The man himself is of no conse-

simply as an indication Of the almost
incredible degeneration and demoral-
ization OF the democratic party. The
feeling Of national patriotism seems to
be dying in it. 1t shows sullen and
factious opposition to progress and a
delirious insistence upon fantastic evils.

SWEET SEPTEMBER.


o tell me. have you seen her,
This brown-haired love of mine?
They call her sweet September,
And she is all divine.
A painter is my lady,
And, o, such heavenly skill!
One little touch of her white hand
Can color all the hill.
I saw her yesterday morning
Pass down along the lane;
The woodbine turned its leaves to red
To see her face again
The wild crab apple on the tree
Felt warmer pulses stir;
The orchard ard the forest leaves
Went blushing all for her.
She crossed the new-mown meadows,
Her pallet in her hand,
And colors Of the rainbow fell
Upon the happy land.
She touched the sumac with her breath
To scarlet red it turned;
And all the hedge-rows by the lane
With gold and scarlet burned.
