FRUITS AND FLOWERS.
BIZ JOHN o. WHIT rrFa.

oh, Painter of the fruits and flowers,
We own Thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands Of ours
May share the work Of Thine!
Apart from Thee we plant in vain
The root and BOW the seed :;
Thy early and Thy later rain,
Thy sun and dew we need.
Our toll is sweet with thankfuiness,
Our burden is our boon;
The curse Of earth's gray morningis
The blessing OF its noon.
Why search the wide word everywhere
For Eden's unknown groundf
That garden of the primal pair
May never more be found.
But, best by Thee, cur patient toll
My right the ancient wrong,
And give 10 every cline and soil
The beauty lost SO long.
Our homestead flowers and truited trees
May Eden's orchard shame:
We taste the tempting sweets Of these
Like Eve, without her blame.
And, north and south and east and west,
The pride of every zone,
The fairest, rarest and the best
May ali be made our own.
Its ear lest shrines the young world sough
IN hill-groves and in bowers:
The httest offerings thither brought
Were thy own fruits and flowers.
And still with reverent hands we Gull
Thy gifts each year renewed;
The good is always beautiful
The beautiful lie good.

Shall We shOot-the Deserters :
philadelphia Press

A jealous Republican writes to us
objecting to the declaration;tha those
who parted company with the main
body in the recent election are Just as
true Republicans as those who accepted
the regular banner.
But, taking the rank and file, ism t
it true? Can we as prudent Republi-
cans, who want TO restore the party,
safely act upon any other theory =?
Can we wisely rule out all the Repub-
licans who refuse to vote for the regu-
lar ticket? Can we ostracize the two
hundred thousand Republicans in
New York who either voted for Cleve-
land or staid at home? Can we de-
cline all fellowship with the fifty
thousand Republicans in thisS State
who voted for Stewart, or the tens Of
thousands of others who voted for
Pattison? Ifso, low are we going to
make our party majority again?
We my think that the cause OF these
Republicans was all wrong; we may
fesiithat they were not warranted even
from their own stand-point; but that
doesn't alter the fact;sthat we need
their votes, There are two paths open
before MS. We can come together on
a fair and honorable basis of union
which shall recognize ali Republicans
as standing on an equal footing, and
thus become once more victorious
party; or we can declare war against all
who have differed with us in this cam
paign, and so go on from defeat to de-
feat! Can there be any doubt as to
the policy which sensible men will
urge and sustain?
In cooled moment our friend will
not allow his feelings to prevail over
his Judgment. We want the Republi-
can party to recover its ascendancy;
so does he. The rational way is to
take the facts as we find them, and
make the best of them. Taking the
country through, more chan q million
Republicans were missing from the
lines at the recent election. Are we
going to win again by shooting them
all as deserters?

How A. ID. White Reads the Late
Elections.
New York Sun.1

Syracuse, Nov. 14.-The Hon.
Andrew ID. White delivered an address
before the Civil Service Reform Asso.
citation in Shakespeare Hall to night.
He said that previous to the recent
election he had sstravelled extensively
through New York State, and from
conversations had with many citizens
he was convinced that the people of
New York State, would overwhelm-
ingly rcbuke at the ballot box Federal
in Ter rerence in State politicssand the
fraud and forgery tactics practised at
Saratoga. The sspoils system, which
was ut the root OF political evil, he de-
clared was invented by Aaron Burr.
1t was denounced vigorously by John
c. Calhoun, and public attention was
directed against it, but other and
graVer issues, such as the abolition OF
slavery, the civil war reconstruction
and reconciliation, had detracted at
tention from it. Now it bids fair to be
the main question to be considered
and disposed of by the peop'e. Mr..
White declares that the spoils system
was the main cause of Republican de-
feat in Ohio and in other States which
had since held elections. For his own
part, he declared that he should hence
forth consider that Democrat who
stood upon a civil service reform plat
form a better Republican than the Re,
publican who ignored that platform.
