SALEM.

The present attitude of the farmers
acquits them of the charge that they
are the most apathetic in politics of
any class. The Republican farmers
are fully aroused to the political i'm
portance Of the day, and rave as fran
tically upon their man" as other men
are known to do, even without the in
SEPARATION of torchlight professions and
other political demonstrations. In
deed, were the farmers to labor many
more days under the excitement, fears
would be entertained what it might
lead to, hence there are reasons to be
glad that the day is near at hand when
they will find a remedy through the
ballot box. All will turn out to vote
on Tuesday.

brass band, of Union Grove, to come
to that place on Saturday. Waite's

good reception. They spread nice
supper for their distinguished guests,
whose work of devastation upon the
good things was a satisfaction to all
concerned. In the evening the two
bands gave a concert to a crowded
house. On the whole, the Salem boys
express themselves highly pleased with
their visit.
Mr.. Sam Munson and Miss Frances

ANS WERS TO QUESTIONS

The cause of the high wind on the
10th was the overheated condition OF
the atmosphere. The 18th was an
unusually warm day for October, the
atmosphere became heated, and the
cold air of the surrounding regions
rushed in and displaced the. warm,
light air. Another reason was that
Wisconsin lay in the track of a storm
which had its beginning in the Rocky
Mountains, and which swept eastward
with unusual force. The storm center
or axis around which the wind rotated
must have passed north of us.

MUSIC IN THE NIGHT,

HARRIET PRESCOTT sPoFFoRD
When the stars pursue their solemn flight
Oft in the middle Of the night
A strain Of music visits me
flushed i'll a moment silyery-
Such rich and rapturous strains as make
The very soul of silence ache
With longing for the melody.
Or lovers in the distant dusk
OF summer gardens, sweet with musk,
Pouring the blissful burden out,
The breaking joy, the dying doubt:
Or revelers-.tll flown with wine,
And in a madness half divine.
Beating the broken tune about
Or else the rude and roling notes,
That leaves some strolling sailors throats
H:arse with the salt spray it may be,
Ofmany a mile Of rushing sea:
Or some hiSh-minded dreamer strays
Late through the solitary wavs,
Nor needs the listening night OF me.
Or how. how whence those tones be heard
Hearing, the sl,rmbarins soul is stirred,
AS when a swiftly passing light
Startles the shadows into flight
While one remembrance suddenly
Thrills through the melting melody
a strain of music in the night.
Out OF darkness bursts the song,
Into ths darkness moves along;
Only Il chord of memory Jars,
Only an old wound bursts its sears,
As the wild sweetness of the strain
Smitcs the heart with passionate pain,
And vanshes among the stars.

THOUGHTS AT EVENING.

THOUGHTS AT EVENING.
By A. j. REYNOLDS.
Whenever cross the river
And its bridge with wooden piers,
Like the odor Of brine from the ocean
Come the thoughts of other years.
-Lomafcllov.
Thoughts at evening, did I say
Whilst lonely sit me here,
Gazing on the foamy spray
As it splashes on the piers
OF the old and disused bridge,
Standing in the silv'ry lake;
Sit OH its lonely edge,
Sacred spot can't forsakc.
And I'm thinking here this evening,
As I've often thought before;
Though my heart is sorely grieving,)
Think of the days Of yore.
Think of my early childhood,
Here beside this silent stream;
See once again the Wildwood,
Like vision-like a dream.
See the wildwood where wandered
In my simple, childish way;
Think Of moments have squandcrcd
Gathering flowers day by day.
See the same old, dear companions,
Rob and Dick and Bill and Joe; .m
AS we thus extend our ramblcs,
Needless, careless, onward 20.
Hear the Ginning Of the church bells,
In the busy. clamrous town;
On we wander through the sweet dclls.
'Mong the leaves now scre and brown.
Hear the cooing Of the shy dove,
Hear the warbling of ,lle linnet;
One speaks sad notcs-tones Of love,
One speaks rapture-,joy is in it.
But, now mark you, these are things
That occurred long years ago;
OF which I'm thinking-and it brings
Throbs of bliss and throbs of woe.
Oh / wish they could have lasted,
With their JOY and with their glcc;
But our fondest hopes arc blasted,
Phantom-likc they round us flee.
Who can always dwell mid pleasure!
Woe at last must surely come;
Some is light-somc simple measure,
And deep and blea'E and drear is some
Often it will pass as lightly
As a fitting summer cloud;
n{tnu r. will ala, yo oc f;rhtlv
AS the folds Of grim deaths shroud.
All these thoughts that come at even,
When sit here all alone;
Some are swcct-some speak Of Heaven,
Others sad and make me moan.
But they will not " down at bidding,
Stay they like old Banquo's ghost;
Though they're hideous- quite forbidding
Linger they at any cost.
They will bring up forms and faces
That care not now to sec:
Bring backseenes aud recall traces
That thought were dead to me.
Heart is throbbing-wildly throhbins,
For a face plainly see;
Avaunt away. oh, it is robbing
Nc OF strengtll-therc. let it flee
ALI! it's gone ! and now the beating
Moves in reg 'l;,r time once more
But the objects still are tceting
Round and near me, by the shore
So close my moistened cvclils,
Trying thus the pain to smother;
And my heart now grief forbids,
For Im thinking Of my mother!
Again see her mild kind face,
AS she gazes on her boy;
All, me! that look is full Of grace,
In her eyes shine love and joy.
Ah the sadness now has vanished,
Once again the heart is still;
That sweet face the pain has banishcd,
Feel now no more the thrill
For feel that near this being
Fllsity can never be;
And whilst l thus her face am seeing,
There's no room for misery,
But the thoughts will come at eve,
In their long and racking train;
Let them go-to the winds l give
Thoughts that must not come again.
