Wake the better soul that slumbered

And, like phantoms grim and tan,

Dance upon the parlor wall
Then the forms of the departed
Enter at toe open door,
The beloved ones, the true-hearied,
Come to visltme once more.
H., the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife,
by The roadside fen and perished.
Weary with the march of lifel
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
SpalSc with us ON earth no morel.
And with them the being beauteols
Who unto my youth was given.
More than all things else to love me,
Aud is nova saint in heaven.
With slow and noisless footstep
Comes that messenger divine,
'ia@os tne vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine;
And she sits and gazes at me
with those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars, so still and saint like,
Loofing downward from the skies.

Is the spirits voiceless prayer.

In comparatively short time the

point Is that the Montana horse 10
well adapted 10 the work which bis
heavy brother cannot endure, without
wearing out, aud the people down
there have found it out. Therefore
The farmers are getting one or more

OHIO, dispatch says: John Sherman,
who is in the city, on hearing that Mr..
Blaine would not allow his name TO be
used before the Chicago convention,
said that he had been expecting some
such uttersnce from Mr. Blaine for
some time. He had understood that
IL would be forthcoming. Mr.. Blaine
was one OF the foremost Americans
whom every Republican would have
delighted to honor, and il is source
of regret that he had not concluded to
make the race again.
Mr.. Sherman did not care to talk
much about the Blaine. letter and
thought 1t would cause o number OF
othe. candidates to come to the front.
He proposed 10 take the race for the
Ohio delegation and would contest
honorably for the nomination.
Mr.. Blaine was Republican that
could sweep the country If nominated
but he had understood all along that
he would not seek the nomination
again. 1t was on this hypothesis thai
Sherman had entered the list.
