From the Kansas City Star.
"Suppose," Mr.. Stone said, ssthat
the Democrats Of Missouri failed to
declare for national expansion and
that the Republicans did 30, then the
1000 troops from Missouri, who went
to the war, most of whom II Demo-
Gratis and will return in time to vote
this fall or in 1900, would say: 1--WE
went to the war and fought and en-
dured great hardships and many were
killed to win from Spain, with a view
Of permanently acquiring it, that rich
territory for America, and now you
wish to deprive the United States oil
it. We will leave the party thai
seeks to deprive Us of the lands We
fought for and will vote for that party
which says it will stand by what WI
won"
Stone said that he was for 16 to 1
but the Democratic party could d.
nothing with the free silver idea II !
eliminated the expansion idea from it
platform. Annexation of the con
quered Spanish territory, he said, wa
bound to result in free trade and grea
growth of the American merchan
marine and extension of our forelg

THE RAINBOW.
to Mary 8. White, Southampton
Long Island, MY. |
The evening was glorious, and light
through the trees
Played the sunshine and rain-drope,
the birds and the breeze;
The landscape, out-stretching in love-
liness, lay
On the lap Of the year, In the beauty
of May.
For the Queen of the Spring, as she
pass'd down the vale,
Left her robe on the trees, and her
breath On the gale;
And the smile of her promise gave JOY
to the hours,
And flush, In her footsteps, sprang
heritage and flowers.
The skies, like q banner, In sunset un-
rolled,
Der the west threw their spiendor of
azure and gold;
But one cloud at a distance rose dense
and increas'd
Till it's margin of black touch'd the
zenith and east.
We gaz'd on the scenes, while around
rs they giow'd,
When q vision of beauty appear'd Oh
the cloud
Twas not like the sun, as at mid day
we view,
Nor the moon, that rolls nightly
through star light and blue.
Like a spirit, 1t came in the van of Q
storm,
And the eye and the heart hailed iti
beautiful form:
For it LOOKED not severe, like an ange
of wrath,
But it's garments of brightness illum'G
its dark path.
In the hues of Its grandeur sublimely
it stood,
Der the river, the village, the field
and the wood;
And river, field, village, and wood
lands grew bright,
As conscious they gave and afforde'
delight.
Twas the bow of Omnfpotence, ben
in his hand,
Whose grasp at creation the univers
spann'd;
Twas the presence of God, in symbo
sublime;
His vow from the food to the exit O
Time!
Not dreadful, as when in whirlwin
i. he pleads,
When storms are his chariot, an
Iightnings his steeds,
The black clouds his banner of ven
i geance, unfurled,
And thunder his voice to q guilt
,, stricken world;
In the breadth of his presence, whe
thousands expire,
And seas boil with fury, and roch
i burn with fire,
And the sword, and the plague -spo
with death strew the plain,
And vultures and wolves are tn
graves of the slain.
) Not such was the rainbow, that beaut
full ouel
' Whose arch was %refraction, its key
!, stone the sun;
A pavilion, 1t seemed, which the Deit
graced,
. And justice and mercy met there ar
embraced.
K Awhile, and ii sweetly bent over Il
i'll gloom,
Like love DER a death couch, or hol
ell DER the tomb;
Then left the dark scene, whence
slowly retired,
AS love had just vanished, or hol
h had expired.
Q I gaze not alone on that source of n
song;
,, To all who beheld it, these vers
belong;
. It's presence to all was the path of Il
Lord!
= Each full heart expanded-grew war
vi and adored.
Like q vlsit-the converse of friends
I'll or a day,
y That bow, from my sight, passed TO
vol ever away:
j. Like that visit, that converse, tn
ls day, to my heart,
n. That bow from remembrance G.
Iy never depart.
n TITS a picture in memory, distinct
d defined
With the strong and unperishing colo
IL of mind:
A part of my being, beyond my co
' troll,
d Beheld on that cloud, and transcrib
on nv soul.
