0 HIGH and low there comes an hour A maid? She marks her favorite swain That rules them all with equal power. With pleasure, though much more with pain, They may be dull, they may be learned, And thinks what bliss her bliss must be Full sweetly sought, full sourly spurned ; Who wins one kiss from such as he ; But in that hour, with doubt replete, And chides herself for thought so rude, Not one is braced by self-conceit. Yet, trembling, wishes that he would! Aman?

OUR GRAND OLD MAN. HE COUNTRY and the world say good-bye to Mr. Blaine with the keenest regret. His retirement is not graceful—the pity of it !—but his greatness and his disappoint- ments are in touch with and have the sympathy of every man and woman the country through. Life is too short for such men, let them linger to the end of its longest span. With their weaknesses magnified and their strength belittled by their surroundings, only history can do them justice; and under this test Mr. Blaine’s will be the colossal figure of our politics for the quarter of a century following the civil war. YOUR UNCLE BEN. HE RENOMINATION of Benjamin Harrison is a triumph for fair play and open dealing, and again emphasizes the great truth that honesty is the best politics. It is a triumph for the JUDGE as well. It is still more a victory for the Republican party, and will assuredly be followed by one more glorious in November.
