David B. Hills relations to the canal claim
cases do not appear more creditable the more
they are examined. Under oath, he declared
before a legislative committee that the cases
were "well tried for the, State" Yet 1t APP
Deared on cross examination that no witness
appeared for the State, nor was it represented
by counsel More One-sided proceedings IL
would be hard to imagine. If Mr.. Hill calls
this looking carefully after the interests Of
the State" he is a most conspicuousIy unfit man
to be Governor of the Commonwealth.
An assault on the character or the Repdb-
lican candidate for Governor has resulted only
in bringing TO light another instance OF Mr..
Davenp0rt's generosity. Opinions may differ
as to the Nervousness of the offence Of being
connected with a wine-making company, but
there can be only approval of the act by which
Mr. Davenport assumed Il burdensome duty for
sae benefit of a widow and her fatherless
children. Democratic partisanship could in
vent no greater variance from the facts than
appears in the reports that have been spread
abroad concerning Mr.. Dayenports relation to
this business

The singer sang the world q song
And soon in every tender heart
Its melody, sweet and strong, ..
Became dear and lastly part.
But nc one knew and no one cared,
That from supremest grief and wrong
dis breaking heart had learned the notes
That trembled into glorious song.
A woman who from every cup
Had drank life's glad and bitter streams
Sat down and wrote wondrous tale,
As sweet and bright as fairy dreams.
But no one knew and no one cared
From what tumultuous sea Of thought
The soul in lonely voyages
Its parable Of life had brought.
The teacher with burning heart,
With tongue as swift and hot as flame,
Led with a wise and tender heart
The world into its highest aim.
But no one asked and no one knew
Through what fierce conflict day by day,
He won the victory which cleared
For weaker hearts the higher way.
For each soul has one inner room
Where alone it seeks the grace
To struggle with its sharpest woe,
Its hardest destiny to face,
To lift the duty when it fears,
To love, to trust, through every doom,
And not the nearest, dearest heart,
Goes with it to that inner room.

A. M. Dunno,

On golden curls, on nodding head,
On lips that baby prayers have said,
The freight, glancing dancing red,
Its radiance filings.
While breathing out into the glow,
Sweet melodies unceasing flow,
Now merry, gay, or sad, or slow,
For mamma sings. ......-
All, me the very songs she sung
In years agone, when she was young
And all her listeners spellbound hung
On her lips-she keeps
For the low-ceiled twilight room,
Where her mother fancies bloom,
And no passion comes to gloom,
While baby sleeps .....
And does she sigh for those lost days
OF lofty halls, applauding praise,
And bright eyes proud, admiring gazep
Love never counts the cost.
So naught cares mamma-on her breast
The baby head in baby rest,
In her love content and blest,
She deems the world well lost.
