THE ERRAND.

Do me IA courtesy,
Thomtall White rosct
Nobody knows
How the rain comes down
In the town.
Now, in my mind. SEQ
\ deep-eyed girl
Watching the whirl
From her window-pano
OF the rain.
Slender as thou, is she,
All ways "a pure,
AS white, be sure,
With thy perfect grace
In her face.
Do me a courtesy,
Thou artless rose:
Nobody knows
How the rain comes down
In the town.
Knowing her value, she
Has still no art,
Opening her heart
For the common eye
To espy.
All know. ms well as we,
The secret troth
Binding us both
Or they would surmiSe
From her eyes
Go thou. and, secretly,
In thine own way,
Tell her this day,
Though SO dark. Is white
By her light.
Do me this courtesy,
Thou silent rose:
Nobody knows
How the rain comes down
In the town.

Far up in the tower, old and gray,
Ye ancient bells are ringing,
While far below, in ancient pew,
Sit saint and sinner singing.
Thus has it been since time began,
In warm or wintry weather,
With great display they come to pray,
The good and bad together.
Ye good old man doth kneel and pray
That he may find the fold,
That he may reach the shining shore,
And walk the streets Of gold
While near him kneels with solemn look
Ye man of worldly mein;
Who asks the Lord, by hook or crook,
To start boom in grain.

sulphur will almost invariably keep all
kinds of animals free from lice. We
have made practice for years past of
giving heaping tablespoonful once q
week in the feed of each of our cows,
and the same quantity to about every
ten hens in our flock, and they have
never been troubled with lice in them.
1t may be given in the same proportion
as to size when required in the food of
poultry, pigs and sheep. Sulphur is a
mild cathartic when desired for this
purpose, and in small doses seems to
have a general beneficial effect on the
animal system, something like salt.

set, are paid salaries for attending to
specific. duties as heads of departments
at Washington. The whole people,
9orth,, south, east and west, without
distinction Of locality or party, are
saxed to. pay their salaries. The Off
;ials who, receive them are supposed to
be paid for services to the country, not
70, party. yet as matter OF fact these
adiaials,, instead of attending to their
duties as prescribed by law and estabr
lshed by usage, are travelling around
4ne country at the public expense max
ing speeches. For this service to. party
they are eulogized by the Republican
press, which extols, them for their par
tisanism. and, commend them as patri-
sts, for attempting to- revive the Sec
honal feelings engenderedi by a. war
which ended nearly sixteen years ago.
General Hancock, the Cincinnati
nominee for President, is also, as a Ma
Dr. General of the Army, and Com
mander-in. Chief of the Military Di-
vision of the Atlantic, paid salary by
the whole people for performing specific
duties. Instead of going around the
country making speeches at every rail

benefits the. country would derive from.
his election, he. stays at his headquar-
tiers attending to his duties and render
ing the same equivalent for his salary
that de did before his nomination.

Is it not about time for the people
tosopen their eyes, and look at the po-
litical situation as it is, and not as it is
always pictured: Why should people
of every shade of political opinion be
taxed indiscriminately to pay large sal
aries to officials to travel in state
through the country to make partisan
speeches? None are so blind that they
can not see the difference between the
Non who leave their posts at Washing
ton, and neglect their duties, to make
stump speeches to advance party inter-
ests, and; the Soldier statesman wha
remains at his post on Governors
Island, doing that which he is paid to
perform; and none but bigoted partis-
ans who prefer party success, no matter
how. attained, to the welfare of the
country, will say that his course is not
more commendable than that OF. the

4 BOLD ATTEMPT.

About three o'c;sck, Yesterday morn
Ing. a bold effort was made to either rob
or fire the stable of prs. L. .. Edwards
and HALEY Mccoy, situated at the rear
OF the %latter's residence, corner Chap
line and Twenty-second streets. The
inmates OF the house were aroused ny
the clink Ola horses shoe on the pave.
ment and Mrs. Mccoy, putting her head
out of a window, saw q man leading =
horse across the pavement, rom the
open door OF the stable. She shouted
To- him and then reused DR.. Edwards,
who hurriedly dressed and went to the
scene. He found the door open and
his mare missing. .
Running 10 Alley Dand down toward
the next street, he suddenly iouGd the
mare standing near the intersection o!
the al!eys. She had on neither bride
nor halter. The thief had evidently
slipped the halter and was driving ncr
out, when discovered. The stable also
contained DR.. McCoy's horse and It
would undoubtedly have followed tie
mare, had time been allowed.
1t was very plain, from the surroun IT,
ing circumstances, that incendlarism
and not theft, was the object OF the
visit. No thief would take a horse oil
without briddle or halter az this WAS
done. The idea is that the person in
tended to drive out the horses and thea
fire the stable. 1t will be remembered
that the same thing took place at E!orl's
stable, q short time az. Apparently,
and when taken in connection with last
nights fires. the Sl.C0o reward has not
frightened off the inceud;aripI.
