The CansaoI GrOuuds

A large number OF small pine trees of
various kinds has been set cut on the capt.
tot grounds, the improveme- IS of which are
being rapidly pushed forward. The grounds
have been sUwed in blue grass, and by next
summer will present pleasant appearance.
Would it not be well for the city authori-
ties to have the sidewalk on Cedar street
improved and put in a respectable condi-
ton? The bricks scattered about as If
emptied at random from a runaway cart
might be removed if nothing else were
done ...

HORACE's COURSE.


The white-coated philosopher, rural enthusi-
asst, and ex-Republcan editor, has spoken. He
marks out his course Of action for the coming
campaign, in the Tribune to-day, as follows
First II there shall be Democratic cand-
dates for President and Vice President in the
field, we propose to support that Republican tick
et which seems most likely to succeed.
"Second. If the main issue in the canvass
shall be protection against free-trade we shall,
- no matter as to the candidates. be found on
the side of protection.
Third. But il, as we hope and expect, there
shall be two Republican tickets, and none other
presented, with any hope of success, we shall
favor that one whose election will be- in our judg-
ment, most nkelyto promote economy in public
expenditure, purity in Legislation and adminis-
tration, substantial unanimity in upholding for
all citizens a completed equality OF rights under
the law, and hasten the return OF fTaternal con-
cord and mutual good will between those who
were arrayed against each other in sanguinary
strife throughout our great civil war. Such is
our position, and it will not be affected by the
nomination Of or B, Cor d, at Cincinnati, Phil
adelpha, or elsewhere"
As to the first rule of action there is not much
doubt that there will be democratic" candi-
dates in the field. Mr.. Greeley will then have
to decide whether the Cincinnati candidate has a
better chance than the one nominated at Phila
delphia.
In the second place, he goes for Protection
But il his method of supporting it is to be char
acterized by such disngenuousness as wa
shown in the recent quibble, by which he eyadet
an open adhesion to "Revenue Reform, in hi
letter to Col Grosvenor, this declaration con
tains little of value.
Third, it, as he "hopes" and expects, " ther'
are but two tickets, and those both Republican
he will choose which he esteems best. And 81
will all other Republicans. They have already
done so. Ninety-nine out Of every hundred
mean to adhere to their party, and not go "plow
ing with strong heifers." Mr.. Greeley's judg
ment, if it should be expressed in favor of SOM
guerrilla and bolter, who is simply put up as
cats paw, to serve the Democratic minority
will not influence the great mass of Republican
votes particle, and he will find it so, at til
polls, in November.

Be speedy ma, am you are keeping better GUS
toners waiting. Half peck Of Indian meal,
and one French roll, said the woman; but her
lip quivered, and she turned to wipe away a
trickling tear.
l looked at her straw bonnet, all broken-at
her faded shawl, her thin, stoop form, her coarse
garments; and read poverty on all-extreme
poverty. And the pallid, pinching features-the
mournful but once beautiful face-told me that
the luxuries were not for her.
An invalid looked out from his narrow window
whose pale face longed for the fresh oranges;for
whose comfort the tea and the butter and the
fine French roll were bought with much sacrifice.
And saw him sip the tea and taste the dainty
bread, and praise the flavor OF the sweet butter
and turn with brightning eyes to the golden fruit.
And hear him ask her, kneeng at the smok-
ing hearth to taste them with him. And as she
set her broken pan on the edge to bake her coarse
loaf, heard her say, by and bye, when am
hungry"
And ''by and bye when the eyes of the suf-
ferer are closed in sleep, | saw her bend over
him, with blessing in her heart. And she laid
the remnant OF the feast carefully by, and ate
her bread unmoistened,
started from my reverie. The grocers hard
eye was upon me. You are keeping better GUS
| toners waiting
Oh, how longed to tell him how poverty and
persecution. contempt and scorn could not dim
the hearts fine gold purified by many trial; and
that woman with her little wants and holy sacTi-
/ fees was better in the sight of God than many
trumpet-tonged Dives wro gave that he might

MUN1oIPAL DEBT AND TAXATION

While the State debt of Massachusetts, has
been reduced to less than S2s, 900, ,OOO, the cities
and towns have an aggregate indebtedness of
over $51 OO0, ,0OO., and this is rather increasing
than diminishing. Thirty-three towns, only, re-
port themselves free from debt, and the rates of
taxation in some, where the interest charge is
heavy, would seem to be quite burdensome. In
