nese lanterns; the members of the
Band, the President, the speaker of the
occasion and few gray haired sires
mounted the new band stand. After
music by the band, the Presidential
Nichols, by way Of introductory made
few very fitting remarks and intro
duced to his many hearers, Hon. A. M.
Jackson, of Cleveland. The Judge
after complimenting the Democrats OF
Portage Cor their success at jollifying,
aud, saying that the late victory was
not victory of one party over anoth-
er, but of truth over error, of princi-
pie over party, proceeded to discuss
the old issues of the two parties. For
more than an hour and half, he kept
large crowd of enthusiastic people,
who had come 20 jollify, shout and
give full expression to their joy, anx-
iOus, silent listeners, except now and
then they would break out in wild
shouts at some quaint remark. An
universal feeling of approval regard
ing the sentiments and sayings of the
Judge. was in the air. Republicans
breathed it, aud to make harmony
more harmonious, could be heard to
say. "that's a good speech > che tells
the TRUTH" At the clOss of the speech
the band played lively air, and Mr..
Thomas in dismissing, requested every
one to join in three rousing cheers for
Bishop. This was responded to by
every voice. The bands played, the
people gathered around the bonfire,
but by eleven o'clock tho swarm of
people had dispersed for their homes,
feeling that the Democratic party is to
be the party in power for the wears 10
come. 1t was shorn of it's influence
and power, it was afflicted and there
were those who demanded that it give
up its name and disband. But it
would not. Like Job who was de-
prived of riches, of power and influ-
ence, and so loathsomely afflicted that
his wife bade him s'curseG God and die"
But he would not, and ",he Lord
blessed the latter end Oil oh more than
his beginning" in wealth, in sons and
daughters, and Job lived to an old and
honOred age. SO we predict for the
Democl attic party, that however glori-
Gus l. may have been in the past, like
job its latter end will be more glOri.

lived to good old age, i, may yet live

HEAT FOR House PLANTs.-Most of our

For general collection of house plants,
it is not best to allow the thermometer
to be above seventy, and if they could
be kept in a room where the thermome-

sixty-fve it would be much better. In
the night time fifty is high enough Give
little fresh air every fine day, and all
the sunlight attainable. An effort should
be made to give moisture to the atmos-
phere, for our own good, as well as the
health of the plants. This can be done
in various ways hy evaporating water;
but when plants are in separate apart
ment, like little greenhouse, it can be
done more conveniently and effeCtually,
although this separate apartment be only

ing it from the living room. In this,
water can be used freely, by sprinkling,
etc., and moist atmosphere preserved.

TOO LATE.

Too late, too late was never said
Ofmorning 'un, or bud, or fower,-
The light is true to hill and glade,
The rosebud opens TO the hour:
The lark neer asks the day to wait
But man awakes too late, too late
Too late, too late, our anger burns
The sun goes down before the flame
To gentle words Of kindness turns,
And we are scOurged with inward shame
To think our breasts have harbored hate,
And Pride bows dOwn-toO late, too late
d Too late, too late for public prayer
The words Of worship have begun: -
Our cheeks are flushed with Fastening there,
We enter as the chant is done;
And, pausing at the temple gate,
We stand and say, too late, too late
"Too late too late i" the poor man cries,
He asks his right the court delays
Till ruin comes, in fearful guise;
In vain he pleads, in vain he prays,-
The law requires too much debate,
And justice comes too late, too late
"Too late, too late !" who has not said,
The post is out,-the train is gone
The time is fled the debt not paid
The aid not sought,-the work not done:
Neglect makes up Lile's weary freight
And then we cry 100 late, too Later

GOING HOME.

Where are you going so fast old mani
Where are you goingso fast9
There's a valley to cross and river to ford
There's clasp of the hand and parting word,
And tremulOus sigh for the past, old man.
The beautiful, vanished past
The road has been rugged and rough old man
To your feet II Is rugged and rough;
But you see dear being with gentle eyes
Has shared your labor and sacrifice.
All that has been sunshine enough, old man
For you and me, sunshine enough.
How long since you passed DER the hill, old
man,
Oflife2 DER the top Of the hill2
Were there beautiful wales on the other side?
Were there flowers and trees, with their branches
wide,
To shut OFF the heat Of the SUM- old man
The heat Of the fervid sun?
And how did you cross the waves, old man2
0fsorrow the fearful waves2
Did you lay your dear treasures by, one by one
With an aching heart and Gods will be done,
Under the wayside dust, old man;
In the grave meath the wayside dust2
There Is sorrow and labor for all, old man;
Alas! there is sorrow for all;
And you, peradventure, have had your share,
For eighty long winters have whitened your hair
And they've whitened your heart as well, old
man;
Thank God, your heart as well.
You're now at the foot of the hill, old man;
At last at the foot Of the hill.
The sun has g ne down in golden glow,
And the heavenly city lies just below,
Go through the pearly gate, old man
The beautiful pearly gate.

THE HEPRESIDENTS SUNDAY WORK.

The Baltimore Sun severely censures
the President for his disregard of the
Sabbath day, and closes by saying
Sunday seems to be the Presidents fa-
vorite day for work Of this sort. 1t was
on Sunday he telegraphed to General
Ruger, through Secretary Cameron, to
sustain Chamberlain in South Carolina
with the aid of United States troops.
And for several successive Sundays
thereafter the President occupied his
Sundays in furnishing his political views
and purposes to correspondents of the
New York press so that political gntd
AnncS became accustomed to look into
the New York Monday morning papers
for president Grants Sunday talk"
Perhaps all this is intended to prepare
the public mind for that Sunday inaug-
uration of Mr.. Hayes on the 4th of
March next, which was mentioned in
November last as part of "the pro-
gramme."

WALT WHITMAN delivered an ad-
dress at service held in Philadelphia
last Sunday commemorative of the one
hundred and fortieth anniversary of the
birthday of Thomas Paine. In closing
he said;
The absolute fact is that he lived a
good life, after its kind, and died calmly
and philosophically, as became him. He
served the embryo Union with most pre-
cious serVice-a service that every man,
woman and child in our thirty.eight
States is to some extent receiving the
benefit of to day-and l for one here
cheerfully and reverently throw my peb-
BILE on the cairn of his memory. As we
all know, the season demands-or rather,
will it ever be out of season THAT
America learn to better dwell on her
choicest possession, the legacy of her
good and faithful men--that she will
preserve their fame, ifunquestioned--or
if need be, that she fail not to dissipate
what clouds have intruded on that fame,
and burnish it newer, truer and brighter
continually"
