WAITING.

Waiting, quietly waiting.
To hear his step at the door;
Starting at every murmur,
Striving to rest once more:
Shilling her hearts wild beating,
With hands olasped over her breast,
Praying for peace and patience
Patience, and peace, and rest.
Long are the hours of daylight
Weary, and dull. and long;
Life's work seemeth burden
flushed is her lutte. her song;
Waiting, forever waiting.
For day to fade in the sky;
Waiting for nights dark shadow,
Which bringeth the loved ono nigh.
Waiting with painful longing.
To lay his head on her heart;
Waiting. though knowing always
That they must forever part,
Powerless, now. to resist it. ..r
The love which unbidden has grown,
Like ivy, creeping and clinging,
In love round the granite stone.
Waiting. without an effort,
To cast his image afar;
Looking to him as trav'lers
Look to the evening star.
Waiting, though knowing tomorrow
Will sever them-yes, for aye
But waiting and hoping aud wishing
To See him once more to-day.

@The overwhelmingly Republican
constituency in Ohio which sent Mr..
Giddings to Washington for ,weIl-nigh
of century has sent General
Garfield to sit in Giddlngs's seat ever
since 1853. Where two-.hirds of the
voters are of one political faith 1t is
difficult to work the minority up to an
active canvass, but at the same time in
such constituency if the local candi-
date is really popular or highly respect
ed he will infallibly get some votes from
independent or antagonistic electors who
may vote against the rest of his party
on the general issue. 1t Is worthy Of re-
marks therefore, that at no one Of the
nine elections at which Mr. Garfield has
been candidate has his vote in the
lcounties comprised in bis Congressional
district come up to that cast. for the Re-
publican nominee for Secretary of State
He has invariably run behind his ticket,
though often the margin has been a
small one. In 1852 Ashtabula, G Geauga,
Mahonine, Portage and Trumbull gave
him 13, ,2S8 and Kennon 1882; in 1864
ne had lS,0S6 and Smith Is, ,225; in 1866
