The PRESIDENT IN 19O0.-The boz is
now living who will be President of the
United States in 1900. He is about ten or
twelve years of age. His parents are in
humble circumstances, but of sterling traits
of character, and their son is not one of
those dirty, noisy boys, that spend their
days, evenings and Sabbaths in idleness
and rowdyism. On the contrary, he is of
serious cast, is very studious, and withai,
is well behaved. Teacher, weigh well your
responsibility The future President may
be in that grammar class that you think
scarcely worthy of respectful attention
What boy of all our readers will lay claim
to this distinction Recollect, the future
President is not found among the Sabbath
breakers, the. every day idlers, the evening
rowdies. the blasphemous. the vulgar, or
among those that love. and make Iie He
is not one of those who pride themselves as
being Young America. and despise the au-
thority of father or break away from the
gentle restraint of good mother.

THE PENSION BILL.

a career Of unexsmpledl political corrgp-

the expenditures, and no provision has
been nads nof does any seem likely to be
made very soon to restore the lost equilib.
