looms up like phantom. 1t is safe
to say if democratic congressman
from the west voice the sentiment of
those behind him that before the
change of another moon the Mcdonald
boom will be entirely eclipsed by the
demand for Morrison. 1t was Nor
riSon who won Carlisle's battle for
him. He has always been a revenue
reformer in the most positive sense
the word implies. Hence one hears
that if revenue reform is to be the
shibboleth of the next campaign Nor
rson is the man to lead. The eastern
democrats say he cannot be elected,
but those who have control of the
house of representatives now declare
purpose to try to win victory with
the south and west and with western
man.

the dim morning light he appeared to
more advantage than when seen IN
the dock. with his short but firm, we'll
knit figure, firm and erect, and
his manly countenance pale but
determined. Once on the scat
fold the hangman guided
Poole directly under the beam, and,
placing the moose in position, moved
rapidly to the lever Ia the corner.
An instant later
THE BOLT WAS DRAWN,
the victim disappeared, and the rope
ierked and shook .iolently, indicat-
ing that struggle was going on be-
meath. In little while all was quiet,
and the career of Joseph Poole had
ended The black flag was run up as
soon as the trap gave way, and
the watchful crowd out side the
walls gave vent to a wailing cry.
The men mumbled prayers and the
women crossed themselves again and
agein. Some of Tia, latter. more fer
vent than the rest, fell upon their
knees. Soon, however, they quietly
began to disperse as the weather was
damp and drilling.
Poole's bearing while approaching
and standing on the scatfold was firm
and very dignihed. He asked the
prison chaplain to be allowed to kiss
the crucitix. and the request was
granted The drop was seven feet.
The victims struggles lasted but Il few
seconds.

On Marriage.

How high the bliss that waits on welded love,
Best, purest emblem, of the bliss above;
or one fond heart, to be the slave and lord,
Bless, and be blessed; adore, and be adored;
To draw fresh raptures from arother's Joy,
TO share each grief, and half its sting destroy;
TO own the link OF soul, the charm of mind,
Sublimest friendship, passion most refined;
Passion, till LIES last evening hour still warm,
And friendship brightest, in the darkest storm.

Like the translated patriarch of old;
Though gladdeEed millions On His fOOtStOOl trOd,l
Yet none with Him did such sweet converse hold
1heard the wind in low complaint go by,
That none It's melodies like Him could hear:
Day unto day, spoke wisdom from on high,
Yet none like David turned a willing ear;
Goa walked alone, unhOnOred through the earth:
For Him no heart-built temple open stood;
The soul, rorgetfui OF her nObler birth,
Had hewn Him lofty shrines OF stone and wood,
And left unfinished and in ruins still
The only temple He delights to fill.

Are the Children Home.

Each day, when the glow OF sunset
Fades In the western sky,
And the wee ones, tired OF playing,
Go tripping lightly by.
/ steal away from my husband,
Asleep In the easy chair,
And watch from the open doorway
Their faces fresh and fair.
Alone in the dear old homestead
That once was full Of life,
Fun OF g1rlish laughter,
Echo1ng With boyish strife,
we, too, are waiting together;
And oft as the shadows come,
With tremulous voice, he calls me:
at Is night, are the children homer"

They're all home long ago."
And sing in my quivering treble,
A song so soft and low,
TIN the old man drops to slumoer.
With his head upon his hand,
And tell to myself the number
At home in the better land.
Home. where never sorrow
Shall dim their eyes with tears,
Where the smile OF God Is on them
Through all the summer years.

That fC n lily folded seven;
And the mother heart within me,
Is Almost starved for heaven.
Sometimes in the dusk OF evening
l only shut my eyes,
And the children are all about me
A vision from the skies;
The babes who sc dimple fingers
Lost the way to my breast,
And the beautiful ones, the angels.
Passed to the world OF the blest,
A breath, and the vision Is lifted
Away on the wings OF light,
AND again we two are together,
All alone In the night.
They tell me his mind Is falling,
But smile at idle fears;
He Is only back with the children.
In the dear and peaceful years.
And still as the summer sunset
Fades away In the west,
AND the wee ones, tired OF playing.

The Unexpected Visitor.

From the Philadelphia Times
The White House pageant for the day,
With rank and precedence and form,
UsurpS, upon this New Years morn,
The peoples equal, hospftable way.
But note this prophecy OF woe,
For as In military funeral rite,
The first go last, the left is right,
So here the sovereign over all, the people, last
must go.
But ere the people take the floor,
Though public servants whom they pay
March on before in grand array,
An unexpected visitor strides through the door,
The ushers hold their bated breath,
His name is not upon their slate
OF rank, and precedence and state,
The visitor iS-Death.
