All, me. the way they rumaged around!
All, me. the startling things they found:
No one with fair Idea of space
Would ever have thought that in one place
Were half the things that, with a shout,
These neighborly burglars hustled out.
Came articles that the Deacon's wives
Had all been gathering all their lives;
Came furniture such az one might see
Didn't grow in the trunk of every tree;
A tall clock, centuries old, twas said
Leaped out of window, heels DER head;
A veteran chair, in which, when new,
George Washington sat for minute or two ;
A bedstead strong, as If in its lap
Old Time might take his terminal nap:
Dishes, that In meals long agone
The Deacon's fathers had eaten on
Clothes, made of every cut and hue,
That couldn't remember when they were new;
A mirror, seatheless many a day,
Was promptly smashed in the regular way;
Old shoes enough. IL properly thrown,
To bring good luck to all creatures known;
And CHI ldrea thirteen, more or less,
In varying plentitude of dress.
And that was the sight
We had that night,
When reused the terrible foe to fight,
Which blazed aloft to moderate height,
And turned the cheeks of the timid white,
Including Deacon Tompkins.

When all at once the old courthouse bell
(Which had voice like n maniacs yelD
Cried out, as if in It's dim old sight,
The Judgment day had come in the night.
"Bang, whang, whang, bang, clang, dang,
bang, whang,"
The poor old parcel of metal sang;
whereat, from mansion, cottage, and shed,
Rose men and women as from the dead,
In different stages of attire,
And shouted, "The town is all afire"
(Which came as near to being true
As some more leisurely stories do.)
They saw on the Deacon's house glare,
And everybody hurried there;
And such lot of visitors he
Had never before the luck to see.
The Deacon received these guests of night
In costume very simple and white;
And after drowsy, sacred "Ahem"
He asked them what he could do for them.
"Fire! fire p they shouted; "your houses
aire!"
And then, with energy sudden and dire,
They rushed through the mansions selitudes
And helped the Deacon to move his goods
And that was the sight
We had that night,
When reused by the people who saw the
light
Atom of the residence crazy and white,
Where lived old Deacon Tompkins.

POETRY.
HOW WE FOUGHT THE FIRE.

BY WILL CARLETON.
Twas drowsy night on Tompkins' Hill:
The very leaves of the trees lay still;
The world was slumbering ocean-deep;
And even the stars seemed half asleep,
And winked and blinked at the roofs below,
As yearning for morn, that they might 60;
The streets as stolid and still did lie
As they would have done If streets could die;
The sidewalks stretched as quietly prone
As If q foot they had never known;
And not a cottage within the town
But looked as If it would fain lie down.
Away in the west stacker cloud,
With white arms dropping and bare head
bowed,
Was leaning against-with drowsy eye
The dark blue velveting Of the sky,
And that was the plight
Things were in the night,
Before we were reused the foe to fight
The foe so greedy and grand and bright
That plagued old Deacon Tompkins.
The Deacon lay on his first wife's bed,
His second wife's pillow beneath his head,
His third wife's coyerlet DER him wide,
His fourth wife slumbering by his side.
The parson visioned his Sundays text,
And what he should hurl at Satan next;
The doctor, drowsy, half.vigil kept,
Still studying as he partly slept,
How men might glutton, and toPe, and fly
In the face of death and still not die;
The lawyer dreamed that his clients meant
TO club together, and then present,
AS proof that their faith had not grown dim,
A small, bright silver hatchet to him;
The laborer such sound slumber knew,
He hadn't dream the whole night through !;
The ladies dreamed-but can't say we'll
What it's they dream, for they never tell;
In short, such a general drowsy time
Had ne'er been known in that sleepy cline,
AS on the night
OF clamor and fright,
We were reused the treacherous foe to
fight
The foe so greedy and grand and bright,
And carrying such an appetite
That plagued old Deacon Tcmpkins.

COMMUNICATED

Mr.. "Fogy'' desires to express his compll'
ments to the "Young Mems Democratic
Association" He never for a moment
thought that such an auxiliary to the seen
hai" cluh would not DO of great benefit to
our cause; all that he opposed was null
tipcuL:un of small clubs. Two organiza-
lions are amply sufficient in this small vot-
ing community sufficient! and the
sensible and discreet will say so. Who au'
thorized the party who signed himself IN
your issue of yesterday as the "Ioung Men
Democratic Assocatlou," to indite such d
personal communication rs that was? Ger
tain,y not the club, for they had not met,
and therefore it was, to say the least, an as
sumption on the part of some scribhler to
take up the gauntlet, when none was
thrown down The writer Of this and the
former squb was part and parcel OF the
campaign of 1910, and down to this present
year of grace, by his acts and works, he has
given the fullest evidence of his fealty to
his country and party and he would kindly
say to the party or parties who wrote that
diatribe in yesterdays GAZETTE that they
had better tarry in Jericho till their boards
grow. My heart, my body, my all is for
the success of our grand old democratic
party, and no hurdle can l possibly throw
in the way, even if would-whch kind
heaven forbid

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANs.-A dispatch
from Richmond 10 the New York Herald
says: ut transpires now that the Blaine
electoral ticket trouble is not settled. The
straightouts and Malone forces are still at
loggerheads. The compromise said to have
been made by Senator Riddleberger and
Lieutenant Governor Lewis, by which q
new electoral ticket was to be framed out
Of the two now in the field, has fallen
through. That statement, whatever the
nature Of it, did not meet the appreciation
of either Malone on the one side or General
Wick ham, leader of the straightouts, on the
other. Mr.. Wickham says he knows moth
ing about the neutrality-suspicious. compro-
mise and he repudiates the terms of it as
they have been reported in the newspapers.
He also says that he will agree to nothing
short of brand new ticket, and insists that
both the tickets now in the field be taken
down aud new one selected by the State
committees of both branches of the Blaine
party here. 1t is almost CERTAIN that Ma
hone will never consent 10 this measure
He will claim that the ticket named by the
convention Of April 23, the delegates OF
which were recognized in Chicago, is the
regular ticket and no other. There is pros
pectve trouble in the party here"

Of prominent lawyer, bearing upon pre-
