You say you love me, dcarest one,
With fond affection true;
And that though time may changes prin
III find no change in you;
But will you love me when I'm old,
And time around shall fling
The cares Of life. upon our path,
From off his heavy wing?
And when old age shall, one by one,
Place burrows ON thy brow;
Oh, will you cherish and adore
Adore inc then-as now!
And when my hair is turning gray
NV pulse of life beats low;
Oh. will YOU love me then. dear one
Time-only time will show. -
Nhat'er our lot in life may be,
i have linked my fate with thlre;
N-hal'er of chance or change we see,
THY trials shall be mine;
And though misiorlunc's iron hand
Should upon thee be prcssa;
I'd speak to the such tones of love,
Twoulh make thy pathway blest,-
The present, love, Hte happy hours,
Which We together share;
l love to gaze within lhinc eyes,
And press Thy flowing hair;
But should we live till age has turned
Thy raven locks to SNOW,
Nv love for the shall be the sane,-
Aud timc-yes, time shall show.

Mr.. James o. Lyford, Democratic mem
Der Of the New Hampshire constitutional
convention in 1876, and for two years polit-

The Party of Anarchy.

The Democratic party has ever been
an arrogant and oppressive party. and
when. in 1860. it saw its power DEPART
ing. it became the party of anarchy.
and determined to destroy government
which it could no longer rule.
Failing in this. after a four years war,
it decided to attempt once more to get
control of the government. The meth
DDS it has employed to accomplish this
have been even more destructive TO the
fundamental principles of free govern
ment than was the war The purity of
eleciions-''the full and fair vote and
an honest counts the basis on which
we must stand if we stand at all. In
the South the Democratic party have
entirely subveried this principle and to-
day the South is solid only by practical
~ DISTINGUISHING one-half its voters.
Ever since the party has gained control
OF the Legislative branch of the govern
ment il has sought by every means in
it, power to break down the barriers
which aim to protect the ballot box.
even going So far a. to obstruct the
wheels of the government to accomplish
that object.
In this State only last year the Demo
cratic party attempted to seize the reius
of the State government by means too
well remembered to need rehearsing.
In Indiana and Ohio it has long been
their custom to colonize voters from
other States, and this year this nefarious
scheme has been carried 10 such an ex-
tent a. TO seriously endanger the peace
of those States. In New York and
Philadelphia, where the Immigrant first
reaches our shores, the laws relative TO
the naturalization of foreign citizens,
have been set at naught. and only las;
week the leader of the Democracy, in
New York. advised Ia, follower. To
resist | nitcd States Marshals and their
subordinate officers by force.
The patriotic and law abiding people of
this country are long suffering, patient
and enduring. but the time will come
when they will see the anarchical policy
of the Democratic party and it viii then
be checked Ii will be well if the pco-
pie are aroused in time to accomplish
this by peaceful measures.
