think that met you, sweetheart,
Ifancy the might have been,
Come to me there in vision
In the midst of that giddy scene;
But knew we had lost our birthright
As worshippers at Loves shrine,
So drew you not from the dance, love,
And your hand lay not in mine,
To-day 1 lie by the waters
That with mystical music tell
With words that no mortal utteTs
The truth that l know so we'll.
We have parted, love, with our birth
The pOttage that Esau bought fright;
Was pure, to the gaudy trappings
That have worn our souls to naught.
Upward away through the ether
| look toward heaven above.
Whence God in His infinite goodness
Gave to His children Love-
Gave them as their best birthright
No portion of power or pelf,
But the Joy of the souls surrender
That in loving loses itself.
We played with the wondrous garland; /;
We lost the halo of youth:
We smiled with a tickle blindness
That tarnished the glow of youth;
TO Fashion we sold eur birthright:
She tricked it with hot-house flowers
1t faded amid the gas light,
And perished in midnight hours.

SENSIBLE VIEWS.
A Review of the Causes of the
Closing Years Epidemics.
New York Tribune


New York Tribune.
The facts of the case are that the
country this year has been scourged
to an exceptional degree, not only
by yellow fever, but By every form
Of malarious disease. The death
rates in some of our large cities rose,
during the warm, muggy weather of
September, 83 per cent. over the
same space of time last year. The
primary cause was doubtless The
prolonged drought and the uncover
ing of the miasmatic borders ofthe
streams; but the seeds Of disease
thus engendered would not have
brought forth such prolific death
crops if they had not found abuu-
dant soil in the foul air, poisonous
smells, and fermenfing fifth about
our towns, country houses, even re-
sorts of health. In the South this
fact was patent from the first. Gren-
ada is a fair sample of small South
ern town in its absolute neglect Of
drainage of every sort, bad or good.
New Orleans has been a breeding
place of polsons for fifty years. Bur,
ial is impossible in most Of the cem-
eteries, and at high water many of
the receiving vaults in which the
dead are packed are under water.
Thirty years ago the visitor to one
of these rose-pIanted, shell-paved
cities of the dead would be forced to
drive through it at full gallop, so
terrible was the odor. Nothing has
been done 70. remedy it since. Nei-
ther have Northern cities any reason
to boast. New York, was the pure
air Of the bay blowing constantly
through her streets, has managed in
times past to lead it with as many
vile. disease-breeding smells as
pest hospital. Boston is LITTLE bet
ter. The soil of Atlanta City. Cape
May. and the cheaper religious sea
side resorts was pregnant this sea
soR with malaria. In Philadelphia
so defective is the sewerage that to
live near culvert opening is to in
sure an attack of fever. These are
facts, but they are facts
which are telling on our weekly bills
of mortality. What is to be done? P?
Galveston, as our readers know,
from one of the most sickly, is now
one Of the heaIthiest, because it is
the cleanest city Of the Union. The
will find it out, probably,
the cause and cure Of yellow fever,
and other fevers, bat twill not him
der the cause nor advance the cure.
That is for each town. village and
household to do. The matteris one
of national importance, but it is also
one Of individual effort.

The New Army Bill.

Washington Special to the Ci ncinnati Enquirer.
General Banning is confident that
the Bill, for the Reorganization Of
tile Army will pass. This is also
the opinion Of other members Of the
Joint Committee whieh prepared it,
When it was reported on December
12, The opinion was generally ex'
pressed that it would never get be-
yond a period of discussion, bat that
was before it had been examined by
either civilians or military men.
Since opportunity he's been given
for its examinations, however, it has
met with greater approval than its
most sanguine friends expected.
The very fact that it is endorsed by
majority of the principal army Off
GERS gives 1t great strength. There
will not be that occasion or opportu.
uity for opposition which wouId have
been presented If II had been sucn
bill as would have brought out de.
rermiqed disapprosal in army cir
cles. When the bid was reported,
Gen. banning aud Gen. Burnside
hae: an early day Gzea for its con-
aIderation 10 their respective hoHsos.
in the Senate it was made the spec,
ial order for January 8, and in the
House for January 9. 1t will thus
be considered simultaneously IN both
houses. and it is believed that IL can
be passed within week, with such
amendments as viii make it more
perfect, Gen. Sherman and other
army officers having treated the bill
mIlh great fairness, and suggested
amendments in good faithwhich will
uOt alter the general plan and scope
Of the bill. The committee are Dis
posed to make it conform TO Their
recommendations.
