Came presence strange to me,
Never to be banishcd;
Brighter az it grew to be
While all others vanished.
Many footsteps round me fall
One alone Pm learning;
Many voices to me call
One alone discerning.
Many eyes there are, own.
Shedding true love through them;
Strange, but just one pair alone
Draw my own unto them:
Many lips unto me speak.
Friendships faith repeating;
Lips OF one alone seek,
When their gentle greeting.

One Of tho most insulting and absurd

"the country would not be safe under
Democratic rule" We would be glad to
hear some pretense Of reason advanced

country was decidedly "fafe." A Dom

and how senseloss 1t Is TO assert that a
country is not ''safo" In the hands Of a
majority OF It's best citizens. There are
probably ovor five millions Of Demo

such are to Republicans! Are they not

there is world of difference in the two
