COME TO THE WILDWOOD-
Cone to the wlldwood, onme awty,
Lease work and ears behind ;
Came, for the skies are bright ta day ;
Come, for a breath of b*'mT May
Floats on the low sweat wind.
Come, for the purple stolot blows
Upon the mossy aod ,
Cone, for the silror streamlet flows,
The coral honeys ckle glows.
The daisies sweetly nod.
Como, for iris, blue and g old,
gklaes like a fisicn fair ;
The heartsease blooms from ont the mould
Her purple velret buds unfold.
Unfoldto beauty aara
Come, for the Jeamine, sweetest flower.
Of all this Southern land.
The Queen of Spring’s enchanted hour,
la festoon, wreath, and iragrant bower,
Grows wild on overy hand.
Cijpa, for the bird* ore on the hough,
tksir songs the springtime greet ;
Now high ond shrill the notes, end now
The lunoful strain is soft end low,
And, oh, ■ is passing sweet!
Then to the wildwood come oway,
From ear# and trouble fly ;
Como while the bird ie on the spray,
Ceme. while the eky is blue sod gay,
Aad bresets wander by.
Como, let thy heart be glod ond free.
Attun’d to Notnro’e mood ;
Come No b neath the wildwoo I tree.
And dream Shy dream, whate’er U be,
In thie sweet eolitude.
The freebnese ef the early day,
WtJ> quickly disappear ,
Thy dream, eh. dreamer ! pass away —
Naught beautifu 1 an earth may stay ,
. Yet tore it while ’tis here,
Lebe I boa the blossom on the lea.
Loco t bom (bo wild birds’ song ;
If pore thy thoughts, thy fancy free,
Lore thou thy dream, wbate’er it be ;
1 Thy dream will make thee strong.
Then to tke wildwood come away,
Ita beauty is for Ikes ;
Enjoy its bloom—it must decay ;
Inhale its breath —ii may not etay
Sara in thy memory.

Rev. Sam Jones passed tiirough
Pittsburg, April 10, euroute from
his Northern lecture tour. As re
ligion aud politics seem closely al
lied these days, for want ot a bet
ter topic the Leader reporter asked
the reverend gentleman what he
thought of ClrVelaud’s chances for
renomination. “Excellent,” he re
plied. “There is no one else thought
of, despite the scheming of Bill
Scott, Barnum and Senator Gor
man. Cleveland will be uomtoa

him. The people are the power
these days. They won’t stand
any boDS dictation.”
“Well, bow about bis election f”
“He will be elected, too. No
doubt about that. In my travels
through the North I find an unani
mous sentiment lor Cleveland. It
seems to be growing and spreading.
The Republicans are alarmed and
are canting about fora sheet-anchor
for their hopes. They must get a
new issi e. The red flag, which has
been their battle cry ever siuoe
the war, will no longer serve their
purpose. The great majority of
the Southern people are loyal, and

(Fiona the Jewolert’ Weekly.)
D«> you know that there are about
eighty thousand commercial travtl
ers iu the United States! Surpris
ed to hear it! Yes, most people
are wbeu they are told of it, but it’s
a fact, nevertheless. You may also
be surprised to learn that every
one of them spends on an average
$3,000 a year, or a total of $240,000,-
000. If you add to this their salaries,
averaging at least $1,000, you have
a total expenditure by commercial
travelers of $20,000,000 a year.
This is naturally spent in ail parts
of the country; bat the hotels and
railroads got the lion’s share of it
Daring the last ten years there has
been a great change in the ebaraeter
of the commercial traveler. The
old Bohemian type has almost en
tirely disappeared from the road,
and drinking meo are much more
rarely met with there than form
erly.
An Honest Man
One day laat weak an old gentle
man—aged about 68 years—walked
into the Journal office and handed
as a dollar, balance doe on sub
scription. Ws asked him bow be
felt, and ho replied that he “wee
tired.” He bail walked all the way
from his home, fifteen miles distant,
ust to pay ua that dollar bseanse
ie had promised to pay it os that
day—thus walking thirty miies in
order to pey a debt of $1 rather
than break his promise. He is a
poor maa f bat he has been a sab-
soriberof the Journal for many
years, aod bealways pays for it, too.
