Rests like a blessing there. . There's a soul-bewildering glory : A In the far depths of the sky,” ’Gainst whose volu]ptnous azure The snowy cloudlets lie. , o The distant hills are covered ' ! With amethystine sheen, . The trees amid its dimness, Stand stately and rerene. : _ Thou ghalt sbonbehuld. o Snmmer, : ) A land surpassing fair; Breath of flowers and balm of spices ¢ Float on the amber alr. e 'The proud crown of tl;e DM ten . ) o S‘ot\)\:ess trown-r%\mc sunny eky; ‘ "he bird of wondrous beauty- : - Onshining wing sweeps by, = ——— There blooms the mowir orange; And the tendrils of the vine, Hung thick with ¢rimson clusters, Amid its branches twine.

TRACY’S SECOND WIFE. *What makes you so late to-night, Tracy ¥ Frank Tracy laughed and reddened ‘alittle as his room-mate, Howard Leigh, carelessly put the question. ‘Blushing, eh?’ pursued the latter, with 'a spice of mischievous malice in his voice, ‘then; of course, I am to con- | clude that you have been in the charming eociety of some young lady.’ “You're partially right,” said Tracy, lightly, ‘but the lja%y is a very little lady. To tell you the truth, I have been spending the evening at Mrs. \Walton’s and playing with: that charming baby of hers. I never saw sucha little Hebe in all my life, Why, I could have set for hours with that baby on my knee,’ : ! ‘Then I am to conclude that she neither chewed your cravatends nor jerked your watch chzin, to say nothing of crying !’ ; ‘Not a bitof it. She’s the most perfect little piece of flesh and blood I ever saw in my life. If I thought she would grow up half as pretty as she is now, upon my life I'd wait for her!” . ‘And what would Leonore Warren | say ¥’ ‘ = ‘Ah, what indeed! I amglad you’ve recalled me to'loyalty, though Leonore can’t very well be jealous of my tiny flirtations with Mrs. Walton’s baby.—Heigho, I sometimes think I've made a mistake in engaging myself to Leo‘nore Warren. She is as beautiful as an angel,and yetsomehow we don’t seem to be congenial.” = ‘Rather late to think about that, I should imagine, when the wedding day. is fixed and pasaage taken in the European steamer for the wedding tour.— By the way, Frank, how long shall. you remain in Europe ¥’ . ‘I can’t say, some years I believe.— Leonore thinks a residence in Paris will be delightful. I don’t agree with her, but brides, you know, are privileged to have their own way.. Il tell you what, Howard, the prettiest pick coral in Naples shall be sent to bang around the ivory neck of Mrs: Wal. ton’s baby.’ : : ‘Frank how fond you are of children ! e ‘_ ~ ‘You’re wrong there, my boy—ll am not fond of children, generally speaking, but I don’t know who could help loving that little brown-eyed seraph.’ Fravk took up the newspaper as he spoke, and the conversation gradually ~merged into the all-entrancing subject of politics, foreign and domesticr. - Twenty years have ebbed and flowed in the broad chanuel of time, and Mr. and Mrs. Tracy had just taken possession of their elegant home after their long residence abroad. It was evening. :The gilded clock on the mantel pointed to the hour of seven, the fire burned eclearly iu the ornamented grate, and the flowers in the several vases on each side of the chim-ney-piece, ‘were scarcely brighter in their lines than the pictured blossoms of the superb velvet carpet. Frank “Tracy, who had changed from a handgsome youth into a tall stately man of about forty, stood thoughtfully before the fire, while his languid, faded-look-. ing wife, reclined on a sofa in the lustrous shine of the glowing chandeliers. There was only one guest present to break the monotony of the corjugal tete-a-tete, and he was our old ac~ quaintance, Howard Leigh. B ‘I do wish, Frank, you wouldn’t keep drummingwith your fingers on’ the mantle, it makes me so nervous; but, ot course, you do not care for that,’ exclaimed Mrs. Tracy petulantly. ‘Why don's the servant bring up the chocolate I’ pursued Mrs, Tracy, elevatin%eyebrovys.: S T ! | ~ ‘Shall Iring and ¢nquire ?? *No, it isn’t worth while. ' If we only had remained iu la belle Paris, where the- servants understood their business.’ e e s ‘Then you preferred Paris as a residence'said Leigh, . = ¢ ‘O, by all means, but Fraok never mos urd whim of his, retu < | ‘You forget, Leonore,’ said Frank,
somewhat gravely, ‘that America is our home.’ - : ‘ Mrs. Tracy tossed het head, and took refuge in-a bottle of smelling salts. . Her husband turned carelessly to Leigh and resumed the eonversation that her pemlance,fhad disturbed. - ‘I bavn’t asked yet whether my old acqnaintances, the Waltons, are liv: ing or dead.' You have not forgotten, my penchant for the beautiful baby ? ‘O, the Waltons disappeared long ago from the current of New York life. He failed, or something, and blew his brains out, I believe. La belle was sent, I understood, to an orphan asylum, where she has already sprouted up into a gawky, red-haired woman.’ Tracy was silent a moment, contemplating upon the sad facility with which people slip from the cares and memories of their friends in the whirl of large cities, ' T : All at’ once the door was thrown open, and two or three rosy little ckildrertbounded into the room, - with long shiccog curls baoging on their white gho;ldere, and eyes 'l in' a sparkle with “iufantive merriment: i ~ ‘Don't:you come near me, you noisy little monsters,” lisped Leonore, waviug thom away with her snowy, jewell. ed band; ‘you’ll ¢rush my silks and laces' ruigously.’ - No word of reproof, however, fell from Frank Tracy’s lips as the little ones climbed on his knee’and hung around his neck. Those children were the sunshine of his life. He endured his wife, but he idolized his children. . > . ‘Poor Tracy, it's quite plain to see that he is not happy,’ said Leigh, that evening, as he was taking his ease within his cosy home circle. ‘That wife of his is enough to. drive a man distracted. I wonder he don’t commit guicide, - :
And 80, some days afterwards, when the sudden death of Mrs. Tracy was announced in the newspapers—ailment, disease of the heart-—his first ‘thought was— o o ‘What a lucky thing for Frank.”. It was scarcely’ a year after Mrs. Tracy’s decease, and the widower was sitting alone in his study, when Howard Leigh was announced. . *+*Well, my dear friend,” was the gmiling salution, ‘what news do you bring gxe?’ [ s _ ‘Capital news !’ said Leigh. ‘Do you know I have just' engaged a splendid governess, for your children? = - I am heartily glad of .it; the little rebels are getting quite beyond 'my management. They need some gentle, affectionate female influence.’ ‘And they’ll have it. ' This is one the finest girls I,ve seen for a long ime. She has been teaching in academy, but thinks she should prefer a situation in some ' private family.— She is all grace and gentle dignity—a jewell of a governess.’ ‘I am delighted at your success.— When will she come to take charge of my .children 7" e ' - “This evening. BuatT haven’t told you the strangest coincidence of all ! Who do you suppose she is? ‘Her name is Agnes Walton ; she is thesame whom you took such a fancy to in the days of her babyhood. I can tell youshe don’t know you werean old beau of hers, else she would shrink from assuming this responsible situation in your family !’ o ‘Nonsenge ! said- Tracy, half embarraseed. ‘Butl am sorry she is re‘duced to the wretched life of governess.’ Nothing more was said on the subject, and several times that afternoon it reeurred to Frank Tracy’s mind.— He wished he could see her. The gas had been lighted, however, and toe little girls were safely tucked up in bed, after having said their prayers, before the new governess was ‘announced. e ’
‘Miss Walton, pray be seated.’ * He saw at the first glance that the pretty baby had grown into an exquisitely lovely girl of twenty-two, with soft tender eyes like-a Madonna, and ‘gad, quivering lips. Poor Agne:i—she had been so much accustommed to rebuffz and cold neglect at the hands of the world, that Mr. Tracy’s chivalric politeness of affected her neaaly to tears. = He noticed it ; he observed the delicate shy resinement and the timid glances faom beneath her lashes.— ‘Frank Tracy’ was a great physiogno~ mist, and drew his own inference from those things. After a few. gentle questions he asked : - ‘But, Miss Walton, why did you leave the Academy ?’ ‘ ‘The principal was harsh and unkind to me and the place was noisy.— O, sir, if you knew how I have hungered and thirsted for a quiet home ¥’ ‘My dear Miss Walton,” he said, smiling, ‘I commissioned my friend Howard Leigh to find a gov: ernegs for me, but I am in much more need of a wife, I think you would suit me in that capacity., Will you accept of the home as a permanent engagement, and me as an encumbrance thereof 7’ : ' : Agnes looked a moment into his kind eyes, .and then placed her little _hand confidingly in his and gaid : ‘I e o ' And thus concluded their extremely brief courtship. Yet when Frank told ‘her of the years he had secretly worshipped at the shrine of ‘Mrs. Walton’s pretty baby,’ she didn’t think it so very strange after all. Thus it was that Frank Tracy married his beautiful second wife, and the little ones, instead of a governess got a mama, whom little Minnie eonfidingly informed her sister, ‘she liked a great deal better than the old mama who was afraid of having her hair or collar disarranged, while new mama liked to have her daunghters bug and kiss her.’ Lo T : And Howard Leigh was satisfied that his friend had married the right person at last, o

A Woman’s Views of Politics. “The most important question to an American cifizen to day is, what is the mission of our country? Why has God geen fit to faver his aid to the rise and spread of this great republic? What isthe duty of Anercans in view of their marked position and their inestimable advantages ? Not surely to accomplish party ends; not to exalt our advantages for purely selfish purposes. The great blessings which we enjoy asa people were not bestowed upon us to use as party passions and party prejudices, dictate, on the contrary,they are like the talents sent to the Master’s servants, in the parable, they involve deep responsibilties, they must be accounted for. They must yield a fair return or the Master will pronounce sentence of condemnation.
There never has been a time in the history of this nation when the necessity for laying aside all precongeived opinions, and laying aside all prejudice and honestly viewing- the political situation of -the country was greater thanm the present. Men are foo apt to accept what leading politicians and newspapers of one party are only too glad to teach them It would be difficult to find & man earnestly ‘urging the right independent of party | Every one’ of the party leaders has some finterest to secure, either real or imaginary, and though they may advocate.some sub. stantial truths, still it is not done without ~distortion. Some points need dressing up to make it weigh more heavily in favor of .one party. Truths are not presented with “that zeal and simplicity which shows that they themselves rely firmly in itsinherent justice, or if they do, they adhere to some absurdity that leads one to doubtyeven the good they do present. Every one suggests. 'some views or EXCESSES, some evil that 'abounds,' for fear of losing some object whici’they have in view. Eac}: party tells youthatitis essential that its own particular’ policy be adopted. All the powers that ‘party leaders and candidates possess, are brought into requisition to make their own “position Bppear the best, and’ to make an opposite view seem unworthy of their con sideration. ' i ]
Thus it is almost impossible to arrive at the real and substantial truths, as the leaders are blinded by self interest and party animosity, It is difficult for the followers to escape forming erroneous opinions, which they adhere to with a steadfastness worthy of a better cause. To a great extent the arrogance of self-con-stituted political leaders, of all parties, has demanded that reason, justice, truth, every thing, be subordinated to their interests. Andin view of these things what. are we to do? If neither party leaders nor party newspapers atfe to be relied on how * are we to know the truth? By their works yé shall know them.” Itis known that figures will not lie, but by a careful ‘examinatiqn of pfficial statements, during the past threeyears, we are forced to the conclusion that: if figures do not lie some one else does.. And it is only by'a careful examination and comparison of official reports, and a reference to the official acts, and not the speechies of these men that one can form a correct estimate of their worth-: ines¥ and the extent of their claims to public confidence. i
‘We hear much said of thec transcendent honesty, ability, and respectability of the present administration. And we are told that free government, human rights, every thing,depends on the re-election of President Grant. Thisis a dangerous doctrine‘, no matter. by whom taught. The idea should not exist for a. moment that the destinies of this great republie, freighted as it'is with the world’s best hopes, are held by any man or class of mén._ No; our pre~ servation as a nation is founded on the eternal principles of justice dnd equity ; on the strong arm of the people, wielded by reason and common gense. Individuals, as compared with free government, are of but little: importance. Then it is the duiy of every man to lay aside every selfish consideration, all party strife and bittérness, and in reason’slight, regardless of party ties, act in accordance with his best convictions of right, allowing no man to influence his vofs. Let the People decide for the People. . " A. WoMAN.
‘errible Accident. . Correspondence Laporte Herald. While Mr. Patrick Condra and his son Joseph were in the act of felling a tree for saw logs, in the woods near Boot Jack, io Wills tbwnship, an unnoticed limb about four inches in diameter, came down with s crash on Joseph’s head, killing him instantly within a few feet of his father, who caught him up in his arms a lifeless corpse.

He could not give any accotint of bimself, and though he bad tbe organs of speech and the intelligence to use them, scarcely ever spoke, confining himself to the ‘monosyllables,’ “Yes,” “No,” and “Don’t.,” *He was taken-to the Westbrook poorfarm and his teet amputated.
