KILLING THR sHEPHERDS

The Springfield, Mass, Republi-
can says that as Mr.. Blaine appear
ed on the platform of his car on
the Saturday evening previous to
the election, his face was as white
s his hair, and he seemed exceed
ingly fatigued. If the election is
decided against him. We do not be-
lieve that he will live q year. The
stem Of a stamp in a quartz mill,
though of iron, becomes chrystal-
liked after so many drops, and
snaps like pipe stem, though to
all appearances it seems unchanged
by work. The human brain is like
the iron stem. It wears out, and
men nervous and fred by a Quench-
less energy, generally stop as the
stem of the stamp does-by . snap.
The Republican party has been
merciless to its chiefs. More have
been killed by falsehoods and in
gratitude than disease. The De-
mocracy has supplied the falsehoods
the Republicans have furnished
the ingratitude. It began in 1872,
and since then the Republicans
have, as a rule, fought their battles
by detachments, and often the de-
tachmcnts were commanded by nom
commissioned officers. The abuse
bestowed upon Grant between 1872
and 1876 would have killed any or
binary man. One after another the
shepherds have been driven from
tho focks until now the wolves
probably got in. Our private
thought is that it is serving the
flock about right; it will learn what
is left of them to cease ''bahing" at
their sheperds.

fast to thereafter attempts to lower himself
TO the floor below. The rope slips from his
body to his neck, and he Is suddenly con-
fronted with the fact that he is his own exc
cutiOner.
Miss Hong did not think such an accident
possible, and Mr.. Barry said he would dem
onstrate that it was perfectly feasible.
Shortly after this discussion the two young
folks parted. Mr.. Barry retired to his room.
He was next found by his father hanging
from a rope dead The suppostion is that
Mr.. Barry, after leaving Miss Hong, con-
cluded to test the feasibility of Sykes acct
dent with the view of illustrating it to his
friend as he had promised to do. With this
end in view, he took with him to his room
an inch rope. One end he made fast to the
knob on one side of the door by a simple
cross-hitch and threw the other over the top
of the door. This end contained a loop-knot.
1t is thought that he placed this about his
waist and let himself down from the top of
the door, adjusting the loop so that it could
have easily slipped TO his neck. 1t is thought
that he fell from the door, or that the rope
frightened upon his neck Unexpectedly. In
such an emergency an affection of one leg
which be had sustained would have made
the chances of freeing himself desperate.
The jury concluded that death was purely
accidental

No, there will be no aggressive campaign.
If his supporters had begun a campaign of
aggression, and his opponents had responded
with a campaign of retaliation, Mr.. Blaine
would have retired from the canvass long be-
fore this. He is the last man in the world
who can afford to go into an aggressive CAM
paign, and he knows it. If by underband
means, in crooked ways, he can steal into the
White House, he will do it Honestly and
fairly to fight way there he leaves to the
man whose HatchWard is, Tell the truth"

TowsoNToWN, Md, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1884,


Once more across the leafess land
We hear the clash of Christmas chimes:
The young and old stand hand in hand.
And dream the past in present times.
There is q story in the Bells
That comes in whispers through the air;
Of Love to come their music tells,
They sigh to others of despair!
Last year we flung the window wide;
Twas such a Christmas Eve as this;
We bade the bells to greet the bride
And consecrate the bridegroom's kiss.
A little year! too brief, alas
To save the ship or still the wave;
Tomorrow morning we shall pass
The flowers on her husbands grave!
A year ago! you can't forget
The darkness of last Christmas night,
A little robin cold and wet
Flew dazed and hungry to the light.
Our holly wreaths unwithered still,
That glad new year had scarcely come,
We heard o shout across the hill,
Our long-lost brother had come home!
"Good Will and Peace !" in leafy scroll,
We saw above the chancel dim;
We heard the mighty organ roll :
Its music for the Christmas hymn.
Ine sermon was OF lOYe, ana oil
Uprose, just blest-a Christian fold;
Still fathers kisses never fall
On mothers forehead as of old
Ring on, ye Christmas bells, of peace;
Ring on of love that never dies;
The love that lasts through life must cease,
The life of deathless sympathies;
Ring out the only true belief
Across the meadows and the plain.
The woods once more will smile in leaf;
Tho summer flowers come again.
This is the music of the chimes
That crushes hate and kills despair;
The gospel of the good old times
Filling with love the very air; ~
Though hope lies buried, it will rise.
Though sorrow triumphs, twill depart;
Love will re-light grief wasted eyes,
And gil with joy the empty heart.

The Christmas Log.

Hail to the night when we gather once more
All the forms we love to meet;
When we've many guest that's dear to ou
breast,
And the household dog at our feet.
Who would not be in the circle of glee
When heart to heart is yearning-
When joy breathes out in the laughing shout
While the Christmas log is burning?
'Tis one of the fairy hours of life,
When the World seems all of light;
Nor the thought of woe, or the name of foe,
Meier darkens the festive night.
When bursting mirth rings round the hearth,
Oh! where is the spirit that's mourning,
While merry bells chime with the carol rhyme,
And the Christmas log is burning
Then is the time when the gray old man
Leaps back to the days of youth,
When brows and eyes bear no disguise,
But flush and CLEAN with truth.
Oh! then is the time when the soul exults,
And seems right heavenward turning;
When we love and bless the hands we press.
While the Christmas log is burning.

co:rt nv treasures Ger with care;
The little toy hat baby knew,
A little sock of faded hue,
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas time,
My little one-my all to ne
Sat robed in white upon my knee,
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
"Tell me, my little golden head,
If Santa Claus should come tonight,
What shall he bring my baby bright,
What treasure for my boy?" / said.
And then he named the little toy,
With in his honest, mournful eyes
There came look of sweet surprise
That spoke his quiet, trustful joy.
And as he lisped his evening prayer,
He asked the boon with childish grace,
Then toddling to the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night, as length'ning shadows crept
saw the white winged angels come
With heavenly music to our home,
And kiss my darling as he slept.
They must have heard his baby prayer.
For in the morn, with smiling face,
He toddled to the chimney place,
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Cnr1srmasrrue,
That angel host so fair and white.
And, singing all the Christmas night,
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock, little toy,
A little lock of golden hair,
The Christmas music in the air,
A watching for my baby boy.
But if again that angel train
And golden head come back for me,
To bear me to eternity,
Ny watching will not be in vain.
