Dead Hopaa- Think (So J tor the things that we have iiot, The things we have hoped in vain ; There are blessings as great or greater. Sometimes, than those we obtain. There was orce a dream that I cherished In the days of long afro. In the halcyon days of beyhood And youth's niaturcr glae, It was uot a dream of ambition, Nora vlfinu of fame and power ; Twas only the hope of posseslnR A Fimle, God-made flower. It was not my lot to reach It. Secure in its natal spot ; It grew among ruses and lilie?, A.t blue forgct-me-nct. And yet like a star from heaven. Like a crag on the summit hli;li; That allures the spirit toward The abyss of the fathomless sky. So far from the ptU lu the vallny. As it grows on its eunny height, It drew my spirit upward With the gleam of ita heaven-bom light. My heart with its beauty and fragrance, My life with its joy it filled ; So meaner thing could eochain me, While its love iny being m edi I thtni'ht that porhaps In the future lVrhaps when life's battle was won, Tu..t flower of tuy heart might blossom I'.adiant a? star or sun. Bull missed, and with dimming vision lieheld the receding shore The abysses lie between , I shall never s3 tt more. And yet I do not regret it, Or if caue of regret I see, Tis regret of the things that make iw Vet know no t how prized tney be. God knows that I nevr harmed it, Or shaded ths sunlight fair ; Cut If prayers return iu blessing. That flowers has blessings rare. God bless it now jnd forever For the good it did for me. For the power which drew me up ward. And the thing which yet shall he. And God be orulsed forever For the hopes we have hoped in vain. The prayers which remain unanswered, And the things we can never attain. Samuel B. Foster. Love's Heritage. Bend o'er me, Miie as summer skies. The azure eplendor of thine eyes. And smile with Hps whose murmur tells. Like lingering Round of far-off bells O'er shining seas ; that thou for me Art pklcs and sound and summer sea ! Skies that contain the eun and moon. The stars . the birds, the wind of June, And tones that, swelling far and near. Bear more than music in mine ear ; and sea, above whose changeless hue The suu is bright, the sky is blue ! Art thou my star? Sweet love, thour't more Than all that ever twilight bore ; Art thou my song? Dear love, from thee Tiie whole world takes its melody Art thou? nay ! what can words Impart To tell one dram of what thou art. Thou art my all : I know that love Rains from the deepening dome above In silver dew-drops, that the earth Receives wit'i hushed and solemn mlr'.h ; So thou all seasons linked In one Art flower, :ia I bird and breeze and sun ! Century. INCERSOLL. His Arguments and His Methods. Mr. Inge rsoll says that Christ was a great man, a manly man, a lover of freedom, but no more. Tbat He was enthusiastic, but not inspired. The position ad mil 6 of but little argument. It is above the cackle of the present and the turmoil of petty reasonings. The divinity of Christ must rest upon belief. It is Dot a subject to be made the football of pros and' cons. The grand simplicity of the life He led, aud the pastoral beauty of llis wander ings and teachings along the highways and through the byways of Galileo, the epleiioid courage with which lie taught Hi ; truth that was to be the lLjht of f.ii wo. Id, in thu face of the death which was sure to come, the marvelous quality of His words which gave them a universality which will reach to the end of time, the sweet manliness, the exquisite justice, the broad genrosity which marked II;s every step all these may belong to earth and to man, but have never been repeated in any life which has been lived since, nor were they known in any tif, wbteh bad t:n Ilv before Him. Ho preserved the harmony to tho last against temporal and church jower, and at the end He was the joint sacri fice of both. Only in His utterances in'the last hours is there found any thing for' the quibblers to pick over, and theso are His words in the garden. And wjiat is there in them? When tho stern starless darkness hung over the olives of Gethsemanr , and the dis ciples who could "not watch one hour" were asleep, when the winds shuddered eerily Jhrouh the shrinking loaves, WhfS the Spirit of Dread stood like a sentinel between the time that had gone and tho tomorrow that was to be au eud.yet n beginning, when the God life that "had been a poem of grace and love and light was .vaudvriog down the Valley of I he Shadow to tho deepei blackness of a tragedy. Is it tlranye that ll.e Rieal sud cy-d Soul of Hu manity who w;is both nun and God should have suffered like the one ami eudured like the other? It is the ac cepted theory of free thought that it was the tear of death, born of the hu -man in Him, which thrilled through the pathos of that wild cry: "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from tue!' Yet is it not tuwrc rotable that it was the profound sorrow and pity that His people were about to commit a great and causeless crime that forced the words? Does not the later prayer which came from His whitening lips when, with ttuutleruble love, He looked from his dimmed uud ding eyes upo i His murderers, and a Mediator in the death which was life cried out: "Fath er, forgive them, for they know nut what they do!'' support newer theory. Perhars not! They eay that lie was only a man. Ah, well! We are men ?Jso. Has tho work two meanings? VI. Mr. Ingersoll says that the life of Christ and the doctrines Qf Christ are similar to the life of liuddha and the docttines of Buddha. This has been s.v.d often enough before, but repetition dors uot make it tiuc The statement only provts a lack of analytical knowledge There are resemblances but they are n!y sn:fac. 3i.ddha was a prince Hu lived in the languid luxuriance of an Oriental court until he became tired of life and all that pertainc J to it. He saw sickness and sorrow and death about him, and the belief that to exist was to suffer became a conviction. All was vanity and vexation. Therefore he abandoned his tnaguificeucc, desert ed his wife, assnmed the garb of a beg gar, humiliated himself ai:d went out into the world for the secret of happi ness. For seven years he sat under a tree and meditated, aad when the sev en years wero ended, he found his an swer, and went abroad preaching that happiness lay in utter annihilation, in a 6tate 3 of Nivana. in which there was nor thought, cor action, nor hope, nor fear, nor love, nor hate, tlis heaven is a voiceless void. His reward i3 a se rene nothing. He believed in doiDg good, and tie taught his belief but in this the resemblance begins and ends. Ilia doctrine is a doctrine of skepti cism, a weariness of life, a dread of action, a repugnance to responsibility, an appeal for extinction. The par allel between Christ an Z Buddha is drawn by ignorance DEMOCRATIC CAUL. Very frequently during the past year, we have reminded the democratic masses of the fact, that, their psuedo leaders were a parcel of insincere po lilical mountebanks, parading the free trade humbug for the purpose of catching a certain class of sentimental ist3, or theorists, upon the economic question ot government, who other wise would fiud no place of refuge within the democratic camp. We have charged the whole thing was a humbug, which no political party dared champion in a national campaign. We have charged that the moment the campaign was opened upon the coun try for the selection of a national ticket the democratic party would give the free trade foundling the grand bounce. We witnessed the first knock down and out, of this British beggar, in Ohio, when the "glorious Hoadly," as Doc tor Miller calls the present governor of that State, was nominated; the next and most humiliating episode, was, when the Carlisle-Morrison combina tion tendered the country their dis honest, horizontal, war tax reduction measure which the other day met its untimely and deserved fate at the hands of both republicans and demo crats in CoDgress by having its head amputated; aud now in our own State4 In free trade Nebraska (?) we behold the amuaiug f arc$ nlayed with a bolder and more tinblushirfg effrontery then has yet been exhibited in any demo cratic convention. "We behold tho great attorney of tho Union Pacific monopoly, the detender and champion of Oakes Ames and Credit Mobiiier, patronizingly talc ing charge of our Nebraska democracy and, as chairman of IU committee on platform, bringing into its councils a cut and dried resolution saying that our protective tariff 'should "be so adjusted as to prevent as farc.it "possible uuequal burdens upon labor, and to bear most heavily upon arti cles of luxury and lightly upon articles 'of necessity." "We desire to have all our democratic friends read this deft aad liim state ment of the tariff Question by Mr. Pop- pleton, the great attorney of the Union Pacific railro ul, aid then remember how they lvtvt; been cursing the repub lican party for advocating the same doctrine from time immemorial. Fol lowing this resolution, wo call upon our tree trade neighbors to gaze upon the distinguished free trader and anti-1 monopolist from .."Arbor Springs Lodge," sailing down to Chicago upon this tariff plunk and the picture is coot. plete;didthe democratic convention, just over, at Lincoln iiecu anytuing more than Mr. Poppltton and his plat form to cap the climax f its ridicu lousness. Mr. Poppletou himself, fur nished it in his address when ho de nounced monopolies and national banks. Had Jay Gould and "William H. Vauderbilt been present as vice presidents of this convention and been members of the committee on reeolu tioas the absurdity of the farce would not have been heightened thereby. The performance of Judas Iscaiiot when he was negotiating his lord and master was a decenttr affair than this peifornianco of our Nebraska reform demecracy; Uih common herd wUlnow please step up, and swallow the dose without murmuring, and in the mean time the Herald will keep note of their pule, temperature, and respira tion.
