Fire Under the Smoke.

The Daily Graphic has this to say
of the late election, in Ohio: The
Ohio election has blown most Of the
smoke from the political field. But it
leaves the public in a better condition
than before to ascertain exactly how
much fire there was underneath and
where it is located. Those who i'm
agine that this soft-money agitation Is
purely gratuitous, mischievous inven-
ton Of few uneasy and malignant
politicians, are profoundly mistaken:
They represent a large and powerful
constituency. When over two hun
bred thousand citizens Of one Of the
most intelligent States in the Union
vote against contraction and in favor
Of greenback currency, 1t may be
safely assumed that there are plausible
if not valid reasons for their course.
And it i morally certain that an issue
which polls thousands of votes more
than were cast at previous elections

Nothing Mean About Him.

A western paper tells the following :
A man went into Sights coDfectiOn-

manner, and rushing up to the prorri-
etor said:

eyes, sir" said Slight.
'WeIi," said the other, ''Pm goin'
ter cit married tcr-day, an | want a
cake. I'm no SLOUGH, an Pm goin' ter
dew things right up ter the handle.
don't intend ter cit married but once,
an yew bet III make things howl"
Slight smiled blandly, and com
menced lifting out ten and twenty dol
lar wedding cakes, gorgeous in beauti-
full frosting and artificial flowers.
Among the rest was a small plain cake.
Chow much is that" asked the ex-
cited purchaser.
-Four bits" said Slight
THAT'S the one for me;-here's your
money, old pard-wrap her up. Thar's
nothin' mean about me; | wouldn't care
| if it was six bits"
Slight gazed on the purchaser as he
went out about five minutes, the picture
of amazement, and then he sat down
and famed himself for half an hour,
and then got up and consumed hail an
hour more in slowing away the piles of
fancy cakes and talking to himself
softly, but his bland smile had passed
away for the time being.

with scales that move up and down as
it breathes, and glitter like gold shining
through feecy down, from which fine,
silky bristles wave, that constantly
change from one brilliant tint to another
so that, as Cuvier, the great naturalist,
says, the plumage of the humming
bird is not more beautiful.
THERE is no better time than now.
Buy such trees as you want, and then
heel them into the ground (by covering
the roots with soil, and leaving the tops
out in standing position.) Leave
them in this manner until the ground
Is warm in the spring; then, having the
ground properly prepared, plant your
trees, and they will grow right ahead.
Don't plant too early in the spring.
Wait till the ground is warm. But
have your trees bought and heeled in
the ground now, and if not now, very
early in the spring.-Cn. Gazette.

THE DREAM.

1 waited for my darling all through the summer
noon
The crimson fame ofsunset came, and then the silver
moon;
And, hearing not in silence deep bird or blossom
stir,
laid me down and slumbered that 1 might dream of
her
In sweet and simple beauty with blush the breezes
gave,
As 1.-the as willow bending beside the whipping wave
She rises mid sleeps darkness like stars through mist
that shines,
Or fairy flower in branching bower among the forest
pines.
The spring is laughing from her lip, the summer
warns her breast,
Upon her head the darking skies of cloudy Autumn
rest,
While winter takes her tiny hand, and IT with
snow;
Yet warm and soft its tender toubh My happy
pulses glow
Alas the joy is fading, the lovely face grows dim,
The vision bright, the rosy light in mingng shodows
swim.
But DER bend delicious smiles, and eyes with love
that beam:
Her own bright self has broken her image in the
dream

Children's Rights.

The first right of every child Is to be
well born; and by this ] mean that it
has a right to the best conditions, phys
zeal, mental and moral, that it Is in the
power Of the parents to secure. With
out, this the child is defrauded Of his
rights at the outset, and his life can
hardly fail of being a painful protest
against broken laws. Centuries ofprep-
aration fitted the earth for mans oc-
cupancv, limiting thus the grandeur Of
his destiny, and suggested that in an
event Of such magnitude as the incar-
mating Of a souls provision should be
exercised, and all the best conditions
secured in aid of harmonious and
happy result. Good health, good
habits, sound mentality and reverent
love should form the basis Of every
new life that is involved. The mother
who gives herself up to morbid fancies,
who considers her health an excuse for
pctuIancc and non-excrcise of selfcon-
troll, proves herself unworthy of the
holy office Of mother, and ought not
to be surprised if she reap at later
day the bitterest harvest Of her mwise
sowing, second in importance to none,
as the means of securing the happi-
ness and best good Of childhood and
youth, is the right to be taught obcdi-
ence. 1t is easy to submit to what we
know is inevitable, and to the little child
the requirement Of the parent should
be the law without appeal. The ten
der, immature being, shut in by the
unknown, where every relation is a
mystery and every advance an expert
ment, has right to find itself every
where sustained and directed by the
parent. 1t should not be tempted to
resistance by laws that are imperfcctly
enforced, nor subjected to the injuri-
Gus friction Of discussion by having
long list of reasons for every require
ment. The habit Of obedience to the
parents may be formed before the child
is two years old, and this is a necessary
precedent Of obedience to law, the next
stage of true development. The child
has a right to ask questions and to be
fairly answered; not to be snubbed as
if he were guilty Of an impertinence,
nor ignored as though his desire for in
formation were of no consequence, nor
misled as if it did not signify whether
true or false impression were made
upon his mind. He has a right to be
taught everything which he desires to
learn, and so be made certain, when
any asked-for information is withheld,
that it is only deferred until he is older
and better prepared to receive it.
Answering a chiId's question is sowing
the seeds of its future character

Prehistoric Handicraft.

In a lecture on the subject of "TOols
Of Prehistoric Man" before the society
Of arts, the Rev. Arthug Rigg, NJ A,
gave some very interesting particulars
in regard to the curious implements
which have from time to time been
found. He SAYS: The word "prehis-
toric' has a clearly defined meaning
with biologists. If one turns to a
scheme of geological strata, then those
strata found above the tertiary are di-
vided into three classes-the post-gla-
cial, prehistoric and historic. In the
former (post-glaciaD there are not any
| traces Of handicraft work. In the
second prehistoric there'are found re-
mains OF canoes made Of trees, Of
dwellings erected on piles, implements
made Of flint and stone, and fragments
Of charred wood. When speaking Of
the third or historic period, even then
biologists do not refer To such written
history rs we understand by the word;
but 10 the foregoing implements they
add such as are made Of metal. with
the flora and fauna of these periods we
are not concerned Each may for
himself decide how many years are
comprehended in these three geologi-
cal periods. For our purpose these
are three ages" one of which tools
were Of stone, and this Is again subdi-
vidcd into two periods, when the pal
icoilthIc or ancient stone period when
the stone tools were left with rude and
rough exteriors; and the neolithic or
recent, when there was somewhat of
an external finish or polish on the
tools. 4 second age in which tools
are found formed Of pure copper or
bronze, the pure copper tools being 50
rare that they are comprehended in the
term bronze. A third age in which
tools are formed of iron; these intro
ducc Us to the age in which we live.
1t must not, however, be assumed that
these ages are markedly distinct. 1t is
more than probable that whilst in one
part of the world men are using bronze
in another part they might be using
iron. Thus much, however, Is certain,
that in times to which even biologists
might hesitate to apply the term ''re-
cent, the smelling Of copper and of
tin were known, and the combining OF
these metals to form the hardest bronze
made and used at the present time was
also practiced. An analysis of these
ancient bronze implements shows that
the copper is alleged with from five to
ten per cent. of tin.
