One of the oldest questions ever sub
mitted to lawyers is now pulling those
of Hartford. Conn 1t seems that a
man who recently died there left a
widow, childless, but expecting shortly
to become mothef:- By his will he
provided that if the expected child
should prove to be aboy, two-thirds of
the property should go to him, aud one
third TO the widowed mother. If, how
ever, the child proved to be girl, one
third of the estate was to go TO her, and
two-thirds to the mother. The result,
of course, was awaited with an interest
even greater than that usually bestowed
upon such events. The result is-the
widow has become the mother of twins

ballot, TO prevent ballot stuffing by unwor-
thy men, to guarantee to each and every
workingman his absolute sovereignty; and
to secure to him his equal influence, which
is endangered by the corrupting power OF
wealth, welded by monopolies and consoli-
dated capital. But in every stage, in every
turn, no matter what beneficieht provisions
were proposed, the Republican party has
encountered the yirulent and deadly hostili
ty of the Democratic leaders and press.
And even to day, in the recent address which
was published by them, signed by fourteen
United States Senators, and ninety-three
Democratic Representatives., we DEFY any
one single generous sentiment, the proposal
OF single specific measure Of reform. a
line expressing intention to benefit, either
the working man, or the country at large, or
as tending to augment the glory and honor
of the Nation, either at home or abroad. 1t
Is the same system OF fault finding, of pull
ling down, OF belittieing, Of every true con
scientious and phiianthropic man that has
endeavored TO promote the progress OF our
country. Whenever our Government has
endeayored to protect the weak and roor in
their rights, the Democrats party has ex-
hausted the vocabulary OF oprobrious terms,
in denunciation of the Republican party.
Surely the workingmen of the United States
are too intelligent to be misled by this fierce
denunciation of measures, which experience
and time have proved of benefit alike to
the nation at large, and particu arly 10 the
poor men of integrity, and il crested in an
honest government.
At the demand of the wot kingmen, and
as a national example, the Republican party
enacted that, on all public works, eight
hours shall constitute days work. Thi.
is another evidence that this party has been
anxious to secure the influence and cooper
alton of the arIizan.
From the few facts cited above it is evil
dent that the Democratic party is opposed
to lessen the burdens Of the past. and that
the Republican party is the true friend OF
the working classes throughout the country.
We submit these facts to the careful consid
Grafton of the workingmen everywhere feel
ing confident that their better judgment will
approve of all we have said on the subject.

warm blankets but for time it was i'm
possible to restore her to consciousness. 1t
was not until the faithful Silverhair came
and licked her white cheeks. and whined
piteously beside her, that she at last opened
her eyes but they closed again almost i'm
mediately.
Arthur was in real distress-so great that
his father did not speak of his selfish covet
ing of the poor blind girls favorite; and
when Rosa was able to go home, it was his
own wish that Silvcrhair should 20 with
her.
From that time much kindness was shown
to Rosa by every one in the house, and one
day Mr.. Stenhouse begged leave to take her
with him to the city, as he thought it pos
sibe that an eminent oculist there might be
able to cure her. So Rosa went with her
kind friend and two months afterwards the
carriage once more stopped at the cottage
gate, and Rosa, no longer a poor blind girl,
sprang into the arms of her parents.
1t seemed as if she could never gaze
enough at their dear faces, the stranger
faces of her beloved parents; but at last she
found time to turn to Silverhair, who was
trying in every way to attract her atten-
ton.

tifnl Silverhair - she cried; and when
you get old, will nurse you and when you
get blind, will lead you, and never, never
part from you again. -
