THE POLITICIANS.

One of the results of the late strikes

with their whereases, resolutions and
platforms. The interests OF the labor

after, and great things generally are 10

will be ''great cry and little wool, as
Satan said when he sheared the pig
The working man, as well as "any 9th
er man" had as well keep Ills eyes open
and look out for breakers. Tie recent
troubles have been perfect god-senG
10 the political patriots, and every one
of them will have q panacea and cure
all for the hard times. 1t will be just
10 steer clear of the whole tribe of party
hacks; and now is a good time to begin
the good work of filling official places
with better class of people. 1t would
be infinitely better for the country II
less attention were paid to mere politics,
Let the people look more to the homes
,y and capacity of their public servants
than they have hitherto done and they
will find the change will possibly be
largely to their advantage.

NV saOTHEH's VOICE.
[ often think there is q link,

often think there is link,
Tween this world and the other,
And seem to hear afar and near,
A tone, Death could not smother:
That comes to me from DER that sea,
Where saints in bliss rejoice;
The sweetest sound my heart has found,
Nv own dear mothers voice.
In dreams of bliss feel her kiss,
Her hand upon nay head,
And see her there so pure and fair,
Beside my lonely bed;
Flushed is her cheek if she should speak
In accents low and mild,
While from above with deathless love,
She looks on me, her child.
In midday, sheen or night serene,
Or mornings mellow glow,
By lamps dim flame tits e'er the same,
hear its music flow;
And seem to feel Time cannot heal
That tic, so early broken,
But brings again in grief and pain,
The words fond love has spoken.
l do not know, it may be so,
That in my hearts deep cells,
This long loved tone remained alone,
Axd there, in sweetness dwells;
And thence, at will, when all is 3tiii,
1t comes, living whole,
And in my dreams and angel seems,
That whispers to my soul.
In wilds unknown, on mountain cone,
Or ocean deep and dread,
Or desert plain mid storm and rain,
I've on its music fed;
And here, at home, 10 more to -oam,
Itmakes my heart rejoice,
The sweetest sound it ever found,
My own dear mothers voice.

seems to you as if you never would.
But your temptation will come, and 1t
probably will come in this way:
You will find yourself, sometime,
with a number OF companions, and they
will have bottle of wine on the table.
They will drink, and offer it to you,
They will regard it as manly practice,
and, very likely, they will look upon
you as milksop you don't indulge
with them. Then what will you do!
What will you do? Will you say, Boys,
none of that stuff for me! | know a
trick worth half-a-dozed of that?' Or
will you take the glass with your own
common sense protesting, and your
conscience making the whole draught
bitter, and feeling that you have
damaged yourself, and then go off with
a hot head and Stalking soul that at
once begins to make apologies for itself
just as the soul OF Colonel Backus
does, and will keep doing during all his
life?

consult with you, and want to know
how her health is. We're going to be
married. Is her chist all right"
The doctor sounded the chest Of the
blushing young lady, and pronounced
that her lungs were quite sound.
"All right in the chist," remarked
the lover, who had been locking on
with the air of connoisseur. "How's
her head!"
The doctor said that unless there was
insanity in the family her head was
doubtless clear.
"Ask her some questions" demanded
the practical sweetheart.
The doctor asked her about head
aches, and found the answer satisfac-
tory.
"All right in the headl" remarked the
Assistant Inspector General, and then
taking the doctor off in corner: GLOW
bout her back? She's got to work EN-
help out on the farm.
The doctor said that the lady's gen
eral health was good, and there was
hardly any use of further inquiry.
"Ask her some questions" said the
groom.
The doctor said there was no use of
questions, and that he might safely rest
assured that the lady's back was unques-
tionably good.
The groom seemed satisfied and
more cheerful, and went on to tell the
doctor that they were from Amherst,
near the Nelson line, and had come
ffty-one miles since tho day before,
both on one horse. They were to be
married next day. They then mounted
the horse and departed.
