When the shroud Of flame enwrapt him
For a chill and watery tomb,

Its song of triumph bore,
And shining angels met him
Beyond the shadowy shore.
CHORUS.
Shining angels met him
Beyond the shadowy shore,

A conq'ror evermore.
Among the host of heaven
A glad new voice is known,
And sadly from our songs we miss
A dear familiar tone,
We sing with trembling voices
The songs we loved of yore,
The voice that thrlll'd us sweetly
viii sing to us no more.
CHORUS.
Oh faith that thro' all trials
Can lift the soul ON high,
And light the martyrs path way
To realms beyond the sky,
Beyond the flame and terror
Triumphant sounds the song,
He holds the fort of heaven"
And waits the coming throng.

How Would This Suit Your

The Philadelphia North Anlcricas
says: An enormous aged African keeps
cellar lunch and lodging room on south
Sixth street. He says he has not been
out of it for sixteen years. He furnishes
lunch to his customers from scraps gath
cred by begging around town. His price
for lodging is ten cents highland then
no one is permitted to lie down. He fur
nishes each chap with an empty nail
keg upon which to sit during the night.
tE- It Is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. The aristocratic Spitz dog is now 50
cheap in New York, 10 consequence Of the
hydrophobia scarce, that families of ordin-
AIRY means can afford to buy one or two and
enjoy the risk Of being bitten aud dying of
hydrophobia, just the same as the Fifth
Avenoodles.

THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION.
Fellow citizens, We have reached the
close o. political contest marked by
excitement which usually attends con-
tests between great political parties,
whose members pousa and advocate
with earnest faith their respective
crce,ls. The circumstances were per-
h0ps in no respect extraordinary, save
ia the GIoseness and consequent UNI
certainty Of the results. For the first
time in the history OF the country, it
has been deemed best, in view Of the
peculi1r circumstances OF ~" case,
that the ohjectiNns and qu". ions in
dispute, With reference TO thp counting
the electoral yUtcs, be referred to the
decision OF y tribunal, --osta5lished by
law for this sole purpose, IT, members,
all OF them, men of long established
reputation for integrity and intelligence,
and with the exception of those who
are also members Of the Supreme Ju-
dietary, chosen equally fram both Poit-
ieai parties its de Iteration enlightened

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.

With respect TO the financial condi-
dison OF ,he country, | shall not at
tempt an extended history ofthe embnr-
rassment and prostration which we
have suffered during the past three
years. The depression in all our varied
commercial and manufacturing interests
throughout the country which began in
September, 1878, still continues. 1t is
very gratifying to he able to say that
there are indications all round us Of 4
coming change to prosperous times.
Upon the currency question, intimately
connected as it is with this toric, may
be permitted to repeat here the state
mont made in my letter Of acceptance,
that in my judgement the feeling Of un-
certainty inseparable from an irredeenl-
able paper currency, with lis huctua-
lions of values, is one of the greatest
obstacles to prosperous times. The
only safe currency is one which rests
upon coin basis, and is at all times
and promptly convertible into coin. l
adhere to the views heretofore express
ed by NE in favor Of Congressional
legislature in behalf of an early re-
sumption of specie payment, and | am
satisfied not only that this is wise, but
that the interests as well as public sentl.
meat of the country imperatively do.
