of bankrupt railroads at the expense OF
individuals bondholders He has made
himself rich by making others poor. The
whole history of his business life bears
the indeible imprint of fraud. His pc
ltical career is Of the same piece. For a
lifetime he has been the intimate of the
worst politicians this country has known.
For years Tweed did with him as he
listed The last candidate of the Demo
cratic party for the Presidency, the Ia
mented Horace Greeley, wrote to Tilden
ali open letter in 1869 in which he traced,
ward by ward, the monstrous election
frauds Of the Tammany ring, and begged
him To join honest men in their search for
reform The appeal was vain one. Til
den was always for Tweed while Tweed
prospercd. When ruin came, he turned
upon his friend and sought to build him
self upon Tweed's destruction. 1t was an
act characteristic Of the man.

Southern States that if | shall be charged
with the duty Of organizing an Adminstra-
tion. it will be one which will regard and
cherish their truest interests, the interests
of the white and of the colored people both,
and equally, and which will put forth its
best efforts in behalf of a civil policy which
will wipe out forever the distinction be-
tween the North and South in our common
country.
With Civil, Service organized upon a
system which will secure purity, experience,
efficiency and economy, strict regard for
the public welfare, solely in appointments,
and the speedy, thorough and unsparing
prosecution and punishment of all public
officers who be ray official trusts; with II
sound currency; with education unsec-
tartan and free to all; with simplicity
and frugalty in public and private
affairs; and with traternal spirit of harmo-
ny prevailing the people of all sections and
classes, we may reasonably hope that the
second century Of our existence as nation
will, by the blessing OF God, be pre-eminent
as an era of good feeling and period of
progress, prosperity and happiness. Very

Columbia, The Gem Of HE Ocean)
At ST. Louis the Deems" had n notion
They'd but to make promises free
And amid the exciting commOtion
Their record forgotten would be-
But In vain do their leaders dissemble
About what, II trusted. they'd do.
For we know how the South made them trcmbe
And finch from the Red. White and Blue.
They fiRched from the Red White aud Blue,
Az party" compelled them 70 do;
And the votes Hayes and Wheeler assemble
Shall make them their fincbng renew!
When the war drum resonnded for battle.
Their best they were few faced the storm,
But the Others. like dumb, driven cattle,
Stayed mo .ning at home for reform
And n last, ali the tempe.t forgotten,
Again, az the Sonth bids them do
They deDounce the Republic as rotten,
And mourn for the Red White and Hue.
They mourn for the Red White and Blue.
Which once In their hearts they o'erthrew;
And the votes Hayes and Wheeler begotten
Shall make them their mourning renew!
so the day. boys. the day. boys, remember
When strike we for cause that II Just,
And our ballots Wen cast in November
For men we have tried and can trust
As our party has once saved the Nation,
And shown that It's loyal and true,
IL shall still have the patriot oblation.
And win meath the Red, White and Bluei
Wen win meath the Red White and Blue,
A. always accustomed to do,
And our chiefs, Hayes and Wheeler well station
our White Houses lease to renew!

THIRD QUARTER, 1876.
A Little Every Day.

THE longest life is made up Of SIM
pie days-few or many: but the DAYS
grow into years, and give the measure
of our lives ut last.
The life is at the last what the DAYS
have been. Let the children there
fore look after the days-one day at
time-and put into each one something
that will last-something worth doing,
something worth remembering, some
thing worth initiating by those who
follow us.
/. Every day a little knowledge.
One fact in day. How small thing
is one fact? Only one. Ten years
pass by. Three thousand six hundred
and fifty facts are not a small thing.
2. Every day Il little self-denial. The
thing that is difficult to do to-day will
be an easy thing to do $50 days hence,
if each day it shall have been repeated
What power of self-mastery shall he
enjoy who, looking to God for His
grace, seeks every day to practice the
grace he prays for.
,. Every day little helpfulness
We live for the good of Others, if our
living be in any sense true living. 1t
is not in the great deeds of philan-
thropy that the only blessing is found.
In
Little deeds of kindness"
repeated every day, we find true happi-
ness. At home, at school, in the street,
in the neiohbor's house, on the play
ground-we shall find opportunity ev-
cry day for usefulness.
4. Every day little look into the
Bible. One chapter day. What
treasure Of Bible knowledge one may
acquire in ten years. Every day
verse committed to memory. What
volume in the mind at the end OF
twenty-five years ~. Y. Observer.

STEADFAsTNESS in the Christian life
Is dependent upon aboundlng IN the
work of the Lord" An idle Christian
must he unstable. Young converts
should be taught first of all that they
must be working Christians, and they
should be helped in finding work
adapted to their ability. Look to THIS,
pastors the young men and young
women should be started right-put
into fields of labor. The Sunday
school will use some of them FOR
part OF their religious activity; 1t may
be that special meetings will be needed
to employ their gifts and develop re.
ligious habits. At all events. keep IL

or die, and that his steadfastness VIII
