william f.. Chandler ON the Outlook

[From an Interview in the Boston Traveler.s
! think Grant will be defeated if he goes
before the convention, which trust he will
not; and am very hopeful that Senator
Blaine viii be nominated. His prospects are
better than they were four years ago, and he
is gaining every day. The West is for him
and will give bin the nomination. Grant
has been President twice, and ought to de-
cline third candidacy with grace and prompt
ness. The Grant boom is largely stalwart
movement. Let it go on until it breaks, and
then its supporters will naturally and gener-
ally rally for Blaine and nominate him. /
shall earnestly support Gen. Grant if nomi-
mated, and do not care to give any reasons
against him, if indeed have any except the
we'll known utterances of Republicans against
electing any President third time. Take
New Hampshire, for instance. If Grant is
our candidate, what shall we say when our
own resolutions Of 1875 and 1876 unani-
mously passed, are hurled at US by the Demo-
Gratis? have them here. In JanuaryS1S75,
we declared 'our unalterable opposition to
the election of any man to the presidency of
the United States for third term" Not
satisfied with that. even after President Grant
had declined another nomination, we, in JAN
uary, 1876. said: I'VE reafirm our unalter-'
able opposition to the election of any Presi-
dent for third term" With the small Re-
publican majority we have in New Hamp-
shire, those who advocate Grants nomina-
ton should tell US what reply we shall make
in our papers and on the stump to those en-
phatic utterances. !

Whose eye has marked his gendering? On his throne
He dwels apart in roofiess caves of air,
Born of the stagnant, blown of the CLASSY heat
Der the still mere Sargasso When the world
Has fallen vOluptuous, and the aisles are grown
SO bold they cry, God sees Ot!-as rare
Sunfashing iceberg towers on high, and fleet
Az air ships rise. by upward currents whirled,
Even the bane of lustful islanders
Wings him aloft. And scarce pinion stirs.
There gathering hues, he stoopetl down again,
Down from the vault. Locks of the god-tpped cloud
Fly DER his head; his eyes, Saint Elmo flames;
His mouth. a surf on red coral reef.
Embroidered in his cloak of dark blue stain
With lightning jags Upon his pathway Syy. crowd do.
Dull Shudder, wan-faced Quaking, CHASTITY dreams;
And after these, in order near their chief,
Start Tremor, Faint-heart, Panic and ARRAY,
Horror with blanching eyes, and limp Dsmay.
Unroll gray-green carpet him before
Swathed in thick foam; thereon venturing bark
Need never hope to live; that yeasty pile
Bears no longer; to the masthead plunged
She writhes and grOans, careens, and ls no more.
Now prckt by fear, the man-deVonrer shark,
Gale-breasting gull and whale that dreams no guile
Till the sharp steel quite to the life has lunged,
BefoIe his pitess, onward hurting form
Hurry toward land for shelter from the storm
In vain. Tornado and his pursuivants,
Whirlwind of giant bulk, and Waterspout-
The gruesome, tortuous devil-fish Of rain
O'ertake them on the shoals and leave them dead.
Doomsday has come. Now men in speechless trance
Glover unmoved upon the hideous rout,
Or shreking fly to holes, or yet complain
One moment to that lordly face of dread
Before he quits the mountain OF his wave
Aud strews for all impartially their grave
And as in courtyard corners on the wind
Sweeps the loose straws, houses and stately trees
Whri in q vortex. His answering tread
Winnows the isle bare a thresher's floor.
His eyes are fixed; he looks not once behind,
But at his back fall silence and the breeze.
Scarce is he come the lovely wrath is sped.

And heaven still knows the robes of gold and dun
While placid Ruin gently greets the sun.

hope" 1t guides US on to the world to come,
filling heart and brain with peace. 1t lulls
our fears and trials to sleep, wreathing the
heart with Joy, and arching our sky WITH the
bow of promise. 1t is our ever present friend
when the wants and discouragements of life
are pressing sore, and the poor man cannot
tell from whence his next meal may come.
Hope springs up within his bosom, urging
him on and on, promising bright future and
reward if he will only make the effort-one
more effort; and SO we 60 on from day to
day, still wishing, and hoping for something
better. If you take away hope you would
take from the poor, fallen, unfortunate sinner,
the last ray of peace and solace; but by hope
he is stayed from the worst and final step in
his downward path She whispers, 'Stop!
look back to the road you have left, at the
sunshine and joy in the broad highway of
truth and honor, and now look forward,
down the dark, rough road to shame and
folly.
Return wanderer with me! There is for

Hope breaks to US the bread of life. If it
was not for hope we would make one effort,
and one failure, and cease from future efforts.
When we lose confidence in a friend we do
not judge the whole human race by that one,
but by hope we trust another and another
until the true friend is found. When Death,
the grim old monster who turns the forms of
those we love most into stony and poison

the narrow home of mortality, pleading and
pointing upward, and whispering of the meet

banks of eternity. 1t is hope that quiets the
wild, free throbs of the breaking heart. Our
eyes are closed to the good and evil of the
future, but our hope lives on the strength of
the beautiful unknown. believe hope is the
first impulse of the human heart. And with
its last faint throb hope will burst like lily
from the sod, and appear to our awakened
vision as the friend we saw Through glass
darkly" while walking with her here.
Were to live thousand years
There are things could not forget
There loves and fears, there smiles and tears
And hopes that would hold me yet.
We love, but often our love is vain,
Then hope comes up to cheer,
And whispers tenderly, TRY again,
Press on, for the victory's near
sunny smile may wreath our lips
While the heart is drowned in tears,
And alone in sorrow we seem to sit,
But hope has balm for fears.
Then who for wealth or applause or show
This truest friend would give?
The others take wings and fly away
Hope smiles and again we live.
A sweet, sad life, is life of hope
When our sorrow presses sore,
She teaches the heart with the i'll to cope,
And her song is 'Grieve no mOre.'
Aye, hope has been to many the stay
In the paths of truth and right,
1t has held them there who would 60 astray,
Till the good burst forth to sight
Then, it l were to live thousand years
With all other joys forgot
would keep for my fears through smiles and tears,

TIE Story Of an Umbrella.

The Nachrichten Of Basic tells story
which may give the bold purchaser a
hint of q new method of protecting him,
self against fraudulent shopkeepers. A
young gentleman bought a silk UNI
brella from an umbrella-dealer indef-
nitely characterized rs C. The
next day was rainy; the umbrella was
put into use, but the silk tore in six
places during the first hour of its con-
tact with the rain. The purchaser
went straight to the shop, exhibited the
ruined article, and demanded sound
one in its stead. C-'s silk umbrel-
las, however, were made to sell, not to
endure use; the dealer smiled politely,
and observed that purchasers ought TO
be careful when they made their selec-
ton. The young man took home his
umbrella, painted around it the follow
ing inscription in big letters: This is
how an umbrella looks to-day which
was at C--'s shop yesterday" and
hired commssionaire TO walk to and
fro before C---'s shop with the opened
umbrella for whole day.
This unusual form of advertisement
naturally irritated Herr c., and
could not have been without DETER
ing influence upon possible customers.
C sent for the police, and asked
them to arrest the bearer of the UNI
brella, but they declared that they
could see no legal crime in the com
missionaries proceeding, and declined
to take him off to Jail. Early the next
morning, the imperturbablc umbrella
carrier appeared again, and he kept
sentinel in this manner in front of
C---'s shop for nearly week, At the
end of this period, the shopkeeper saw
that he must give way, and calling the
man, asked him to go to his employer
and say that everything should be set
tied according to his wishes, When
the bold inventor of the stratagem en-
tered the shop, the dealer offered him a
sound silk umbrella in exchange for
the sickly one. The purchaser agreed
to accept it, but added the further de-
mand that the dealer should pay the
commissionaire a weeks wages, to
which suggestion he was also compelled
to assent London Globe.
