TOGETHER.

The summertime is brief,
When the brier is in the leaf,
And the arras of the heavens is blue;
sThere's not a cloud to-day,
Search we near or far away,
Only sunshine, only sunshine, for US two.
The dimpling water calls,
The tide to landward crawls,
Shall we spread the sail, or dip the oar,
And steer for Tyntagil,
Or what fairy coast you will,
Whatever mystic, far, romantic shore?
The nymphs and nereids there
May twist their sea-weed hair,
And the sirens Sing their sweetest melodies.
While we float and float along
To the echo of their song,
Out on the mysterious, storied seas.
We may lean upon the oar,
And listen to the lore
That the breakers whisper in our ear;
Wemay catch the sigh. alas!
Of drowning folk who pass
Far beyond US to some unreported sphere.
But perhaps the wine may rise,
And touch us as it flies,
And the white squall follow in our wake;
And sweep us farther still,
With its r~esistless will,
From the hower-haunted strands we hope to
make.
Yet engulfed in bitter death,
With fainting, failing breath,
Touching land unknown in any chart,
What to US the waning light,
Of the planet in its flight,
So we neither live, nor die, apart?
-.uarv NJ Prescott, in Bazaar.

The certainty that life cannot be long,
and the probability that it will be much
shorter than nature allows, ought to
awaken every man to the active prosecu-
ton of whatever he is DESTROYS to per-
form. 1t is true that death may inter-
cept the swiftcst career; but he who is
cut O.: in the midst of an honest under
taking has at least the honor of falling
in his lank, and has fought the battle,
though he missed victory.

FOR FEMININE READERS.
In an Album.

The wife of General Winfield Scott
once wrote the following verses in an
album:
"Women have many faults;
Men have only two;
There is nothing right they say
And nothing that they do!
"But if naughty men do nothing right,
And never say what's true,
What precious fools we women are
To love them as we dol"

POLITICAL RAILEOdDJNG.

The Democrats of Pennsylvania arc evil
IDENTIFY pleasing themselves with the hope that
they can mako a political issue, helpful 10
themselves. out of the popular feeling about
tho combination of Pennsylvania and Wander
bilt railroad interests. The opposition to the
sale of tho South Pennsylvania is very strong.
and the Democrats hope to represent them
selves as the exclusive defenders OF the public
interest in the matter The Republican Com
ycntion declined to "rcsolve about it, and
tho Democrats think it fine chance to pass
solemn resolutions and TO institute proceedings
in court.
There was and is no occasion for resolving on
the subject. The Constitution of the State
affords ample means for the protection of all
public interests in that matter. II the coDtem-
plated sale is contrary to the public interests,
a. its opponents maintain, it can be and ought
to be prevented by simple enforcement OF
the Constitution as it stands, and simple
performance Of their duties by the State
officers. According TO the Democratic Attor-
uey General, and such jurists as Judge Agnew
and Judge Hall, the Constitution distinctly
prohibits such n sale as the one proposed.
II so, it is Tire business of the present Ohclals
to enforce the law. Nobody is called upon to
resolve that they ought to enforce it. Ii the
Democratic Convention feels that some prod
ding may be necessary to induce the officials OF
ITS own party to obey and enforce the Consti-
tuition, in that light resolutions are excusable.
From any other point of view they are
supcrfluous. If the officials do their duty, they
deserve the same credit thst they would
deserve for the discharge Of any other clear
aud undisputed official duty. But it would not
necessarily be Il reason Ter preterring party,
because its officials do not neglect all their
dutes.
The railroad interest, it is unnecessary to
say, has strength in bath parties, not only ia
Pennsylvania but also in New Jersey, where
Mr.. McPhelsoii, the present Democratic Sem
ator is the recognized agent Of that interest
1t has equally well known representatives in
both parties in the State Of Pennsylvania. It
may be that the democratic officials hope to
serve both their party and theniselves-thc
party by making a show Of enforcing the laws
before the election, and themselves by getting
rid of the suits and satisfying the railioad
interest afterward The pth OF the matter Is
that there Is no occasion fOr raising political
issue on the SUI jcct. II tn, State officials dis
charge their duty under the Constitution, the
rights OF the people will be amply protected
