Transcripts From Nature.

SUNSET IN THE NORTH BEHIND PINES.
Against the steel-blue sky the pines
Stand outlined, dark and weird and tall;
Low down, beyond, the suns red bail
Between their forest pillars shines;
The sunset sky their DoughS enfO!d
Cleans as in some cathedral old;
Beyond the pillared nave, o'erhead
A window flames with mystic red.
DRAGON-FLIES.
Blue as though fallen from the skies,
The pool dreams in the gorse-clad heath
The yellow nevis dart swift beneath;
Above, the whe cling dragon-fies
Flash In their shining coats of mail,
Or with spread wings slow float ur sail
Through the MINDLESS air: live gems they
seem,
That late in the earth's bowels did CLEAN.

EUROPEANS habitually charge ig-

matter of cholera. A full account of
it appears in the foreign dispatches.

of the principles of democracy to
the task of working out the |
happiness of the people is sub
lime in its simple strength and !
dignity. He is democrat because of
this faith. He has held it through |
twenty-five years of defeat and of
hope deferred, which has sickened
many stout hearts. He held to it, not
from policy, not because he expected
one day to hold the nomination of the
party for the highest place within the
gift of the people, but because he be-
lieved it right, and believed that it
contained the doctrines and policies,
which, if carried out honestly, would
conduce, as nothing else could, to the
best good of all the people, the mass
of the fifty-five millions who owe
fealthy to the government OF the re-
public.
The dignified and simple scene was
one worthy to have been participated
in by the choice spirits of the nation,
living and dead. With his sisters at
his side, without ostentation or pomp,
this man of the people, this honest,
simple servant of the great state of
New York, calmly receives the mes
sage from the national democracy
which bids him "come up higher"
and he talks in an old-fashioned way
of the simple faith and trust of the
fathers of democracy, who were at
the same time the fathers of the
nation. The scene was worthy of
all the participators In it, and
it will make an lndellible and delight
full picture upon the public mind
whose good effects will have an i'm
portant bearing upon the campaign.
| Let us venture to express the hope
that it will soften and modify the
asperitles usual to all our modern
political struggles. New York is the
leading commonwealth of the nation.
She has many Of the most illustrious
of the nation for her own proper
children, and now we can see why
this man, this simple rugged
tribune of the people, in COM
munity like that, should be elected
her chief magistrate by the grand
est majority ever cast for
any man in this country. He was
worthy of it, and the people knew it.
This is the secret, and if the signs of
the times are at all reliable, he will be
elected chief magistrate of the nation
by corresponding or greater rela-
tive majority, by the most over-whelm-
ing popular expression which has yet
been made since the government was
founded.
To this end Texas will contribute a
hundred thousand majority, if not
more. New York will have to stand
upon her muscle if she would beat the
Lone Star state in devotion to democ-
racy and her distinguished son

York
