HANGING A POET.

Poets are born, not made. Every man
who can write tries once in lifetime to
write poetry. Boys have the poetical
spell as they have the measles; many OF
them get happily over it. The divine
aff1atus is no respecter of persons; only
the best men are supposed to make the
best poetry. This is seen in the difference
between Milton and Joaquin Miller; then
again, it is not seen in the difference be-
tween Upper and Byron. Byron was q
bad man, and wrote some tolerably good
verses; Upper is virtuous bard, but his
illusions are wonderfully sick. Poetry is
its own reward. Ploughing out his heart
songs, it brought comfort to Robert
Burns; it set the humble Shepherd of
Ettrick Vale high up on egotistical
stills; it has brought consolation to
dungeon denizens, and sent floods of music
out through prison bars. Joyce, whose
crooked and devious ways have brought
him to Missouri penitentiary, is poet,
and Marshall Thomas Grain, recently
hanged in Illinois for the murder of Will
liam Spence and George W. Sisney, was
another. Grain literally went out of the
world with original poetry on his lips. He
delivered long poem while standing on
the trap door to eternity, illustrating his
misfortunes, repentance and certainty of
future happiness. He appears to have
been 'given away" for a reward offered,
for he says:
When arrested then i was took
By Frank Lowe you no him well
Then for y reward he did look
Which he would get if did tell.
Mr.. Grain pleaded guilty to the charges,
and it is probable the man who took him
when he was asleep in Arkansas got the
reward. Another verse reflects somewhat
on the judge, though that officer is still |
lovingly looked upon. Mr. Grain, how
ever, entertaining the views held by many
modern philosophers prefers imprison.
ment for life to hanging. He says:
1t was the Judge whoes took my life awav
To prison me he could a sent |
My love ls upon him 'ght day
But to hang me was his intent
The closing stanzas are in the best style |
of DR.. Watts. He had found consolation
which could not be taken from him by
the choking laws men make, and said,
proudly:
fear not the gallows
Or lear not to die
Woen my soul on tn heaven
v it'll angels viii. ".
No one would wish to accuse a man
convicted of murder, with plagiarism,
but one verse Of the epilogue leads to the
belief that his cell contained q hymn
book, for it reads:
Dear lord to you my heart is given
To M Ike inr home above
Where augeis DWELL with thee in heaven
Where all is Joy and love
Tie .-l.-:y Of :. "a. from the gallows to
a blessed immortality. must be settled by
clergymen, whose lives are given to such
but there is Il possibility that
Grain may find himself mistaken On some
points, and obliged to undergo years of
oenitent probation in another life. 1t is

Tho accounts received from the con.

allege that their candidate is gaining in
strength, principally at the expense OF
Morton. Well. we shall see what we
shall see. and as the suspense will moi
be very long 1t can easily be endured
The New York Herald publishes some
remarks from the Democratic side of the
house, which are intended to discourage
Blaine's adherents; We doubt whether
they will have the effect designed. II is
now conceded that Blaine appears before
the convention with greather strength
than any other candidate, but whether
he will capture the necessary remainder
is difficult to tell. There are some
wire.pullers working for Conkliug They
have some prestige, place and power
which give the New Yorker great nd.
vantage. Between Blaine and Morton
there is no love, aud il the latter finds
he has no chance. he will certainly exert
himself and marshal his forces in Conk-
ling's behalf. But there, speculations
are tiresome, the facts will soon be
known and tho Republican nominee

workers have as much right to be pro-
tec.ed as the wealthy citizen OF the

home. the place where they have to
labor to get their living and perform the

that the heather nuisance so intr oduced
