Looking Forward.

Why turn, faint spirit, to the vanished past3
Why grieve that some vain longing might
have been?
Why brood DER broken hours no longer thine,
Or sigh io1~ conquests thou may'st never win ?
Leave tho poor faded hope and trust long dead,
And nurse the hearts unfolding bloom instead!
Fling your misgivings to the idle wind!
Fru;tion is the patient souls reward
Thy path through trouble to the good mani
Let not these petty weaknesses retard-
Tread with unfsltering step the rugged way
That leads this trial to the perfect day!
Press not thy bosom, like the imprisoned bird,
In sad repinings 'aainst the bars Of fate:
What though the skies are sometimes hung in
cloud,
Deem not, therefore, thy whole life desolate
Make tiny own destiny, thoughdansers throng-
Fearless advance, with every step grow strong
Turn not thy minds eye inward, where . waste
Spreads meath the spirits sky Of doubtful
gloom,
But look thou rather to the scenes without
Where sll Gods ~fairest, hoiest treasures
bloom;
Forget thyselt-cast each dull clog aside
And look in trust above, whate'er betlde!
Fold not thy hands in weary, dull despair,
Whatever shadows thy fair hopes enshroua-
Sleep not thy life away in idle dreams;
Nerve thee for Gods Own work-nor heed
the cloud
That breaks above thee toll will bring release,
Care fade away and struggle end in peace!

Careful Mother and Model Boy.

The two didn't belong to each other;
and this very good boy may have been
a little too smart and saucy.
Little Mary was prettily dressed, and
standing in front of the house waiting
for her mother to 60 out to ride. A
tidy boy, dressed in coarse clothes, was
passing, when the little girl said: "Come
here, boy, and sake hands wi me. l
dot a boy dus' Like you named joey"
The boy laughed, shook hands with her,
and said Give got a little girl iustlike
you, only she hasn't any little cloak with

Here a lady came out Of the door, and
said : "Mary, you must not talk with
bad boys on the street. 1 hope you
haven't taken anything from her. Go
right along, and never stop here again,
boyl"
That evening the lady wa called
down to speak with a boy in the hall.
he was very neatly dressed, and stood
with his cap in his hand. It was the
enemy of the morning. IT came to

said. IT 60 to Sunday-school, andhelp

"I'm very glad you're SO good" said
the lady, laughing at the boys earnest
ness. "Here's a quarter of q dollar for
you," ct don't want that" said Ben,
holding his head up very high. "My

Ingratitude.

While much that is good can be con-
fdently expected in Detroit boys, there
are, alas | q few who have no memory
for deeds of kindness. Such q n was
seated in the shade of the post-ofice the
other day, devouring a banana, when a
bow acquaintance came along and wanted
o taste.
"Hain't huff for only me-" was the
reply.
"Come, now, Jack, gin a Teller a
small bite. You know I've allus bin
good to YOU" " .
"You never done nuthin' for me ri
knows on" replied the eater.
CT hain't, eh !! Hain't 1 saved yee'
from lickings9 Hain't I lied for yea
"That was yer dooty," mumbled the
boy with the banana.
"See here, jack" continued the
other, rising to his feet, "d'ye member
the time when you was small and sick,
AMI had q sore heel; I was going by the
house n day, an you looked so sad
and poor that I let you wet me oil over

It was a powerful appeal, but just as

Not q POetical Campaign.

The New York Herald says that the
two parties have been unfortunate in the
selection of candidates for President and
Vice-President, as their names won't
rhyme, and thus we shall have no poetry
in the campaign. The Herald adds
We have received two poems already on
Tilden and Hendricks, whichwe publish
as terrible examples to warn our poets
forever from wrestling with such jaw
breaking subjects for verse. One isfrom
q Republican !; the other is from a
Democrat. They are equally infamous.
The Republican monster writes
The fight they'll all get killed. in,
Tho they dodge about and blend tricks;
Well scalp old Sammy Tilden
ndlikewise Tommy Hendricks.
The Democratic demon utters the fol-
lowing discordant sEriek:
Our ticket wants no gildin',
In the game we'll take the ten tricks,
Hurrah for Sammy Tifden .
And o tiger for Tom Hendricks.

The Ind1an War.

A correspondent with Gen. Crooks
army gives the following sad Incidents
of the battle at Rosebud creek, the
first fight with the Sioux: Looking be-
hind I saw q dozen Sioux surrounding
a group of soldiers who had struggled
behind the retreat. Six were killed at
one spot. A recruit surrendered his
carbine to a painted warrior, who flung
it to the ground, and cleft bis head with
one stroke OF the tomahawk. William
w. Allen, a brave old soldier, who had
been twenty years in the army, fought
with magnificent courage, and was kill
ed. The Sioux rode 80 closely to their
victims that they shot them in the face
with revolvers and the powder blacken-
ed the flesh. Captains Burrows and
Burt's companies of infantry by this
time were firing well directed 7olleys
from q position half way down the west
side Of the high bluff, and just after my
escape the Snake Indians, gallantly led
by their chiefs, Louissant and Cosgrove,
dashed with thrilling shouts into the
hollow, among the Sioux who we're in
the real of the cavalry, aud drove chem
back. Captain Henry, weak from the
bleeding of his wound, had been unable
to keep up with the retreat and had sunk
on the ground. Louissant put himself
astride the body and for five minutes
kept the Sioux off, when some soldiers
Of his company rushed back and rescued
him.
About the same time corporal Of F
company, of the Third cavalry, made a
last charge, with three men. and cap
tured from the enemy the bodies Of
their comrades, thus saving them from
the scalping knife. The Snakes took
two scalps from the Sioux whom they
killed in the hollow, and swung them,
fresh and bleeding, with gleeful triumph
above their heads as they returned. The
infantry under Captains Burrows and
Burt executed their part admirably.
Captain Henry's battalion of the Thru
cavalry and Captain Andrews company
of the Second cavalry, with all thei1
officers. displayed a most honorable de-
gree of fortitude and bravery. They
had a more arduous duty and suffered
more severely than any other portion
of the command. Colonel Royal was
circumscribed by orders in every n OF
his movements, and the disaster attend
ing the retreat would have been much
greater had it not been so skillfully d.
rected by him. On the left Of his line
was a lofty crescent shaped palisade,
toward which, early in the morning, he
deploy ed skirmishers. Had the order
to fall back been a little later this
would have been occupied. 1t would
then have been impossible for the Sioux
to have circled around to the rear, and q
fire could have been turned upon the
last high point held by them, which
would have compelled them to hide be-
hind it, while the cavalry could have
charged up the hollow and reached
them before they could realize th.ir
p%redicament. Then the soldiers could
have dismounted and fired such volleys
as would have ended the fight and made
q chase.

In the course OF a speech before the
Committee on Elections OF the House Of
Representatives at Washington, on Thurs
day, Henry A. Wise made the following
remarks in course OF a speech against the
legality OF Goodies election from Vir-
ginia.
Abiding to some reference made to
him in speech on the floor, he said in
regard to his political position, that he
was neither Conservative nor Repub'
lican. He described the Conservative

ed him and pardoned John Brown; and
vet Greeley was the man the Conservative
party in Virginia voted for for President
He said he had tried to keep Goode from
going into the Greeley party, but Goode
had disregarded his advice and had gone
over to the black Republicans and voted
for Greeley. Which Is the worst, said the
old man, black Republican or a black

was not fatigued, and II he would not like
some refreShments. He replied: al

He praised Grant for his honor and mag
nanimity in insisting that the parole
given at Appomattox should be kept it
good faith. He said Grant was q grea
chieftain and worthy to receive the sworC
OF Robert E. Lee. His denunciation o
the Conservative party Of Virginia wa,
terribly scathing, and referring to th'
actions OF Goode, against whom the con
test is carried on, using one Of his old
fashioned, fiery expressions, he said
"By the Eternal Gods, | would have my
right hand cut off at the wrist before
would hold my pen to sign the test oath.
