THE PASSIONS REVERE.
REV. WASHINGTON GLUDDEN.


The pastor sits in his easy-chair,
With the bible upon his knee.
From gold to purple the clouds in TIE west
Are changing mOmently;
The shadows lie in tn" valley below,
And hide in the curtains fold;
And the page grows dim wherein he reads,
" remember the days OF old"
" Not clear nor dark as the scripture saith,
The past RS memories are;
No day that Is gone was ShadoWleSS,
No night was without its stars;
But mingled bitter and sweet hath been
The portion of his cup;
'' Th3 hand that In love hath Smitten," he saith,
" In love hath bound us up"
Fleet flies his thought over many field
OF stubble and snow and bloom.
And now ii trips through festival,
And now 1t halts at a tomb;
Young faces smile in his reVerie
OF those that are young 40 more.
And voices are heard that only come
From the winds OF a far-oh shore.
He thinks of the day when first with fear
And falterlng steps, he stood
To speak in the sacred place the Word
To the waiting multitude;
He walks again to the house of God,
With the voice of JOY and praise,
With many whose feet long time have pressed
Heavens safe and bles Sed ways.
He enters again the homes of toll
And joins In the hOmely chat;
He stands in the shop of the artisan;
He sits, where the Master sat,
At the poor mans fire and the rich mans feast
And who are the rich? Ask Him who keeps
The treasures that ever endure.
Once more the green and the grove resound
With the merry children'S DIM
He hears their shout at the Christmastide,
When Santa Claus stalks in.
Once more he lists while the campfire roars
On the distant mountain side,
Or, proving apOStleShip, plies the brook
Where the fierce young troutlings hide.
And now he beholds the wedding train
To fha alt tar oil lv Ia1nU
And the solemn words are said that seal
The sacrament of love-
Anon at the font he meets oEce more
The tremulouS youthful pair,
With white rObed cherub growing response
To the conSecrating prayer.
By the couch of pain he kneels again;
Again the thin hand lies
Cold in his palm, while the last far look
Steals into the steadfast eyes;
And now the burden of hearts that break
Lies heavy upon his own
The Widows woe and the orphans cry
And the desOlate mothers moan.
So blithe and glad, so heavy and sad,
Are the days that are no more,
So mOurnfuy sweet are the sounds that float
With the winds from far-of shore.
For the pastor has learned what meaneth the VOL
That Is given him to keep
Rejoice with them that do rejoice,
And weep with them that weep"
1t is not in vain that he has trOd
This lonely and toilsome way,
1t Is not In vain that he has wrought
In the vineyard all the day;
For the soul that gives is the soul that lives,
And bearing another'S load
Doth tighten your own and shorten the way
And brighten the homeward road.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer makes the
same complaint as has been made in New

third party has shown itself, that "there are
" a good many old Republicans in the ranks

g fellows who are now bowling about the
- condition of the laboring men were the
- most radical men, for years, in the RepuO-
lican camp, and indorsed all the legislation

advantage it has over labor; and it Is
little suspicious to see them trying to take
the lead In the new party"

The Nationals ought to remember and we
beg to remind them that 1t was the infamous
policy of the Republican party, on the fnan-
cial question, during the last ten years,
which brought about the depreciation of the
value of all kinds of property except bonds,
increased the burden of every species of in
debtedness, quoted the machinery in our
manufacturing institutions, and sent want
and starvation stalking abroad in the land.

There seems to be an effort the part of incen

other summer resorts have recently suffered. They
have been unsuccessful. and likely to be in the
future, owing to the well organized paid fire depart
ment here. Several largo stables have been fired of
late, situated in the heart of the city, surrounded
by hotels and dwelling houses, and, in fact almost
connected with them.
STABLES BURNED.
Last night Anthony Stewart & Sons extensive
stable in the rear of the United States Hotel, was
fired in the loft. evidently by the Of gunpowder.
The building destroyed and the hovl caught
fire, but happily, little damage done, though the
infiammable nature of the surroundings naturally
caused considerable alarm. The fire not per-
mitted to spread. and after about thirty minutes it
under complete control. The horses and car
rsges in the stable saved.
A SERIOUS MIsAIpREHENsIoN.
An attempt was made to arrest . vicious looking
sion becoming rife that he the incendiary cries
Of Lynch hin!" "Shoot the frebug!" and similar
ordinations heard on all sides and the crowd
joined in the pursuit. Fortunately for him he
escaped and it was afterward found that there
proof that he had set the stables on fire.
OTHER ATTEMPTS.
Early yesterday morning attempt was made to
fire the stables in the Of the Bellevue Avenue
Hotel, on Bellevue avenue, but the. smoke
and the barking Of q dog probably pre-
vented fearful confagration, as the watch
asleep in the loft was awakened and
enabled give the alarm before the fire gained much
headway. A few hours previous some persons were
discovered prowling around the Fillmore stables To-
Gated in a very innammable neighborhood An occu-
pant of an'udjonng house heard and saw them. and
fired pistol at them which served to brighten them
away. The owners Of the stables burned last night
lost stable by fire few weeks ago.
REWARD OFFERED.
Mayor Bedlaw will offer large reward for the cap
turc Of the freblgs tomorrow and there is talk Of
organizing vigilance committee. No attempt has
been made yet to fire any of the houses belonging
to the summer residents. Extra precautions will be
taken to protect the latter from the fact of their
being unoccupied.
