I love to milk in the summer time. When the calve ami cow bells make a rhyme. With their dins, dong ding, and bah, bah, bah, Mixed with a crow's discordant enw, When the sun goes down and the stars come out And lling their lustre all about. I love to milk when It's getting dark. And the evening silence whispers "Hark, ' When the farm dog froli.-s, leap and plays, And forgets the ihumphs of his by-gone day; When tlie new-mown meadow breaths per fume. From the flushing peach, and apple bloim, And the silent flowers in the garden bend, And their odor to the skip ascend. I love to milk when the eows are kind, Ami a treacherous one you cannot find; When the neighbor girl come one and all, The blonde, brunette, the short and tall, And each one takes a pail and sings. Of love, devotion and all such thing. To the humble belle of the bovine tiibe, Who seems each accent to imbibe, Until the music grows too old. And she givc a kick of force untold. Then watches the prettv musician sail To realms ethereal, with milk and nail All this is tine for a livelv mind; Tis excellent fun. vf the funny kind, But then such joy are poor, indeed; They hurry by with a lightning speed, And of all the times to cares unknown, But crowned with pleasuie all full blown, Is to go to the cottage beneath the bill, In the gentle evening, calm and still, Wheie one lone cow makes up the band. And one lone girl, on the other h.iml. To milk, and talk, to forget all cares; To forget the task your conscience; shares, 'Tis there the souls mchantment thrives, In the mingled joy of vour untledged lives, 'Tis there the heart's elVulgcnce glows, Till the cow treads on vour tender toes. 15.

Mr. Jushua Bradford, of Clover creek, was over this week and reports thing flour ishing in that vicinity. Ecclcs' mill will resume work In a few days to make a big fall run. Logs are be ing hauled about a half mile. Warren Frnsier and Oliver Keefer, two of our citizen", are picparlug to take a pro longed visit to the llig Rend country in search of better range for horses. No preparations are being made, as yet. toward starting our fall term of school. There are plenty of scholars to draw pub lic fund enough for a good term of school. Step3 should be taken at once.

Look out for Teloeasct. Tho breeze is softly trembling now, and the leaves are beginning to ripple gently With the delicate pressure aroused by tho prospect of a wedding. Oh, that we only had a lhurch bell to burst tho welkin with Its clang and rattle! When Courtland Palmer was on his death bcdjlio said to his friends, "the general im pression is that Freethinker are afraid to die, 1 want you one and all to tell the world you have seen one Freethinker die without the least fear of what, the hereafter may be." A more ealm, fearless death was never before known, and Mr. Palmer was an outspoken Freethinker. Fanners are incessant fifteen hour labor ers, and form the basis of this government. They strive to grow financially and intel lectually; they have some aim above the j common drudgery of lahnr and toil; then why not bestow protection on them, and not on a class of idle, circles people known as factory laborers, who have no higher as piration than to live from hand to mouth, and aceumnlaae nor gain nothing financial ly, morally or Intellectually, 15.

La (ivande jLollur. Hi. Scoit: The article in Tub Scout pigned "Democrat" has had a good ell'ect on the editor of the Gaftt: Week after week he has charged that the demo crats had declared for free trade ; that tho Mills bill was a freo trade measure.. He now comes out and acknowledges, indirectly, he lias been lying about it, for he says, "Tho difficulty is the dem ocrats do not dare to come out and proclaim tho doctrine they believe, but by an infamous straddle of the issue have endorsed a policy that is infinite ly worse than free trade." That is, they aro not for free trade. Now. Bro. Eckley, stick to that and your false hoods will be forgiven. No doubt our policy is infinitely worse for tho re publicans. He says, "all freetraders belong to the democracy." Yes, and so do all the Chincso belong to your party. Does that make your party a. set of Chinamen? And more, all tho negroes belong to the republicans, or thoy say they do, if not coerced. What does that prove? If any thing, it proves too much. Such stuff speaks a weak head, a poor cause and a corrupted heart. He says, "thu Mills bill prac tically shuts out protection in tho North and North-west." The fact ia four-fifths of all protected articles aro in the North and North-west, and on these, by the Mills bill, is left the high est tariff ovor levied in this nation, ex cept our present tariff. This editor, having tho Mills bill before him, is de termined to support a bad causo by wilful, base misrepresentations, un worthy any honorablo man and a dis grace to any public journal. This advocate of political rot went off in a long harranguo about taking off 10 cents protection on barley, when the fact is tho duty has not been changed, and poor Eckley has subsi ded. Ho claims he has proved certain things, and he did it in this way: Ho asserted such and such was a fact, in one issue, in tho next ho repented it, in tho next ho declared ho had proved it, and for evidence referred us to his former assertions. This certainly is a very nice system of logic and ought to bo patented. Tho name of tho author ought to bo braided down on the pagcB of history as one of the greatest litera ry geniouses of tho ago. He says further: "Thero is no hon est democrat so crazy as to beliovo that the price of wool is not affected by tho tariff." ThoI?acrcvm Wool Reporter and Iirathlreeta, tho highest authority in tho United States on commercial questions, both say tho prico of wool has not been affected by tho. Mills bill, and will not bo, whether it passes or not. Had these journals seen the Ca- ette or tho editor, doubtless thoy would havo been moro cautious. By all means, send them a copy nnd they will retract. Wool is worth 10 cents a pound ; baled hay, il-5 of n cent. Eck ley says wool is worth less than baled hay, or in other words 10 conts is to 11-5 of a cent as truth is to Eckloy'u statement. The public will sco how narrowly Eckley escapes being a ci pher. It is ovidont ho docs not oven know tho diflorenco between free trndo and low protection, for ho uses tho terms as meaning the same thing. Tn tho great boodle fight he seems determined to get his share. Ho is safo on ono thing no republican dirt cater has any chance to get ahead of him. If I had timo I could fill many a pago copyiug tho nonsense, lunn buggery and rot found weekly in tho columns of tho Gazette, but it will scan ely pay. I havo referred to what I havo merely to show tho public tho kind of stuff which is published for truth and to upholdjj tho causo of rc publicauism. In tho language of Holy Writ I am led to exclaim, "Oh yo liars and hypocrites, how can yo cscapo tho damnation of Hell?" DEMOCRAT. TIIK VKKIUCT UNANIMOUS. AV, I.

Thousands of others have added their tcstL mony, so that tho verdict is unanimous that Electrlo Illttojs do cure all diseased of tho LIvor, Kidney or Blood, Only a half a dollurhottlo at Wright's drug Bflire.
