The Tyranny of Mood.

I.-MoRNING.
1t is enough: feel, this golden morn,
As IL a royal appanage were mine,
Through Natures queenly warrant of divine
Investiture. What princess, palace born.
Hath right of rapture more, when skies
adorn
Themselves so grandly; when the mountains
shine
TRANSPORTED; when the air exalts like wine
When pearly puppies steep the yellowing
corn?
So satisfied with all the goodness
OF Gods good world-my being to its brim
Surcharged with utter thankfulness no less
Than bliss of beauty. passionately glad
Through rush of tears that leaves the land
scape dim
who dares,"I cry Gin such a world, be
sadp
u.-NIGHT.
Ipress my cheek against the window pane,
And gaze abroad into the blank, black space
Where earth and sky no more have any
place,
Wiped from existence by the expunging rain /;
And as hear the worried winds complain,
A darkness darker than the mCrk whose trace
Invades the curtained room is on my face,
Beneath which life and Ife's best ends seem
vain.
My swelling aspirations viewless sink
As yon cloud blotted hills, hopes that shone
bright
As planets yester-eve, like them to. night
Are quilted. the impenetrable mists before:
oh weary world, Il cry,) how dare think
Tnou nsst for me one CLEAN of gladness

Ex-Confederates In CONGRESS

Whenever. In any Southern community an
ey-Confederate soldier is elected to any posi-
ton OF honor or profit, his election IL hailed
as fresh evidence that "a new rebellion" Is on
foot There ought to be good sense enough
In the North to perceive that many OF the best
men of both sections were In the respective
armies. and that 1t would be impossible
either North or South, TO make a fair and
honest selection Of party candidates without
including large number of those who served
In the Federal or Confederate armies. And
we do not think it would require great
stretch Of charity on the part of the Republi-
can to admit that the feeling which prompts
the Southern people to honor their brave mon
Is far from discreditable to their section. and
far from indicating desire for "a new re-
bellion." There IL no honorable Northern
man who would not despise the Southern
people II they were capable Of going back on
their natural obligations TO the men who
fought conscientlouslg their battles during
the war of the: rebellion. Human nature
must be more degraded than It now is before

against the brave and manly and In favor of
