Sweet memories of long ago,
When all the world seemed fair to mel
When I was but a little lad,
And my dear love scarce summers eight
With datfodils of yellow gold

And. lifting up her flower-face
And rosebud lips, 1 kissed for love
That fairy queen, with silken curls,
And eyes as blue as heaven above.
Then, later. when my flower bloomed
Into sweet and lovely maid,
Once more crowned her royalty
With golden lilies III the glade,
And, bending low the knee, did
Meet homage to my sovereign fair
And as my privilege claimed
One golden f1ow'r, one tress of hair.
With fingers trembling, head bent down
Dark lashes resting on her cheek.
She plucked f1ow'r from out her crown,
And handed 1t, demurc and meek.

How little thought I on that IIay

But once again / saw her crowned,
In snowy robes. at perfect rest
A crown of lilies on her brow,
crown of lilies on her breast.

TO get back upon tie throne. They

scheme was carried out, and the two

Among the first statesmen of the em~

The Southern Claims.

General Hancock's refusal to define his
views regarding Southern claims is provok-
ing much unfayorable comment. His ST.
lence is attributed, whether justly or not, to
recollection of the punishment visited
upon Mr.. Tilden for an expression of opin-
ion concerning the same subject four years
ago. The South have never forgiven Til
den, and their hostility caused his defeat at
Cincinnati His successor to the dubious
honor OF Democratic nomination is not
minded to repeat the indiscretion.
But silence that pleases the South dis
turbs and alarms the North. This question
of Southern claims is real and menacine
danger, and the section that bears the great
er burden of taxation and on whose indus
try the impost must be levied that satisfies
these Southern demands, may well be
appalled, at the prospect before it, The
claims are not barred by the Fourteenth
Amendment. That only forbids payment
for the loss of slaves or for debts incurred in
aid of rebellion. 1t does not cover the
cotton tax, or the great variety of loss and
damage incidental to war Bills are now
pending in Congress which involve the pay
ment of Southern claims to the amount of
more than two thousand millions of dollars
There is no Constitutional interdiction in
the way of them. Even the test of loyalty
will be repealed if the Democrats get full
control. Democratic Congresses have al
ready attempted the repeal. With the aid
of Democratic Executive they can accom-
plish it. The payment of these claims is
the Southern price for support of Hancock,
and if the rich and industrious North is de-
srous of dscharging the enormous bills it
will elect Hancock.

"Now, my dear" said Mr.. Spoopendyke, as
he stepped out of his bathing house and
thumped on the door of that used by Mrs.
Spoopendyke, "are you ready? We must hurry

Mrs. Spoopendyke emerged, bent almost

''Isn't it rather chilly?" she asked.
"Not at all, Mrs. Spoopendyke. not at all.
The air is rather cool, but the water is warm.
If you are going with me you want to move

AS they reached the beach Mr.. Spoopendyke
left his wife and boldly strobe into the surf. A
wave broke over him filling his eyes, nose and
mouth and then he strobe out.
''what are ye standing there for, eh?" he
demanded. "What do you take yourself for,

bath, or are you waiting for some ship to tie
up to you? What's the matter with you, any

retorted Mr.. Spoopendyke. "Wait till get a

Mr. Spoopendyke marched boldly iuto the sea
again. He turned his face toward the shore
and beckoned to his wife. Another wave
caught him and landed him high and dripping
on the shore.

around few moments in safety, but the

EX-SENATOR WARNER has written a let
ter on the political situation as he views it
from Alabama The great danger to the
country, he believes, will come from the
complete ascendancy of the South. He says /:
Let the North speak this Fall in thunder
tones, that the .bull-dozers and ballot-box
suffers may take warning of the coming
wrath of an indignant people. They will re-
spect power, and they will respect nothing
else. We may forgive them ever so freely
for their bloody effort to divide the country
but they will not forgive us for foiling them
in that effort If you win now by decided
majorlties this will be the final battle. The
Bourbon, bull-dozing, ballot-box- -stuffing
party of the South will be hurled from pow
er in all Or nearly all the Southern States,
and parry win succeed which, if not Re-
publican in name, will be national and pat
riotic in spirit, and devoted to fair cleo
tions."
