The Quarrel.

And so you have quarrel with David
And, hide it as well as YOU can,
know at this moment your thinking
That he Is horrible man.
He has no regard for yeRr feelings,
He loOsens his hold eu your heart,
And each has confessed To the other,
That both were much better apart.
You think of the days of your courtshIp,
When David was thoughtful aud kind,
In all your vexations so hopeful,
To all of your follies so blind;
But let us sit down in the twilight,
And talk DER the subject awhile;
Before you take leave of the meadow,
It's well that you pause on the stile.
lis likely that David is fretful,
And careless at times, il is true;
His business absorbs him tco closely,
But is he not working for yon!
Sc when he comes holne in the evening,
Quite silent, and thoughtful, and queer
Just let your heart keep up It's singing,
And pCetend yea don't notice, my dear
For just as a scratch On the finger
VIII heal if you let it alone,
So many a trouble or grievance
That David or you may have known,
Would soou have been gone and forgotten
And left net a scar on the heart,
Had either keea fend and forgiving,
Had ySz never supposed you could part

The Period Of Greed.

From the New York Tribune.
It's as true as when Virgil
sang it aud Paul warned limo
thy against it, that the thirst
for gold is accursed and the
love of money is the root of all
evil. 1t grows TO be truer, in
deed, more easily demonstra-
bile, almost automatic. That it
has beslimed all our politics
within a few years past has
been only too plain. The greed
of money-getting beyond ques-
ton prolonged the war; it coil>
ed around the great philan-
thropic crusade of the age; it
coined the conscience, the earn
.estness, the devotion of the
people; it trafficed in cotton
behind the smoke Of the batter
hes; it took advantages of the
supreme hour when the nation
with unturned face invoked
the God of the battles, to cheat
the soldier, fitch from the treas>
Jury; it intrigued for contracts
by day and passed patriotic
resolutions by night; its zeal in
recruiting the army was only
surpassed by the facility with
which it clothed the recruits
with flimsy coat and shoddy
cap. 1t brought craftsmanship
to its low material standards,
made the Presidency a pecuni>
AIRY reward and all official sta
tons matter of traffic, corrupt
ed the people and slid into
Congress for the larger oppor~
tunities, infected all the atmos-
phere of the National and State
capitals, brought all legislation
to Its own tests, established
Hobbies, purchased Senators and
seats for Senators as invest
ments for larger. returns, and
sold at public vendue the ma
tons seats at the worlds in-
dustrial tournament. From
the shoddy contracts of Tom
Murphy to the signature ofthe
Salary Grab bill; from the plac-
ing of Credit Mobilier stock
where it would do most good
TO the selling of restaurant
licenses at Vienna, the slime of
the serpent is over it all.
1t has not only got posses
sion of our politics and tangled
in its folds our Christian states
men, but it has taken hold of
the churches and the pulpit, of
reformatory and educational
enterprises, of the very things
which would be, of all others,
free of its contamination, pure
from the reproach of its influ-
ence. Witness the disposition
made in several cases of the
proceeds of the salary grab.

They know that he habitually |

are building up a rival. If it
is not the same spirit that
brings to him the contributions
of better men, we are at a loss
to know what it is. "He pays

ignorance, vulgarity, hypocrisy,
and greed.
