William Cullen Bryant, in late tissue
of verse" expresses gratitude that "our
sacred league Of States" has been pre-
served. There was no good reason to
suppose that the justly admired poet,
who sang so sweetly of the flowers, the
groves, the brooks and the meadows, who
wrote "Thanatopsis, and who has given
US the best literal translation of Homer,
is a profound statesman, and deeply
versed in the character and structure of
governments. "Your poets" said Sir
Robert Walpole, ''are not generally
statesmen and men of business" Lord
Mansfield was endowed with considerable
poetic talent, and Mr.. Pope, regretting
that he had not cultivated it, exclaimed:
How sweet an Ovid was in Murray lost"
In view, however, Of Mr.. Bryant's
knowledge of governments and his Ca
pacities as statesman, staunch Repub-
lican though he be, and standing as he
does pre-eminent among American poets,
and unsurpassed in scholarship and ele-
CANT literature, we should not feel in
ciined to say:
How great Webster was In Bryant lost.

POLITICAL TEMERITY.

The Bulletin has violated the creed of
the infalible Democracy. 1t has pointed
out the inconsistency of reformers who
tolerate the extravaganza of certain polit-
ical offices. OF the civil sheriff and his
profits the Bulletin says:
Here is an Office which draws more
money from the people than any other six
oficas i'll the State. One-quarter Of its
present fees would pay its expenses and
handsomely compensate its incumbent. If
the man who is fortunate enough to attain
ments of one term of Office he is either
spendthrif. or else he is obliged to declare
a dividend with outsiders. The absolute
title to the office is vested in the Demo-
cratic party, and there can be no doubt
that the Radicals positively yearned to re.
duce the princely income it EFFORTS from
the people ANY bill looking TO such a re-
Senate with wild acclaim. Yet no such bill
was passed. Who is to blame!
The Office still stands, with it's enormous
fees, untouched, defeating even the meagre
relief afforded the overOurdened taxpayers
by the premium bond act, and at the same
time keeping the city out of thousands of
dollars that might be paid into its treasury
but for its exacrions. 1t preys upon the
community like a vast parasite, its number
less fees, like the pores of sponge, absorb
ing thousands of the peoples money an
nually.
We are too magnanimous to wish that
the Bulletin should suffer from this bold
avowal. It will be read out of the party.
The emoluments of this lucrative Office
will not be devoted to improve the circu-
Iation of the Bulletin. On the contrary,
that independent journal will be read out
Of the party, nor will its name be ever
put into the hat at the drawing for a
partisan organ. What, M. Bulletin, do
you not know that all Office belongs to
the Democracy as Of right that it is
heinous crime for others to aspire to such
Office? that Democrat may be honora-
bly, raised from insolvency to wealth by
the fees derived from an impoverished
people? that such an Office may be joint
stock concern in which others than the
incumbent may live in idleness upon a
quota Of these lucrative revenues? You
may, then, 1fr. Bulletin, prepare to hand
in your political checks. The inordinate
profits of this Office will not be reduced
and the Bulletin will receive part of
them. It is rather Bismillah. Nr.
Bulletin, we are sorry for you. You have
made great blunder in having attacked
a monster enormity. You will be crushed,
pulverized, extinguished. We can not
withhold the epitaph pronounced by
feudal Scotchman upon the fragments of
a small bull who had attacked locomo-
tive: "Ah, me- little fellow, ye have good
pluck, but domned bad judgment.

The New York Sun is anxious for some.
thing to be said in favor of Tilden. 1t
says: LET the poets thrum their Tyres

some noise from the Tyres, but honest peo-

nounced the war against rebellion folly;
a man who issued wildcat money to run q
mine company; q man paralyzed and
blind of an eye, SO to speak. There are
nsny doggerel writers in the Morrissey
party, but no poets.

Verify, Governor Hayes is preaching a

construction of the constitution.
His remarks on the school plank in the
platform are equally straightforward with
his demand for recognition of personal
rights. The only arguments against it
which we have seen are: l. There is no
danger Of the schools being made secta-
rian in any of the United States; and !
2. If the question requires legislation at |

States If the first proposition be true,
there can be no harm if the whole people
OF the United States lend their assistance
to make the danger impossible, since such
action will be in accordance with the ad-

WHEN MEN ARE AT THEIR BEsT.-Dr.
Beard states that from analysis of the lives
of thousand representative men in all the
great branches of the human family, he
made the discovery that the golden decade
was between 40 and so, the brazen between
90 and 80; the iron between 30 and go. The
superiority of youth and middle life over
old age in original work appears all the
greater when we consider the fact that all
the positions of honor and prestage- profess
orships and public stations-are in the hands
of the old Reputation, like money and po-
sition, is mainly confded to the old. Men
are not widely known until long after they
have done the work that give them their
fame. Portraits of great men are delusions;
statutes are lies! They are taken when men
have become famous, which on the average,
is at least twenty-five years after they did
the work which gave them their fame. Or
iginal work requires enthusiasm. If all the
original work done by men under 45 were
annihilated, they would be reduced to bar
barism. Men are at their best at that time
when enthusiasm and experience are almost
evenly balanced. This period, on the av-
erage, is from 3S to 40. After this the
law is that experience increases, but enthu-
siasm decreases.

OUR FIRST GRAY HAIRS.

AS the first big pattering drops that fall
With splash on our lattice pane
Make us shiver and start as they warn us all
OF storm or of coming rain,
So is it with life when we're growing old
And age steals on unaware
We shiyer and start, if the truth were told
At the sight of the first gray hair.
We mark not the light of our MONDAY hours,
Like the first streaks the dawn doth bring;
We hail not the birth of the summer flowers
AS We do the first snow-drOps of spring;
On the bleak winter wind we look not with grief
Though it howl through the branches bars;
But we sigh when we witness the brown Autumn
leaf
And behold Natures first gray hair.
Gray hairs may come when the beaming eye
Has none of its brightness lost,
When with buoyant heart, we would fain deny
Youths Rubcon had been crossed
But the ivy clad tree looks young and green,
Though sapless trunk it BARE
And naught of decay on our cheek may be seen
When we witness our first gray hair.
Oh noble crown to noble life
Is head of silvery gray,
And It's WELL if tired with the struggle and strife,
1t finds rest at the close of day;
But gray headed sins are crownless curse,
And the parent of dark despair
And it gives us pang, oh doubly worse,
Than the sight CT our first gray hair.
Come early, come late, like knock at the gate,
Is that first soft silvery thread,
And it joins with its silence the years that wait
With the years forever f1ed
1t silently tells us we're journeying on;
Is silently questioning us-Where?
Oh faithful mile stone were the truth but known,
Is seen in our first gray hair.

BLUE EYES AND BLACK EYES.

A German sGo07t, DR.. Schaafhausen,
says that blue eyes indicate lack of color
ing matter which originally proceeded from
inferior nourishment, and was evidence of
weaker organization than is possessed by
persons of dark eyes. The less coloring
matter there is, the lighter the hue of the
eye, until, by reason Of it's utter absence,
the blood vessels become visible, and the
eye is red, as is the case with the Albinos.
The fact that people living in the country,
other things being eqnal, have light-colored
eyes more frequently than those living in
cities is accounted for by the inferior nutri.
tive value of the vegetable food of the for
mer as compared with the meat and beer of
the people of the cities. In the mingling
of the blonde and dark types, the latter
usually show the greater vitality and the
children assume the darker complexion.
The blonde complexion usually carries with
it finer organization and a higher and
thinner voice. Of sopranos and tenors a
majority have light. colored eyes and light
complexions, while of most alto singers,
and particularly of bassos, the reverse is
true. The fact that light hair and eyes are
more numerous in northern than in south
ern countries is attributed to the colder eli
mate, which consumes. the pigments of
those features. DR.. Schaafhausen's conclu-
sions are based on statistics carefully gath
cred.

SOBER THOUGHTS.

The heart is crystal palace; once broken
it can never be mended.
Resolve to preform what you ought, and
perform without fail your resolve.
Plotinus thanked God that he was not
tied to an immortal body.-Leighton.
Always speak well of your friends, but of
your enemies speak neither good nor evil
Self-indulgence and idleness are sure to
sap the foundation of spiritual strength.
The richest man on earth is but a pauper
fed and clothed by the bounty of Heaven.
Never be diverted from your duty by any
idle reflection that silly world may make
upon you.
The plants look up to heaven from whence
they receive their nourishment.- ak
spear. t.
Error, when she retraces her steps, has
further to go before she can arrive at truth,
than ignorance
Grace in the heart shows itselfin the tenn
per, conversation, and conduct; as life in a
tree appears in its leaves, branches and
trunk.
In politics, as in religion, we have less
charity for those who believe that half of
our creed, than for those who deny the whole
of it.
l beseech you to treasure up in your
hearts these my parting words:-Be asham-
ed to die until you have gained some victo-
ry for humanity Mann.
Limit your wants; the Must is hard: and
yet solely by this Must can we show how it
is with us with our inner man. 10 live ac-
cording to caprice requires no peculiar pow
er.-Goethe.
Never let a man imagine that he can pur-
sue good end by evil means without sin
ming against his own soul! Any other issue
may be doubtful; the effect on himself is
ertain.-Southey.
