OCTOBER.

A few songs, and these tuDefn voices
Ger the blue spendOr of the Southern Sfa
Will sound, where the red taniser reioices
Beneath the acacia and the orange tree.
Soon by one the rods now bright and golden,
VIII turn TO dusty brambles by the way,
And starry asters fall from the olden
Rich tapestries the glories faded away.
Slowly the rnshes, and the flags Of irs.
Dropping, their purple banners raise,
And deep, as in the land Of dark Osiris
Streams the red light, through bars of chrysophrase
A few more days, and ali this world of flowers,
The light and glory On the land and main,
Will fade once on great Aladdin's towers
The enchantment passed, and all was dark again
No kingly power, wand Of necromaneer,
Can gid with gold the withered fields again.
No clarion voice fill, with jOcund answer
\ veil of silence falls on hill and plain.
Yet in the west an orange light is burning.
Where bright heaven steadfast lamp i lit high,
And bold Orion comes. each night returning.
With countless worlds worlds, beyond the sky.
And love shall live though ali the rocks should crumbt
And with the everbloOmng cypress last
And hands clasp. tho loud the storm winds rumble
And joys burn brighter in the wntry blast

CRAFTSMANSHIP VS.. BEAUTY.

A song to the lad who is honest and true,
Our Garfield, the boy of the West;
Who off in his youth, much Of poverty knew,
Who stuck to his team, and pulled his boat through
And as helmsman afterwards headed his crew,
And always found doing his best.
Tho a southern cyclone may darken the land,
And threat ming clouds gather fast,
The old Ship Of State the tempest will stand,
And ride DER the pillows majestic and grand,
Stsaded and guided by true hemsmans hand
Till the force Of the tempest is past.
We boast not of beauty for nominee.
Or a corset to straighten his frame;
There's a true honest face, q pledge all may see,
OF irmness to stand by the flag Of the free
Till all meath its folds forever shall be
Free then in truth, well as in name.
With Garfield and Arthur. well sound refrain,
Till its music is heard far'ond wide;
And the note that is heard in far northern Maine,
Shall echo, till heard ON the Pacific again,
From Columbias mouth to CALIFORNIA; plain,
And back to the Atantics broad tide.
The Southern land, too. tho elouded in night,
Shall rejoice at the bright coming morn;
When thoroughly freed from slavery blight
The white shall yield to a true sense Of right;
Which the black man will hail with shout of delight
When n nation to freedom is born.
There once a brave man but why tell his name
Ii matters not now when where;
When Grant with his army suddenly came.
His capital city was one bright lurid flame;
He fed for his life, but for that who's to bamei
But he fed in womans attire,
But their candidate begins his first race,
BY drawing his corsetstrings tight;
With a BEAUTIFUL form and beautiful face
With Chesterfield manners and Beau Brummels grace,
With Madame Foy corset, and q bosom of lace,
He's the Democrats JOY and delight.

CAMPAIGN SONG.
Air:-"Naaey Lee"

of all the men that eer you know
Yeo no. lads no! yeo no. yeo no.
There's none like Garfield this trow,
Yeo no. lads no! yeo no!
Always for right he braves each fight,
And waivers not.
And when q rag" assails the flag
He's on the spot,
And with each blow lays traitors low
With shell and shot.
Yeo no! lads, no! yeo no,
The statesman tried the freemans choice shall be-
Yo no! We 60, to victory,
The statesman tried the freeman's choice shall be-
And Garfield true our choice shall be.
Twas slavery raised its hydra head
Our country then was filed with woe;
And strewed each field with Union dead
Twas nought. my lads. but woe.
But boys in blue stood firm and true
Upon each held.
And rebel gray, it lost the day.
And had to yield.
The Union then was safe again.
Hurrah! brave boys, hurrah,
CHoRUs-
Think Of the time that tried mems souls; !"
Who was il filled our land with woe
And shout We freemen. at the polls,
Thou shalt NO further CO."
And then declare that everywhere
Within our land,
Twill never do to trust anew
That trait ruus band:
That fraud must yield to right the field,
On every hand.
And truth shall win the day.

THE DEMOCRATIC HOLSTERS LAMENT.
October IS, 1880,

Bill English is banker bold,
He has a bari of dollars;
He wears store clothes. so / am told,
And shirts with linen collars.
He walks about, and talks right out
Folks say that he's a screecher;
How much they lose when they refuse
So wonderful creature.
oh, doleful day All, well you may
Draw out your big bandanna,
When l relate the woeful fate
of Bill, in Indiana
Hes awful smart; no man know
Can sell them out more neatly,
Or grind a wretched debtor foe
To powder more completely.
And all his gains the law sustains,
No crookedness about him;
The blasted fools, or knayes or tools,
How could they dare to fiout hint
As well might Jews refuse to use
The Acknowledgement mama.
As HoOsier shoats refuse their votes
To Bill, of Indiana.
And when the great Convention sent
Our Bill the nomination,
To run him for ce-President
He skipped with exultation.
Shecrly ON spec. he drew his check,
And tapped his bari Of money,
And all the land, at his command,
Gushed forth with milk and honey.
And vet. sad fate he lost his State;
Oh, dear! oh, dear. how can q
Man with a heart act such a part
Towards Bill, Of Indiana
Now on his empty bari he sits,
And nlouru. hi. heavy losses.

See my merry little friends,
In their .psy childhood.
With basket on each ARM
Trudging through the wildwood
Going nntt;ng up the bill,
Through the tangled graSses
Drinking from each Pebbly brook.
Merry lads aud lasses-
Now a squirrel In the bush
Sets their hearts TO bt=ating:
Now a scarlet-tinted leaf
Meets with noisy greeting,
Then an orchard claims its share
Filled with apples mellcw;
Then tardy field Of corn
Turning scar and yellow.
Marx the stiffness of the air,
Clear and crisp Octol,er-
Telling Winters coming .-son.
Winter brown and sober:
Purple mist DER hill and vale.
Echoes clear res-sanding.
Deeper shadows in the stream
Set the pulse to bounding.
Heavy laden, home they 60
Home To tea and leisure,
With their sturdy crooks in hand
Wearieil out with pl-asure.
Happy youngsters, lii. will soon
Mingle icy and sadness;
MAY the meg'ry of these days
Bring them joy and gladness.
Memory take US back again
Thirty years and over
Back tn bOyhcods haleyon days
And nutting IN October:
Then the bright woods seemed to US
Full Of golden glory,
Where the shadows now lie deep.
Since We learned ife's story.

THE UNION SOLDIERS NINE REASONS.

!. Because accept the declaration of Demo
cratic orators that the principles at issue in this
political contest "are the same principles for
which Lee and jackson fought, !" and We are now,
as were then, on the side of the Nation, and
against her enemies.
.. Because the Solid South has again forced
upon the Nation a battle for its existence, We
shall vote as we fought, for the Nation, and
against her enemies.
3. Because the Solid South has once deluged
this land with blood to destroy the Nation, we
are now, as we were then, for the Nation, and
against her enemies.
4. Because the blood of our comrades who fell
in defense of the Nation calls upon to see that
they did not die in vain therefore we are for the
Nation, and against her enemies.
5. Because in this Solid South the flag of the
Nation, which carried in triumph from the
prairies to the sea, is insulted and trampled
under foot, therefore for the Nation, and
against her enemies.
6. Because the principles for which fought
were right, and because the Nation prevailed, we
are for the Nation, and against her enemies.
Z. Because the men who led and the Nation
to victory are with us in this contest, we shall
vote for the Nation, and against her enemies.
:. Because the man who leads this Solid South
has deserted the principles for which he fought,
and gone over to the enemy, therefore vote
for our principles, and against our enemies.
9. Because we believe that the God who rules
above will again give victory to the cause of
right, and nerve once more to fling out in
triumph over all her enemies the banner of the
Nation,
