The Old Home.
1 went to the dear old home to-day,
But ah ! how changed the spot;
Each flower and shrub we loved to tend
Lay withered and forgot ;
And tears come, tho' 1 pressed them back,
When I viewed the time stained walls,
And thought of those who long ago
I tuet within its halls.
Our father ha* gone long year; a:»o
To a fairer home in the skies,
And marble marks the silent place
Where his aged body lie* ;
For he was the iirst of the household band
That the reaper gathered in,
And left so lonely, the dear old home
Whose light and joy he'd been.
Ami no mother came to the open door,
With smiling, happy face,
And showed by each ton I word and look
That I still held there a place;
1 thought of her on that happy shore,
In a brighter, happier home,
Patiently waiting at the golden door,
Till all her household come.
And still another, with golden hair;
Our sister, fair and true,
Oh ! sadly I missed her ringing laugh,
And words of welcome too.
Her grave is trade near our parents dear,
And H .iwers ol beautiful bloom,
Bend lightly o'er her silent du*t,
And scatter their rich perfume.
And now not one, that I used to love,
Meet me within tnat home ;
All are not dead, but far away
In other lands they roam,
But O! I missed them sadly'there
Among the old home bowers ;
Friends of the beautiful by-gone days;
Friends of my childhood's hours.
I turned from that home to memory dear,
From the loved old home to-dav;
The trees waved low, and seemingly stood
Like sentinels old and gray.
But faith -points far to another home,
Where all is joy and love,
And there we'll meet, at the Sxvior's feet,
In our Father's house above.
L. J. O.
The Motherless.
They are motherless ! Oh, gen-
tly keep back those bitter words.
Avert that cold, cruel stare ; see
you now the tearful eye? Alas!
that sorrow should ever make a
child's heart its home !
They are motherless! Strange
hands ministering to their daily
wants—strange hearts wearing of
irksome duty.
No fond, sweet kisses of warm
embrace! No gentle words of
comfort, and love No soft fold-
ing of little hands in prayer! No
mother!
Missing the low, sweet cadence
of her voice; missing that good
night! seeking, seeking all in vain,
that ark for the weary dove—a
mother's heart.
Draw the little form near to
your heart. Pillow the achiug
head upon your bosom. Think
ot your own sunny childhood —
your mother's love, her geutle
care, her patient forbearance, her
precious forgiveness. Then only
in kindness let your hand rest
on each honored little head; only
in love reprove the little flock.
Oh ! let yours be the baud that
will lead them iu the green past-
ures and beside the still waters of
the precious savior's love! Let
yours be the blessed benediction.
'In as much as ye have done it to
the least of these ye have doue it
to me.' Ilenieiuber that angels
do always behold the face of our
Father in Heaven. Then it may
be that a child's hand will lead
you to that heavenly home—a
child's hand place ihe crown upou
your brow.
trying to antagonize Grant by put-
ting Blaine forward are the very
journals that in 1876 slaughtered
Blaine without mercy or con-
science. Are they better friends
at heart now?—[Omaha Republi-
can.
Independents will not make the
utter blunder of recoiling from a
third terra into the arms of Blaine.
Meantime, the fight against Blain-
ism has not yet really begun. It
can be made terribly effective
when the proper time comes.—
[Springfield. Mass., Republican.
We believe that Grant once a
candidate, the political hacks and
wire-pullers will have about as
much chance of success as Buek-
ner had at Fort Donelson, or Pem-
berton at Yicksburg. Finally we
believe in General Grant, and we
do not believe in ttie politicians
and wire-pullers.—[New York
Era.
The action of the Republican
State Committee gives general sat-
isfaction to the Republicans of this
section. The delegates are all
staunch stalwart Republicans, and
they will vote for no man at Chi-
cago who will not stand by the
Republicans of the South, regard-
less of color.—[Wilmington, N.
0., Post.
Should Grant take the office to*
morrow ho would enter it as un-
fettered by any third term objection
as when he first stepped into the of-
fice from the rank of Commander-
in-chief of the United States Ar-
my. The whole third-term cry
is utterly meaningless, so far as it
effects General Giant's eligibility
as a candidate, but may serve a
purpose in advancing the interests
of less available men.—[foleda
Journal.
All the distinguished men nam-
ed for the Republican nomination
are eminently good and fit men,
aud would administer the govern-
ability and the largest experience.
Both ability and experience can be
found in either of the three men-
tioned. Give us as a candidate a
man we know. Let us go into the
canvass with our eyes wide open.
Let the views of the overwhelm-
ing majority of Republican voters
prevail. Let no Republican, af-
ter the nomination, be forced to
ask, who is this nominee? Let
one of the three men who are
now confessedly the strongest be
nominated. Let not the strongest
have to give way to (tie weak.

A "lCSieuuiatiz" lieuieily.
Tiie other day Dr. Washington,
a colored man, was arraigned be-
fore a justice of the peace, charged
with something like medical mal-
practice. He liad given a colored
man a dose of medicine, and the
colored man lived but one hour
afterwards.
The justice was a colored man.
and probably knew as much about
law as the other did about medi-
cine. When the doctor had beeu
arraigned the justice asked :
''Dr. Washington, how long is
