Hampton's Speech at Auburn.

EASiovernor Robinson, III his speech
OF welcome to Governor Hampton at
the Shields celebration in Auburn,
New York, Wednesday, dwelt large
ly on the contest in South Carolina,
in which the latter has taken so prom
lhcnt a part.
Governor Hampton, in the course
Of his speech in reply, said. "Your
distinguished Governor has been
pleased to alludo to the contest in
South Carolina. That, my f,ionds:
was not political struggle. 1t rose
far higher than any such 'n'est ever
waged OIL this continent. 1t was a
c,ntcst for civilization, tor homo rule,
for good government, for life itself.

upon your minds, and 'wi!lrdo it by
illustration. What was done by the
Democratic Legislature OF South
Carolina in almost its first action2 A
vacancy occurred on the supreme
bench of the State; it was q place
which had been filed by men of the
very highest reputation in our COM
monwealth; the names of honored
sons of Carolina, who would have
done honor to any bench III any
country, were presented, but that
Democratic Legislature elected to the
Supreme Court citizen of New
York, who came to the State as O. sol
dier, and who is Republican. What
other proof do you want that wo are
not governed by proscriptivo feeling?
Does it not show that we have full
filled the pledges and promises made
through the last canvass to make no
distinction on account of race, color
or party2 We wanted to show you
people Of the North that we were
actuated by the highest and most pa
triotic feelings. We did not wage a
political canvass; we were fighting
for every interest dear to freemen,
and thanks to bravo and true mon
and glorious women of South Carroll

RAIN ON THE ROOF.
BY COATES KINNEY

When the human shadows hover
over all the starry spheres.
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rainy tears.
What bliss to press the pillow
OF u cottage chamber bed,
And to listen to the patter
OF the soft rain overhead.
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has AN echo in the heart;
And thoasanv dreamy fancies
Into busy being start.
And a Thousand recollections
Weave their air-threads into wool,
And 1 listen to the patter
or the rain upon the roof.
Now in memory comes my mother.
As she used. long years agOne.
To regard the darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn.
Oh! see her leaning DER me.
AS 1 list to this refrain
Which Is played upon the shingles
BY the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister.
With her wings and waving hair.
And her star-eyed cherub brother
A serene, angelic pairi-
Gliae around my wakeful pillow.
With their praise aud mild reproof.
AS listen to the murmur
Of the soft rain on the roof
And III her comes to thrill me
with her eyes delicious blue;
And mind not, musing on her:
F: That her heart was all untrue;
] remember but to love her.
With n passion kin to pain.
And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
To the patter OF the rain.
Art hath not of tone or cadence
That Can work with such spell
In the souls mysterious fountains,
Whence the tears of rapture well.
AS the melody of Nature,
That subdued. subduiny strain
Which Is play ed upon the shingles
By the patter Of the rain.

there stands gloomy-lookfng build
ing, large, but of severe style of arch
itecture, and painted in somber colors.
This is the Leuchtenberg Palace,
name suggestive of dark page in the
history of the Imperial family of Rus

will yet remember the somewhat ro-
mantle story of the marriage of Czar

ing young German officer. The Duke
of fLeuchtenberg was good-looking, but
comparatively poor and obscure, and
1t is said the wayward Princess made
the first advance, and even that the
stern Eaip, ro. consented TO the mar
riage only To avoid scandal. AT any
rate, romance and royalty do not seem
to agree well, and the union turned
out badly. The Duchess tired of her
former Idol, a gay and dsshing, but at
the same time scholarly andithoroughly

liaisons, the most notorious o. which
was with Count StsOgonOh. After. q
