POETRY.
Midsummer.
BY ANDREW B. sAxToN.

Midway about the circle of the wear
There is a single perfect day that lies
Supremely fair, before our careless eyes,
After the spathes OF floral bloom appear,
Before is found the first dead leaf and sere,
II comes, precursor of the Autumn skies,
And crown of Springs endeavor. Till it dies
We do not dream the flawless day is here.
And thus as on the way of life we speed,
Mindful but of the joys we hope to see,
We never think, "These present hours exceed
ALI that have been or that shall ever be-"
Yet somewhere on our journey we shall sfay
Backward to gaze on our midsummer day,
From the Midsummer Holiday .Scri6ner

THE MINE DISASTER.


LoSDoN Sept 13-The agony OF the
wives, parents and children of the two hun
dred and fifty men, who are without doubt
killed in the mine at Abercarne, it is i'm
possible to describe. The order to food the
mine was delayed as long as possible, in
the hope of saving few more lives, but at
last the order was given and the water was
turned ON and began to flow in great
stream down into the pit. A wall arose
from the crowd of women and men who
stood around, as they realized the fact that
even if by some miracle any Of the men
had escaped the explosion and the fire, they
were now sure to be drowned The loss of
life is by latest accounts two hundred and
seventy eight persons.

TILDEN's OATH.
What Would Be the Result Of Unssat!rg

Special 10 the Philadelphia

Times.
The Washington Post publishes a
| double-leaded editorial, the points OF
| which are here indicated. Gen. But
| Ter is understood to have suggested the
identical plan outlined, and he may
bc the lawyer referred To. ii is gencr-
| ally believed, too, here that Tilden did
privately take the oath Of Office on
March {, in New York, and that Ii
was administered by Justice Field, OF
the United States Supreme Court, a
brother OF David Dudley Field. Ii j.
not difficult to see that the purpose of
this article is 10 force the anti-Tildcm
Democrats to vote for an investigation,
The Posts points are: According to
one of the most leading minds of the
House of Representatives, there need
be no apprehension in the minds of
the anti-Tilden Democrats that an in
vestigdtion of the electoral frauds,
even though it should result in un-
seating Hayes, could have the effect
of installing the New York refOrmer
in his stead. The eminent lawyer

of title. 1t is necessary for President
to take the oath on the fourth day of
March, which, it is asserted, Tilden
failed To ds. His friends besought
him to 90 through with the form of
taking the oath to perfect his title.
Tilden at first intended to take the
oath in Il public manner, but abandon
his design a. soon as he learned of
Grants determination to arrest him
on a charge of treason and to throw
him into Fortress Monroe al an
instigatOr of scditiOn and rebellion,
upon his appearance at the Capitol for
that purpose. That Grant was pre-
pared for such action and would have |
seized Tilden's person il well known |
To many of both parties, and that Til |
den was restrained by such peril is |
equally notorious in private circles. |
The consequence is that if Hayes and |
Wheeler should be deposed the success /
sion would be vacant and the House |
would praueed to elect, the same as i'll
there had been no choice by the cleo
toral College, the presiding officer of |
the Senate dischargin% the duties of |
