BLAINE and BRlsrow are said to be the

getting the nomination Of their party for Prcs-

Gus, straightforward. large-mindcd man, who
does his duty; and just now this happens 70 he
the duty Of reformcT. BLAINE Il a fellow who
believes IN hiding all the rascalities OF Rcpuhli-
canism, for fear they might iniurc the party and
weaken Its candidate while BRIsrOw believes
in taking care Of the public interests, and exc
cutting justice upon those who prove themselves
traitors well ns thieves. There Is 40 doubt,
however that these two men now stand the best
chance Of being nominated tor President by the
Republicans: and the interesting fact about Il
is that Boss GRANT hates them both, and one
about as much as the other. Perhaps, however.
he hates BLAINE rather worse OF the two. be-
cause he has csImed to take up the Anti-Cath-
Ollie thunder, which GRANT wants to keep as tx-

siblc to convert any inndel properly grounded

us they have written to Brother MOODY on tho

MAKO me no vows OF constancy, dear friend,
30 love me, though die, thy whole life
And love no other till thy days shall end
Nay, II were rash and wrong.
II tAou canst love another, be IL so:
bwould not reach out of my quiet grave
Te Bind thy heart, II 1t should chose To go;-
Love should not be slave.
Ny placid ghost, trust, will walk serene
In clearer light than gilds those earthly
morns,
Above the jeaIousies and envies keen
Which SOW this life with thorns.
1hou vouldst not feel my shadowy caress,
III, after death, my soul should linger here;
Mems hearts crave tangible, close tender
Loves presence, warm and near.
II would not make me sleep more peace
That thou vert wasting all thy life In woe
For my poor sake; what love thou hast for
Bestow 1t ere 1 goi
Carve not upon a stone when am dead
The praises which rernorseless mourners
To woman's grave-a tardy recompense-
But speak them while live.
Heap not the heavy marble on my head
To shut away the sunshine and the dew;
Let small blooms grow there, aud let grasses
And rain-drops filter through.
Thou wilt meet many fsirer and more gay
Than |; but trust me, thou canst never
One who will love and serve thee night and
With a more single mind.
Forget me when die! The violets
Above my rest will blossom just as blue,
Nor miss thy tears; cen Natures self for
gets;
But while live, be true!
