SIGNS OF RAIN.

The hollow winds begin to blow.
The clouds LOOK black. the glass is low;
The SCOT falls down, the spauiels sleep;
And spiders from their cobwebs creep;
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in halves hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaves a Sigh,
For see, a rainbow spans the sky;
The walls are damp. the bitches smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel;
The squalij loads at dusk were seen
Slowly crawling DER the green:
Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry
The distant hills are looking nigh;
Hark! how the chairs and tables crack
Old Betty's joints are on the rack;
And see yon rocks, how odd their flight
They initiate the gliding kite
Or seem precipitate to fall
As if they felt the piercing ball;
How restless are the snorting swine,
The busy flies disturb the kline;
Low DER the grass the swallow wings;
The cricket, too, how loud she singsl
PuSS on the hearth, with velvet paws.
Sits wiping DER her whiSkered jaws;
Twill surely rain, see with sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put off tomorrow.
DIR. Jenner, 1910.

THE OHIO SENATORSHIP.
The Kind of Man the Democrats VIII
SuppIant if They Get the Legislature,

NEW YORK, August 24-The Mug
wump Evening Post, after strongly deT
nouncing the present management of the
Democratic party in Ohie, points out
that the issue of the present campaign is
not so much the Governorship as the
election of the Legislature and of Z.
s. Senator next March. 1t goes on to
speak thus warmly of Senator Sherman
"Gov. Hoadly is respectable and an
able man, but his reelection at this time
is not an event which the public nave
a very deep interest. The most impor>
tant concern that the people of Ohio
and those of the United States have IN
the campaign relates to the Senatorshlp
falling vacant on the 4th of March next.
1t is quite certain that if the Republicans
carry the Legislature Senator Sherpan
will be reelected. If the Democrats
gain a majority, some plant tool of the
Enquirer faction will succeed him.
"Mr. Sherman has been in public life
as Congressman, Senator or Cabinet
Minister more than thirty years, and
has rendered very great services to the
country. He is one of the foremost of
American, possessing store of expert
ence beyond any other man now IN pub
lie life, and with all his faculties unim.
paired. He is politician, but politi-
clan of the useful type. Hn has not
stood absolutely perpendicular in all the
financial gales that haue swept the State
of Ohio in his time, but his average line
has been true, and his personality has
been at times the deciding influence
which guided the policy of the Nation.
The restoration of specie payments IS
insteparably coupled with his name.
Whether this great achievement was due
more to himself, or to the favoring cir
cumstances of the time is immaterial. A
less skillful and less experienced hand
would probably have made botch of it.
The public relied upon him to enforce a
law which, when passed, very few ext
pected to see carried into execution, and
and they did moi rely in vain.
"The elevation of the National credit
is not Mr.. Sherman's sole claim to public
confidence. He has shown remarkable
fertility of resource in all the emergen+
cies of politics during the past quarter
of century. He is a partisan of the
unAinching type, but withal statesman
of keen discernment and high usefulness.
He is one of the class of tried and prov
ed men of ability and leaders of parties
whom any State ought to be proud to
keep as her representatives in the high
est councils of the Nation. We shall be
surprised if the people of Ohio do not
find means, even in the existing tangle.
to return him to the Senate"

A golden haze o'erhangs the hill,

A FOREST HYMN.

Tbeglowing sun is riding high
Amid the arches of the sky,
Dreamy air lies still,
No sound disturbs the leafy glade
Save that by busy wOodbill made
Upon some ancient trunk, decayed-
Calm broods DER vale and bill.
In such an hour l love to stray
From haunts of toiling men away,
Mid forest depths prOfound;
There, in bliss of solitude,
Where no dull cares of earth intrude.
And Nature breathes sweet quietude-
The grand cid trees around
The heart by daily cares oppressed,
The wearied spirit findeth lest,
AS, pillowed on the sod,
With nought above but leaf and sky,
And loving look of Heavenly Eye,
Perchance with angels lowering nigh,
dream of Natures God.

WashingcOn's First Correspondence

Here are two letters that were writ
ten by two boys who became great and
good men.
The first letter is from Richord Henry
Lee, who spoke so boldly and acted so
bravely for our country in the time of
her great peril and need:
"Pa brought me two pretty books full
of pictures be got them in Alexandria
they have pictures of dogs and cats and
tigers and elefants and ever so many
pretty things cousin bids me send you
one of them it has picture of an ele-
fant and little indian boy on his back
like uncle JOS sam pa says if learn my
tasks good he will let uncle jo bring me
to see you will you ask your ma to let
you come to see me.
RICHARD HENRY LEE.
To this letter Washington sent the
following reply:
Dear Dickey, thank you very much
for the pretty picture book you gave me.
Sam asked me to show him the pictures
in it, and read to him how the tame ele-
phant took care of the masters little
boy, and put him on his back and would
not let anybody touch his masters little
son. can read three or four pages some
times without missing word. Ma says
may go to see you and stay all Gay
with you next week if be not rainy
She says l may ride my pony Hero if
Uncle Ben will go with ne and lead
Hero. Ihave little piece of poetry
about the picture book you gave me, and
[ mustn't tell yon who wrote the poetry.
sc. W's compliments to R. H. L.
And likes his book full well,
Henceforth will count him his friend,
And hopes many days he may end"
"Your good friend,
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Il am going to whip a top soon and
you may see it and whip it.
In less than half century after writ
ting this child-letter, this same George
Washington stood before vast assemt
blage of people, and with hand upon the
Bible, took the oath as first President of
the United States.
Long live George Washington, Presi-
dent of the United States" shouted one
who stood near, and the people caught
up aad repeated the shout. But the first
person to clasp Washington's hand was
his lifelong friend, Richard Henry Lee.
