GOLDEN WEDDING.

GOLDEN WEDDING. As they, who move OCT tranquil seas, .,f With sails full-set and fav'ring breeze, While round the wide horizon lies, Nor signals warn, nor clouds arise, e May scarcely note the vessels speed, To tide and time give little heed; But when they near their native shore And mark familiar scenes once more, When full upon their shore ward sight The beacon throws the head land light, And welcomes to the fort again, ..r The voyagers of the mighty main, How swell their hearts supremely blest What varied transports i'll the breast Their pulses throb with joyous beat Once more the friendly port to greet So we upon the restless tide All Of human life might thoughtless glide, Nor mark how swift we leave the shore, Or seek the great unknown before, Were there no ports with shelt'ring arms, No beacons with their kind alarms, 70 To warn us of the flight of time, And point us to the Elysian cline! But Providence has 90 decreed That they who run may see and read, May mark the blessings that arise, And use the moment ere it flies. Days, months and seasons, hath He set For monitors, that man forget ..... Not what his destiny may be, a-. And from the evil turn and flee! But chiefly that with thankful heart Man should receive the better part 1 ..s....- Though fraught with ill our lives may seem And life itself q troubled dream, ""'s '.'. Yet good, through all, OCT all, holds sway And thus this oft-recurring day s ra..r s. At length has filled perfect round, And with golden circle bound Your welded life and here we come To greet you, parents, in your home, With you rejoice, your lives have been So blest for years, tsoo score and ten; So blest with welded happiness, Or Eden's joys, the only bliss That has survived the primal fall; GAS sang the greatest bard of all.) Full fifty years, since you were wed, Your lives in peaceful course have sped, And shown, as only honor can, Obedience to the Makers plan, The wise, original decree, a y--. That of the twain one flesh should be. Mans highest wisdom thus is shown, The justice of Gods law to own, And honor by submission true, The letter and the spirit, too! A blessing follows in the way t-.a Of those who walk from day to day '< With willing feet, the path marked out, No. halt, nor hesitate, nor doubt. "His children's children shall he see, 2. And lsraels peace, is Gods decree. With us your children's children here As living witnesses appear. IS. s And we rejoice with them and you, That He who promises, is true. Then hail the Golden Marriage day, And bless the blessings by the way! .v Three score and ten, the portioned span Of pilgrimage allotted man, Your years have measured out, and more, Still may your strength fulfil four score. But heed the lesson, as we ought, By life's experience kindly taught, < We dare not ask to greet once more This golden day on earthly shore. But when before The Great 'I am ea The Marriage Supper of the Lamb Is held, the crowning feast, at last ..-.l. When crowds before the Groom are cast, May you, in wedding garments dressed, Be there to share the promised rest.

The Democratic Claim of Economy.

IRON inc EVehihR WISCONSIN, Milwaukee,
The Democrats, as q reason why their
party should be placed in control of the
government, refer to the alleged econo-
my which the party has exhibited in the
making of appropriations since it came
into power i'll congress; aud they sue
coed in making many believe that they
have really made some remarkable saw
ings in that direction. Fortunately pub
lication recently issued from the treasury
department gives the amount of appro-
priations for each fiscal year from 1873
to 1881, together with the coin value of
each. From this statement it appears
that the value in coin of the several
yearly aggregates was as follows: For
the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1873,
1874, 10000 1874, $l53, 900; for
1875, $l37, 900, 900; for 1876, 1929, 900, :
900; for 1877, $l15, 900, 900; for 1873,
$50, 100000; for 1879, $171, 200, 900; for
1880, $162, 000,0 900; for 1881, 1854, 0OO,-
600. The smallness of the sum for 1878
was occasioned by the refusal of
the Democrats to vote appropriations for
the support of the army and other pur-
poses. The first three years mentioned
congress was controlled in both branches
by Republicans, yet it will be seen that
the appropriations aggregated less than
those for the last two years named,
when the Democrats were in control.
This effectually puts M end to the DEM
ocratic claim of superior economy.
But this is not all: the appropriations
for river and harbor improvements dur
ing the years lS734-5, when Republic
cans were in power, averaged about
$1,000, 900; while the average for the
years lS79-S0-S1, when the Democrats
preponderated in congress, was little
short of $4,000, 900. As these figures
are from official sources, Republicans
should keep them in mind so as to be
ready to refute the stock assertion of the
Democrats that they have saved the gov
ernment great sums Of money.

Wade HalnDtOn,s SDeech.

The recent speech of Wade Hampton,
ut StauntOn, Va, has created very
proper sensation, because it was clearly
an appeal to the South to vote for Han
cock and English, on the ground that
their success would he sure to place
around them such class of Democratic
advisers that the southern confederates
would have gained over the North, by
ballot, what they could not secure by
arms. OF course, IN effort has been
made to suppress TINT portion of his
speech. A German newspaper of Balti-
more (The Wecker,) thus pithily COM
ments on the new issue which is thereby
presented for decision Mt the November
election: ......
In his political zeal and in the sunshine of
bright hopes for the future, Wade Hampton, Of
South Carolina, made the mistake Of his life at
Staunton, Va. The Democrats will have to pay
dear for his thoughtlossness, this letting the cat
out of the bag too soon, on the part of one Of
thor leaders, and his excellency Wade Hampton
may have spoiled his future career forever
First the Democratic party destroys its house,
hold gods and dominates Union general ~ its
standard.bearer In the presidential cam
paignj and then comes the southern hot
spur, and with bounce, announces to
the world that the election in November
will decide the principles for which Lee
and Stonewan Jackson fought 80 heroically for
four years. This means IN plain and unmistak-
able English that what they could not attain
with bullets they viii have by the aid Of tho
Democratic congress and Democratic presi-
dent. Heaven protect the poor United States
treasury II these hungry Democratic southern
wolves get o fair haul at 1t! Naturalization for
losses sustained during the war until tho last
goose and chicken that Sherman's bummers
stole on his march through Georgia IL paid for!
These are fine prospects Tor the future indeed!
Even northern Democrats indignantly repudiate
such doctrines, and will not support the repre-
sentative Of party one Of whose shining lights
seems TO be Of tho opinion that oil those who
wore Uncle SANS monkey Jacket and musket
ore traitors to the state OF South Carolina,

door, IL there was any protection for q
peaceable citizen. The man appealed
to, turning to group of the bull dozers
near by, said: 81 guess he won't do you
"any harm, boys; better let him alone. Z"
One Of the crowd thus addressed replied:
"YOu don't know what you say, nor
"whO he is; we heard him yesterday. 4"
Then turning to Randall, he said:
"You're, n white man with black
"heart, come down here to divide the
Democratic party, and we don't want
"and won't have no such damned men
in this country"
The result was that Randall was
escorted to the railroad station by some
OF the Democrats, and put upon the
train, from the platform of which he re-
buked the crowd, for their intolerance, rs
he departed. h. ..a :.... o..
With such tactics, coupled with false
counting, it is not surprising that
Alabama has gone Democratic by many
thousands. The question is, how long
il this kind of thing to be tolerated in a
country whose institutions are founded
upon the principle of free speech and
equal rights for all ? Why is it that no
man can safely exercise the constitutions
al right of free speech in opposition to
the Democratic party in eight or
ten states of this Union? Less outrages
than this upon individual rights have
fomented revolutions in years past, yet
it is calmly acquiesced in here as if it
were necessary or natural concomitant
of political antagonism! A change
must come, and it can only come by the
success of the Republican party.
