Night and Morning.
NIGHT.

NIGHT.
The shafts of day-beams. qaivering in thy
breast.
Make pickering tapers of the star-lropt
skies.
To light the chamber where thy presence
lies:
There. on couch of worlds thy form can rest,
Thy slumbers waken; meteor-like she flies
With flaming torch to startle worlds sur
prise
And hush their tumult; such is thy behest,
As Mystery thy mantle round thee throws
And wonders what thy subtle dreams are of:
Times babbling stream 4 course more
smoothly flows,
The clustering stars seem breathlesS in their
love.
While stiffness settles Ger thy deep repose,
Counting the heart-beats till thy slumbers
close.
MORNING.
At last thy nimble steps come on apace.
And sky-depthS tremble with welcome
song
That family ripples as it purls along
Star-pebbled shores, where dawn lights inter
lace
Depths of eternity. and soft reveal thy grace,
Which, time enhancing as the lights grow
strong.
Eclipses night with all its gorgeous throng;
And leaves in view thy rapture-thrilling face.
Thy treSses, clasped by yonder cleaning star,
Float out, a gossamer of golden cloud,
Yelling the beauty time can never mar
With strands that scarce thy dimpled
shoulders shroud;
And when | gaze into thine eyes afar.
1t seems that heaven hath left the gates a ar

General HarriSon's Home Life.

General Harrison invited me to &C.
company him during my brief visit last
week on one of these MONDAY home
trips of his. Then and subsequently 1
had some charming glimpses of house
hold which must be called the ideal of
refined and gentle domesticity. The ap-
preach to this home is pleasant, for Del
aware street is paved with cedar blocks,
and lined with trees that cast q graceful
shade over green lawns.
The Harrison house is a brick struc-
ture, of substantial design, with ample
roof and pleasant porch overshadow-
ing the front door. carriae e-way at
the side gives access to the modest
building in the rear, where is stabbed the
one horse of the family, a big so1 rel which
Mrs. Harrison drives more than any one
else. spacious lawn spreads its green
expanse at the front and side of the house,
and is walled at the rear by the broad
leaves of q trellised grapevine, which hide
from the street the strawberry bed.
Mrs. Harrison is model hostess, and
has the fame among her social friends
here as marvellous housekeeper. She is
the same age as her husband. Her father,
DR.. Scott, was professor of chemistry in
Miami University, Ohio, where young
Ben Harrison was grad ated, and where
he won a greater prize than his degree in

helpful companion. DIR Sect is still living

and beard bear testimony To has age of IS.
Mrs. Harrison. matronly of looS, viva
cious brown eyes, dark hair without line
of gray, comely features and lips that
smile and yet are firm. has the happy gift
of making a guest feel at once at home.
She moves much in society here, and, of
course, the society that welcomes her is of
the best. She is a great favorite among
other women, and has the faculty OF max

Prepare for Dipping.
Dl INlI

Tie season of shearing will be here
presently, and that of dipping will very
soon follow. Even in the absence of scab
both sheep and laubs suffer considerably
from vermin. After shearing, the ticks
aud lice greatly annoy the lambs and
initiate against their growth develop
ment. Both lambs and sheep should be
dipped to free them from the pests and
prepare them for healthy growth conse-
quent upon young grass, mild weather
aod sunny skies. Now is good time to
prepare for the work that all may be in
readiness when the busy season is at hand
and everything calls for quick work. A
good tank in which to dip sheep may be
easily made by any one handy with saw
and hammer. Take tongued and grooved
lumber and make box feet long at the
top, and with sloping ends SO as to be 4
feet long at the bottom and about feet
wide. It may be pitched st the corners
and built on runners, so as to be moved
form place to place. The ends should be
Slated on the inside, so as TO aid the
sheep in walking out. A good dip is
made by sleeping strong tobacco leaf in
boiling hot, but rot boiling water, for
the nicotine is very volatile and is easily
evaporated with the steam. One pound
of sulphur may be added TO 10 pounds or
tobacco, but the use of lime and of ARISEN
ical com pounds is to be avoided. These
quantities will be enough for 100 gallons
of water, and the preparation is said to
be conducive to the growth of wool. 1t
should be kept at about temperature of
about 1909 whilst using, and the sheep be
kept in it long enough to become
thoroughly saturated. The same process
should be gone over again at the end of
two or three weeks, SO as to insure the
destruction of any vsrmin gathered from
fences or stumps.

Conceded by Democrat and Muswump.

Boston Herald: There is no reason why
any party man of the republicans who is
satisfied with its platform should not vote
for Mr.. Harrison. He is q pure man; he
is more than sound on the party tenets;
he has ability beyond men who have been
republican nominees for the presidency.
In the service of his party in his state he
was a decided success. 1t is no small
thing in state so carefully contested as
Indiana has been to be given the &C.
knowledged lead of the republican forces.
This was readily accorded to Mr.. Harri-
son.
Washington Post: The Chicago ticket
is strong enough for all practical purpos-
es. General Harrison is thoroughly re-
spectacle candidate, and the republicans
can elect him if they can elect anybody.
New York Post: The ticket nominated
at Chicago after such prolonged agony is
not of kind to excite much enthusiasm,
but is, nevertheless, a very respectable
one, and for this we return thanks with
out reserve OR stint to the republican con-
vention and the republican party.
New York Times: General Harrison
is a citizen of the Republic who has done
worthily such share of public work as has
devolved upon him. He was, in the first
place brave soldier. At Resaca and
Peachtree Creek he won no meager title
to military renown. There, if nowhere
else, he has shown himself worthy of his
grandsire.
Philadelphia Record: Personally, Mr..
Harrison appears to be popular enough
in his own State, although mis- defeat for
Governor in 1876 was accomplished with
out difficulty by "Biue Jeans" Williams.
He will make live canvass in Indiana,
and the Democracy will do we'll if they
succeed in carrying that State against
| him.
Springfield Republican: The Repub-
| lican convention has nominated for Pres
| ident a man whose honorable, historic
name has nevsl becn sullied; whose record
| of public service is cre6itable if not con-
| spicuous; who has the cordial good will of
/ the people of his own State, and whose
personal qualities, so far as they are yet
| known, promise no derogation from the
dignity of the Presidential Office should
he be chosen to fill it.
Harper's Weekly: General Harrison 5
nomination promises a clean canvass.
! The offensive elements Of personality
which were prominent in the campaign of
1854 are happily eliminated, and We may
fairly anticipate the discussion OF prin-
ciples and policies rather than an ex-
| change of vituperation and scandals.
This is q great gain for good politics, and
IN this respect the campaign of 1883 opens
aus piciously.
