A Terrible Tenderness.
NeacpOrt Express.

There seems to be terrible tender
ness everywhere in regard to official
positions this year. 1t looks as if there
were good many independent ideas
abroad, that do not wish to be so in
dependent as to incur the displeasure
of somebody whose support will be
wanted at a future time if not now.
There are some less than 100, 1000 can
didates in the field and each one wants
to be considered good fellow by all
the rest. How to do this and yet give
unmistakable evidence of superior abil-
ity to the practical voter, by taking
positive ground on the vital issues of
state policy is the troublesome thing
with most of them.

eventually lead you tor deny the iden-

must remember that the warning "be
sure your sin will find you out" is as
true in your case as it was in the time
when it was first uttered.

The horror of it all seemed the greater,
coming as it did just before the close of the
war. Nearly every one Of the i, 200 men
who went down had served for years in the
Union army. They had escaped shot and
shell, sickness and privation and all the
accidents that war brings in its train and
were at last returning home to be greeted
as heroes by expectant wives and sweet
hearts and mothers and sisters. Many OF
them had Just come from Confederate priS-

All were looking forward to happy home

THAT NIGHT.

james Enteomb Ritey.
You and I. and that night, with it perfume and
glory
The scent OF the locusts-the light Of the moon;
And the yiolins weaving the walters story.
Enrneshing their feet in the wen OF the tune,
Till their shadows uncertain
Reeled round on the curtain,
while under the trellis We drank in the June.
Soaked through with the midnight the eedars
were sleeping,
Their shadow tresses outlined In the bright
Crystal, moon smitten mists, where the fountains
heart, leaping
Forever,
Forever, forever burst, full with delight;
And its lisp on my spirit
Fell faint as that near Ii
Whose love like lily bloomed out In the
night
o, your glove was an odorous sachet Of blisses!
The breath of your fan was breeze OF athay!
And the rose at your throat was nest OF spilled
kisses.
And the music--in fancy. I hear il to-day,
As sit here, eonfesstng
Our secret and blessing
My rival who found US, and waltzed You away
