WHO SHALL ADMINISTER THE GOV
ERNMENT 2
The Loyal or the Dlsloyal9

The one great and important ques-
I ton to be decided at the November
election is whether the Government
Eshall be administered by the loyal, OF
the disloyal. This is the momentouss
question now to be decided, compared
with which all other questions sink IN
to comparative insignificance Shall
the Solid South with 1873 electoral
votes be permitted with AZ electoral
votes of the Divided North. to get con-
troll Of the Government and admins
ter it in the interest Of the disloyal
rebels of the South. This is the mo-
mentous question which must and will
be decided on the 18th Of November.
And every voter should decide for
himself whether he is willing to
place the Government in the hands OF
the disloyal and to have it administer
ed in the interest Of the lost cause OF
the. rebel south, thereby enabling them
to gain by legislation what they lost
by the arbitrament of battle.
IF any one, and especially any LID
eral or Independent Republican,
thinks he can vote for Tilden and
Hendricks without voting to resqsc1-
tate the lost cause, we would ask him
to ponder well what he does before
he votes. So too we would ask any
Greenback Republican who thinks OF
voting for Peter Cooper, to ponder
well before voting and ask himself it
he is not indirectly helping the lost
cause by withholding his vote from
HAYES and Wheeler.
Never before has our country been
in greater danger than now, and the
danger can be averted only by the
election of Hayes and Wheeler on the
18th of November. If not thus ayerted
the Government will go into the hands
of the rebels of the Solid South and
their copperhead allies of the Diylded
North, to be administered in the favor
and interest of the "Lost Cause. Inc
Government will be administered by
the loyal or disloyal as the voters may
decide. Between the two every voter
must decide for himself. II he wants
the Government administered by the
loyal he will vote for Hayes and Vince
Ter. IF he wants it administered by
the disloyal he viii vote for T1lden
and Hendricks. And by his vote he
will decide what he is himself-loyal
OF dislOyal.

: WILL you play with me? viii you play with
me?'
A little girl said to the birds on a tree
Oh, we have our nests to build,' said they:
There's time for work, and time for play"
Then, meeting dog. she cried, Hallooi
Come play with me, Jip, and do as do"
Said he, 81 must watch the orchard to-day:
There's time for work, and time for play
A boy she saw: and to him she cried,
Come, play with me, John, by the greenwood
side''
"Oh, nor said John, 1--WE my lesson to say:
There's time for work. and time for play
Then thoughtful while stood the little miss
And said, 1t is hard, on E day like this
To go to work; but, from what they all say,
It's time for work, and not for play"
So homeward she went aid took her book,
And first at the pictures began to look;
Then said, II think will study to-day:
There's time fer work, and time for play"

The First Year of the Century.

A GENTLEMAN born on the 9TH of Feb
ruary, 1925, which quarter Of the present
century was he born in?" The Boston
Journal elucidates the point thus: Gas
the year 1900 was the first year of the
century, 1901 the second, and 1902 the
third, and so on, it follows that the year
1924 was the twenty fifth year of the CEN
fury, thus winding up the first quarter of
the century with Dec. 81, 1894" Per
contra, was the year 1900 the first of the
century," Suppose the present century
to have been the first in the history of the
era-then what should we call the year
corresponding to 1900, as reckoned abovee
We couldn't call it nothing, and say that
man, for instance, was g born on the Sth
OF January, O." The first year, then,
would be the year 1, and the year would
be the second year, and the year % would
be the 25th year, thus winding up the first
quarter of the century. Hence the year
lOO would be needed to complete the
century, and, by the same reasoning
following down the flight OF time-the
year 1900 would be needed to complete
the eighteenth century, so that the year
1901 would really be the beginning of
this century, and the year 1926 would fall
within the first quarter of the century.
Here are two sides of this question.-Neso

heart. Bless her. She turned herself
around and made different creature of
herself, and she tried to make Mark Hui.
ker think she had been coquetting all the
while, and, oh! how she cried when she
told me that she let him kiss her and pu,
his arm about her waist But she gained
her end by it. One night my good old
lawyer and two other men were shut up in
the pantry with Peggy's master, and she
dressed in her best, and waiting for Mark
Hulker.
That night she mad promised Mark to
take his pin, and, if he proved he had the
money he Dragged of, to promise to marry
him, and Mark came as merry as could be,
and little the worse for liquor
&c Now, lass, said he, a promise is a
promise. There's the money to count and
the watch to look at and the pin to wear.
Now you'll have me-?
And just then the pantry-door opened
behind him, and hand came down on his
shoulder.
&c We'U have you, my fine fellow said
voice, and there and then they arrested
him; for the money and the watch and
the pin were old masters; and one vino
knew, his son James, was here with the
detectives.
He gave up all hope from that minute
and confessed everything. How he had
made up his mind to rob old master that
evening before he was dismissed. How
he had seen me climb out of the window,
and so dressed in clothes like me and
made his plans to throw suspicion upon
me.
My Peggy brought me the good news
first-brought it into my cell, and threw
herself, weeping, into my arms, crying
out: You're free, darling; free and clear,
thank Heaven
They did not hang Mark, for master,
after a while, got better and, in the end,
quite well. But they punished him for
the robbery and for something he had
done, Of the same kind, before ever he
came to masters.
And as for the old man, when he was
well he was so sorry for the charge he had
made against me, though he had honestly
believed me guilty, as | well knew, that
he made me present of little farm and
stocked it for me. And the wife gave
Peggy her outfit; and here we are, as hap
Ply as the sheep in the meadow, yondel, or
the bees in the hive, hard by. And when
we hear talk of books and plays, Peggy
says to me: Jack, if they only knew our
story, they'd make one of it, I'm very
sure, and, as they say you're writer,
why, tell it to you, sir"

Woes of a Husband.

JOHN HENRY had been off on a bust
ness trip, and got home at three in the
morning. He found the doors all locked,
and tried to getin at the back window, in
the course of which proceeding police
man nabbed him for burglar
Why, you big idiot, live here" said
the injured man.
:" No, you don't, Gully; that dog won't
jump, I've had the nippers on you afore.
You're cunnin' cove, you are.'
"But [ tell you, you blasted fool, that
my names Henry, and live here Just
ring the bell and ask my wife"
So the guardian of the law rang the
bell, purely as a matter of form, for he
knew his man. Mrs. Henry stuck her
night-cap out Of the window, and asked (:
!" Is that you, Charlie9"
"Who in the blue blazes is Charlie ."
thought John Henry, and, while his
heart was boiling over with jealousy, the
policeman asked:
Is your husband at home, ma'am?'
ono, he's out of town, and won't be
home for several days" and then slammed
the window down in a hurry.
So the bewildered John went off to the
station house, and found out the next
morning that "Charlie' was a brother
from the country who had come to make
a few days visit.-Cancan1sat5 Times.

An Editor Of 1875.

In 1175 there were four newspapers
published in New York. Rivington's
Roydl Gazetteer was the subserv1ent tool OF
the British authorities. The Mercury,
published by Hugh Game, was a time
server and trimmer. Anderson's Const5-
tutaondI Gazette was born and died in IT'S,
and had no influence whatever The
New York Journal, published by John
Holt, was the sturdy and unpurchasable
organ of the Sons of Liberty. Its editor
fled the city after the disastrous battle on
Long Island and he was heard of after
ward as publishing his newspaper at one
and another Of the towns on the Hudson
under circumstances that would have ap-
palled less determined man In the
month Of August, 1777, while at Esopus,
he printed an advertisement, in which he
proposed to take any kind Of country prod
uce in the way Of trade. His prospectus
reads very quantity: {" And the printer,
being Unable to carry on his business
without the necessaries of life, is obliged
to atfix the following prices 10 his work,
viz: For a quarter ot'ae10s, twelve pounds
Of beef, pork, veal or mutton, or four
pounds of butter, or seven pounds Of
cheese, or eighteen pounds Of fine -four, or
half bushel of wheat, or one bushel of
indian corn, or half :. cord of wood, or
300-weight of hay, or other articles of
country produce as he shall want them, IN
like proportions, or as much money as
Will purchase them at the time; for other
articles Of printing work the prices to be
in proportion to that of the newspaper
Ali his customers who have TO spare any
of the above, or other articles Of country
produce, he hopes will let him know it
and afford him the necessary supplies,
without which his business here must
very soon be discontinued" It is graft
flying TO be able to state that the sturdy
patriot survived the Revolution, and lived
TO revisit the city Of which he had been
Postmaster in 1775. His patriotic lsbors
and suffering, justly entitled him to the
following epitaph: "a just tribute to the
memory Of John Holt, printer to this State,

Mean and Wicked Children i.

1T is not an uncommon thing for chill
dren to grow up and become better off
than their parents. The poor mans son
becomes rich. The daughter of a poor
mother becomes the mistress of noble
mansion. How do you suppose such chill
dren would treat their parents?
"They ought to treat them very kindly
and give them lots of good things" we
hear you say. Of course they ought.
But it is a fact that many such children
despise and neglect their poor parents
The silly creatures are ashamed Of their
own fathers and mothers. Shame on their
cold, wicked hearts! we say; don't you?
Some rich children are nobler, however,
and continue to honor their parents.
Archbishop Tillotson was one of this
class. His father, who was very plain
man, called one day and asked:
g Is John Tillotson at home?"
g Get outn cried the angry servant, who
did not like TO hear his learned master in
quired for in such plain terms by so plain
a man
But Tillotson had heard his fathers
voice, and rushing to the door exclaimed.
in presence of the astonished servant:
g 1t is my beloved fathern'
This was manly, flial, Christian CON
duct. We trust that if any of our read
ers should become rich while their par
ents are poor they will initiate good John
Tillotson, and not be so mean as to be
ashamed of those whose love provided for
all their wants. Honor thy father and
thy mother "-lSandard.

ROsSi's Duel in the Dark,

A LETTER from Paris to the St. Louis
Globe Democrat relates this pleasant little
fabrication of the prowess of the actor
Rossi:
One evening, in an Italian town, Rossi
was giving farewell representation be-
fore his departure for Milan, and it was
necessary to take an early train in order
TO arrive at the scene of his new labors on
the following afternoon. Near the orches-
ira was a group Of fashionably-d
ladies and gentlemen, who whispered and
talked together rather more loudly than
was strictly IN good taste. Rossi, who
was playing Hamlet" endured it as
long as he could; then he came quickly
down to the footlights, saying:
Il shall cease speaking unless you
do"
Naturally, the public applauded, and
the dlsturbers were compelled to retire.
After the performance was over Rossi
found card from one of the gentlemen
who Mad been reproved. Appended to
the card was challenge. The town had
already heard rumor that there was to
be..a duel as the result of Rossi's rebuke,
and the gendarmes had received orders to
prevent it and to arrest any parties who
should endeavor to fight So Rossi went
to the house OF the challenger and said
We can settle this little affair with a
brace OF pistols il my rooms at the hotel.
viii you come there? We shall be GER
tain not to be disturbed"
The other consented, and they had al
ready taken their positions, pistols in
hands, at opposite ends of Rossi's rooms,
when the landlord, who suspected some
thing wrong, knocked, and inquired if
"Signor Rossi was i'll, as there was a light
in his room so late" The two antagonists
held hurried whispered consultation.
"The best thing we can do" said Rossi
els to extinguish the lights" That done,
and some excuse offered, the landlord was
satisfied, and retired.
Now" said Rossi, "we will each
light a cigarette, and those will serve to
aim at in the midst of the darkness. Two
minutes later the pistols were fired; the
challenger had bullet in his shoulder
and Rossi was unframed. But the noise
of the shots was the signal for the arrival
In the chamber of the police, who kept
watch on the actors movements and
who brought him to jail. Taken in the
morning before Justice of the Peace, he
made little speech in his own behalf,
adding that he had but few minutes be-
fore him in which to reach the train, and
that ne was anxious not to break his en-.
gagement in Milan. The Judge received
him coldly, and said that "such an Of
tense as that of last night merited five
years in prison.
Rossi ventured again to remark that it
was then seven o'clock, and that his train
left at eight
Well,' said the Judge, "now that the
servant of the law has spoken, listen to
the same man in the character of a friend
l was at the theater last evening. Your
acting is divine; you were quite right to
punish that BLACKBOARD. l know that
they are expecting you in Lombardy; so
here is a ring, which please accept in
token of my admiration, and-good morn
ing"
Rossi reached the train in time
