NATIONAL COUNCIL AT PHILADEL-

SPEECH OF

rise, Mr.. President, to rebuke the
insolence of the member from New York
MIR. Squires) ito repel the unprovoked
and wanton assault he has made upon
my State. l came not here, sir, to as
sail any man by word or act-I shall
permit no man from the North or the
South to assail me by word or act, with
impunity. Every member of this Ma
tional Council will bear witness that L
have uttered no words Of unkindness to-
wards any member during the sittings
of the Convention; and all of you will
notice that the wanton assault Just made
upon me, has not been provoked by
word or acl of mine. Flon gentlemen
of the South, with whom l widely differ
in sentiment and opinion, l have receiv-
ed acts of courtesy and kindness l shall
ever remember with grateful recollec.
tionS, whatever may be the results of
our deliberations. But the member from
New York has not only followed the ex-
ample of his colleague MI Barker) and
assailed my State, but LIE has made a
charge against me that l here and now
before this Convention, and to his face,
pronounce utterly false. He charges
me not only with determination to
break up this National Council, but he
charges me with having declared this
to be nv purpose. l hold him response

defy him to prove the truth of his asser-

l shall write upon his unblushing brow.
Sir, the member from New York as

low them out of her sight, and her whole
time was spent in inslructing and anus
ing them.
Florence Langfcrd had been Il wid )w
just one year. Itwas bright summers
day, and she sat in the same little parlor
where she had first heard of her hus-
bands loss. Willie and Edith were sea-
ted on the floor beside her, blowing soap
bubbles Florence sat watching their
innocent delight as the sun shone on the
pretty globes, and reflected prismatic
colors in them, and then her thoughts
flew back over the last three years.
Sadder and sadder grew the pale face'
until Willie noticed it, and leaving his
play, went softly to her side; Edith knelt
beside him, with her face laid caressing
ly against Florence's hand.
Tell us about papa, whispered Will
lie.
when is papa coming back? p asked
Edith. He stays so long
Hush, Edith said Willie. Papa
can never come back he is dead
But Edith shook her head She had
always maintained that, as papa went
away in a carriage, and said that he
would come back. and bring them pl city
toys from Paris, he could not be dead.
Florence drew Edith on her lap, and,
throwing her arm round Willie, the three
talked about papa for an hour; how much
longer they would have remained in that
position l cannct tell. Jessie interrupt
ed them; her whole face was beaming
with joy.
'Floy!' she whispered, kneeling on the
stool at her Cousins feet, and untying
her cap, take this off for minute
why, Jessie?' asked Florence, suffer
ing her to remove it.
Because it is stiff and unbecoming,
said Jessie, who was loosening Floy's
hair, and twisting ii over her fingers in"
to its curls. You mnst never wear it
again
Dear Jessie, give it back to me. 1
shall always wear it
But L say you shall never put it on
again. Dear Florence, widows cap
is needless now
Jessie, cried Florence, starting up,
and looking eagerly into her cousins
face, while she trembled violently, what
do you mean p
Can you hear the best ofnews, Floy?
said Jessie, softly, George
Jessie in answer threw open the door,
and said, gayly Come in! and, in ano-
ther moment, Florence was in her hus-
bands arms.
All was soon explained. George
Langford had been among the passen-
gers taken to Calcutta and had from
some mistake of the reports, been put
in the list of missing. Cold and expo
sure had brought on an attack of brain
fever. As soon as he was able, he had
started for home. He was there at last,
and happier party never met than the
one that evening at Oak Lodge, Mr..
Lawrence's county-seat.

WATCH, MOTHER

Mother watch the little feet
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Bounding TIN eugh the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall.
Never count the moments lost.
Never mind the time it costs,
Little feet will go astray,
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
- Why to me this weary task ~
These same little hands may prove
Messengers of Light and love.
Mother watch the little tongue
PrattliDg, eloquent and wild,
What is said, and what is sung,
By the happy, joyous child.
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the vow before It's broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in Savior's name.
Mother watch the little heart
Beatin z soft and warm for you
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep that young heart true.
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripening for eternity.

THE LOVED ONES AFAR.
BY FUoRUs B. PLIMPTo,

ea0AAN d. ELAAE lGAs
When night winds are wailing,
Like spirits in thrau,
And Death walks in darkness
Through hamlet and hail;
Kind Angels of Mercy,
Wherever they are,
Watch over the slumbers
OF foved ones afar-
Our hearts dearest treasures,
The loved ones afar-
Whe'er they may wander,
Der land or DER sea,
Thou father of Angels
We trust them with theel
Be thou to earth's pilgrims
The day beam and star,
The staH of the weary
The loved ones afar-
Our hearts dearest treasures,
The loved ones afar.
While life hath a pleasure,
0T hope hath a cheer;
While the heart can feel kindness,
Or sorrow a tear;
I cannot forget them,
Nor fail in the prayer,
That God will watch over
The loved ones afar-
Our hearts dearest treasures,
The loved ones afar.
The winter of lifetime,
May close round in gloom,
And spring flowers may scatter
Their lea.es DER my tomb
Yet, still through the darkness,
Like evenings pale star,
The spirit win hover
Der loved ones afar-
Our hearts dearest treasures,
The loved ones afar.

OOO, 900 worth of property destroyed by fire;
III lives were lost in burning buildings; 1893
railroad accidents occurred, involving the

sons; 4s steamboats, were sunk and burned,
killing 5S5 persons and wounding 225; there
were 90 murders and 81 executions; all this
in the limits Of the States; and when to this
list we would add the loss OF life and prop

Masses Of Asses ian Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati papers state that an ''enor-
nous mass meeting was held at Greenwood
Hall to repudiate the congratulatory recep-
tor voted by the Common Council to JOHN
mitchell, the Irish refugee. 1t was Know
Nothing demonstration; and certainly never
did meeting SO deserve the brand of igno-
ramuSes. Counclmcn who, in their honest
simplicity, voted for the complimentary reso-
luton, appeared and begged pardon of the
bigots and intolerants, as if ashamed, doubt
less, of the only act which they ever did
worthy of a decent memorial. The honors
of the city rendered to the outspoken and
generous Irish exile were tarnished by this
display of illiberal senselessness. While
Mitchell was addressing crowded audience
at the Melodeon on Republcanism in Eu-
rope, these mulcontents were illustrating
tyranny in America.
We are glad to believe that these ridicu-
lous displays OF petty foolery on the part of
the Cincinnati Know Nothiags, will 50 react
as to disgust all liberal souls with the orders
where such spirit is Graded
1t seems that two Of the City Council,
Messrs. EDWARDS and WARDER, in present
ing the congratulations of the city, took oc-
caslon to display their bad breeding and
worse taste. by arraignng Mr.. mitchell for
some of his views. Mr.. mitchell interrupt.
ed Mr.. WARDE7, by saying:
''Sr, there is one thing in your country
which most of all prize, and that Is liberty
and so long as I am in the country | am just
the man to do exactly what l please"

Know Nothingism is to prevail, Mfr. ArTcHEI

their hands the public sentiment and the

Gazette makes the following startling an
nouncement:
The most startling discovery of the age
is that, by which bank note or other wr-
ting or engraving is copied to such perfec-

a phonotographist copied note Of the State
Bank of Ohio, and the spurious bill was pre-

Of the most experienced bank tellers in the
city, and even after being told that il was
not genuine, they contended that it was
good.
