TOM rYpn

TOM TYPO.
Tom Typo was printers lad,
B0ts'ad in the good old way:
ana when he'd served his seven years.
The deUa was to pay.
SO when his boss had paid him off.
To put himself to PROOF
de swung his bundle, took his stieE-
And left his masters roof.
He started in on odds and ends
Pertaining to his trade;
For well he knew that much depends
On JsrSt impressions made.
"nere duty called him he was found,
Stin working in his place;
de stood while setting ,,p a job,
Which really was the case,
he never swerved an inch from rules,
To make his matter fat;
But spaced life's paragraphs, that fools
Might never scof thereat.
In course Of time his honest heart
TWlned round a muslin dress,
And as the wearer was agreed,
Their fond lips lcent to press.
He married pretty Emma Grey,
With many haws and hens;
This little joke he used to say:
He'd like ten thousand ems"
Sweet Emma proved to honest Tom i.
A true and faithful wife,
And freely was admitted to
Theasdnetttnt of his life.
Times roller passed across Iife's bed,
But never linked TOMS wealth:
His troubles bore a dOsbIe-EeGd;
Still he composed himself.
And so he kept his pages clear,
And grew to be a type
OF all that manhood holds most dear
When Tom with age was ripe.
At last, when came the final rest,
Without one sigh or moan,
he said: "NIy friends, above my breast
Place no imposing Stone.'
He made his last impression here,
While yet his heart was warm
just IN the nick closed his career,
And death locked up his form.

Here lies printer-manya tear
In sorrowinR eyes shall swell;
For though he handled much breUier
His life was TOnpdrea.

Which gave to him his birth:

LEARNING BY EIPEEIEycE

u.
i A few days since an elderly gentle
who had got out of business and consid-
cred that he was too advanced in age to
do hard work, concluded to start a
grocery store. He secured a stock of
goods. and yesterday morning, while
preparing for opening the establish
ment, concluded that he would tap the
kegs of beer left on the previous day.
A friend who was present, seeing him
approaching one of the kegs with an
auger, inquired what he was going to
do, and learned that he intended to
tap that beer" The questioner sug-
gested that the proper way was to place
the faucet in position and drive in the
cork which the revenue stamp covered,
but the old gentleman concluded that
his way was the best, and forthwith
forced hole through the top of the
keg. Of course the beer ascended like
a fountain as he withdrew the auger,
and he endeavored to suppress it by
putting his hand over the hole, and fail
ing IN this, by inserting his finger as
a last resort he sat down upon it, call
ing loudly for some one to hand him a
faucet, but meanwhile the beer had
forced it's way through his pants.
climbed upward, and was oozing out
everywhere-emerging from his waist
band, and even at his shirt collar, and
the bystanders were laughing so hard
that they were unable to do anything
to relieve him, even if they had dared |
to venture within the area of beer spray.
1t was not until every drop of liquid
had left the keg that the old gentleman
felt warranted in getting up.-Sacro-

Elk Point Convention in honoring me
with the nomination of the Republican
party for Delegate to Congress, reached
me in due time, and my hesitancy in
accepting the same is my excuse for not

have been exceedingly pleased if some
man more competent and better adapt

had been selected for this important po-
sition, and we're l to consult my own
feelings, l should now promptly decline
the honor that your convention has so
generously profered me. But when |
consider the unanimity with which the
convention acted in making me your
candidate, position wholly unsought
on my part, and the urgent solicitation
of numerous friends from different por
tions Of the Territory, consider it to
be my duty to sacrifice MY personal.
feelings and pecuniary interest, and
yield to the demands Of the party, with
which I have been so long and so init
mately identified. -..
I have "no enemies to punish or
friends to reward" and if elected to
represent our growing young Territory
in Congress, it shall be my aim to serve
the entire people and do what I can for
the. promotion and advancement of the.
Territory with which I am fully identi-
fed in all my interests.
I sincerely thank you, and through
you, the convention, over which you
presided, for this manifestation Of your
personal regard for me.

American Credit Abroad.

There can be no question of the fact that
American credit abroad has more or less suf-
fered from impositions practised by our own
countrymen. Wildcat securities, which were
worth little more than waste paper and COM
manded no confidence at home, have been
bolstered up by the tricks OF the speculative
gambler and politician, covered all over with
gilt-edged promises and so thrown into the
foreign market. The English investor has
taken the bait, but only to find himself at last
deceived and plundered 1t is but natural
that his indignation should BE- aroused and
find utterance, as it is doing at the present
time, through the columns of the English
journals. Even John Bright finds time to
write the following strong language TO cor
respondent
The Emma Mine business is dismal story, but
think you must see that can 10 nothing IN II.

undertakings, and especially tnat they should he

clans. Follow POLITICIANS, II you like In politics,
but not IN investments OF money, least Of all IN

cred rom the rascals ia the States. whether you
can get any thing IRON their allies dupes IN this
country Is question OF facts and OF law, about
which can give no opinion. You must excuse me
anchOiy story about which you have written me.
1t is not wonder that words like these
should sink deeply in the minds Of vast
community Of Investors and compel the keen
est scrutiny of all modern American ventures
which seek n foothold on English SOIL But
fortunately there are two sides to the question.
While America may have been disgraced as the
birthplace Of even n score of swindling enter
prises that have been accepted as honest on
the other side of the Atlantic, and millions of
dollars have thus been enticed by false pre-
tences from the pockets Of rich and poor
alike, there is still substratum of pros
perity and wealth, of enterprise and
growth, which cannot be permanently
disturbed while the nation has an
existence. Credit Mobiliers, Northern Pacific
railroads, Emma mines, Tweed rings and
Treasury contracts may exert demoralzing in
fuences until their rottenness becomes a
stencil in the nostrils, but they run their
course like every other foul disease.
Somehow and somewhere the country finds a
cure, and in destroying the pestilence, enters
upon even stronger career than before. The
American people are too resolute to be per-
manently repressed by misfortune either of a
national, corporate or an individual charac-
ter. Boston and Chicago have become ash heaps
and millions of money have been wiped out
OF existence; yet how prompt was the process
| of recovery. and how grand the enterprise
