A Political SuREestiOm.

Nessrs. Editors 1t may be regarded as pre-
sumptuous in one who never took much stock in
politics, having always looked on it in the light
of Pope's definition, "the madness of the MANY
for the good of the few" to suggest ANYTHING SEN

chievOus trick to ditch the old Democracy
Had we not better begin to broaden our gauge

citizens known as {" local Democrats and Ma

our State, expended their time and money in

called into organizations and permitted to par

some of the county offices and even he repre-

our allies and are therefore entitled to our graft

form, and they will rally around our standard
bringing along with them the Christian. of the
old Republican Synagogue with their influences,
and thus we will have political millennium.

Where the crest of the wave bends down to the sky
White sails flap free to the breeze in the sun,
Like the sea-guls wings, as they noiselessly fly
To home and rest when the day is done
Long have they hung on the verge of the world,
And treasures rare they are bringing to me,
With hopes and dreams ofyouth unfurled
From a mystical land, DER trackless sea.
Ny ship brings wealth. and knowledge, and fame;
A palm for the right and a sword for the wrong;
worlds applause of poets name
A soul attuned to poets song.
MY ship steers straight, and the canvas bends
To the gale. with the treasures I've sought to win
True hearts that love, and world of friends;
At last At last Ny ship comes mi
No--not till the struggle of life is done,
Till cease to dream, and watch no more
The sails will CLEAN in the morning sun,
And its keel will CRATE on Eternity's shore.

The Reward Of Politeness.

New York Sun.
ssWill you be kind enough sir, to hold this
ram for me while l open this gate7 1t is fast
ened on the inside and must climb over
This modest request was made yesterday by a
man who was standing at gate on lonely
road running out of New Dorp, Staten Island,
and it was addressed to stalwart sailor who
had just come up. The only other living object
visible on the long, straight road was the large
black ram, whose massive crooked horns were
being held by the man as the two stood quite
still in front of the gate
Why, sartnly, shipmate," said the obliging
tar. as he seized the big horns and relieved the
first holder.
The latter climbed quickly over the gate
II thank You very much he said politely
when he got to the other side. You will be
surprised to hear that never saw that ram
before to-day The brute attacked me about
half an hour ago, and we have been tussling to-
gether ever since As long as. you stand before
him holding his horns firmly he can't hurt you
much. Goodbye I hope you will be as lucky
in getting away from him as I have been
The New Dorp man, when telling his story
last night, neglected to repeat the sailors reply
He did not know what became Of him.

On Reading Keats's Endymion.
No wand of enchantment. no magic is needed
A palace to build in the span Of nights
The lamp Of Aladdin lies rust and UNDECIDED,
The ring is no longer symbol Of might
But here, in these pages, the day is re-dawning
When mortals and deities interchange loves,
A.woong and winning beneath the leaf-awning,
Where fairy forms people the bowery groves.
Here gods enthroned in the shade of the beeches
And roses lisp love to the streams at their feet;
Here Venus her out imploringly reaches;
Here ardent Endymion and Cynthia meet,
Each grot Of the mountain, each cavern of ocean,
Is bright with the light of loves glowing star
There is bliss in repose; there's rapture in motion.
Asleep by the poppy or in Phebe's swift car.
Then HE from the turmoil then fly from the trouble
The dins of the mart and the dust of the streets
A fig for such hfel lis at best but bubbleI
A better is found in the fancy Of Keats

Prisneval shirt Studs.

Contemporary Review.
It might be going too far to affirm that the
lake-dwellers wore shirts and employed laun-
dresses; but it is fact that there have been
found at Moerigen bronze studs. exactly like the
studs which now adorn the fronts of gentlemen's
shirts, and double buttons in no way distin-
guishable from the solitaires used for fastening
wristbands. Ornaments of gold are seldom met
with in the ruins of Lacustrine villages; never
theless, two plates Of the precious metal, embel
spiral and a twisted fillet, have been found at
Moerigen and Auvernier These objects appear
to have been used as collars or, possibly as
badges of princely rank. The single spiral bears
striking resemblance to spiral found by DR..
Schlieman in the ruins of Troy.

The moonlt street below her feet is still,
