Oh why do my eyes sec the morning light.
When my heart gropcs back to the shades
of night,
For the only bliss that my soul can share
1t finds in dreams and loses there.
NV dream last night-how it mocks me
now,
Then crown of bliss sat on my brow,
AT this waking hour my sad soul mourns
For the crown | wear is a crown OF thorns.
Last night stood in the homestead hall,
With father and mother and dca. ones all;
" G gathered around the glowing hearth
With songs Of joy and tales OF mlrth.
kncn with my hand on my mothers knee
Watching little sister full of glcc;
Her gentle hand stroIcC down my hair,
And smoothcd away my every care.
Then born sense OF safety fell
Upon my heart like mystic spell,
And the good night kiss So fond did seem
1t awokc me from my sacred dream.
Oh! when look back Ger those blissfnl
years,
Unknown to want or sorrow 5 tears,
| crv to heaven for strength to bear
This weary load oi grief and care.
One hv one, from the dear home band,
Have Joined tie hosts Of the spirit land
Now the light of earth seems qucnchcd IN
gloom,
And long to sleep i'll the silent tomb.

No, \ soul in the wide world cares for me,

r, DESPERATE The editors Of the Bloomsbury
COLUMBIAN headed their editorial with a cut
OF mounted cannon, and any one at first glance
would suppose that they intended to fight or
,u,t' DUST" They clai.ued 100000 majority for
iiIden and 2O3 electoral votes vi first, but like
sensible men they come down and say "Demo-
Gratis and Republicans want to know who is
larry and honestly elected President. BE it
iilden or Hayes he must have the support of
.le nation" As they were not certain about
,he ZO3 electors, and 1t is positively known that
rutherford Is. III tyes was fairly and honestly
elected President" by only 1856 electors, all that
Tue law required we hope to see those editors
returning their cannon and help support the
nation. .-Sunbuy american.
That cannon seems to worry some of our
Republican brethren they don't like cannons,
never did--especially during the war. The
COLUMBIAN did and does claim popular ma.
jority of 300, 900 for Tilden. The 203 lectoral
votes should have been 2O5. We have not
come down" because we are Sensible We are
convinced that Hayes has not been "fairly and
honestly elected" but that the Anlerican's
| friends have made a strong effort to count him
in, as they have state officers in different States
for years past. We propose to "help support
the naton," and that is why we at every
opportunity seek TO impress upon the people
the fact that Samuel j. Tiden was elected las
month President of the United States w,
should be aidcrs and abettora ofa rebellion die
we advocate the inauguration OF Hayes.

The Radical organs have struck a new
vein-economy this time. They think the
appropriations to pay the expenses of the
Congressional investigating committees in
South are very large. Their anxiety for the
public treasury is too thin the real reason
for their troubled spirits is that they dread
and show to the people. The Gazette G'
Bulletin says "(Mngress is quarreing over the
appropriation Bills to pay the expenses of
the rowing committees" We believe there
is little quarrel in the House on the sub
ject the Democrats there have reduced the
appropriation of the Republican Senate from
$50, 900 to $4,000. Only the Gazette d
Bulletin didn't say so.

A recent case in Pittsburg show how care
fnl we should be to guard against the spread
of pestilence. A person died of small pox, and
the occupant of the house, to get a little money
sold the bedding to an upholsterer, who soon
caught the disease and died One of his lady
customers visiting his store, became infected.
and carried the disease into her family. several
members of which are now afflicted with small
po1. a servant girl in the house, becoming
frightened, left it, and carried the disease into
another family with whom she went to live
Three families were thus afflicted through the
culpable act of the occupant of the original
| house. Too much care cannot be taken to
guard against the spread of infection, which, i,
can be seen, could in this case have been pre-.
vented, had the proper disposition been made
of the bedding Of The first victim.

Samuel Cliff was driving through dark and
lonely piece of woods near Whites hollow,
about twelve miles from Ilonesdale, he heard a
most unesrthly yell from some spot not far

by mans voice shouting in terror, "For Gods
sake hurry up" Mr. Cliff whipped up his hor-

standing in the middle Of the road holding a
COW by rope around its horns. The COW was
plunging about as if greatly frightened, and
The man, William Loveland, of Aldenyille,
