The MaMse"l
Hymn.
She swept low, rre,uding tril-
a spray of sound-across the keys
L hat felt her fingers from the first;
And then, from simplest caiences,
\ reYerent melody she nursed,
And gave it voice in words like these:
From full forgetfulness Of pain,
From Joy to opening joy again,
With bird ana flower, and hill and tree
We lift our eyes and hands to thee
To greet thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth!
That thou dost battle our souls anew
With balm and boon of heavenly dew
And smilest in our upward ewes
From the tar blue of smiling skies
We bless thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth!
For human love and love divine,
For love of ours and love of thine
For heaven on earth and heaven above
Wethank thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth!
Odove-lihe wings, so wide unfurled
In brooding calm above the world!
Watt us your holy peace, and raise
Inc incense OF our morning praise
UP to our Father, Lord of Heaven and earth!

SOME ATTRIBUTES OF AMERICAN LIFE
Bursting boilers and custom-house frauds
may have at first sight nothing to do with
each other or with my subject. 1t is indis-
putable, however, that the horrible massacres
perpetrated every few weeks or months by
our common carriers, and the disgraceful
REGULATION in which we allow our public SER
wants to indulge with hardly ever an effective
word OF protest, are alike to be ascribed to
the same causes which interfere with our
higher culture. 1t is by no means mere
accidental coincidence that for every dollar
stolen by Government officials in Prussia, at
least fifty or hundred are stolen in the Uni
ted States. This does not show that the
Germans are our superOrs in average hon.
esty, but it shows that they are our
superors in thoroughness. 1t is with
them an imperative demand that any
official whatever shall be qualified for
his post, principle OF public economy
which in our country is not simply ignored in
in country where high intelligence and
thorough training are imperatively demanded
it follows of necessity that these qualifca-
tions must insure for their possessors a per-
manent career in which the temptations to
malfeasanee or dishonesty are reduced to the
minimum. On the other hand, in country
where Intelligence and training have no
surety that they are to carry the day against
stupidity and inefficiency. the incentives to
dishonorable conduct and overpowering.
The result in our own political life is that the
best men arefdriven in disgust from politics.
and thus one of the noblest fields for culture
of the whole man is given over to be worked
by swindlers and charlatans. To an Athe-
MAN such severance of the highest culture
from political life would have been utterly in
conceivable. Obviously, the deepest expla-
nation of all this lies in our lack of belief in
the necessity for high and thorough training.
We do not value culture enough to keep 1t in
our employ or to pay it for its services and
what is this short-sighted negligence but the
outcome of the universal shiftlness begotten
of the habit of doing everything in hurry?
On every hand we may see the fruits of this
shiftlessness, from buildings that tumble in,
switches that are misplaced, furnaces that are
i'll protected, fire brigades that are without
discipline, up to unauthorized meddlings
with the currency, and revenus laws which
defeat their own purpose.-Atlantic Monthly

In short it Is the SIMPLEST. SAFEST, most
DURABLE and most ECONOMICAL Engine in
the world. We fully guarantee them in all the above
particulars COLTS ARMS CO. have spared no
expense in getting up SPECIAL TOOLS AND MA
CHIMES with which to build these Engines, so that

ierstood by all who are at all familiar with machin-
cry. Thus, every Engine of given size Is an exact
duplicate of every other one OF that size, and IN case
of breakage the broken part can be Immediately re-
placed by its perfect duplicate. ~.
The inventor of this Engine had in view, in its
construction the great need that exists tor perfect
Steam Engine-Of small power-adapted to all kinds
Of light mechanical work. and that should also COM
bine all that is good in Steam Engineering.
The first point was, to secure q perfectly philo-
sophical Boiler and Furnace in order to insure the
most perfect combustion and to take up the greatest
possible amount of heat sa generating steam.
The second point was, to make perfect cutoff
Engine, working steam expanSively, and keeping up
the temperature of the cylinder to prevent loss by
radiation or condensation.
The third point was. to combine and make the
whole a mechanically and scientifically correct ma
chine; all its parts being provided with means to
take up lost notion that 1t may be used for any
number of years, and always run smoothly. In all
these particulars much care has been taken as in
the largest and most perfect engine constructed
The result is-THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF POWER
PRoPoRTioNED TO The AMOUNT OF FUEL con-
sUMED-thus proving the fact-well known to men
of science-thdt acater is the best medium to trdnS
nit the mechanical forces, generated in the CON-
busion of fuel, to the production of notiUe poaoer

Our First Duty is to Keep Down the De-

BY GERRITT SMITH.

am asked by one and another wheth-
er am in favor of third term for Gen
eral Grant. My invariable answer is that
l am in favor Of anything and everything
that will keep the Democratic
party out of power. If his renom-
ination is essential to this end, then by
all means let it come-yes, and come as
often as there shall be the like occasion
for it. Better anything, better every
thing than the ruin that would befall
our country from the ascendency of the
party which sympathised with the rebels
in the late rebellion and with their ma
lignant purpose to perpetuate slavery ;
and which still cherishes its traditional
hatred of the black man. The slaughter
of the innocent still going on at the South
is due to this hatred as we'll as all ku-
Klux-ism, as was the negro numbering
mob of 1868 in New York, and as was
every one of the pro-slavery mobs that
diseraced the North Whether the out
break against our colored brethren be al
the North or at the South the Democrat
ic party is it's inspiration, its soul and sus-
tenance. | do not forget that the
Democratic press, in its pictures OF the
present outrages at the South, presents
the patient and long suffering negro as
the aggressor. Nor do l forget that the
wolf held the innocent lamb to be guilty
of rolling the stream.
In my eye Democracy is all one with
devilism OF course, l mean not that
genuine Democracy, which Thomas JEFF
ferson taught in his lessons for equal hu-
man rights. l mean the Democracy of
these degenerate days-the bastard De-
mocracy-which tramples upon these
holy rights. Ofcourse, too, do not in
/ i r NIN,A
cratic party all who are in it. There are
persons in it and yet not OF it-persons
whose pure principles are at widest con
trast from the base policies of the party.
do not, however, hold that these excep-
tional gentlemen are entirely blameless.

The Sunny Side.

There is always a sunny side to look
at. All OF US can turn away from the
dark and gloomy passages which we meet
on our way, and walk in Gods sunshine
The brightest natures live longest, live
most, and live truest; their lives round
into fuller perfection and development
than their less fortunate brothers and
sisters who look on matters in shady
light. All life is beautiful, with its va
ried phases and constantly shifting scenes
"a panorama that never is monotonous
or tiresome if rightly viewed Though
the road be sometimes rough, polish
comes by rough treatment. The dia-
mond would be useless unsmoothed and
unpublished.
Our natures require obstacles to give
us tone and strength. Combatiyeness is
blessing when rightly exercised. A
want of it causes many fits of blues and
many defeats in life. We all have a
right of independence, and should main
tain that right-not to the detriment of
others, but for our own selfhood
The sunny side is often obliterated for
awhile by our contact with rough un-
feeling natures, those inharmonious be-
ings who roam through this world and
seem to have no mission but that of
making themselves comfortable at the
expense OF Veryoody else. But let not
your ideal Of humanity be disfgured by
these; remember that the rough and
ragged burr covers the sweetest of nuts,
and the germ of divinity exists in all,
however thick the vail which conceals it.
There is a keynote to every soul, and if
we could find it the judgement passed
upon others would be- less harsh. Per-
haps their lives began amid stony ground,
and their early days were only sad re-
membranes. But they have a sunny
side hidden away somewhere in the tan
gled mesh-it lies waiting to be discov-
cred.
And now l will only say, let no one
come between you and your happiness.
Keep your eyes fixed steadily on the
ideal you have formed, and with justice,
charity, and self-reliance for your guild
choose the sunny path of life, and fus
the destiny waiting for you.
