A Lovely Lyric.

addressed to two swallows that flew
into church during service]
Gay, guiltless pair,
What seek We from the field of heaven
Ye have no need of prayer,
Ie have no sins to be forgiven.
Why perch We here
Where mOrtals to their Maker bend?
Can your pure spirits fear
The God you never could offend.
Ye never knew
The crimes for which we come to weep;
Penance is not for you
Blessed wanderers of the upper deep.
To you It's given
To make sweet natures untaught lays,
Beneath the arch of heaven
To chirp away life of praise.
Then spread each wing,
Far, far above, DER lakes and lands
And join the chorus that sing
In yOn blue dome not reared with hands.
Or if ye stay
To note the cOnsecrated hour,
Teach me the airy way,
And let me try your envied power.
Above the crowd
On upward wings could l but fly,
I'd battle in yon bright cloud,
And seek the stars that gem the sky.
Twere heaven indeed
Through fields of trackless space to soar
On natures charms to feed,
And natures own great God adore.

Not a Representative Democrat.

Forwarding subscription to the local
fund for celebrating Decoration Day,
Ex-Governor Hubbard writes: For my
self am personally the debtor of every
true son of Connecticut who fought, and
thrice the debtor of every one who fell
for the honor of the State and for the
Union. The honors we pay to our fallen
heroes are infinitely petty and cheap in
comparison with their Infinitely grand
and costly sacrifices" The spirit of this
is so much in contrast with that which
animates the Connecticut Democracy
that the realer may wonder how that
party ever came to elect him Governor.
The explanation is easy. They nOmidat-
ed him rs respectable figure head to
catch the independent and unattached
voters and keep the votes of War Demo
Gratis. They needed votes in doubtful
election, and had the wit to see he was
strong candidate with the people. But
when they had United States Senator
to elect, and the Legislature being theirs,
there was no need of hypocrisy, they
took their best representative, Eaton.
They could use Governor Hubbards
name to win votes from the people, but
with a Democratic Legislature he had
no earthly show for the higher and more
important position. When they had the
game in their own hands they put for
ward their own representative, Mr..
Eaton.
Ex-Governor Hubbard has the reputa-
tiOn of being, and no doubt is, the ablest
man of his party in the State. He was
War Democrat. and opposed to Eatons
course during the rebellion, and he re-
jects in toto the latter's remarkable
hotch-pOtch of theories concerning the
rights of States and subordination of the
Federal to the State Governments. Be
yOnd this, he actually believes in honest
elections and pure politics, not merely
as party cries, but as things so desirable
in themselves as to be sought after, and
established at some sacrifice if neces-
sary. His views in this regard, and his
high character made him useful to the
party in winning the support of the un-
attached and Independent voters. They
did so use him, and made a stalking
horse of him. But they gave expression
to their real views of the State Rights
doctrines and Federal subOrdination
when they elected Eaton, and of honest
elections and the publication of politics
when they elected Barnum to the United
States Senate. The Connecticut Demo
cracy do not lack cunning They use
such men as Governor Hubbard to get
votes and get into power: then they use
their power to elevate men of totally
different-of their own-stamp.-N. Y.

Yes. He Could.

New bonnet, new bonnet-twelve
dollars for a new bOnnetP exclaimed
Mr.. Slick the other evening as his wife
suggested change from the winter
styles.
Eyes, only twelve dollars" she hum
bly, replied.
Twelve dollars for bonnet is a con-
founded outrage and 1 know itP' he
went on. "Why, can buy two fine silk
hats for that money and have some
strawberry change left? It's a dead
swindle to ask $12 for bonnet"
"Well, 1 can't do anything better, Mr.
Slick, That's the price, and must pay
or go without"
"You don't know how to buy-that's
what ails yOuI" he growled. "I'll bet
money can buy $12 bonnet for SO.
It's all in knowing how to handle the
salesman"
Il wish you'd try it," she suggested.
az will-by George! l Wilt I'll bring
you a new bonnet in the morning,
and I'll get it four dollars cheaper than
you dare to!"
Mr.. Slick was as good as his word.
He went into millinery store next fore
noon with his eye-teeth sharpened, and
with the idea in his mind that every
bonnet in the store was priced at exact
ly twelve dollars. He looked around a
little, selected bonnet that pleased him,
and pointed his cane at it and calling
up his deepest voice, he inquired:
"Are you asking twelve dollars for
that bonnet" ?"
The woman flushed, looked from the
bonnet to the man, and was trying to re-
ply, when he said:
"These are not the times for outrage
Gus prices, and all buyers realize it. I'll
give you eight dollars for that bonnet,
and not cent more"
"That-that bonnet"
Eight dollars, and no morep he in
terrupted; and she put the article in a
box and took his money.
"What'd 1 tell my wife, eh?" he whis-
pered, as he went out. al tell you it
takes a man to buy goods, no matter
whether its fence-posts or paper cam
bricp
When he sat down at home and took
the cover off the box and held up the
bonnet Mrs. Slick inquired:
"How much did she charge you?'
EIGHT dollars, madam; while you
would have paid twelvev
"Richardp she said, as she tried to
laugh all over at once, al was with the
lady next door when she ordered that
bonnet for her cook, and the price was
to be four dollarsp You see, it"
He held up his finger, counted three
fives out of his wallet and left them on
a chair for her.

Issues to be Squarely Met.

1t should be understood at the outset
that the Republican party, in meeting
the issue which the Democracy have
forced upon them, will not mince mat
tiers in the least, but talk out plainly.
The issue is at least distinct; it has
been aggressively and arrOgantly press
ed; it is robust, vital. 1t shall be square
ly and firmly met, and have robust treat
! treatment. There is no need to Gull
phrases or handy courtesies when the
Southern Democracy come up demand
ing the abdicatiOn of Federal sovereign
ty and the concession of absolute sover-
eigty to the States If there were any
hardships in their condition after the
war, whose fault was it? They them
selves made military interference, and
interference on a tremendous scale, ne
cessdry, by their rebellion. By their
| treatment of their former slaves they
made negro suffrage necessary, as the
negro's only weapon of defence. Their
own policy and conduct made it ne
cessary for the General Government to
use its power in maintaining the rights
of these poor creatures, of which they
undertook by violence and intimidation
to deprive them; and there has been no
step in the whole course of the proceed
ings resorted to by the Republican par
ty to put down rebellion and uphold the
Government which was not made ne
cessary by the conduct of the very men
who come up now with such bitter
complaints of the treatment they have
received. In the entire history of the
long controversy which was supposed to
have been settled with the conclusion of
the war, but has been reopened with the
first temperance of Democratic ma
jority in Congress, every aggression has
been on the side of the Southern Democ-
racy. Every threat against the Govern
ment, every violent demonstration, all
the bullying and all the bloodshed, have
had their origin there, while the North
was in every case the passive spectator
of their passionate outbreaks or the vic
tim of their lawless violence. This was
true of the whole period of the contrO-
versy, from the time the first victim of
slaveholding intolerance was maltreated
or killed for expressing his honest opin-
ion down to the last case of bulldozing
| If they have suffered hardshipS from
the political condition they brought upon
themselves they have only themselves
to thank for it.
The people of the North, and the Re
publican party, have treated them, from
the first and always, with akindness and
tolerance and magnanimity for which
history furnishes no parallel. They
were not merely treated with leniency,
but were fully and frankly forgiven for
their treason against the Government; (;
not merely forgiven, but restored to full
rights of citizenship and equality under
the law; and not that alone, but actual
ly brought back to the places of power
in the Nation, and given the political
control, the loss of which they had re-
sented to the point of setting on foot a
bloody and destructive war. What is
more, the people of the North have been,
and are now, so considerate Of the feel
ings of those who were lately their enc

THE solemn silence of the Northern
Democratic journals upon the Warner
silver imitation measure shows their ag-
ony. Its formal adoption by the House
Democratic caucus as party policy in
creases the embarrassment of the situa-
tion. Nobody questions that the North
is entirely solid against any scheme for
bringing back the old uncertainty in f.
nancial affairs, and it requires no polit-
ical sagacity to see that the party which
commits itself to such scheme now
simply courts disaster.

THE House of Representatives has
passed the Yellow Fever bill without
amendment, after some opposition on
constitutional grounds from men of both

have been Ex-Governor Rice, of Massa-

argument that the National Government
has no authority to establish Quarantine
laws. The bill now goes to the Pres

THE following incident is related of
the venerable DIR. Desbit, formerly Pres
ident of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa:

better sermons; | am sick of the dull
prosy affairs" said lady in the pres
ence of DIR. Nesbit. "But it is no easy
matter, my good woman, to write SER
MONS" suggested the doctor. ayes" re-
joined the lady, "but you are so long
about it, could write one in half the
time if only had text" "Oh, if text
is all you want" said DIR. Nesbit, 81 will
furnish that. Take this one from Solo
mon: 1T is better to dwell in a corner
of house-top than in a wide house with
a brawling woman" "Do you mean
me, sir?" inquired the lady, quickly.
"Oh, my good woman" was the response,
"you will never make good sermonizer,
you are too soon in your applications"

THE Protestant clergymen of Troy
have passed resolutions to limit burial
services, as far as possible, to Scripture
reading, singing, and prayer. One of
the reasons for emitting sermans on
such occasions is thus stated:
Ministers are often embarrassed and
brought to degree of discredit by inap-
prOpriateness of remprks, by Ignorance
of peculiar features of the life or family
of the deceased person, by saying too
little or too much in view of biased and
prejudiced minds and fear of giving Of
