Upon the sheet of water, shining white
with burning heat all DER its CLASSY face.
Upon the-beach bleachsd bones lay scorchirg bright.

while eircling round her white winged sea-guIs hy
Lower and lower, where white lilies smile
To pale sea grasses nodding mournfully.
And now, white clouds appear hecked in the sky,
To dim the intense glare of dazzling light.
I close my eyes to rest; when next I look
Rhc white wan moon has put the day TO fight.
The shadows come and goa white procession
Filing thro the dim light of the dead,
Where cold, dull sleep o'ertook their hurrying feet,
And gave them pllowed rest on seaFbloom's bed.
And one roamed eeaseless to and fro the strand
In garments trailing past like snow fakes light.
White roses lay within her cold white hand,
And pearls upon her neck-aH white, white, white.

The lives that waited dumb thro' patient woe;
Whose earth-stained robes were purified by Him,
When whiteipped death kissed cheeks as white as

A sense of heaviness filed all the air;
felt as If weighed down with burdened sleep,
I turned my eyes, half fearing still to see
Some presence Of the restless ghost like deep.
Within a vases bunch of popies white,
Whose fraa and silken leaves IN languor seem
To drowse and drown Intoxicating balm,
Tells me what wiled my brain into this dream.

A YOUNG lady writes to these Top

flush that [ see so many apparent
jokes about in the papers ?" Dear lit
tie girl, bobtail flush, technically is
hand at poker where a player has
four cards of one suit. Five of a suit
make flush, hand upon which most
any young man of your acquaintance
would bet dollar and thirty five
cents. But bobtail is no good if
the other man signifies his desire to
see 1T. But men hold bobtail fushes
in many other things than poker.
When young fellow has girl who
eats his ice cream, goes to dances,
opera and picnics with him, smiles on
him, purrs at him and bleeds him of
all his salary, only to tell him "No'' at
the important moment, that young fell
low may be said to have held bob
tail flush. When man concludes
he will 60 into politics, and the ward
managers tell him it's all right, and

held bobtail flush.
When young woman thinks it is
nice to CAD about and flirt and be free
with strangers and take no notice of
the solid and industrious young man
who is struck with her, and the years
go by and the wrinkles begin to come
and she has the heartache and be-
comes a hopeless old maid-she has
simply held a bobtail flush.
When a man works like a slave,
boards his money, scorns the poor,
worships God with lip service, is a
pillar of society all his life, closes his
heart against the true grace which
make it soft and tender and loving,
keeps the letter of the law and not |

. .'Why, no. Blaine is so thoroughly known to
those people and has so often been before them
in election times that they consider him regu-
lar business quantity in the State. But you can
see Blaine's influence when he goes to one OF
their meetings or congregations. He will come
into the room in perfectly plain; easy way, and
speak to here and there, and in a little
while you will see very singular kind OF conf
dence in him, Indeed, that is one Of the most
remarkable States in the Union. Every man
you meet in the State of Maine isa sort Of little
republic in himself. Hamilton is the great rep
resentative man of Maine. Frye has been very
close to Blaine IN this campaign, butt have not
seen much of Hale

He does. He is not the man to lie down IN

is going to be elected. His reputation outside OF

While Mr. Crawford was talking, Mr.. Larned,

the story Of his birth and death. That story
never made Democrat In the pranks of the
play ground the name sllences the frolicsome
and makes the jolliest grave. The name never
made Democrat In the pictures that light up
the geography are the firing on Fort Sumter

that and ever after avows himself Democrat.
In the higher grades the same subtle and un-
resisted influence is at work. The textbook
contains extracts from patriots speeches during
the war Those speeches make no Democrats.
The great battles are briefly described, the mar
rative has no Democratic listeners. The strain
of martial music runs through the readers, and
that music makes no Democrats Sketches Of
the great generals are given the brave deeds

Democrat among them The horrors and suffer

Democratic party, and has bounded it to its
death. Therefore, let it die; and no lip will be
found to say prayer over the grass on its
grave.
The late defeat need not be attributed to any
other causes. The result was accomplished
because the youths of the Republic are not Demo-
cratic. That party is therefore without future
and without a hope. The malediction of the
war has palsied its brain. The curse of slavery
has poisoned its blood and rotted its bone. Let

LET DEMOCRACY DIE.
Reasons why the Old Bourbon Party Can

Reasons why the Old Bourbon Party Can
Never Win National Victory.
Chicago Times, after Presidential Election of 1880.
The recent presidential election has shown
that there is an invincible reason why the Dem
ocratc party can never win national victory
It is that the youths of this Republic are not
Democratic. The sons of Democratic fathers
have grown up Republicans So long as slavery
and the war linger with the memory of Ameri-
cans the youths of the Republic will continue to
grow up Republicans, and slavery and the war
win be remembered as long as the public school
system exists. The public schools have slain
the Democratic party with the textbooks. 1t is
vain for statesmen to declare that there were as
many Democrats as Republicans in the Union
army. 1t is vain to affirm that the war for the
preservation Of the Union could not have been
carried to successful close without the aid Of
the Democratic party. 1t is idle for philanthropy
to suggest that the attitude Of that party toward
the war in the beginning was a humane one
that it was inspired by the higher and better
wish that the cause of the conflict should be
peacably removed. and the splitting of brothers
blood by brothers hands be avoided The Dem
ocratic party has been ideally identified with
slavery and slaveholding. The Republican par
ty is ideally identified with emancipation and
the war. Therefore are the youths of the coun
try incapable of being Democratic Therefore,
the Democratic party can never win national
victory.
The boys who catch thes ballots that fall from
their stiffened hands are Republicans This can
not be denied. The curse Of slavery has poi
soned the blood and rotted the bone of the Demo
crrtic party The maediction of the war has
palsied its brain. The young wife who held the
babe up to kiss the father as he hurried to the
tap Of his departing regiment has not sucked

and Fisher mean sneak, and that Mr. Blaine
was deceived in regard to the property and pros
poets Of the road, and in protecting his friends
from the consequent losses involved himself in
pecuniary embarrassments which caused him
suffering for years afterward
The Journal says that while Fisher was be-
traying an obligation in giving these confidential
business letters to the public he ought to have
given letter written by him to Mr. Blaine solcy
ting foreign appointment which he failed to
secure.
The Herald, one Of the independent organs
here, reports Butler Democrat as saying that
since the publication of this new batch of letters
he had met ten men who were intending to vote
for Mr.. Blaine. That no doubt correctly ex-
plains the effect of the letters.

A Positive Assertion that Mr. Blaine Was

BOSTON, Sept. ia letter written by Paul
West, lawyer of Boston, is published by the
Journal giving a conversation had with Mr.
Mulligan in 1879 in relation to Mr.. Blaine. Mr..
West was junior counsel to Sohier g WEIGH, and
assisted in the preparation and trial Of the case
of Julius Adams against the estate of Seth Ad-
ANS. In this case James Muligan was exam
inod as the former book keeper of Seth Adams,
and Mr. West became acquainted with him.
Mr., West was Grant man. but his friend, E. B.
Calender was strong for Blaine, and many
warm discussions occurred between them. Mr..
West told his friend that, knowing Mulligan, he
would ask him his opinion of Blaine. Mr. Vests
letter continues as follows
