BACKBONE.

When you see fellow mortal
Without fixed and fearless yiuws,
Hanging 0ntbe skirts of others,
Walking in their cast-oH shoes,
Bowing low to wealth or favor,
With abject, uncovered head,
Ready to retraet or wdver,
Willing to be drove or led;
Walk yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw yonr moral shoulders back,
Show gow spine has nerve and narrow
just the things which his must lack.
stronger word
Was never heard
In sense aud tone,
Than this, backbone.
When you see iheologian
HuEging close some ugly creed,
Fearing to reject or question
Dogmas which his priest may read,
Holding back all noble feeling,
Choking down each manly view,
Caring more for forms aud symbols
Than to know the Good and True;
Walk yourself with iirmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and marrow
Just the things which his must lack.
stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone.
When you see politician
Crawling through contracted holes,
begging for some fat position,
In the ring, or at the polls.
With no sterling manhood in bim,
Nothing staple, broad or sound,
Destitute OF pluck or ballast,
Double-sided all around;
Walk yourself with frmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and marrow
just the things which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone.

Radical Economy.

The people have not the smallest idea
of the deceptive and hollow character of
the professions Of economy made by the
Radical party in power at Washington.
They are constantly paradiDg before the
country the great reduction ofthe public

itous revenue tax law, u law that every re-
spectacle journal, whether Republican
or otherwise, has shown over and over
again to be not only unpopular and op
pressive, but also unconstitutional and
wrong. They seem to delight in making
the industry oil the country pay as dearly
as possible for the wretched government
they give 10 return,- aud will continue
to do SO uutil the people shall rise in
their majesty and hurl the spendthrift
idlers from power entirely.
To show where some OF this money
the hard earned treasure Of the people
goes to, and the purposes to which it
is applied, the Ohio .Stdtesnian has been
making an examination of the why aud
wherefore Of the "niiseellaneous fund"

penses of Congress during the Forty,

On yesterday evening goody company OF some

with rapt attention that the audience listened
