Roscoe ('Onkling.

Washington dispatch: Mr.. Conkling's
position in a Presidential canvass is al
ways matter of great interest, and. al
though he is severely criticised when his
aid is not needed. his services are usually
in great demand IN times of political
emergency. 1t has been announced that
he would support Cleveland, and this
has been followed by reports that he has
consented to make number of speeches
in favor of Blaine, but the ex-senator
himself has taken and will take no part in
the campaign. In conversation with your
correspondent within the past few days
Mr.. Conkling said that he had decided
never to enter politics again, that he would
never accept another Office, that he would
never make another political speech, but
should devote himself entirely to his law
practice which demands his entire time.

IN THE FOREST.

All what a mournful change Is herr,
Since last l stood beneath these trees
When in the sunny Summer time
Their green leaves tr6mblcd on the breeze
Then happy birds, with joyful song
Filled all The al with music SWEET,
Then III the forest rang with glee,
And flowers blo>somed at my feel.
Tie birds are flown, the flowers gone,
The leaves fall slowly hutteriug
Beneath the Crees they fall and spread
a gold and crimson carpetiug.
There's naught but silence all around,
A solemn stiffness everywhere
a sadness DER the fallen leaves,
A sadness in the very air,
From deep, dim recesses there comes
The odor Of decayiug leaves
The wind, among the naked houghs,
In hoarse and hollow murmur g%rieves.
Beside the rocks, 50 cold and gray,
The long fern hangs a dropping head,
Here saddened nature seems TO mourn
A Summertime forever dead
