THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Welcome, We pleasant dales and hills
Where dreamlfke passed my early days,
Ye cliffs and glens and laughing rills
That sing unconscious Hymns Of praise,
Welcome, re weeds with tranquil bowers
Emba;hed in autumn's mellow Sheen
Where careless childhood gathered flowers,
And slept on messy carpets green
The same bright sunlight gently plays
About the porch and orchard trees;
The garden sleeps in noonftde haze,
Lulled by the murmuring Of the bees;
The sloping meadows stretch away
To upland field and wooded hill;
The son blue sky Of peaceful day
Looks down upon the homestead still.
hear the humming Of the wheel
Strange music Of the days gone by
hear the clicking of the reel,
Once more | see the spindle hy.
How then wondered AT the thread
That narrowed from the snowy wool,
Much more TO see the pieces wed,
And wind upon the whirling spool
see the garnet once again,
With rsfter, beam, and oaken floor;
hear the pattering Of the rain
AS summer clouds go drifting DER
The little window toward the west
Still keeps its webs and buzzing flies.
And frora this COSY childhood nest
Jacks bean-stalk reaches 10 the skies
I see the circle gathered round
The open fireplace glowing bright,
w Nile OlFE0r0 etlEke WIN CFaIkAihk soAhA
Send forth a rich and rudy light;
The window sill is piled with sleet,
The weIl-sweep CT eaks before the blast,
But warm hearts make the contrast sweet,
Sheltered from storm, secure and fast.
o loved ones of the long ago,
Whose memories hang in golden frames,
Restir z beneath the naples glow,
Where few eer read your chfseled names,
Come back, a. in that Christmas night,
And fill the vacant chairs of mirth =
All me- the dream Is all too bright,
And ashes lie upon the hearth.
Below the wood. beside the spring,
Two little children are at play,
And hope, that bird OF viewless wing,
Sings in their hearts the livelong day;
The acorns patter at their feet,
The squirrel clIatters meath the trees,
And life and love are all complete
They hold Alladin's lamp and keys
And, sister. now my children come
To find the water just as cool,
To play about our grandsire's home,
To see our pictures in the pool.
Their laughter nils the shady glen;
The fountain gurgles DER with JOY
That, after years full three times ten,
1t finds its little girl and boy.
No other spring in all the world
Is halt so clear and cool and bright,
No Other leaves by autumn curled
Reflect for me such golden light.
OF childhood's faith this is the shrine;
kneei beside ii now as then,
And though the springs no longer mine,
kis. its cooling lips again.
Unchanged il greets the changeful years;
it, life is one unen6lng dream;
No record here of grief or tears;
But, like the limpid meadow stream,
1t seems to sympathize with youth,
just as the river does with age,
And ever whispers-sweetest truth
Is written on llfe's title-page.

GOV: CAMERON'S VIEWS.

In response to q series of questions ad-
dressed by the New York Herald to the
chief executives of number of States touch
ing political matters, Governor Cameron
has written the following letter:
l. A great majority Of the voters of Virginia,
without reference to party atfiliaton are in favor
OF tariff distinctly protective. In my judgment,
no party can carry this State, in national cleo
ton, which advocates tariff reform, if reform
means reduction in the rates of import OH iron,
coal, sunac peanuts and half dozen other pro-
duets Of Virginia.
The coalition party is openly pledged to pro-
lection. The large majority of the democratic
papers lean toward high tariff, but counsel avoid
ance of the issue, following what has come to be
known as the Ohio idea. The plea of avoidance
merely to save a political organization will not
in my opinion, satisfy the people. They will ex-
pect open avowal and square discussion.
2. Virginia again without reference to party
divisons) is undoub tedly in favor of an abolition
of, or radical change in, the internal revenue sys-
tenn. Our people hold this question to be init.
mately connected with the first. But how can
that be done? Revenue must be provided to con-
duct the government and pay interest on the debt,
and if the direct tax be done away with the tariff
or indirect tax, must be relied on for revenue
There may be some sentiment in Virginia in
favor of retaining the tax against liquors distilled
from grain, but the feeling is universal against
continued charge upon the fruit distillers, who
only consume surplus which cannot be put into
market, and the cost of collecting this tax is
largely in excess Of the revenue derived The
general feeling is favorable to exempting tobacco,
though few of the large manufacturers may hold
different view.
3. The democratic party certainly cannot sue
coed by avoiding or straddling the only live issue
Of economic policy now dividing public opinion
in this country A party which has no conyic.
tioDe hasitatoS N n IN tbap v;f
questions of finance has 30 reason for existence.
The logical result of lodging no less than of di-
vision, is defeat.
4 1t would seem from recent DEVELOPMENTS
that majority OF the democrats of Virginia would
prefer the nomination of Mr.. Tilden would he
accept.
The coalitionists have already spoken for Mr.
Arthur.
My own choice need not be given, as shall
have no voice in naming the candidates.

THAT THE L. 5. Senate can act quickly
when it chooses to do SO is rendered appar-
ent by the fact that though Mr. Edmunds
introduced bill to put ex-President Grant
on the retired list of the army with the
rank and pay Of general, since the fraudu-
lent character of the banking house with
which the General is connected was discov
cred, it has already passed that bill aud
sent it to the House 1t is the lack Of in
tention and not of power that delays the
legislation of both houses Of Congress.

Now THAT the bill for placing General
Grant on the retired list of the army with
the rank and pay of general has passed
the Senate aud been sent to the House, MI
Cutcheon, republican, of Michigan, a cor
rect estimate of whose opinion of General
Grant may be derived from the fact that
when the Fitz.John Porter bill was under
discussion in the house of which he Is a
member he said the General had been op.
posed to that bill but that his conversion TO
its support when there was bill for his
own profit before a democratic Congress
was as sudden as that of Saul OF Iarsus,
will have an opportunity of voting against
it and of showing his sincerity, for surely
no man entertaining such an opinion OF an
other would vote to honor and TO enrich
him at the public expense. But as Mr..
Cutcheon after making the remark alluded
to was go lacking in moral courage as to
suppress its publication in the Record, moth
lug manly is expected Of him.

SENATOR SABlN, republican of Minnesota,
like Senator Brown, democrat, Of Georgia,
is an extensive contractor for prison labor.
But while the independent and impair
tial New York Herald says that Senator
Browns case proves that while the hand is
that of Esau the voice is that of Jacob, and
that the old spirit of slavery still exists at
the South, it has never Il word to say about
what, if any thing, the case of Senator Sabln
proves. In the eyes of the Herald and some
other SC. called Independent papers OF the
North, as in those of the republican papers
of that section, crime south ofthe Potomac
is either virtue or at most peccadillo

THAT GEN. MALONE has abandoned all
hope of carrying Virginia for Arthur, even
in the improbable case of his nomination, is
proved by the fact that his personal organ
opposes the calling of an extra session OF
the Legislature, though if an extra session
be not held the State will lose oue-tweltth
of the vote TO which she is entitled in the
electoral college. But then that one vote,
if lost, might be the means Of electng the
republican candidate for President.

THE RICH stock jobbers and bankers of
New York agree with General Malone that
Arthur should be the nominee of the next
national republican convention. This is the
best reason that could possibly be given why
Arthur should not be nominated that is il
there be any probability of his election.
