THE DRUNKARD's DAUGHTER.

Out on the street, with naked feet,
saw the drunkard's little daughter,
Her tattered shawl was thin and smaH;
She little knew, for no one taught her'
Her skin was fair. her auburn halr
Was blown about her pretty foreheao'
Her sad, white face wore SORROWS trace,
And want and woe that were not oorfo"o"
Heart-broken child, she seldom smiled,
Hope promised her no bright to-norro",
Or, if it's light flashed on her nlsnt
Then up came darker CLOUDS u 'oiA'"'
She softly said, eve have no bread
No wood to keep the fire burning;
The child was i'll, the winds so chill.
Her thin, cold blood to ice was turning.
But men well fed and warmly clad,
And ladies robed in richest fashion,
Passed on the side where no one cried
To them for pity or compassion.
That lone night fled, 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 sheet of snow and sleet
r. Was found the drunkard's lfeless daughter

THE spo1Ls OF THE SENATE.

Gle from the New 1Ofk IOUItO IUOco
Mr. Fenton's election to the United
States Senate brings to an end one OF
the most disgraceful and ominous chap,
tiers in our political history. While it
NAV not be, to the public, precisely
known which of the three candidates
has bribed worst and hardest, and while
the choice made may only show which
has bribed most judiciously, no shred
or vestige of doubt exists in the public
mind that the senatorial contest has
been signalized by a degree OF unscru'
pulousness which, even in this commu-
nifty, may we'll excite shame and appre'
hension. This is no alarmist's, no "sen-
sation" view of the case. The most
respectable of the Republican papers
have deliberately : although we are
sure with regret-admitted that money
was to decide the nomination. Mem
bers of the Legislature have made no
secret of the general understanding to
this effect. Operators of the lobby
have gone so far as to name figures and
men. Partisans of the respective can
didates have proclaimed the vile deeds
of their opponents from the housetops.
Take all these things with as many
grains Of salt as we may, and we can
not be rid of a sickening flavor of cor
ruption. The post commended for was
that of Senator from the imperial State
of New York-with the exception OF
the Chief Magistracy Of the Union,
perhaps, the proudest elective station,
as it is the longest III tenure, to which
an American citizen may attain. There
were three aspirants. The two who
failed are charged with acts that, II
committed, should, to say the least III
volve the forfeiture of their social po-
sition. The one who has succeeded
stands accused by prominent and re-
putablc iournalist-and makes no at
tempt at retutation of conduct that
NAV be assumed to constitute better
qualification for entrance to the Penn
Tertiary than to the Senate of the nit
ed States. We neither endorse nor

es, some of which have root IN the very
nature of our institutions. 1t is pretty
certain that, as matters stand, there IS
no swift or heroic remedy. Bribery
laws, like sumptuary laws, are nke!y
to do no more good here than they dIo
to save the Republic Of old Rome. 10
blame either political party as Justine,
lively corrupt, and so to look tor rellel
from it's destruction, is simple nonsense
The "Ring" of New York City, when
returns to the ancient meaning OF no
|ertv-domini4na-and to which IL wish
to be freeD means II wish to govern the
city, may be bad enough, and is usu'
all y stigmatized as the type OF BADNESS
bv political foes; but if it is worse than
the Senatorial Rings of the latter, as
they are lately bruited to be, 1t mas
hardly so appeared. The underlying
curse and canker is Of neither party
exclusively, but is common to both: II
consists in our system of recognizing
10 classifications or titles to honor
among men save those that money can
buv Under the specious pretence OF
universal equality we have abolished
practically speaking, all distinctions
founded on virtue, intellect, achievement
or ancestry, and concentrated tactl-
tious Importance on gold alone. A man
with wealth and nothing else IS every
thing. A man with everything else
and no wealth is nothing. The com
mercial habits of the people-growmG
partly out of local causes, partly out
of national exigencies-havc tostercd
money-worship to an abnormal and
monstrous growth, until it threatens to
Iovcrshadow or supcrscde all other de
sircs or objects of ambition. 1t IS nc
eXaggeratiOn to say that, as we are go
inc On now, the community will forgive
more and more to him who has wealth
and will forgive less and less To hin
who has it not. What wonder, then
that Scnators-or those who would l.,
such-hoat OH with the tide or inhalt
the poison Of the universal social at
mosphcrc.
Perhaps it is an instructive pcrccp
ton Of the inevitable that leads So many
among us To- pass these evils umhccdcc
by, or 10 dismiss them with So light 4
crnsurc Yet surely it is premature L
abandon in the name Of fate or prcdcs

Lrrr 'rM DowN EAslER.-A pious old
negro, saying grace at the table, not
only used 10 ask a blessing upon his
board but he would also petition to
have some deficient dish supplied.
One day it was known that Cato was
out of potatoes, and suspccting that he
would pray for some at dinner, a wag
provided himself with a small measure
of the vegetables, stole under the Win
dow, next which stood the table of our
colorcd christian. Soon Cato drew up
a chair and commenced:
O. massa Lord, will dow in dy prov

The Protestant Church in Madrid

may be interesting to recall, was con.

pardoned on condition of his leaving

ever since, until the revolution, when
he returned to bless the country that

AcRoss THE CONTINENT IN YE OLDEN TIME.-De
Vaca in 1928, started across the continent, and
spent eight years, enduring incredible hardshps,
in reaching the Pacific. Jonathan Carver at
tempted the passage farther North in 1853, but
failed He then went to London, and vainly en-
deayored to get aid for a new expedition, which
was to make route across the continent. He
predicted it would be done, and said % Whenever
it is. and the execution of it is carried on with
propriety, rlose who fortunate to sue
ceed will reap, exclusive of the national advan-
tages that must ensue, emoluments beyond their
most sanguine expectations. He hoped those
who did the work would :. bestow commentator
and blessings on the persons who first pointed
out to them the way" Ninety years passed
and one of Carver's decendants. a doctor from
Western New York. we'll remembered by those
who were familiar with Washington twenty years
ago, pamphleteered and lobbed, and beat the
bush vainly in hope of exciting some sort OF
interest in a Pacific railroad. But it was like
one CRYING in the wilderness. There was none
so poor as to do reverence to his plan, and none
to heed or care. The wild dream OF an enthusi-
asst and " bore of lsi7 is the realization of 1869.
