"Tin Wedding" Song.

1T MRS. W. W. THOMAS.
Air. "Annie Lisle.'
Changing years of joy and sadness,
Gliding swift away,
Bring again the festive gladnoss
OF our wedding day,
And we pause with tender greeting
For the hearts so true,
Bidding us, this hour Of meeting,
EARLY vows renew.
CHORUS.
Friends we give thee earnest welcome
To our home so bright;
Joy shall thrill with olden music
Heart and lip tonight?
Years ago the church bell called us
Through the aisles so dim,
Where the organ tones uprolling
Pealed marriage hymn.
Thence we came, with solemn promise,
Unknown paths to tread
And Timo's hand hath richest blessings
On our spirits shed.
Caonus.
Lo we stand in peace united.
Lifes waves ebb and fow
Warmer, truer love is plighted
Than ten years ago.
On the voyage serene we listen
For the dipping oar,
Heart to heart, in trust outlooking
For brighter shore.
CHORrs.
One sweet face uplifts beside us
One voice joins our lay,
And an angel seems to guide us
Through each feetng day.
God be praised whose mercy crowns us
Pure and undefled
Is the gift His hand hath yielded
Of this sinless child.
Chorus.
Some who watched us in our childhood
Smile not with us here,
And their Hower-strewn graves have hidden
Much of earthly cheer
But we hope to kiss their foreheads,
As in days gone by
When our household band shall gather
In the Home on high.
Chorus.
Tears shall find no place among u-,
Welded love shall reign;
For the bond first given in Eden
Hath for us no pain.
Blessed years whose faith and duty.
Prompts the covenant new
Blessed hope, to lead with beauty
All the journey through
CHogus.

The purpose Of the President to raise
the so-callcd "school-issue" for securing
his own third term, which was apparent
In his Des Moines speech, is more clearly
manifest in the present message. That
part Of IL which proposes the taxation Of
church property is meant to reinforce the
part which proposes seetarian strife to
reconstruct the common school system In
the interests Of 4 political party caught
and collared and brought to Judgment be-
fore the whole people for its blnnders. its
usurpations and its plundering Of the peo-
pies substance. 1t will be found that
Issues no moro than governments can be
made. They grow, and neither the soil
nor the atmosphere Of this republic Just
now promises him the crop he would sell
fishly harvest. Gen. Grant orders up the
school issue as If it we're brigade. The
brigade would obey. But the issue does
not exist in the condition, the necessities,
the desires, or the hatreds of the American
people. Their first and great necessities
now are honest men in Office and an end
Of the thieves; reform and economy in the
public service and an end of a $500 .000,-
900 budget; freedom from federal usurpa-
tons, and home rule in every State;
revenue tariff and an end of protected mo-
nopolies; hard money and an end Of India
rubber currency and imitation. These are
issues which Gen. Grant, if he were
competent statesman, might have forced
upon the people. AS it is they have been
forced upon him and his party.
From the Philadelphia Ledger, Ind.
The message is written with General
Grants peculiar force and ability. There
are people of all parties who will differ
widely from the President about the school
and church property part Of his message.
Some of them will wonder how the dis
cussion of its gets into that document, as
it belongs directly to the municipal and
State governments; and others of them
will hold to the opinion that some Gene
teries are just the kind of property that
ought to be taxed, whilst others should
not, and that if church property is to be
taxed at all, it should be the land, and not
the edifce. These are matters which have
exercised the minds and ingenuity of the
taxing powers Of State and municipal au-
thorities, and there is good deal more
to be said on both sides than what is
touched upon in the message.
From the Nep York Journal Of Commerce.
The obvious inference from the Pres
idents language is that our relations with
Spain have reached crisis, as has been
several times intimated from Europe aud
as often semi-officially denied from Wash
ington. However, if nothing come of it
after all, the result will be not altogether
out Of accord with the presidents
