Prior to the breaking out Of the Rebel
lion our Northern Democrats were con-
stantly forced to explain and apologize to
the people for the actions, speeches, and
declarations of the Southern end OF their
party. But when the clash Of arms came,
and they were forced to take sides, no one
had reason to complain Of the loyalty OF
the rank and file of the Northern Democ.
rsey. The situation to-day is not altogeth-
er unlike that OF 1860 The Northern
Democrats did not believe the reports from
the South then, and they deny them now,

The latest novelties in shawl pins, ol
as charms to hang from watch chains
and bracelets, are infant pigs in gold
silver or enamel. This fashion is sup
posed to have originated in Austria,
where the hog is esteemed a beast Of
good omen, and its likeness is worn, as
the Neapolitans wear corral horn, ia

on the contrary, there is no term so op'
probrious as is conveyed by the word
"conhon," and we wonder that they
should ever have permitted even its

duced into polite society. The sym.

more interesting, as for instance the

Strong Governments.

The strongest government is that
whose roots are planted in the largest
number of loyal hearts. A government
is strong in proportion to the protection
it affords to its supporters.
Most of the governments of the old
world are simply robbers leagues,
They are established, not to promote
the public good and general welfare,
but to protect and fortify pillage and
plunder; and to enable those who adj
minister them to enslave and rob the

An absolute monarchy is the weak

LONGING.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

ny JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
Of all the myriad moods of mind,
That through the soul cOmedthronging
Which one was e'er so good, so kind.
SO beautiful, as longing?
The thing We long for, that we are
For one transcendent moment,
Before the present, poor and bare,
Can make It's sneering comment.
Still, through our paltry stir and strife,
CLOVIS down the wished ideal,
And longing moulds in clay what life
Carvcs In the marble real.
To let the new life in, we know,
Desire must Ope the pOrtal;-
Perhaps the longing to be so
Helps make the soul immortal
Longing Is Gods fresh heavenward will
With our poor earthly striving;
We quench 1t, that We may be still
Content with merely living;
But would we learn that hearts full
scope
Which we are hourly wrOngng,
Our lives must climb from hope TO hope
And realize our longing.
Oh let us hope that TO our praise
Good God not only reckOnS
The moments when we tread His ways
But when the spirit beckons--
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond self-SatisfactiOn.
When we are simply good in thought,
llowe'er we fail in action.
