the Democrats should control that
body. His ambition is a worthy one,
but unfortunately for him, he is man

Democrats will continue to be in sad

much, and the average of the indi-

My schoolroom lies on the meadows wide.
Where under the clover the sunbeams
hide;
Where the long vines cling to the messy
bars,
And the daisies tumble like falling stars;
Where clusters of buttercups gild the
scene,
Like showers of gold-dust thrown over
the green.
And the winds flying footsteps are
traced they pass
BY the dance of the sorrel and dip of the
grass.
My lessons are written In clouds and

And no one whispers except the breeze,
Who sometimes blows from secret
place,
A stray, sweet blossom against my face.
