In sheen Of silhon splendor,
with glittering threads OF gold,
I've seen the waving marvols
That hung in halls of old;
when fair hands wrought the lily,
And brave hands held the lance,
And stately lords and ladies
Stepped through the courtly dance.
I've looked on rarer fabrics,
The wonders Of the loom,
That caught the flowers Of summer,
And caplives held their bloom;
But not their wroathiug beauty,
Though ct for queens to wear,
Can with ono household treasure,
That's ull mine owe, compare.
It has no golden value,
The simple patch work spread;
It5 squares in homely fashion
SET in with green and red;
Bu, in those faded pieces
For me are shining bright,
All! many a summer morning,
Aud many winter night.
The dewy breath OF clover,
The leaping Hight Of fame,
Like spells my heart camc over,
As one by one I name
These bits Of old-tme dressed
Chintz, cAmbric, calico
That looked 30 fresh and dainty
On my darling long ago.
This violet was mothers;
Iseom to see her face,
That ever like sunshine,
Lit up the ahadiest place.
This bun belonged to Susan,
That scarlet spot was mine;
Aud Fanny wore this pearly white,
where purple panaies slime.
turn my patchwork over
A book with pictured leaves
And feel the lilac fragrance,
And the snowfall on the caves.
OF all my heart's possessions,
think Il least could spare
The quilt We children pieced at home,
when mother dear was there.

TILDEN IN MISSISSIPPI.
The Negro Democratic CIubs-A Great DEM
opstrstion IN Kinds County.


EDWARDS, Miss. Aug. 19.-The canvass
OF 1876 has opened in Mississippi with flying
coiors. The coiored friend and brother is SO
well pleased with the result Of last years cleo
ton. that there will be hut little opposition to
T,lden and Hendricks and to our Hooker. Mr..
shauahnessy, United States Revenue Collector
for this district, from somewhere North, has
entered the field In opposition to Hooker, which
We esteem AZ u ane opportunity for . walk over
for the latter.
began this letter to give an account Of the
grand opening of the canvass In this (alnds)
county Yesterday. but will speak drst Of the
colored element. The North 10 sstonished at
the result of last years election, and well she
may be. What brought about this RESULT The
people OF Mississippi accepted the results OF the
war, and determined - go to WORK and rebuild
their fallen fortunes ana let politics take their
own course. Then came the carpet baggers,
VINO were supDosed BY the colorsd people TO
represent the United states Government, and
after that II was useless for the whites TO try TO
talk to the negro. He wouldn't listen; wa.
TO worse until even the colored men found tnat
a change was necessary, and last year
attended for the first time our public meet
ings. We told them, "Y on have been following
these men without homes, hlling their pockets
out OF your hard earnings; now try US once.
IL we fail To treat you well. YOU can 90 back at
the end OF your two wears trial to your Republt-
can friends" They made the trial many Joined
still called themselves Republican,. Our town
was one of the strongest Republican precincts,
but enough voted with us TO carry the boz.
We had some ~ colored men in our club last
year; now have about $50; and 30 it is 18th
the % or % Democratic CLUBS In the county,
some OF which are exclusively colored. Last
year we we're forced u pass resolutions guar
Anteeing protection to any colureu man joining
w; this year such resolutions are unnecessary (;
they are strong enough In numbers TO protect
themselves.
Yesterday was appointed for q grand ratinca-
ton meeting OF the nomination OF Iilden and
Hendricks and c. Z. Hooker at Raymond, the
county seat, this being one Of the strongest ne
gro counties IN the ~ ate. The procession mum
bered from 100 to 1870 mounted men. fully
one-haf Of whom were colored. with four b-ass
bands and four drum corps. The crowd num-
bered fully 900 persons Soy far the largest po-
iticai gathering ever assembled In the old town.
There were numbers OF banners, and United
States flags without number.
A few weeks ago the Republican Convention
met nc RAYMOND 20 appoint delegates to the
Congressional Convention. There were just
twenty-five delegates present. Formerly such
meeting would have brought out Wv OF $40 col
ored men.

CLOSING UP AT R0CKAWAY.
THE PROFITS or AN ENORMOUSLY
sUCCEssFUL sElsoy.

How the Hot Weather tht. sur,r,er F,i,.s
the Pocketbooks Of Landlords. st,smboat
Owners, BATH House Keepers, and ,Uhor..
The season at Rockaway now yirtualiv
closed, has been the most successful ever known
at that beach. The season opened early, the
boats beginning to run on June %, and the In
tensely hot weather OF July induced unprece-
dented multitudes TO make tho trip. On Sun
days throughout the summer the mbiaaes
have been astonishingly large. Few, even OF
those who have been there. have a conception OF
the amount OF business done at Rockaway. The
steamer Plym outh Rock, which is to be with
drawn on Thursday next, has carried about
10000 passengers to aud from Rockaway during
the summer The William Cook, Americas, and
Neversink have conveyed as many more, and
fully that number have gone by other steamers
and the oars. At the excursion rate of hfty
cents for the round trip, the money collected
for passages alone smounts to $4,000 The hvo
hotels have taken an average " $500 Apiece every
dav, and the restaurants and "chOwder houses"
on the beach, numbering about sixty, have aver
aged fl25 apiece. Bathing suits, let at twenty
nve cents apiece, have brought 70 forty estab-
hshments an aggregate Of about &210,OOO for the
season. Add to these suthenticated figures
5000 as the receipts from bowling alleys and
shooting galleries. and the grand total IS 81 $780,
wv. Tue amount OF business done at Far Rock
away Is nearly AZ large as that of Its rival beach.
q. The rush to Rockawiy has at no time during
the season been So great as within the past few
days. Last Saturday evenings hop at the Sea-
side House was attended by ex-Gov. Fenton.
Landlord wainwright says as to the fight which
was mentioned In lnE sun on Wednesday last,
that u began on the beach and renewed on
the wharf In front Of mis- house, and was stopped
by hts Waterman. He has been trying To stop
the three GARD monte business, and allows none
OF on his premises. The Neptune House pre-
sents sorry appearance, with its bullying walls,
sunken roof, and brOgen piazza. The damage IN
confined to the main portion OF the building.
which was occupied by the dining room and
guests chambers above. The wing Is still 90
cupied, and will be until the end Of the season.
The trouble 10 not caused bv the sinking Of tho
foundations In the sand. but by the Inadequate
pilinR which supported the centre OF the house,
ana which has bent to one side, allowing the
building to slip from 1t anu rest ON the sand.

More than twenty thousand persons wis.,

dense. The equestrians we're out in full force,
the Park carriages did a good business all day,
and the drives formed so many panoramas OF
life from early forenoon till long after tho sun
had gone down.
Trials OF speed on the leading bouievards were
frequent and intensely exciting, and on Sixth,
Seventh. Eighth, Central, and st. Nicholas ave-
Dues the scene was animatlnR In the extreme.
McComb's Dam and Jerome Park were two ia
ever-ch angling scene OF life at its best, aud every
addition to the every day display OF splendid
eQuippages. tor which New York Is noted, was
hailed with delight Oy thousands.
Mr. brennan was out with his bay geldng
