P o ETRY
THE IRON HORSE.
By J. W. RILEY. 4.

No song is mine of Arab steed-
My courser is of nobler blood
And cleaner limb and aeeter speed,
And greater strength and hardihood
Than ever cantered wild and free
Across the plains Of Araby.
Go search the level desert-land
From Sana on to Samarcand-
Wherever Persian prince has been.
Or Dervish, Sheik, or Bedopin-
And defy you there to point
Me ont steed one-half SO fine
From tip of ear to pastern joint
AS this old iron horse of mine.
You do not know what beauty is!
You do not know what gentleness
His answer is to my caress,
Why. look upon this gait of his!
A touch upon his iron rein
He moves with such stately grace
The sunlight on his FURNISHED name
Is barely shaken in its place;
And at touch he changes pace,
And gliding backward, stops again.
And talk OF metal"--Ah! my friend,
SEch passion shoulders in his breast
That when awakened it will send
A thrill of rapture wilder than
Ere palpitated heart of man
When flaming at its mghtiest.
And there's ferceness in his ire
A maddened majesty that leaps
Along his veins in blood of FIRE,
Until the path his vision sweeps
Spins out behind him like thread
Unraveled from the reel of time,
As wheeling on his course sublime
The earth revolves beneath his tread.
Then stretch away, my gallant steedl
Thy mission is a noble one;
You bear the father to the con,
And sweet relief to bitter need,
You bear the stranger to his friends
You bear the pilgrim to the shrine,
And back again the prayer he sends
That God will prosper me and mine.
The star that on thy forehead CLEANS
Has blossomed in our brightest dreams.
Then speed thee on thy glorious race
The mother waits thy ringing pace;
The father leans an anxious ear
The thunder of thy hoofs to hear.
The lover listens, far away,
To catch thy keen exultant neigh;
And where thy breathings roll and rise
The husband strains his eager eyes,
And laugh of wife and baby glee
Ring out to greet and welcome thee.
Then stretch away, and when at last,
The masters hand shall gently check
Thy mighty speed, and hold thee fast,
The world will pat thee on the neck.

jay Gould.
From the MountalEeer.

The Denver Nsscs says that Jay Gould
is Republican. When Jay Gould and Jim
Fisk. were dealing in New York State
judges and Enc railroad stocks, Gould was
called before an investigating committee Of
the Legislature. One member Of she COM
mittee asked him his politics. and the re-
ply was, ssI am Democrat among Demo-
crats,a Republican among Republicans, and
always for Erie Probably Gould has re-
formed SINCE then, and there was certainly
an opportunity for reform work; but how
ever that may be, there is consolation in the
statement made by the Mems to the effect
that this trickster will work with the DEM
ocratic party. We do not believe he will
be able to rob Colorado of much money, nor
piaeu e stskin iss ;sss eis &c
more certain that the sun will rise tomorrow
morning than that Jay Gonld will bankrupt
any political party With which he is in. any
manner concerned. .+

Denis KEARNEY.-The notice which
is necessarily taken, even as a matter OF
news, in the daily press of the move
ments aud harraugues of the California
agtator, Denis Kearney, gives him all
the advantage of publicity which would
accrue 10 the best of men and best Of
causes under like circumstances. This
is a matter of course, and need not be
otherwise. But we notice that some Of
the newspapers in referring to him are
disposed to indulge rather too much in
his own line Of epithet This looks like
going from bad TO worse, and is calcu
lated TO keep those who abuse the liber-
ty of free speech in countenance.
Though very large crowds collect at
times to hear the repetition of the indis-
criminate denunciatiOns of Mr.. Kear-
ney, as was the case here in Monument
Square last Friday night, mistaken judg-
ment should not follow therefrom. That
the crowd here was drawn forth in great
part out of curiosity, and probably the
same is the case elsewhere, TO see Mr..
Kearney, note his fierce vigor of man
ner, and hear for themselves what he
had to say, there can hardly be doubt.
70 suppose that much else than curiosi-
iy brought the large majority to the
spot would not be complimentary to the
intelligence and good disposition Of our
workingmen and citizens generally.
While Sir. Kearney SO freely abuses all
and sundry,he suggests 10 substitute or
cure for the evils complained OF, and all
must admit that be is incapable of so
doing. Whatever there may be for re-
form and change, it is clear that The
remedy is to come through other than
Mr. Kearneys agency. Mr.. Kearneys
partial success in California, from
whence he recently came, was due TO
adyentitious circumstances. Many there
were ready to follow any leader who
was bold enough to attack the two
things they were eager to rid themselves
of-the gigantic monopolies that con-
troIled the politics, aud the crowds Of
Chinmaen that under cut the white la
bor of the State. These themes had in
California a special local significance.
In coming East Mr.. kearney seems TO
have mistaken his audience and voca-
tion. Sun.
