Why the Great Cause Failed.

Richard Grant White, in the
North American Rerie'c, says:
The South had fought to obtain
an inequality OF personal rights
and an aristocratic form OF society.
The North had fought, not in Il cru

tocracy, but for money; for the

HIDDEN STRENGTH.

Henrietta Ray, in Christian Union.
In one of the prairie towns of
Northern Iowa, where the Illinois
Genital railroad now passes from
Dubuque to Sioux City, lived a
woman whose experience repeats
the truth that Inherent forces,
ready to be developed, are waiting
for the emergencies which life may
bring.
She was born and "brouglt up
in New England. With the ad.
yantages OF a country school, and
a few terms in neighboring city,
she became q fair scholar-not at
all remarkable; she was married at
twenty-one to u young farmer,
poor but intelligent and ambitious.
In ten years after the death OF
their parents they emigrated to
Iowa. and invested their money in
land that bade fair to increase in
yalue, but far away from neighbors.
Here they lived, a happy family,
for five years, when he died, leav-

with four boys, the eldest nearly
fourteen, the youngest nine. Tue

seemed almost a wilderness, she

LEE.

[By the asthor OF "FaAen,D "Flower
Graves etc. Written in haste at the re-
quest of lady of New Orleans, a few
weeks after the death Of Gen. Lee.
We saw tho fragile ma.deu, May,
Trip down the paths Of morning,
And queen July in eeatral day,
Her fower-throne aderning;
And weeping trees in sombre lines
Took mp an anthem murmur,
When August. with her trailing vines,
Went out the gates OF summer
Now yellow husks are on the grain,
And leaves are brown aud sober,
And sundown clouds tave caught again
The aush of ripe October
We hear the moody hill-tops Groom,
The airy maize-blades whisper,
The year is in its afternoon,
And leaf,beIls ring the yesper.
What Is ii gives this cleaning song
Its melancholy featurei
What is it makes our souls prolong
This monotone of natur 7
What fearful grief is iu our hearts
What swaying under-reason
What sorrew real now imparts
Its spirits to the season 7
The crispiDg leaves may shoal the rays,
The sun turn down the heavens
Still oil the years have fading days,
And all the days have evens
Enough-w whatever else NAV be-
That in this autumn weather,
The verdure Of the worll and Lee
Have silent fed together.
So prone are men where'er they move
To tread the ways of evil,
They seldom hold their kind above
A common grade and leyel..;..
But Lee beside his fellow-man,
Stood over all, a giant -,
The higher type-the perfect plan
God-fearing, ,Nod.reliaut.
A giant not alone in fields
Where bent the.sanguine. Reaper,
Where death threw Ger his harvest-yield
An autumn crimson deeper;
But with the iron strength of will
He sought his life to fashion;
He held his ruder pulses still,
And closed the gates of passion.
There / ave been men whose mighty deed
On cold historic pages,
! Are driven like October seeds
: Along the reaching ages
Whose statues stand like sentinels,
On whitened shafts and bases.
Whose ashes rest IN marble cells,
And sepulehres and vases.
But he who in this autumn time,
Vas lost beyo nd tho river,
Has found glory path to climb
Forever and forever!
And monumental marble here,
With deeds of honor craven,
What can il be to one so near
The inner gates of Heaven
By still Potomac's margin dun,
Where shrilly calls the plover,
, Where 'eanthe heights of Arlington
. Its CHASING waters over;
No autumn voices haunt the moles,
No breezy covert ripples,
No longer whIrl the leayes in shoals
Beneath the stately naples.
Some vandaps ak has shorn the crest,
The woody slopes are shaven,
No lo1ger builds the dove her nest
Where mournful croaks the raven;
n But down the southland's fruity plain
The leaves are all a-quiver,
" And there his momory shall reign
Il Forever and forever.

prefer a negro massacre and a war
of races to Republican defeat. Mr..
Sherman's own state now leads in
violence and bloodshcd. He pro-
fesses to find the condition of the
South deplorable. What does he
think of the condition of Ohio?
Beyond question, if anything like
the scenes at Cincinnati had been
enacted in any part of the South.
John Sherman would have found
in them, not the crazy acts of men
maddened by appeals to their pas
sions, but proof of the lawless-
ness and ruflianism of the whole
Southern people and an apt COM
mentary On their Democratic af1ilia-
tions.
While the Democratic majority
one side of the Capitol is wrangling
over the tariff, the Republican
ma ajority on the other side is in q
row over the educational bill. Sen
ator Blair was permitted to push
his pet project along without in
reference, as the Republican lead
ers thought it was harmless and
could not be passed anyhow. But
their suspicious were aroused by
the support given to the measure
by Democratic Senators, and the
subtle Edmunds made an investiga-
ton. He discovered, to his great
alarm, that Blair's hobby was
Trojan horse, full of dangers to the
republic. 1t provides that the
s75,O00,000 appropriated by the
bill, the greater part of which will
60 to the South, shall be distributed
by the state authorities. Edmunds
at once assumed that it would be
used for political purk oses and as
corruption fund. A caucus was
called, and a committee of twelve
appointed to revise the measure.
They met at Wormley's hotel, and
had the liveliest kind of row with
Blair and other members of the
committee on education, who re-
sented and resisted any tampering
with the bill which they had pre-
pared. But the committee decided
upon several changes, the most i'm
portant of which was to relieve the
state authorities of the responsible
ity Of distributing the money, and
investing the federal government
with that power. There was
strong feeling in favor of defeating
the bill, but the Republicans are
too far committed to it to permit
of such action, and the only way
out of their dilemma is to make as
many changes as possible. But
Blair gave notice that he will fight
all amendments, and the Democrats
will support him. The Republican
majority is 50 meager that Blair has
a fair prospect of beating the caucus,
and the influence of the President
has been solicited to harmonic the
party.

HON. MORRISON R. WAITE,
Chief Justice Of the United States.

MORRISON Il. waite presents q
subject for more extended biogra.
ghy than our space will permit
Fulsome eulogy would be un-
worthy the character and office of
the Chicf-Justice. On the other
hand the record Of such life be-
longs to the public he has served
and is still serving with so much
ability.
In the quiet old rural town of
Lyme, Connecticut. still stands the
house where Morrison Renwick
Waite was born, Nov. 20, 1915. Mr..
Waite entered Yale College at the
age Of seventeen and graduated
with honor in 1887 in class which
included VIM. II. Evarts, Edward
Picrrepont, Prof. Silliman and
others who have become Jistin-
guished men. He then began the
study of law in his fathers office
in Lyme, but finished his studies
in the office of Samuel NJ. Young,
then a prominent attorney in Maui
NEE City, Ohio. In 1889 his pre-
ceptor took him into partnership,
and in 1850 the firm of Young &
Waite removed to Toledo, Ohio,
and established a large and success
ful practice. A few years after Mr..
Waitc's younger brother was ad-
United to the bar and a partner
ship was formed consisting of the
two brothers, which continued up
to the time of the formers appoint
mcnt to his present high position
by President Grant, Jan. 20, 1874.
Politically Mr.. Waite is a Repub-
lican, but he was always too deeply
engaged in his profession to become
much of partisan or party leader.
Eo all the war measures of the gov
ernmcnt he gave earnest and effec-
tive support. In 1S49 Mr.. Waite
was elected to the Ohio legislature
as a Wing. In 1862 he was re-
luctantly a candidate for Congress
but was defeated by Edwin NJ.
Phelps. Thereafter other nomina-
tions and appointments were ten
dered him but he refused to accept
any Of them.
Mr.. Waite was conspicuous
character in the great Geneva
Tribunal as one of the United
States counsel and he performed
his arduous task to his great credit
and the entire satisfaction of his
government. He thereafter re-
turned to Toledo and resumed his
practice, and in 1873 was chosen
president Of the Ohio State Con-
stitutional Convention. Upon the
death of Chief-Justice Chase there
was intense interest throughout
the United States to know who
would be his successor. After the
successive nomination of Hor. Geo.
II. Williams and Hon. Caleb Cush-
ing and the withdraw of their
names, President Grant then select
ed Mr.. Waite and his appointment
was confirmed by unanimous vote
in the Senate. 1t is the glory and
security of nation to have it's
highest place of Justice filled by
men, who, like f-Justice Waite,
add to the loftiest official character
that parity of life, urbanity Of
and generous beneficence
which distinguish him.

TO A SKELETON.

Bch old this ruin! Twas a skull
Once, of ethereal spirit full
This narrow cell was lifcs retreat:
This space was thoughts mysterious seat.
What baautiorS visions filled his spot?
What dreams of pleasures long forgot
Nor hope. nor joy, nor love, nor fear
Have left one trace of record here
Beneath this mouldcring canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye employed:
If with no lawless fire it cleaned,
But through the dcws Of kindness bcamed
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue.
If fnlsclood's honey it disdained,
And when it could not praise was chained;
If LOld in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
This silent tongue will plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine,
Or with the envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them.
Bat if the page OF truth hey sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod
These feet the paths Of duty trod
If from the bowers of case they fled
TO seek aiIlictiOns humble shed;
If grandeur's guilty bribe they spurncd,
And home to virtues cot returned,
These feet with angels feet shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.
