A WOMAN.

A WOMAN.
I've had his dark eyes over brmmed with
light
Fall on my face, o.,
Stay scarce moment, then indifferent go
Adrilt in space;
I've had the blood, like myriad hot. tongued
flames, rs
To my cheeks dart,
Before his eyes cold brillianoy--but that
That did not break my heart
I've known the bitterness that to him
Was simply naught
My love and had never entered in
His slightest thought.
I've seen him, careless, meet me in the crowd,
And careless part:
And though paled in anguish, yet lived
That did not break my heart
stood one evening when the opal lights
Tinted the west
A lovely woman by me leaned
A rose lay on her breast.
He paused in passing-as his eyes met hers
| saw him start,
Turn to her with one look but that
That broke my heart.

Il Ought to Have Been 1920.

Evidently the comp" who fixed a
headline in the last issue of the Hagers-
town Mail is Republican and does not
believe in the theories advanced by the
editor of that enterprising. hopeful, but
politically misguided Journal. Like
many other Democratic papers of the
country, the Mail is just now engaged in
mapping out plans by which the Demo-
cratic party can again get control Of na-
tional affairs. In a plausible and we'll
prepared article in its last issue the con-
elusion was reached thai such a result
could be attained at the next preslden-
iial election The comp" however,
displaying more political sagacity than
his boss upstairs, instead of placing 1892
at the head Of the article, as was intended
changed the figures t. read 1902. lie
should have set it, as. doubtless he. in
F'7'ssT7 t. do, l02s-75Rf, beyond doubt,
the Democracy, having been weighed in
the balance and found wanting, will not
again be in control before that time,

very good Republicans, that they had
long praye for a change. and that they
were delighted that it had come. Of
course the manly Democrats despised
them.
In several cases where changes we've
made and some of these gentlemen had

We had no respect for that class of
Republican winners. They attempted to

we're either untrue to the party under
which they had served for years, or they
attended to cheat the party under which

There are evidences that the same

In them politicians hope II 'di>cover the
nature Of the influences which are 10 be
potent with the Executive, and enemies
are on the alert for some exhibition of
poor Judgment wh;h can be used TO dis
credit at the very outset the President
who has just assumed control. In this
particular President llrrison has sur
prised the leaders of both parties by the
singular good judgment displayed. So
signal has this been as to command
measure of confidence that must be as
gratifying as it is rare Ne greater
proof Of this could have been given than
the unanimous confirmation Ct John S
Clarkson upon the same day
upon which his nomination was
sent to the Senate He had net
earned the distinction by reason of any
position he had previously held, but
owed it solely to the high reputation
which he bore as citizen. His is not
an isolated case; the names of Schuyler,
Palmer, Swift, Phelps, Kasson and
others have been hailed with satisfaction,
as bringing to the front of class Of
men who are a credit to the country, and
whose names are a sufficient guarantee
of the ability with which their duties
will be discharged 1t is interesting,
by way of contrast, to turn back four
years and see the impression which had
been created then. On the 18th of
March, 1885, Eugene Higgins was des-
ignated as appointment clerk of the
Treasury Department, aud from one end
al the country to tae other was heard
adverse criticisms upon the selection,
and fouebodings as to the results which
it presagcd. How far those anticipa-
tons were justified by subsequent events
is now II matter of history, aud it is,
therefore, not unnatural that the early
appointments of President Harrison
should receive close scrutiny. IL i,
