POETRY.

BY ALICE WILLIAMS,

BY ALIcE WILLIAMS,
The nightingale sang to the rose
Through the livelong night,
Till her hue from a ruby red
Turned wan and white.
All night it rose and fell
That silvery strain,
And the heart of the red rose throbbed
With diyinest pain;
80 Love, o Lover' it rang,
81 love but thee.
Thou art the queen of all flowers" he sang,
"And queen of mel
o Love, my Lover' he said.
Before the dawn,
The rose on Its stalk hung dead,
The bird was gone.

qualified for the office. But Windham
county claims the office. No county, no
section, no man has constitutional "claim ="
except in superior qualifications for the
office no right TO ask a vote, and no free
man q right on his oath TO give vote, ex-
ccpt on that ground We cheerfully CON
ccde, as between men Of equally good quail
fcatons, that courtesy and sound party dis
erection will regard location. But We know
no such word as claim TO any office in any
section, county, town or man. The peoDle
only have a claim 10 the best man they
can find, and he is bound 30 respond % il.
But in this case Windham county has not
so good ground to be considered as Orange,
nor Orange as Caledonia, nor Caledonia as
Orleans, nor Orleans rs Essex, which has
never bad a Governor. 1t is no dispaage-
ment to the candidates in Windham county
10 say that either Of the other counties POS
se,,es men Of equal qualifications. Is good
a candidate has been named in Ormgo, aud
the only objection that Windham can make
is, that Orange has the acknowledgements
ship now, and has had it so often a. to dis
charge her present "caim." As to all the
rest above named, Windham may plead that
they have no candidate. They have bet
ter right, on the ground of courtesy, to have
one than Windham, and if they do not pre-
sent any Of their own citizens, who will say
that they may not properly waive their right
IN favor OF Governor Peck We think, UNI
der existing circumstances, that even Wind.
ham can do that and at the same time do
herself great honor.

RECKLESS PRocEEDISGs.-As illustra-
tive of the utter disregard of law aud right
with which the investigating crusade is be-
ing conducted, it is stated that the sergeant
alarms Of the House recently seized
pile OF teegraphic dispatches which had
been sold as waste paper by one of the tele-
graph companies. This was done by the
order OF the naval investigating commit
tee, in hope OF finding evidence against GER
tain parties suspected Of having committed
frauds. In seeking evidence even against
criminals the innocent public have rights
which ought not TO be inyadedor disregarded.
The telegraph is convenience which the
business world must use, and like the mails,
its usefulness depends upon the inyiolability
with which its messages are treated. The
patrons of the telegraph pay for the keeping
Of their messages inyiolate as well as for their
transmission. Under proper conditions the
law may bring particular message into
court after the propriety of SO doing is
properly set forth and considered. But for
the government to set the example of ndis-
criminately inspecting in bulk the confden-
tial kilograms of the patrons of the tele-
graph lines is to offer premium to bad
faith and make matchmaking very profta-
BILE ayocation. The developments just made
are not calculated to encourage q confjen-
tal use of the telegraph.

NEW llAMrsmuE.-Govem Cheney, of
New Hampshire, submitted his annual mes
sage to the Legislature Monday. The finance
statement shows a total revenue of five hun
dred and three thousand three hundred and
twenty-eight dollars and nineteen cents, and
a total expenditure of three hundred and
ninety-one thousand five hundred thirty-six
dollars and twenty-three cents. This gives
an excess of revenue of one hundred eleven
thousand seven hundred nineteen dollars and
nnety-six cents, which had been applied
towards decreasing the state debt. The
total liabilities Of the state are three million
six hundred twenty-nine thousand five hun
dred thrty-eight dollars and fortynine cents
There are sixty-eight savings banks in oper-
alton throughout the state, with deposits to
the amount of thirty-two million one hun
dred ninety-eight thousand sixty-four dollars
and sixteen cents, an increase during the
year of nearly a million dollars. This indi-
Gates that the inhabitants of the Granite
State have been somewhat relieved from the
pressure of dull times within the last twelve
months Bank investments also show
marked improvement. lie makes a pretty
extensive review of the temperance move
ment, and reaches the conclusion that no
change in the present law is advisable at
this time. In closing his message he enun-
ciates the prevailing Republican doctrine of
the time, that retrenchment and reform must
be the watchwords of the hour.
