The trembling dow-drops fall
Upon the shattered flowers like souls at
rest ;
Tho stars shine gloriously, and all,
Save me, is blest.
Mother, I lova thy grave !
The violet, with i's blossonis Blitte and mild,
Wiaves o'er thy head--when slia I it wave
Above thy child ?
'Tis a bright flower, yet must
1tq brightest leaves to the tempest bow
Dear mother, 'tis thine emblem-dust
Dust is on thy brow
And I could love in di-,
To leave untasted life's dark,bitter streams,
By thee, as erst in ohihlhoo.l. lie.
And share thy di eams.
Antl must I linger here,
To stain the plumage of ny sinless years,
Antinourn the hopes of childhood dear,
Wi'h bit ter tears ?
Aye, must I linger here,
A lonely branch upon a blnsteel tree,
Whose last frail leaf, ttntimely sere,
Went down wiith thee ?
Oft from life's withered bower,
In still conmmunication with the paet I turn,
And muse on thee, the only flower
In mrenol'lys tiln.
And when the eyehing gale
Bows like a mourner on I he di) blue wave,
I stray to heat thti Right wihds wail
Ard(fid thy grave.
Whore is thy spirit flown ?

Is on the air.

tIill tell you of an adventutre I
had one Fall, when I and Seth Heard
were hunting upon the south branch
of the Yellowbtone-:aWay ip, where
the' Vrairies arebsu broad and long

'twas rp there, boys, that I came the
nearest losing my scalp that I ever did
in my life, and tbis was tho Atay that
it enmp atogt.
* iildse that I and Sath did a little
bit of business besides trapping, up
in them parts that time. Before we
started, said &eth,'says he=-"A bel, we
can get skins better than wo can catch
'eti, and a tarnal sight easier, by buy
ing them of the redkins & we can get
'vm, for a song t so let us biy a lot of
nottonet and go out ontthe prairie and
eat u0t a shop."
"Agreed," says I, "only let us go
beyond most people that trade with
the varmints?'
Well, we bought a little o' every
thing to tickle the Indians with, and
of' we started and set up a shop on
the prairie. This was 'long in No;
vember, and for a time we (lid a
smashing business among the heath
ens. We could buy a skin worth five
dollars for a stting of beads antd a
jaekkttife, and otb'ers in proportion.
l~y-an-By tlie redskins began to get
ugly. WVe could see it in their sullen
looks ;' and thought they trraded nearly
as much a-S evet, we bs'gan to think
they meant misohief'. So Seth' and I
talked the matter over, and counclud

of our reporter for some facts, opin

sage and most financial mouth, said
half graciously, that he would answer
any questions, but that he knew noth

"the datmndest fellow for knowing

Donning his chapeau, lie followed his

man as before, seated on the root of a

"Well, my son," said the Bishop,
pleasantly. "how runs ihe luck to

"Better, better, thank you," replied
the gentleman. "I was flush with mon.

"And how does God pay you?" said
his reverence, with a pleasant smile at
the man's silly theory.
"He sends along sone rich person,

The hand camein out of the pooket withI a

Since the publ'cation of my Ifarvesq

out of the Republican party. One of
my oldest friends, who edits tho county
printing in Bellefontaine, his g ono and
dol'e it. He did it with tears, but duty
dibiged, and with Roman firmness ho
eobut.ed his task and me. I was not
soikHi.on protection, and had adjravat
ed my crime by conmenting on the
thieves in our party who are sound on
protection. It was painful, but it had
to be done. So much Roman firmness
in so small a place is woliderful. It
di'lit Lo be bottled.
I ventured to tell our friends in
Washington last winter that unless they
cheapefled inanufactlired articles, and so
enhanced the price of agricultural prol
ducts and lightened taxation, we could

my friends got nervous and insinuate
that I am anxious for a defeat, liko a
