Resolutions of the Boys in Blue,

The following resolutions were adopt
ed by the recent convention of the Boys
in Blue, at Indianapolis: fs.sF8
WHEREAS, The soldiers aud sailors Of the United
States took arms to defend the integrity OF the
Union, to maintain the supremacy Of the law and
the solidity OF the common country; and
WHEREAS, These results OF the great war, crys-
have been accepted by the American people as full
payment and satisfaction for the lives lost ana the
treasure expended In the struggle; and
WHEREAS, The cOwardly foes that struck at the
back OF the agonized nation have now leagued
themselves in perfect union with the bolder-rebel
element 10 render nugatory the effects Of our VIC
tain BY fraud what they failed to secure by force;
therefore,
Be II Resolued, By the soldiers and sailors, and
by the United States in convention assembled, that
this American nation Ia the creature OF God and
the people; that 1t is worth all the sacElaces we
have made or can make; and that it's value can
only be measured by what We, the people, are
willing to give forit RAf - ff
Res0tted, That the destiny Of this country for
good Is committed to the Republican party-an
organization Of freemen to protect and secure for
sufferings.
Res0lged That the Democratic organization,
headed by Tilden and Hendricks, is bad and
base representation OF the American people that
i is unsound on the cardinal question Of life or
death 10 the Repuhlic that II Ia the same party
which, in 1864, by Its platform denounced and de-
MED the success Of the war; that II has SYM
pathy to-day except from men who labOred against
the United States and sought to demOralize the ma
tion in the hour OF its supreme trial
Resotoed, That industry and free government go
hand in hand that prosperity comes not alone,
but as the child Of republican institutions. and
depends upon Republican success and that justice
TO all men s the condition precedent to public or
private welfare.
Resolped. That good government can only be
obtained by obedience TO law, and that the denial
OF political rights to the freedmen at the South is

THE ABsuRDITY OF IT.
Y JOHN PAUL.


II is all very we'll Tor the poets to tell
by way OF their song and adjoining,
or milkmaids who rouse TO manipulate cows
AT i've o'clock in the morning;
And OF many young mowers who bundle out
doors
The charm OF their straw-beds scorning-
Before break OF day, 20 make love and hay,
AT tve o'clock in the morning.
But between me and you, II is all untrue
Believe not word they utter:
To no milkmaid alive, does the finger OF fYe
Bring beaux-or even bring butter
The poor sleepy COWS, il told TO arouse
Would do so, perhaps, In a horn-ing;
But the sweet country girls, who would show their
curls,
At FIVE O'Clock in the morning
1t may not be wrong for the man in the song
Or the moon--if anxious to SETTLE
To kneel in wet grass, and pop, but alas
What II he popped down on a nettie?
For how could he see what was under his knee,
II in spite of my friendly warning
He went out of bed, and his house and his head.
At five o'clock in the morning.
II is all very well such stories to tell,
But If I was a maid all forlorn-ing,
And a lover should drop, in the clover to pop,
At five O'Clock in the morning:
II liked him, you see, I'd say, "Please call at
three"
II not I'd turn on him with scorning,
Don't come up here, you DAT with conUndrums
like that,
At Ave O'Clock in the morning"

stands scarlet fever, to which "a, 922
deaths are attributed. Diarrhea, which
is more fatal than it was twenty years
ago, caused 21,204 deaths, more than
$4,000 of them occurring among children
under 5 years of age. Apoplexy and
paralysis caused II, S43 and IL, ,572 deaths
respectively in 1874. Cancer is growing
more fatal, and as many as II, oil deaths
were ascribed to it, Last on the list of
the fifteen chief foes of life comes prema-
ture birth, which in 1874 accounted for
10,527 deaths, and whooping-ccugh 10,-

Congress.
From the New York Tribune.
The exact complexion of the Forty.
fifth Congress is not yet known, official
returns not having been received from
all the districts. The latest reports, how
ever, give the Democrats a majority OF
fifteen, which may be increased to about
twenty. The representation by States
in the House, according to the latest re-
ports, is compared below with the Forty
second, Forty third, and Forty.fourth
Congresses. In the Forty second Con-
gress the Republican majority was
twenty-five; in the Forty-third Con-
gressitwas 105. The Democratic majority
in the present Congress is seventy
seven.

A PECULIAR MANS ADVICE. - The
late David Snow of Boston had his pecu-
liarities, like other men, but he had a sub
stratum of good sense and practical judg-
nIent in his character which We wish was
more common. In the closing clause Of
his will he said at is my earnest desire
and request that all my heirs this, of
course, is more especially directed to the
males) should invest their means in somb
safe way, and pursue some steady, perma-
nent, Legitimate business or employment
with great perseverance and industry; and
success is sure TO crown their efforts in due
time. This course is not only an honora-
BILE one, but is almost always the most sue
cessful and satisfactory in the long run |;
whereas dealing in stocks and engaging in
uncertain and rash speculations 1 regard
as a species of gambling at best, a mere
lottery, and although sometimes pleasing
and exciting WHEN the luck is good, still
in the main such course is generally very
injurious aud demoralizing, aud oflen ends
in ruin, both pecuniarlly aud morally. 1t
is my hope and ardent desire that my heirs
will ever be honest, liberal, steady, indus
trions, kind to the needy, and attend reg
ularly some church, my choice being, OF
course, the Methodist, which has been so
long dear TO me-"

The STORY OF CINDERELLA.-The Lon
don Pictorial World says that the story of
Cinderella is not the invention of some im-
aginatiye genius, but that 1t is founded on
fact. 1t cites Slrabo as its authority. The
story is as follows: Zone day lady named
Rhodophis was bathing in the Nile, and the
wind carried one of her sandals and laid il
at the feet of the King of Egypt, who was
holding a court OF justice in the open air
not far away. His curiosity was excited
by the singularity of the event and the ell
egabce OF the sandal, and he offered re-
ward for the discovery of the owner. Rho
dophls claimed it, and il was found to fit
her exactly. She was very beautiful and
the king married her. She is re-
membered in history as the Rosy Checked
Queen of Egypt, and she lived two thous-
and years before the Christian era"

Building ON the sand.

'Tis well to WOO, It's well to wed,
For so the world has done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young and fair,
BE sure ye pledge with truth,
De certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth
For II you give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You1l find you've played an unwise part,
And "built upon the sand"
It's well to cave, tits well to have
A goodly share Of gold,
And hold enough Of shining stun,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust,
UnmiIed with purer things;
And he who piles up wealth alone
Will often have to stand
Beside his eofier-chest and own
It's ''built upon the sand.'
lis good TO speak in kindly guisc
Aud soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech would bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell.
The one who pitits starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well
