If We HAD BUT a DAY.

We should Eli the hours with the sweetest
things,
If we had but day.
We should drink alone at the purest springs
In our upward way,
We should love with a life-time's love in an
hour,
If our hours were few!
We should rest, not for dreams, but for
fresher power
To be and to do.
We should bind our weary and wanton Will
To the clearest light,
We should keep our eyes on the heavenly
hills
If they lay in sight,
We should trample the pride and the discon-
tent
Beneath our feet,
We sbouId take whatever good God sent
With trust complete!
We shonld waste no moments in weak regret
II the day were but one;
n what we remember and what we forget
Went out with the sun.
We should be from our clamorous selves set
free
To work or to pray,
And 10 be what our Father would have US be,
If we had but day.

The Last Station.

He had been sick at one Il the hotels
for three or four weeks and Che boys on
the road had dropped in dailfto see how
he got along and to learn they could
render him any kindness. The brake
man was a good fellow, and pne and all
encouraged him in the hope that he
would pull through. The doctor didn't
regard the case as dangerous, but the
other day the patient began sinking, and
il was seen that he could not live the

the room when night came, int his mind
wandered and he did not recognize
them.
1t was near one of the depots and,
after the great trucks and noisy drays
had ceased rolling by, the bells and the
short, sharp whistles Of the yard engines
sounded painfully loud. The patient
had been very quiet for half an hour,
when he suddenly Enclosed his eyes and
shouted:

One of the men brushed tie hair back
from the cold forehead, and the brake
man closed his eyes and was quiet for q
time. Then the wind whirled around the
depot and banged the blinds on the win
dow of the room, and he lifted his hand
and cried out

the Saginaw Road change cars"
The men understood. The brakeman
thought he was coming east on the
Michigan Central. The effort seemed to
have greatly exhausted him, for he lay
like one dead for the next five minutes,

eyes and called out;

He had been over the road a thousand
times, but had made his last trip. Death
was drawing spectral train over the
old track, and he was brakeman, engineer
and conductor.

shrill whistle Of warning, as II the glare
of the headlights had shown to the en-
gineer some stranger in peril, and the
brakeman called out

process has not been divulged, but quick.

The Ilth instant, Governor Allen, Of
Ohio, says: "Your State and the entire
south must look TO q Democratic th-
umph in 1876 as the only guarantee Of
peace and civil liberty. We are making
the preliminary fight in this State against
most powerful combinations. bat we will
triumph In October as we will In the
Presidential race of next year" A Dem
ocratic victory in Ohio next October, will
assuredly presage Democratic defeat in
the next Presidential election; and one
Of the strongest reasons of belief that
that party will elect the next President,
would be Democratic repulse in the
Buckeye State in the present campaign.
Though in the abstract Democracy is to
be admired, yet tho principles OF that
party in Ohio are destructive to national
honor and prosperity, and deserve an
overwhelming rebuke at the polls.
