POetical.
A FOREST FANTASY.
BY LfHRL TAME.

Far in the forest a fountain is leaping,
Buboling aud clear In It's pebble. strewn cup
Ferns cluster round It and mosses come creeping
Down to the waters that never dry up
Clasping some treasure with delicate fingers
Singing sweet songs to the solitude dim
Close by the fountain a water.sprite fingers.
Like pale flower on IFS moss.covered rim.
MY Fairy Prince had one heart OF gold,
Never yet by nymph possessed
For counterfeits lurked In every fold
OF his pearl embroidered vest.
lie climbed the stairs with the sprltes OF air,
And played in the fields OF blue:
In ieweled caves where the gnomes repair
He has laughed and frolicked too.
Beyond the blue and beneath the grass,
Those counterfeit hearts were known,
All nymphs saw not they were only brass
TIL they had given their own
] sit alway by my fountains cup,
And watch that It never dries
My Prince came here ere the moon was up
Together we marked her rise.
Here did he linger till break OF day
Linger TIL noontlde was past
Why did he laughingy ip away,
Leaving me lonely at last?
This is no counterfeit heart hold
Was It not plucked from his breast
This is that heart OF the purest gold,
Never yet by nymph possest.
Night passes on. To these forest recesses
MoonbeamS steal trembling-a silyery band
Glance by the water-sprites lily-decked tresses-
Light on the count orfeit-dropt from her hand
-G0dey's.

Almost Young Again.

My mother was afflicted long time with
Neuralgia and dull, heavy inactive condi.
ton OF the whole system headache, ner-
vous prostration, and was almost helpless
No physicians or medicines did her any
good. Three months ago she began to use
Hop Bitters, with such good effect that she
seems and feels young again, although over
20 years old We think there is no other
medicine fit to use in the family.'-A lady,
in Providence, r. !.

GENERAL GARFIELD, in his recent inter-
view on the Ohio contest, declares that the
campaign will be hot one, and in some re-
spects the most uncompromisipg one ever
known in the State. He has perfect conf
dence that the Republicans can win by a
handsome majority, whether there is coali-
tion between the Democrats and Nationals
or not. He doubts if a coalition will be of
any help to the Democrats. As for the Pres
ldential outlook in 1880, he is none the less
sanguine- He is sure the party will nomi-
nate good man, that the campaign will be
one OF remarkable energy, and that the party
is bound to win because it stands on an al
most immaculate record, and has platform
In every way commensurate with its history
and its purposes.

THE Library Table, published weekly in
New York by Boutwell, & Hinton, is a prom.
ising candidate for popular favor and one
that will, if it keeps the promise of its early
numbers, soon win for itself commanding
position in the periodical literature of the
country. Its editorial comments are sharp
and telling, although too often fippant; its
book reviews are good; its gossip about au-
thors and books entertaining; and its cores
pondence of promise and interesting. The
department of Notes aud Queries is happy
concession to the inquisitive spirit of the
time. The Library Table properly and
wisely pays attention to music, the drama
ard pictorial art, matters much neglected by
papers of its class in this country. 1t has
also financial department, the value OF
which remains TO be seen. The paper will,
if it follows the course it has marked out,
speedily become welcome visitor to lovers
of literature.

SAYS the Chicago Tribune:-'Tt is this
popularity of tie situation which not merely
warrants but demands that the Republicans
in Congress shall avail themselves of every
advantage that may present ITSELF They
must seek to tire or outIive the Democrats
in the struggle. The Democratic majority
OF TWO in the House may fail at any time by
sickness, or absence, or debauch on their side !;
the Republicans should be alert, and watch
ful, and faithful throughout. Let the session
drag; the fault will rest upon the Democrats
and pot upon the Republicans. The Re.
publicans have standing and satisfactory
answer to every charge of responsibility; {;
Pass the appropriation bills without the
political attachments threatening the purity
of elections, and we will agree with you and
adjourn at any time.' In the meantime,
the Republican resistance in Congress ap-
proved, as it will be by the conservative press
and people throughout the country. will i'm
press upon the President serious sense OF
his duty, so that he will be prepared to veto
the appropriation bills If the Democrats shall
finally succeed in passing them with political
attachments. The stubborDness of resistance
on the part of Republican Congressmen will
make the President sensible of his own re-
sponsibilty to the people who elected him,
and to the interests of the nation that are
threatened by the obnoxious legislation"
