Tho Dead Child and tho Mockius Bird.

(Thc following poem II In no sense mere
fancy. On tho contrary, the strange, pa.
thetic incident II commeinorates actually 90
Cured not long ago in the neighborhood Of
Jacksonville, Florida
Once In land Of balm ana flowers,
OF rich fruit-laden Trees
Where the wild wreaths from jasmine bowen
Trail DER Floridian seaS
We marked our Jennie's footsteps run
Athwart the twinkling glade
She seemed Hebe in the sun,
ADryad in the shade.
And all day long her winsome song,
Her trebles and soft trills,
Would wave like flow, or slvery low
Die down the whispering,rills
Ono morn midmost the foliage dim
A dark gray pinion stirs;
And hark along the vine clad limb
What strange voice blends with her2
It blends with hers, which soon il stilled--
Braver the mock-birds note
Than all the strains that ever filled
The queenliest human throat!
As Jennie heard, she loved the bird,
And sought thenceforth to share
With her new favorite, dawn by dawn,
Her daintiest morning cheer.
But ah! o blight beyond our ken,
From some far feverous wild,
Brought that dark shadow feared Of men
Across the fated child
It chilled her dropping curls of brown,
1t dimmed her violet eyes,
And like an awful cloud crept down
From vague, mysterious skies.
At last one day our Jennie lay
All pulseless, pale, forlorn;
The sole sweet breath on lips of death
The futtering breath of morn.
When Just beyond the DER curtained room
(How tender. yet how strongly
Rose through the misty morning gloom
The mock-bird's sudden song.
Dear Christ! those notes of golden peal
Seem caught from heavenly spheres,
Yet through their marvellous cadence stea
Tones soft as schastened tears.
Is it IN angels voice that throbs
Within the brown birds breast,
Whose rhythmic magic scars or sobs
Above our dnrling's rest2
The fancy passed-but came once moro
When, stolen from Jennie's bed,
That eve, along the porchway floor
found our rminstrel-dead!
The fire of that transcendent strain
His life chords burned apart,
And, merged in sorrows earthlier pain,
It broke the O'erladen heart.
Maiden and bird!-the self-same grave
Their welded dust shall keep,
While the long low Floridian wave
Means arouud their place of sleep.

ALBANY, July 3.-Mr. John Theo'
dore SAKE, son Of John g. SAKE, was
buried yesterday afternoon. Only
relatives and the nearest friends were
invited to the funeral. The almost
unprecedented family misfortunes oi
the genial poet have excited univer.
sal attention. They began in 1874,
when Mr.. SAKE was q resident oi
Brooklyn. In numerical order the
deaths were as follows:
l, In 1874, Laura SAKE, the poets
youngest daughter, aged II years,
died in Brooklyn Of consumption.
II. In 1879, Sarah e. SAKE, the po.
cts eldest daughter, aged 20 years,
died at her fathers residence in
Brooklyn. Her sickness was long
and painful.
III. A year ago the poets mother
aged 81 years, died at the residence
Of her son James, in st. Albans, Vt
John G. almost worshipped her.
Nv. Last fall Sophia NJ. SAKE, the
poets wife, died Of syncope, in Brook.
lyn. She was the daughter Of Judge
Sollace of Bridgeport, vt. She was
Utterly worn out with family cares
Day after day and night after night
she had been at the bedside Of her
sick children, nor were her attentions
confined to them. Her husband had
been suffering from q painful disease
for years. His nervous system was
completely shattered: The faithful
wife gave him rnremitting care, and
literally sacrificed her life in her de-
votion to her family.
v. Two months ago, Harriet q
third daughter, aged ~ years, died Of
her fathers Brooklyn residence. She
had been suffering from pulmonary
complaint for years, and had just re
turned from the South when she
died.
vi. Within a fortnight Mrs. John
T. Sake, the poets daughter-in-law,
died died at her husbands residence
in Albany. She was daughter Of
ex-Judge Sames s. Bosworth of this
city. She was q favorite with the
poet.
VII. On June 80 the poets
son, John T. Sake, was found dead
in his bed at his home in Albany.
He had been suffering from a puImo.
nary complaint for years. The i'm
mediate cause of his death was hem
orrage of the lungs. He had evident.
ly tried to call his father, who slept
in an adjoining room, but death en-.
sued before he could make himself
heard.
Such are the facts, as gathered
from the only living child, Charles G..
Sake, of Albany. He says that his
father is a confirmed invalid. His
mind, however, is clear, and his pow
ers of analysis ore perfect. His ner
vous system is shattered. The long
train Of family misfortunes has left
him in o reflective, melancholic state,
and he rarely smiles. Hereadsn news
papers and magazines, but never puts
pen to paper. Many friends have
written him letters of sympathy.
Their kind words are appreciated,
but the sad face Of the pleasing poet
tells those about him that he is living
in remembrances of the past. A
whole nation will sympathise with
him in his distress. Y. Sun.

PLAIN TALK TO ARTHUR.
The Source Of Guiteau's Inspiration

Tile Source Of Guiteau's Inspiration
It is not too much to say, in the
first place, that if Mr.. Garfield had
not been the chief of n service in
which offices are held out as prizes to
men of much the same merit, and
much the same career as this muir
derer, he would not have been expos
ed to this attack. And while this il
beyond dispute, it is also probable
that the murderer's mad spite would
not have been screwed to the stick
ing point" if it had not been stirred
by the license that hns prevailed in
certain quarters with reference to the
president. The event, therefore, is
one which may and ought to convey
o lesson, which should teach us the
folly and wrong of the insane pur-
suit of Office which our methods Of
public employment invite, which
should show us the danger and dis.
grace of the unbridled political pas
sion aroused by these methods. In
q certain sense the act of Guiteau
was an accident, for it was entirely
out of the range of any ordinary me-
tives, but it is not inexplicaele it is
clearly of those accidents which bring
more wildly to mind the forces that
create them.
That General Arthur has been un-
true to his better self as clearly as
he has been faithless to tho demands
of the aggregate of political intelli-
gence and conscience which he, in
some some sort, represents, we have
no manner of doubt That he isable
to profit from such o demonstration
of public feeling toward him as the
crime of yesterday elected, we are
equally certain, else were its plain
statement as irrelevant as painful.
Grossly slanderous as it would be to
impute any suggestion of homicidal
intent to the men who have 80 bitterly
challenged the Presidents assertion
Of executive independence, it is not
too much to hope that the revelation
of how a weak mind may be driven
to the conception Of crime by feelings
moi remotely akin to theirs, may not
be lost ON any Of the opponents Of
the administration.
A struggle of faction which has
for its incidents charges Of bribery,
conspiracy and perjury, in which the
most scandalous imputations against
one of the chief contestants are sus-
tained by the evidence Of opponents
acting as cavesdroppers and keyhole
detectives, is but too fitting pre-
lude to attempted murder.
The morbid egotism and the in
sstiable hunger for place which have
lent that contest most Of its bitter
ness, are not qualities Of which the
vice president Of the United States
ought to be the foremost champion.

make even the most disposed TO think

Mrs. Garfleld's Marrow Escape.

During the journey Of Mrs. Gar
field to Washington there was q very
narrow escape from what might have
been fatal accident. The train that
brought Mrs. Garfield from Long
Branch consisted of an engine and
one Pullmanrcar. When within two
mi ,s OF Bowie station, sixie miles
from Washington, the pa, allel rod on
the side of the engine broke while
the wheels were making at least 25O
revolutions per minute.
The rod is a steel bar which con-
meets the wheels, and is about twelve
feet long, six inches wide and four
inches thick. As the engine contin-
ued to thunder along, although the
engineer Immediately put on the air
brakes, the broken rod bounced with
each revolution Of the wheels, tore up
ties, and considerably damaged that
side of the engine. This continued
for about two miles before q stop
could be effected, SO great a head
way had been acquired. An eye wit
ness states that as the train few by
Bowie station, the splinters of shat
tered ties filed the air. Had the en-
gine left the track, the Pullman car
would have been splintered into kind
ling wood, and all on board killed.
engine was sent out from
Washington, and Mrs. Gar6eld's car
was brought to the city.
The accident delayed the arrival
Of the party about half an hour. The
railroad men say it is almost a mira
Gle that the engine did not jump the
track, and then all on board would
have been instantly killed
