MISSING.

missing, no more; dumb dead wall
4 Of silence and darkness stands
tstYsenns>and they whe left US here.
In the golden morning Of the year,
With hope and promise and parting cheer,
Wet eyes and waving hands.
Never an omen tcld our hearts
: How fate lurked, grim and dark;
Fresh and sweet smiled the April day,
And the treacherous waves in sunlight lay,
kissing the sands of the sheltered bay
And laughing around the bark.
Like molten silver shone ker sails,
rs she. ..glided from oarlgaze;
And we turnedus bach to our homes again.
Toilet custom grow Ger the yearning pain,
And to count by the hearth-ah, labor
vain?-
The lonely, lingering days,
& Never letter from loving hands.
Never message came;
We knew long since should the port be
won
We knew what the fierce north gale had
done;
And slowly crept over every one
A terror we would not name
All mel those weary mornings,
When on the great pier head
We strained our sight Ger the tossing
seas,
Aod s:uliel ssleh change in the 6tfuli
-bree7e,
And slrove TO answer, in tones Of ease,
Lightquestions coldly said.
All me those weary midnights,
Hearing the breakers roar;
Starting from dreams of storm and death.
With beating pulses and catching breath,
To hear The white surf call" breath,
Along the hollow shore.
Never flash down the wires,
Never word from the East,
From the port she sailed for-how long
ago
Why, even spar ons would sweep TO
know,
Tossed on the wild waves .ebb and flow,
Were something real at least.
Missing, missing. and silence, !
The great tides rise and fall;
The sea lies dimpling out in the light,
Or dances. all living cleaning white
Day follows day, night rolls on night;
Missing and Shat is all
The bark crossed out in the log-book.
The names dropped out Of the prayers /; |
In many household vacant place;
In many a life a vanished grace;
We know our cast in the long life race,
But only God knows theirs.

THE Eighth ward led off last night
in movement which will doubtless
result in the election of a solid demo-
cratic delegation to the legislature.
We cannot afford as a party or as a
community, to run two democratic
tickets. Both would be defeated as o
matter of course. We can op-
pose each other fairly, openly
and squarely as to Wilson and Wright
and with regard to reference to the
people, but Memphis has an interest
in the next legislature beyond the
debates on the state debt question.
We shouldsend level headed, thought
ful business men, who can grapple
with every question that may arise.
The low tax" wing is, we believe, in
the majority, but that fact would not
insure success or justify the running
OF two democratic tickets. If the
democrats, who propose to vote for
Wright. will agree that their and our
representatives shall be instructed by
nominating convention to vote in
favor of submitting the debt question,
finally and to oppose making coupons re
'ceiveable for taxes, there need be no
serious trouble in our ranks.
