l wonder what foreigner, making

think, when he sees, attached to every

an ordinary observer it would seem
that the front doors were wide enough

pressing necessity for lager or whis-

derful to relate, if some generous
soaker, who does not like tn drink
alone, offers to treat him, he respect

that lie doesn't drink. A short time
ago, he added to his establishment a
Family Entrance" Over the door
was a stunning gilded sign: and just
inside was hole in the wall, about a
foot square; and there was little
bell to ring, to attract the bar-keeper's
attention, and a chair in the hall
which served double purpose la
dies could sit down on it while their
bottles were being filled, and children
could climb an it to reach the bell.

SHE WAS RIGHT.

BY c. II. THAYER.
She stands before her mirror, fair,
In girlisll innocence and grace,
Preparing with ingenious touch
To heigiItcn charms Of form and face.
She brushes with nns|Mrin. hand
Her sllken trrsss.s. long aud bright,
For she assust.ly intends
Too look her very best tonight.
She quickly plaits the cleaning strands,
Aud as the rOse-hues tint her cheek,
She says, :" He surely loves me, and
wonder why he does not speak 3"
She curls i'll bewitching way
The tiny locks that DER her brow
In negligent profusion STRAY.
A leafy bud she now selects, @.5
DispOsing it as if by chance
Amid the curls, then bird like gives
A quick and scrutinizing glance.
The pretty dinpling smiles reveal
Her Satisfaction ut the sight,
Aud then she sighs and mufmurs low,
hope that he will speak tonight"
Bright gems are clasped on neck and brow
The silken robe before unworn
Is laced, and bows coquettishly
Serves to embcllish and adorn.
And then-nO, no, I'll never tell
The little secrets beauty knows
To give the last enchanting touch,
From which she blossoms like a rose.
Enough that every moment fair
And fairer still indeed she seems,
A sight the faircst might invoke
To haunt our brightest. fondest dreams
Then all equipped, cen to the foot
That glealns on satin from the tlo0.,
She stands and leisurely surveys
The charming figure DER and Ger.
No wonder that she smiles and mods
Back to the face she knows is fair;
No wonder she her head nplifts
With such proud, audacious air.
Another look All, yes," she says,
: He will, I'm sure, propose tonight ,
Then gathering up her dainty robes,
She goes below, anl-she ,cas right.

TOO LATE.
BY DUNDEE,
Too late, too late, why came ye net in
season,
When hope was bright, aad strength and
courage high;
When my cle:r brain could plan and deftly
reaseu,
What have now with thee, L who have
but to .tic.
Too late, too late, the bloom is of the roses
And the weird sunsets ne'er can charm
me anore;
No place looks green but where one dead
reposes,
No skies are blue like the blue skies ef
Too late forever in my eyes there's loom
Loved forms remembered on earth no
more; 5-
And ever in my cars, the sullen booming
Of cold waves breaking upon Deaths
shore.
Too late /! too late! tire wines Of life I've
wasted,
And now drink the lees, all darkling and
alone;
And yet amidst the gloom family still can
falter,
Not my will Father, but Thine own be
dOne.''

FROM DELA WARE.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM OF THE
sTATE-THE HOSPITALITY or THE PEOPLE
WHAT THEY THINK OF THE YANKEE-coN-
DITIoN OF THE NEGROES.
LEwEs, DEL. Oct. 1G, 1880.
Mr.. Edit0r! The Diamond State, though
small, likes to be socially and politically no.
tced. While it is to New England we espe-
cially look for enterprise, talent and culture,
Delaware is not by any means without these
qualities. The late improvements in her pub
lie schools are already having a salutary effect.
Lewes is the oldest and one of tho most i'm.
portant places in the State and yet only five
years ago its school year was limited to three
months, and further instruction had to be OBJ
tained from the private schools Now the
finest structure in Lewes is the high school
building, called here the academy. Prof II.
G. Carpenter, from New York principal of
the school, is enthusiastic in his efforts to fit
pupils for college, and in the cause of educa-
ton generally.
The disinterested hospitality and sociability
of the people particularly impressed me when
l came here from the Connecticut river valley,
stranger to every one. There is not so
much of that competitive spirit which we see
everywhere in Vermont and Massachusetts
but, on the contrary, disposition to show
friendliness towards all who show themselves
friendly. 1t is not uncommon, when out
calling, to hear the invitation, Come. and
stay week with u.s. and Of such az we have
we will give YOU
! 1t is unnecessary to say, however that
among the most bgoted there is great deal
of bitter feeling toward the Yankees" |
have never been treated with incivility, but
scarcely ever mention my native State to them.
The children seem to have vague idea that
Yankee is a kind of ferocious beast The
following illustrates
Lite Boy-"Teacher, Mary called you an
a,cttl name going home last night
Tedeher--" Mary, can this be true 7"
Ndry-"No ma'am."
Little Boy-"Yes, she did-she dill. She
called you Iankee|
Tedcher-"J Johnny, do you know what n
Yankee is z"
JoAHny-"No, naam; / never saw one.
Sawa picture Of one once, and it's something
awful, | know
The teacher explained to the relief of the
boy.
About two-ffths of the population are col
ored and live in novels of the most misera-
ble construction. They have a church with
out regular pastor, aud a schoolhouse with
out teacher nearly all the year One great
reason why there are not more Republicans
in the State is that the act enfranchising the
blacks was the signal for a stampede Of white
men to the Democratic ranks, who were until
then Republicans The black man was once
their slave, and they do not wish to allow him
any social privileges. The Democrats here
will not even solicit the votes Of the blacks,
and many vote the Democratic ticket because
they won't vote with the niggers." c.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1880-10-29
was as follows

WHAT GEN. SHERIDAN OF LOUISIANA TOLD AN
OHIO AUDIENCE WAS THE MATTER WITH THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
While Gen. George A. Sheridan of Louisi-
ana was speaking in Cleveland one evening
just previous to the late Ohio State election,
he was interrupted by an adopted citizen with
the question, What is the matter of the
Democratic party any way; = Quick as light
ming Sheridan turned from tho line of argu-
ment that he was pursuing, aud gave an an
swer to his interrupter which all who heard il
will remember as long as they live. 1t was
as follows
What is the matter with the Democratic
party | will tell you, my friend. The
Democratic party was born under planets that
were in opposition. It lives in the objective
case. Like mule, "it has no pride of an.
cestry; no hope Of posterity.' Itneyer origi.
mates anything. 1t shines by borrowed light.
1t has never been Joined in honest wedlock to
principle, but lived for years in open adul-
terry with mistress called slavery-lived with
her till she died of corruption and was buried
amid the sobs and groans of her paramour.
The atmosphere that surrounds Democracy is
full Of noXlous yapors that breed moral pes.
thence and death. The sun never shines
through it; vice seeks its shadow, and cor
ruption grows lusty under its unholy nhu-
ence. Springs Of purity are never found in
Democracy. Its waters are torpid, lifeless-
covered with the filth and scum with which
stAguant pools and moveless waters always
offend the eyes of men. The soil which Dem.
ocracy has cultivated has failed to yield har-
vests of value to the nation, but has given
crops Of worthless weeds and briars. Dem
ocracy has no love of country; believes in
States inst, ad of nation drives loyalty from
its doors and welcomes treason to its habita-
tions holds the deeds of our soldiers and
sailors as naught; strives TO blacken the
names OF our heroes weeps over the lost
cause hates the blue and loves the gray ;
stabs loyalty in the back binds up the wounds
of treason, and speaks words of hope and
comfort to its deyotees; applauds when help
less blacks are stricken down in the South,
and careBses the hands red with their limo
cent blood denies the right Of American cit
! izens to make homes for themselves in the
| South justiies the men who shoot then
| down or drive them out. Democracy is a
| curse to the land the source of our bitteres
woes the haven where vice finds friends anC
crime its apologsts and defenders. Democ
racy Is original sin let loose to rend and de
stroy it is the spirit Of evil filling the swine
Of the nation the incarnation of unholiness
| the child of the evil, its home should be il
that outer darkness where there is weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Such
family pictured, my friend, is what is the
matter with the Democratic party
