The Drunkard's Daughter.

Out on the street with naked feet,
saw the drunkard's little daughter
Her tattered shawl was thin and small,
She little knew, for no one taught her.
Her skin was fair, her auburn hair
Was brown about her pretty forehead
Her sad, white face wore sorrow trace,
And want and woe were not borrowed.
Heart broken child, she seldom smiled,
Hope promised her no bright tomorrow,
Or, If its light flashed on her night,
Tienup came darker clouds Of sorrow
She softly said, I'VE have no bread.
No wood to keep the fire a-burning;"
The child was i'll, the winds so chill,
Herthin cold blood to ice was turning.
But men we'll fed and warmly clad,
And ladies ROBBED in richest fashion,
Passed on the side where no one cried
To them for pity or compassion
That lone night fed and then the light
Of rosy day in beauty shining,
Set dome and spire and roof on fire,
And shOne on one beyond repining.
Asleep-alone-as cold as stone
Where no dear parent ever sought her,
In winding of snow and sleet,
Was found the drunkards Hfeless daughter

Government in the United States
ITS COST AND IT'S PURITY.

ITS COST AND ITS PURITY.
The London correspondent
of the New York World calls
the attention of that journal to
what he terms the astounding
fact that cit costs the people
of the United States sixty
eight millions of dollars more,
annually, to defray the expen-
ditures of their Republican
government, than it costs the
British people to maintain their
Monarchical government" The
fact, it must be admitted, is
somewhat astounding, and the
first and most palpable infer
ence to be drawn from it would
seem to be that Republican
governments are not necessa-
rlly more economical or less
expensive than Monarchical
governments fact, which, in
all past time, so far from adj
uniting, we, the people Of the
United States, have been great
ly prone to dispute. The tax
ridden victims of the lettering
thrones, effete dynasties and
grasping aristocracies of the
Old World, are things upon
which we have been wont to
bestow a large share of our sur
plus sympathy and commisera-
ton. Hitherto we have been
free to admit that that the pros
tration and poverty of the.
working classes, as well in con-
tinental as insular Europe, was
the effect of the pressure Of ex-
acting and extravaganza govern
ments. But it is a point to be
considered whether such an adj
mission at this time would be
strictly in. order; whether it
would not expose the party
making it to the suspicion of
disloyalty to that government
which we have been wont to
describe as "the most perfect
upon which the sun ever
shOne."
The government of Great
Britain, with colonies upon
every continent, with vast pos
sessions in every quarter of the
world with chains of posts
whose morning drurn-beat,
following the sun and keeping
company with the hours, circles
the whole globe with one con-
tlnuOuS strain of the martial
airs OF England" with a splen-
did state establishment, an ar
my and navy adequate to de-
tend and extend her vast pos
sessions, with an aristocracv
and sinecures, costs the people
less, by sixty-eight millions of
dollars per annum, than the
plain, simple Republican polity
OF the United States costs the
people of the United States.
LIZ is true that the difference
Is small, very small, only about
One-ffth of the sum of our an
nual expenditures. Congress
could easily appropriate this
amount in an afternoon, and
the thing, even if. the money
were applied to the Substituting
OF party politicians, would
hardly excite sensation. Still
sixty-eight millions Of dollars
is a sum which, when aided to
the remainder of over three
hundred millions, may. be the
occasion of more distress than
pen can. describe; for, if wei
havesnot learned the lesson al |
ready, it Is before us to learn
that. in their effects upon the
spirit and character of the peo-
pie, there is no despotism like
the despotism of debt; no tyran-
ny like the tyranny of debt. rl
