MISSOURI'S NEXT GOVERNOR.

The "Rebel' Democracy of Misscu-
ri selected as its gubernatorial can
didste that gallant Union soldier aud
lifelong Democrat, John S. Phelps.
General Phelps reputation is not
confined to Missouri. 1t is national !;
and his nomination by a party in
which the enfranchised element holds
the balance Of power, this, too, over
which such distinguished represent
atives of that element as Col. George
e. Vest and General Hockaday, car
ries with it q rebuke to that senti-
ment of sectioualism and war-preju-
dice which still prevades the North,
while its extinction is nearly COM
plete in the southern and border
states.
By uniting upon either Vest or
Hook aday, the so-called Gonfederstes
in the Jefferson City convention yes
terdAy, could have nominated what
the radical press would have hastened
to dub "rebel' candidate. Instead
of this, they selected as their stand ard
bearer in the state canvass, soldier
aud uniOnist of such standing, dur
ing the war, that, noLwithst andine
his pronounced democracy, Mr.. Lin
coin saw fit to place him in charge O
the rcbelli0us state of Arkansas az
provisional governor. Any demo
crat of responsibility, indorsed by
the party in convention, could hav,
carried Missouri by from thirty t,
forty thousand majority, so it wa
not at all necessary to nominate Gen
Phelps in order to conciliate tn,
"union" element of the party. Hi
nomination at the hands Of both els
ments, and all elements Of the Missou
ri democracy, is proof conclusiv
that the war is over in that state, it
prejudices forgotten and its animoi
ities extinct.-[Chicago Courier.

They commemorate the Day
When ssthe stone was rolled away

There He bursts the bonds of Death
With Omnipotence's breath,
And msjesiicslly rose,
Triumphant o'er His foes,
To the right hand of God-Three in one.
Where He maketh intercsssions
For our manifold transgresslon,

And their echoing notes are rolling

Whence life, and joy, and peace. are flowing
evermore,
Evermore!
Now their tones grow louder, deeper,
They might wske the duilest sleeper
On this peaceful Sabbath morning
With this word of solemn warning
''Time, time, time!
Time, time, time!''
Their ponderous tongues reiterate m onotoneusly
:Time!
''Time, time, time!

Till the ending of the hour ends the chime.
Thus each swinging Titan knells,

From the tower wherein he dwells,

Whose cadences fantastically rhyme

lie and gasp, as round me low,
Hot waves OF melted atmosphere.
Within the orchards shade lie,
hear not e'en the hum Of of bees,
The very robins dare not fly
The n-scorched breezes hntter by,
And painting fall among the trees.
Hot foods of burning sunlight blend,
And melts the shadows as they pass,
Like arrows through the trees descend
Long blazing shafts oflight, that bend
And splinter on the scorching grass.
Those clouds thought were drawing nigh;
Like birds Of outspread winEs they came
Alas, they crossed the blazing sky,
Like moths that round candle fly,
To burn and perish in the name.
Oh for the singing winds that blow
Their music o'er the ocean wave,
Oh for the crystal streams that dow,
Half frozen over fields of snow,
From Nova Zembla's icy cave.
Alas, there comes no winds to cheer,
No crystal streams nor fields Of snow,
A blazing summer sun'is here,
And waves OF burning atmosphere,
That melts the shadows as they flow.
