REGRET
Ho offered a kiss in tbe morning—
I coldly turned away;
For an idle word tbat I overbeard .
Hud rankled a night and a day.
I knew, in truth, it was nothing
That he would hare blinked to own,
Tbat point and sting of the trifling thing
Grew out of my heart alone.
Itut a vexed, unquiet spirit
weighs ii" m:iller aright,
And the sore smart of a jealous heart
Pol reason out of sight
I lei him go in the morning
Withonl Ihe kiss lie sought;
And the day was long, but I nursed my
• long
With many a bitter thought.
Hi,, bitter thought, Ood help ine !
Did not enter uiy brain :
That ki.is of mine, by word or sign,
Hi' wi.util never seek again,
Hut as evening shallow, gathered,
My heart began in bum
With a quickened sense of hi. influence,
And I longed for his return.
Leaning against the window
That overlooked the street,
I strained my ear his step to hear
In the crowd of hurrying leet
Far on", in the dimmest distance,
1 Bhenld lave known it well;
Hut I here came instead a muttied tread,
And the sharp alarm of the bell.
Bomegriefa, Though deep and bitter.
Kind at last their euros,
Bat some retain the old, old pain
As long as life endures.
I did nor know in the morning
When I coldly turned away,
That I should miss and mourn that ki.s
Don n to my dying day.

of numerous counselors,
after long and labored deliberation,

BON. EDWARD MOPHBRBOH, HON.

JOSEPH II. RAINBT and others,
Committee of the National Re-publican
Convention:—
liKXTLKMES—In reply to your
official communication of June 17,
by which I am informed of my
nomination tor tbe office ot Presi-dent
of the United States by the
Republican National Convention at
Cincinnati, 1 accept the nomination
with gratitude, hoping that under
Providence 1 shall be able, if elect-ed,
to execute the duties of the
high office us a trust for the benefit
of the people.
I do not deem it necessary to
enter upon any extended examuia
l ion of the declaration of principles
made by the ('on vent ion. The reso-lutions
areiu accord with my views,
and I heartily cencur in the prin-ciples
they announce. Iu several
of the. resolutions, however, ques-tions
are considered which are of
such importance that I deem it
pioper to briefly express my con-victions
in regard to them.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
The lifih resolution adopted by
the Convention is of paramount in-terest.
More than forty years ago
a system of making appointment to
ollice grew up, based upon tbe
maxim, '• To the victors belong the
spoils." The old rulo, tbe true rule,
that honesty, capacity and fidelity
constitute the only real qualifica-tions
for office, and that there is no
other claim, gave place to the idea
that party services were to be
chiefly considered. All parties, in
practice, have adopted this system.
It has been essentially modified
since its tirst introduction; it has
not, however, been improved. At
lirst the President, either directly
or through the beads of depart-ments,
made all the appointments.
But gradually the appointing pow-er,
iu many cases, passed into the
coutro' c members of Congress.—
9 in these cases have be-meicly

A SINGLE TERM.
The declaration of principles by
the Ciucinuati Convention makes
DO announcement in favor of a
' single Presidential term. I do not
i assume to add to tbat declaration;
1 but believing that the restoration
of tbe civil service to the system
established by Washington and fol-lowed
by the early Presidents can
in- best accomplished by an Execu-tive
who is under uo temptation to
use the patrouage of his office to
promote his own re-election, I
desire to perform what I regard as
a duty iu stating now my inflexible
purpose, if elected, not to be a
candidate for election to a second
term.
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
On the currency question I have
frequently expressed my views in
public, and I stand by my record
on this subject. I regard all the
laws of the United States relatiog
to tbe payment of the public in-debtedness,
tbe legal tender uotes
included, as constituting a pledge
and moral obligation of tbe govern-ment,
which must in good faith be
kept. It is my conviction that the
feeling of uncertainty inseparable
from an irredeemable paper curren-cy,
with its fluctuations of value, is
one of the great obstacles to a re

the only immediate ones produced.
Afterwards, aud at equal intervals,
other spontaneous explosions are
produced, at considerable distances
from the mine hole, of which the
cause is unknown, aud which cause
numerous accidents to the workmen.
The phenomenon is new, aud it ap-pears
to indicate iu the very sub-
Stance of tbe granite a species of
tension inherent in its formation,'
and which, agitated at one point,!
is transmitted to a distance so as
suddenly to disengage large frag-ments
of material. It may be com-pared
with the experiment daily
made by quarrymen who work the
erratic blocks iu the valleys of tbe
Alps to obtaiu building materials.
In order to obtaiu them they use
wedges of wood which they drive
into holes pierced for the purpose,
vival of confidence and business and which, beiug wetted, canse by
and to a return of prosperity.— ' their expansion this disjunction of
Tbat uncertainty can be ended in I tbe grauite masses. This disjuue-but
one way—the resumption ofltion is not produced by gradual
specie payments; but the longer the fissures as iu the case of millstones,
instability of onr money system is for example. It is always accump
permitted to continue the greater

our economical interests and all
classes of society If elected, I
shall approve every appropriate
measure to accomplish the desired
end, and shall oppose any step back-ward.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

caunot again be exactly fitted

of the rock itself, aud which, a point
hitherto quite mysterious, may

THE EIGHT OF CITIZENS.
Tbe resolution of tbe Convention
on the subject of tbe permanent
pacification of the country aud tbe
complete protection of all its citi-zens
in tbe free enjoyment of all of
their coustitutioual rights is timely
and of great importance.
THE SOUTH.
The condition of the Southern
States attracts the attention and
hat from a farmer boy named Eli
phalet Jones living bard by, and
wore it home. Many aristocratic,
wealthy men would have gone home
bareheaded before they would have
worn the commou hat of a rude far-mer
boy. Iu the neighborhood
where this incident occurred the
people are unanimous for Hayes. -

the supremacy

constitutional rights of any portion

A division of political
parties resting merely upon sec-tional

aud may be disastrous. The wel-
Mipei vi.siou anil strict accountabili-ty
by which alone faithful aud ef-ficient
public service can be secured;
it obstructs the prompt removal and
sure punishment of the unworthy ;
in every way it degrades the civil
service and the character of tbe
government. It is felt, I am con-fident,
by a large majority of tbe
members of Congress, to be an in-tolerable
burden and an unwarrant-able
hindrance to the proper dis-charge
of their legitimate duties.—
It ought to lie abolished. The re-form
should be thorough, radical
and complete. We should return
to the principles and practice of tbe
founders of tbe government—sup-plying
by legislation, when needed,
that which was formerly the estab-lished
enstom. They neither ex-pected
nor desired from tbe public
officers any partisan service. They
meant that public officers should
give their whole service to the gov-ernment
and to the people. Tbey
meant tbat the officer should be se-cure
in his tenure as long as his
personal character remaiued nu-tai
nis'iicd and the performance of
his duties satisfactory. If elected,
I shall conduct the administration
of tho government upon these prin-ciples
and all constitutional powers
in the Executive will be employed
to establish this reform.

men who would have gone home

to capital, but laborers will not go
aud capital will not bo ventured
where tbe constitution aud tbe laws
are set at defiance, aud dis traction,
apprehension and alarm take the
place of peace-loving and law-abid-ing
social life. All parts of the
coustitntion are sacred and must
be sacredly observed—the parts
tbat are new no less than the parts
that are old. Tbe moral and na-tional
prosperity of the Southern
States can be more effectually ad-vanced
by a hearty and generous
recognition of the rights of all by
all—a recognition without reserve
or exception. With such a recog-nition
fully accorded it will be prac-ticable
to promote, by the influence
of all legitimate agencies of the
geueral government, the efforts of
the people of those States to obtain
for themselves the blessings oi
honest and capable local govern-ment.
It elected, 1 shall consider
it Dot only my duty, but it will bo
mj ardeut desire to labor for tbe
attainment of this end.
Let me assure my countrymen of
the Southern 3tates that if 1 shall
be charged with the duty of or-ganizing
an administration, it will
be one which will regard aud
cherish tbeir truest interests—the
interests ot tbe white and of the
colored people both, and equally ;
and which will put forth its best
efforts in behalf of a civil policy
which will wipe out forever the dis-tinctiou
between North and South
iu our common country.
With a civil service organized
u|K>n a system which will secure
purity, experience, efficiency and
economy, a strict regard for the
public welfare solely in appoint-ments,
and tbe speedy, thorough
and unsparing prosecution and
punishnieut of all pnblic officers
who betray official trusts; with a
sound currency; with education
unsectarian and free to all; with
simplicity and frugality, in public
and private affairs, and with a
fraternal spirit of harmony pervad-ing
the people of all sections and
classes, we may reasonably hope
tbat the second century of our ex-istence
as a nation will, by the
blessing oi God, be pre-eminent as
an eia of good feeling aud a period of
progress, prosperity and happiness.
Very resp'fy, your fellow-citizen.
R. B. HAYES.
dou't believe there are any such
people anywhere to be found. The
majority of American voters will
oast their ballots for T'ldeu, be-cause
they know he means business
in the matter of reform, aud is a
squre and.houoiable man : and they
will not vote lor Hayes, because
they have no confidence tbat be can
or will accomplish the required re-formation.
His having worn a far-mer
boy's bat will not help him, for
no one but a silly upstart would
have done otherwise under the cir-ciimstaiices.
The one to praise in
this affair is youug Eliphalet Jones,
who showed au obliging spirit in
lending the hat to Mr. Hayes.—A".

The Culture of Ginseng.
The Chinese have loug ascribed
extraordinary virtues to tho root
of ginseng, it being considered al-most
a sovereign remedy for various
diseases. It is found growing wild
in tbe mountains of Chinese Tartary
from whence tbe Chinese formerly
obtained their ginseng, but the con
slant drain upon those regions has
exhausted the supply, and for many
years America has been the only
country from which this could be
procured, but the wild plan's are
becoming scarce while the demand
does not abate. Here is a chance
for our horticulturists to introduce
a new source of revenue by culti-vating
this plant extensively. It
lias been grown in botanic gardens
for the past century or more, hence
ther6 can be no question about its
succeeding under cultivation.—

The Chinamen in California, iu
the expectation of being utiven
from the country, are sending home
the remains of their dead. In cases
where only the bones are left, scru-pulous
care is takeu to miss uone,
as they believe that to leave oue
behind would imperil the soul of
the dead person. A paper is spread
by tbe grave, and upon it the skel-eton
is laid, piece by piece, until it
