When the skies are sweet as a psalm,
At the bovs It roll so stalwart
la bluff broad-shouldered calm.
And when, over breaker to leeward
The tattered surges are hurled,
It may keep our head to the tempest,
With its grip on the base of th world.

When the helpless feet stretch out,
And find in the depths of darkness
Mo looting so solid doubt,
Then better one spar of memory,
Due broken plank of the past.
That our human heart may cling to
Thongh hopeless of shore at last !
T9 the spirit it splendid eonjeotur,
To th flesh its sweet despair,
Its toars o'er the thin wern locket
With its beauty of deatblen hair !
Immortal ? I feel it and know it ;
Who doubts it of such a she ?
But that is the pang's very secret,
Immortal away from m !
There's a narrow ridge In the graveyard
Would scaros stay a child in its race ;
But to me and my thought it is wider
Than the stars own vagus ot spaa.

Your morals most drearily true,
But the earth that atop my darling's ears
Makes mine insensate, too.

But not all the preaching sinoe Adam

But I, who am earthy and weak.
Would give all my inoomes from dream-land
For her rose-leaf palm on my check !

And argues your wisdom down.
TALES AND SKETCHES.
MV SPKCXI4ATIO.-V.
I should not have done it I confess it
in the start. A man in my position has no
business with such weakness. Mj only ex
cuse is, that I could not help it. My posi
tion is s trying one. I am a gentleman,
with gentlemanly instincts and no money.
Whoever looks at me will sco at onco the
absurdity of connecting me with the idea
of work. It is so evidently impossible that
no one uas ever suggested the idea for an
instant. Some people aro useful and somo
are ornamental. The only question in my
case was, who. should pay for me; and
evidently, the only answer was, a rich wife.
It was, therefore, gently understood by my
friends and myself that my object in life
was arich wile. I fluttered myself that I
am particularly adapted to my object. I
have melancholy eyes, regular leaturea, fine
whiskers (mutton-chop order), and a perfect
composure. If I don't know what to say, I
can always hold my tongue and look un
ruffled, and that goes a long way witb wo
men. They have such lively imaginations
that if you will only look as if you knew
what to say, they w ill fancy you have said
it. I think, always aim at the subdued
style, which pleases without startling, and
gradually leads the mind to the wearer.
As a set off, I have a most unfortunate
sensitiveness to female beauty. I cannot
be'p admiring a pretty girl. In consequence
I have lust already three excellent chances.
Could not bring myself to the point of pro
posing to such ugly women, you see I This
sensitiveness is the more unfortunate, as I
am in debt It is not my fault, as you could
hardly expect a man of my spirit to make
out with my income. Vulgar people, how
ever, are incapable of appreciating these
distinctions; and I am made so uncomforta
blo by my creditors that 'when I accepted
Mrs. Marvin's invitation to spend a fort
night at her country-seat I did so with the
determination of marrying the first women
who bad money, and would have me, if
he were as ugly 'as sin herself. When I
got there I found Abe Dundas. Now Abe
is a fellow that you can be confidential witb,
and the first thing I said to him was: "Any
heiress down here t And says be "Yes."
And says I, "How much ?" And says be,
"Fifty thousand I" Says I, that is not
much." Says he, "There is no better one
here." "Well," says I, "what is the name?"
gays he, "Wait till you see the ladies ; and
let us all see if you can guess her out Bet
you anything you can't hit it." "Done,"
says I ; and went out for a walk before din
ner. I had not gone fur when I saw a pretty
girl. Of course I took an observation. She
was a pretty girl soft brown eyes, bair to
match, splendid color, broad forehead, hand
some profile and she sat in an easy, grace
ful attitude, sketching. I was sorry for that.
Young ladies make such frightful sketches ;
and then you are obliged to admire them.
However, she was a very pretty girl.
While I stood looking at her there ap
peared on the scene a cow. The young lady
instantly showed signs of fright. She rose
to her feet and looked at the cow. She
made a movement, and the cow came toward
her. The young lady dropped ber sketch
book, and screamed wildly. I made my ap
pearance, and the cow ran away. I picked
up the book and bunded it to the young
lady, who blushed deeply.
"I know it is very ridiculous to be afraid
of a poor, harmless cow," the aaid, smiling,
"but I cannot help it I always do scream."
"I am very glad you could sot help it in
this instance," said I, "if I may have the
pleasure of seeing you safe home." -
Shs blushed again, and looked toward
the house I had just left,
"I am stopping, jus now, at Mrs. Mar
vin s."
"Mrs. Marvin's i So am I. lam George
lane."
"And I sm Susy Lacy."
And there we were acquainted, better ac
quainted than we he should have been in a
week ; and before we reached home I was
in love I mean the genuine article I trot
really in lova with Mist I-acy. At dinner
Ana wuisperea to ma :
"Shall I show you tha heiress t
Don't car," said I, "Or stay. No
yea. You had better."
Well, there sha sits," and be nodded in
the direction of a lady sitting beside Miss
Lacy, just as 1 expectea. An old maid.
Tall, gaunt, stiff, yellow, with a troodish
sort of face that bad never been handsome,
and would sever sea thirty-two again.
44 A bitter pill to take," I thought, and
aeciaea nnu 10 nave out my flirtation witb
Miss Lacy.
Well, wa bad it out, or bo, wa did not
have it out. Wa could sot. The mora I
saw of the girl tha more I waa in love witb
her. Madly, desperately in love. For the
first and only time in my life, the idea of
work occurred to roe as a possibility. I
thought that I could work for her. OI
those evenings in the music-room I those
drives over tha still, country roads 1 those
after breakfast chats I I never did see any.
body so bewitching aa waa Suiy in ber
morning wrappers.
As yon may imagine, I was making small
progress in the good graces of Miss Ellis,
the heiress. But there came one day a letter.
This letter waa a dun. It was not to be
paid in scraps from the onera. or in Susv's
soft whispers. I shut myself tip a whole
aiternoon, anu decided to win Miss Ells.
lost was a rainy evenine a miserable
evening. How well I remember it 1 When
we came into the drawing-room Susy made
place for me beside her, but I crossed over
to Miss Ellis. Miss Ellis looked first flat
tered and then pleased. She talked very
well. She was just the person whom I
should have liked to engage as governess
ur my cnnaren wnen 1 became a ramilyman.
She played chess, also played it very well.
I did not wish to bs too precipitate ; so, in
the morning, I went out again with Susy.
She rallied me about my sudden devotion
for Miss Ellis.
"She is a highly cultivated ladv." I an.
swered, gravely, "and has a brilliant mind ;
and I, you know, am French in my tastes.
I always prefer cleverness to beauty."
cusys cueeks were suddenly sutfused
with a warm, rich blush : and once or twice
afterward I caught ber looking at me with
an odd expression half sad. half inauirinsr.
In the afternoon, I was again in attend
ance on Miss Ellis. Others rallied me. as
ousy 11 an aone, ana 1 made the same an
swer : I was struck by Miss Ellis' clever
ness. roor little Susy ! now she used to look
at me with eyes so full of suoh innocent as
tonishment and reproach. It was hard not
to go to her, but I knew my only safety was
in sucKing ciose to aits mis.
Another letter oarae from tha city. A
savage letter. I must have money at onco,
and as I could not see Abe long enough to
captain, a wrote uim a note tons:
DSAB Abb : I am eomlnff en Snail wtth th-ITii;.
On the strength of her fifty thousand, lend me fli
I sm desperately hard un : bat on the dav of mv
marriage I shall pay op all debts, and then go bang
mysolf. I think 1 never was so wretohed in my
uie. 1 ours. uxoBtiB.
That afternoon I sat in the drawing room
meditatinp. eloomilv. I had received noth-
ing from Abe, who bad gone to town in tho
ursi, irain. 1 uau spent the morning with
Miss Ellis, and began to see that, excellent,
unoffending woman that she was, I could
bate her mortally. And Susy had looked
so lovely. Bho was just angry enough now
to make her piquante. While I was thus
thinking entered the objects of my thoughts
Ji us mis ana Susy. rJtisy held a note in
her band, wbipb was handed to me.
"Uy some strange mistake," sho said,
"this note was banded to me. and I read it
while trying to understand it As I have
read it, 1 may as well remark, on Miss Ellis'
account, that von are laboring under a mis
take. I be 8 30,O0U of which you apeak is
mine; and you will not need to banc Your
self, as Miss Ellis has never bad any intcn-
uoa vi caanging tier name."
I stared stupidly et the note. It was my
note to Abe Dundas. Thinking of Susy at
the time, I had directed it to Miss Susan
Lacy. And Susy, mv Susv. was the heiress.
And she married Abe Dundas. And lam
not married yet; and am more elegant and
more in debt than ever. Will any woman,
in want of a stylish husband, have me ?

On Thursday tbe Committee on Resolu
tions submitted tbe following, which were
adopted amid great cheering :
Tbe National Republican party of tho
United States' assembled in National
Convention in tho city of Chicago on
the 20th day of May, 1888, make the fol
lowing declaration of principles:
Firtt. We congratulate the country on
the assured success of the reionstructlnn
projects of Congress, as evinced by the
adoption in a majority of tbe States lately
in rebellion of constitutions securing equal
civil and political rights to all, and regard
it as the duty of the tbe Government to sus
tain these institutions and to prevent tbe
people of such states from being remitted to
a state of anarchy.
Second. Tbe guarantee of Congress of
equal suffrage to all loyal men at tbe South
was demanded by every consideration of
public safety, of gratitude, and of justice
and must be maintained, while the ques
tion of suffrage in all tha loyal States pro
perly belongs to tha people of ttcse 6tates.
Third. We denounce all forma of repu
diation as a national crime, and national
honor requires the payment of tbe publio
indebtedness in tha ntmost good faith to
all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter but the spirit of tba
laws under which it was contracted.
Fourth.. It le due to tha labor of tho na
tion that taxation suould ba equalized, and
reduced as rapidly aa tbe national faith will
permit.
Fifth. Tba national debt contracted as
it baa bees for tba preservation of tba Uni
on for all time to noma, abould ba extend
ed over a fair period for redemption, and it
la tba duty of Congress to reduco tba rata
of ioteresta therein whenever it can possi
ble be dona.
SM. That tba beat polioy to diminish
our burden of debt is to so improve our
credit that capitalists will seek to loan na
money at lower rite of interest than wa
now pay, and must continue to pay so long
as repudiation, partial or total, open or co
vert, is threatened or suspected.
Satonth. Tba Government of tha United
8tats should ba administered wiiu. tha
strictest economy, and the corruptions
which nave oeen so snametuny nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for
radical reform.
Eiohth.Xb'm nrofonndlv deniora the untime
ly and trsglc death of Abraham Lincoln,
and regret tbe accession of Andrew Johnson
to the Presidency, who has acted treacher
ously to the poople who elected him, and
me cause he was pledged to support ; lie
has usurped legislative and judicial func
tions ; has refused to execute the laws ; has
used his high office to induce other officer,
to ignore and violate the laws : has employed
his executive power to render insecure tbe
prosperity, peace, liberty, and life of the
cituens; has abused the pardoning power;
1.... .1 a u -v...: 1 :

unconstitutional ; has persistently and cor
ruptly resisted, by every measure in bis
power, every proper attempt at tho rccon
structiooof the States lutcly in rebellion ;
has perverted the publio patronage into an
engine of wholesale connption, and has been
justly impeached for high crimes and misde
meanors, and properly prononnced guilty
by tbe votes of thirty-live Senators.
Ninth. The doctrine of Great Britain and
other European powers, that because a man
is once a subject he is always so, must be
resisted at every bazurd by the United States
as a relic of the Federal times, not author
ized by the law of nations and at war with
our national honor and independence.
Naturalized citizens are entitled to be pro
tected in all their rights of citizenship as
though thev wore native born, and no citi
zen of the United Slates, native or natura
lized, must be liable to arrest and imprison
ment by any foreign power lor acts done or
words spoken in this country. And if so
arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of
the Uovernment to interlere in Dis Denaii.
Tenth. Of all who were faithful in the
trials of the late war there are none entitled
to more especial honor thea tho brave sol
diers and seamen who endured the hard
ships 01 campaign and cruise,and imperilled
tlieir lives in the service of tbe country.
The bounties and pensions provided by
law for these brave defenders of the nation
are obligations never to be forgotten. Tho
widowtstond orphans of the gallant dead are
the wards of tho people, a sacred legacy
bequeathed to tbe nation's protecting care.
Eieienth. Foreign emigration, which in
the past has added so much to the wealth
and development of tbe resources and tbe
increase of power to this nation, "the asylum
of the oppressed of all nations," should be
fostered and encouraged by a liberal and
just policy.
Tveljth. This convention declares its
sympathy witb all the oppressed people
who are struggling for their rights.
After the passage of the resolutions, Gen.
Logan, in the name of the loyal people and
soldiers of the Republic, nominated Ulys
ses S. Grant. The whole convention rose
to their feet amid great cheering, and the
band played "Hail to the Chief," The States
were called and each voted for Grant.
The Chair announced 650 votes, all for
Grant. As tbe vote was announced, a sew
drop-curtain in the rear of tbe stage was
uncovered, presenting a fine portrait of
Grant, supported by Liberty, with the
motto : "Match him."
For Vico President, Henry Wilson, of
Mnsaaclinselts ; Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana ;
B. F. Wade, of Ohio ; Reuben E. Fenton,
of New York ; James Speed, of Kentucky ;
John A. J. Creswell, of Maryland; Andrew
G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania; Hannibal Ham
lin, of Maine, and Sainl. C. Pomeroy, of
Kansas, were placed in nomination.
The first ballot rsultcd as follows :

Before tbe vote was announced, all the

unanimously in favor of Colfax. The chair
man then announced Mr. Colfax as tbe
nominee for Vice President
After the third ballot Got. Curtin's name
was withdrawn, in pursuance of instructions
from him.
In the evening, after the Convention ad
journed, Chicago was bright witb bonfires
and jocund witn music.
Never have nominations been more auspi
cious than those of Grant and Colfax. De
liberations which began in gloom because of
the failure of tbe conviction of the great
traitor, ended in confidence, and tbe iudig
nation born of the Senatorial treachery u
rapidly organizing our hosts for a resistless
march to a commanding victory. Tbe plat
form is a complete crystallization of eternal
principles. No issue i evaded ; no respon
sibility shunned.
Not a whisper of complaint ia beard in
any quarter, and tbe Copperheads already
sea tbe handwriting on the wall. Tbe Great
West is aflame witb enthusiasm, and all
heretofore Republican Statea will increase
their majority in November. Southern
Unionlsta are as ardent and enthusiastio for
Grant and Colfax as their brethren of tbe
North.

Tho Origin fthe Tennro of Ofltcc
nui.
Amone the Interesting tnemorafnlia of
these times, Which should not be suffered to
pass away, is the trne account of the origin
of tbe law on which the whole Impeachment
case has been based tbe Tenure of-Office
law. It bad its source in the brain of a
grntleroan who has given great attention to
questions of constitutional law, and who
inherits something of the Ingenuity of his
distinguished father in these matters. Col.
J. A. Hamilton, son of the celebrated Alex
ander Hamilton.
The facts were these: Colonel Hamilton
had for many years felt the immense evil of
the inordinate patronage conferred npon the
President, and the inefficiency of our civil
sorvice, consequent on the frequent change
of office. A long study of constitutional
law had given him the conviction that the
President did not possess the power to re
move without tbe consent ot the senate.
In order to subject his views to discussion.
a dinner party o! gentlemen, mare or less
interested in such questions, was arranged
at his house on the Hudson river, in Dtc ,
isas. there were present Messrs. D. D.
Field, W. M. Everts, C. A. Dana (then editor
of tbe Trilmne), E. L. Godkin (now editor
of the Nation), C. L. Brace, and others.
Messrs. Raymond and Bryant were invited,
but were pot able to be present. After the
cloth was removed, Col. H., in his remarka
bly clear style, presented hia argument, re
ferring to the Federalist No, 77, the debates
on the passage of tbe act establishing the
State Department, and other documents.
All the persons present seemed to agree that
the argument waa sound, and that tbey
would do all in tlieir power to secure the
passage of an act requiring removals as well
as appointments to be made, "by and with
tbe consent of the Senate."
The only objection offered was the practi
cal one that no political party could ever be
induced to forego its own power of patron
ngo through its President. Col. Hamilton
was requested to print bis views, which he
subsequently did in pamphlet form, and
submitted it to Mr. Evarts and Mr. Field.
In 1859 he laid tbe plan of the bill before
Mr. Seward (then Senator), who seemed to
approve it, and who introduced him to
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, as the
proper person to present such a bilL Mr;
Wilson consented to do so, and he and Mr.
Seward had many conferences on the sub
ject On the 20th of February, 1830, Mr.
Wilson wrote that it waa too late in the
session to bring tbe bill forward. The
threatened secession then put the subject in
the back ground. In 1868, however, Col.
Hamilton renewed his efforts, and was in
troduced by Mr. Sumner to Senator Hender
son, who entered on the subject with great
earnestness and zeal, and tonally presented
and secured the passage of the law which
Col. Hamilton had so long been urging, tbe
present Tenure-of Office bill.
The section of the act which established
tho office of Controller of the Currency,
whereby tlii officer conuot be removed
without the con&entof the Senate, passed
early in the war, was inserted at the sug
gestion also of Col. Hamilton. Sew York

About Army Iloraest
A contributor to the Independent writes :
"I used to admire the horses in the army.
Well-trained cavalry horses would always
understand tho bugle, and never make mis
takes. The men wcae sometimes confused,
and would rein the horses tbe wrong way.
I have seen horses rear straight tip rather
than obey tbe rein agaist tho bugle. Turn
the horses loose without riders, and at the
sound of the bugle they would form them
selves into line and go through their parade.
At the battle near Corinth I watched the
artillery horses. They came in on a swift
run, drawing a thirty-two pounder ; and on
the instant the signal was given, they wheel
ed, the piece was nnlimbered in a moment,
and then at another signal, they were away
again on a run. The gun was in good posi
tion and did good execution. But the
rebels flanked us, and we were compelled
to leave tbe gun and fall back eighty rods.
There we reformed in good order, and with
fixed bayonets charged back upon tbe rebels.
Thev were In disorder and fled. We took
the gun again ; but knowing that wo could
not long bold the ground, our object was
to brine off the gun. So we opened right
and left and the bugle sounded for tbe
horses. They came dashing np again on
tbe run till they reached the gun ; they
wheeled, waited a moment to be hitched,
and then whirled it away in no time and
saved it I stood there, though the bullets
were whizzing around mo, and looked in
perfect admiration at those horses.
Had tbey no riders to guide them t
Yes, but they obeyed the bugle. Their
riders could not control tbejp.

In Wisconsin there is a town called Osb
kosh. It is regarded by the people of that
section as a "great plaftB for fur.." And if
we admit that tha local definition ot "fun"
be correct, its repute is not undeserved. It
chanced recently that a minister from ano
ther part of the State started to go to Osh
kosh. Ho had gone a few miles on bis journey
when be waa shocked by meeting a man
limping along, with the blood running
down one side ot bis face. .Un being que'
tioned, tbe man aaid be had been up to
Oshkosh "having a little fun witb the boys."
Two miles further on, another man was met,
with an arm in a sling, a bunged eye, and
torn clothing. He told tbe distance to Osh
kosh. said it was a live town, and that be
bad been op there "haying a little fun with
the boys." Popderiug on these facts, the
minister proceeded pensively until be came
to a man seated by tbe aide of the road witb
a spraioed arm and only one ear. He was
washing tbe locality whence tbe otber bad
been bitten 03. The minister stopped and
expressed bis sympathy. The man averred
that it was nothing ; be bad merely been up

Fanny Fern, in the Ledger, has some plain,
common sense talk regarding the inter
course of Intimate friends, which sho thinks
is much more reasonably conducted among
men than by women. Thus, in order to
avoid offending a femaio friend who may
chance to call while a lady Is occupied, tho
latter may not send down word that she ia
engaged, but must resort to a "white lie,"
and say that she is "out." Fanny onco
excused herself to a female visitor because
she had an article to write. The visitor, as
soon as Fanny had gone, turned to another
with tbe mild remark : "I suppose sha
said that to get rid of us don't you )"
Fanny says the intercourse of men with
each other has always aroused her admira
tion. If one wants to read or write in
another's company, he does ao and nu
offence ia taken. t
If one has to leave, he often ssya no mora
than "I'm off," or "Good by, old fellow."
Sometimes it is only a touch of tbe hat, or
a hand itwd on the other s shoulder in pass
ing, ana no black eyes follow, no locks or
hair fly, nor do any hard words or look
result in the future.
Further fancies foltow, regarding the post
sible conduct of females in imaginary emer
gencies. We quote :

Hew to be n Millionaire.
As there is no royal road to learning, to
also is there also no abort cut to exception
al affluence. It is possible, according to
statistics, for only one thousand men in the
United 8tates to graep $1,000,000 a year.
Or rather such a grasp is impossible, for it
would be a grab of all the surplus yearly
products of the Union, which 00 conceiv
able thousand men could make successfully.
A writer in the QaUixt, however, enumer
ates a few of the conditions, positive and
negative, which may bo regarded as indis
pensable to the average achievement of a
millionaire's position :
You must be a very able man, as nearly
all millionaiies are.
You must devote your life to tbe getting
and keeping of other men's earnings.
You must eat the bread of carefulness,
and you must rise early and lie down late.
You must care little or nothing about
other men's wants or sufferings or disap
pointments. You must mind it that your great wealth
involvos many other's poverty.
Yon must not give away money but for a
material equivalent
You must not go meandering about na
ture, nor spend your time enjoying air,
earth, sky and water, for there is no money
in it
Yon must not detract your thoughts
from the great purpose of your life with tho
charms of art and literature.
You must not let philosophy or religion
engross you during the secular time.
You must not allow your wife or chil
dren to occupy much of your valuable time
or thoughts.
You must never permit the fascination of
friendship to iuveiglo you into making
loans, however small.
You must abandon all other ambitions
or purposes ; and, finally
You must be prepared to sacrifice esse
and all fanciful notions you may have about
tastes and luxuries and enjoyments during
most, if not all, of your natural life.

"I went over last summer with two friends,
and Jones took us up on a four acre lot he
had just prepared for planting. We all
went to the ceutre of the lot; and be here
made a aingle bill aud showed us a cucumber
seed. Now, boys,' said he, 'when I put this
seed into the grouud you must run for tho
fence and get out as soon as yon can.' No
sooner bad bo dropped tho seed than be and
tbe otber started off as if a bull-dog had been
after them. I was so surprised that I for
got the warning until I saw a vine pushing
up from tbe ground and making for mo.
Then I ran at if for dear life, but before I
got to the fence the vine caught mo and
began to wiud around me like a snake. I
was very much alarmed, and put my hand
to my pocket for my jack knife with which
to cvt rajielf loose ; but to my horror could
not get it ou accouut of a cucumber which
