vote was 3,579,793; in 1876 Tilden's e
vote was 4 4,3O2, 636, or 125, ,si3 more
than Grants. In 1868 Grants total
vote was 3,Ol3,1Ss; Seyn,our's o.
7O8,GOO. The increase of the Re.
publican vote in eight years, from
Grant to Hayes, was ,O27 ,G10 while
the Democratic increase in the same
time, from Seymour to Tilden, was

THE LOVERS
In different Moods and lenses.

Sally salter she was a young teacher who taught,
And her friend, Charley Church. was preacher who
praught,
Although his enemies called him screecher who
scraught.
His heart, when he sougat her, kept sinking and
sunk,
And his eye, meeting he. $ began winklng nd wank
While she, in her turn, fell to thinking and thunk.
He hastened to WOO her and sweety he wooed
For his love Lcew until to mnu atain it gcewed
And what he longing TO do then he dooed.
In secret he wanted to speak and he spoke,
To seek with his lips what his heart long had soke;
So he managed to let the truth leak and it oke.
He asked her to ride to the church and they rode;
They 80 sweety did glide that they both thought they
clode,
And hey c5me TO the place to be tied and tode
Then homeward he said let us drive and they droye
And soon as they wished to arrive they arrove /;
For whatever he couldn't contrive she conuoye.
The kiss he WIS dying to steal then he stole,
At the feet where he wanted to sci then he knols
And he said, Il feel better thai ever fole."
So they to each other kept clingiug aud chung,
While time his swift current was winging aud wung
And this the thing he was bringing and brHng.
The man Sallie Fanted to catch AMI had caught
That she wanted from others to snatch and had
snaught-
Was the one that she now liked to scratch aud she
scraught.
And ChaFleys warm love began freezing and froze,
While he took to teazng and cruelty toze
Ard the girl he had wished to be squeezing and
squose.
''Wrech!" he cried when she threatened TO leave him
and left,
GLOW could YOU deceive me as you have deceit ~
And she answered, Il promised to cleaye and I've

Ebenezsr Excursion.

We suppose that Ebenezer is rot very well
known to most of the readers of the HERALD,
for it is neither city, hamlet or town, but is
neighborhood deriving its name from the neat
little church situated in the western part of
Wingville township, called by that name 1t
has been customary for several years for the
Young people of this neighborhood to have an
excursion to Castle Rock. This year Satur-
day, June I'd, was looked forward to with
universal interest, being the day appointed to
co. It had been agreed upon to meet at the
corners north Of the charch at O'clock A. NJ
The party was larger than usual, the girls with
their neatly irond dresses and sunbonnets, and
the bows whose Sunday best had been taken
from their weeks resting place day sooner
than usual, was arranged as tasty as they
would be Fourth Of July, or Fair Day. All
seemed happy, blithe and gay. The question
was, which way shall we go? Each one had an
opinion and these opinions were expressed in
concert, which was so intelligent to the driver
that the party separated-but to meet again.
The ride of course was splendid. We met
again at the Castle, about IL O'clock. The
Rock looked as beautiful as ever, and to the
lover of nature the fact that "a thing of beauty
is Joy for ever" could not be denied After
unloading on the green near the spring short
time was spent in playing croquet, ram bling
lhro ugh the grove, etc, uns1 dinner was called
which did not need repeating
Then came the time for climbing the Rock
The boys brown and sinewy hands were
ready to assist those of fairer hue with
pleasure. Had the Rock been an animate
being it would doubtless have had strange
thoughts, for certainly it received merry
crew. 1t was decided to pass the Big Spring
on the home trip and have supper there 1t
was lovely evening and as the sun sank be-
hind the hills nature seemed robed in her
richest. The party returned home somewhat
tired but feeling that the day had been wei!
spent. We approve of these excursions. We
are of the unfortunate number who in conse-
quence of Adams sin have to earn our bread
by the sweat of the brow, and little recreas
ton occasionally breaks the monotony and
where is better place for such occasions
than at Castle Rock? Try it. PAuc
