Grant being the next President.

THE DIFFERENCE

Two bah bes were born in the self town,
On the very same bright day;
They laughe ed and cried in their mothers arm
In the very self-same way.
And both were as pure and as innocent
AS falling flakes of snow,
And one of them lived in the terraced house
And one in the street below.
Two children played in the self-same town,
And the children both were fair,
One had h er curls brushed smooth and round
The other had tangled hair.
Both of the children grew apace,
AS all our children grow,
But one of them lived in the terraced house.
And one in the street below.
Two maidens wrought in the sef-same town,
And one was welded and loved,
The other saw through the curtains part,
The world where her sister moved.
And one was smiling, happy bride,
The other knew care and woe,
For one of them lived in the terraced house,
And one in the street below.
Two women lay dead In the self-same town,
And one had tender care,
The other was left to die alone,
On her pallet so thin and bare,
One had many to mourn her loss,
For the other few tears would flow,
For one had lived in the terraced house,
And one in the street below.
| If Jesus, who died for rich and poor,
In wonderful, holy love,
Took both of the sisters in His arms,
And carried them up above;
Then all the difference vanished at last,
For in heaven none would know
Which of them lived in the terraced house
And which in the street below.

WHAT childish nonsense it is, all this
silly talk about the Bourbon Democracy
not being fit to be entrusted with the
management of the government ! Now,
whom do they mean by Bourbon De-
mocracy. Don't they mean the men
who have heretofore been fighting the
Republican party, in order to save the
Southern people from negro rule and
the domination of Radicalism at Wash
lngton? and are not these gentlemen
who are crying out against the Bourbon
democracy the self-same gentlemen who
nave all along been crying out just as
Justify against the Radical party! Has
there been any change in the principles
OF the Democratic party of late! We cer-
talnly know of none. If it is Bourbon
now, 1t must have been four years ago.
has there been any change in the prin-
ciples of the Republican party II? We
certainly know of none. If it was an
accursed party four years ago, it must be
an aecursed party.
But our excitable "Independentn
friends jump on a dry goods box, or the
mead OF an empty whiskey barrel, and
Win numbering voice, yell out to the
crowd that they, and they alone, are
the true men to be trusted with the
management ofpublic affairs; that they,
and they alone, are in sympathy with
the people; that they, and thew alone.
are faithful whore ali others are false
that they, and they alone, are the onIy
saints among a multitude of sinners.
We wondor if it ever occurs to ANYBODY
that these gentlemen are thinking about
their own interest little, as we'll as the
interests OF the public! Who has not
seen the vendors of quack medicines at
the street corners. drawing crowds
around them with their "eloouence ~
ana now many who are there are not
laughing as they listen to the mounte-
oank 80 1t is with crowds of sensible,
wel-nieaning people who attend upon
poiitica! gatherings; they are earnestly
interested when they hear the speakers
speaking like men of sense who have
the interest of the country at heart, but
they are laughing in their sleeves when
they hear all this 6osb about the Bour-
bon Democracy and saving the country
with an "1ndependnt" party in Vir-
ginia.
The truth is the Democracy of to-day
ls the same old Democracy of other
days. 1t is the party that has always
stood, and will always stand between
the people and the money-power, be-
tween the people and the men with
monarchy in their heads, between the
people and the bayonet in the hands of
military despotism,
This country is Democratic to the
core, and it is as certain that a Demo
cratic President will be elected in No
vember and inaugurated in March, as
that the world will last until then

IN THE LAST PEM.

She sits, bent er, with wrinkled face,
Poor and forlornly old; no grace
Smooths the sharp angles of her form,
Long buffetted by life's slow storm.
All else around is fine and fair;
The stained light falls, a golden glare,
In seeming mockery on her loose gray hair.
The preacher, faultlessly arrayed,
Tells how our hearts afar have strayed,
And how all should be content
With those good b! essings GOD has sent.
And one of that self-poised throng,
Hangs on his words nor deems them long,
And hum5ly thinks only her heart is wrong.
She meekly mumbles DER her hymn
Her eyes with age and tear-drops dim;
What can the gay world hold fog her
This worn and weary worshipper!
Now, rustling down the aisles in pride,
They toss bright smiles on every side,
Nor does she know the hurts such fair looA
hide.
And still she sits, with tear-wet face,
AS 10th to leave that sacred place;
The organ, with quick thunder riven,
Lifts her sad, trembling soul to heaven;
She feels a sense of blissful rest.
Her bony hands across her breast
She clasps, and 1owly sighs: "God knoweti

the Presidency, they will on State poll
cies, where the public debt is involved,
and in the election of State officers, or
others who can affect and influence dis
astrously legislative action, continue in
firm alliance and sympathy in opposi-
ton to all illegal and unjust action which
may be proposed by the Funder party.
ID. That there should be no division
of the electoral vote of Virginia, and
that the same should be cast straight
and solid for one Presidential nominee,
and we are opposed to any action look
ing to the distribution of Virginia's
electoral vote between Republicans and
Democrats and whilst Democrats may
support the nominees, OF the
Cincinnati Convention and Republicans
the nominees of the Chicago Conven-
ton, this should cause no breach be-
tween them on questions on which they
agree in regard to State politics.
