Suggested on seeing FREDDIE JANE
taking last leave of the corpse OF hi
Mother:
Father, have found tear
In your eye, how came it there?
More are coming, how they chase
One another down your face.
Now l feel your bosom heave,
What does make you sob and grieye?
Let me wipe your tears away,
Or cannot go to play.
WHY is mother sleeping so?
Let me down and let me go
Let me 90 and let me stand
Near enough to catch her hand.
Why, it feels as stiff and cold
As piece of ice to hold.
Lift me up to kiss her cheek,
When, perchance, she'll wake and speak
Mother, Oh, is it she?
Why, she will not speak to me:
Mother had not cheeks so white,
See, the lips are fastened tight.
Mother always spoke and smiled,
Calling me her darling child;
She would give and ask kiss
When came, but who is this?
If tits mother, is she done
Speaking to her little one?
win she never, never more,
Love me as she did before?
Could she hear what we have said?
Tell me, what is being dead?
Oh. she does not breathe breath:
Father, what's the cause of death?

In the evening that followed,
Freds heart was touched and warm

words, he told his long cherished Sc

for love.
Amt Sabina stayed two weeks, and
thenwent home, to the immense re-

and Cornelia.
IL was not even suspected that
Corielia spent four weeks in the
height of the summer season, listen

"NHt time we will come to-

But alas! the next time Fred
camewas to superintend the funeral
of thdgentle old lady; and though
Corndia came, too, his happy wife,
thereMas no welcome in the pale lips,
or thlblue eyes closed forever.

It WAS apparently no very great

FUNERALS in 1876, says Edward
Abbott, touched weddings at the
point of feasting, and were often very
expensive, snowy, and pompus occa-
sions. In some parts OF the coun
try, esrecially among tue Dutch OF
Long Island ana Nav York, it was
the custom of a young man I" i-y
by his earnings after coming of age,
until a sufficient sum had accumula-
ted to provide for him a "respecta-
BILE" funeral when he should come to
die. Outlines the young Ourghe,'
would reserve half of the portion OF
wine which he literally laid in for his
marriage, to be used at the funeral
of himself or his wife. Special in
vitations were sent out for funerals
as for parties. The clergyman, pail
bearers and physicians attending,
were provided with scarfs and gloves,
and sometimes each with mourning
ring; while the feast which followed
the interment, at the house of the de-
ceased, elaborate with cold roast
meats, wines, liquors and pipes, was
not unfrequently an occasion OF
coarse excess, sometimes descending
into hilarious and noisy demonstra-
tions. A respectable" funeral OF
this description, might cost perhaps
q thousand dollars, while the funeral
of the first wife Of Stephen Van
Rensselaer, is said to have cost not
less than twenty thousand dollars.

This Bristow movement has become
a very important popular, and patri-

sake of the country, to be allowed to

good. No matter, therefore, whether
it runs in party grooves or a track of

fundamental element of Mr.. Bris-

proof that he has given of his de-

ability to discover wrong doing,
wherever it exists in the department

wrongdoers, no matter what their
personal or political relations may be.
In pursuing this course Secretary

Western Enterprise.

About noon yesterday tall, lank
young man, pants in his boot tops
and a tornado of energy in his looks,
entered -Sz-.ns.ii rv+s-;l@t-Are ON Grand
street, called for the proprietor, and
breezily remarked:
"rm from the West locking for n

l want to clerk it for you"
The proprietor, whose family lives
over the store, and whose wife makes
most of the sales, replied that he
didn't want any more help.
81 don't care what it is," contin
ued the young man. eff you don't
want me to clerk it, I'll saw wood,
sort over potatoes, paint your house

He was finally given job carrying
a ton of coal up stairs, and the mer-
chant went out for little while. AZ
ter carrying up two loads, the man
from the West informed the wife that
he was struck with her beauty, and
proposed an elopement. She pushed
him down stairs, and her husband
returned just then and went for the
stranger with club. Stranger toed
the mark. and came out A l.
A friend of the family came in
and took part, and he was also piled
in heap. A policeman was called,
and the man from the West slipped
over the rear fence, stole dog from
the next yard, and in ten minutes
sold the canine and returned to the
store and offered the merchant fifty
cents to settle damages. If he eN-
hibits as muck enterprise in evading
a court sentence, it would be well for
the government to hire him as chair
man of some investigating committee.

Camnaign Notes.

Private advices from California of a most
reliable character received confirm the prev
ious information that the State is sure for
Hayes and Wheeler by good strong ma
jority.
While some women are demanding the
right to.take part in politics others are quiet
ly assuming the right. Whatever may be our
opinions about the appearance of women on
the platform as political speakers, there is no
doubt that the presence of women in the
auditory has improved the character of our
political meetings. The innovation, so far as
its results are concerned, is in the direction
of decorum.-Neso York Post.
The Democratic Party in Delaware, says
the Philadelphia Times. itself strongly DEM

wrapped the winding-sheet around itself at
its State Convention the other day, with
resolution. "that the Democratic Party in
Delaware desires no votes of colored men,
but will succeed by the votes of white men
alone." When any party reaches such a
point, there is nothing left for it but to die.

Ex-Gov. Perry, of South Carolina, who
has taken the stump in behalf of Wade
Hampton, proposes to Danish the bloody
shirt, and let bygones be bygones, something
after this fashion: He urges the Democrats
of the South to abstain from all social inter
course with black-hearted Radicals, and to
treat them with the contempt and severity
that their infamy deserves lin short, to take
up the line of action where Hamburg Butler
left off and continue it until the Republicans
of South Carolina are completely subjugatei.
In this way does the era of reconciliation and
peace flourish under the fostering care of the
South.
Here is telegram sent out from Tiden's
New York bureau the night of the Maine
election:
NEW YORK, Sept. 12-13 80 P. M.-Returns
from Maine received up to 2.30 A. M. show
vote largely In excess of any before polled,
and indicate that the Republican majority is
decreased 6CC below their average majority
for Governor in the last four Presidential
years. There have been very large Demo-
cratic gains. The Republicans claim gain
by comparing with the vote of last year. The
comparison should be made with the vote for
Governor in Presidential years. Four coun-
ties, Sagadahoc, Hancock, Washington and
Waldo, show a net Democratic gain of 2,736

the number of negroes killed above thirty,

Perseverance.

One hundred and seventy years ago a
son was born to Massachusetts, tallow
chandler's wife. He grew up an awk-
ward lad, clothed in the regal linsey
woolsey OF his mothers loom, who's
hands were redolent with the perfume
OF soap and candles-a plodding soul
shat toiled by day and studied by night.
Stealing from the hours allotted to re-
pose, he labored on. Companions
stunned him because he was 30 dull {:
the woman of his choice ridiculed him
because he was SO awkward. Yet he
labored on yet he was perseverance.
he was Benjamin franklin. He was
dipper of candles, sticker of type, q
maker of almanacs, an interpreter for
Poor Richard" He never changed
his employment. In youth he made
light for Boston's lampless lanterns in
manhood he enlightened the world.
The poor printer boy OF to-day, the
honored Of kings Tomorrow the "Poor
Benny OF his mother to day, the i'm
mortal Franklin forever. Crowns have
pressed the brows and laurels wreathed
the temples Of far meaner men. He
charged baYonets against the liehtnines
OF heaven and they fell harmless and
quivering at his feet he wreathed gar
lands Of their fiery wings and bound
them round his brow. And vet he was
no genius. Plain, common sense. fxed
ness OF purpose, an unweeried industry,
an indomitable perseverance,, a noble
monVe-these alone were his.

On Going q COurting. -

Falling in love is an old fashion and
one that will yet endure. Cobbett, q
good, sound Engishman, says that
"between fifteen and twenty-five all
people Will fall in love-" Shakespeare
pushes out this season to the age Of
forty-five. Old Burton, writing on love
melancholy, gives us a'stilIfurther extern
sion of the case in saying "there be old
fools as we'll as young FOOLS" We find
in history that the quaintest, quietest of
men, the most outwardly sanity, cold
beings have had their moments of in
tense love madness. Luckily love is as
lawful as eating when properly indulged
in. We may all of Us make up our
minds not to oppose it, but to control it.
Therefore let us fall in love, "wisely
and we'll" A man who could teach q
nation how to do 80 would deserve q
statue of gold.
So much happiness depends upon
courtship that it is really serious mat
ter. Small attentions, thousand little
niceties precede the passion. Cobbett,
with his plain English sense, gives q
list of eight qualities in wife which q
man should look out for First, chas-
tity; second, sobriety; third, industry;
fourth, frugality !; fifth, cleanliness
sixth, knowledge of domestic affairs;
seventh, good temper; eighth, beauty.
During courtship there should be no
roughness, no rude assertion of prop
erty. cit should consist" said Sterne,
"in a number of quiet attentions, not
30 pointed as to alarm nor 80 vague as
to be misunderstood" Love, desire,
faith, esteem and all the anticipations of
hope should be on our side, 80 that if
after the sweet pastime of courtship the
day should be stormy and the gusts of
misfortune arise sweet remembrance
will cheer rs through all.

Requisites for a Newspaper Man.

Curtis Guild, in lecture before the
Boston newspaper men, said What,
then, some one may inquire, are the
requisites for the newspaper business 2
An answer to this suggests itself to my
mini in reply in somewhat powerful
terme, will admit, that I made to a
pale, hollow chested young man of
twenty-five or three who once waited
upon me with an inquiry of similar
nature. He had few thousand dollars,
and had just graduated from college,
and wanted to join with somebody to
" start paper !" Start paper This
is thought by almost every one outside
the business one of the easiest and
pleasantest things in the world to do
and 80 it is if you have plenty of money
to start with; but it is not the starting,
but the keeping of it going at profit,
that calls for brains. recall now the
reply, probably prompted by days Sc.
we're and exhausting work, when, after
listening as patiently as possible to the
young mans crude notions respecting n
business in which he had no experience.
he begged would tell him in as few
words as possible the qualifications
necessary to prosecute the business
successfully. He was somewhat startled
by the assertion that they were as fol-
lows:
brain as Il xtble and elastic as steel.
memory as tena cious as iron,
temper even as that OF saint
digestion equal to that Of an ostrich,
And the endurance of adsmant
