on THE DOOR STEP.


.. BY NJ NJ. a-
We were sitting on the door STEP
remember it so we'll,
She was half in shadows hidden
Save where the moonlight fell,
And the dear head resting,
With it's wavy soft brown hair,
Made more than ever lovely,
The face thought SO fair.
l know we talked but little, rs
And at last. beneath the stone,
We heard the cricket chirping,
q. So clearly all alone, -, ja
Till my heart had mustered courage
TO tell her then and there,
How for her sweet sake truly,
'rwoull all things do and dare.
Then came the soft, shy answer,
AS her shining eyes dropped low;
"My heart is mine no longer,
Twas yielded long ago."
And even as she doomed me,
TO misery and pain,
The soft checks filled with dimplcs,
Gathering DER and Ger again.
How we'll l now remember
That turning fast away,
] would not heed the whisper,
That softly bid me stay;
Till, at the low gate turning,
Her face once more to see,
I saw the tear-drop shining,
In the eyes that followed me. =
All! then, with heart fast beating,
TO her side l turned again,
ooh, tell me Madge, my darling,
Has my love been all in vain? !
You do not love another? = ges
Your words were only play? +,
Look up and answer truly
Madge, must l 60 away9" -
Again the dimples gathered,
+ Zen while the moons pale light
Betrayed the tears still shining,
q Like dew-drops soft and bright,
"My heart is mine no longer;
have given it it's true;
Why could You not have waited?
: Because-ah, / meant you!"

now cooperating with the Democratic
party under dire and inexorable neces'
sity, and only in the hope of getting an
Administration that would not be un.
friendly to them. They wanted to get
an Administration which in place of the
forces of conquest, subjugation and dom
ination would give them amnesty and
restoration TO the privileges of American
citizenship-an Administration which
would allow their States the same equal
rights as other States, which would al
low them equality of consideration,
equality of authority, jurisdiction over
their own affairs, exemption from the
domination of election by bayonets-that
would give them local self-goveTment,
and then the country could at last see
the dawn of prosperity in all the indus
trial enterprises Of the North; it would
see true Southern rendiSSance-a real
grand reconstruction of the South. 1t
would see her rising from her confusion
and distress, rejoicing in her newly
acquired liberty, free, great, prosperous;
her sons and her daughters of every
race happy in her smile, and greeting this
benignant republic in the words of the
inspired poet:
Thy gentleness has made thee great.

WISHES.

A man in his carriage was riding along,
Il gaily. dressed wife by his side
In satin and laCes she looked like queen,
And he like king in his pride,
A wood.sawyer stood on the street as the
passed.
The carriage and couple he eyed;
And said, as he worked with his Eaw on log,
"Iwish were rich and could ride"
The man in the carriage remarked to his wife,
zone thing would give if IcOud-
I'd give my wealth for the strength and the
health
Of the man who is saving the wood"
A pretty young maid, with bundle of work,
Whose face as the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with a smile of delight,
While humming lOve.breathing air,
She looked on the carriage the lady che saw,
Arrayed apparel so fine,
And said in whisper, / wish from my heart
Those satus and laces were mine.'
The lady looked out on the maid with her work,
So fair in her calico dress,
And said, "Tdrelinquish my position and wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possess"
Thus it is in the world whatever our lot
Our mind and our time we employ
In longing and signing for what we have not,
Ungrateiul for what we enjoy.
We welcome the pleasure for which we have
sighed
The heart has a void in II still,
Growing deeper and wider the longer we live,
That nothing but heaven can Gil.

WASHINGTON. August 2.-The event Of
to-day has been Mr.. Lamars speech in
the House on the condition of the South
ern States For fairness of statement,
force of logic and statesman-like consid-
Grafton of broad subject it has been ex-
Celled by no speech of the present ses-
sion, and it is difficult to see how any
thoughtful man who reads the speech
can avoid coming to the conclusions
reached ard stated by Mr.. Lamar. As
an oratorical effort it was one of Mr.. La.
mars best, and the House paid him the
rare compliment of gathering about him
en- masse as he spoke, ,oflistening intently
from the beginning to the end of his
hour and a half speech, although it ex-
tended long halfhour beyond the usual
time of adjournment, and of according
him warm applause from both sides OF
the House on his conclusion. The
strength of the speech lies in its non
partisanship and the strength ofits logic.
He commenced by saying that it could
not be truthfully asserted that the prac-
tiCe and the peculiar system of measures
adopted by the present administration
commanded the appreciation of a major
ity of the people; but that, on the con-
trary, the sentiment on which the Amer
ican people regarded the conduct of ma
tional affairs was one Of very decided dis
satisfaction and dependency, acCompa-
MED with strong and intense desire
fora change, He attributed the absence
OfrefOrm to the principle of centralized
party organization which garrisoned the
country with hundred thousand Office
holders and hundred thousand expect
ants of Office. He quoted from a speech
of Mr.. Sanford in the recent Republican
State Convention of Massachusetts, in ar
raignment of the administration, which
speech, he said, if it had been made by a
Democrat, would have been regarded as
gross a partisan exaggeration; and yet
that convention and its members were in
active cooperation with the very admin
istration thus characterized and held up
to public apprehension, in support of a
political party which had indorsed that
Administration and had in return been
indOrsed by it. 1t was utterly impossi-
BILE that the reforms desired could be ef-
fected by continuing in power that party
whose debasement of the civil service of
the country and whose corruption of the
administration were the things to be re-
formed. The success ofthat party would
give impunity to the corrupt practices
that are the subject of such universal
condemnation. But it was said that the
advent of the Democratic party to power

sore by breathing the foul and noxious
air of the mine cannot reason, and the
best remedy which the mine owners can
apply for the prevention Of strikes and
consequent lawlessness, is not in cursing
the folly and fatuity Of miners, nor in
urging the enactment cf conspiracy laws,
but in applying thorough and vigorous
ventilation in the mines.
Were all strikes to resolve themselves
into questions Of endurance between the
two parties, acts of lawlessness would
seldom be committed on the part Of the
strikers. But the operators, when they
find the miners more resolute and en-
during than they had calculated upon,
use other means than starvation to break
up the combination. They endeavor to
induce the more moderate and sensible
among the strikers to resume work
but such men, although opposed to
striking, will not work unless the major
ity agree to do SO, nor is it safe for them
to do so if they were willing. Advertise
ments are sometimes made in remote
mining districts by the operators, setting
forth the inducement of steady work and
good wages. They are met by counter
advertisements from the strikers, urging
all fellow craftsmen to stay away from
the district until the dispute is settled,
and so perfectly are the miners organized
by common ideas of honor that no in
ducement in the shape of increased
wages will prevail with any of the regu-
lar craft to take the places of their fel-
lows on a strike. When new miners are
secured they are usually immigrants, ig-
norant of our language, or negro ex-
slaves. The presence of these strangers
at the mines arouse the angry passions
of the strikers, and rioting and incendiar-
ism are to be feared.
This condition of affairs is, however,
not applicable to coal miners alone.
Whenever new men are brought to take
the places of men on a strike, it seems to
make little difference whether the strik-
ers be ignorant men or intelligent men,
whether railroad laborers, coal miners or
skilled mechanics, trouble will follow un.
less the strangers are protected; and this
is true not of workingmen of the United
States alone but of every country where
laborers have the right of combination.
The strikers look upon the strangers as
hirelings brought to degrade labor, as
men taking the bite out of their chill
dren's mouths and denounce them as
'blacklegs" or "scabs" or "rats" accord
ing to the approbious epithet in use in
trade organizations More rioting occurs
by miners, during attempts made to sup
plant their labor, but only because

Walnut street

Everybody admits that Walnut
street ought to be paved. 1t can new
er beedone cheaper by contract than at
present. Those who live ON it and Pc
tition to have it done, have u fair
claim on the city and only ask that
their property shall be made as health
ful and rendered as uninviting to con.
tagious diseases as other peoples pro-
perry is. Those who live on French
street have no right TO prevent Walnut
street being paved. They enjoy
costly paved street before their doors
that they have not paid for, and vet
some OF them want to keep Walnut
street as a place to deposit their filth.
We hope the street will be paved that
tho work will be done by contract,
and done well and cheaply. We are
confident that the political jobbers are
those who paid man to go and hunt
up remonstrances against the work.
The owners of property on other streets
are made to pay for paving to keep the
city healthful, and those owning pro.
perty on Walnut street ought to be
willing to do likewise. They cannot
make an investment that will be SO
sure to return them good interest.
