M HOSE FRIEND.

lie came 10 me so smilingly,
And firmly shook my hand,
And spoke to ME so silvery
In accents smooth aud bland.
ForSooth knew him not. but vet
His way and inien. so kind,
Proclains at cHce the gentleman
We very seldom find.
He spal1e to me so manly
About hiS~i.ome affairs,
And spoke both frank and willingly
OF many business cares
lie told me most that happened from
The moment of his birth:
] gI=Isped his hand in joy to find
I'd found a soul of worth.
He drew me now so lovingly
y little way aside,
And whispered me confilingly,
With air so bonn .fae,
And said it was with deep chagrin
That he did ask of me
But did | have about me then
So small sum as ~ :"
! slipped the sum most willingly
Unto his honest hand
He bowed to me so tearfully-
My friend he 'd ever stand
We parted-bnt grim death, alas.
O'ertook this natures prince
That is, think he must be dead,
For We not seen him since.

National Republican Platform.


When, in the economy of Providence,
this land was to be purgetl of human slavery
and when the strength of government of
the people by the people and for the people
was to be demonstrated. the Republican
party came into power. Its deeds have
passed into history. aud we look back to
them with pri lie. Incited by their memo
ries to high aims for the good of our co.iIi-
try ami mankind. aud looking to the future
with unfaltering courage, hope and pur-
pose. we the representatives of the party
in NasiOnal Convention assembled. make
the following declaration of principles:
/. The United States of America is n
Nation, not league by rlc combined
Workings of the National and State govern.
nents under their respective institutions.
The rights of every citizen are secured at
home and protected abroad, and common
welfare promoted.
2. The Republican party has preserved
these governments to the hundret.th ami
Yersary of the Nations birth. and they are
now embodiments of the great truths spo-
ken at its cradle, THAT all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalineable rights.
among which are lite, liberty and the pur-
sIlit of happiness; that for the attainment
of these ends governments have been insti.
tinted among men, deriving their just pow
ers from the consent OF the governetl.s
Until these truths are cheerfully obeyed,
or. If need be. vigorously enforced. the
work ofthe Republican party is unfinished.
3. The permanent pacification of the
Southern section of the Unioas. and the free
| protection of all its citizens in the free en-
| joylnent Of all their rfghss and tliiffes. to
which the Republican party stands sacredly
pledged. The power TO provide for the en-
| f0reement of the principles embodied IN
the recent Constitutional amendment Is
| vested by those amendments in the Congress
Of the United States. and we declare 1t to
| be the solemn obligation of the legislative
aud executive departments of the govern
Tlent. to put into immediate and vigorous
exercise all their constitutional powers for
removing any just causes for diseonkent on
the part of any class, and for s1eNring to
every American citizen complete liberty
and exact equality In the exercise OF all
civil. political and public rights. To this
end we iInperativeiy demand Congress
i anil Chief Executive, whose courage and
fidelity TO these duties shall not falter until
these results are placed beyond dispute or
recall

A PuILosoPHER's Question:

asked hun what were tire expectations

the sage, "what prevents you from sit

THE AFFLICTED FAM1LY.

They entered Vicksburgh just at
dark. the two mules before the cover
ed wagon leaned against each other for
support, and man having any knowl-
edge of mules would have said that
lunch OF scrap iron would have been
god-send to them. There was big
dog under the wagon, aud he looked
around in suspicious frightened way.
as if expecting an attact from some
quarter.
Peering ont from the wagon was
woman and thrSe children. Her face
was as yellow as ochre, and as sharp as
plantation hoe, and if the children
had Lad bit of bacon for months past
their looks didn't show it.
"We're a sad family" replied the
man as be returned from the grocery
with a pound of crackers aud a bit OF
cheese.
"Anything bad happened ?'' asked
the reporter.
t"You see that woman in the wagon
thar? Well, she weighed 160 pounds
when we struck Louisiana year ago.
Thar she is now gone down to shad-
der. and you conlden't hear her huiler
across the road %
"Yes she does look bad
"And thar's the three children-tell
away to bones, ard hide, and har. Thar
used to be seven. The rest are planted
over thar across the river 20
"Well, that is bad.''
"And thar's them mules" continued
the stranger, his voice growing huskey.
tThar was time when they was jist
ole lightnin' had to tie them out doors
tor fear they'd kick the stable down.
They don't like it now, but they was
once able to run a plow SO deep into
the sile that it took a nigger day to
dig down to the handles"
'sThey ST EN- worn out now"
"And gaze on that dog-uur poor
Timothy !" continued the man, brush
ing tear from his left eye that's what
takes the pluck out o me! When |
brought that dog from old Kaintuck
the taller fried out of him as he walked,
and when he sot his teeth on anything
it had 10 ceme or die. And what is he
now ? Whar is his bounden step, his
fat, his grit -
"Tou had bad luck, then 20
s'Yes, things sot agin' MS from the
start. Tie rain drowned the crops out,
tile ager shook us up stairs and down,
fever took the children away and the
woman and the mules and Tiurothy sos
right down and pined away to shad-
ders."
"And you are moving ?
"iVe're joggin', stranger, kinder
inggin' aionn and around, looking for
a place to squat. The ole woman signs
for Kaintuck, and Timntlly, he'd get
up OH his bind les and howl, it we
we'd jog little further"
And you will settle in Mississippi ?"
'sl'il see. They say the sile here is
gooG and the crops sure, bat dunno. If
can get good bit o land on shares,
we'll stop and make the dirt fly, but if
l can't well make for Kentuck and
keep joggii' as long as the mu;es hold
out"
We'll, Pm sorry for yon,' said the
reporter.
''Bleeged to you, stranger; I've tried
to keep a stiff backbone, and guess
kin sec thi> thing through, but when
a feller remembers what them mules
was, aud sees 'em now, it's huff TO
break his heart, TO say nothin' about
Timothy under the wagon, dog that
was brung up on the fat of the land,
and who amt used to SORROW and
grief.''
And he climbed into the wagon,
pushed cn the lines, and the mules
slowly moved on.

blooming and affectionate widow for a
near neighbor, and when he was taken
sick she very considerably nursed him,
and supplied his every want. But
when he was convalescent, she became
aggressive, and limited that he ought
to marry her, and that she would sue
him it he refused. Then the widower
resorted to strategy. One evening
wien she called he was in the sitting
room, without lights, and the marriage
