leaders Of this party is suddenly
seized with what appears to be an

for him generelly lasts from the time

and there it RENAME until auo her
Presidential year, with the onward

ing the canvass the poor negro is
held up before the gazing multitude
OF voters as an Object Of pity and
Republican charity. He is made be-
lleye that ali the Republicans are
his iriends. and that every Demo
crst is an avowed enemy and per-
secutor OF the African race, He is
admitted into the society OF the
Radical leaders, and is placed in as
conspicuous position as possible
at all the Republican mass meetings
in the country, This BULLDOG ng
scheme OF the Republicans has, here
tofoIe, been very effective, an1 it

fact that they have been merely vo-

dictated, and have been given no
representation, worth mentioning, in
the councils OF the nation. The
leading representatives OF the race
have perceptibility and judgment
enough TO realize that the Repub-
lican leaders love them. not as their
equals, or as individual beings like
themselves, but merely as so many
ninnies whom they can drive to the
polls and make vote as they deem
proper. Knowing these things to be
true, misrepresentation negroes have
commenced to declare, and
to seize the right to crate in con-
,yenuons, and assert the claims OF
his race, for official distinction, at
the hands Of the Republican party.
This thing occurred in the Repub-

Unnatural Natural History.

All the Year Round.
The pelican feeds it's young with the life blood
from its own bleeding bosom. This is a beauti
full mistake that will live forever in symbol and
legend The real live" pelican has a large bag
under her unwieldy beak, and, digging with the
beak towards the breast she feeds her brood and
soils her feathers with red stained tidbits of fish
from the bag. The nightingale leans her breast
against thorn and sings in pain. In the old
poets not only has she thorn in her breast but
she puts it there. Instead of being the voice of
lonely love she ought to be the emblem of those
discontinued people, who, in position enviable
to others, first make their own troubles
and then spend their lives in self-commiseration
OF course the nightingale is not such fool as
she looks in poetry. Swans are said to sing a
death-song this is poetry too But they are
Matched during the thunder; and this is prose
the belief of otherwise sensible folk. Crows and
curlews hate each other so that their eggs put in
the same nest will all burst Talking of eggs,
the cock of the south of England lays an egg
when the hen has ceased laying it is small in
significant affair, with no yolk in. it, clearly an
amateur attempt, These cocks eggs are to be
found in Sussex, if nowhere else. AS we have
got to the poultry-yard let Jobs turkey have a
word. The Americans have the honor of dis
covering that ill-conditioned bird. They say las
poor as Jobs turkey, that had to lean against q
fence to gobble, but there we must leave him,
as he does NOT strictly belong to us.

/ know of something sweeter than the chime
OF fairy bells that run
Down mellow winds; oh, fairer than the time
You sing about in happy, broken rhyme,
OF butterflies and sun.
But oh, as many tabled leagues away
AS the Tomorrow, when the east breaks gray
Is this which lies, somewhere most still and far
Between the sunset and the dawn's last star
And known as Yesterday.
I know of something better dearer too
Than this first rose you hold,
An sweet with June, and dainty with the dew,
The summers golden promise breathing through
Its white leaves tender fold;
Oh fairer, when the late winds, gathering slow
Behind the night shall moaning sad and low
Across the world make all its music dumb.
Oh dearer than the earliest rose to come,
Will be the last to go.
know of something sadder than this nest
OF broken eggs you bring,
With such sweet trouble stirring at your breast
For love undone the mother birds unrest,
That yesterday could sing.
My little child too greved to want my kiss,
Do forget the sweetness they will miss
Who built the homel My heart with yours makes
moan
But OH that nest from which the birds have flown
Is sadder far than this.

Nor close thy heart on light to gain release.
