IN LONELY MOMENTS.

Though we should do our work alone
Nor catch the hearty cheer
Of fellow toilers at their posts.
Nor know a comrade near,
We need not sigh from flush of dawn
Till opals dye the west
To work with heart as well as hands
In the busy hours is best.
But when the day is over.
And in the evening tide
The loving press the closer
Each to the others side,
And the friendly shadows creep around
And the light fades from the sea,
The lonely heart cries out in pain
If none to care there be.
If all the tender days of old
Are seen through mists of tears,
If sweet child voices only speak
Through distances of years;
If from the lighted homes of earth
We needs must turn away,
What is there for the sorrowful
But to weep on and pray2
Yet there is none so desolate
That no eyes meet his own,
That he must walk through Gods fair earth
Uncontrolled, alone;
And if there were, the Son of Man
By all his loneliness
Borne here, is made Comforter
To pity and to bless.
o lonely hearts, be glad in him
His word this solace brings,
Your Heavenly Father knoweth
Ye have need of all these things"
And if in loyal service
You bring to him your best
And all the day worked faithfully,
Will not he give you rest2
Nearer than nearest friend can be
He comes when shadows fall
And he who gives the greatest good
Will give his blessings all.
See, other lonely ones are near
Whom you may help and tend;
Let Christ's love make you pitiful,
And each shall find his friend.

The Senate now consists of 40 Demo-

dent, David Davis of Illinois, who for
the past year has acted with the Demo-
Gratis, and voted for Hancock. The
Senate when it meets March 5, 1881, to
pass on the nominations of the new
President, will contain 25 senators who
begin new term of six years. The
seats of these 25 new members are now
occupied by IA Democrats and IL Re-

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

The Republicans Of Maine intend to have
Il full hundred speakers on the stump by the
first Of August.
General Garfield has within a few days re-
ceived more than a thousand letters and telc-
grams from ex-members of the Boys in
Blue, suggesting that the old organizations
be revived and put in working order for the
campaign.
1t is worthy of note, says the st. Louis
Gl0je Democrat, that no attack has yet been
made upon the personal character of General
Garfield by any man who served with him
in Congress and had an opportunity to know
him in daily intercourse
district in Ohio want tosend him to Congress
again.
The late Father Farrell of New York,
who left money for Catholic church for
colored people, was Republican.
The meeting of Republican leaders in New
York, on the 9Th proximo, is to be CON
ference. Gen. Garfield and Mr. Arthur are
to be invited to meet the National Commit
tee, the chairmen of the different State COM
mittees, the Congressional Committee. and
about one hundred prominent Republicans
from all parts of the country. The object of
this meeting isto bring together representative
Republicans, and have a general expression
of views, and allow the Republican candi-
dates to become acquainted with the leaders
of the party, and arrange plan for conduct
ing the campaign and making it an earnest
and vigorous one from its very beginning.
1t is matter OF current gossip in New
York that Gen. Hancock has been closeted
daily with ex-Gov. Tilden for two weeks,
and that the forthcoming letter of acceptance
will be a joint product of the Democratic
candidate and the ex-candidate of the Presi-
dency. The letter, it is said, will be a mass
of Tildenism, and nobody will be able to
recognize Gen. Hancock in a single line of
it. Gossip further remarks that there are
serious differences of opinion between Han
cock and English on several points. and par
ticularly on the greenback and tariff qucs-

The Fusion in Maine.

The Democrats of Maine have formally
and publicly acknowledged their abiect and
hopeless dependence upon the Greenbacscrs
by accepting a Greenback-Repubican as
their candidate for Governor, and by conclud-
ing a bargain for Presidential Electors.
Both parties assembled in Bangor, in June,
and II. NJ. Plaisted, all ex-Republican who
had joined the Greenbackers. was nominated
by that party. The Democrats, who had
been holding their convention as side
show to the Greenbackers, indorsed the nomi-
nation of Plaisted, and hurriedly adjourned.
The business of nominating Presidential
Electors was left to the State Committees
of both parties The result is a joint ticket
for electors. four of the nominees on which
are pledged to cast their votes for Weaver
for President of the United States. The
other three candidates are pledged to Han
cock Any man who casts this hybrid bal
lot gives four-scvenths of u vote to Weaver
and three-sevenths to Hancock. The New
York Times well says of this alliance;
"The superb soldier is to be yoIed in
with the Iowa infationist and driven
through Maine, in order that a gang Of
plundering. INSCRIPTIONS politicians may
wriggle their way once more into place
Even the pretense of honesty is flung to the
winds by the Maine Democrats, who, while
they held themselves aloof from open union
with the inflationists, maintained fair claim
to respect. They have confessed that it is
better to be in office by a surrender of prin-
ciple than not to be in office at all. And by
this sort of double-dealing, it is supposed
that the State of Maine can he carried for
one of the most corrupt political combina-
tions that ever dsgraced the country. The
men who are in the forefront of the new
fusion are the same who attempted to steal
the State last year. They are tine men who
forged and falsified election returns, or
ganized fraudulent Legislature, and brazenly
defied law and decency until, inch by inch,
they were driven out of their refuge of lies
by judicial decisions and an outraged public
sentiment. The thieving Fusionists Of 1879,
painfully conscious of their unsavory reputa-
ton, find it needfu to adopt extraordinary
tactics for 1880 They have united on q
political gambler for Governor, and they
have agreed to divide the Presidential Elec-
tors between the two gangs
