Mid daylight awake on INC Hi
There the soughing winds muttcr
Eternal waings utter,
Moaning down the mountain gorges 10 the sea:
In the valley bees are humming,
Hark! you'll hear the partridge drumming
Upon the messy trunk of an old dead tree.
The halfforgotten years OF youth,
BriN full of holy love of truth, lea
Cast their misty twilight DER mountain slopes ant
So in ruth and rhine Pm harried
Youth and aye with me are married,
Boyhood days at Bethel are coming back to me.
remember Ruth and Nancy,
Susie, IIelen-and in fancy
will greet the darling Abb, dead for years:
will kneel upon the bank
And her grassy grave will prank
With lilies, and will water them with tears
In his cottage lies he dreaming
He is dying-sun Is streaming
Tbro' the curtains-spilling sunlight on the floor
Now the old bell To and fro
In the bclfry toleth low,
Thrilling, killing with the chilling neycrmorc.
Up the quaint and dear old street,
Where the dead one used 10 greet
Dearest father in the merry days of yorc
There will brood as ne'er before
Round the silent cottage door
Wintry win Is and chilling shadows cvcrmOrc
III.
He Is gone-and he is dead,
Plant the wild rose DER his head,
Keep II blooming, watcred tendcrly 10y Gears;
Still the sun is streaming rosy
In and out the cottage cosy
Keep the grave of Moses Paiiec green for years !.
The pines on the mountains are signing,
And birds arc cooling their love;
And the bright, winking stars are gone out
In blue, vaultcd heavens above.
Down into the valley sweet Rcthcl,
TIE sun over hilltop shall FILL
Like molten gold spilled from Il ladlc,
Earth, hamlet, aud river and rill
So If ever ] die--il's doubtful
No trappings-no tinscl-n frill,-
Just lay me away mid the daisies
AS still H. n mouse in the mia.
When the dark wing OF night shall be- folded
Aud glcamings of mora streak the cartn,
Then up from the tomb and its ccremcnts
new soul shall spring into birth.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2d.-A let
ter has been received from Francis
Murphy, the temperance evange-
list, stating that his arrival in this
city may be looked for this week,
and that he expected to be present
at the meeting of the Ministerial
Union next Monday. Arrange
ments will probably be made to
begin at once q series Of public
meetings under his leadership,
similar to those he has been con.
ducting in different cities in the

The meetings will be under the aus.

Ing of Old and new Constitution
Clubs, Of this place, and of the citi.
zens generally, was held last eve
ming under the auspices of the lat.
ter club. Judge Hundley addressed
the meeting In favor Of the old Con-
and showed oonclusively,
from decisions of different Supreme
that mortgages cannot be
taxed except in the county where
held, and that mortgages held out
side the State on property in 1t can
not be taxed at all. This Is affirm
ed by the Supreme Court Of the
United States. Major Biggs fol.
lowed In reply In his usual spread
eagle style, but he failed entirely to
answer, or even attempt to answer,
the question of double taxation. A
large crowd was present who cheer
ed the speakers Justify, and the best
OF feeling prevailed.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-05-03

1T is worthy Of note that, when
the friends Of the old Constitution
had appointed their meetings for
Thursday and Monday nights, the
friends Of the new novel thought
they had done . neat thing in Sc
lscting sthese nights for counter
denominations. As counter irri-
tant their experiment thus far has
not been great success. The
friends Of the old and time-honored
instrument Thursday night rallied
Ia overwhelming force and thus
defeated the stratagem. Monday
night orators Of special force and
ability will address both the sup
porters of the old and the new Con-
stitution. Gen. Volney E. How
ard, q gentleman for whom we
have = pronounced admiration and
respect personally, will be the
leading orator in advocacy of q
Constitution which he assisted tc
frame. The Messrs. Marshall and
0anahl will speak In support of the
cid Constitution on the same night.
Let there be generous rivalry in
this matter. Let each see which
can rally the strongest. But lei
the rufilan who shall seek to con-
troll free speech be sternly dealt
with. Courtesy and good humoI
should signalize such gatherings.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-05-03

THE local campaign is very
cheering. The friends Of the old
Constitution are to-day twice as
strong as they were two weeks ago
all over Los Angeles county. We
are by no means without hope that
the total majority In favor of the
new Constitution in Los Angeles,
San Bernardino and San Diego
counties will be overwhelmed by
the majority given for the old Con.
stitution In Mono county, in
which is located the enterprising
mining town of Bedie. 1t must be
borne in mind that Mono county is
In the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, and that a population of six
thousand males has located itself
In that county during the last six
months. 1t is perfectly safe to as.
sumo that, in the city of Los Ange-
les, the anti Constitution vote has
increased fifty per cent. during the
past week. Let every man who hai
= regard for the future of Califor.
mia apply himself to redeeming q
section which has taken wrong
position through . misapprehen.
sion Of the real issues. The new
Ccnstitution is already defeated in
the State, but the exigent demand
