A young man must have life and
energy IN this, advanced age of stern
unyielding, and untiinehing Battle.
Like crew of a sinking craft in mid

fight to keep aAoat with uudying

What happy star shone on her birth 2?
What grassy corner of the earth
Grew daisies for her baby feet
To dance between, since they repeat,
On all the howeriess ways they pass,
That breezy motion of the graas.?v
That brook bewitched her to fig brink,
And drew he fresh Hips down t. drink
It's music, while it>slipped unseen
Its happy cadenee5 between p
So glad and sweet the voice that slips
From ambush of her maiden lips.
What winds upon the hill gavs room.
Yo her, and buffeted TO bloom
Her rounded cheeks, and made her hair
A flying sunshine in the air p
Fer still, like sun-gieama on a rose,
Fer hayward color comes and goes
What graybesrd tree upon the down,
Caught, as she sped, her floating gown,
And whispered through his ancient grth
The long dumb sorrow of the earth p
For the sweet pity in her eyes
Almost their gladness ovsrlies.

Wells and Sheridan.

Mr. J Madison Wells, cx-Gover.
nor of Louisiana, is president of the
Kellogg returning board, and is the
man most relied upon to consumate
the frauds by which that State is to
be returned for Hayes, and it is
claimed by both Kellogg and Wells
that General Sheridan is certain to
sustain the action Of the board. In
1867, when the New Osleans riot oc
cured which called General Sheridan
there, he made an official report to
Gen. Grant, in which be drew this
strongly marked portrait of Wells.
then the Governor of that State:
say now unequivocally that
Governor Wells is political trickster
and. a dishonest man, l have seen
him during, the: July riot of 1867
akulk away where 1 could not find
him to give him a guard, instead of
coming out as a manly representative of
the State and joining those who were
preserving the peace. / have watched
him since, and bis conduct has been
as sinuous as the mark lett in the dust
by the movement Of snake. I say
again that he is dishonest.
In a subsequent report, Sheridan
declared to Grant that Wells had not
one friend who is an honest man.
and that people of the State feel that
we have got rid of an unprinclpled
Governor and the set of disreputable
tricksters he had about him.. Mr.
Wells, in reply to Sherman, charged
that Sheridan was responsible for
the massacre at the Mechanics Insti-
tute.' Mr.. Wells is now about to
enter upon the work of making a re.
turn Of the vote of Louisiana in I'M
blushing defiance, Of either the actual
vote cast, or of the honest expression
of the people of the State, and General
Sheridan is to maintain as law what
Wells shall see fit to do. They
certainly should be acquainted with
each other, and we have quated their
mutual compliments by way Of re>
wing the pleasant memories of the
past and Strengthening their mutual
devotion for the present and future.
General Sheridan, Governor Wells;
Governor Wells, General Sheridan
