GROWING OLD.

Touch us, oh Timei with light hand as you pass,
Tempt us to think 1t living caress;
Tread on our hearts, too, with reverent care
Crush not the flowers of life blooming there;
Furrow our foreheads with care if you will,
But let youth linger within our hearts still.
Mid our dark tresses are fbers of gray
Silent reminders of lfes feeting day;
And when we turn to the shadowy past,
On its bright affairs lay ashes and dust;
All its fair idols are marked with decay
All its sweet pictures are faded away.
Sadly we look for the friends of the past
They of strong hearts and the beautiful trust;
Some we find sleeping beneath sculptured stone;
Some toiling YEARLY onward alone;
Some thro' ambition grown heartless and cold,
But one and all, save the dead, growing old.
Oft we grow weary in watching in vain
Ger hopes that always but shadows remain;
Weary of counting the joys that have died;
Weary of laying bright visions aside;
Weary of taking but dross for pure gold;
Weary so weary, of hearts growing old
Chase from us, Time, all shadowy fears;
Lift from our lives the slow burden of years.
Shadow our foreheads and sprinkle our hair,
But oh, shield our hearts from the burrows o
care.
Let not the heart grow selfish or cold,
And we shall no longer fear to grow old.

protection for the west against the COMPETE

by establishing row of custom houses along

A better way would be to build a high wall
all around the west, and allow nothing to
come over it, This would force the west to
do its own manufacturing.
A better way still than any of these would
be to abolish all manufacturing by corpora
tions, and oblige each family to manufacture
for itself If it be reasonable for each com.
munity to establish manufacturing so as to
save the transportation of raw materials and
manufactured articles, it would be greater

Newspaper Publishers in Trouble.

The newspapers throughout the country
are complaining of the excessively hlgh rates
charged for printing paper. What before the
war could be bought for nine to ten cents per
pound, and was thought dear at that price,
now commands nearly three times tnas sm-
cunt, During the war this might Dc porne
as necessary evil, consequent upon the ap-
probation of sold, and the scarcity OF sulta-
bic material for paper stock put Win the
Cessation of hostilities and the decline in
gold. it is difficult to understand the reason
for the continued high price OF paper. In
stead of diminishing, it appears to increase.
An article of such universal use ought to be
produced at the lowest possible cost The
paper makers, it would seem, desire to con-
troll the price of this indispensable material.
and being comparatively few IN number, the
charge of combination appears to have some
foundation. Meanwhile the journals are IN
creasing the price of subscription.-C chicago
Tribune,
And vet congress persists In maintaining
the prohibitory tariff by which the paper
makers are enriched at the cost of paper pub
fishers and paper readers throughout the
Union The simple fact is that the small
publishers are being ruined and their papers
crowded out of circulation by the ''protec'
ton" afforded to paper makers. The pub
fishers of the New York and metropolitan
papers can make their advertisers pay tht
continual advance in the price of printing
paper, while publishers of country papers
have no resource but to increase the rate o
subscription. The result is that all ou1
smaller newspapers are in danger of being
swallowed up ~ their large city rivals. How
long will congress sanction this evil!
