This sort OF talk is frequent among the
advocates OF the Fraudulent President but
it avais him nothing.
HAYES was not constitutionally elected
President. The Constitution provides that
the man shall be President for whom ma
jority Of the electors vote. HAYES had no
such majority. His claims were based
upon such frauds that his partisans did not
dare to have them examined. He was de-
cared to be elected by the so-called Electoral
Tribunal, but the fact was otherwise
Moreover that tribunal was an unconsti-
tutional body, and its declaration cannot
have any constitutional validity. The
House Of Representatives. set forth the real
truth in the case in its resolution saying
that SAMUEL J. TILDEN had the majority of
the electoral votes, and that RuTHERroRp
Ii. HAYES was not elected.
Every ono understands that Mr.. HAYES
was dishonesty installed as President Mr.
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS stated the truth

by which the entertainment is 10 bc con-
verified into an endorsement Of the Fraud

The trick appears to have been engineered
by Mr. ELLIOT c. CowDIS. He is the same
person who endeavored to bcguile the Gov
ernor Of New York and other prominent
State officials to attend an entertainment
which he gave to HAYES Secretary of
state. Then he attempted to employ what
seemed TO be merely social occasion for
the purpose Of securing political committals
IN favor Of the frauds which made HAYES
President and EyARTs secretary; but the
gentlemen on whose carelcssnrss, indilrer

quired in such juncture. They unani-

SOMERS.

The rain that had long been hoped
and prayed for fell last week, in great
abundance, filling the sloughs and
creeks to overlooking, and giving the
grass, which before was brown, a bright
green color almost like that of spring.
The trees however betray the season
by changing for their rich coat of
green, a more sober garb, of brown.
Farmers are engaged at present, in
husking corn, digging potatoes, and
blowing. Corn is yielding fair. Pota-
toes not as good as was expected. Both
have been greatly impaired by the
drouth. Apples are almost a future.
No great loss without some small gain
There will not be as much ''hard CT
der to sell next year as there has been
this.
Mr. S. H. Clark has sold his farm.
[ hope he will not move far from our
neighborhood.
The Rev. Mr.. Parsons, who has been
pastor at Wilmot, of late, delivered his
first sermon at the M. e. Church of

One day, some years ago, boy went
with his father, on a short boating ex-
cursion down the river Thames, below
Kew. The child wished to remain
awhile on one Of the islands in the
river, and SO left the boat, while the
rest of the party went on. Soon after
there fell dense fog so that they could
not see where he was. They were
alarmed as they vainly tried to find
him. But at last they heard his voice,
"This way, father! This way father!
Attracted and guided by the voice, they
soon after took him on board. A few
months after, that loved boy died in
peace and went home to God. But the
father said that from that day it SEEM

voice, saying "This way, father, this

perfect form from head to feet.
The sculptured stone upon the right.
Was small maiden full Of grace
With eyes that seemed to sparkle bright
And fill with light the fair, still face.
A noble marble, grandly fair.
Upon the young girls left hand stood,
And all the people, pausing there,
Said, Its the perfect Womanhood."
There were more statues standing near.
Rich with beauty plain to view,
But none there were that shone so clear.
Or seemed so perfect as these two.
A subtle charm that none could tell.
Made bright the stones so still and cold
The sunlight softly on them fell,
And tiecked the young girl's hair with gold.
She passed along. Though fair and white
The marbles cleaned, they seemed alone :
The living beauty was the light
Had glorified the carven stone.
