Two Dreams.
Weary the king took off his crown;

Weary the king took Off his crown;
In either hand he poised IFS weight,
"Tis strange how heavy it has grown"
He said, and with an impatient frown
BE eyed it with a kind Of hate;
Then on his bed he laid him down
And slept, andih twinkling dreamed,
Obi dream or ecstacy and blissl
Delight through ell his senses streamed;
A ragged vagabond he seemed;
Free-winds Of Heaven his hair did kiss;
Onhis bare skin the free sun beamed.
Atmorn he walked, bewiidered first,
0rwho he was, or where might be;
Then saw the crown, and with burst
OF fsudden rage swore and cursed:
"No beggar would change lives with mel
OF all hard fates, kings the worsir'
Outside the pal'ee, on the ground;
Starved half.o dca,h and freezing cold,
Less sheltered than the meanest hound,
A begger slsimbered safe and sound,
And dreams 10 him came swift and bold,
AS if a palace walled him round.
He'dreamed he was a king indeed;
OH dream Of ecstaey and Bliss
or food he had his utmost greed;
OF fgold beyond his utmost need;
AIImen knelt low his hand TO kiss,
And gave his word obedient heed.
Atmorn he walked, bewildered first.
Or who he was or where. might be;,4
Thenquiek by hunger and by thirst,
He knew himself, and groaned and
cursed;
"No creatprepiiy. takes on me.
A beggar's fate of all is worst"

It is scarcely a surprise to


1t is scarcely a surprise to
learn that the Ohio and Iowa
Greenbackers of Republican an
tecedents voted the Republican
ticket almost solidly at the late
elections in those States, and
that the Grcenback votes were
cast almost exclusively by men
of Democratic antecedents. 1t
is moi a new story. The. same
has been true in almost every
instance of all third party move
ments that have been originated
since the Republican party be-
gan its retrograde march in
1871. The republicans invari-
ably return to their party on e.
lection day, while most of the
wandering Democrats remain
true to their pledges. How
much longer can designing Re
publican managers play these
little games upon Democratic
voters?

Another appeal comes from
loyal Kansas for money TO as
sist in feeding the negro immi-
grants. The appeal says 5000
have been settled and perma-
nently fixed. The appeal also
suggests that some OF this negro
migration should be turned into
other States. How would Mas
sachusctts do? We have had no
doubt from the beginning of
this negro migration, that it is
a well devised political scheme
to affect the ratio OF congress-
ional representation in the re-
port of the next census.
