Voting Not a Right.

From the Rochester Herald
A. good many people entertain the
notion that voting is an inherent right
instead Of a privilege conferred by laws
made by men, just as the owning of
property is, and the power 10 dispose
Of it by will. Property rights are con-
ferred in the same way as IS the priv
ilege OF voting, and under the common
law the State has the right OF escheat-
ment IN regard TO the voting right a

THE WIND IN THE LEAVES.

The wind that moves among the leaves
Is some slim maiden none perceiTes.
Who eyermore her magic weaTes,

YOu hear her feet as soft as thieves;
And then the silken swish OF sleeves,
Fluttered along the forests caves,

She leans and whispers in the eaz
OF every Wild-hOwer something dear
How to protect their hearts from fear
OF dying;
Then takes the thistle's feathery sphere
And glimmers It across the mere.
Or on a cobweb trailing clear,
Goes flying
The butterfly. that comes and goes,
She tosses on the Wildwood rose;
And. standing sly on elfn toes.
She leases
The ealyXed bee that whinss then blows
Into each bud till wide il grows:
And swift the musk that IN II CLOVIS
She seizes.
Then. faeTy-fair. away she trips,
Wild perfume on her wildwood lips.
To where. with tWiBkling fnger-tips,

Dusk. waits her where the silence drirs;
There from her gown Of light she slips
And with the star Of twilight dips
The water.
