I sit in the twilight dim, At the close of an iJle day, And hear the soft, sweet hymn That rises far away, , And dies on the eveniug air ; j Oh, all djy long, they sing their son, Who toil in the valley there. ; But never a song sing I. Sitting with folde i lan's; The hours pass me by, . Dropping tbeir golden sands; And I list from day tu clay To the tick, tick, toek, of the old brown clock, Ticking my life away. And I see the sunlight fade, And I see the night come on And then, in ttye gloom and shade, . I weep for tUe day that is gone Weep end wail in pain, -For the unspent day that has Sown away Aud Hill not come again. . Another morning beams, And I forget the last, An J sit in my idle dreams, Till the day in overpast Oh, the toiler's heart is glad, For the day is gone and the night eomcs on, ; But miue is sore and sad. ' For I dare not look behind ; . No golden shining sheaves, Cau I ever hope to find ; Nothing but withered leaves, Ah ! dreams are very sweet! But will it please, if only these ' I lay at my Master' feet ? And what will the Master say . To dreams, and nothing more ? Ob, idler all the day ! Think, ere tby life is o'er. And the day grows late, Oh, soul of sin ! will He let you in There at the pearly gate? Ob, idle heart, bewate ! On to the field of strife ! On to the valley there, ' . , . . And live a useful life. , Upl do not wait a day ! For the old brown clck, with its tick, tock, Is ticking jour life away. Baitiiiir the Hook. The New York Tribune observes that in tho present melancholy condi tion of the ''Democratic" party, its only possible hope of, anything never so mildly glorious in the way of "vic tory" is to rope in a few Republicans of the softer sort. Under cover of "The Labor Reformers," this little game was lately tried in New Hamp shire, as our readers know, with but mitigated success. And now wc hear from Cincinnati of "The .Democratic Executive Uommittee trying some- thing like the same expedient. At a meeting of the Committee the other ay, one Mr. Nietert moved that tho coming Convention be called The Democratic Citizens' Reform Conven tion." Then indignantly sprang to his .feet Mr Kraemer. "I am a Democrat," flaid K., "flfld I glory in the name. It jgoes to my heart to see the glorious old name discarded. liut the mover of the resolution 4 explained: "We peed Republican vote, We must have Republican votes. Unless we get Re publican votes, the party will go up in ja balloon." "Now," sagaciously ob :rved Mr.; Nietert, "Republicans will not bite at the bare hoot ot an out-and out Democratic Ticket, and wc prp- pose to bait the hook with a so called Dmocralkj Citizens' Reform Ticket." The Committee voted so to 'bait the hook," but they caught no gudgeons Cincinnati went Republican by a Jarg- ct majority than aver before. A new tunnel under tb,e Thames has lately been completed, at a cost of 18;, UUu. The shafts descending to it have a diameter of JO feet at top, and 8 leet at bottom.. The tunnel is 7 feet in diameter. It h 1320 feet lonr. and was dog at the rate of 9 feet a hy. The . passage under the river will - be made by an omnibus, by means of a etatiooarr CRge with lifts at either ena. How Taxes Have Been Reduced. ox taxation Dy our small ueraocrauc politicians, (many of whom, however, do not pay a farthing of taxes), that one not familiar with the action of Congreg9 on this subject might be led to suppose that there had been no re duction.of taxes since the close of the war.

The tax of two dollars on one thousand is not very oppressive, on all over five thousand ; and tho income tax ceases Otis year. From this exhibit appears that taxes have alreadv been reduced to an ex tent? which, considering the condition of the countryt is very remarkable. Further reductions can doubtless he made, and the Republican party will make them as rapidly as a due regard fur the nublic credit will allow. " It i t i . - iL!. ir I t. .

The 1 ittlc fellow had noticed'that whenever his mother scolded his father, he would commence whistling, and keep whist ling until the storm bad passed over. One day, however, he mtxdfy no demon- tration whatever whilo receiving a slight correction from his wife. The boy noticed this, and after watching his fatter some time, said to him, "why don't you give her a d -d good whist ling?" A Connecticut reporter, who. recent ly attended a wedding, apparently for the first time, writes that when , he looked upon tho Wide "in her sweet grace and with her gentle way. he felt like going into jthe shadowed gar dens of imagination and gathering there tlie rarest roses of language rncna linlP ricYan t n trtAii lti rlct ond l-ii1f awake as they swelled to bloom from slumber and adorning her wedding wreath, already full with the blessings ana productions . wcrp. jw.ooo uoi Witl out a ,0to the Senate ?'

Marriages in v'u lation of the terms of the bill are dc lured incestuous and void and all pc sons aiding or consenting to them arc to be punished for misdemeanor.

The entific Press notices the fact that, a tew day.r since, U,0U0 worth of hops were carnea away Dy one vessel tram Span Francisco, for export to Europe, and presumes that the shipment has been more or less influenced bv the exhibition of California hops at the late taris Exposition. A "bale or two of tops were opened there, and freely dis tributed, to brewers and others who were congregated there from thevari pus countries i in .' Europe, and who. without exception, bore testimony to he fact that they were not equaled by ;he hops raised! in any other part of the The Books We Head. Too much care cannot be exercised in the selection of the books we read. It is a fact well known to those who have given attention to this subject that the influence exerted upon the mind by a certain class of works is ul most as enervating as indulgence in the ordinary rounds ft diss! nation. A eon firmed novel reader, one who has so ac customed himself to the excitement produced by reading works of fiction and to the day-dreaming that is sure to follow, is no more competent to hold his mind firmly upon any given subject I than is tho druukard able to hold his I hnn.1 utenAxr Tt ni.tr Ko rordf1 nc o serious: question whether the circulat ing libraries that pander so largely to I harm than can ever be counterbalanced by the ' information they diffusa among those who take from them a better class of works. Tho only 'consideration that would lead US to regard the account as balanced would be tho fact that the in jury done to worthless mind is of small consequence compared with tho im provement of a mind of higher qual ity I ethnologist. The President's stables in I'hiladeU phia were under the direction of Ger- man Johns, and the grooming of the white charters will rather surprise the moderns. The night before the horses L.;,l,lfln .t.AW Tiv-.w pv.Vu v,M, v .v , covered entirely over with a paste, of which whiting is tho principal component part; then the animals were swathed in body clothes and left to sleep upon clean straw. In the morning the com position had become hard, was well rub bed in and curried and brushed, which process pave to the coats a beautiful, glossy and satin-like appearance. The hoofs were then blackened and polish ed, the mouth washed, teeth picked and cleaned, and the leopard skin hous- ing. bcin properly adjusted, tho white chargers were led out for service. Such was the grooming of the ancient times. Don't Like It. A telegram of the 14th says: At Laramie City, Wyoming, the jury in the Ilewett murder case rc- tnrnifl n vnlik if mnfXil.inrrlitor In the first degree, at 12 o'clock on the nicht of Mareh 12th. The ladies of the jury wero much fatigued, and thoroughly disgusted with their jury practice. A previous dispatch read as follows : . Laramie, March 12 The Ilewett murder case is still pending. The jury cannot agree, and were ordered con fined until 9 o'clock a. rn., when the court agrees to meet them. They were allowed dinner jand supper. The wo men looked pale and fatigued, this being the fourth night of their confine aient. General complaint among the married men. Short Dresses arc good things for the shoemakers and bad for the doctors. The ladies buy and wear better shoes, and the doctors report a noticeable de cline in diseases among women coming from cold clamp feet. When long gar ments prevailed, women were very care- less in this resncct. often wearimr thin and broken shoes, and this, together with the dampness always clinging to their long skirts, brought on illness, which not unfrcquently terminated fa tally. A verdict of a Cheyenne coroner's jury on the body of a victim ot intern perance was, "died from the ellects ot mtxed collaterals.' J ho jury didn't want ty hurt the fellow's feelings by saying delirium tremens. Frank Hosworth, a prominent drug gist of Milwaukie, and a great sports man, who is traveling in Europe, writesjhat whiie standiug on tho Lean ing Tower of Pisa, a couple of mal lard ducks flew over, within good range, which myde him think of home. Among the pall-bearers at the fune ral of Wcslev Harneri the seoond dead brother of the firm of Harper Urothers, were Wm. II.
