AN EMPERoR's LAUGH 1t was
the night before the battle of Waterloo.
Napoleon, wrapped up in military
cloak, was passing to and fro before
his tert. A number Of officers, gilt
tering in gilded fnery, were seated
around some burning logs near by,
engaged 10 conversation They had
laid out before them several maps,
and on a small table close at hand
was placed writing apparatus, to
which, now and then, one or another
of the officers would resort, take up
pen and throw it down again, unable,
apparently, to put on paper that which
was 80 readily conceived in the mind,
The Emperor's movements were
quick, and his step firm. There was
something in his lofty bearing of his
majesty; in the broad, expansive fore
head, and the keen, penetrating eye,
which could not escape the notice Of
any one. You might strip him Of
every outward pomp, but still the body
and soul Of greatness would remain.
Reader, imagine yourself for a mo
ment in the situation we have endeav-
ored to place you on that eventful
eve. Night had thrown its mantsl
over the earth, and in sleep rests many
a tired mortal. The conqueriug army
ofNapoleon, having cast aside the
engines Of terror and shielded the
sword in the scsbbard, are deep 10
sleep. The distant tramp Of the SEN
tinel; the broken, uneven conversation
Of the officers around the FIRE, and the
intermediate ceilings of a dog hard
by, alone disturb the quiet of the
place. The pale moon shadows forth
1t intervals through the dark mass of
clouds a trembling and uncertain
light, which gives to the periods Of
its obscurity a sombre character more
than real.
Stand, now, till the morn breaks
through those ponderous piles of va
por, and then we will consider more
closely the movements Of the En-
peror.
There! he has thrown Of his cloak.
Observe the knitted brow, the restless,
half-dissasisfied glance he casts to-
ward the group around the Gre But
stopl who comes here7 All! it is one
Of his attendants He speaks--he re
turns, and Napoleon is again alone.
With his face turned toward the
field of Waterloo, and his arms folded
across his breast, the mighty conquer
er becomes absorbed in thought.
The last struggling officer had be-
taken himself to the coverings Of his
tent, and all now is wrapped up in
death-like silence. With this favor
able opportunity we will take the
reader by the hand and lead him to
short distance behind two or three
field pieces, which have been put in
order for to inorrow's deadly work
But bark!
"The dog won't venture out; he's
too cunning, let me tell you."
aHush, you fool-hush-there's
time enoughw
"Hush, did you say? And pray who
are you, Mr.. Spattergowl, that"
"Who am I? TIL let you know, if
you don't hold your tongue. Hushl I
say; hush! be still, every one of youl

THE FARMERS SEVENTY YEARS

THE FARMERS SEVENTY YEARS.
All, there he is, lad, at the plough;
He beats the boys for work,
And whatsoe'er the task might be,
None ever saw him shirk.
And he can laugh, too, till his eyes
Kun O'er with mirthful tears,
And sing full many an old-time song
In spite of seventy years.
Time for a half-hour's rest.'
And farmer John took out his lunch
And ate 1t with zest.
"A harder task 1t fs,'' he said,
Than following up these steers
Or mending fences, far, for me
To feel my seventy years.
You ask me why feel so young;
Pm sure, friends, can't tell,
But think 1t Is my good wife's fault
Who's kept me up so well;
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears;
She's given me love and hope and strength
For more than forty years.
And then, my boys have all done well,
As far as they have gone,
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up and on.
My girls have never caused pang,
Then wonder not that feel young
And hale at seventy years.
why don't my good boys do my work
And let me sit and rest?
All! trends, that wouldn't do for me;
like my own way best.
They have their duty: have mine;
And till the end appears,
mean to smell the soil. my friends,''
Said the man of seventy years.

BOOkWalter'S Nomination


The spectacle of man whose very
name six months ago was unknown
outside Of the city Of Springfield, who
never held any public position what
ever, and who possesses not one single
element either Of a statesman or a
public man-the spectacle of such a
person hiring a couple of brass bands,
decking out lot of young rapscallions
with badges, railroad passes and din
ner tickets, and sending his agents
over to Columbus where they openly,
shamelessly and unblushingly bought
up delegates with money-the specta-
Gle OF such a person securing nomi-
nation to the high office Of Governor
by such means, is one of the saddest
and most sinister of all the sad and
sinister sights recently exhibited.
Shameless and debased as the DEM
ocratic party had become, even its
enemies would not beforehand have
charged it with so shameless deed as
it has just committed. And what is
still worse about the matter is that
the men who manipulated the Con-
vention so as to secure this monstrous
result, were handful of impudent
and brazen fellows, without conscience,
principle or character.
The only consolation left us is, that
although great and once respectable
party can through its representatives
be thus bought and sold, its individual
members are not all lost to the sense
either of honor or shame; and many
of them will repudiate the vile trans
action, and join in bringing about the
overwhelming victory with which the
people will next fall rebuke and crush
this corrupt and sinister candidacy.
