The Democratic press profess to
find much encouragement in the re-
suit of the elections. That is the
correct attitude. There is a vast

everybody in the result of the cleo

They are a cheerful lot. They can

There is talk that possibly Spoon

Nonsense! The fellows that didn't
want Spooner returned are not in a
position to prevent it. They are not

Antony and Cleopatra.

l am dying, Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson 1ife-tide FAST
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast;
Let thine arms o Queen, enfold me!
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear
Listen to the great heart-secrets,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear
Though my SCARED and veteran leg1ons
Bear their eagles high no more
And my wrecked and scattered galEeys
Strew dark Actium's fatal shore;
Though no glttering guards surround me-
Prompt to do their masters will,
l must perish like a Roman,
Die the great Triumvir still.
Let not Caesars servile minions
Mock the Lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that felled him
Twas his that struck the blow;
His, who, pillowed on thy bosom,
Turned aside from glory's ray
His, who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly threw a world away.
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assai1 my name at Rome,
Where my noble spouse, Octav1a
Weeps within her widowed home,
Seek her. say the gods bear witness
Affairs, augurs, circling wings
That her blood, with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne of kings
AS for thee, stareyed Egyptian!
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path to Stygian horrors
With the splendors of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel Irvine;
can scorn the senate's triumphs,
Triumphing in love like thine.
1 am dying, Egypt, dying;
Hank! the insulting foemans cry.
They are coming! quick, my falchion!
Let me front them ere die.
All! no more amid the battle
Shall my heart exulting swell
Isis and Osiris guard thee
