The inhabitants of South Bend say that Schuyl-
er goes out into his front yard every evening and
holds his ear to the ground for good half hour
TO see if he can hear his country call him, and
then walks sadly back. The way Of the trans

Schuyler. But justice to society requires that
he should continue to be secluded and kept be

THE REVIVAL OF JOHN 4. LOGAN.
Great Logan monarch Of the Western wild.
Again the prairie and the black jack grove
Send 10 the Senate their untutored child,
Whom righteous wrath from that position
drove.
Now climbs our country upward like a goat!
What greater glory need the nation scey
II honors nonsense from brazen throat,
And deihes the force Of lungs and cheek.
Again viii Senators forsake the floor,
When Logan's slogan rudely smites their ears,
And fee the voice whose rough, rampageous roar
Could well control drove Of Texas steers.
There will The prairie stallion kick and prancc,
With all the antics Of the party hack,
Aud still In that deserted space will dance
While rings and Jobs Cypress his burdencd

is deaf and blind 10 truth and honesty
When Logan, rightly surnamed Dirty Work,
Among the solemn Senators we see
Is this prophetcr Must the whisky thieves
And all the rings Of rogues relight their fires {:
Or is 1t thus show the sense deceiyes-
the candles flicker ere the flame expires?
Who greets this man Of torch and turpentine,
In whom the better elements are scant:
Shall LogaHs AVIATOR become sgng
Two terms OF him. do they mean three Of Grant,
