Truant Madge.'
by KATE PUTNAM osGooD.

by KATE PUTNAM osGooD.
The shadows lie sleeping on field and hill;
The cows came home an hour ago;
The bees are hived, and the nests are STILL
Where can the child be lingering so?
Oh, where can the little laggard stay?
So swift of foot as she ever has been,
1t is not so far, by the meadow Way.
To the lane where the blackberry vines begin.
Her mother stands in the doorway there
Shading her eyes from the setting SUM-
And up and down, with an anxious air,
Looks for a trace OF the truant one.
Has she wandered on where the swamp-fowers blow
In the darkling wood and lost her way?
Has she slipped in the treacherous bog below
That hides under moses green and gay?
Nay, timorous mother, spare your fears
Your little maiden is safe the while.
No marsh bird screams in her startled ears;
No forest mazes her feet beguile,
She is only standing amid the rye.
There at the end of the clover plain,
And pulling daisy star, to try
Whether her love loves back again;
And Will bends over the bars beside
Two heads are better than one, forsooth!-
Leaning and looking, eager-eyed,
To see If the daisy tells the truth!

Of them drunk. At the last election Of oth-
cials OF the South Town, party OF ta1-pay-
ers risked their lives in the effort to secure
something appro1imating fair vote, and had
to abandon the attempt. They were pursued
from the polls by the hootings and bowls
of the ta1-eaters and thieves. The men
thus chosen do nothing that could not
be far better done by other OIL
cials-e1cept steal. They are perhaps
without superiors in theft, Their so-called
assessments arc a series Of outrages. The
Assessors are always for sale. The
man who gives them jug of whisky, box
of cigars, q pair of boots, 8 ten-dollar note,
can have his assessment put as he wishes.
The man who declines to bribe them or who
has offended the bummers and scalaTags OF
the city is deliberately robbed by over-assess-
ment. We have already published figures OF
the assessments for 1874 and 1875,
which are conclusive proof Of the
laundering, the blackmailing, the deceit, the
crime, the reckless injustice, of the one OF
1875. Every cent paid the town officials OF
Chicago is premium on vice, reward for
rnscality. No one has ventured upon the
hopeless task of defending the township sys-
tenn here. It is fit only for small r1lrh
community, In great city, its functions
are discharged by other organizations, and it
merely serves as fortif cation whence the
tax-eaters raid and rob the taxpayers.

Even the New York Herdld, which, al
though protesting to be an independent
paper, has always been Democratic sheet
in all its sympathies, and has rarely spoken
kind or true word for Republicans, is dis
gusted with the Democratic members Of Con-
gress for removing the disabled Union
soldiers attached to the House, and calls the
net .'Another Democratic Blunder." It Of
firms TINT it will create great indignation
Throughout the country, and not unjustly,
and frees its mind in the following unre-
served manner:
We warn the Democrats that they will ezclte Just
Indignation and resentment by such acourse. The
Herald is yerr well known to all its readers has,
in every way and constantly discouraged sectional
bitterness any revival Of the w1r feslfng. What
the country wants Is harmony and good feeling But
it Is impossible to get these unless both parties show
goood sense, and tire Democrats ought eertsinly to
pay respect to tbs claims Of the poor fellows who
disabled in the seryics Of the Union We should be
glad to the leading Democrats in The House take
immediate measures to restore every disabled soldier
in the st which has heen sent ne to tho plscs from
which he has been expelled, They cannot succeed
any policy, and they will bs held responsible
IN this matter.

One of the heroic efforts made by ths Com
mon Council to find new ways of spending
the ta1-payers' money resulted in the crea-
ton Of Department Of Buildings, for which
the city paid 200 last year. The Super
intendent Of Buildings proposes to celebrate
the centennial year by squeezing So, 800 out
of our pockets for this year. He is to grab
$500; his Secretary-fancy MIKE BAnETs
Secretary ISL, 500; ten Inspectors of Build
ings (what is the superintendent for except to
inspect?), $4,000; two Inspectors Of Roofs
(could not the ten go up through the scutte
when they we're in the top stories p, $1,000 !;
m architect. $1,500. messenger, $500 !;
stationery (including, we presume, drinks),
$1,000; twelve horses. $500! contingent
fund. $4,000. Total, $4,000. This will not
do. The taxpayers will stand no such non-
sense. The whole department was created
for the sake of quarte1ing the Chief Of it on
the public purse. The good it does is prob
lematical its cost is certain. The people
were solennly assured that it would cost little
or nothing, and row, behold ! it asks for more
than twice as much as it got last year. We
cannot afford to be governed so much. No.
body but the ta1-eaters would grieve to see
the department abolished and Superintend-
end BAILEY obliged to earn his bread.
