HOW TO GET RICH.
BY wv. d. MoRANGE.

bf H ~. 8phAS"Ss
Ppr on the airs Of an eight-kcyed flute,
II you're only penny whistle:
Pass where you can for q garden rose,
nyou're only wayside thistle.
How, whenever you blow your horn,
20 people can understand
That you may be sharp, but you won't be nat.
In society's great brass band.
Pass the plate or the hat in church,
With the usual Sabbath air.
But move with mild, religious squeak,
That people may know you re there.
II you carry nose six inches long.
(Apd a beak can scarce be longerD
Believe IL Sign Of perception strong,
And the longer IL IL, the stronger.
But II in the order Of nasal tubes
Your organ II brief In measure,
Then, breyity being the sonl Of wit,
Consider your pug treasure.
Love your neighbor-but mark the force
OF the gospel rule Of grace,
The more you admire yourself. my friend,
The higher your neighbours place.
C1,nk your dime In the Deacon's pan,
A. n you were throwing gold.
And give with an eye TO the business hope
OF rcsping hundred-fold.
Whether Your reading IL little or great,
Qnote right, or never quote;
Polish your uppers, though down tn the heel,
And never endorse note.
Always advance best hand. best foot,
best hand. best foot your own
And thus YOU may feast on the fat OF the land,
While others enjoy the bone

AS he held 1t tight in a deadly grasp,
He shiyered from top to toe
For the storm fought hard to have its way,
But 10 hadn't no sort of show
For his grip was a grip Of iron, You see,
And he gripped with grim despair,
TIL the clouds cleared off and the wind died ont
And the sky was once more clear
But he still held that barometer

And stoppd the storm comm on,
To be just as good as his word
And he never let 90 that hold of his.
And he never again drew breath.
For strugglin' with thunder and lightnin' so.

And this is the way 1t was, you see:
'Twere starless night in June;
He was playin' the drum on shipn ates head,
Below, with stone spittoon,
When the Cap'n called MI hands on deck
For the waves was rsin high.
And the air was full of angry sounds,
And a storm was in the sky.
The barometer hung on the pinnacle mast
And ii made dreiile show,
As the mercury fell, and fell and FELL
Till 1t never fell so low.

And seized the darned jgamarec in fash,
And turned 1t upside down.

And his hands was a. hard az knotted oak,
And his heart was as tough as iron.

Would out with his fleshin. knife,
And rip it into fellows ribs.
The most natural thing in life.
I've seen him gouge out suckers eyes,
And chew of the end of his nose:

Theirs no discussion on that;
And he laid out his critter every time
That he made up his mind for spat.

BosToS, Sept. 1T was Summers in
tention to deliver speech on the Presi-
Dental election last night, but as be in
forms L. w. Bird in letter, his health
has become so impaired, that his physi-
clan forbade his speaking and prescribed
absolute rest. The speech is therefore
published. It is devoted to elaborate
comparisons of Grant and Greeley, i'll
which he repeats the former charges
against the President, and lauds the his
tory and character of Greeley. He takes
the ground that the one term principle
is the road to reform in the civil service,
and that reconciliation is the principal
and the most important issue ever pre-
sehted TO the American people. He re-
CARDS the support of the Cincinnati
platform and nominees by the Demo-
Gratis as matter for the greatest reJoic-
ing and hopeful sign, and says their
votes will be new bond of peace and
& new assurance for the great principles
upon which the Republic is founded.

journal cF CIVILIZATION This is one
ef the titles of Harpers' Weekly pictorial.
The character Of most of its political
cartoons exhibit anything but civilized
sentiments or n Christian spirit. No
publication in the United States has
done SO much to cultivate the most un-
christian and iiliberal passions and pre-
ludlces, and remote sectional, sectarian
and party hostility. The moral and re-
Egious sentiments which it dissemin-
.tes are all based on the gospel Of hate,
the styage doctrine IF revenge, instead
Of love and good will to man. Its car
features of foreign born citizens, especi-
ally Germans and Irishmen, uniformly
represent them rs brutal AMI lawiess, the
lowest and most degraded clements of
society. All of these things are evil

When professed Christians thus hold

too manifest to deceive any but those
