Aud tho thousand road these lines,
But twain shall understand
had friend once, and she was to me
What fragrance is to flowers, or song to BIRDS
Part Of my being; but there came time
1 cannot tell you how, or when, or where
A time that severed NJ. There was no heicr,
Hot trouble al our parting. II was calm,
Because II was IN era luaL Ere knew,
We had grown cold at meeting, colder still
At our goodbye. But looking on II now,
After long years, marvel at it all,
And weep more tears than did then, by far,
Over this strange, sad parting, this blank wreck
OF love- and hope, and friendship and warm trust.
o, II is pitiful, this breakngup
or human sympathy and sweet hcart-tryst.
Had We 80 many friends, this friend and !.
That we could we'll afford to give the slip
Each to the other? drifting thus apart,
Like ships that meet upon some tropic sea
For one brief passing hour, exchange stale news,
Gossip Of eargoes, or the las,-made port,
Then sail away, each on its separate course,
Aud never dream, nor care, to meet again!
think the heart grows chary OF its friends,
Az years and death do steal them from grasp;
could not let friend go now asI
Did her; for was young then both were yonng.
All, WE'LL 1 wonder II she cares, or II
She ever thinks Of those old foolish days,
When with her hand in mine, we sat and talked,
And kissed each other twiKt our happy words,
And vowed "eterna friendship" endless trust
1t may be so aud II this idle verse,
albeit not so idle it seems)
Should meet her eyes-I would, would 1t might!
She, too, may give sigh to those old days,
And wish, with me, that one had been more true
And both more patent-that the olden time
Had less Of bitterness mixed with Its sweet.
Making the after-drsught 80 drugged with pain
That even now tears come because Of 1t.

ARTS EXCHANGES.


There was poet once who wrought
In marble all his poet-thought-
All glimpses that his yearnings caught
or scenes whereof the senses faii,
Or light that strayeCh pure and pale
From out the rent, unllfted veil,
Till royal head, or shapely gleam
. some unhidden throat, 'twould seem,
TOOK On the whiteness OF his dream.
But sometimes EN- from dreaming eyes
Art folds while her mysteries,
fo greet them with more sweet surprise
And go for many an empty day ',
Nerveless the masters chisel lay:
Z The clay unloved was only cay.
Some angel waiting to be free,
Some beauty sleeping there might be-
So sleeping anu SO bound was he.
The a'tist-passion claimed its own
The thought symphony had shown
Leaped TO immortal life in stone.
Dear heart you End the story strange,
Yet has this wondrous interchange
Scarce touched the utmost OF its range.
For when the statue stood confessed
There came poet, with the rest,
Whose music-language was his best;
And all unconscious how it grew,
He caught the JOY the artist knew,
And stralxhp its soul to music flew.
A marvel, was itS Nay a law!
Bach heard the seraphs Raphael saw:
/ listen in content aud awe.
In that new tower, whose every round,
Shapen in color, song, or sound,
Chtnbs onward till the heaven is found,
The builders hold common speech,
And in the courage whispered each
Build onto heights beyond the reach.

indication Of the probabilities OF the re-
snltof the Presidential contest. While
pe close or decisive estimate can prob
ebiy be formed by this, yet 1t
may possibly be something of test
bf the popular feeling in certain
localities. The party issues OF the
present State contests are by no means
tertain of being those of next fall. In
california the issues are almost entirely
pf local character, the point made be-
ing between the mono2ciists, who, not
bontent with landed aristocracy, are
trying TO convert the whole water power

Ihe consequence is that but compara-
eively little attention is being paid to
khe questions usually at Issue between
lhatienal parties. In Arkansas local an
terests will attract most attention .ssA.

Will also be the case with others OF the

State. The feeling, however, that the

those out of employment this fail in the
mining and manufacturing districts.
Should this be the case there will not
probably be 80 good an opportunity for
the use OF the plan next fall, as the pros
poets now seem highly favorable for
resumption Of business and for phnti-
ful demand for labor at better wages.
The crops of the present season are
abundant, and the demand greater than
usual. The manufacturing establish
ments are already beginning to resume,
and the result of these two important
facts will be quickening of business
and general putting INTO circulation Of
the money OF the country.

GENERAL HAwLEY says many good
things, but he seldom strikes point
more forcibly than he did in denouncing
the habit so many people have of staying
away from primary elections and from
the polls. Too much attention to poll
tics on the part Of some and total
neglect by others is what is causing a
great deal of the trouble in our public
matters. The impudence OF a class of
men always to be found taking promi-
nent part in political affairs. the decep-
lions to which they resort, and the fire.
quency with which they succeed in de-
feating the real wishes and best interests
of the people, is enough to disgust honest
practical men who have other matters
besides politics to attend to. and it is
no wonder that the evil Of which General
Hawley speaks is greatly on the in
crease. Rings are formed for the bene-
ut OF individuals having no reference to
The principles of the party under which
they pretend to operate, and these whip IN
in the name Of party and divide the
spoils, as il the Offices were so much
henestly-acquired private property, until
men who have not been educated to re-
gard governments as established for the
benefit OF those vino administer them are
Inclined to look with disfavor upon any
thing connected with the holding OF
public position. The evil can not be cor
fected by leaving the polls in the hands
Df those classes, nor will the. offices be
better administered as long as good men
refuse to take part in political contests.

confounded with the course per-
sued by bummers and ward
tricksters who devote their whole time
10 the study and execution OF election
eering tricks by which to keep them
selves and their friends at the public
crib. Sensible and honorable men, dis
gusted with the trickery of this class OF
professionals and the success which SO
pften attends their schemes, too often
conclude, as they express it. "to let pol
itics alone." These ,are the causes
which have led to the unfortunate state
of affairs in the denuneiation OF which
General Hawiey is SO bitter. The rem.
