Campalgn Songs.

There i one thing affecting presi-
dential campaigns which will never
die. IL mas epidemic to fearful ex-
tent III 1910 and 1871, and it ha,
rcsurrectcd Itself regularly every four
years since, though not to 50 lalnen-
Table an extent. Thi, year il will
prevail all over the country, ii any-
thing is to be judged from early indi
cations, and it is much 10 be feared
that there will follow in its train the
Old evils OF unnatural buoyancy,
fictitious happiness, sanguine expecta-
ton, swelied hope, exaggerated faith,
consequent jlm-jams and final collapse.
Need we say that we allude to the
campaign song: There are hundred
OF them III print thus early, and the
cry IS still they come, Notwithstanding
general p'otestation and prostration.
Here nov is George Alfred Townsend,
breaking out with more chuckles and
ripples than he has buttons Oh his coat.
He says every body is laughing-snd,
by the way, he is more correct than
usual in the assertion. This is the first
gush Of Georges music;
It's honest Horace Greeley
With his old white coat and staff
The politicians laugh in fear.
In joy the people laugh;
A laugh comes DER the Padiy's face,
And DER the negro's mouth,
And first since all these bloody year,
Laughs, too. the wounded South.
1t is a melancholy TACT that Doctor
Greeley doesn't carry staff, and who
ever says he does is liar and viii
Lain: but this happy troubadour goes
on laughing and singing, and ADVISING
others TO laugh and sing, as if there
were no other duties in all this world
until he reaches the final burst:
Stand up and shout, We laughers,
The laughing sun comes out;

gracefully filled her new position.

Treatment of Small poz.

We publish the following sugges-
tions from a paper recently issued
by the Philadelphia Board Of
HEALTH"
"Have the patient placed in one
of the upper 70 ms of the house, the
farthest removed from the rest Of
the family, where is to be had the
best ventilation. Keep the room
constantly well aired. Remove all
carpets and wooden goods, and all
unnecessary furniture.
Change the clothing of the patient
as often as needful, but do not carry
it while dry through the house, but
first place it at the bedside in buck
ct OF scalding water before the re-
moval from the room.
Boiling is the surest way of disi1-
fecting ali contaminated clothing.
If infected clothing cannot be wash
ed at once, let it be set to soak in
water, to which may be added sat
urated solution Of permanganate Of
POTASH, or Of chloride OF lime, about
a tea spoonful to the gallon.
Smallpox is supposed to be the
most contagious during GONZALES
cence, therefore strictly observe that
the patient does not mingle with the
family until the scabn are entirely
of, and only after a through purifca-
tion and entire change Of clothing.
After the patient is well or leaves
the room, purify it by the use of
disihfectants, by whitewashing and
serubbing the paint and floors with
soap and water, and let such rooms
or apartments be well aired before
being again occupied.
In regard to food and medicine
always rely on the advice of a pysi-
clan, who should be sent for as early
as possible"

A NEW YEARS STORY.
BY s. ANNIE FROST.

In a poor room, in the upper part
of a small house, q young girl sat
sewing. The room was very tidy,
the furniture of the plainest kind
but the extreme of poverty was not
there. Everything was in neat or
der, and there was an air of comfort
in all the surroundings; a clear fire
burned 10 the stove, that evidently
served for cooking as well as to
warm the room, and the only Occu-
pant sat in a deep, well Cushioned
chair, wearing a nicely wadded
wrapper, and wrapped in a soIt
wooden shawl. But what spoke most
eloquently of want, was the young
girl and her occupation. She had
evidently just left a sick bed; her
hollow checks, closely cropped hair,
sunken eyes and emaciate form told
the plain story of long and severe
illness, yet in her thin, trem bling
hands she held a piece of sewing,the
trimming of rich black silk dress
that was spread out upon the bed.
She was Obliged to stop often and
let her head rest against the chair,
but she presevered and round her
lips lowered smile,as ifsOme pleas
ant thought was associated with her
work.
Itwas in o1e of the pauses Of her
work. when her eyes were closed,
that the door opened softly, and an
other girl about her own age came
into the room. About the same age,
and wonderfully like the invalid.
The same short brown curls, the
same large hazel eyes, soft, fair com
ulexion and delicate features mark
ed both faces, but the new conner
had rounded cheeks and the bloom
of full health that was wanting IN
the other face.
"Sewing, Halter she crled' tax
inc the work from the thin fingers.
.&nd upon a dress trimming! You
ought to have a good scolding.
"But you will not give me one. :"
"Don't he too sure Of that. You
are not we'll enough to work, Hattie.
Who is that for?"
"Mrs. Hartley. She wants it for
| n New Years reception, and | had
il before / was sick. 1 work for her
husbands store, and she has given
me two or three dresses to make. F"
81 will finish it for you this after
noon. Now, we must have Dime" "
and she drew from under her cloak
a basket. which she opened. "Here
is a roast chicken, to be heated ;
some oysters, which I will stew;
cranberry sauce, celery, rolls, also
to be warmed, and custard pie. If
YOU are very good, and eat plenty of
dinner, you shall have also a glass
of wine and some white grapes that
are still in the basket. Then have
some news to tell you"
While she was speaking, Nettie
Hastings had thrown aside her hat
and cloak, tied a white apron over
| her black dress, unpacked the bask'
ct, and was now busily preparing the

A pretty good story is told Of a
citizen of Elizabeth, n. J., who went
to the cars to see his daughter of.
Having secured a seat for her, he
left the car and went round to her
window to say a parting word
While he was passing out the daugh-
ter left the seat to speak to a friend.
and at the same time a prim-looking
lady who occupied the seat with her
moved up TO the window. Unaware
of the important changes inside, our
venerable friend hastily put his face
up to the window and hurriedly ex-
claimed: "One more kiss, sweet
pet" In another instant the point
Of blae cotton umbrella caught his
seductive lips, accompanied by the
passionate injunction Scat, you
gray headed wretch" He Seated.

DISTINCTION.
J Come all We fair maidens and lend me an ear
And dolorous ditty you shortly shall hear
OF gallant so loving and maiden so true,
And famil that lived in the Fifth Avenue.
This family, you see, was a grand family,
With greenbacks and gold and tall pedigree;
For the father was Shoddy, the mother was Oil,
And the brain of them both in a thimble would
boil.
This father so rich had one daughter so fair,
That none on the hill with her could compare;
In her short dress so sweet and her chignon
quite new,
She'd scare horses, you know, on the Fifth
Avenue.
The father gave dinners, but the mother, you
see,
Being vastly genteel, had her little soires.
The daughter each season gave a German OIL
two,
That killed with envy the girls of FifthAvenue
The lovers came thronging this maiden to win
Her beauty they loved, but they loved more
her tin.
There were lawyers and doctors, and parsons
few,
Paid their court to this belle in the Fifth
Avenue.
There was Baron Won Kraut and Count
Devilletray,
Sir scallywag Bags and Signor Bouchey,
And real live prince with his name such q
fam,
It began with sneeze and ended in d-n.
To none of them all did this fair maid incline;
She sought with true love true love to en-
twine;
Brought up on Ward Beecher, she rose above
pelf,
The youth OF heart she would love for himself
One day her dear pa took his afternoon nap,
And awoke from his dreams at the sound of a
snap,
And opening one eye, in a corner within
Saw BOachy a-kissing his daughter like sin.
The parent arose with wipe on his pate,
Rolled into the room like buffer of state,
And trembling With rage, but fixed as a post,
Stood like Booth when he sees that old pump
of ghost.
Now William was handsome as handsome
could be,
And consented to serve for fixed salary;
To dismiss him was ruin, but the daughter
take care!
Twas rough travelling, tell ye, up three
flights of stair.
She wasn't locked up-oh, no, that amt done
In these modern times under iberty's sun;
But six maiden aunts and the parson you see,
Jumped onto this girl of the first family.
They talked and they talked, and she pined
and she pined,
Till first-elass consumption well-nigh defined.
Then the parent consulted old Doctor Fee-Je,
Who went with this father the daughter to see.
70 father" she cried, "yOu will soon break my
heart"
And she sighed like bellows and wept like a
water-cart.
You'll permit me to marry my William so
truef"
But he mildli responded, 'TIlbe id if I do"
Then in the wilest despair one evening SO
damp,
She blew herself up with a kerosene lamp.
Remorse seized the father, on his daughter he
cried,
And drank Plantation Bitters till in anguish
he died.
Then William grew reckless this ruin to see,
And he went down. and down till he joined
Tammony.
ae committed six murders, and then the great
clan
Did finish him up as a job alderman.
