MANIFEST DESTINY.

Manifest Destiny, as understood IN
American policy, is the gradual and
comparatively peaceful absorption by
this country OF the whole continent.
Destiny works its own ends, in lis own
way, and is now pushing towards CON-
pletion part of the accomplishment
of its purpose. The people of Panama
are anxious that the United States
should continue the occupation, which
became necessary for the protection OF
American property and interests. They
understand that they are unable to
maintain a peaceful government and
that the protection Of stronger power
is necessary Naturally, they turn to
this country, and should our Govern
ment assume the obligations OF pro-
tectorate, the gradual assimilation OF
customs will make easy the transition
from dependant ally TO a member Of
the Republic, as State or a portion of
it as a Territory.

SOMEWHAT PREMATURE.

a Washington correspondent states
that an understanding has been effected
with the friends of Blaine, Conkling
and Arthur by which Senator Sherman
will be their political heir. The cores.
pondent did not state the nature or
amount OF the political effects of these
distinguished men. AS rule, poll
ticians are willing to surrender their
chance when ,shey have no chance to
surrender. Mr.. Blaine had his chance
last year and LOST it. Arthur has never
been tn the ranks Of Presidential candi-
dates, except as the successor of him
self. Mr.. Conkling is out Of politics.
He has warm friends and admirers, but
little populai following. He may be
ranked among the intractables. Still,
il Mr.. Sherman can gather up these
stray forces he will add materially to
his own political Strengths. F. Call.

FOR HIS SAKE.


Hold closer still my hand, dear love,
Nor fear it's touch will soil thine own;
No palm is cleaner now than this,
So free from earth stain has it grown
Since last you held it clasped so close,
And with it held my life and heart;
For my heart beats but in your smile,
And life were death, we two apart.
I loved you so. And you? All, WE'LL
have no word or thought of blame;
And even now my voice grows low
And tender, whispering your lame.
You gagged my love by yours-that's all,
! do not think you understood;
There is a point you men can't reach,
Up the white height OF wOmanhood.
You love us-so at least you say,
With many a tender smile and word;
You kiss us both on mouth and brow
Till all our heart within is stirred;
And having, unlike you, you see,
No other interests ut stake,
We give our best, and count that death
Is blessed, when suffered for your sake.

The great door still stood open. The
fly waited, with it's piled up luggage,
below the terrace steps. Norton press
ed yet closer into the shadow OF the
portico, and caught his breath to hear
his wife's next words.
'My husbands continued absence

with again the harsh laugh she fancied
so fascinating, that | determined to
ascertain for myself the cause OF hls
detention. Hope my advent Is not
utterly inconvenient, but Norton

with the pleasant surprise Ihaveplan,

Norton waited to hear no more.
He skunk noiselessly down the steps,
sped swiftly through the gardens and
fled away in the darkness OF coming
night.
Hidden away among the glades Of
the park lay a placid, hazel-fringed
mere. Feathery larches waved over,
lilies spread their broad leaves and
silver cups upon, it's still waters.
But the morrow's sunbeams, part
ing the fragrant larch-plumes with
slender, shining fingers, fell on some
thing which the spreading lily-leaves
tried pityingly to conceal. From the
yellow hazel catkins the dew dropped
like tears upon the dead face of a man
whose body drifted under the shelter
of the bank, and that dead man was
Norton Blake.
Out of his dilemma he had found
a road; but whether that
road was the towards one of sui
eide, or that, in his bewilder-
ment he had wandered unwittingly
to the mere, missed his footing in the
darkness, and slipped into it's treach-
erOus depths, it was an impossibility
to determine.

these prices our raisin producers can make
profit. Last year was one OF disaster,
owing, of course, to the low price of raisins
in the East. This might have been miti-
gated, al least, if merchants had taken the
crop East and put it on the market in
proper time This they could not do, as
the price first demanded here was SO high
that it was impossible. In order to pre-
vent such an occurrence in the future a
proper understanding must be arrived at
between the merchants and producers.
