"N0T BEAUTIFULr

They ssy thou art not beautiful.
To me thou art uiost fair
Aud shrined within my faithful heart,
Thine image dear wear.
In every glance, in every smile,
see nameless grace;
for love Of mine. an angels soul
Shines through thy mortal face
Thy hand is rough, and brown with toll,
Yet soft as summer rain;
With light aud soothing touch il falls
Upon the brow OF pain;
The sufferer feels its healing power
Rob iesth Of half its sting,
And deems that little toil-stained hand
White as an angels wing.
Aud, sweetheart mine, no wildering
lights
Flash from thy modest eye
Too timid is their downward glance,
To startle or surprise;
Yet would have them shining near,
To watch me when pray,
To keep my heart FROM wo-llly thoughts,
Sweet eyes Of gentle gray.
No modern fashions MARI thy robe,
So softly flowing down;
Yet hangs nanleless dignity
Around that simple gown.
No pretty simpcring queen Of art,
Nor slave to fashion thou;
Thy pure aud gracious womanhood
Is written ON thy brow.
A throne of thought. that virgin brow
Hides in thy clustering hair,
OF ample breath, that life may trace
Its noblest records there.
"Not besatifulr-my peer less quecul
What idle words they speak
Who may not mark Loves dawning blusl
Shy mantling DER thy cheek
mot beautiful v'-my best belovedl
II sweet aud humble worth
Crowns not with perfect lovcliness.
Then nough. is fair on Garth.
The children fly from faircr forms,
TO cluster round thy knee;
And that they deem thee beautiful.
By their fond looks see!
Ny only love! l would not dare
TO change thee II could;
To me thou art most beautiful,
Because thou art 80. good.
To me thy gentle face must be
Tho loveliest ever seen-
The fairest face in all the world,
: My love, my star, my queen!

Spain Offers up Cuba.

Minister Foster, our representa-.
tive In Spain, has been IN Wash
ington tor numbsr OF weeks. Ii
is now learned that he Is here for
the purpose OF assisting the State
department to uegotiate q treaty
with Spain for the purchase OF
Cuba. Spain is willing to sell, aud
Frellnghuysen is ready to bay.
The price Is not yet agreed UPON
but it is probable that this will
soon 10 settled on. Spain holds
Cuba nov only at a loss, owing to
her bad management OF the affairs
of that unhappy island. Twice
this government has nearly pur.
chased Cuba. Buchanan once
nearly bought Cuba for go, ,OOO,.
900. Hamilton Fish once had "
treaty all perfected to buy Cuba
tor $3.50, ,0O0,O 900. After the treaty
had been ratified by the executive
authorities OF both countries, Mr..
Fish before sending the treaty to
the senate for flnal ratification
thought in his conservative fash.
ION that il would be prudent to
send a circular note to the powers
asking them il they would object
to tho purchase. OF course they
did, and Mr.. Fish never sent the
treaty to tue senate. Now the admin-
istratiou has conceived the idra OF
purchasing Cuba to Offset the bril-
liant policy of Mr. Blaine. tits said
that Spain is now willing to sell
cheap, aud that she will take soOt-
OOO, 900 rather than not sell at all.
Cuba might bc q feather in the cap
OF the administration.

The Facts Of the Amos Fight.

In all their public and published ar
guments against MIR. Amos candida
cy for County Attorney, his opponents
have alleged that he persisted in liv-
ing at Humboldt instead of at the
county seat. We happen to know,
however, that Mr.. Amos has been as
sured by the leaders of the opposition
to.him, that if he would promise not
to appoint his present deputy, there
would be no fight made against him
here. These assurances, which the
opposition cannot deny having made,
show the true inwardness of this fight.
They prove that the enemies of Mr..
Amos are not honest in alleging his
place of residence as their only, or
even their main reason for fighting
him. Taking their own word for it,
their only objection to Mr.. Amos is
that his deputy is personally OBJ
noxious to them. And what a reason
for opposing a man whom they ac-
knowledge has made a faithful aud
efficient officer No one with any self
respect would make such demand of
Mr.. Amos as they have made. We
are glad that he had manhood enough
to reply to them as he did: "If you
have any charges of corruption or in
efficiency to make against my deputy,
1 will listen to them. If you have
no such charges, can simply say that
when I get ready to sacrifice my
friends to save my own neck, / will
let you know" And have they any
charges to make against this deputy?
1t is stated that the salary is not
enough to support two officers. Do
those who make this statement mean
to draw the inference that either the
County Attorney or his deputy must
exc out this salary by dishonest means?
If that is so, the county wants to know
it. If that charge is made, it is the
duty of those who make it to prove it.
AS matter of fact there is not man
in the county who believes that either
Mr.. Amos or Mr.. Fisher ever used
their Office to turn a single dishonest
dollar into their hands, and the insin-
uation that they have done so, unsup-
ported as it Is by any evidence what
ever, is cowardly and contemplate.
1t is further insinuated that the dep
uty is not as able a lawyer as he
should be. Where are the proofs of
that? They will not be found on the
court record, and we have heard Mr..
Fisher unqualifiedly praised as an off,
Ger, by one who is in a position to
judge of his ability, but who is person.
ally very unfriendly to him. No one
so far as we have heard, has ever init
mated that the interests, either of any
indi vidual or of the county, have suf-
fered because of his appointment.
We make these statements, not at
Mr.. Fishers suggestion, or because we
think he needs any defense, but be-
cause We think the people of the coun-
ty ought to be informed of the true in
wardness of this opposition to Mr..
Amos. When it is all simmered down.
it is not a fight against Mr.. Amos at
all, but against his deputy. And this
fight is made, not on account of any al
legged nlalfeasanee or inefficiency, but
on purely personal grounds. Such be-
ing the facts, We hardly think the peo-
of Allen county are ready to sacrifice
faithful and active officer to crafty
the personal spite of one or two indi-
viduals.
