Say, wilt thou think of me when Pm away,
Borne from the threshold and laid in the clsy,
Fast and unheerd Of for many day?


Wilt thou remember me when am gone
Further each year from the vision withdraw n
Thou In the sunset, and in the dawn
Wilt thou remember me, when thou shelt see
Daily and nightly eEcompassing thee,
Hundreds of others, but nothing of me-
All thas ask is gem in thine eyes
Biting and thinking when TO one is by.
shus looked he on me-thus rang his reply
IT'S not to die, though the path be obscure;
Vast though the peril. there's One can secure
Grand Is the conflict, the victory sure;
But It's to feel the cold touch of decay,
lis to look back on tho wake of ones way
Fading and vanishing day after day
This is the bitterness none can be spared
This, tho oblivion the greatest have shared
This, the true death for ambition prepared.
Thousands are round us, toiling as We,
Living and loving-whose lot is TO DO
Past and forgotten, like waves on the seu
Once in u lifetime is uttered word
That doth not vanish as soon as It's heard
Once in an ago is humanity stirred;
Once in century springs forth deed
From the dark bands of fforgetfulness freed
Destined to shine, and to bless, and TO lead.
Yet not ey n thus escape we our lot
The deed lasts in rnemory-the doer is not,
The word liveth on, but the voice is forgot
Who knows the form OF the mighty of old
Can bust or can portrait the spirit unfold,
Or the ligh ofthe csc by description be told
Nay, even He who our ransom became
Bearing the cross, and despising the shame
Earning name above every name.
They who had handled Him when He was here,
Kept they in memory His lineaments clear
Would they command them at will toappear
They who had heard Him and lived in His


voice,


Say, could they always recall TO their choice
The tone and the cadence which made then, re-


joice.


Be we content, thon, to pass into shade.
Visage and voice in oblivion laid,
And live in the light that our actions have


made.

General McCook, the nominee of the
Democratic Convention for Governor,
made a speech of acceptance which
shows the calibre of the man. A more
juiceless stick, intellectually, could
hardly have been picked from among
the Democrats of any prominence in
Ohio. If anything can be gathered
from his inane remarks it is that he
don't take the departure-much. The
State Journal thus epitomizes the speech
of the General:


"GeneraI McCook was introduced to
the Convention, and thanked them for
the honor conferred upon him, and the
confidence shown by the nomination.
His political opinions and views were
pretty well known; they had not been
formed il a day; his views upon the
three constitutional amendments-but
time would forbid his discussing them
! now. But he considered the thirteenth
amendment as the legitimate result OF
the first gun fired at Sumpter, and the
only doubt thrown upon its constitu-
tionality had been caused by the friends
of the black people who had called the
Southern States military departments
Now, as to the XVIII amendment IA
voice-"How about the XIVth amend
ment?'] I pass the melange of the
XIVth amendment with its particulari-
ties, etc. But the XVIII amendment
was not passed in the exigency of a mil
itary campaign, but merely to serve a
political end, and the evil will only be
remedied by having hereafter Democrat
.ic Congresses. Suppose it should be re-
pealed. No repeal could ever take away
the benefits given under its provisions,
for the whole vote could not be taken
from the black man. Then why should
the Democracy divide and depart or
quarrel over its provisions? I will not
discuss the Fourteenth Amendment, it
is full Of cIap-trap. God knows that the
Democracy don't want to assume the
debt of the Southern people, for we have
undertaken enough. I have not studied
your platform, and do not know the
precise provisions contained in it, but
understand it to have been adopted by
large majority. And when the Con-
vention comes together it is understood
that the decision of the majority shall
stand as the decision of the Convention,
and think no temper or fraetiousness
should be shown. It was understood
by the Democracy of the State that no
outbreak should be made against the
different amendments to the Federal
Constitution. I thank you again for the
honor conferred upon me, of being the
standard-bearer in this campaign which
shall witness the victory Of the Democ-
raey in this Stats" 2"

Under the new law which gives to suf-
ferers by the sale of intoxicating liquors
the right to recover damages sustained
by the sale of liquor to husbands, the
women are doing more to prohibit the
flow of whisky than all the laws put to-
gether that have ever been placed upon
the statute books of Ohio. All over the
State, the poor unfortunate wives and
children of drunken husbands and
fathers are avaiIing themselves of the
benefits of this law, to defend themselves
from threatened starvation. The law is
a good one, and no one need fear its
penalties unless he wishes to violate the
law, and sell to his neighbor that which
beggars his family and steals from him
his senses and makes him lower than
the ebrute.-TColumbus Gazette.

Upon the subject of circulating
Republican newspapers, the follow
ing from the New York Tribune is
eminently appropriate, and should
commend itself to the thoughtful
and active consideration Of leading
Republicans in every township in
the county.

ceived and read.-Push your county
or village paper in ease it is well
conducted, but some good Republic
can paper at any rate.-If the head
of that family will subscribe and
pay for it, so much the better, but
if not, and he will accept and read
it, send it to him anyhow.

Jefferson Davis needs hanging. His
incendiary speeches are disgraceful to
himself, the age, and the Democratic
party which fosters his mad ideas. He
ought to be booted out of the land he is
not worthy to live in, and deprived Of
the liberty which he seems to be unable
to appreciate.-[Marysville Tribune.

brother Shearer. Better spare his life
and punish him more effectuaIly, by let.
ting him spout his vile treason, and using
him as an lawful Example" of the

Go, lovely Uosel
Tell her that wastes her time and me,
That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet aud fair she seems to be.


Tell her that's young
And shuns to have her graces spied,


That had'st thou sprung
In deserts where no men abide,
Thou must have uncommended died.


Small is the worth
Of beauty from the light retired;


Bid her come forth
Suffer herself to be desired,
And not blush so to be admired.


Then die, that she
The common fate of all things are


May read in thee
How small a part Of time they share
That are SO wondrous sweet and fair.

young man in the choice Of a wife,

To give some idea Of the insincerity
of the Democracy when they make moan
about the heavy taxes and their corrupt
application, we give the following, taken

ocratic administration:

A NOVEL GARDEN The young King
of Bavaria has an immense garden on
the roof of his palace AT Munich which
is said to rival the celebrated hanging
gardens of Semiramis In the center of
it there is lake with fishes and swans
swimming in it, and this is surrounded
by woods in which there are various
animals and birds, and also rock-work
and grottoes. The rocks had to be hol-
lowed out before transporting them to
the roof, the better to enable the build
ing to bear their weight. There is in
the center of the garden sort of tent or
pavilion of great magnifcence. which no
one but the King ever enters. The
apartments under the palace roof were
formerly occupied by the ladies of honor,
but they have been converted into
stables, because too much time was re-
quired to hoist horses to the roof when
ever the King wished to ride or drive
through this fairy-like resort.

road put an end to the regular running

gated large number of passengers in n

dressed, his garments having the appear

President Buchanan 1t was subse-

preacher was an Iowa member of Con-

discovery created no little comment

Remarkable Speech of Ihe Pope
His Holiness not Worn Ont nor
Weary.


1t has already been made known that
q 900 male citizens of Rome affixed
their names, with their address and oc-
cupation, to a letter to the Pope, ex-
pressing their grief at the occupation OF
Rome by the italian government, and
their anxiety to see the Pope restored to
his former independence. When this
address, with its $1,000 signatures, was
presented to the Pope the other day, he
made very remarkable speech, of which
the following is translation:


Yes, it is most true, and let us render
glory TO God and thanks to God for max
ing It thus manifest that Rome has been
true to herself. Heaven grant that
never may it have to be said Of her,
"Woe unto thee Choraizin, woe unto
thee Bethsaida, for if the mighty things
had. been done in Tyre and Sidon which
have been done in thee, they would
long ago have repented in sack-cloth
and ashes; therefore it shall be more
tolerable in the day of judgment for
Tyre and Sidon than for you." MOI
never can such words apply to Rome.
The spirit of honor and loyalty
which held you close bound to
me, which in the midst Of overflow
ing evil keeps you in the straight path
of Justice with such abundant courage,
renders yoA worthy subjects Of this Holy
City, empurpled with the blood of her
noble martyrs, and rendered illustriOus
by the heroic virtue Of her multitude of
confessors. The good works to which
you devote yourselves with so great zeal,
your labors for the maintenance and diff
fusion of religion, viii assuredly earn
for you the blessings of God and the ap-
plause of all men of piety, not TO say of
all the Just and upright. May God
keep you ever faithful to your good in
tentions and preserve you from contami-
nation of the evils which have over
flowed this city. With my whole
affection / pour out my benediction
upon you and upon your families, and
bless all those who now, being out Of
Rome, are prevented from snbjoining
their names as they could wish.
Men have said that / am worn out

ing the iniquity, injustice and disorder
around us; j am weary Of the insults Of
fered day by day to religion in this city,
which was wont to shine before the world
