THE CO JUNG.
I gathered flowers the summer long ;
J doted the days on the snnny lens,
And wove, my fancies Into song,
Or dreamed in aimless ease.
Or watched, from Jutting cliffs, the dyes
Of changed waters under me
The lazy galls that dip an 1 rise
White siecks upon the sea t
Aa! far sway, where b'ne to blue
Was wed, me ships t lat came and went I
And though O happy world I and drew
Tl ere r in a full content.
My mutes tol cd It the ripening Held,
Nor ixiiise for rest In cool or heat
The yellow grnlu made haste to yield
Its harvesting complete I
My mates tolled In their pleasant homes,
Th:'y plucked the frult-tfrom laden boughs,
And sang "For If the Master comes
And Uud no ready house !"-
And far and ft ranee their singing teemed,
And harsh the voices every one,
That woke the pleasant dream dl-ttam'd
To thought of tasks tvito:ie
Vet still I waited, lingered still.
Won by a cloud-- touring lurk
Till, by-artd-by, the InU 1 was chill,
And all the sky was dark
Aud lo, the Master ! Through the night
My mates come forth to welcome Hlin j
Their labor done, their garments white,
While mine are stained and dim.
They to nim their golden sheaves
To Him their finished toll oelons ;
While I have but these withered leaves,
And these poor, foolish songs.

MR. XASBY DABBLES JS OHIO POLITICS
TIIK DECLINATION OK 0 KX. ROSKCUAXS
OPENS A FIELD FOR HIM WHICH HE IS
LOTH TO ENTER HE ANNOUNCES HIM
SELF AS A CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
IN HIS MODEST WAY.
Pepper's Tavern, Holmes county,
August 0, 18(59. There wuz a Providence
in my Win compelled to leave Kentucky
a speshcl and crowin Providence in my
comin to Ohio. I shel never doubt Provi
dence agin. I thought it hard to lio cotn
M;lled to leave my comfortable quarters at
the Corners, and ! murinjjrgd when forced
to trust myself to tho cold charities uv an
un fee liu world at my advanst age, but it
wuz after all for the, best. Ez high and
exaltid ez the posishen uv aJventucky Post
Master, the posisheiijuv Governor of the
third State uv the Yoouyuu is more cxal
teder. The di cliniii uv Gen. rfcosecrans wuz not
onexiK'cted. Indeed, when Senator Thur
nutu started for California the next day af
ter the Conven-dien to iudoose him to de
cline, 1 knowed lie wood succeed. Thur
mau hc a winnin way with him cz Val
landygum discovered two years ago next
winter. '
Hosykrans wuznt never tho proper man
to lead the dimocracy uv Ohio to victry.
Xo matter how sound he may be on nif the
questions now before the people, there is
on oiler nttiiclu-tl to liis name which is si
stench into our nostrils: and the men wich
riinnur Stnto Conveiishuu oti 'ht to have
.known it. The troo DiniocriiLii; intellei k
is limited it don't take too in my ideas to
wunst, nor does it shift with laciiity. Door
ing tin e s years uv the late unpleasantness
We wuz kept bizzy traiuiu the Dimocracy
to liate this name, with sich ez Ituruside,
et cetery. We succeeded. About the
time uv fightin uv the battles uv Stone
ltiver, Inky, Chicamauga, and partikerly
about the date uv the arrest and exil uv
our then inartered saint, Vallandygum,
the very mention of Hosykrans' name wood
set imv Diiiin-r.Lt, in O no a t'mthin at the.
mi.utli like a mad dog. The Dimocraticanti-
pathy to the name ain't changed. We mite
tell em taal tins s line llosykr.uis wuz our
candidat ', but the ieople wood, in moments
uv forgetf.ilness, heve stouts at any man
who wood perpose "three cheers for Hosy
kraiis!" They'd anolygise ininicjitly when
they remembered themselves, but kin apol
ogy repay for a broken head? Half uv our
orators wood hev bin killed before the cam
paign wuz half over. There ain't no y.ooso
in try in to get up enthoosiasni under sich
circumstances.
For obvious reasons, it wood be sooicidle
to nominate Vallandygum. He can't get
a Itcpublikin vote, an I ther lire hosts uv
Dimoerats who don't like to hev it scd they
voted for him out uv regard for their pos
terity It won't do to nominate Cary, for
he's "too recent a convert, and, besides, he
used to occassionally lecter on temperance,
ltauney won't anscr beeoz llauney alius
wears clean shirts; takes a bath twice a
week, and goes somewhere to cburch with
his family every Sunday. He wood doubt
less git some Hepublikiu votes, but he'd
lose more tlian enulf uv the Democracy to
balance the account. Henry Clay Dean
wood soot exactly but lie lives in Iowa.
Jessee D. JJrite wood anscr, but lie is a
citizen uv Kentucky. Sammy Cox hez
alius lived cleanly, tho he is sutlicicntly
versateel to change all that is time, but on
foutunately, he's in Spain, aud, besides,
he's a citizeu uv Xoo York.
Who then, shel we nominate?
I anscr without hesitation, without any
alfcctashen uv modesty me.
I am iist now, the chief anions ten thou
sand, aud the on altogether lovelv. I am
tu, M,JS08 wjcl, j8 to .At tho lVlUOcracy
i uv Ohio out uv ther land uv bondage iuto
the land flowing with milk and hum v
One advantage in noiuiualiu me wood
be there aiu't no danger uv my detlinin.
I never decline notion.
It may ba urged that I ain't known.
Thats the very rctson why I shood be nom
inated. What wood VaUaudyguni give cf
lie wuns't known? We never succeed with
a known candidate. We kin say iu couu
tie where they prefer men whoso hand
wuzdrencht in goar that I killed my thou
sands; in counties where they went for
peace, by killin Provo Marshals and sich
that I wood hev died in my door yard,
rf I'd tied one, sooner than hev gone
South.
My other pints are ez follows:
1 kiu hold more uv the Democratic par
ty strate in traces than any other uutu in
the State. I wuz origiually a Democrat; 1
voted for Jackson and for every Dimocni
tie nominee from that date on to the pre
sent. It is my proudest boast, wich I wish
inseriben ou my tombstone when I hev gone
hence 1 n never scratched a tikket, My
war record is cuter. At the breakiu out
uv the war, I opposed everything the Gov
ernment did. I did not stun the Massa
chusetts aoljers in Baltimore, bdooz I wuz
not tlic re, but I tluni up my hat when I
ana , l .. .... u ..i f.;ttu t. 1

the contrary, when drafttd, I mad the
licst uv my way to Canada to Join Vallan
dyguin and only failed to niulto my CMcntiu
thro the treacliury uv a Abolitionist who
wormed hissclf iuto my conlidenee by hav
ing a copy of the Xoo York" l.iy Book and
a pint bottle uvsod com Whiskey in liia
hind coat pocket. I thought, in my inno
cence, that one so equipped cood not be
anything but a true Dimoerat, but I found
to my sorrow, that wolves often put on
nhpp'8 clothing bo perfectly c to deceive
the very elect. Arrested and taken to a
camp uv Li nk in hireling, I wuz clothed
in ojusi bloo, a musket WUe forat into my
unwillin hand, and I Wiik transported
Botithwnrd to dip my hand in the gonruv
my friend. Did I do it? Nol I deserted
the lirt Bight, and eaoaiMid to the Dimo
cratic hots, with whom i served till a bat
tlr! wti Imminent, when I made my way
North agin.
Rooitied by thia unlawful seezurc, for
the bait ut wich I wtlnst had credit refooit
ed to open accounts with mo agin, I devot
ed myself to abootun a tyrannical govern
ment engaged in prosccootin un tincon
stooshiicl War. 1 headed tlie Holmes cttuti
ty patriots Who res'mted dnil'ls, I organized
the Knites of the Golden Cii klc in Ohio
and Injany, and I orgauized more riots
than any one man in lliesu two Stalea. I
kin say trooly that doorin that short time,
no less than twenty young men, trancd
and iddicated by me, who liadn't the dis
tresheit to get out at the proper time, wuz
incarcerated in JJastecls, where they lan
guiMlit fur months.
Iy career since the mournful endin uv
the war is well known. I supported An
drew Johnson the moment he deserted the
Ablishnists. I wuz with him in his trium
phal progress thro the Xorth. 1 held up
his hands doorin the impeachment strug
gle, and I bought up three uv the Union
Senators wich' voted for acquittal. I as
sisted also in the. slaughter of niggers in
Memphis and Xoo Orleans.
I am, uv course, acceptable tothestrate
out Dimocracy, es I hold views entirely in
consonance with them. I am inflexibly
opposed to the pavment uv the nashnel
debt. I am opposed to the fifteenth amend
ment, and my ilawters, it I lieu sich, shool
never marry uiggars. On these questions
no man in Ameriky is more sounder than
am I.
The Dimocracy uv Ohio owe me this,
for services rendered. 1 he v been dragged
throo horse trolls for hurrahiti for Vallan
dygum. I hev bin pulled out uv my bed
in .lanooary by soljers and comiielled to
take oaths uv allegiance, and I languished
once in a liastilu for my steadfastuess to
dwell onto, but if no one else will I must.
I hev made other sacrifices, When torn
from my peeccful home to lite our friends
uv the South, I bed a wife which I loved.
Life wuz a peeccful strenie and we floated
calmly along. She took in washin and I
talked politics uv her labor in the suste
nance afforded at the bar, When I return
ed what met me? The killinofmen out
rite wuz not the most hart rending incident,
uv that fratricibie struggle. It wuz ihe
sevrin uv domestic ties the teariu down
uv domestic alters, and the separtin uv fam
ilies. When I returencd I wuz coldly met.
Looizer Jane was washin as yoosual only
harder than ever, and 1 notistthe children
hed new frocks and shoes. The fust after
noon I wuz at home 1 askt her in my old
familver way for a dollar and a haffezl-
! wanted to go down street.
"That i played!" she remarkt
"i levu'.t VOo got it?" I askt
"I hev," she replied, "and I pcrpose to
keep it. 1 hev discovered suthiu since
yoove ben gone. 1 hev found that it's easy
onulf to support myself and tho children,
washin at a dollar a dozen, but add to that
a litilkin man with a nose like yoors, and
its its harder than 1 keer. This house is
mine yoo kin vacate."
And she calmly rung out a shirt ez tho
wat she scd wuz a common place remark
instead uv a practikel divorse.
1 lett her. A feendish Ablishinent lied
! Pt tliis idea into her head and she lied ac-
tid onto it. Since that time I hev wended
my way alone, subsistin by chance. Ablish
nism owes me the home I bed. Ablisli
nism owes me the likker I ought to hev hed,
out uv wat that woman has earned sencu
that erooel day. O wat a fearful debt to
pay.
Theacoot Dimocrat may ask wat I want
uv a nominasheii when defeat is certain.
I is suthiu to be a candidate. I shood make
a vigrous campanc. The masses iu the
rooral decstricks don't ofteu see a candi
date for so high an otlis, and I shood beam
onto em all. l.'v course I shod this date
to the second Toosday in October hev free
likkers. The rank and file wood esteem
it an honor to drink with me, and I shood
consider it a convenience to drink with
them. For two months I shood hev all 1
wanted, wich wood be the happiest two
months in my life. I shood probably die
uv delirium tremens, but I cood afford it.
Oh wat a gorgus prospeck! Oh wat an
elysium! K'.vithv Dimocrasy uv Ohio be

Men AVithoct Hearts. We some
times meet with men who seem to think
that any indulgence in au affectionate feel
iuS is weakness. They will return from
a journey, aud greet their families with
a distinct dignity, and move among their
childreu with the cold and lofty splendor
of an icelxjrg surrounded by its broken
fragments. There is hardly a more uuua
lural sight on earth than oue of these fami
lies without a heart. Who that has exper
ienced the joys of friendship, aud values
sympathy and affection, would not rather
lose all that is beautiful in nature's scenery
thau be robbed of the hidden treasures of
his heart? Cherish, then, your heart's
bext attections. Indulge! in the warm and
gushing emotions of filial, paternal, nud
fraternal love. Mtm Muluck.

A Talk with an Elephant Trainer
How Elephant are Ed neat ed.
A Detroit paper, has the following :
"Haby Anmcj' exhibited on Friday nnd
Saturday in this city, is a popular and well
known as the majority of human actors,
who trond theboardB Instead of the sawdust
ring. Like them, she endeavors to nlennn.
and in her way feels chagrin as deeply when
she fails to receive' the approbation believed
to be merited. Sho is now five years old,
and though far from her 'teens,' is never
theless a pretty good lump of a body, weigh
ing eighteen hundred pounds. Her history
has !een carefully kept, and McLaughlin,
her trainer, can fell you everything about
her.
"At the time of her capture she was only
two years old ; but Smith, the captor, as
sisted bv a iHirtV of Africans nml rl.ur
found her as hard to control in her infancy !
ns most women ure oi a mature age. Alter
a few weeks' training she was started for
the coast, eight hundred miles away, and
Kcnyon has yet in his cages two large
hyenas that rode in baskets slung over Miss
Annie's back. Her cost in Xew York was
eight thousand dollars), and at tho time, of
her purchase she was the smallest elephant
in this country, and is still the smallest
genuine African elephant. Thoughjslie has
never licen hard pushed to test her endur
ance on the road, she once took a stretch
of fort-two miles over the rocky roads of
Pennsylvania in eleven hours, and showed
not the least sign of exhaustion.
"Miss Annie is a model female one of i
tlie old schoo.s and would as soon twist her
head off with her trunk as to harm a hu
man being who treated her courteously.
Last wioter.in her quarter's at Philadelphia,
she exhibited love nnd hate iu a very sin
gular manner. McLaughlin had imbibed
rather freely, and returning to the barn,
got into a difficulty with a policeman, who
Was bent ou arresting him. The cop had
been around tho barn a good deal, and was
somewhat acquainted with tlie elephant.
The trainer tied to tho barn, and getting
behind 'Baby,' refused to submit to arrest.
The M. P. Iwldly advanced to bring him
asitle with her trunk. This was repeated
several times, the trainer encouraging her,
when the policeman gave her an angry
blow with his baton nud sought to push
by. Blowing her shrill trumpet, 'Baby'
caught him around tlie waist, aud giving
him a strong whirl deposited tho frighten
ed blue coat in a barrel of oats thirty feet
away. As lie had no instructions to arrest
elephauts, aud could not arrest the man
without her, he concluded not to press mat
ters further.
"At another time lost summer, during
a hot night, Mclaughlin laid down beside
' Baby' on a bale of hay, and soon fell asleep.
Near him was the cage of the Bengal tiger,
a tierce and ungovernable animal, and
treacherous to the last degree. By lying
down the beast could get his paws at full
length under the bars, and on the morning
of that very day had tints given his unsus
pecting keeiier a stroke with his claws that
tore open the mau's check in a horr.ble
manner. Restless, McLaughlin rolled
about, aud the eyes of the Bengal glistened
as he saw the body coming nearer to hi9
cruel claws. At length, just as oue of the
keetiers entered the door, the trainer rolled
down so near that the tiger reached out and
caught his clothes, With a savage snarl,
he was straightening back for a pull, to get
the flesh under his nails, when the elephant,
who had also been sleeping, rose up at the
growl, and seeing the situation at a glance,
rushed forward, before the man at tlie door
had scarcely advanced a step, aud with a
blow of her trunk, made the tiger let go his

"Since her capture sho has increased se
ven hundred pounds in weight, and six
inches in height. Three years ago she had
not a sign of a tusk; now she has ivories
six inches long, and growing finely, lu
the summer, when the weather is dry, she
gets a bath at every creek, and her trainer
gives her a dozen pails of water over the
back if standing long in the tent. About
twice a year she gets six gallons of linseed
oil rubbed over her skin; without it, the
hide would get so dry as to feel aud sound
like a board. Her usual feed per day is a
bushel of oats and one hundred aud filly
pounds of hay, and she drinks, if moder
ately thirsty, twenty pails of water at a
time.
As stated, she is very docile, minding
readily if she understands what is wanted.
Doing wrong, through ignorance, let her
trainer 'bless her eyes' a little, and 'Baby'
shows as much sorrow as a repentant in
fant. As this is her third season, tho per
son must be sharp who cau impose UMn
her a worthless gift. About four weeks
ago a man gave her a stick of candy which
had been soaked for some time in tobacco
juice. Seeming not to mind the joke,
JJiiby' wailed a little, and wlieu the joker
had almost forgotten the incident, she took
up a huge piece of liver, lying near the
cage of lions, and sent the mass full against
the fellow's breast, knocking him down,
aud altogether spoiling the liosom of his
white shirt, and his ideas of superior
smartness.,'
Matrimonial Advance.
The Rev. Dr. Bushucll, in his new book,
"The Reform Against Nature," writcson
this subject as follows :
I speak here of a reform that takes off, or
somehow loosens tho embargo on woman,
ps rcsects advances toward marriage.
The assumption now that women must be
first lassoed and taken, courted long aud
skillfully theu, and almost to the death,
before they tan venture an approving Lok.
If they cannot be conquered theu, they
must not be had, and they must tako this
ground themselves. On one side there must
be a close fcuce or prudery, hard as jwssihle
to be got over ; and on the oilier, the man
who will try, must go to it bravely, which
alas for his modesty, is likely to be quite
impossible. Full three-quarters of the men
who get Btuck iu their batchelor lite and
are never married, are, iu fuel, the most in
born adorers of women ; such as never in
their lives can muster courage for any ad
vance, just because Ihe shrine they look
upon has too much divinity in it pjr their
mortal approach.

THE Sl'N ECLIPSE.
AT SHELBY V1LLK, KY.
Sheldyville,- via Eminence, Ky.,'
Aug. 7. The observations here to-day were
very satisfactory nud in many respects'
cratifvinif. TlinTnlliitrlnc rtpntnti corit- j
H prised the joint board of observation for ,
Mieivyvuio : l'rot. Jos. Winlock, ot Har
vard University, in 'charge of the observa
tions of the phenomena, assisted by Alviti
G. Clark, Prof, at Cambridge G. W. iX-an,
of the Coast Survey, in charge of the ob
nervations of proeision, assisted ' by F.
Blake, Jr. of the Coast Survey ; J. A.
Whipple, of Boston, assisted by Geo. Clark
and J. Pendergast, had charge of photo
graphs ; Prof. Searleof Xew York, devot- .
ed himself to observations of general phe- ,
uometia, and during the total phase was ,
to search for inter-niercurial planets ; sub- '
assistant T. H. Agnew also devoted him
self to observations of general phenomena,
and had charge of the observatory arrange
ments, being assisted by U. K. Sherrad, of
Louisville. The meteorological observa
tions were made by Prof. Seymour, of
Ixiuisville and-Robcrt Louis of Khclbyville.
Among the amateurs present were Mr.
BowdiU.li, of Boston, a son of the celebrat
ed astronomer. One of the most impor
tant discoveries made by Prof. Winlock,
ot the spectroscope, wits eleveh bright lines
in the siicctruni of the protuberances of the
sun, only five having ever heretofore been de
termined. He also observed a shower of
meteors between the moon and the earth.
The party arc jubilant over their success.
Photographs of the sun were taken at diff
erent times during the partial obseruration.
The beautiful reel flames of solar protuber- ,
ances were visible to the naked eye. Bailey's
lieads, as well as the dark nnd dismal
shadow of the moon sailing awny through
the air, were noted by a party ot amateurs
stationed ou the top of Shelby College. Tin;
sky was perfectly clear aud everythiu
seem to propitiate tho success of observa
tions. There were ten or twelve mounted
instruments in use on tho occasion, tho
principal one of which was the Shelby Col
lege telescope, which was handled by Prof.
inlock, assisted bv Alviu G. Clark, of
Cambridge, Mass. This is a line instru
ment, and cost SLOW ; it once ranked
third in the United States. Vega, Venus
and Mercury were visible to the naked eyo
during the total phase. Mr. Searle, who'se
duty it was to search for iutermcrcurial
planets, did not succeed in finding any :
reporting nothing fainter than regular one
near tlie sun.
When the sunlight commenced to become
dim a large number of citizens rushed to
the collego grounds, the head quarters of
the observation. Eight minutes before tho
total phase the usual phenomena of distur
bance among the birds of the air and cattle
occurred. Six minutes before totality a
deathly ashen hue overspread the faces of
all present and for awhile the firmest heart
ed were terrified.. The scene during totali
ty was au awful one, and when the sun
light appeared again a shout of exultation
went up from the great crowd ou the col
lege grounds.
Baptist Brother : I don't like your
church government. It isn't simple enough.
There is too much machinery about it.
Methodist brother : It is true, we have
more machinery than you ; but then, you
see, it don't take near so much water to
run it.

I'reNervation of Leather,
The foil wing valuable hints iu regard to
the preservation of leather wc copy from
the Shot and Leather JtejHirtcr !
"The extreme heat to which most men
and women expose Isiots aud shoes during
winter deprives leather of its vality, ren
dering it liable to break and crack.
"When leather become so warm as to
give off the smell of leather, it is singed.
Close rubier shoes also destroy the life of
leather. All varnishes, and all blacking
containing the properties of varuisb, should
be avoided.
"hoe leather is generally abased. Per
sons know nothing or care less about thw
kind of material used than the do about'
the polish produced. Yitrol baUiklhg i?
used until every particle of oil iu t) leath
er is destroyed. To remedy this alwe tho
leather should be washed once a month
with warm water aud when about half dry
a coat of oil and tallow should be applied
ond the boots set aside for a day or two.
This will renew the elasticity aud life iu
the leather, and when thus used upper
leather will seldom crack or break.
"Don't wash harness in water and with
soap. Xo harness is ever so soiled that a
damp sponge will not remove the dirt.
When harness loses its lustre aud turns
brown, which almost auy leather will do
after long exposure to the air, tho harness
should be given a new coat of grain black.
Before using this grain-black, the grain
surface should be thoroughly washed with
potash water until all the grease is killed,
and after tho application of ihe grain-black
oil and tallow should be applied to the sur
face. This will not only 'fasten the color,'
but make the leather flexible. Harness
which is grained can lie cleaned with kero
seue or spirits of turpentine, uud no harm
will result if the parts allected are washed
aud oiled immediately afterward."
How to Make Tomato Figs. Pour
boiling water over the tomatoes in order to
remove the skins ; then weigh them and
place them iu a stone jar, with as much
sugar as you have tomatoes, and let them
stand two days ; then pour otl the syrup,
and boil nud'skim it until no scum rises.
Then pour it over tho tomatoes, aud let
them stand two days as before : theu boil
