Our New "Uncle Sam. /"
REFORM is the CRY sounding loud thro' !

" Reform" is the cry sounding loud thro' the
natiou,
From Maine to the verge of the West
From centres ofglory and scenes ofstRrvation
The word is no longer Jest.
Our country has suffered long pillage and
plunder
While trusting each wolf hearte lamb,
But the chains we are wearing we'll so0E
tear assunder
When led by our new "Uncle Sam"
Let Grant pack his baggage and Babcock at
tepd him;
Let Belknap goJoin Billy Tweed;
Let Blaine get his champions to cheer and
deiend him,
And send US some letters to read.
The tide ofdestruotion th.truns thro our land
With Truth and Reform we will dam,
Ard on to the White House with Liberty's
band
Well malch with our new Uncle Sam.
His record is proud and his banner is waving
Beside the bright flag we adore;
The bald eagle guides us and echoes our
craving
For men like oul leaders of yore.
The Empire State sends out her champion
true,
As strcns as a war-waging ram;
He needs but your trust and he'll dare and
he'll do,
So cling TO our new Uncle Sam.
Let rigmarole spouters aud swindling
shouters
Sink off with their business undone;
Remember your duty and look not for booty,
With Tllden our fight viii be won.
Where wrong deeds are rampant he'll soon
raise storm,
And of Justice he'll meier make a sham;
He knows but one maxim and-that is-Re-
form !
So cheer for our new Uncle Sam.

That season has arrived when the
thin man may rejoice at his tenuity.
His fragile exhility no longer suf-
fers by contrast with the broad, fat
man, who waddles and broils and
broils and waddles through the tor
tuous summer, a burden to himself
and an object of pity to all his less
expansive fellow-b beings. The per
son of physical insignificance, as the
cooling zephyrs play through his
skeleton, thanks his stals he is as
he Is, and his serenity and content
ment, as he proceeds to his daily
hauuts, are pleasing to behold. He
pays out nothing for thermometers
and his laundry bills do not oppress
him. His pipe-stem legs are joys tc
him, and his hatchet face looks
clean and cool. Happy is the truly
thin man in these days, be the mer
curry ever so near the top and the
shade trees ever so far apart.-Cou

The Democratic ticket will re-
duire but nine electoral votes from

from Indiana, if not from the two

this would require nearly all Of

not even probable. With Hendricks
on the ticket we insist we can right

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and

1t is an astonishing TACT, that IN
a country free as ours is, and where
every voter once or twice a year is
called upon to discharge a duty at
the ballot box, there are many, very
many persons, who never read a
newspaper, and who know but little
more what is going on in their
country than in the dominions of
the Grand Mogul. What they learn
of their own political affairs, they
learn from verbal communication,
subject as it is to various perver-
sions, coloring and misconceptions
and acting upon such, and such
communications only, they venture
to attempt to discharge the high
and holy and responsible duty of Il
Judge over other mems actions and

the affairs Of a great nation, extend

MUD MAULER.

Mud Mauler was an heress and
Put on more airs than the folks could stand.
But she tenderly loved the judge, though he
Was only a judge of whis-ki-ee.
She used to smile when his manly tread
Sought for the sidewalk above his head.
And they stood up before the Justice stern,
And she was his'n and he was hern.
But he often sighed, !" Oh, warn't fool !"
While she combed his hair with athree-legg'd d
stool.
And she often stared in mute surprise
At the voice he had for oyster fries
And it made him open his wondering eyes
When she got up her motion on cold mince
pies.
So he sighed in the bitterness OF his soul.
And plunged his grief in the flowing bowl.
And she said she was awfully sick of him.
And braced up her spirits with Old Tom gin.
OF all sad words we ever wot
The saddest are some we have done forget.

ADoUBrFUL COMPLIMENT.

Eli Perkins tells this characteristics
story on himself and his lecture expert
ence in his new book:
One day, writes he, as the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad train
neared Burlington, Iowa, I sat down by
an old farmer from near Ottumwa.
Corn bins lined the road and millions
OF bushels OF corn greeted us from the
car windows. Sometimes the bins full
Of golden grain followed the track like
a huge yellow serpent. ...s.-
Looking up at the old Granger, ] asked
him where all this corn came from.
"Do you ship it from New York, sir ?"
"From what D. he said. laL
"From New York, SIR" a.
"What, corn from New York %
Eyes sir" I said. Did you import it
from New York or did you ship it from
England p 9SGl 88s
He looked at me from head to foot,
examined my coat. looked at my ears,
and then exclaimed: - Great---p'
/ never heard those two words sound
so like "darned foof before. -
A moment afterward the old farmer
turned his eyes pityingly upon me and 4
asked me where lived. 49,

"Whar? p
"In New York, sir. 1 came west to
lecture" a
''What you lecture :" A
"Yes, SIR" ,.....

"You do lecture, do you? Well, I'd

compliment, orwell, what was it.

s. Our Centennial calls M the fact

SE Our Centennial calls up the facts
as to our religious progress. They are
very remarkable, and have been collated
by Prof. Denian, of Brown University.
In 1777 the number of churches was
less than $50; by the census of 1870 the
number was $4,000. Churches have
multiplied nearly 81 fold; population
ii fold. In 1870, religious societies
owned 1854 ,000, 900 worth Of property.
The most extraordinary increase has
been among Methodists and Roman
Catholics. The rapid ratio of increase
of religious bodies might well seem
alarming, were it not that the vast
amount Of property held by religious
organizations is distributed among many
bodies. A century ago the Congrega-
tionalists were largely in advance; Meth
odists we're hardly known by name.
Now Methodist are the largest organ
ization in the land. One hundred years
ago the more important religious bodies
were reckoned in the following order.
Congregationalists, Baptists, Church Of
England, Presbyterians, Lutherans,
German Reformed, Dutch Reformed,
and Roman Catholics; in 1870, by Meth
odists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Roman
Catholics, Christians, Lutherans, Con-
gregationalists and Protestant Episco-
pal. The zeal of American Christianity
has nowhere expended itself with such
IezucAasss y S.aii siiasss ~ :lls is and
colleges, and precisely at this point the
Roman Catholic Church merges into
significance. II ranks now as foarth in
population and second for the value Of
church property. 1t has occasioned APP
prehension, but on insufficient grounds,
as reasons for its surprising growth can
be found in foreign immigration. Nei-
ther the church statistics nor the census
furnish material for anxiety. But con-
ceeding that the ratio Of the increase
has been great, there is nothing in the
growth of this powerful body which
need excite any apprehension.

WHIsTLrNa. writer says: Consider
ing the vast annoyance caused to men
and women by the prevalent vice of
whistling, We may vol ponder the ques-
ton, why do men whistle? I? Women do
not, although we could well tolerate
anything from their lips but determined
refusals. What impulse leads a man to
inclose circular space with his lips,
then by sheer pneumatic force make
the noise called whistling? If the lips
looked more elegant in this form there
would be plea for whistling. But this
is very rarely the case. Granted q
moderate sized mouth, with the upper
lip rather small. the personal appear
ance of the whistler may be tolerated.
but granted big mouth and q pent
roof upper lip, aud the whistler pre-
sents to you facsimile of an elephants
trunk. Strange to say, the latter class
of whistlers are the most prevalent,
md if wbistling be a fine art and not
one of the ills that flesh is heir to, the
big mouthed are the most inefficient,
though the most persevering perform
ers. We could read with greater coin
fort and interest between two large saws
that were being sharpened than near an
invoterate whistler.
