The Poets Grave.

The following poem was written by tn
lamented poet when mere stripping Ff;(
published in little volume with IL
popular poem entitled ''Ximena:"
Twas In a sunny forest-neok,
With flowers and moss o'ergroWn'
Where nought was heard save the ote COW
hum
Or wild winds liquid tome
They laid the gentle bard 10 rest
When ife's wild dream Was Ger,
When the Tyre he woke with magic Po"es
Gave forth its notes no more.
They laid him there when sunsets beLn
Yet fingered on tae hill,
But the heart that leaped at that bright hou!
In deaths long sleep was still;
Sadly they heaped the messy mould
Above his fair young form,
And wept that soon the grave should hide
The heart so free and Wsrm.
The elm's long boughs droop Ger the turf
Like mourners weeping by,
And there in spring, the violet first
Looks up with mild blue eye;
And when the forests in the garb
OF summer, proudly wave,
A thousand low sweet melodies
Float mournful round his grave.

The trees dark shadows mug,
Save when through twining houghs, 4u.aa

The wild birds flashing wing,
There. when the sunsets glow decays
Rri1bt forms with sunny hair,
Glide slowly through the forest aisles,
Then fade in twilight air

What il Thnnnhf.


A thoughts but mental link,
In life's connected chain,
And he thinks wen who learns TO think,
By guiding well the train.
Often our thoughts are unexpressed,
And thus forgotten seem,
Yet mind like ocean cannot rest
Though needless as dream.
But he that wills his heart TO keep
Must see how feet Is thought,
And he who doth harvestreap
Must treasure lessons taught.
And he must watch the thoughts that ria
As sentinels watch their foe,
II he approve himself as wise
Their grace and wisdom strew.
Here mind expands, il we survey
What heaven to Us has wrought,
Since God himself has made our clay
Receptacles Of thought.
This is the watchword, keep your heart,
Your duty TO fulfill,
Thus strength of purpose to impart,
And charms Of love instil.
Not with the angels can we vie,
We're little lower made,
Nor can we boast their power to fly
From harm that makes afraid.
It's God in Christ who is the source
OF every living stream,
And Christ our s3criiier the force
That gives to thoughts theme.
Wrstched is he who passes by
The work ofself control,
just like a heath or desert dry
Where winds tcmpestuous roll.

Long Apn-

The bark sails slowly over sunless seas,
The coast of youth long faded out of sight;
The CLEAN that fingered on the last dear hight
Lost as we drift before life's steady breeze;
Yet, as the ship'glides onward, fair green leas
And wood crowned uplands, bathed in mystic
light,
Show on an island, set in the moonbeams
white,
Or blush of sunrise. Glad, we steer fol. these;
The mirage pales, the mists close thick again,
We see the great gray waves, and nothing
more;
And listen, with yearning, useless pain,
To hear the soft waves whisper on the shore
Shore OF the happy land we used TO know,
Meier trodden twice in life, the Long Ago.
--All the Year Round.

THE representatives of the Republi-
can party of Belmont county, meet to-
morrow, under circumstances which re-
quire more than ordinary prudence, in
order that harmony may be assured and
the principles for which we contend as
a party, may be maintained. Important
issues are before the people, and they
are called upon this Fall to pass their
judgment upon them. They are not of
a local character, either, but broad and
comprehensive, embodying the founda-
ton principles of the Republican party,
and in fact, of Republican government.
The Convention, which meets to-mor-
row, by their action, will determine
whether the approaching canvass in the
county will be one upon which Republi-
cans can meet on common ground and
battle for the success of those principles
which they conceive to be right, and
which they have ever maintained, or
whether it will be one in which locali-
ties shall struggle for the mastery, with
out reference to the political rights of
those who are not especially interested
in the particular question which may be
at issue. Sober judgment, calm. cool,
deliberate action, will no doubt prevail
i'll the councils Of the Convention, and a
ticket will be placed before the people
which will command their respect and
their support .

GENERAL EWING made miserable
speech, at Ironton. The industries of
town he found flourishing-the smoke
rolling out of the chimneys in the old
fashioned way; and he had the hard
ihood to say that the country should
have grown up to the bulk of paper
money it had after the war, instead of
pushing for specie payments. In. the
first place, as all intelligent men know,
there has been no material reduction of
currency; and in the second place, the
greenback policy was constantly to issue
more greenbaeks," and the growing up
to the limit would always have been pre-
cisely the contraction that the imitation
ist has been bowling about, and the cry
would have been to advance the limit.
That was the cry, backed by an ava
lanche of folly and falsehood. But let
this be noted, it takes specie payments to
giUe the country fair chance to groac
Now that we have reliable money, there
is growth.-ICincinnati Commercial.

ITO the ColOred Voters of Ohio.
To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal.

Considerable Of feeling has recently
been manifested by the colored voters
of Ohio in regard to fuller recognition
of their rights as American citizens
and to this end each of the two great
political parties have been asked to In
dicate their future line of policy. l am
frequently asked by our. people for an
opinion as to what / think they ought
to do in this view of the case. To all
such 1 will say that, after mature
thought upon the subject, and in the
absence of any action or public declara-
ton by either party, other than that
which has been indicated by the past
history and action of these parties, am
decidedly of the opinion that our people
should remain unchanged in their politi-
cal relations, and so advise them.
In view of the present condition of
our people in the South, their political
status and social ostracism, we cannot
afford to try doubtful and uncertain
experiment. For, in the language of a
gentleman with whom we recently con-
versed, the Republican party in the past
has been to us "the ship, while all else
has been to us an open sea-"
l. n0 sui uoNtl upOA
and graver human responsibilities than
those that now weigh upon the shOul-
ders of colored men and women both
North and South. 1t is true that the
shackles have been stricken from the
limbs of four millions of our race re-
Gently held in bondage in the South, it
is true that their right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness is guaran-
teed by Constitutional amendments and
supplemental legislation in the Civil
Rights bill, and yet it is patent to the
whole civilized world that freedom to
the black man, in the South, is merely
nominal. In every Southern State in
this Union the Constitutional amend
ments and the Civil Rights bill are pros
trate, helpless, and lie bleeding in the
dust.
We are on the verge of a great politi-
cal battle in which the weapons of war
fare to be used on the one side, are our
ballots guided by moral worth and intel
lectual culture, and those to be used on
the other side are shotguns, bulldozers
and moonshiners, guided by crooked
whisky, ignorance and the basest and
most malignant of depraved human pas
sions that ever cursed the civilization of
any age.
Therefore we advise all to work and
vote with the Republican party, in the
coming struggle in Ohio, and when vic
tory shall have prached upon its ban
ners if we have wrongs to right, remem-
his quarrel just" j. l.. RIVERS.

at answering questions. During speech
at Saco, Maine, he asked if any man in
the audience believed that he was over
taxed by the government. A Green
backer rose and said he was. "Direct-
ly ?" asked the Senator. '"No, but by du-
ties" was the reply. "On WHAT" asked
Mr.. Blaine. "On Matches. replied the
man. "How many matches do you use
in day?" inquired the Senator'S The
man at first evaded, but finally fixed the
number, and the Senator figured out that
the individual was being taxed in that
direction, according to his own state
ment, just seven cents year. at
strikes me-" said the Senator, "that the
government may save you more than
seven cents year," and the fellow was
laughed down, but rallied far enough to
say that the duty ON tea bore hard on
the farming class, but was shut up with
the assurance that there was no duty on
tea at all.
