Every Year.

The spring has less of brightness
Every year,
And the snow ghastlier whitcness
Every year;
Nor do summers flowers quicken,
Nor autumn's fruitage thicken
AS they once did, for we sicken
Every year
1t is growing darker, colder,
Every year.
As the heart and soul grow older,
Every year.
care not now for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is less and less enhancing,
Every year.
Of the loves and sorrows blended,
Every year.
Of the joys of friendship ended,
Every year.
Of the ties that still might bind me,
Until time to death resigned me,
My infirmities remind me,
Every year.
Oh how sad to look before us,
Every year.
While the cloud grows darker o erus,
Every year,
When we see the blossoms faded,
That to bloom we might have aided,
And immortal garlands braided,
Every year.
To the past go more dead faces,
Every year;
Come no new ones in their places,
Every year.
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evenings dusk they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
"You are growing DID," they tell us,
Every year;
You are more alone" they tell us,
Every year.
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year.
Thank God no clouds are shifting,
Every year.
Ger the land to which we're drifting,
Every year.
No losses there will grieve us,
Nor loving faces leave us,
Nor death of friends bereaye us,
Every year. Albert Pike.

A Scotch Hymn.

There are blossoms that hae budded,
Been blighted in the cauld,
And lammies that haze persisted
Because they left the faund;
But cover ye in aneath His wings,
Wha died upon the tree,
And gathered in His bosom
Helpless weans like you and me.
In the warld there's tribulation,
In the warld there is wac;
But the warld it is bonnie,
For our Father made it sac.
Then brighten up your armor,
And be happy as ye gang;
Though your sky be often elouded,
1t Wilma be for lang

Political,

The Tribune looks forward to fun when

General Devens probably had no idea
what a good thing he was saying when he
remarked, "When Mr.. Phillips calls you a
liar, a william, and u scoundrel, he merely
means that ne does not agree with you"
Tweed now says that he will have moth
ing TO do with the senate committee, and
will reserve his disclosures for the attorney
general alone. For a "broken old man" he
shows a pretty strong determination TO have
his own way.
The talk eff asking Evarts to resign be-
cause he is not in accord with the republi-
can party, is very good. The "stalwart'
papers say the same thing Of Hayes, but
they haven't asked him to step down and
out yet. They will give him a few days
more to repent in.

Hayes has been represented as entirely use

on the action of the same returning board
