BY M. M. Amid the changing scenes of life 'T'hat cheer the coming view, The fairest prospects that appear hasten to pursue; But yet whatever path we tread Obstacles we will meet, And taste amnon the fruits of life, The bitter wish the sweet. The wealthy seek in pleasure's lap The joys that few find; And poverty canii only hope Coit'ntntient of the mind. Whatever cast our destiny May lling, unto our feet, The best ndil kindest will but turn The bitter with the sweet.

The young look forth with fervent hope For all the joys of wealth, The old look back upon the past And only for health; You will delight in sunny skies, all the 'heart would greetButi age lhais seeu it all -amml drank The bitter with the sweet. When furtune smiles uno, our lot sniouthly flows the There's not a ripple to disturb 'Th'le sweet andi(l happy dream. But when misfortune sends its blast Our bletsings to defeat, Oh, thenl we'll driink in every cup The bitter with the sweet. The weary nfmay grow light, Intrludillig cires Tho'li' 'lTiine's hand shall fall To strike their t'rrios dumb-There is a hleavenl above all, Aiillove without dlceit; Buti while on we ail nmuist taste The bitter with the sweet.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN OIO1110-OW A YOUNG AMATEUR ACTOR LOST ISl LIFE. CINCINNATI, 0., March 12. A tragedy of a most peculiar na ture is reported fiho0n Coal Run in this State. The young men of the public school at that place were preparing for an exhibition(, and had under rehearsal an original dirama for thlie occsion. To make the effect mlore impressive upon1 the rural audience, revolvers anal bowie knives were In one 0 ornion of the play, a young named MaIson was to receive a dagger thrust from Stephen Rumble.

A sack of red flui i was under his clothes, and a wooden was to plrotect lhim'from the blow. But in the excitement oi rehearsal the breast changed position, and the ldagger went to M3ason's heart. He died Mason and Rnmble were fast friends and members of the same to the New York Times. Thrift. HOW BLAINE AND MORTON FIX UP THEIR DISPATCHES.

Blaine and Morton are sendin'; to the Associated Press items regard ing their relations toward the new Administration. Both see that they were on the wrong lead in making so open a fight as theirs was at first, and are trying to smooth it over to the public. Blaine sent to the Asso elated Press yesterday an item which was telegraphed over the country to the effect that lie had dinsd with I Evarts and Schurz when he "laughed bver the reports," and that lie had attended the President's recepti6n: that his best frienid, Bob Ingersoll, took dinner with the President.Blaine also sent to the office of a correspondent for a New York paper, Friday night, a paragraph that he was nct on hostile terms with the new Administration. While they are putting such stuff into the public press, it is a known fact here that they are as hostile to the policies of the Administration as they were at the beginning. The difference is that they intend to fight overcome them in a quieter way.

Ingersoll to. dlay refused to sign recommendations for offices for some of his nearest friends, solely on the grounai, as he said, that he did not know whether he would oppose the Administration or Special to St. Louis Republican. -THERE is something refreshing in the absolute astonishment that visitors to a printing office sometimes display at the commonest things. "What is that black looking thing standing up in that corner?" is sometimes asked by an unsophisticated observer; and the nearest typo answers: "That is the printing office towel.

We always stand it up in the corner." The Cloven Foot. Rutherfraud has already begun to show the cloven foot in connection with his alleged Southern policy. We say his "alleged" Southern policy, because there is as yet absolutely nothing to show that he intends to act honestly toward the South, beyond the hopes and surmises of a few optimists, and the eager anticipations of a few hungry office seek ers. We have had plenty of fair words, and possibly plenty of fair promises; but nothing is ea'sier than to gloss over the words and evade or repudiate the promises. If we are not greatly mistaken, the process of evasion and repudiation has already begun.

Rutherfraud's acts engender the suspicion that he intends to keep the word of promise to the ear, but break it to the hope. Evarts hastened to repudiate Stanley Matthews, who is now generally represented as having spoken without authority. The Blaine party has ceased its attempt to storm the Hayes outworks, but is busily engaged in undermining the citadel. As the spurious president is seen to weaken, the Radical organs all along the line pluck up courage, and strike at him over the shoulders of Stanley Rutherfraud appears to be holding himself in readiness to repudiate himself, and it is to be feared that he is too sharp at a bargain, and too much of an Ohio Yankee, for the unsophisticated Southerners to cope with. There can be no doubt that the re cently promulgated plan for new elections in the South is the work of James G.

Blaine, who is thus endeavoring to insinuate himself and his policy into the embraces of the administration. But there is reason to suspect that Rutherfraud looks kindly upon this plan. tle is throwing out his feelers in all directions, apparently with the object of clinging where he finds the most certain support. It is by no means improbable that this plan may be adopted with the view of harmonizing the two wings of the Republican party, although it is safe to say in advance thdt it will harmonize nothing in the South. The plan is a too evident trick, a too manifest attempt to re- peat the Eightttto-Seven swindle.

The first proposition is that the work of the infamous canvassing b.oard shall be accepted, that Chamberlain shall be recognized as gover- nor until a new election can be held, 1 and that the bogus legislature shall pass a law for a new election and registration. A board is to be formed for the "'control of tie election," which it is propo-ed to fashion after the manner of the Eight-to-Seven swindle, Chamberlain and Hampton each to select one member, and Gen. Roger the third. A canvassing board is to be created by a similar trick, and the army of the United States is to be used for political pur poses as it was during the last cam- I paign, if not a "little more so." a This plan is most abominable and a entirely inadlmissible. The intro duction of the army into the politics i1 of the state is sufficient to condemn I it at once.

The lawless and usurp ing policy of military interlerence, which President Grant twice a dlared to be unjustifiable and repug i nant to the spirit of our institutions, i and which he repudiated in his ele. venth hour repentance, cannot bef honestly renewed or continued byt by his spurious successor. The en- tire abandonment of that policy, in a the interest of peace and the Consti- tution, is the first necessity of the l)resent time. The plan is again in- 9 atlmissible, because it merely substitutes a Two-to-Oie trick for an Eight-to Seven swindle, erecting Gen. Ruger into the Joe Bradley of the occasion.

It would be Gen. Ru- 1 ger who would control the election, count the vote, canvass the result, and create an aliulld affair in the shape of such a government as he should be ordered to make. We know what he has done heretofore, and it is not to be supposed that he would be less sub-servient to this ad. ministration than to the last, A similar plan is proposed for Louisiana. We cannot doubt that both plans, if they should ever be submitted, will he at once rejected by Hampton and Nicholls and their friends, in spite of the diptomacy of intrigulinog politicians, because they are in no respect based upon justice, but ire thoroughly wrong and rotten from bottom to top.

The latest dispatches say that they are opposed by the Democrats and Conservatives of Louisiana and South Carolina, and it would he a miracle if they were not. It is also said that the defacto president will not encourage them unless they are favored by both parties, but that goes without saying. i We do not wish to think so badly of Rutherfraud as to suppose that he can have originated this swindling scheme; he has done badly enough if he has suffered" it, to be seriously considered. If he has shown any dlisposition to favor it, Democrats should take warning and be careful how they "dicker" with him. The cloven foot of his alleged Southern policy already protrudes, and he may prove to be more dangerous than an open enemy.

The plain truth is that there is but one thing for Rutherfraud to do. If he desires to secure any respect for his stolen title, he must do justice. As president of the United States, he has nothing whatever to 'lo with the governmental contests in Louisiana or South Carolina. As commander in chief of the army, he finds troops posted there for unlaw. ful and usurpatory purposes.

He. knows military influence is forbidden by the Constitution and the laws. Hie knows that the soldiers have no business to be there, and it is his plain duty to withdraw them. If he does this, and does it speedily, he wdll be abundantly supported; if he, fails to do this, there is trouble in. store for him.

This is the onily "Southern policy" that can succeed, because it is the only one founded on law and Louis Times. No Mournoiug for Mr. lTilden. That respectable and respected journal, the Boston Evening Tratscript, fails to apprehend the essence of the situation. It thinks Mr.

Hayes will make a decent adminis. tration, and that the possibility of his doing so blots out all the legal and moral enormities of his official of igin: "Nor is there less of desolation or bewildesmeut among the Democratic chieftains. At this rate where will their grievance be by the next election 4 Neither the people nor they themselves have ever been so infatuated with Mr. Tilden personally that they will persist in mouring for him, if they obtain all and more of the substance of his promised reforms than he could have ever compassed." The grievance cannot be removed by any good conduct on the part of Mr. Hayes.

A thief may make a benevolent use of stolen property, but he is a thief nevertheless. Mr. Tilden was elected President. He and the people have been cheated out of the election. To all honest men this is an intolerable grievance, not only because they believe Mr.

Tilden would really have reformed the Federal Government, but still more because the inauguration of a President through fraud, bribery and the violation of the Constitution is a calamity that threatens to produce the most pernicious consequences hereafter. We do not mourn for Mr. Tilden; he needs nobody to mourn for him. Being cheated out of the election does not hurt him. All the lies and the malignity that have been poured out upon him have not left a spot upon his character.

What he has ldone for the State of New York in the reformation of its government forms his enduriing monument; and the fact that out of the intelligent white citizens of the United States a majiority of one milliont have voted to make him President, is something which ought to silence every liar and slanderer in the land. For him, then no regret is necessary. What we mourn for is the Incomparab'e. the incredible disaster and isgrace which have been brought upon our country in the inauguration of a President who was not Y. Sun.

-THE Cincinnati Gazette sums up tile crimes of the Democratio House in the Forty-Fourth Congress, and this is the record it makes. They tried to reduce the salary to they passed Field's bill providing for a new Presidential election; they trird to reduce the army from 25,000 to 17,000 men; they insisted that the army should not be used in overturning State governments. Democrats are not likely to be dismayed nor the country displeased at this arraignment. On the contrary, the people will most prolably welcome a repetion of crimes. If the other branch of Congress can induced to sin in the same way, everything will Lonis Republican,.
