Absence Makes the Heart Grow Ponder.

ABSENCE MAKES tne heart GROW FOndec,
Century.
1t was in the early summer when my love
and last parted;
She the seaside sought, and left me in the
city broken-hearted--
L to swelter through the summer, she on
sea-kissed shores to wander;
But her last words gave Inc comfort; cab
sence makes the heart grow fonder.''
How | loved the little letters that from time
to time she sent me-
As | read, 1t seemed that they momentary
sea breeze lent me
When she wrote Of picnics, bathing, yacht
ing trips; then made me ponder
Well the truth OF that old saw; "Absence
makes the heart grow fonder.'
oft she spoke of her admirers; how she babe
them dance attendance.
Made them carry books and baskets, and
forswear their Independence;
Spoke of one she nicknamed Cr9sus, who
on her his wealth would Squander;
But she added "Dear old goosie, Absence
makes the heart grow fonder.'"
SO worked away, quite happy, through
the broiling summer weather.
Longing for the coming autumn, when we'd
walk the world toge her
Though her letters We're less frequent, still
| very often conned her
Last one, where the postscript told me cab

Fewer still were now her letters, and she
wrote; I'm very busy"
eXpostulated-mi ldly--with my hayward,
wtching Lizzie;
Once more came the same old answer-any
other seemed beyond her;
"Don't you know you stupid Willie, Alb
sence makes the heart grow fonder?'"
One more letter yet she sent me while she
at the seaside tarried,
Laughing at our mild tiirtation,' telling
me that she was married;
And twas thus her note concluded-as
read my face turned yellow:
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder-
fonder of the other fellow,"

have contained the humor for ut least ten

of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about

terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when

The RESULT IN NEW-YORK.
STILL HOPEFUL FOR BLAINE.

BOTH SIDES LOOKING TO THE OFFICIAL COUNT TO
DETERMINE THE MATTER.
There was substantially no change
yesterday in the figures showing the
result of the election in this State
as gwen already in The TRIBUNE. BY
the returns from nearly all the election dis
tricts, as furnished by the Associated Press,
there remains a plurality of nearly 1000 for
Mr.. Blaine. 1t is certain that the official
canvass will not show more than few
hundred plurality for any candidate. Re-
turns from county clerks and chairmcn of
committees vary considerably I'm several
counties. In Wcstchester II mistake was
found in one election district which reduced
the plurality in that county for Mr.. Cleveland
to LBS. The claim of 1923 plurality in
Queens. made by the Democrats on Thursday.
was abandoned yesterday and 1,922 substi-
tuted. In like manner the claim of 5000 plu-
rality IN this State was abandoned for
one OF about LOO. Each day
they have decreased their claims by
hundreds. The Republican State Committee il
confident of fair plurality for Mr.. Blaine; but
the official returns can only determine the exact
figures.
SUMMARY OF ASSOCIATED PRESS FIGURES
The lootingt FOR 2.0O3 election precincts and for
Ncw-lork aud Kings as furnished by the Associated
Press have already been given. Making correction
of an error discovered in iootngs during n scrutiny
of the returns by both parties yesterday, the re-
turns showed u plurality for Mr. Blaine of i6s. The
rtufns since received from ten precincts show a
gam Tor Mr. Blaine. the vote OF these procints be-
ing, for Blaine 900. .622. for Cleveland 55s,7l5.
plurality for Blaine O07 Tho precincts
not yot heard from gavc 1869 votes for
Garfield and 1919 votes for Hancock,
showing plurality of 81 for tho Republican ticket.
Assuming that these 2,6Si voters made no change.
the result would he 5G0o0l for Blaine. AMI
900, ,03O for Cleveland, plurality for Blaine O6l II
will require the official count to determine the result
in this state, but the returns from precincts ought
to be more reliable than any other information yet
obtainabIe Next Tuesday tho official returns from
counties may be expected.
