NOT QUITE THE SANE.


Not quite the same the springtiDie seems to me
Since that sad season when III separate ways
Our paths diycrged. There are no more such
Z. days
As dawned for MS in that last time when we
Bwelt IN the realm of dreams, Elusive dreams.
Spring may be just as fair now, but it seems
Notquite the same
Not quite the same IS life since we two parted,
Knowing IL best to go our ways alone
Fair measures of success we both have
known.
And pleasant hours; and yet something de-
parted
Which gold. nor fame, nor anything we win,
Can all replace. And either life has been
Not quite the same.
Love ia not quito the same, although each
heart
Has formed new ties that are both sweet and
true:
But that Wild rapture which Of old we knew
Seems To have been something set apart
Wnh that last dream. There Is no passion,
now,
Mixed with this later love, which seems, some
how,
Not quite the same.
Not quite the same am T. My inner being
Reasons and knows that all is for the best
But OH the unstiled yearnng i'm my breast,
smy souls eyes turn ever backward, seeing
The vanished self, that ever more must be,
This side of what we call eternity,
Not quite the same.

A Tribute to a Genuine Statesman.

If Tildcn is living in 1884 and retains
his present vigor and clearness of intel
lect he would make most difficult can
didate to defeat. Nothing defeated
Hancock but his tariff letter and talk,
and Tilden to-day has no formidable
Kelly faction to fight; Kelly and his
their numbers are no longer dangerous.
People who fondly imagine that Tilden
is finally retired from National politics
may rest assured that nothing but
death or complete paralysis will ever
extinguish the activity Of that able.
alert. aspiring man.
Furthermore, if the Nation is fated to
have a Democratic President, Tllden
would be the most acceptable man in
his party. He is sound on finance. and
is not only the ablest, but the most in
dependent and self-reliant, of all the
Democratic statesmen; and his views on
all questions are clear, vigorous and
well defined. He would not be run by
his chums, for he never had any; he
would not be run by the leaders of his
party, for he never leaned on them, nor
gave them his confidence before battle,
and he would not be likely to on the
heels of victory. Whether his Admin
istration were for good or for evil, he
alone would be its engineer and archi-
tect; his instruments have always been
obscure men whose position and abili-
ties gave him no cause for apprehension
that they would be able to use him as
ladder or fatally betray him to his COM
petitors for the first place in the party.
Tilden, therefore, would, by native
character, long habit, and favorable
circumstances, be easily q President
quite as Independent of the dictation or
influence of his party leaders as any
man since jackson. Nothing but death
or complete paralysis, we repeat, win
count him out of the list of candidates
in 1884, and if he is candidate he will
give us more desperate wrestle that
we have known since the foundation of
the Republican party.
Let us not imagine that Tilden is yet
on the retired list of National politics;
he is about as lively and astute . leader
as the Democracy includes to-day.-Rut-
land ( VI. Herald REP J.

Mrs. Resolve had evidently read that

his throat. Then he removed the ban

woman's Romance in a Nutshell.

He was introduced to her at ball;
she danced with him and forgot him.
She met him again at q reception,
was reintroduced, and remembered she
had seen him before. Where? She
knew not. Yet for some moments his
arm had been around her slender waist.
At the reception she talked with him,
and found him dull. She looked at him.
He might be called handsome, but was
awkward. When he sat down he was
prone to sprawl. He stood with his
head forward and stumbled ungracefully
in his walk. She flushed with annoy
ance, left him, and went into the con-
servatory with a man more to her taste.
She found him one evening at the
house of friend. She conversed easily
on topics of general interest. He sat in
chair too low for him, and his feet were
painfully apparent. She disdainfully
turned her shoulder toward him. Pres
emily she rose to go, and dropped her
handkerchief. He bent lightly forward
and caught it up, almost before it
touched the carpet. As an intimate
friend at the house he prepared to see
her home. He arranged her cloak with
eager Difference, and she smiled. He
trampled on her skirt as she passed out
of the door, and she frowned.
They arrived at her gate; he pushed
itopen, took off his hat, and almost ran
away.
One day she was coming home from
shopping expedition with small parcel
in her hand. He came up with her,
bowed awkwardly. blushed and asked if
he might take her parcel. He did not
say much, but listened in adoring silence.
When he left her she laughed and said
he was intolerably stupid, yet not a bore.
Pretty soon he began to call often, and
attended her to the opera and theater
when she would permit him. He was
always near her, and anxions to be of
service. He was manly, and among men
. favorite. He rode well, but danced
indiferently. The other girls laughed at
him, but he did not heedit. She danced
perfectly, was talkative, daring, impul-
sive.
She snuhbed him. and shook him of
for more accomplished men.
He finally said he loved her. She
laughed, said Impossible" tormented
him, neglected him, refused more eligi-
BILE suitors, and finally married him and
adored him for all time.

Don't Know How to Die.

TWAS said of Napoleon's old guard
that they knew how to die. but did not
know how to surrender. The Grant
Guard do not know how to die. They
still live, and will continue to survive as
long as there is cob of corn left in the
public crib.
The handsome thing has been done
for Effigy Sargent, for the ancient Taft,
for Biographer Badeau, for Fish, for
Francis, for Dayton, and for others.
They are to ornament the diplomatic
body in foreign lands and to illustrate
the glory of Grantism.
But several of the shining lights that
adorned the two terms of the expectant
third-termer have not been provided
for, and they are on the anxious seat.
Belknap is yet to be booked. Babcock
wants to be INDICATED by higher place
than the one he now holds. Boss Shop
herd longs to return to the scenes of his
former greatness. Landaulct Williams
sees the Senatorship in Oregon fade
away by the veto of the Chinese bill and
the votes of Republican Senators, and
therefore wants mission or something
cheerful to console his heart.
If Badeau and Sargent and Taft and
the like have got soft places for their
loyalty to the third-term candidate, why
should not Belknap, with whom Grant
regretted to part COMPANY, and Bah
cock, whom he saved from the peniten-
tiary, and Williams, whom he tried to
make ChiefJustice,. and Boss Shepherd,
whom he made Governor, be taken care
OF? That is the question of questions,
