In distances 'twixt star and star ;
He named with ease each point of light
tl'hat twinkles in the sky at night ,
Yet on his wisdom's learned chart

And still brothcr's tcar-staincd

Dogs are said to be numerous

Hiding in a Burlington dining

I There are times when nothing
on earth will touch the spot like

egate to thc republican national
1 conven tion. If Mr. : Breede is
.
. .I called upon to make a motion or
I troduced a resolution , he will
