It w u a beautiful day—a delightful day, and ths son went down on a Republican rictory. The Coalitionists fought nobly, lar m o n so than their canu deserred, but the Republicans wen on deck and laid out the "Anything-to-beat" party with mat ness and dUpatcb. Tbat ' i what they went there for. The formidable combination ol Nationals and Democrats w u brayely met

and oyeroome and onr rooster Is then I Lis t spring, with no Dsmocratio ticket In the field to aalst than , the Nationals elected their ticket by majorities ranging from 200 to 249. This spring, with the Democratic party to aid them, they lose ererythlng ex oepl clerk, highway comminioner and one oonslable. Then is a hopefni sign in this. I t shows that the fiat irredeemable ncnaenis is rapidly ooaing away and that erery effort to take one step ahead by that party will re-sult in lis taking sereral strides backward, The people no longer eee through a glass dsrkly. Bnt without digressing further we preaent the frails of Monday's work in this township.

Sof t fall tbe light at eventide, A murmuring voice hy the river'a aide Bung *weetly low, flowcra aide by aide Hhut their eye* and face* hide. Boft fall the light at cvenUde. And thro' the foreat and woodUnd* wide, That voice ao aoft, and aweet. and low,— Told the advent of night to all below. Hott fell (he night at evenUde. Tbe world la fair, and bright, and wide To weary aouU who on the billow* ride Aak (treugth ot Ulm unti l eventide, Fatawell* are aaid at eventide, Vowa breathed *ott at eventide, MoU Up* in prayer at eventide. Beautiful, beautiful eventide. Tha babe I* k i u c d at eventide. How calm the Uabbath at eventldel All, hope, Ute, and death at eventide. Beautiful beaut i ful eventide.
