he desires. Or, if he should conclude to
be President for life, that that shall be ar
ranged to suit bi,n
H. His salary and peruuisites to be
doubled Immediately after each four years.
Ill. Mileage TO be allowed him at the
rate OF 50 per mile for all his journeys willie
President. A law to be passed compelling
al railroads and steamboats, to transport him
free, and all hotels to entertain him without
charge.
Nv. Every horse that can trot in 2:2O;
or under, to be his property without paying.
as a token of public and private gratitude.
Y. Lieutenant Colo f. ID. Grant to be
General of the Army in the place of w. T.
Sherman, dissatisfied.
vi. The financial policy of the country
to be settled on alternate principles of re-
sumption and initiation, at the discretion of
the President. thus we shall move toward
contractions and specie payments until the
price OF gold is brought low; and then we
will have a burst of imitation until it is up
| again. BY applying the one and The other
OF these measures with prudence, the Presi-
dent will be able in time to save something
handsome, as he ought.
VII. In the new Cabinet, Babcock to be
Secretary of State, Boss Shepherd, Secretary
OF Treasury, Kellogg, OF Louisiana Secreta-
ry of War, and W. IL. Kemble, Postmaster
General. Deano, Laudaulet, Williams,
and Secor Robeson, to remain as they are.
VIII. No more high offices to be de-
graded by being conferred in return for paltry
gifts of 81 600. The ready money rates
paid in Nevada for places in the Senate to be
adoped as the standard of value of these
great honors Of the Government. All re-
ceipls from such sources 10 be the personal
property of the Chief Magistrate
TX. Ali newspapers that do not praise
the President and his personal friends and
relations, to be instantly suppressed, and
'heIr editors, publishers, reporters, and cor
respondents to he imprisoned for life in the
county Jail of Washington city.
X. All such criminals to be brought to
Washington For trial before a court appointed
for that purpose by the President.
With a candidate so popular as Grant,
and with such principles and such policy
honestly and frankly presented, there can be
30 doubt of the result. He will be triumph-
antly reelected, erybody will be happy,
and the reform of the civil service will then
commence -Ne,o York Sup.

DREAM.
Oh, beautiful dreams of love,
Coming from heaven above;

Oh, beautiful dreams of love.
Coming from heaven above;
Sweetest of earthly bliss,
To be lost in dream like this.
Forms OF loved ones appear,
The aching heart to cheer.
AS in the days of yore,
My mother is passing DER;
Her dark hair just brushing my face,
AS she clasps me in loving embrace;
Her warm lips Gle Sc pressed to my own,
And depths of love unknown,
Gushing ap from that loving heart.
In her dear arms used to lie,
flushed by her sweet lullaby, ~
Which, like the cooling of the dove
Breathing of pure mothers love,
Pressed the magic power
To soothe the soul to slumber.
Oh. mother! these years have flown.
Far, far from thee roam.
The hills of my native home
Tower up like some hallowel dome.
In the vast space of vision
Thy voice seem to hear;
But, Oh! thou art not near;
Fates stern decision.
The charms of love that hath bound us,
Shedding its radiance round US,
May not be broken.
The fond words thou hast spoken,
Within my heart are treasured,
Vows of a love not measured
And often in the gloom.
Like flowers sweet perfume, '
Sweet thoughts of thee arise; N.t
And of childhood S many joys.
Over my heart the years that have gone,
No love like thine, mother, ever hath dawned
Bind that love up with firm, lasting cord;
Carefully treasure each low spoken word,
And close the sweet dream.
