Whose skirts were all draggled and stained sYith
OF grasses the scythe of the years hag gone
Is marriage a failure? and turning her head,
To the long-trodden path she would never more
tread,
Lamenting her fate, with an audible sigh,
From out of her bitterness, answered me:
''Aye.''
Is Marriage failure? I asked of bride,
Who lived in the present with fuliness of pride,
Whose lips were Just meeting the flagon of wine
She must drink to the lees in her revel divine
Is marriage failure? and quick in her cheek
The happy heaTt-current was eager to speak.
Her lips were apart and her eyes were aglow,
As, out of her heaven. she answered me: NO"
Is marriage failure? I asked of a man,
Whose, volumes Of nature were read as he
ran. ~
Whose purposes in life was ''to have and to
hold
Whose passion was self and whose deity gold
Is marriage failure? and quicker he went
No moment in folly like this to be spent
But hearing full well as he FASTENED on by,
He laughed in my face and he answered me;

Is marriage a failure? asked Of a pair,
Who stood in the sunset with silvery hair,
Whose evening of life was approaching its close,
In odor of hay and in scent of the rose

Who entered the brook and kept on with its flow,
Till reaching the ocean-they answered me:

Is marriage failure? I asked of a beast,
Untouched at the hands of a hallowing priest,
Whose will was his law, whose muscle his boast,
Who looked on the world as his brothel at most
Is marriage failure? and up from his lair,
From cayerns of darkness, from fOulneSs of air,
Came loudly his savage and sensual cry,
That told of his nature and answered me: cave. -
Is marriage failure? asked of the birds,
When their music of spring they are setting to
words;
When building their houses in leafy estates
And teaching their young to be couples and
mates
Is marriage failure? and out of the grove,
Their odorous Eden of innocent love,
The singers in answer were unified so,
That echoes from everywhere uttered their
''No."
Is marriage failure? I said TO myself,
As peered in the eyes of tangle-haired elf,
And then in the graver and holer face
OF her of my bosom-thank God for His grace
Is marriage failure? and out of my breast,
In pity for all of such bondage unblest,
With every glad pulse of my being allow,
The answer came swelling, "a thousand times,
No.

he did not think there is the least danger

OF railroads in the near future.
A new road viii soon be built from this
place to New Birmingham, and the town
is now strongly advocating the road from
Troupe to the Matches, which is only
twenty or twenty-five miles from
here. Two roads are already here, and
before another twelve months shall roll
around two more new roads will likely be
completed. The surveys have already
been made, and the immense fields of
iron ore lying adjacent to this town
together with the finest water and the
most wholesome air known to southern
climes, are bound to attract capital in
the near future. Already prospectors
are here seeking to make investments.

well is GAO feet deep, Iand when the
pumps were set in motion the
water lacked 100 feet of reaching
the surface. It was quite muddy
and of rather an offensive smell and
taste, but continued to grow clearer with
the pumping, its mineral taste diminish
ing quite rapidly, indicating that the Of
fensive water was some that had stood in
the iron piping, and early this morning
the flow was that of pure, soft water of a
luile-warm temperature, and by sunset
had reached the top of the well. The
tanks of about twenty engines have been
filled up to this evening, taking about
40 600 gallons out without diminishing the
flow in the least, and the engineers who
went out yesterday report the test most
satisfactory, there being no sign of foam
ing or corrosive scalps in the boilers.

Let ms pray. Lord God of Hosts. who
holdest the destinles Of nations by Thine
hand, without whose favor we cannot pros
per; before whose frown we cannot stand;
we praise Thee for Thy signal favor to this
nation through all its history for the heri-
tage which.Thou hast given us, for the chas
tisements with which Thou had disciplined
us, for the deliverances which Thou has
granted US, and for the human instruments
through whose wisdom, courage and self
sacrifices those deliverances havecome. To-
day. Lord, our God. be with US, as Thou was
with our fathers. Guide thou the
DEsTINIEs OF THIS NATION
in the days to come. Still further urge us
from iniquity, eXalt us i'll righteousness, and
make our trust now and evermore TO be only
in Thee. Guide Thou the work this day.
May the spirit that rules this hour be not the
spirit of narrow partlsanship, but of broad
patriotism. May unworthy motives and sell
fish ambitions have no place here. May
there be no doing of evil that good may come
May there be sense of responsibility to
Thee. to whom all must give account, and
may the righteousness of this exalted nation
be conspicuously honored in the methods
of this convention and in its choice.
May it please the Almighty God
to direct the minds of men this day as they
shall propose man for the suffrages of this
great people, that those thus set forth may be
man after Thine own heart. eminent in
wisdom, spotless in character, worthy to be
exalted 10 the high dignity and to bear the
great responsibility of the highest office in
the gift of this nation, and may the final out
come of all that is here done be in further
ance of truth. of justice. of freedom, of equal
within and without. and above and beyond
all, greater glory of Thy most holy name,
which we ask through Jesus Christ,.our Lord.

1T PANIED THE ICEBERGERS.
Sherman's Vote Did Not Pan Out
as Was Hoped For.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The result was
disappointment to the Sherman people.
who had hoped that the increase in the
vote for him from Pennsylvania would
put him up to nearly 800 votes, but he
lost in other places, and the anti-Sher-
man combination began to claim that
the Ohio senator's vote would soon go
to pieces. AS the vote ON the third bal
lot proceeded there was little change in
the Sherman vote, which everybody
was watching, and there were no no
tlceable changes in the voting for the
other candidates. California continued
to cast her solid vote for Blaine, and
Massachusetts, still distributed her vote
among nearly all the candidates.
GreSham'S vote increased, but not ma
terially.
When Pennsylvania was reached,
Senator Quay announced the vote of the
state, casting SO votes for Sherman, as
before, and the other ten scattering.
Mr.. Johnston demanded a poll of the
delegation, which proceeded, much to
the
DISGUST OF THE CONVENTION.
The poll did not affect the result as
announced by Senator Quay, and the
ballot was proceeded with. AS usual.
when Virginia was reached, demand
was made that the delegation be polled.
Gen. Fairchild, of Wisconsin, made the
point of order that call for poll conld
not be made until the vote had been an
nounced and objection was made to its
correctness. Mr.. Wise arose and ex-
planned that the Virginia delegation had
been unable to get together and select
chairman to speak for the delegation.
1t had been therefore agreed that when
ever the state was reached the delega-
ton be polled. He asked for unanimous
consent that this should hereafter be
the practice. Consent was given. The
Jesuit of the ballot was then announced.
