The day had gone as fades q dream,
The night he'd come and the rain fell fast
While Ger the bleak aud sluggish stream
Cold blew tie waiilng blast.
In penslve mood I idly raised
The curtain from the erain-splashed glass
And ag into the street l gaEed
saw two women pass.
One, shlVerlng with the bitter cold,
HeT garments heavy with the rain,
Limped By with features wan and old,
Deep.furroWed with sharp pain.
A child In form, . child In years;
But from her pite0us, palid face
TIE WEAKNESS Of life With tears
Had washed all chlldllke grace.
And as she passed me, faint and weak,
with throbblng heart about to break,
"'MoVe onl Move ont where shAll

The other, who on furs reclined,
In br0ugham was driven TO the play;
No Thought within her vacant mind
OF those 10 rags that day.
With unmoved heart and idle stare,
Passed BY the beggar In the street,
Who lifted up her hands In prayer
Some charity to meet.
Both vanished In the murky night
The outcAst on step TO die;
The lady to Q scene OF light,
Where Joy alone did sigh.
But angels saw amid her hair
What was by human eye unseen;
The grass that grows Oh graves was there
With leaves OF ghostly green.
And though her diamond dashed the light
Upon the hatterers gathered near,
The outcasts brow had gem more bright
An angels plying tear.

The elections b Ohio have Tor many
years been very eioss end exciting, and
iris year ls 20 exception to the rule, al.
though Il is 40 OlE-yeaF. A United
States sonatoFship is at stake, and thai
always brings out The big guns. The
great leaders and distinguished sons
could not afford to be Idle, for . greal
deal rests upon The services they do the
party. When the next election comes
OF In Mississippi We shall see thai
things here win be very lively too, for
there are not less than half o dozen
men, even al this early day, calculating
their chances TO succeed "Our Bruce"
AZ It Is In Ohio now, Il will be in Mis-
siSslppl In two years more.
In Ohio we find Stanley Matthews
and Tom Ewing engaged In jointly dis
cussIng the issues as they are under
stood by the West, for Ohio iS the
great leading Western State. 10 q
few days Garfield and PendleLon will
be matched In the same way. In addi'
tlon 10 these great leaders, the Guberna-
torial candidates are in the field, and q
host of good stump speakers. To use
an expression well understood BY the
"bOys," the Buckeyes are making
things "red hot"
Though the Democrats are touching
up Matthews, Charlie Foster and Hayes
right lively on the Electoral Fraud, the
two great Issues 10 the campaign are
the "Repeal of the Resumption
Act and the Reconciliation OF
Silver" The Democrats are unquali-
fedly IN favor Of both measures, while
the Republicans arc opposed to both
measures, but arlfGlly trying to dodge
the silver question. The close ap.
prOach Of greenbaCks to par with gold
is no doubt strengthening the Repub-
liCans very much In their opposition 10
the repeal of the Resumption Act, but
the Democratic speakers are efeclually
answering them, BY showing the great
suffering England had to 90 through to
reach specie payments after the Napo'
leonic war, after the notes Of the Bank
Of England were as near par as Our
greenbAcks are now. There is no doubt
In our mind about the Democrats hav'
ing The just aud popular eide Of thai
question. On The silver question
the Democratic arguments arr
simply unanswerable. They are 81
strong that the Radical speakers have
! pretended TO take the position that tht
demonstration Of silver ought 10 br
accomplished. But as Tom EwinI
says, they want to remonetizs only Il
q limited extent, aud then refuse Il
pay off Il Ie bonds In silver. Thei
policy has been 10 limit the coinage o.
silver, aud make II receivable only fol
debts of FIVE dollars. There iSno bond
of the United States SO small as Eve
dollars, consequently Ewing is right il
his position, that silver is to be remone
tizeh sufficiently only for the poo
man, while the rich bondholders are Il
have gold.
These great questions are beint
thoroughly discussed, and we therefor
believe the Democrats will carry tn
State BY handsome majority. Tn
election comes Off Tuesday, the 9th o
October.
