VOL. 20
THE LAST FLOWER OF THE YEAR.

The gentian was the years last child,
Born when the winds were hOarse and wild
With wailing over buried flowers,
The playmates of their Summer hours.
The gentian hid a thoughtful eye
Beneath deep fringes blue and shy;
Only by warmest nOOn-beams won,
To meet the welcome of the sun.
The gentian, her long lashes through,
Looked up into the sky so blue,
And felt at hOme-the color, there,
The good God gave herself to wear.
The gentian searched the fields around;
No flower companion there she found.
Upward, from all the woodland ways,
Floated the aster's silvery rays.
The gentian shut her eyehds tight
On falling leaf and frosty night;
And close her azure mantle drew,
While dreary winds around her blew.
The gentian said :''1 he world is cold:
Yet one clear glimpse of heaven hold.
The suns last thought is mine to keep;
EnOugh-nOw let us 60 to sleep"

On Thursday morning OF last

see a Tilucn and Hen bricks flag
waving in the breeze over our main
street. So quietly had it been nm
Iurlcd that no one in our village
kntw of the raising except the per
son or persons thus engaged. Its
diminutive size and general appear
anre was so ridiculous it caused a
good deal of sport for the Repuhli-
cans. We give a description of the
rag, that others may laugh with us.
The material is cotton cloth. size
two 10y three feet, stripes amt names
of their candidates put on with
Brandon paint, stars minus, the
word reform occupying the corner
where the stars should be. The
cord on which it was hung, sheep

pleased with it uutil we had had
our laugh, and then they begun to
snow displeasure, and some of them
even accused us of putting it up.
We quietly informed them we did
not belong to that party, and we
think it very unkind in them as long
as we have been lifelong Republi
cans, to accuse us of being Demo-
Gratis how Waterman.
