may consider Tilden, Hendricks, Bayatd,

Democratic candidate will be Judge
David Davis, Of Illinois, or some placid

The Cross.

Quaint though the construction be of the
following poem, yet never has the story
of the cross been told with more truthful
simplicity: .s.ss-
Blest they who seek,
While in their youth
With spirit meek
The way of truth.
To them the sacred Scriptures now display
Christ as the only true and living way
His precious blood ON Calvary was given
To make them heirs ofendless bliss in heav'n
And e'en on earth the child of God can trace
The glorious blessings of his Savior's grace.
For them he bore
His Fathers frown,
For them He wore
The thorny crown;
Nailed to the cross,
Endured its pain,
That His life's loss
Might be their gain.
Then haste to choose
That better part,
Nol cen dare refuse
The Lord thy heart,
Lest He declare,
81 know you not"
And deep despair
Should be your lot.
Now look to Jesus who on Calvary died,
And trust to Him who there was cruciied.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The Tribune Wash
ington special says the Sergeant-at- Arms Of
the Senate proceeded this evening to the
house of Belkap to serve on him a process
issued by order of the Senate as a court of
impeachment. Belknap was up stairs when
the Sergeant-at-Arms was announced, but
he did not keep that functionary waiting
very long. He came into the drawing room
with brisk step, with smile on his face,
and, extending his hand, said How do
you do, Mr.. French /; suppose know the
object Of your warrant; well, am very
glad to see you take seat" French, be-
fore accepting this offer of hospitality,
reached down into an evercoat pocket and

read the document, Belknap standing BY
listening attentively. When the reading
was concluded Belknap said, "I will re

POETRY.
BLUE AND GRAY.

{" Oh, mother what do they mean by blne?
And what do they mean by gray9"
Was heard from the lips of little child
As she bounded in from play.
The mothers eyes filled up with tears:
She turned to her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
Its treasures of golden hair,
" Why mothers eyes are blue, my sweet,
And grandpas hair is gray.
nj the i6Te re Bear darling child
Grows stronger every day."
" But what did they mean 2" persisted the child;
For saw two cripples to-day, H.
And one of them said he fought for the hue
The other, he fought for the gray.
" Now, he of the blue had lost a leg,
The other had but one arm,
And both seemed weary and worn and sad,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told of battles in days gone by,
Till il made my young blood thrill;
The leg was lost in the Wilderness fight,
The arm at Malvern Hill. z-
"They sat on the stone by the farmyard gate
And talked for an hour more,
Till their eyes grew bright and their hearts seemed
warm
With fighting their battles DER.
And, parting at last with friendly grasp,
In kindly, brotherly way,
Each called on God TO speed the lime,
Uniting the blue and gray" .-
Then the mother though of other days
Two stalwart boys from her riven;
How they knelt at her side and sping, prayed,
" Our Father which art in heaven;"
How one wore the gray and the other the blue:
How they passed away from sight,
And had gone to the land where gray and blue
Are merged in colors of light
And she answered her darling with golden hair
While her heart was sadly wrung,
With the thoughts awakened in that sad hour
BY her innocent prattling tongue:
'The blue and the gray are the colors of God;
They are seen in the sky at even.
And many noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports to heaven"
