NOBLE SENTIMENTS.

These sentiments of a prominent
Eastern journal should receive an echo
from every patriot heart in the nation
!" A number Of army veterans are to
be at once retired and their places filled
by men whchaye, by their services, do
served well of their country. Among
those to be promoted me officers who
have grown gray and wrinkled by
years of fighting and waiting princi-
pally waiting--in subordinate capaci-
ties. While these heroes are to be con-
graduated, it is well to give a thought
to the men, the soldiers, who are never
promoted, but who fight, and live, and
die for the honor and glory of their
officers. The privates ought to have a
chance to win the stars and the bars
for the shoulder"

OUR oRArIox.

This is the l03rd anniversary of
Fourth of July orations. 1t is day
of great things to those who are on
top. Every man who feels his bosom
vibrate and his pulse pnlsate with that
fiery patriotism which animated our
forefathers to do and dare, will 60 down
ints the cavity of his pantaloons and
diligently count his lucre, and if the
requisite amount be found therein for a
good time, viii go in for a proper OBJ
servance of the time and the occasion !

vine and fg leaf and still b.esses his
forebears for the establishment and
perpetuity of a Day on which his cred
itOrs may not light down on him or the
Sheriff make afraid
We hope that the readers Of the
DEMocRAT viii each and all enjoy tht
day to the fullest, whether at home ol
abroad, and that every American citi

resolutions of devotion and fealt, tc

WERE Gibbon still alive, his caustic
criticism would find ample food in the
fact that nearly all the great states OF
Europe are either partly or wholly

of alien blood. The control of England

jew that of France between a Jew

CROP PROsPRCFs.

Crops in Iowa, Illinois and Missouri
promise a splendid yield. Harvest is
already progressing in California. and
the yield is first-class In fact we have
heard Of no material failures in the crop

This is a source Of thought for the

HER CHRISTMAS DREAM.

Twas Christmas eve, snow drifting deep,
But all the house was warm and bright;
And grandmamma lay fast asleep,
The scarlet silk and laces white
Making glow of tender grace ST..
Over the calm and placid face,
Where smiles were fitting to and fro
Where sudden lights and shadows fall.
"Children, step lightly and speak low,
AND softly spread the fleecy shawl;
Her dreaming soul mayhap doth keep
Some fairer Christmas in it's sleep"
Then quickly DER the household steals
The hush Of thoughtful, loving calm,
Until through waiting silence,
Like jubilant, triumphant psalm,
The ringing, singing bells that say,
tomorrow, friends, is Christmas Day."
The sleeper woke, and lay serene &c.
With clasped hands upon her breast
Dear God" she said, $50 sweet dream!
Could it come true, were so blest,
80 blest! such Christmas feast to keep.
All, Mary, have been asleep.
And dreaming, dear-a wondrous dream
saw my home so strangely far;
Its halls with snch soft lights did CLEAN;
Its gardens were beyond compare;
ana, 10! heard voice which said:
Come, love, the Christmas feast is spread.
Your fathers voice, dear child, know:
>, 1t ringeth yet through heart and brain;
1t called me fifty years ago,
just so it called tonight again.
Oh, faithful love! Oh, blessed home!
