From the Burlington Hawkeye.l
The Romance Of the Carpet.
ny ROBERT RuRpErrE.

| Basklng in peace in the warm spring sun,
South hill smiled upon Burlington.
| The breath OF Mayl and the day was fair,
And the bright notes danced in the balmy air.
4 And the sunlight cleaned where the restless
Kissed the fragrant blooms on the apples trees.
His beardless cheek with a smile was spanned
As he stood with a carriage whip In bis hand.
And he laughed as he dored his bob-tailed coat,
And the echoing folds OF the carpet smote
/ And she smiled as she leaned on her busy mop,
And said she would tell him when TO stop.
So he pounded away till the dInner-bell
Gave him little breathing SPELL
But he sighed when the kitchen clock struck
And she said the carpet wasn't done.
But he lovingly put in his biggest licks,
And pounded like mad Till the ciock struck six.
A nd she said in a dubious kind of way
That she guessed he could finish IL up next day.
Then all that day, and the next day, too,
The furze from the dirtless carpet flew.
And she'd give II a look at eventide,
And say, "Now beat on the other side"
And the new days came as the old days went,
And the landlord came for his regular rent.
And the neishbors laughed at the tireless
And his face was shadowed with clouds OF
gloom.
Till at last one cherries winter Gay,
lie kicked nj the carpet and slid away
over the fence and down the street,
Speeding away with fDoisteps fleet.
And never again the morning sun
Smiled at him beating his carpet dun.
And South Hill often said with yawn,
"Where is the carpet martyr gone9"
Years twice twenty had come and passed,
And the carpet swayed in the autumn blast;
For never yet, since the spring day fine,
Had II ever been taken down from the line.
over the fence a gray haired man,
Cautiously climb, CLONE, elem, clum, CLAMP.
He found him a stick in the old wood pile,
And he gathered IL up with a sad grim smile.
A flush passed over his face forlorn,
As he gazed on the carpet, tattered and torn.
And he hit a most resounding twack,
Till the startled air gave its echoes back.
And out of the window a white face leaned,
And a palsied hand the dim eyes screened.
She knew his face, she gasped and sighed,
"a little more on the under side"
Right down on the ground his stick he throwed, |
And he shivered and said, swell, I'm blowed." |
And he turned away with heart full sore,
And he never was seen, no, not no more.

utterly irreconcilable with a lasting de-
votion TO the Union of the States. l do
not have the slightest doubt that these
views are honestly held by those who
avow them. They are proclaimed by able
men. with the force and skill-not, in
deed, of logic, but of a sophistry which
deceives the unwary and sometimes en-
traps even the watchiul
There can be no doubt, | think, that
the overwhelming majority Of the people
Of the country, and especially Of the
North. are hostile to further annexation
of Southern territory. That was plainly
shown when Mr.. Stewards proposed pur-
chase of the Island of St Thomas was
peremptorily rejected; and still later
when Gen. Grants very earnest advoca-
cy OF the San Domingo scheme utterly
failed to secure support even at a time
when his administration was peculiarly
powerful and influential in shaping LEA
sures and directing policies. For a peri.
cd of 60 years from the adoption of the
/ Federal Constitution annexation Of terri.
/ tory on the south was a favored policy
with our Government In 1903 we pur.
chased Louisiana, in 1919 we purchased
/ Florida. in 1S45 we annexed Texas, in
/ lS48 we took a vast area from Mexico
and in 1853 we paid large price for q
small tract from the same country. All
these purchases were made by Southern
/ Presidents, except the small one Of 1853
and that by a President wholly devoted
| to Southern interests. The aggregate
area of these additions to our domain i.
