State Temperance Alliance.

1t is thought by very many Of the most active
friends of Temperance that the cause could be great
ly advanced in this State, by judicious con-
centration of purpose and effort on the part of the
various Temperance organizations, the Church and
the public generally, by association in some State or
ganizaton, similar in plan and scope to that of the
Massachusetts State Temperance Alliance" which
organization has existed in that State for upwards of
twenty-five years, and embraces in active member
ship, members of all the various Temperance organ
izations, as well as the Clergy and Church of almost
every denomination; receiving and disbursing from
fourteen to eighteen thousand dollars every year au
thenticating and sending out Lecturers into every
portion of the State arranging for public meetings
and supplying speakers, and closely watching the
Temperance pulse, and providing means and meas
ures to keep it in healthy and vigorous state;
:ully scrutiDizing all legislation, and ready at all
times to sound the alarm when encroachm ents from
the enemy are attempted. With view to organiz-
ing similar Alliance in Maine, and auxiliary to the
to the National Temperance Alliance, the UNDER
signed invite the friends of Temperance to meet at

Northern Hope and Southern Hate.

If there be any Republicans who yet cling
TO the idea that the South is once more loyal
and desirous of the restoration of cordiality
between itself and the North they will do
well to study the reports Of the doings in
Washington. II. they distrust printed things
let them 90 on to the capital. They will
believe that they have but just awakened
from nap of fifteen years or SO, and that
the city is in the possession of the Confeder-
ates. LIE, them visit the National House and
they will find its offices filled with Confeder-
ate soldiers. The hotels and boarding houses
are swarming with Confederate veterans who
are pressing their claims upon the attention
of Congress. For the most needy of these
useless offices have been created by sympa-
thizng Democrats in the only branch of the
government over which they have open con-
troll. Let the astonished Northern visitor 60
to the House on every Monday and hear the
presentation of Southern claims upon the
Treasury, claims aggregating hundreds of
millions of dollars. Let him sit through, if
he have the patience, a few conciliatory
speeches-on West Point, for example-from
Southern members. Let him listen to the
talk on the streets and in the hotel offices
from the staggering Southern bullies who
throng the city and openly announce that
they are but waiting for the day soon at hand
when the South shall take control of the gov
ernment and pension its soldiers and recon-
pense its citizens for the losses they met with
during the war;
Few words Of conciation except from
Northern tongues, or perhaps in public ad-
dresses meant for Northern ears, will the
Northern visitor hear. He will learn that
the only qualification required for an office
within Democratic gift is fidelity to the 'lost
cause"; he will learn that the only legislation
contemplated in the reranche at haud is legis-
lation looking to the reimbursement of
rebels for sacrifices made to sustain the
rebellion; he will learn that the friend
ship Of the South for the North is the
friendship of the plunderer for the plundered
and that the rich East is to be drawn upon
for the benefit of other sections. On every

Yea thou shall follow for my sake, she saith,
Forevermore the warm light fugitive wings
OfSong, and learn of her all hidden things;
Hear alien speech, and wander in strange ways.
For thou, beloved of Song art he who brings
Seeds long asleep, whose ancient life yet clipgs,
To scatter them for fruit in these late days
Hailing the sun rosacrowned arisen at last
Out of the morning mists that veil the Past.

A sober shaded light for rev made eyes,
Among an austere folk unworldly-wise.

The nightingale)-a poet set apart,
From oyermuch Of noise and light afar,
Maketh his music sparkle as a star
Lit of the inborn fires that warm his heart.
Song led him later all about the earth
He saw works risen and ruined of mems hands,
Cities new-built, and those long dead for dearth;
The dusky odorous heart of eastern lands
Like some great flower unfolded to his gaze;
He watched the wan long light of northern days.
Ill,
For that all lands have spoken to his ear,
And all days yield them to the poets sight;
For that his touch brings shadowy forms to light,
Voices long bushed his new glad voice makes clear
For that of all lands seen, he loves his land,
ofall days sung, he sings his own day best,
Bringing all treasures gathered by his hand
To crown the free born maiden of the West
No man were filter for his country's needs,
Than this, whom Faith and Song have rendered wise
Poet to speak things seen with prophets eyes;
Him the young land, heir OF all days and deeds,
Sends as her messenger to the land that keeps
The grave ef Goethe and where Schiller sleeps.

TIE appointment of Bayard Taylor as
Minister to Berlin is in all respects satisfae-
tory and suitable thing. The Administra-
tion is entitled to cordial approval. 1t is a
pity that so good thing could not have been
done in more graceful manner and before
the place had been hawked about in the po-
litical market; but then we must not expect
too much. 1t is certainly sound policy for
nation to recognize and assist it's literary men
and this mission will be Of special use to Mr..
Taylor by giving him the opportunity to prose-
cute his great literary work, The Life of Goethe,
under the most favorable conditions as respects
access to means of information and congenial-
ity OF general surroundings. Mr.Taylor, too,
is man to whom honor is due from the ma
tion. He is in the foremost rank of its liter
ary men, and his utterances are all fresh,
wholesome and patriotic so far as they refer
to bis native land. In this respect, he differs
widely from Mr.. Lowell who was sent to
Spain. Taylor is the bard Of hope; Lowell
of despair. The ode of the former written on
occasion of our nations hundredth birthday is
warm and bright with anticipations of good
for the Republic, not mistaking transient and
accidental faults and vices for fixed tendency
to the bad. Lowell, on tho contrary, sings
in his Centennial Ode doleful strain of hope
lessness, points out and emphasizes every de-
feet, invents faults which never existed,
ignores or obscures every virtue and gives a
vivid impression that the country is far on
tie road to inevitable destruction by reason
of its vices and corruptions. He should nev-
er have been sent abroad to represent the
nation which he traduced.
The general and hearty approval which Mr..
Taylor's appointment has evoked in his own
land must be most gratifying to him.
Scarcely less so must be his cordial reception
by the German press. In the nation to
which he goes he is favorite beforehand,
and his official presence there cannot fail to
create and confirm friendly feeling between
Germans and Americans. 1t will be good and
useful to himself, to America and to Ger
many.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter has some
encouraging words for the New England shoe
trade. 1t says: While it were vain to try to
conceal or disguise the fact that times are
hard; that certain sections are suffering as
they never did before; that in many large
manufacturing districts the laborers are out
of work, and stand moodily face to face with
want; yet the fact remains that at large the
country is rich in products as it seldom has
been. There seems to be lull ON all sides !;
once start the wheels and there is every rea-
son to believe that business of all kinds will
revive not revive in the sense of wild specu-
lation, but in the steady steps of healthy
commerce. 1t must not be forgotten that the
process of manufacturing has undergone
changes which conduce to these periods of
comparative quietness. What, a few years
ago, would have been the Indication of dan
gerous stagnatior, is now really the normal
condition of the manufacturing interest.
There is no longer the piling up OF goods
waiting customer, with all the uncertainties
that formerly perplexed the manufacturer
Now the samples are sent out, and the factory,
not the goods, awaits the orders. When they
come. the machinery, which has so greatly fa-
cilitated the making of goods, will accomplish
| in few days what it used to take weeks or
months to do. 1t would be natural to look
| for a little less volume of business than usual,
| since economy is laying heavy hand upon
1 consumption, but there is no occasion for de-
l spondency. The boot and shoe trade are an

commercial interests, and have every prom Sc
