Ho. tor Protection.



To look over the Republican papers, one
might suppose that the interests of the
country are about TO perish completely
We must have protection, heavy protection
British goods must be excluded or we are
ruined Well, where does this cry come
from: ...
Farmers, what are you making now 2
counting all, do you clear six per cent
above the cost OF your farm, revenue taxes
and other expenses
Mechanics, what are you making do you
realize SIX or ten per cent. upon your in
vestments and labor?
Can you stand II at present rates. with
out fainting by the way?
Then you are well off We Judge you
are, for we have not heard you ask for pro-
lection.
Well, the manufactIrers-those of New
England particularly-are about used up.
They have been declaring dividends for
the past three or four years, onN to the
amount of from % TO 40 per cent and thev
can't live at that Think of this, farmers
ahd working men; you who are cleaning
at most TO 10 per cent.
Then. again. look at what the nigrers
are getting! Twelve to fifteen millions of
your money to buy pewter spoons and shin
bone soup for them. and roast beef and
plum pudding for the Bureau
Now, If you eau stand that, certainly You
can bear little more, TO put the Yankee
millionaire manufacture ON level with
the protection awarded to the Niger, so
don't grumble, don't object; you are gem
erous people and can bear another straw
or two to help these poor creatures who
are not able to help themselves. You give
freely 70 iunatic asy4ums, why not TO Yam
kee millionaires who don't know what a
pewter spoon looks like.

Light Breaking !

The result Of municipal Election yes
terday, will be hailed with JOY throughout
the country, as indicating the tendency OF
public sentiment in support Of the present
reconstruction policy of the President Of
the United States.
The city Of DAYTON has acquired no lit
tie distinction from variety of causes
within the last tour years. The election OF
decided supporter of the President,
against the most determined and well or
ganiGcd opposition on tine part of the radi-
Gals, is a result which may we'll inspire good
men everywhere with confidence aud
hope. The question was distinctly made
upon Mr.. KENNEY-and his elctlon Is the
glorious and encouraging result.
II is to be regretted that the other candi-
dates upon the Ticket with Mr.. KENNEY
were equally successful--for better cleo
tton was never before presented for the
suffrages Of our people. But they must
pick the flint and try 1t again. There's a
good time coming. ..
That passion for Union, which caused the
formidable power Of the rebellion TO sue
cumb, will quickly brush away this miser-
able radicalism, that now arrogates to itself
and the negroes with whom 1t is ambitious
to equalize ITSELF all the honor of the re-
cent contest. The currant has set in. 1t
will overwhelm everything and eve9 9body

His election will be decisive triumph
over the demagoguery of the Vallandig-

of the evils of slavery. This fact should
be borne in mind by every voter In the

The numerous public schools of Washington

vate secretary of Senator Sumner, who attended
one of these institutions for teaching the contra
band idea how to shoot, and was invited to pro-
pound some questions. Children" said he,
in grave tone, 'what Senator can you name?"

Trust God for Small Things.

We are too much like children who cry and
make great ado about sweetmeats and toys,
while they can trust for clothing, general care,
and house in which to live How many of
what may be called the small things of this life
and Of religion we are anxious about, while the
great concerns we leave with God Now, why
cannot we commit ourselvesint his hands for the
small as well as the great? Let us not forget
that he rules the atom as well as the world,
that he feels the humming- bird as well as the
eagle, that he provides the crust as well as the
feast, that he numbers the hairs of your head
as well as the stars Of the armament Shall he
uphold all things, and not uphold you? Shall
he clothe lilies and feed ravens, and not clothe
and feed you. 0 ye of little faith? As a
Christian, God has made over to you crown
that fadeth not away and can you not trust
him for a crumb which perishes? Has he
clothed you with the garment of salvation and
will you not trust him for the clothing of the
body? Has he provided house for you in the
heavens, which hath foundations, whose Build
er and Maker is God and will you not trust
him for tabernacle, or cottage in the will
derness? Has he given you himself, his Spirit,
his Word, his grace, his promises; and can you
not trust him to give you bread, friends, cloth
es habitation, and all the necessaries of this
life? Surely if he has given you the greater,
he will give you the less. This is the very ar
gument of St. Paul: 'He that spared not his
own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how
shall he not with him also freely give us all
things?'

The Wife.

Only let woman be sure that she is precious
to her husband-not useful, not valuable, not
convenient, simply, but lovely and beloved let
her be the recipient of his polite hearty atten-
tions let her feel that her care and love are
noticed, appreciated and returned; let her opin-
ion be asked, her approval sought, and her
Judgment respected in manners of which she is
cognizant: in short, let her only be loved, hon
ored and cherished in fulflment of the marriage
VOW, and she will be to her husband, her chill
dren and society, well-spring of pleasure
She will bear pain, and toll, and anxiety, for
her husbands love is, to- her, tower and for
tress Shielded and sheltered therein, adver-
sity will have lost it's sting She may suffer,
but sympathy will dull the edge of sorrow. A
house with love in it-and by love mean love
expressed in words, and looks, and deeds, for l
have not one spark of faith in love that never
crops OUTS to house without love, as per-
son to machine; one is life, the other is
mechanism. The unloved woman may have
bread just as light, house just as tidy, as the
other; but the latter has spring of beauty
about her, jOyOusness, and aggressive and
penetrating and pervading brightness to which
the former is stranger. The deep happiness
in her heart shines out in her face. She is
ray of sunlight in the house. She CLEANS over
it. 1t is airy, and gay, and graceful, and warm,
and welcoming with her presence she is full of
devices and plots, and sweet surprises for hus-
band and family. She has never done with the
romance of life. She herself is a lyric poem
setting herself to all pure and gracious melodies.
Humble household ways and duties have for
her golden significance. The prize makes the
calling high and the end sanctifes the means.

Ever of Thee.

a sad story is connected with the name of the
writer Of the beautiful song Ever of Thee, -
which has been sung and admired by so many
in this country and in Europe.
Foley Hall was gentleman by birth and ed
ucation. Wealthy in his own right with large
expectations, he led needless life, not choos-
ing his associates, but allowing himself to be
drawn into the society of the vicious. His
property soon disappeared, and he was left
without resources to buy his daily bread. His
musical talents had been highly cultivated, but
as he never needed them he scarcely knew
to what degree they could be made available
In his distress, however, he wrote this charm
ing song, Ever Of Thee A London pub
Usher gave him one hundred dollars for it, but
that amount with such spendthrift would not
last long. He wrote other songs, but the mon
ey not coming as fast as he wished, in weak
moment he forged the name of his publisher,
and although every effort was made (even by
the publisherl to save him, it was all no use
and poor Foley Hall went to Newgate, and died
broken hearted before his trial came on.
