Laid by in my silent chamber, I hear them stirring below ; Voices I love are sounding clear, And steps I know are in n.ine ear, Still passing to and fro. And I ask my heart shall I never more Of mine own will pass through that Joor? I ask, O! is it forever \ That I have ceased to be One of the group around the hearth. Sharing their sorrrow or their mirth ? Am I from henceiorth free From all concern with the things ot life, Done with its sorrow, and toil and strife? Shall they carry me forth in silence, With blind and sealed up eyes ? Shall they throw the windows wide to the air And gather momentoes here and there, As they think with tears and sighs, “This she was fond of—this she wore. But she never shall need them any more?” POLITICAL TRICKS. HOW POLITICIANS OBTAIN SUPPORT. A STORY BY AN OFFICE SEEKER AS TO HOW A CONGRESSMAN MADE FINE PROMISES OF POSITION—SOMETHING CAN BE READ WITH PROFIT. It is over now, and I feel calmer, but I will say I am “a sadder (or madder) and a wiser man.” Sallie, (that’s my wife) has at last conclu ded to drop the subjet, but it will be hard to erase the trouble from her mind, and it has taught me a lesson likewise. To tell the story straight I must begin at the begin ning. VISITS WASHINGTON. My late visit to Washington was no sudden move on my part. I ■ had the plan in view ever since last October. When Colonel was running for Congress in this dis trict, we had a long conversation one day in JohnSnaitli’s store—(in the back room, sitting on the bed). I had been down in the lower part of the district for him and distribu ted a lot of circulars and other po litical documents. It had cost mtf some money, which I could not well spare, nor the time either for that matter : but I told Sallie it would be no loss in the end, for Colonel was such a gentleman, he would refund the amount the first time I saw him, for he made me under stand so much. The day we met in John Smith’s store, I told him of the trip and encouraged him with the good prospect, and he seemed very grateful, caught hold of the la pel of my coat, and said : “Old fellow, you are a trump—l’ll never forget you—no, never ! When the Forty-eight Congress meets, the House will be Democratic. Offices and positions will be as plenty as blackberries in June. Would you not like a clerkship that would pay you six dollars per day—or $2,200 per year?” Well I thought of my hard struggle to “make buckle and tongue meet,” at home, and I grate fully answered “either.” “Well,” said the Colonel, “you must get ready to go to Washington at that time, and I pull you through. I expect to be chairman of the com mittee on , and I’ll make you my clerk. You will have literally nothing to do, because that com mittee did not meet but two or three times last session, and you can live easy and (with a knowing look), Uncle Sam will foot the bill. If I am not made chairman, there are hundreds of other places that will pay, from fifty to one hundred dollars a month—nothing easier than that job. Keep your own counsel—a hint to the wise is suffi cient.” I left that back room A HAPPY MAN. I lost sight of the little bill of ten dollars, (traveling expenses), that I intended to talk about— in fact I was ashamed to present it, in the face of suoh abounding gen erosity. Sallie squinted her eyes in a very aggravating, manner, when I told her about it, and my patience had quite a trial when she said, “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” Women is “rum” creatures, but I am obliged to say. Sallie saw further into the mill stone that time than I did. We owed ten dollars on the cow that Goss had sold me in the summer, and poor Goss has not got the money yet. I never look at the old muley without gnashing my teeth. I have strayed from my subject, however. As soon as Congress met, ; I went to town to confer with Col onel .Sallie needed a pair of shoes and she went with me. I drove around to his office, but they told me there he was up at home. The case was urgent, so we drove around to the house. Sallie re mained in the buggy while 1 went in. The servant at the door said he had gone down town after din ner. I felt pretty hungry myself, as *.ve had an early start that mor j ning and I remembered how Sallie I had slaved herself last summer, i when the candidates speak ing “b'out” close to our house, and what a good dinner she set before them—but I said nothing for a sufficient reason, wlien I took the | reins and started for home. As we ! turned the corner, I am much mis taken if I did not see our member going away from his house by a back street. As Sallie did not see him, I wisely kept my thoughts to myself. I decided to start to Wash ington anyway ; and told Sallie to put up all my best clothes, because it would save trouble, as I would have nothing, to do but to etart right in to work, and I shoixu 'make her,a handsome remittance | the first month, and shecotfld pay old Goss, and buy that Alpaca dress she had talked aboubso long. While I am at it, I’ll tell it all and be done with it. Last summer her mother made her a present* of twelve dollars to buy this same al paca, but she put off the purchase until the fall. After my talk in John Smith’s back room about Washington, etc., I made another electioneering trip for the Colonel, Sally loaned mo the money to get a thick coat for the occasion. I STARTED TO WASHINGTON, that night, to be on time. Sallie, poor woman, run herself nearly to death, to get me a lunch ready and to have my shirts in good order, and we parted quite tearfully in the certain prospect of a separa tion of several weeks and perhaps mouths, if those blamed Radicals did resolved to keep Congress in session all summer. The Colonel met me most cordi ally—offered me a cigar, said he wished he had known I was coming introduced me two or three distin guished members who were pretty red about the eyes, considering the early hour, and I sat down to lis ten to their animated talk about the Speakership. I listened awhile in openeyed wonder, and quite for got how time was passing, until somebody said it was twelve o’clock. I rose and fumbled with my hat, hoping that the Colonel would say something that I could rely upon, about the place he had’seeured for me, for SalH#* begged I would write as soon as I got to the city and tell her all about it. Finally I said “Colonel can I see you a moment ?” He followed me to the door, and slapped me on the arm he said: “Why, old fellow, it looks like home to see you here ? What can I do for yon ?” I pro ceeded to make my statement, which he heard very calmly and then remarked, “O, yes, I’ll do all I can for you; come to see me to night.” A GLOOMY OUTLOOK. To make a long story short, this was the beginning of a six weeks’ stay —a sojourn that I anticipated very anxiously at home, but reali zation of which proved as bitter as the “apples of Sodom.” Don’t suppose I found it out at first—no sir. It took me a long time to see myself as others saw me”—one of the thousands which thronged that city in search of the same ignis fat uus, which lured so many poor men from their homes. I saw the i Colonel frequently and he was al ways as bland as a may Morning —always ready to “endorse” me and constantly advising me to see the other members from the State and enlist them in my behalf. Mv remnant of the fifty dollars was growing smaller and beautifully less in the meantime, and I got so troubled in my mind that I did not sleep at night—my food, which was sorry enough, heaven knows, did not nourish me, and I finally resolved to have a straight talk with the Colonel, and give him to understand what I expected him to do, and what was done, must be done quickly. I went to his room after supper and knocked. “Come in,” said a voice that I knew to be Fletcher’s. I went in. The Colonel and Flet cher were having a jolly time, and somehow it grated on my feelings. I did not feel jolly, and did not try to look so. The Colonel said, “Take a seat, old fellow, while I fin ish reading Fletcher’s article in the ‘DEMOCRATIC blazer,’ it’s first-rate; would you like to hear it ?” What the article was I never could recollect, I found my mind full of ominous fears—some how or other Fletoher impressed me as the ohosen one, and not to anticipate future events, that is the way it went. Sallie’s letter that morning hinted as much, but I did not see the matter in that light; but it now appeared all plain to me. My heart sunk within me. Fletcher took up his hat and star ted pretty soon. Colonel then turned to me, and said, “I have been trying to find a good place for you, and I am sorry to say I ' have not succeeded very well.— TERMS i—-$2 OO per Annum, In Advance. WHOLE NUMBER 560| There is one messenger’s place and a place on the capitol police, and they are about all.” I interrup ted with “I was to get the clerk ship if you became chairman ; and as you have that place, why not give it to me ?” My anxiety made my speech more direct tfian poli tic, for 1 saw the shadew hich pass ed over his face. Leaning his arm on my knee, he said, “Fletcher was promised that place during the campaign, but I wish you had it, you are so much more competent, etc.; but he has so many strong friends at home that are pressing him, that I was forced to give it to him, but don’t be discouraged— I’ll get you that messenger’s place I’m pretty sure. That will pay you I sixty dollm; per montk, sud noth ing to do. 4 If I bad Jjt>t recollected Cousin Bob, not to speak of POOR SALLIE and my dear mother-in-law, I should have given him a piece of mv mind, then aud there, but I re flected that*a half loaf was better ihan no bread, infd I made free to .tell him I was nearly out of means aud must get it quick or I could not stay longer in the city. My last dollar disappeared. The Colonel got to dodging me —and finally in my desperation I went to a hardfaced member from an adjoining State and told him my story. It was a trial, because I bad sneered at the old fellows pre tentions and had said more than once that he was a poor stick to go to Congress. For my part, I am free to con fess that it is a greater relief to my mind that I stopped the “Demo cratic Blazer” as soon as I reach ed home. It makes no more visits to my house, you bet. Office Seeker. THE WHISKY BULL Has been beaten by a vote so de cisive as to leave no nargin for fur ther discussion. A Democratic House retires the government from the business of ripening whisky for a monopoly and paying for the privilege of doing it at the same time. This action ought to commend the Democratic party to the confi dence and the support gf the good men of the country.' •* This audacious and powerful mo nopoly, which has virtually dicta ted its own terms to the govern ment for years ; which has controll ed elections and divided high offi ces and'rich patronage, has been humbled and crushed, beyond a rallyiug point. This has been ac- complished under circumstances not auspicious to the task. That it should have been accomplished under such circumstances, strength ens the ground for congratulation. From this time forward a differ ent tone will be given to legislation. Smarting under defeat and disap pointment, the main supporters of the measure may be loud an vio lent in their threats. The country may be treated to a series of lurid, hand-painted pro nunciamentoes, but there will be much more of noise than harm. Tariff reform legislation must languish, even if, indeed, it do not die, for tariff re form and the whisky bill, though differing widely in sound, were at the core convertible terms, the one dependent upon the other. The Morrison horizontal bill must now stand or fall upon its own merits, the powerful props of personal and financial influence having been cut away. There is another interesting con sideration connected most intimate ly with this subject. The presses which have most vehemently sup ported the whisky bill never found time and space sufficient for denun ciations of bloated monopolies. A Democratic House has shown its entire willingness and capacity to deal with monopolies. It has seiz ed the most powerful and blatant one in the countrv, has hauled it up to the bar and beheaded it, without benefit of clergy. This ac tion leaves Henry Watterson and Greene B. Raum out of a present job. Let these statesmen go out upon the highways and by-ways and seize the next most powerful monopoly, or any monopoly that may be found. Let them drag it to the block, and bid a Democratic House behead it. A little active work of this kind will supercede the necessity, if it now exists, for the Morrison horizontal bill.—Macon Telegraph. This was a child’s definition of faith in Christ, and it is both clear and correct. Christ said He would save those who trusted in Him, and He will. No donbt, no fear, no suspense. He says that He will “give grace and glory,” and that “no good thing will lie withhold from them that walk uprightly.” Yes, reader, He will do as He lias promised. “He said he would, and He will.’’
