BESIDE THE SEA.

A little blossom by the sea,
All tempeSt-torn looked up TO me,
And shook It's bright head smilinsly:
'I will love, Twill live
And be glad in the world,
Tho the sweetest part be gone.
The stone WAS cold, the sea waves beat
In endless surge about its feet,
But still I heard the winds repeat:
81 will love, will live
And be glad in the world,
Tho the sweetest part be gone.
Beside the sea, the barren sea,
Tho beats my heart rebelliously,
I breathe, oh, life, song to thee:
II will love, I will live
Aud be glad in the world,
Tho the sweetest part be gone"

The Republican press is at q loss for
campaign matter, when the old exploded
outrages have to be rehashed. 1t is q
confession of weakness. and instead of
helping the Republican cause will disgust
all sensible people. It is singular fact
that. thus far, not single charge brought
against Gen. Hancock has been proven
the imprint of falsehood was so plain in
most cases as to be passed without notice.
and now with nothing else on hand. the Sur
raft charges are renewed. Partisan zeal
can overreach sometimes, and 10 this case
the Republican press has shown its ability
to slop over. 1t is not necessary for Gen
Hancock to deny these accusations the
denial has already been made by those
who were in position to know their truth
or falsity, and that voluntarily too. The
letter of Father Walter, who attended
Mrs. Surra.t at her death, and who admir-
istered the consolation of religlon-ought
to be sufficient denial-and supplemented
by Bishop Keane's letter-all unask-
asked too. shows that Gen. Hancock is no
likely to be injured by the silly utterances
of bigoted parsisans, who seek to lessen
his popularity by misrepresenting the
facts.

Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian. Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first APP
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:--When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. l used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried its realities
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. | used a bottle
day for ten days The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how I
have been, / will say, when commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
was reduced to q mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
I used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. l now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-flve
pounds in flesh. But [ must tell you it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
Gems of Adrian will testify to the truth Of
my statements.

TOO MUCH FAITH.


Travelling ON one of our railroads, little
four-year-od lump of boy humanity kept
his father and mother in state of chronic
6dgets by continually thrusting his head
out of the window to explore the outer
world. AL circumstances and threats were
unavaiing. Finally bright idea struck the
father.
- Fred, Fred, he said, "keep your head
In or the wind viii take your hat" And in
order to frighten the little one he slyly
slipped the hat off his head and con-
cealed it. As soon as this had been done,
the child began crying and could not be
appeased. Finally pGter .tamilias told him
TO look in an opposite direction aud he would
whistle the hat back again-all of which was
very neatly done, and the happy parents
settled back in their seats and began to con-
verse very pleasantly, thinking that they
had cured little Freddie. But not SO, for in
q very short time he seemed to brighten up
suddenly, and away he sent his hat through
the car window, shouting, as it disappeared,
Papa, whistle againI"

aKILLFUL BRIBERY.

A subtle kind of electioneering stratagem
MAS that practiced successfully by Cochrane,
the gallant Dundonald, when he first re-
solved ON getting into Parliament He had
come home from one of his cruises with Q
good deal of prize money. He stood for
Houiton, and he announced that he would
not bribe. 1t was almost needless to say
that he was not elected He had, indeed,
but few voters. When the contest was
over, he sent for the few who had voted for
him, declared that they must not suffer by
DIR political integrity, and rewarded their
virtues by giving them each twice as much
- they would have got if they had sold their
votes. Not long afterward there was a new
vacancy and another election. Cochrans
stood again, and announced, as before, that
he would not give any bribes. This an
nouncement did mot deter even the most
venal from rushing to the polls for Coch-
nne. OF course, when the election was
