Iput my flower OF song into thy hand,
And turn my eyes away
1t is flower from most desolate land,
barron OF sun and day,
Even this lite OF mine.
AS two who meet upon a foreign strand,
TWAS mine with thee TO stray
put this flower of song into thy hand
And turn my eyes away.
And look where no lights shine.
BY phantom wings this desolate air seems
famed,
Where sky and sea show grey,
And turn my eyes away,
But to no other shrine.
My hopes are like a little Christian band
The heather came to Stay
Iput this flower Of song into thy hand
And turn my eyes away
Some day, it may be. thou by me shalt stand
AND mo Ssa ps thy hand
Shalt turn thine eyes away,
We part at Fate MEMORABLE command,
We part to meet no day
put my flower Of song Into thy hand,
And turn my eyes away
These eyes that long for thine.
Thy way leads summerwards-thy paths are
BY boashs where spring winds play
i put my flower of song into thy hand
To Life's dark boundary line.
Fair are thy groves-thy fields are bright and
bland,
Where evil has no sway
/ put my flower of song into thy hand
And turn my eyes away
To meet Fatese eyes, malign.
Sometimes, when twilight holds and fills the
land,
And glad souls are less gay,
Take thou this song-fower In thy tender hand
Nor turn thine eyes away,
There in the days decline.
My life lies dark before me-all unplanned-
Loud winds assail the day
/ leave my song-fiower folded in thy hand,
And turn my eyes away,
And turn my life from thine.

strate. His mind did not participate or
cooperate in the demonstration"
Thus we find everywhere in the South,
in Alabama as in South Carolina, the
Democratic party defending notorious
frauds in elections and waging a guer-
rilla warfare upon the constitutional
amendments. The frauds in South Caro-
lima, Mississippi, Alabama, and elsewhere
throughout the South, committed more
than sixteen months ago, have not yet
been punished. They have been exposed
to the House and the country, but the
beneliciaries of them still hold their seats
upon fraudulent ballots. How long oh
Lord, how long shall these crimes against
free government remain unpublished?

We have thus reviewed the relations
of Republicanism to Bourbonism and
Liberalism for the purpose Of setting Re-
publicans ut the North, in and out of
Congress, thinking of the possibilities of
the future. The North is not solid The
South will divide or not, according to
the interest shown in that direction by
Nothern Republicans. Atpresent we see
few signs of life in the party, save when
Republicans batter each other down at
the doorways Of Republican conventions.
If no heed is paid by those who should
be party leaders to the political situation
in the South the opportunity will rapidly
slip away, never to return to the Repub-
ican party. The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
has seen the correctness Of its views on
this momentous subject proven in Vir-
ginia. 1t will continue to cry out in the
wilderness of indiiierentism, whether it
is heard or not.
