not only that large sums of money are
yearly extorted from benevolent people
by fraudulent schemes and combina>
tons, but that the number of genuine
charitable associations there are not
less than nine hundred in London( is
altogether inordinate, and the public
confidence in them strangely blind.
Moreover the vast scope and resour-
ces OF these institutions, even when
they are wisely and honestly conducts
ed, offer immense announcement ia
those habits Of dissipation and improy>

the English poor. Finally, the segre~

most absolute ignorance Of one anoth~

chronic debt and perpetual calls for

the colossal system of London charities,
as it has hitherto been managed, has,
on the whole, done more to promote
than to extirpate pauperism.

POLITICAL NOTES,

Printers do tell the truth by mistake
sometimes as one of them substituted an
r" for &c" making a Republican editor
say, "We have unbOunded faith in the
rapacity of the Ohio Republicans
Y. Express.
Vogeler does not seem to be walking
away with the vote of Hamilton county
after the manner expected by the Re-
publicans, He is not the fine bird they
thought, but only p buzzard. And he will
run behind even West in the Cincinnati
stronghold.-Ak kron argus.
Some of the Republicans who opposed
the nomination of Judge West, at Cleve-
land,wer mean enough to base their op.
position on his blindness. Now that the
platform has been adopted they probably
see that he is no worse off in that respect
than his followers. Aud if there is any
truth in proverbs both he and his follow
ers are bound to fall into the diIch.-De.
troit Free Press.
The Ohio State Journal says that "it is
no unwarranted presumption to say that
the spec ches of Judge West in the coming
canvas will be ofsuch character and abil-
ity as to attract the attention ofthe whole
nation" If Judge Vests speech at the
Cleveland Convention is sample Of
what he can do the attention of the whole
nation will indeed be attracted, and the
whole nation would regret to see Junge

his miscbievous theories operative

This poem, written by "stella" (Mrs. Estell

the most beautiful ballad Of the kind ever written
We have read IT," he remarked "more than TWEEN
ty times, and always with increasing admlra
tlon"
II hath been said. "For all who die
There is a tear; l.
Some plning bleeding heart to sigh
Ger every bier"
But In that hour Of pain and dread
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
one farewell tear7
Who'd watch lIfe's last departing ray
In deep despair,
And sOotbe my spirit on its way
With holy prayeri
What mourner round my bier will come
In weeds Of woe,
And follow me to my long home
Solemn and slow7
When lying on my clayey bed
In icy sleep,
Who there oy pure af'eCtIonlcd
VIII come and weep;
BY the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid 1t cheer my dark repose,
My lonely restf
Could but know when am sleeping
Low In the ground,
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round.
Asiisome gem lay shrined beneath
That sods cold gloom,
'Twould mitigate the pangs Of death
And light the tomb
Yes | in that hour If l could feel
From halls Of glee
And beautys presence one would steal
In secrecy,
And come and sit and weep by me
In nights deep noon,
Oil I would ask Of memory
No other boon.
But Rh a loneler fate ismine,
deepOr woe;
From all loved In youths sweet time
IsOon must CO.
Drawn round me by robes Of white
In dark spot
To sleep thro' deaths long dreamless nigh
Lone and forgot.
