ONE DAY THE COUNTRY.


When I wake in my garnet at morn, for a
moment | half forget,
And think am back again in the heart of the
grassgrown lea;
For a cage bird is singing across the way
ftwixt the boxes of mignonette-
Shall ever forget that day or the kind hearts
that gave it to me2
And again, in the heat of the noon, 1 am fain
to close my eyes,
And across the housetops high and the weary,
amending seam,
Comes nd of the dawn to me- and the
blue of the shining skies.
And the sigh of the sickle at workout faint
and far-oH as dream.
The whr of the busy machines turns into
the hum of the bees,
And the light creeps over the corn and the
wheat fields golden and fair,
Where the low rooted farmhouse nestles
down in the arms of the towering trees,
And the breath of the fragrant flowers arises
to God like prayer.
1t was only mine for a day. 1 have neithe
lot nor part
In the Joyous song of the bird, nor the wild
sweet breezes that roam
But dreary and long seems my task, and
faint and sick grows my heart
With the inconsistencies hard to bear, for a
place that is not my home.
There even the graves are green-oh! safe
and calm they lie
In the shade of the old church spire while
the river flows noiseless past;
And the child Mn laugh at their play or sing
as they hasten by
Is there never a corner for me, where 1 can
find rest at last?

LAUGHTER A MEDICINE.
How a Sorrowful Monkey Saved the Life
of a Dying Man.

now IL monkey SaVeu Une
of a Dying Man.
A short time since two individuals
were lying in one room very sick, one
with brain fever and the other with an
aggravated case of the mumps. They
were so low that watchers were needed
every night; and it was thought doubt
full if the one sick of fever could recov-
er. A gentleman was engaged to
watch overnight, his duty being to
wake the nurse whenever it became
necessary to administer medicine. In
the course of the night both watcher
and nurse fell asleep. The man with
the mumps was watching the clock,
and saw that it was time to give the
fever patient his potion. He was I'M
able to speak aloud or to move any
portion of his body except his arms;
but Selling a pillow he managed to
strike the watcher on the face with it.
Thus suddenly awakened, the watcher
sprang from his seat, falling to the
floor, and awakening both the nurse
and the fever patient. The incident
struck the sick men as very ludicrous,
and they laughed heartily at i for some
fifteen or. twenty minutes. When the
doctor came in in the morning he found
his patients vastly improved; said he
never knew so sudden q turn for the
better, and now both are up and well.
Who says laughter is not the best of
medicinesp And this reminds the
writer of another cese. A gentleman
was suffering from an liberated throat,
which at length became so swollen that
his life was despaired of. His house,
hold came to his bedside to bid him
farewell. Each individual shook hands
with the dying man, and then went
away weeping. Last of all came a pet
ape, and shaking the mans hand went
away also with its hands over its eyes.
1t was SO ludicrouS Il sight that, the pa
tent was forced to laugh, and laughed
so heartily that. the ulcer broke and his
life was sayed.-M. w. Christian Adoo-

Works of Merit Which Are Perhaps Not
Read Much as They Should Be.
An American professor makes curl
Gus assertion with respect to many of
our classics. "By some kind of SPELL"
he says, "all the old books, whose
names have been ratified off for genera
tons in essays, speeches and in table
talk, pass as embodiments of merit,
while the real truth is that those names
won their popularity in vulgar age
and have now outlived their merits.
This may be- true in some instances.

themselves is, we know, very small,

Many of our old books are, as Mr..
Henry Morley says, more quoted than

.'Evidences, Hooker's Ecclesiastical
Polity," Hobbs "Leviathan, Locke's

are books which, although well known,
are by no means widely understood.

he had catholic taste. for reading,
classed among the ''books which are
not books the works of Hume, Glib
bon, Robinson, Beattie, Soame Jenyns
and the history of Josephus-a list to
which many additions might be made.
OF those old authors whomwe do read
few are represented by more than one
book. Take Defoe, for example. What
school boy has not read Robinson
Crusoe?" The general reader how
ever, can scarcely be said to have more
than superficial knowledge of 1.-The

Mr.. Chase's Candidacy.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
Rev. Ira J. Chase, the Republican candidate for
Congress in the Fifth district will probably run be-
hind his ticket because of the growing sentiment in
the Christian Church against the participation of its
clergyman in politics.-Sentinel Sept. 8.
The above paragraph appeared in yesterday s
issue of the Sentinel. It is safe to say that
there is 10 such growing sentiment in the
Christian Church." and safer to say that he will
not run behind his ticket This is twice, at
least the Sentinel has referred to Mr.. Chases
church relations as affecting his candidacy
There is nothing more absurd than to assert or
believe that such relations will have any bear
ing upon that candidacy or his election These
communicates would prefer that their able
minister should remain In the active service of
the church, but they do not hold that by hecom-
ing an acceptable minister Of the gospel man
thereby forfeits his political rights, or that his
qualifications for Office are in any degree
impaired. In all enlightened communities
morality and piety 20 to mans credit when
ever he offers himself for public trust, and in
this sense Mr. Chase will draw votes from ''his
church" as against his competitor, but will not
draw ore vote more than he would if he be-
longed to any other evangelical order.
MIR. Chases nomination was made during his
absence in the Pacific States. It came to him
without his seeking. 1t was the unaided iudg-
ment of the Republicans of the district from con
sderations quite different from that implied by
the Sentinel. He is a sound Republican and a
temperance man; scholarly, and a good public
speaker. He is one of the people; he has come up
from the cabin, unaided by family or fortune.
He entered the army at very tender age and
carried musket, shiyered on the picket post
and slept in the mud or snow He has touched
all phases of life, civil and military, and can
enter fully into the best service of the humblest
as we'll as the highest grade of society. His
competitor. Mr. Matson, was born into affiuence
and station always had family and fortune to
open the way. and in the army the colonel rode
horse and slept in his tent upon comfortable
cot It was to find man who is qualified by
nature and experience to serve all the people in
Congress better than Mr.. Matson has or can.
that induced the selection Of Mr. Chase as the
Republican candidate. r.

BY the way. a gentleman said to me, standing
on the sea-wall: II was born and reared on East
Bay street, but have never been on the Battery
wall but twice in my life before this at this hour,
o'clock in the morning The second time was
the morning after the earthquake. The first was
when our batteries opened On Fort Sumter, in
1861. All the people were out here on the Bat
terry front. We sang and danced, and Rugged

across the bay. and we traced the shells circling
against the sky and falling into the doomed fort.
Right here we had quadrille. remember there
we're eight gentlemen and eight ladies dancing
Every one of the men but me was killed in the

thought it the hour of jubilation and rejoicing
But 1t was the hour of desolation and destrnc

the hand of God has seemed to be in wrath upon
our beloved city, md it has convinced me that
we were wrong ans courted the vengeance of the
Almighty. There is my home across the street,
once the house of my fathers, lying in RUNE; and
out there on the grass my wife and children,
where they have been for four days and nights
1t seems to me the measure of vengeance must
surely be almost full We have had nothing

Democratic Dissension In Allen County-A
Political Revolution Probable.

Democratic Dissension In Allen County-A
Political Revolution Probable.
Special to tho indianapolis Journar.
FORT WAYNE, Sept 9-The Democracy of
Allen county. the Bourbon Gibraltar of Indiana,
are just at present engaged in a red-hot family
quarrel, which not only will affect their county
ticket, but threatens to entirely disrupt their or
ganization. For years there has been loud com
plant on the part Of the city wing of the party
regarding the unjust apportionment of delegates
to the county convention, one Democrat in the
country having three times as much to say as
one equally good city member of the unwashed.
In the election of 1884 the city of Fort Wayne
cast 4, 700 votes for Cleveland while that portion
Of Allen county outside the corporate limits
cast but 400 votes for the Adirondack bum
mer. Notwithstanding the fact that 600
more Democrats reside inside the city limits
than in the country, the city, in the county con-
vention, held last Saturday had but 81 votes,
whilethe country bobbed up with 1876 In the
nominations which followed, the country carried
everything with high hand deliberately snub-
bing their city brothers.
After all other business had been transacted
Henry Colerick, city attorney, introduced a res
clution providing for equal representation, but
was squelched, and SO summarily and effect
ually that he has not yet been able
to determine what struck him. Already
disgrunted by the defeat of their friends the
city contingent left the convention hall, openly
threatening to knife the ticket placed in nomi-
nation The feeling betw cen the two factions
is so bitter that a reconciliation is impossible
The Republicans have determined to unite with
independent Democrats in nominating a peoples
ticket. and the prospects are now favorable for a
complete revolution. The county is cursed with
a strong and influential ring, headed by ex-State
Treasurer William Fleming, and the party lash
is being used vigorously.
