BLESSINGS on the hand of Woman!
Angels guard its strength and grace
In the palace, cottage, howell,
o, no matter where the placei
Would that never storms assailed it;
Ralpbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
I~nfancy's the tender fountain;
Power may with Beauty flow;
Mothers first to guide the %streamlets;
From them sOuls unresting grow,
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled;
Fol the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman. how divine your mission
Here npon our natalsod!
Keep, . keep the young soul open
Always to the breath of Godt
All true trophies of the ages
Are from Mother Love impearled;
Fol the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Darling girls, with Eden's music,
Ringing yet III each young heart,
Learn and treasure household knowledge
Precious in life's future part
When your, too, exulting mothers
Bravely boyed and gently girlcd.
reel the mana that r0CkS the CraufS
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings on the hand of Womant
Fathers, o IL and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky.
Mingles where no tempest darkens.
RainbOWs cvermore are curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.

MoLToN gold breaks on the rivers.
Motion gold shines in the sky,
In the grass it quakes and q%uivcrs,
Flashing back from easements high.
Golden rod waves on the roadside.
And golden rod clothes distant hills;
Every lane glows with the flood tide,
Pastures, highlands, glad it fills.
Purple grass is slowly fading,
Sombrc puppies ash-trees gloom,
Purple astcrs show their shading.
Thrusting roots whcre'er there's room.
Woodbine hangs its crimson f1eckings,
Scarlet vines climb crimson thatch;
Maple wears its orange deckings,
Sorrel reddcns dullest patch.
Grapes grow purple meath the slanting
Sunbeams OF a lessening sum;
Pears heir ruddy cheeks are Haunting,
Red and purple DER them run.
Autumn ripens gorgeous color;
Tfnts of crimson melt to gold
Soon will come cold days and duller.
Gone this glory manifold.

CHINESE PRovERB.-The fish dwells
in the depth of the waters, and the eagle
in the sight of heaven; the one, though
high, may be reached with the arrow, and
the other though deep, with a hook: but
the heart Of man, though a foot distant,

To REMOVE SILVER STAINs.-One of the
best ways Is to wash the spots with a con
centrated solution Of sulphate or chloride
OF zinc, and to rub the worst places with
metallic zinc. Then rinse in pure water,
and complete the washing with soap. Ink
stains can be removed in the same way.
THE San Francisco anti Chinese papers
advocate forcing the Chinese to live III a
quarter by themselves, instead of allow
ing them to overrun the whole city, as
they are doing at present. Such an isola-
ton, the papers say, is essential to the
health and business interests of the city.

period as 1900. Since then it may be
considered an article of food solely.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

New York feels the need of better mu-
nicipal government, as all who have any
acquaintance with such matters in that
State may very well know. Aud so they
sre striving for improvement. The Con-
stitutionA Commission has presented a
plan to the legislature for uniform sys-
tenn Of government, of which the follow
ing is the purport:
The Mayor 10 to be, in every city, the chief
executive officer; is to nominate, and by and
with the consent of the Board of Aldermen
appoint. the heads of Departments, and is in
vested with the power Of suspension or re-
moval of such officials for ssmisconduct in Of
fee or neglect of duty" on charges which he
10 to specify in the order Of removal or sus-
pension. The Mayor may veto an ordinance
Of the Board Of Aldermen, but the Aldermen
can pass it over his veto by two thirds vote
OF all the members elected. Heads of de-
partmenta are to have the absolute power of
appointment or removal of their subordnates.
Aldermen must be chosen by districts or
wards, and the number of the board is not to
be less than one for every $4,000 of popula-
ton. The Mayor and Aldermen constitute
the local government OF every city, and they
are to have, in addition to their present func-
tons, exclusive legislative power in all mat
tiers relating to taxation and expenditure for
local purposes" A check upon this power
Of raising and spending money is provided in
. body to be known as board of audit, which
10 to consist of not less than FIVE, nor more
than eleven members, and is to be elected by
tax payers alone. The consent of majority
of this board is essential to every resolution
OF the Aldermen inv0lvin the auditing of ac-
counts, the issue of bonds, the imposition of
taxes or assessments, or the apportonment of
the items of local expenditure.
BY this plan the power of the Mayor
and Heads of Departments is enlarged and
their responsibility increased. Having the
power to appoint they must be responsible
for their appointees. They would be
obliged to exercise care in selecting theil
subordinates and watchful of them after
they were appointed. This infusion Of
personal responsibility might be an adj
vantage. The Aldermen have their pow.
er limited. But the board of auditors
would be . potent instrument in money
matters. having in fact the almost unlim-
tied control This is occupying the atten-
ton of the New York legislature, but of
its adoption there is no certainty

COMMISSIONER DoU91Ass

During the last campaign the New York
Sun made serious charges against the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, which
were the subject of Congressional investi-
cation. Like all the charges of the Sun
they proved to be base SANDER, published
for the sole. purpose Of -blackening the
character of an honest member of the re-
publican party. The committee to whom
these charges were referred have fully in
vestigated them and they unanimously re-
port That the allegations contained in
the New York Sun against Mr.. Douglass
are in no respect sustained, and are entire
ly without foundation in fact or truth. !"
The committee also unite in statement
which reflects the highest credit upon Mr..
Douglass for his integrity and efficiency.

GLADSTONE RESUMES.

The hiatus IN the British government
occasioned by the resignation of Glad
stone, is filled by the doughty Minister
himself and his associates returning, after
the refusal of the Tories to fill the vacan-
cy and the invitation of the Queen, to
their former places in the Cabinet.
Though the opposition had succeeded in
voting down the University bill in the
Hease, and defeating this measure OF the
Prime Minister they had not the courage
to undertake the task of carrying on the
government, so that Gladstone gains a
triumph in one direction if he sustained
defeat in another His entrance and an
nouneement to the House on Thursday
that he and his colleagues would resume
office, created quite an excitement. He
explained that he only consented to re-
sumo after the opposition had uncondition-
ally refused to form Ministry. After
he had spoken Mr.. Disraeli explained his
conrse. He declared the differences be-
tween himself and the Irish Catholics
were insurmountable. 1t would take
new Cabinet some time to get into work
ing order, and then it would probably be
out-voted every night in Parliament. He
could see no good in dissolution Of Par
lament. He and his friends on the oppo-
aition- benches would have great difficulty
in forming policy on so short notice,
and it was not to be expected that they
could appeal to the country without pol
icy or question more important than that
Of the Irish University bill. There were
many questions on which it had been inn
possible to mature policy even in oppo-
sition, such as the Central Asian difficult
ties, the new rules introduced into inter
national law by the Geneva award for tn
Alabama claims, the commercial treat
with France, and others Of equal magn
tude. All things considered, he had fe
it his duty to decline the responsibility {
organizing new government. Th
Queen herself had suggested the dissol,
ton. of Parliament. He had declined I
advise such step, and stated to Her NJ;
jesty that, in his opinion, there was n
adequate reason for the government t
resign. and that 1t might return to of1ic
without the slightest loss of honor and t
the greatest possible convenience Of tn
public interest.
And SO being without support in tn
House, and no policy to 60 before tn
country with in an election, Disraeli ant
his followers concluded to keep the bach
seats and allow Gladstone TO continue
tits q confession of weakness on theil
part which it must have cost them a great
deal of humiliation to make, but probably
the wisest course to be pursued, although
by some of the tories ii was opposed
sharply. Gladstone is not personally pop
ular, but he is able, and the liberal senti-
ments of his party are those which the
people of England believe in.
