There was no response. but anybody
who had been on the other side OF q
close board fence, at the foot Of the
garden, might have observed two boys
intently engaged In building mud pie.

" Amt you going in ?"

"Georgie - came another call, short

George, putting In the filling oi the pie.

Still no answer.
You needn't think you can hide
from me, young man, for can see you,
and II you don u come In here at once,
III come out there in a way that you
will know it,
Now this was an erninently natural
statement. but hardly plausible, as her
eyes would have had to pierce an inch
board fence to see George and even
were this possible,it would have requir-
cd a glance in that special direction
and not over the top OF pcar tree in an
almost opposite way. Even the boy at
the knOthole could hardly repress
| smile.
:" What's she doin' now ?" inquired
George.

father will be home in q few minutes,
and shall tell him all about what you
have done"
Still no answer,

DIaine,s Niudication

On the evening Of election day in Maine
MI. JAMES G. BLAINE, lhe knight errant
of poll ical chivalry,' as Bon lNGERsoLL
styles him. seut the following despatch to
his freud JAY GOULD:
have made clean sweep u ali inc Congressman die
tncts and ~ the counties in the STATE"
In another message the knight Grant OF
political chvalry teleeraphed TO New
York:
We t,ye triamphed By an imTsnse majority some
As BLAINE has been looking 20 his con-
fding fellow citizens for viudica,ion on
the charges which he did not care TO have
iutestiga ed by the House Of Representa-
ivcs, II is not surprising that he takes
rose-cOlorcd view Of the situation. Nor is
II surprising that the detailed returns sent
In from Maine, instead OF being compared
with those Of the last Presidential year,
ih' ND be set over against the figures Of
$50. Last year the Republican majority
was rdiculonsly small-less than four
iAousand-and thus the knight errant Of
political chivalry is enabled to figure gains
IN every lart Of the State. and so prove TO
the satisfaction Of himself and immediate
friends, including JAY GOULD and Bon IN-
GrKsoLL, that his gauntleted palm was
never soiled by the communicating coin OF
tie briber
Let not anybody who wants to form a
correct estimate OF the significance Of the
Maine election be carried away by Brother
BLAINE's enthusiasm. There is no over
whclming Republican victory in Maine
The returns 50 far received indicate that
CoNNoRs majority Will be between ten
md twelve thousand, and even the latter
figure will show falling of Of more than
thirty Per cent. from the Republican ma-
jority III September, 1872, the only election
which can lrgltlmately he adduced for
purposes of comparison with that Of Mon
dry last
Brother BLAINE may shout Victory, as
loud and as long as his breath permits but
b" cannot shout away the fact that five or
Elk thousand Republican voters in Name
nave become Disguised with his own job
berry and with the wholesale corruption OF
the party lac represents, and have resolved
10 train hereafter in honester company.
We think that our cool-headed and per
coptive neighbor, the Times, recognizes
the signfcauce Of the decline Of Republic
can strength in Maine, for 1t tried yester-
day 10 account for the reduced majority
by asserting that while n good many Re-
put lioans had moved out Of the State dur
ing IL past four years, a good many Dem
oCTats had moved In.

nor INGERsOLL,s DREAM.

One night, after speaking in his usual
fashion to an audience of many hundred per-
sons, Bob Ingersoll went to his cham Der, aud
laid him on his bed to rest. He had dream.
The man dreamed that he stood In space, face
to face with great clock, that slowly beat out
the seconds Of miserable existence. The face
OF the clock was as the CHASTITY face OF death.
The hands crawled over the face like the worms
Of corruption. and crawled slowly on toward the
midnight hour. Every tick Of the clock was the
rlash OF great drop Of blood IN a pool Of gore.
Every plush Of blood sprinkled his bosom with
Ia 'aous red. lie tried yalnly to wipe away the
stain; ai.d he found that his hands, too, were
red ike his bosnm and like the pool Of blood at
the foot Of the clock. But the hands Of the
clock crept on TO midnight.
Tdere shut In around him a hot, sufocating
FOG Of night. Then the hopes and loves and
hates and aspirations within him froaDed ana
gasped and died. The hot, sunocatlne shroud
OF vapor wrapped rim more closely, and he, too,
groaned and rasped; but death came not to
him as 1t had come to bis hopes and affections.
Hc stood there alone In the dying universe,
alone with the great clock that splashed blood
at tue beat OF every miserable second while the
hands or wled on to midnight.
To this man every breath was an agony, every
heart throb a century Of pain. He felt his bones
crumblng In decay, and his flesh rotting while
II clung to him. His tongue was swollen In Ills
mouth. His throat was dry aud horribly bitter.
lie cared no longer for tho stains Of red blooc,
but bathed his brow and his eyes 10 the pool and
moistened his lips with the cotted gore. In
the same breath he biasphemed and prayed for
the Hight Of morning.
The hands Of the clock reached midnight and
stopped. Iners growing uOufs there
after no dawn. no morning light, no sun. Even
the blood stopped FLASHING, and the pool dried
away SO that he could no longer moisten his
lips or quench the ndescribable thirstlt hat con-
sumed him.
In anguish that was terror, and In terror that
was agony he broke the awful silence and cried
is there no SUNLIGHT"
Voice, louder, harsher, hoarser, and as
sncerIns as his own, answered out Of the
silence:
There Is no sunlight for the stirrer up OF
strife"
After an eternity, again he cried:
as there no dawn"
And the Ncice replied, with a bitterer sneer:
There is no dawn for tue dener and the liar
and the blasphemer."
When an eternity OF eternities had passed, he
cried out once more
My God! Is there no morningw
And the Voice came back
" There is no morning and YOU have no G cd 70
