THE Democrats are drawing much
consolation from the nomination of st.
John as the Prohibition candidate for
the Presidency. They think he may
draw enough votes from Blaine in sew
eral of the close States to elect Cleye-
land. This Is on the presumption that a
large majority of the ProhibitioniSts are
Republicans, and that such of them as
are Democrats know enough not to throw
away their vote op hopeless candidate
in Presidential year. The Democrats
apparently do not expect to win on the
strength of their own candidates and
platform. They are looking for outside
help-tO the Pharisees of New England
and New York, who are holier than or
binary Republicans, to reduce Blaine's
strength in the East and to St. John and
the Prohibitionists to reduce, if not
altogether destroy, his majorities in the
West.

IN their eagerness to injure Mr.. Blaine
his opponents simply make themselves
ridiculous. Only short time ago they
vehemently asserted that he was Ro-
man Catholic. This was done for the
purpose Of exciting Protestant prejudice
against him. The game was found to be
not w0r:h the candle. Now they have
changed their tactics, and, under the lead
OF the New York Herald, assert that
Blaine was an ardent Know-Nothing
away back in the past, and appeal to
Catholics to accomplish his defeat. That
sort of thing is played out. All attempts
to lug religion into the canvass will fail.
The IrishAmericans, the mass of whom
are Catholics, declare that they do not
care straw what Mr.. Blaine's religious
views may be. The ground of their
support is their hatred of England, their
liking for the man, and a belief that his
election will insure full protection to
American citizens when domiciled or
travelling abroad. The charge of the
Herald Is about on a par with that of
Plaisted, of Maine, who declared shat
Blaine had published an anti-Cathelic
circular to help his, Plaisted's, election
to Congress, when, in fact, Plaisted and
not Blaine, was at the bottom of the
whole ething.-Clevelsnd Leader.

THE COUNTRY sCROOLHOUSE.

The schoolhouse stood beside the way,
A shabby building, old and gray,
With rattling sash and loose hung door,
And rOngh, uneven walls and floor;
And why the little hOmeSpun crew
1t gathered were some way more blest
Than others, you would scarce have
guessed;
Itis 8 secret known to few.
I'll tell it you. The high road lay
Stretched all along the township hill,
Whence the broad lands sloped either
way,
And smiling up did strive to fill
At every window, every door,
The schOOlhouse with that gracious lore
That Gods fair world would fain instn.
So softly. quietly it came,
The children never knew its name;
Its various unobtrusive looks,
They counted not as study books;
And yet they could net lift an eye
From play or labor dreamily,
And not find writ In sweetest speech,
The tender lessons it wsuld teach:
BE gentle children, brave and true,
And know the great God loveth you"
Only the teacher, wise of heart,
OWNED the landscapes blessed art;
And when she felt the lag and stir
OF the young ldlers 'fretting her,
Out-glancing Ger the meadows wide,
The rutfiing woods, the far hillside,
She drew fresh breath of Gods free
grace,
A gentler came In her face,
Her kindly voice caught in its own
An ecdo of that pleasant tone
In which the great world sang its song
BE cheerful, patient, still and strong"
