here at 1915 this evening over the Balti-
more & Ohio road in private car from
Youngstown. The party left Akron at

field, Mt. Vernon, Utica and GAINESVILLE
especially enthusiastic ovations were ten
dered, though at many of these places
heavy rain was falling.
WHEELING, w. Va, September 25-

grounds Chairman Golden, of the State
Committee, called the meeting to order,
and named Hon. w. P. Hubbard, of this
city, and Col T. H. Anderson, of Cam
bridge, O., as joint chairmen. In intro
ducing General Logan, Hubbard said ::
"The States of West Virginia and Ohio
will please come to order" The crowd
numbered $4,000. General Logan was re-
ceived with the widest applause. He
spoke for an hour and quarter, princi-
pally on finance and tariff. He was fol-
lowed by Powell Clayton and General

THE GOLDEN DAYS DEPARTED.

voices still beneath the churchyard sod,
Bright eyes that glistened from behind long
lashes;
Warm beauty early given back to God
Red lips that now ashes.
All, so il is! all that hath ever been
Experienced by the spirit is immortal;
Each love and joy and grief is hid within
The memory's sacred portal.
And yet the soft glow of midnight hour
A strain of haunting music sweet and olden,
dream, bird, a bee, leaf, flower,
A sunset rich and golden
Can fling that portal open and beyond
Appears the record of each earlier feeling;
All hopes, all joys, all fears, all musings fond
In infinite revealing.
Till all the present passes from the sight
Ii cares and woes that make us weary hearted,
And leaves basking in the holy light
OF golden days departed.

Buffers Convention.

WORCESTER, Mass, September 24---The
convention of the Peoples party was called
to order by Col. A. c. Drinkwater, who
welcomed the delegation to the first con-
vention of the Peoples party and the true
Democratic party of the country. He
welcomed all, no matter what their former
political affectation might have been, and
then alluded to the wonderful campaign
made by Butler last year, Notwithstanding
all the opposition concentrated upon him
by self constituted leaders of the Demo-
cratic party and the press and pulpit.
These self constituted leaders, said Drink
water, ask US to follow them this year,
when they admit they were wrong last
year. 1t is mere presumption to say to the
representatives of the Peoples party that
they are wrong in advocating the election
of Butler. We have men to lay the foun-
dations of a party that has come to stay,
and one which will yet be successful.
Judge McCafferty was unanimously
nominated for Governor.
1t having been announced that Butler
would reach Worcester at noon, the con-
vention adjourned to that time to the
depot in body to escort their candidate
10 the hall.
WORCESTER, Mass September 24.-The
ticket was completed as follows: Lieu
tenant Governor, John F. Marsh; Secretary
of State, Col John P. Sweeney; Treasurer,
Nathaniel S. Cushing; Auditor, Israel w.
Andrews Attorney General, Thomas w.
Clark.
The platform of this first convention of
the Peoples Party found premature publi-
cation and therefore was neither crisp nor
fresh when read to the assembled dele
gates. The platform is in harmony with
the declaration of principles made at Indi-
annapolis and with the letter of acceptance
of Gen. Butler, and also with his subse-
auent speeches. The committee on resO-
lutions, however, gave measure of new
ness of the original proclamation by add
ing thereto resolutions reaffirming the plat
form of Gen. Butler at Chicago, demanding
law making employers liable for acci-
dents caused by neglect to supply ap-
pliances for safety from machinery and
from fires. Also a resolution demanding
the enforcement of the national eight hour
law in the State instead of the ten hour
law, and the frequent payment of employees
by corporations. The convention having
finished its work Butler delivered an ad

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if dark or fair
Whele-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show
Like crystal panes, where heart-fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs OF birds,
Yet whose utterances prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that GO
On kindly ministries TO and fro
Down lonliest ways: if God wills il so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains few may guess.

THE BOOKKEEPER'S DREAM.
BY JOHN W. EDDY.

,,, , lo,, had YEARLY worn to its close
ilG iI igbt had come down with its needed repose,
Anu IhPs1Ekeeper wended his way from the store
H5ad That the hours of his toll were Ger.
,,..ibt was cherries and dismal and damp
ing hG tbe dckering flame of the dim street lamp
Anu Anu ',nI ont in the rough, wild gust that beat
Irt,b Or furious speed through the gloomy street,
-.-o5 and cold and with pain-throbbing head,
"a sank to repose in his lonely bed
GtiT Through his brain as the bookkeeper slept
Visions of Debtor and Creditor crept
The great Baance-sheet he had finished that day
And Profit and Loss in the usual way,
showed the amount his employer had made
OR lost in the preceding twelve-months trade.
And he dreamed that night that an Angel came
With the Ledger of Life, and against his name
Were charges until there was no room to spare
And nothing whatever was credited there!
There were life and its blessings, as intellect,
health,
There were charges of time, opportunities,
wealth
OF talents for good, of friendships the best;
of nourishment, joys, of affection and rest,
And hundreds of others and each one great
All with interest accrued from the time of their
date
Till despairing of e'er being able to pay
The bookkeeper shrank from the Angel away!
But the Angel declared the account must be paid,
And protested it could not be longer delayed;
The bookkeeper sighed and began to de- plore
How meagre the treasure he'd laid up in store;
He'd cheerfuly render him all he possessed
And give him a note on demand for the rest.
Then quickly the Angel took paper and wrote
The following an acceptable note
''On demand, without grace, from the close of to-
day,
For value received, promise to pay
To Him who has kept me and everywhere
Has guarded my soul with infinite care.
Ocean,
While living the sum of my hearts best devo
tiOn.
In witness whereof TO be seen of all men
afix the great seal of the souls Amen"
The bookkeeper added his name to the note,
While the Angel across the great ledger-page
wrote
In letters as CRIMSON as human gore,
Settled in dH,-and was seen never more!
When the night had rolled back and its shadows
were gone,
And a roseate morning had lushed into dawn
On the swift wings of faith rose the incense of
prayer
From the altar Gods Angel had sanctifed there.
THE above poem has been reprinted many
times and has had wide circulation in the news
papers of the East Several years ago Mr.. Henry
Whittemore an expert accountant in New York
city, had it autographed and embelished in nine
different colors upon large card at his own ex-
pense and it was placed in many of the large
counting-rooms of that city. We find it in the
Kansas Methodist of the oath instant.

A Model Govcrnment.

New Orleans Times Democrat
In the last number Of the Consular

government of that little country. which
he claims to be a model one. It would
certainly prove a happy land to those
who dislike taxes, debt, interest. etc.
There are absolutely no taxes OF any
kind levied on the inhabitants. There
are no insurance rates to pay, because all
the buildings are tire-proof. There is no
fire department in Malta and no need of
one. The islands have no debt. and,
therefore, no interest to pay. On the

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884
THE TIMES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its histOry-mOrc widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended. and more
fiercely criticized, with Il more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able sSOh OF contributor
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE Times has no party to follow, no candi-
dates 10 advance, but win meet every issue, as
il has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right. TO honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, il
will aim TO be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper
The value of newspaper is not in its size or
display but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TIMES spends lavishly for news
from all parts Of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed in
order to give the complete news Of tho day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
il q large variety Of entertaining and iustruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed TO enrich its columns,

THE WEEKLY TINES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers Of twenty years
ago. The day Of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere. especially in the thriving centres
Of rural population, have made the old weekly
