Early Morning.

Somebody who has taken the trouble to
rise early in the morning imparts to the
Independent some very interesting facts in
regard to that portion OF the day. lie
says from four o'clock till seven there is a
period as distinct from day as is the time
from six in the evening until ten. Most
persons understand the meaning of even
ing; but morning means no more than a
point-a mere time 10 get up and dress
for the day. But decidedly the richest,
most marked part Of the dsy-the fullest
unique joys, songs, and suggestions is the
morning. Thomas Fuller lis it?) says:
"Do not spill the morning (the quintes.
sence OF the day. in recre0tions." That
is 1t exscny-the quintessencC. About
four OF an August morning the great
wave OF bird.sOng reaches you. Where
1t starts l don't know. Probably on the
shores Of the Atlantic, with reed birds /;
but It always comes, with tho sun, from
the East. At first you hear just one in.
quiring note, away down the valley; after
little, another sleepy twill, then another
and another, keener, fuller, wide.awakc,
joyful; until the valley is rocking aud
rolling with q tide of song. And all the
while it is drawing nearer. A robin shouts
In the elm over the roof; the tide dashes
and hCws over you-on, on to the Pacific,
For halt an hour every bird in all your
world Is half crazed with inspiration,
pouring forth the exquisite rhythm of hls
being in hallelujah chorus. And then
the perfume and purity of the air. 1t has
an odor neither Of nig ght nor day; but the
dew seems to hold in solution those pecu,
liar hOneysuckle odors that are never
emitted TIL night.

ST. LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS, October 6.-The Democrat
today gives lengthy account of a secret
political organization called the "Ameri.
cae Reform Party" information of which
WAS derived from gentlemen holding high
office in its rankS. 1t says that The or.
ganization was first formed in 1867, but II
had only feeble existence, confined 10 A
few Eastern States, until the New York
riots in 1870, when 1t took new start,
and shortly after that agents were sent
through all the States to form a nucleus
OF the American Reform Party, and now
ramiies the whole country. In Missouri
alone thereare $50 clubs and q State Coun.
Gil In st. Louis there are twelve club coun.
ellis, which hold meetings almost nightly.
and claim tohave 5000 voters in this CITY,
The principal features OF their platform
OF principles are the declaration for the
perpetualiOn oil the Federal Union; that
Americans must rule America; neverthe.
less, persons born abroad OF American
parents, aud foreigners coming TO the
United states under twentyyear Of age,
should be entitled to all the rights and
privileges ofnative born citizens; that no
person should be selected for a politi.
cal station, whether native or for.
eigner, who recognizes any allegiance
or obligation to any foreign power what
ever; unqualified recognition and mainte-
nance OF the reserved rights of the States
and nOnlnterferenCe by Congress with
purely State questions; opposition 10 any
union OF church and state, and no inter-
ference with any religious faith or wor-
snip; no test oath for office; thorough
investigation Of all alleged abuses of trust
by public officers, and strict economy in
public expenditures; enforcement of all
laws cOustitutionally enacted until thcy
are repealed or declared void by compe-
tent Judicial authority; that ali children
are entitled 10 education at public ex-
pense free from sectarianism, and that
there should be no division OF school
funds for other than school purposes.
Party claims have already influenced
some elections in the New England
States, and refers to the fact that there Is
but one foreign born person on the Dem.
ocratic State ticket in this State as eyi-
dence of their influence. In Missouri the
position OF party is not aggressive, but
defensive, the object being 10 defend the
laws and principles Of popular govern
mGnt and compel every man in this coun-
try to be an American.
The closing words Of the Democrats in.
formant are: "We have in our order
persons Of all nationalities and RELIGIONS
and VIC only ask that they shall all be
Americans in principle and feelings. We
war not against any mans nationality or
religion, but we say no monarchial prin-
ciples shall be engralted upon the politi.
cal system of America

GA Mans a Man for a. That. -

There is something pititul in the sight
OF a vagraut trampiDg along in sunshine
and storm gathering aims by the way
side. Imagination sometimes revels in
conjectures as 10 their former lives and in
nearly every instance the countenance
tells tho story. Here is one whose bloated
face portraYs ian over true tale" oi many
midnight carousal In times gone by.
Vice dragged down the next, deeper and
deeper in the scale OF inlamy until like
the wandering Harper,
"HC boGS his bread from door to door,"
Sometimes signs will fail and in those
cases the conclusion is reached that it is
the perambulating remains Of an editor
who tried to please everybody in his pa.
per, instead Of travelling sternly forward
like John Bunyan did on tho war path
for the celestial city, taking political
scalps by the way side.
The subject is, however, too sacred for
levity. Il might by little stretch OF i'm
agination symbolic the never ending
tramp Of the Wandering jew" who,
through "fre, and rain, and hail, and
snow" shall go on and on until the last
trump shall wake the living and the dead.
Right reverently is II said that the way.
faring Vagrant so metimes brings TO mind
the pititul Plant floating down through
the long centuries from the Plains Of
Palestine:
"The Foxes have holes and the Fowls
Of the air have nests, but the Son oI
Man hath not where 10 lay his head."-

The Menr of the Rrn,n.

The notion that those who work only
with their brains need less food than those
who laber with their hands has been the
cause of untold mischief Students and
literary men have often been the victims
Of slow starvation from their ignorance
OF the fact that mental labor causes great.
er waste OF tissue than muscular. Ac-
cordiug to careful estimates, three hours
Of hard study wear out the body more
than u whole day Of hard work at the an
vii and on the farm. "Without phospher-
us, no thought" ," is German saying; and
tho consumption Of that necessary ingre.
dient oil the brain increases in proportion
to the amount Of labor which that organ
irrcquired to perform. This wear and
tesr Of the brain arc easily measured by a
careful examination ol the salts In the
liquid cxcretions. The importance OF the
brain as a working organ is shown by the
amount OF blood Il receives, which Is pro.
portionately greater than that Of any other
part of the body. 0ne.fiilh ot the blood
goes 10 the brain, though Its average
weight Is only about one fortieth ot the
ight Of the body. This fact alone
would be sufficient TO prove that brain
workers need more and better food than
mechanics and farm lAborers.
