("Thls beautiful poem," says the Buffalo
twas sent TO the Commercial by
q Buffalo lady with the statement that II
was written by Longfellow In 1864, after the
tragic death Of his wife, and has never ap-
peared In his collected poems. As u genera

has long since passed away, our correspon-
dent thinks 1t not unlawful 70 reproduce the
touching lines which express so tenderly the
loneliness Of o human soul beresved Of its
Alone walk the peopled city,
Where each seems happy with his own;
Oh. friends, ask not for your pity
walk alone.
No more for me yon lake rcjoices,
Though moved BY loving airs Of June:
Oh, birds, your sweet and piping voices
Are out Of tune.
In vain for me tho elm tree arches
Its plumes In many a feathery spray;
In vain the evenings starry marches.
And sunllt day.
In vain your beauty, summer flowers;
Ye cannot greet those cordial eyes:
They gaze on other fields than ours
On other skies.
The gold Is rifled from the Golfer.
The blade is stolen from the sheath;
Life has but one more boon to offer,
And that is-death.
Yet we'll know the voice Of duty,
Therefore, life and he aith must crave,
Though she who gave the world Its beauty
Is In her grave.
I live, o lost one! for the living
Who drew their earlier life from thee,
And walt until with glad thanksgiving,
shall be FREQ.
For life to me Is as station
Wherein apart traveller stands
One, absent long from home and nation,
In other lands.
And am he who stands and listens,
Amid tho twilight's chill and gloom,
To hear approaching In the distance
Until come.
In yonder fields arc children playing,
And there-oh! vision Of delight

In robes Of white.

Stealing the treasures one by one;

The latest discovery recorded is
that Admiral Sampson Is Democrat,
as are most OF the officers Ut the. navy.
The manner 10 which he has been
favored by the administration, how
ever, over Admiral Schley, led the
whole country to believe he was Re-
publican, and one who had q very
strong pull at Washington. But 1t Is
by no means certain that Sampson is q
Democrat, as he has not made any
avOwal to that effect.

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.

~~'uws" tnyJ StaTs
What a great pity 1t Is the Southern
whites and Southern negroes cannot
be let alone to work out their own SAL
vation. They understand each other,
and could get along all right but for
the interference Of outsiders who do
not understand the situation. The
white mans disposition to rule his
country Is just as great now as 1t was
at the close OF the war, and his deter.
minatiOn has not abated either. The
negroes understand this, and II let
alone they would submit peacably to
1t, and this would always end the con-
troversy, because there Is no conten.
tion between them. Right or wrong,
the Caucasian race has always ruled
where it had the power. or in other
words, 1t Is going to find the power,
and in the end, the subordinate race
will have to yield. The Caucasian Of
the Southern States of this Union Is
not different from the rest of the race,
the world over. For colored men to
undertake to rule a northern State,
would prove just as disastrous as 1t
proves In the South. There is a much
more kindly feeling In the hearts of
Southern people for negroes than can
be found 10 the Northern hearts, for
they have grown up together, and
each understands the other, but when
the Southern negro gets fred up to q
state OF arrogance by Northern peo-
pie, and led to believe It his right and
duty to rule over and control his
white friends he Is on dangerous
ground, on what has proven time and
again untenable ground, and the soon.
er the whole country realizes that the
Southern whites and blacks can set.
tie their difficulties themselves, or
rather that they can keep out Of dif.
ticulties, II left alone the better 1t
will be for both races, because it has
to come to this at last.

SUNDAYS OF LONG AGO.

Some OF the sweetest memories Of
childhood cluster around the Sunday
evenings in the old home, that were
sO a'ss -""t from any others of the
week, says the Charlestv N~... and
Courier. In fact, the whole day stOOu
SO apart from work days that we used
to fancy we could recognize Sunday.
had We lost all count Of the days, by
the sense Of peace and Quietude that
seemed to pervade all nature. This
is especially noticeable In the country,
where the sights and sounds Of labor
cease, and the cattle appear to enjoy
the rest as well as do men. One never
sees such golden sunsets as we used to
watch on Sunday evenings 10 the long
ago, when the sun sank to rest behind
the distant mountain amidst a glory
that seemed to our childish eyes like
the opening OF the gates of the Celes.
tial City for the admission Of the
spirits OF the blest. How many of
those who were by our side then have
since passed beyond their portals
And then, when night came and the
mother gathered the children around
her TO sing the evening hymns, there
may not have been much music In the
unframed childish voices, but the
echo of them fingers 10 the heart and
memory long after the finest music
ever heard on earth may be forgotten.
ThUse who rob their children OF such
sweet recollections as these, by teach
ing them to disregard the Sabbath,
are taking from them one Of the most
precious associations Of youth.

The GOOD OLD LAZY MAN.
~. OAK

know a dear old lazy man
Who roams about all day.
Whose head is full of happy thoughts
And pleasant things to say.
He wande,7s through the sunny streets,
And fingers here and there
TO watch the children whom he meets.
Or smooth some baby's hair.
And when he finds lonely child
Or one that's fretful grown,
He takes it gently by the hand
AS though 1t were his own.
And hand in hand they stroll away
Along the pavement wide.
First down the block. and then across
Then up the other side.
He helps the children at their games,
And knows why each one wins,
He tells just what day top-time enos
And marble-time begins.
He is no myth from fairyland.
Nor prince in pauper's clotheAs
But just a dear old lazy man.
Whom everybody knows.
And il you keep a sharp lookout,
And note each one you meet,
Some day you'll see the lazy man
Come strolling down your street.

Riches ON Sulphur Greek.

Riches ON sulphur Creek.
The following letter has been received
by C. W. Chamberlin, of Seattle, WASH,
from Joseph Green, colonel of the First
regiment of the national guard OF
Washington, and an influential business
man, who left here in July last for the
Klondike by way of Taiya and the
Chilkoot pass.
II arrived here on August % in good
shape, without any serious accident,
though 1 had quite an experience. l
ran my boat through the canyon and
portrayed the White Horse rapids, as
my boat was not long enough to run
through without great risk of getting
everything wet. Nearly all who came
up with me on the steamer Alki are now
here, or will be in few days. This
is my first chance to send out a letter.
This is lively camp, and all who de-
sire to do we'll are making money.
Wages are ten dollars day for common
labor, SIS for mechanics and SIS at the
mines; but grub is very high here now.
Almost everybody carries a sack of
gold dust, and passes it over to the clerk
purchase. Every kind of gambling
game is running wide open. \ man sits
down to any kind of game he desires,
passes his sack to the dealer, and names
the number of chips he desires and
plays away. Games run pretty high,
too-up into the three figures. Every
one seems to have a plenty of dust.
Everybody looks alike so far as cloth
ing is concerned. The richest mine
owners will compare favorably, in wear
ing apparel, to the common tramps of
Seattle.
II haven't been idle since I arrived
here, / can assure you. I have staked out
town lot in the resident portion of
this fair city, 5Ox6O feet in size. On the
second day after my arrival went out
on a stampede and staked out claim on
Sulphur creek. This creek is As miles
from Dawson. It was only recently
discovered. Every claim on it has been
located. Only two claims have been
worked any yet, but they are proving
quite good. I saw two men with a
rocker at work On one of them, and they
took out $125 in three hours. On the
other claim, held by Whittemore, who
used to be employed in the King county
courthouse at Seattle, and three other
men, they took out with sluice boxes in
two weeks about $4,000 and found one
nugget, which saw, which weighed
$9.15. The claim 1 staked is only a
short distance down the creek from this
one. 1 am certain that it will prove
good. If my grub arrives soon will
put in zine months this winter work
ing it. I will put in some work anyway
on what grub can buy in case the
