The Simple Truth.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And the day and night are the same as
one.
The year grows green and the year grows
brown.
And what is it all when all is done?
Grains of sombre or shining sand,
Gliding into and out of the hand?
The fisher drops his net in the stream,
And a hundred streams are the same as
one,
And the maiden dreams her ~love-lit dream,
And what is it all when all is done?
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And the dreaming dreamer always wakes.

The tide comes in and the tide goes out,
And a hundred tide are the same as one.
f r who can say what I'm writing about,
And what is it all when all is done?
But dippingmy pen in the ink, and then?
Oh! nothing but taking it out again.
For people must read a great deal Of rot,
(And rubbish and rot are the same as one);
They may as we'll read what | write. Why
not?
But what is it all when all is done
Some lines of type, and a metre rough,
And not an idea in the whole OF the
stuff.

A large party of Brooklyn Democratic
leaders, headed by Judge Calvin f. Pratt,
visited Gen. Hancock the other day to pay
their compliments. Conversation, after a
while, took a political turn, when it was
asked If Gen. Hancock was receiving en-
couraging reports from the canvass in va
rious parts Of the country. Reports re-
ceived," said the General, ARE very en-
couraging. Nevertheless, although the
outlook is bright it behooves us to work IN
order to achieve success. One person re-
lated d conversation with a well known
Philadelphia politician, in which the gen
tleman said that Pennsylvania was sure for
Hancock. There ought remarked Gen.
Hancock. sto be no trouble about Pennsyl-
yania. | had a conversation this morning
with an artist who has been down in the
country where | was born, making a sketch
| of the house of my mother. He says that
| almost every one be met would vote for me,
Republicans as we'll as Democrats. 1t this
| be true it shows a desire on the part Of the
people for a change. [ am of the opinion
that the people OF this country are DESTROYS
of a change in the administration, but they
want a man on the watch-tOwer who will see
to it that there shall be no interference with
what has been accomplished in the past? =
"With YOU, General" was remarked, the
| DdSC Is ScCuTC. lCS. ICpIICo liz gu
eral, the past is secure. II it were not 50,
of what avail would our war have BEEN
Conversation then drifted to the charges
that Gen. Hancock engaged in a conspiracy
to seat S. j. Tilden in the white house after
he had been elected president. whether
I wrote the letter to Gen. Sherman on the
subject of the electoral contest l shall not
say said Hancock; "but," he added ear
nestly, my position in regard to that mat
ter was well understood at the time and has
not changed since. l am of opinion that
Grants term as president ended at midnight
of March 3. After that | should have paid
No more attention to him officially than |
would to the man in the moon. The
houses of congress alone had power to count
the electoral vote, and declare the result,
and they were the constituted authority.
My position on this question can not bt
open to misconstruction. Any thing | may
have written to Sherman or any one elSt
concerning it is at the disposal Of the pub
lie. l am not ashamed OF my views regard
ing the electoral contest, aud still adhere t
them.
