PhYsicnl Iapifal for Children.

Every hour that child sleeps is Just SO
much investment of physical capital for
years TO come Every hour after darl;
that n child is awake is So much capital
Withdrawn. Every hour that a child
lives quiet, tranquil, joyous life OF such
sort rs kittens live on hearths, squirrels in
sunshine, is Just so much investment in
strength and steadiness and growth of
the nervous system. Every hour that a
child lives lie of excited brain-wOrlS-
ing, either in n school-rOOm or in ball
room. is just so much taken away from
the reserved force which enables nerves
to triumph through the SORROWS. through
the diseases Of latter life. Every mouth.
full of wholesome food that n child eats at
reasonable hours, may be said to toll on
every moment of his whole life, no mat
ter how long il may be. Victor Hugo,
tho benevolent exile. has found out that
to be well fed once in seven days for one
meal has been enough to transform the
apparent health Of nil the poor children
in Guernsey. Who shall say that to take

This is the crying evil Of the times,

OF people inclined To shun the quiet ways

Of those twin sisters "dul trade" and

Our cities and large towns to-day are
filled with vast numbers of people who
barely exc out an existence, and that y

at no time OF the year do they really

The Bottle of OH.

Once upon time there lived an old
gentleman in a large house. He had
servants aud everything he wanted yet he
was not happy, and when things did not
90 as he wished he was cross. At last
his servants left him. Quite out of tenn
per, he went to neighbor with the
story Of his distresses.
1" 1t seems to me-" said the neighbor,
it would be well for you to oil yourself a
little"
ITO oil myself"
Yes, and | will explain. Some time
ago one of the doors in my house creakee
Nobody therefore liked to go in or out of
it. One day l oiled its hinges, and it has
been constantly used by everybody since"
Then you think l am like your creak-
ing door ?' cried the old gentleman. "How
do you want me to oil myself'f'
"That's an easy matter" said the neigh.
Dor. "Go home and engage a servant, and
when he does right praise him. If. on the
contrary, ne does somthing amiss, do not
be cross: oil your voice and words with
the oil of love-"
The old gentleman went home, and no
harsh or ugly word was found in his house
afterward. Every family should have a
bottle of this precious oil,for every family
is liable to creaking hinge in the shape
of fretful disposition, cross temper,
harshItone or fault.finding spirit.

just so, after the adoption of the
Constitution and under Wash1ngton's
administration, Jefferson and Hamil-
ton, both admitting the binding force
of the articles of Union, differed fierce
ly as to the true Interpretation to be
given to them. General McCook, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Ohio, tersely emphasized the situation
when he said the fourteenth amend
ment, though " full of clap-trap," is,
for what il is worth, part of the fun
damental law. All three of the last
amendments are now to be discussed
and construed, as was the Constitution
in Washington's day. 1t is clear to
see what Interpretation Grant Repub-
licans will give, whenever and wher-

in the executive department., or in the
Supreme Court. From the Ku-Klux

HYPocRITIcAL.- The Radicals, in
their platform adopted at Columbus,
express the hope that /" the enmities
and resentments of the war may soon
be ended" This is of piece with the
hypocritical cant of Grant when nom-
mated for President, g Let us have
peace,n which became the stock in
trade of. the Jacobins throughout the
contest of 1868. They have a strange
way of manifesting their desire for
peace. Six years after the end of the
war they are doing all in their power
to stir up strife, hatred and bitterness
against the South. Instead of univer-
sal amnesty, which alone can bring
peace, they are circulating the most
infamous ISLANDERS against the South
ern people, and doing all in their
power to keep alive the evil passions
engendered by the war. They invest
the President with power to go into
the South, subvert the civil authori-
ties, suspend the writ of ha6eas cor
pus and declare martial law at his
own imperial will and pleasure. They
talk about desiring peaceI The fact
is their entire hope of success is based
upon their ability to promote lawless-
ness and crime in that section.

The claim made by the promoters Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, as to
the excellent character of the country
traversed by that thoroughfare, seems
to be verified by the fact that settlers
are moving to the line of the road in
Minnesota and Eastern Dacota in un-
precedented numbers. A late number
of the st. Paul Pioneer say: -
The roads leading to the Red Riv-
er Valley are literally covered with
emigrant wagons, with their usual ac-
compartments of families, furniture
and stock of all kinds. The wagon
roads from Sauk Center to st. Peter
show daily accessions to the vast car
avan vending its way to the fertile
regions of Northern Minnesota. The
extent of the great incoming tide can
be best estimated on the main road be-
tween Alexandria and Pomme de
Terre. Two hundred wagons per day
pass over this portion of the route
northwest, and the camp-fires are sell
dom allowed to go out-a fresh train
of emigrants arrives almost as soon as
its predecessor has resumed its march.
A noticeable feature of this years em-
igration is its quality-the wagons
come loaded with household goods
and farming implements, and are fol-
lowed by herds of stock which in
quality would do credit to any coun-
try" l.

Sham Republicanism.

The whole financial legislation of
Congress has been to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer-to relieve
the rich of taxation and put it upon
labor. Why not tax the bondholders
Neither in the law authorizing the is
sue of bonds, nor in the wording of
the bonds was any expression that
they were to be exempt from Federal
taxation.
Why not tax them, therefore, by
Federal authority? Congressman
Beck in a recent speech to the people
tells the reason. He says: " intro
duced such a resolution into Congress,
but it was voted down by strict par
ty vote, and the vote was due to the
fact that there soere seventg-siG mem
bers Of Congress at that time ao1tO acre
boasdhol1ess." That is the party that
processes to legistate for the people.
1t legislates for the benefit of classes,
monopolists and capital at the expense
of labor, and has the impudence to
call itself Republican, 1t is Republi-
can, but it is sham Republican, down
in the bottom of whose heart is con-
tempt of popular government.-Cta.
