The Unexpectedly favorable outcome Of the
French elections Sunday, the movement for
liberty in d .nmark, like that which won such
a success in Norway and Sweden last year, the
laundering progress of the Radical cause in
England, and the signs of advancement in al
most every part OF Europe give profound sig
nifcance 10 the article on the progress o.
Democracy in Europe" by Emilio CASTELAR,
the great Republican leader of Spain and her
president when she was republic in the
November North American. Reviewing
the history of the movement for freedom, with
all its set backs, diversions and extravagances
Mr. CASTELAR, says:
"From one end to the other of this new Eu.
rope blows tie air of hope. Serfdom in Russia
is no more. The great aspirations of Poland
are not exiDguished, though tyrants have
buried her body alive and set her spirit like an
extinct star in the Pantheon of dead epoch.
Greece has grown strong and Democratic in
proportion 10 the growth of her fundamental
institutions. Servia, Montenegro, Roumania,
and Roumelia have become nations. The
Turkish Empire and the Russian Empire will
shortly disappear, one by force of internal rev.
oluti MS, the other by forge of European war.
Germany win become parliamentary and liber-
al as soon as the imperial and Caesar-like
prestige disappears with those who now wear
it. Belgium and Holland appro lch daily
nearer to pure democracies.- The Helvitic re
pubics, on their Alpine heights, will grow in
vigor as q lesson and an example to all. Italy
constituted a progressive nation, and France a
Democratic republic, will prove to be a necess-
airy organs of universal progress. In virtue OF
the electoral reforms lately promulgated, a
great Democracy will take the place of English
arstocracy. A confederation of free peoples
will advantageously supplant the monstrous
Austrian Empie. And before our century is
ended, the great revolutions of America and
France will have given all their fruits to Chris
tianity, founding glorious ampblctyons of free
peoples and nations in the Old World as well
as in the New"

Thorn's Hep snd Burdock

TFrom the Gazette, Concord, N II.

from the UaZette SouCoiu, ~ H.
ssVc arc nation of dyspeptics, says
en- author, and there is far more truth III
this statement than the casual observer
would imagine. A diseased liver is always
insidious in its progress, and the moment
that great vital, secreting organ, the liver,
becomes, sluggish. the digestive organs
suffer, the stomach is weakened, the food
is not properly sssimilated, and life, health
and strength are poisoned at the great
fountain head from which they derive nu-
triton We were lei to these thoughts by
noticing Thorn's Hop and Burdock Tonic,
the great constitutional remedy for all dis.
eases arising from the detection of the di-
gcsiivc organs. 1t stands prc-emincntly
at the head of all similar preparations. and
so successful has it been in the restoration
of health to the afflicted that it has grown
to he leading article. 1t is composed OF
substances whose medicinal value has long
been recognized by the faculty, and which
goes directly to the seat of disease; in C
ton it is mild and soothing and does not
rack and subject the system TO pains equal
to those of the disease itself. Every dose
o. tins great remedy brings you nearer
health, because the quantity of impurities
IS reduced, aud perseverance causes their
entire expulsion; it enriches the blood and
'eanses it from all impurity. Manufac-
ured with great skill and the Utmost care

ueveI regret it The price is low, only
twenty-five cents for half pint bottles, and
fifty cenls for pint. This is the largest
III quantity of any similar preparation, and
the quality is far superior to any other, and
this low price is an inducement held out by
the proprietor to give every one chance

WHILE the stay at home warriors like Sher-
man and Hoar have been bravely proclaiming
the need of another bombardment of the South,
the Seward Grand Army post of Auburn, Y,
has been down to Richmond to see about it this
weeK, and following is the sanguinary account
of it:
They were met by Phil Kearney post, Rob-
ert 4 Lee camp veterans and the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues at tho station, and escor.
ted to the state capitol where they were swell
coined to the city by the mayor, and to Virginia
by Gov Cameron, both of whom referred 10
the peace reigniIg throughout tine Union. y
The speakers of the Seward post responded in
like fraternal terms, and in the evening ban
quet was given in the visitors honor in the
Confederate Veterans Hall.

THE LITTLE BOY 1 LOST.

In the haste Of the busy daytime
Sometimes the pain Is sun;
But v hen the gentle evening
Crceps up the western hill,
NV heart ca les out for my darllag,
That little boy of mine,
For he was only little boy
A little boy OF nine.
And when roam the hill tops
Where the early wild.howers grow,
I cannot tread on the pretty things,
Because he loved them so;
And when the building sparrows
Twitter among the trees,
A bright face lifted toward them
Ny longing spirit sees.
There are sweet young faces round me;
Cav voices greet my ear;
But cannot smile,-l only wish
That the little boy were here
They pirate of this noted singer
That artist SO divine;
But through them all rings the tender voice
OF my little boy OF nine.
o life, thou mystery binding!
0 love, so full OF pain!
If only cut Of your shadows
My child could come again
And, oh II lever enter
The light OF heaven divine,
Sh al find him just as he lett me here,-
A little boy OF nine

Beecher, "take this letter to Father Pise OF the
church of st Charles Borromeo." Father Pise

on mine. Take good care of her. Yours in

Beating into Them.
CErom the PHILADELPHIA Times.

The lesson of Ohio Will now be repeated in
New York. and by and by the day will come
when all parties will understand that honesty
is the best policy. Republicanism had to be
fioeged into some appreciation OF honesty, and
IT would have been forged yesterday in Ohio
had il not been necessary 10 fog Democracy
into the understanding that the faithful fo9ging
of bad Republicanism means the faithful fog
gng Of bad Democracy as well. By another
year the Democrats i'll better appreciate their
mission and their opportunity; they will learn
the value Of their late national triumph TO both
the party anc the country, and honest govern
ment will have the same meaning with poiiti-
Clans that il has with the people. Such is the
lesson of yesterdays election in Ohio.

from the St James Gazette.
Ladies fair, the end is near;
Soon will lie upon its bier
Every lovely blossom here.
Posies cen with which the year
Strives to hide her swift decay
Now must pass from us away,
And 10 death be laid beside
Flowerlets that IN Summer died.
Zinnias, flashing fires bright hue,
Marigolds, whose buds pursue
Golden Sol from east to west;
Lilies, of all blossoms best
For the dying seasons shroud;
Daisies, 10 st Michael vowed;
Dahlias, set in order prim;
Asters, loaded to the brim
With weight of tears unshed;
Hollyhccks, pink, white and red
Dainty columns wreathed with bloom ;
Vioets of rare perfume;
Roses pallid, ay and wan,
Yet so sweet all will have gone.
Ladies fair, the end is near;
Dying is the sylvan year.

DAWN AND DUSK.

Slender strips Of crimson sky
Neir the dim horizon lie,
Shot across with golden bars
Reaching to the falling stars;
Soft the balmv west wind blows
Wide the portals of the rose;
Smell OF dewy pine and fir,
Lisping leaves and vines astir;
On the borders of the dark
Gayly sings the meadow-lark,
Bidding all the birds assemble
Hank, the welkin seems to tremble!
Suddenly the sudden CLEANS
Break the poppy. fettered Dreams
Dreams of Pan, with two feet cloven,
Piping to the nymph and faun,
who, with wreaths OF ivy woven,
Nimbly dance to greet the Dawn.
Shifting shadows, indistinct,
Leaves and branches crossed and linked,
Cling like children, and embrace.
Frightened at the moons pale face.
In the gloomy wood begins
Noise of insect violins;
Swarms Of fire flies flash their lamps,
In their atmospheric camps.
And the sad-voiced wbip.poor.
Echoes back from hill to hill,
LIQUID clear above the crickets,
Chirping in the thorny thickets.
Weary eyelids, eyes that weep,
Wait the magic touch of sleep;
While the dew, in silence falling,
Fills the air 18th scent OF musk.
And this lonely night bird, calling,
d drops note down through the dusk.
