Clipped from my 'notc bookn for Tue LIE GER
After laying down volume of seven
thousand songs aud poems, from King
Solomon TO Ella Wheeler inclusive, 1
come to the homely conclusion that there
is no place for poetry and poetic writing
like home.
"Mid pleasures and palaces though We may roam
Be Z ever so humble, there's no place like hOmel
charm from the skos seems TO ha low us there,
which, seek through the world, is neer met with
elsewhere
True indeed are Payne's sweet words
James Russell Lowell, very beautifully to
be sure, wrote a poem on theme from
tales from the old Round Table Knight
hood and think his present fame has as
sure foundation in ''Sir Lanntal" as in
any of his works yet to me, and l think
to all true hOme-Americans, his Bigelow
tales and other literally home and New
England pictures are far more pleasing,
far more beautiful. It is not strange that
home should wear these attractions
Laying all philosophy, all deep research
into the subject aside, and LOOKING at
it from Biblical point of view we all see
the grand plan of creation in centcring
towards some main and worshipful OBJ
ject. AS God claiming the homage of all
people, and men and women requiring in
their turn the love of one another to
unite, to commingle; and love demanding
for itself a permanent abode or quarter
from which 10 eminate. So from this
primal idea Of oneness and centrally has
sprung the grand institution of the dear
love of home !
selling to Thy home II there the meanest shed
Yield thee II breath and shete for thy head,
| And some poor plot, with vegetables stored,
BE all that Heaven a'lots thee for thy board -
| Yet cen this cheerless mansion shall provide
| More hearts repose than all the world beside. -
The above, from the Greek of Leonidns,
have chosen from among the many
wonderfully beautiful things that have
been written on this inspired subject as
the most fitting to say to the present
transitory American people. Cling to thy
home or, if not of the clingiug nature,
| mhhS VI bhgSoht u my bMh hohlb anu
sensibilities a home, palatial hotel for
the reception of the love and esteem Of
thy comrades. In all nature there is oil
has been, at least small portion of love,
and il so small why should it be ventured
at losing chance upon the broad surface
of tho world when in little quiet corner
it might take root, and divulging will
gorm-like rapidity, encircle the whole
realm of friendship that will certainly
come towards it like a needle to the mag
net. He is the worlds, the mothers, til,
child's poet who, sitting by the hearth o
that dear shelter he has consecrated, re
lates the tales of the fireplace, sings tn
dramas Of the garnet and MARBLES will
full heart the infinite lays of Home !

We chronicle with deepest sorrow and
regret the distressing circumstances
under which the infant son Of Mr.. Sam
uel Lindsey, who lives short distance
north of this town, died on Monday, from
the effects of being scalded. The T.
cumstances of the scalding as reported to
us makes it appear that Mrs. Lindsey
had left her baby boy on the floor in
room while she went to an adjoi ing
room to procure some clothing, prepara-
tory to washing and dressing the child.
In the meantime a servant girl was sent
to get some hot water. The girl reached
the room in which the child was, before
Mrs. L. returned, and sitting the vessel
containing the scalding water beside the
child, left the room. The little innocent
upset the water with the above sad
results. The baby boy was slightly over
one year of age, and was the pride of a
devoted father and loving mother.

Marching on to Victory.
Lively County Convention and Strong
Ticket Placed in the Field.

The Democratic county convention was held in
this city yesterday. 1t was harmonious affair,
conducted upon straightforward Democratic
principles. There was refreshing absence of
political chicanery and guerilla warfare which
characterized the Republican county convention.
The only struggle was in the selection of shrie-
valty candidate, besides nominal fight in the
thirteth legislative convention. But neither
struggle was bitter 1t was good naturally con-
Quoted and the defeated candidates stand ready to
put their shoulders to the wheel and start theDem
ocratic wagon on the road to victory. 1t was the
first time for years when each township in the
county was fnlly represented. This serves tc
illustrate the fact that the Democrats are awake
and active. determination to place in nom
ination fit candidates was manifested on every
hand. 1t is true that a number of the lead
ing Democrats declared themselves out
of politics and declined to run, but other good
men were found who accepted.

You may be in the first stage-remember that

Merriman stepped before the footlghts the aud
fence cheered to the echo. The address was in
substance as follows:
have been in deliberation for six hours, and it
would be unjust for me to speak at length. L
will therefore say but word. II would be time
wasted for me to dwell upon the principles OF
the great Democratic party. The principles are now
precisely what they were twenty-five years ago
The party is opposed to all rings and factions
which ruin the country. believe in the, old
fashioned Democracy. In ancient times, after
the Romans had all been provided for, Cato said
81 took nothing but that which l ate and drank. "
That is good Democratic principle. 1t is an OLD
principle and we must go back to this"
The action of the two legislative convention;
was unanimously ratified, and the convention
adjourned with three cheers for Cleveland, Hen
