SHADOWS.
III sorHiA H. o.irns,

Ihoy are giiling. they are gliding,
Ger ;he meadows green and gay
Like fairy troop they're riding
Through the breezy woods away
o. the mountain tops they iGger
Whom the sun is sinking low,
And they point with giant hnger
To the sleeping vale below.
They are Aii,ing, they are hiitiug,
Der the waving corn and rye,
Ana nov they're calmly sitting
Meath the oak tree's branches high.
And where the tired reaper
Hath sought tina sheitering tree,
They dnnce above the alceper
In light, fantastic giee.
They are creeping, they are creeping,
Over valley, hill, and stream,
Like the thousand fancies sweeping
Through q Southful peers dream.
Now they mount on noiseiess pinions
With the eagle 10 the sky
Soar along those broad dominions
Where tho stare in beauty lie.
They arc dancing, they are dancing.
Where our country banner bright
In the morning beam is CHANGING,
with it's stars and stripes Of light;
Asd where the glorious prsiries
Spread out like garden bowers,
They fly along like fniriee,
Or sleep beneath The flowers.
They are lcaping, they are leaping
Where a cloud beneath the moon
Ger the lakes soft breast is sleeping,
Lulled by pleasant tune;
And where the FIRE is glsncing
At twilight through the hall.
Tall specter ferns are dancing
Upon thy lofty wall.
They are lying, they sre lying.
Where the solemn ye@-tree waves,
And The evening winds are signing
In the lonely place Of graves
And their noiseless feet src creeping,
With sl,w and steAlthy tread.
Where this ancient church is keeping

The Republican party used to boast OF old
OF Its great reduction Of the public debt,
Republican papers were wont to publish each
month, lii conspicuous figures, the reduction
of this national burden for the past thirty
days. These days. however, are now over.
The public debt statement for March shows
an increase; the statement for April shows q
still greater increase and the Treasury au-
thorities are forced to admit that they can
SEQ no chance, no possibility ahead OF any re-
dnction The debt statement will now show
q monthly increase instead Of reduction. This
ia o lamentable confession for Mr. Sherman

that he expected to get from the lucky acct
dent that enabled him to SO successfully place
