The Workman's Wife.

My loving bride no jewels hath
Save one plain ring she wears,
Few roses strew her daily path
OF humble household cares;
To deck her head with gorgeous plumes
No bird Of beauty mourns,
No wondrous weft Of cunning looms
Her graceful form adorns;
But she's the bright breast jewel Of
My busy, toiling life,
Whose wish is Lut to live and love
Ashelpmeet and as wife.
White is her gown at morn-a fair,
Soft robe at evenings hour,
And, if aught she wear in her dark hair,
'Tis simple wildwood flower;
But, oh the kiss that bids me forth,
Light-hearted, to my work,
Surpasseth all the flowers Of earth
That in the greenwood lurk,
And the glance that lights me home at last,
IA When the days long task is through,
& Is sweeter then is sunward cast
From violets dashed with dew.
From her soft arms our baby spreads
It's chubby hands, and crowss
The glancing freight round their heads
It's sanity halo throws;
And sometimes, when see them so,
Or in The doorway stand,
Touched by the sunsets rosy glow,
With peace on every hand,
My thoughts revert, with reyerent love,
Unto the picture mild
That Raphael wrought so purely Of
p q Madonna and her child.
Few are the hours We snatch from toll,
Bread-winners in the strife
We've little Of the.corn and oil,
And an the cares Of life;
Yet whiffs we have of country air
Sometimes on afternoons
With the birds and flowers, in park and square,
That arc such grateful boons;
And we envy not the rich and proud,
Whose teams and coaches gay
We yet may watch, and swell the crowd
THAT lines their flashing way.
And, best Of all, we never mope
Apart in grief-alone;
When heart to heart speaks comfort, hope
Meier quite deserts her throne.
Hard times upon us often press,
Wr'ye bread, and little more,
but hatever cup Of bitterness
May be for me in store,
IknoS my wife will drain her part, p.
Though it mantles dark and high,
o And know the love that brims her heart
Will never, never die!

IL il All in Vain.

What is the object of all this iunkcting on
the part Of HAYES and his Cabinet? If
HAYES were going about delivering speeches
IN defence Of hi~ title To the office Of Prcsi-
dent. or in explanation Of his policy. or to
appcasc The Republican par,y-if he were
looking into the civil service quackery, or
inspecting the forts or paying attention to
any branch OF the public busincs,-hc might
have some excuse for flying hithcr and
thither. But neither hc himself, nor any OF
the members Of his Cabinet who have ac-
companicd him. has said or done anything,
10 justify their leaving Washington again
and again.
HAYES and his Cabinet have visited Phila-
dclphia. They came here 81 this city under
the prcteVt Of attending the Chamber OF
Commerce dinner Tnry have been to l}os-
ton, and AZ Cambridge he was made an
LID. They have been 10 Providence,
and they got clans at Rocky Point They
have plans 10 20 to the South, and to the
West and Co tine Pacific coast, and to come
again To this city next fall.
HAYES is in pursuit of recognition. That
j. his object in all this travelling. He
knows he is a Fraudulent President, but he
thinks that If lc can yct Idle crowds to come
cut and look at him; and if he can get re-
ccption-. and If he can got Invitations -
dinners: and il he can got people to shake
hands with him. hc will grow less obnoxious
In course Of time. lie and his Cal met are
mistaken. Tie brand OF fraud cannot thus

We print elsewhere in to-day's SUN the
full report of most interesting intcrviev
with the Hon. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS. al
the old homestead in Quincy, Mass, on
Saturday last Mr.. ADAMS adhcrcs stanchly
to the view which he deliberately expressed
IN his letter to Mr.. 1ILDEN of tho great
wrong 10y which the present tenant of the
White House was placed there. The to-do
which has been made over Mr.. HAYES in
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Harvard's
bestowal Of literary hOnors, the sycophantic
and adulaturv addresses of welcome with
which he was received: neither one nor all
OF these serve with Mr.. ADAMS to throw Il
glamour over the illegal and unconstitu-
tional methods by which lac was elevated to
his high Office. " Ont fact, says Mr. ADAMS
"siands oa prominent nothing can Ore-
shddor il; and that is The method Jy ,rhich he
reccircd his o6icc No policy Of his can atone
for hdt"
If it can be said of any man that he is an
hereditary statesman, it may he said Of Mr.
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS. Certainly by
education, by early training, by long expo
ricncc, he has been singularly qualified for
netting an important part in public affairs

the German Legislature as to mako veri-
table revolution on the part Of Socialists an
impossbility. LAssALLE for instance, asked
for universal suffrage; n few years later it
was introduced-long before the great mass
Of laborcrs knew what it meant. IL asked
for free labor, and labor was soon SO free that
almost all the small work shops disappeared,
being unable to compete with the larger
ones. lie demanded that the State should
specially help the workingman, and the
latter has been provided for so well that he
has hardly anything to do but To sell his
labor as dearly as possible. The act Of June
/, 1870, compcls every stat" TO confer full citi-
zenship including eligibility TO Office as well
as the right of suffrage, under conditions the
most liberal. and the same act makes state
citizenship identical with citizenship Of the
empire. No man can lose the exercise of Il
citizens rights by a change of residence, for
he is legally domclcd at the place where
he happens to be present. Hence the
mechanics Of Germany and all other classes
liable to move from place To place retain
more political power than they do in the
United States. Again the act Of June 7,
1871, makes the owners Of railways, fac
lpIl'S, anu HllIcS If~IbllSlUlc loT n pTtut
many injuries to their employees and Gus
TONER'S for which they are not made ac-
cOuntabc in this country. Another act
shields mortgages to large extent against
foreclosure, and still another protects all
wages against attachment, unless actually
earned and not called for at the regular day
Of payment. And finally the act OF June u,
1869, regulates all mechanical trades aud
professions, always with particular kind
ness to the poor, the ignorant, and the
struggling.
In Il word, the only thing demanded by
LAssALLE, and yet left undonc by the State
Is the supply of capital TO the workingman.
Now, the statistics of the property distribu
tion OF Germany show that the greater part
Of the aggregate wealth is held. not as in
England by minority, but by majority Of
the voters under the present scheme of uni
vcrsal suffrage A communistic readjust-
mcnt of property could not. therefore, be
carried 10y Il popular vote; but, leaving such
"A measure out Of the question, we cannot
survey without establishment the scope and
nature Of the reforms elected from the CEN

accomplished for the workingman AT home

TUPPER HOLLAND rcpr snts in literature
Another interesting fact in regard to this
bold manifesto is that ii marks the first APP
pcarancc Of Tuppcrism as an active factor
in politics. Hitherto Tupperian thinkers lave
concerned themselves rather with the gem
tie virtues Of social life, the mild amenities
of culture" and the broad truths Of thco-
rctical morality, than with the passions and
strife Of partisanship. 1t seems, however,
that the disciples of TUrrER have held aloof
from politics simply for the want of Il leader.
They have never before had Tuppcran
President TO stand by.
The marplots and irrcconcilablcs who OPP
pose the Tuppcrian policy of the Tuppcrian
President cannot complain that they have
not had ample warning of what will happen
to them if they do not dcsist The Tuppcr-
an admirers Of HAYES propose to fight and
politically kill every man" of them. At first
thought it may seem that this bloodthirsty
threat Is sharply at variance with the
mldne-s which usually characterizcs the
dcmcanor and language of Mr. TUp-
rErs following. But it will he rcmcm-
bercd that even the moist-cycd bard
of Albury himself has announced that,
although habitually as peaceful as the
dove, his wrath can, under favorable
circumstances, become lconinc In majcs-
~, and that he fears not to smitc his enc
mics when Lee is sufficiently aroused. 1t will
hardly bc safe for the marplots and irrecon-
cilabes to take refuge in the dclusion that

The Tuppcrian Element IN Politics j.
with Hayes.

Before the poet TUPPIR left this country
he expressed on several occasions his un-
qualified admiration for the moral and intel
loctual character Of Mr. HAYES. 1t is
natural and proper that TUpPER should
admire HAYES, justas ii is proper and natural
that HAYES should read and admire UPPER.
HAYr,'s habits of thought arc essentially
Iuppcran. His speeches, whenever ne ven
lures upon subjects more speculative than
his family genculogy or "reminiscences of
the BURcHARD branch read like prose para
phrases of TUpPERs immortal thoughts
There Is a mental bond Of union between
the two men which makes their mutual adj
miratiun Il matter Of course, Therefore it
is not at all surprising that Dr. UPPER
HOLLAND Of this city, who is the leading
apostle of Iuppcrsm in America, aud who is
quick to catch the philosophical significance
Of his great guides likes and dislikcs,
should put forth a manifesto promising to
Mr. HAYES the cordial support OF the Tup-
pcrian element, and threatening terrible
aud by no means vague vengeance on every
body who does not support HAYES and his
policy.
Here is the full text Of TUTPER HOLLANDS
proclamation, just published in lScribper's
