The people feel that all the bad
time and accompanying misery are
the results of the policy OF the party
that has been in power daring their
happening, and they demand change.
A change cannot make matters worse,
and must cause Improvements. This
is the way the people are looking at
it, as is evnced by their voting in
Vermont and Maine. The truth is
this republican party has fallen into
great contempt and unpopularity. aud
the people want no more of it or its
rule. Some queer results in the polit-
ical world may be looked for this fall,
and the republican party will begin to
believe that it cannot steal the pre,i-
dency and misgovern the people with
lmpunity.

POETRY.
From the German of Heine.
Shipwrecked,
BY ELLEN NJ. MASON.

My love and my hope! All are shatteredl
And like drowned pale dead body,
Cast up contemptuous, by the sea,
I lie on the strand,
On the desolate base strand.
Before me the waters of waters surge,
Behind me lie sorrow and bitter pain.
Over me soft and slowly float the clouds,
Those formless gray daughters of the air,
Who from out the sea, in misI-buckets,
Filmy aterdraw,
And tedious work and wind and drag,
To empty again into the sea,
saddening weary business,
And useless even as my life.
The pillows whisper, shri the sea-gulls cry,
Old recollec ions DRIFT upon me,
Forgotten haunting dreams, faint faded pictures,
Tormenting sweet float by me.
Dwelt maiden in the North,
lovely being, aueenly fair,
The wooing snowy garments
Soft embracing the wilowy form;
Wealth OF dusKy turning hair,
Like bissful silent night
Loose from the braid -crowned head escaping,
Fell 30 fascinating sweet
Around the tender sweet pale face,
Large and earnest. beamed thoughtful eyes,
Like glorious black suns.
o, glorious black suns how oft,
Enhancing oft, l drank from thee
OF Inspirations pure wild flames,
And giddy stood in loves delirium-
Then blessed me the gentle dove smile
And the bashful, modest naughty lips,
And the bashful, modest naughty lips
Whispered words, sweet as moonlight,
Tender as perfume of roses
And my soul flew boldly upward,
Like an eagle clearing the distant heavens!
Silence, Oh, thou waves and gulls!
Long, long past is all, happiness and hope,
Hope and love! writhe moaning on the
ground
A desolate shipwrecked man,
And bury my bitter face
In the damp, cold sand.

1T sUsTAINs IT'S REPUTATION.

For nearly quarter Of century it has been
acknowledged that DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
has no equal in speedily and permanently
curing ''cold in the head" and all catarrhal af-
fections of the nasal cavities. Its immense
sale and great popularity are dependent upon
and entirely due to its merits and superiority
over all other similar preparations. Very many
physicians having thoroughly tested it. are
now prescribing it 10 their practice.
HALBURTON, Ont January LIST, 1877.
DIR. V. PIERCE, Buffalo. N. Y:
Dear Sir-For years suffered with chronic
catarlh. Last year it became more severe, Sc
riously affecting my throat and lungs My
stomach and blood were also sadly out of or
der. 1 tried many physicians and several ad-
vertised remedies, obtaining but temporary or
no relief. Ny general health became worse, so
that despaired of life. Seeing favorable no.
tice of your medicine, procured one half doz.
en- bottles the Golden Medical Discovery and
supply of DR.. Ssge's Catarrh Remedy. The
Discovery purified my blood and restored NV
general health, the Catarrh Remedy gave inn.
mediate relief, and after little perseverance
radical cure was effected.
Thankfully yours,
