not SO, but better this even than that Con-
gress and the country should be diverted
from the line of dHty by ravenous crowd of
place hunters and sensationalists who care
more for their own personal gain by means shs
most violent and lawless than for the welfare,
quiet, and perpetuity of this great country. One
days resort to violence and anarchy would be
worse for the people, and bring greater
reproaeh to our civilization and our blood
sanctifed institutions in the esteem OF all
good men, irrespective of party, than four
years of administration headed by either Hayes
or Nlden. We can stand and the country can
live, and, as hope, prosper under either. It
cannot and must not be drawn to an ordeal
which all law abiding citizens would deprecate,
and to arrest which they must, and know
will, stand together
In conclusion he spoke of the people OF
Iowa, and said they would submit to no COM
promise with wrong, but they would sacrifice
feeling, hopes, treasures, and all for the right.

THE LITTLE EULAS.
The High. High swing.

Now listen while I tell you a very funny thing,
That once Detell little boy who had splendid
swing
dreadful. dreadful little boy, who dearly loved a
riot
and hated nothing on the earth 80 much as sitting
quiet.
The swing of which I'm speaking hung between
two high old trees,
And this boy, whose name was Harry--a naughty
Had very tall, strong brother, who used to swing
him high,
Up up, and up, and higher up, till he seemed to
touch the sky.
And yet that dreadful Harry was never quite con-
tent,
Although his brother swung him till his very breath
was spent;
1t was always "Oh, please send me just little,
little higher,
long so much to the sky little, little higher
Now guess who looked and listened one wintry af-
ternoOn,
And chuckled to himself and grinned? The Old
Man of the Moon!
Daylight had almost darkened the stars were pass
ing through the trees,
And all but very naughty boys had gone home to
their teas.
wild wind swept the garden walks, the withered
leaves whirled by,
The branches Of the old trees creaied and, though
they scarce knew why,
The boys both felt little queer and stared up at
the moon,
And wished the blessed daylight had not died away
80 soon.
''Just one swing more, then Wen run home!" our
rascal Harry cried,
lone high, high swing!" With all his might his
big, strong brother tried
To send him up, and up, and up, far as the sailing
clouds,
While the little twinkling stars came out and stared
at him i'll crowds
The Old Man in the Moon stopped down and gripped
him by the hair,
And caught him up out of his swing and whirled
HIM through the air
Crying, "Now 1 hope you're high enough, you
plaguey little boy!
And life among the lnoon-folk queer, hope you
may enjoy"
Poor Harrys heart went pit-a-pat his brain was in
whirl
He almost cried-indeed he did !--just like baby
girl;
He begged the Moon Man to let go, and promised
nevermore
To be caught so high up in the air when he'd no
right to soar.
[" At last then you are high enough ?" the teasing
Old Man said.
"0h quite, quite, quite!" poor Harry cried
please let me home to bed;
My head is running round and round, don't feel
well at all !"
Ere he could say another word the Moon Man let
him fall.
Down, down, and down, and further down, the
trembling Harry fell.
But oh how glad am to say, no accident befell
He got to earth quite safe and sound, and scam
pered home like mad,
sow1ng that meier again he'd be wild little lad
Then youngsters all, both great and small, this
tabled tale who read,
beg that to it's warning you will every one take
heed;
Enough's as good as FEAST" be sure, in every
kind of fun
And now, good-by-Tll say no more-my funny
storys done.

Is Your Note Good?

A Boston lawyer was called on, short
time ago, by a boy, who inquired if he
had any waste paper to sell. The law
yer had crisp, keen way of asking
questions, and is, moreover, a methodi-
cal man. So, pulling out large draw
er, he exhibited his stock of waste
paper.
"Will you give me two shillings for
that?"
The by looked at the paper doubt
ingly a moment, and offered Is pence.
"Done," said the lawyer, and the
paper was quickly transferred to the bag
OF the boy. whose eyes sparkled as be
Lifted the weighty mass.
Not till it was safely slowed away
did he announce that he had no money
"No money? How do you expect to
buy paper without money!"
Not prepared to state exactly his plan
Of operations, the boy made no reply.
edo you consider your note good p
asked the lawyer.
Eyes, sir.
every well; if you say your notes
good, I'd just as soon have it as the
money; but if it isn't good T don't want
it."
The boy affirmed that he considered
it good; whereupon the lawyer wrote 6
note for fifteen pence, which the boy
signed legibly, and, lifting the bag Of
papers, trudged off.
Soon after dinner the little fellow re-
appeared, and, producing the money,
announced that he had come to pay his
note.
Well, said the lawyer, this is the
first time I ever knew note to be taken
up the day it was given. A boy tina,
will do that is entitled to note and money
too;" and giving him both sent him or
his way with smiling face and happy
heart.
The boys note represented his honor.
A boy who can keep his honor bright
however poor he may be in worldly
things, is an heir to an inheritance
which no riches can buy-the choice
promises Of God.

and make it fast to the boot by three OF
four pegs up and down the middle.
Now comes the sharp trimming knife to
fit the tap to your boot. Strap the edge
often so as to keep it keen, and work
carefully.
After you have fitted, you are ready to
peg it on. Your shoe pegs must all be
kept separate in little cloth bags or
boxes, and you will judge which kind is
needed by measuring at the edge of the
sole. You must select the awl by the
size of the peg you wish to drive. And
you need not feel discouraged if you find
il awkward work. To drive shoe-peg
smooth requires some little practice, but
you will get it after awhile. It is q good
plan to mark around the edge of the tap,
say one-eighth of an inch from the edge.
and then peg on the line, keeping the
broad side of the awl toward you. After
you have drawn the line around, first tack
it about with pegs on the line SO as to keep
the tap in it's place. If the awl sticks,
punch it into cake Of beeswax. You
must slant your awl well inward or the
pegs will drive out SO as to show. After
you have done, take your pocket-knife
and trim off the pegs you have broken
down SO as to make your work look
smooth. The edge will need more trim
ming, and, if you don't get it smooth,
take bit of glass and scrape it. Shoe
makers have tools for all these things,
but you must learn to get along with
out. Now put on the edge blacking,
and after it has dried rub on the heel
ball and rub lightly with WOODEN cloth,
and you have good polished edge.
But the heels need fixing; no doubt
they are run over at the side. And let
me say to you here that if you can in
vent some simple thing that will prevent
boot and shoe heels from " running
over, the great mass of people will
shower thanks on your head. The shoe
makers use what they call ''steel slugs."
They are very hard and brittle. Care
will be needed in driving them. You
will do well to make the holes with a
very large awI.
Well, let us say you have finished your
job. 1t don't look very well, but remem-
Der it is your first effort; you have made
some mistakes, but will do better next
time, and when you go to the shoe-shop
you will learn many little things and go
home and put them into practice. IF
you like such things it is far better to do
it yourself than to go distance to a
shoemaker and perhaps be obliged to 90
after them two or three times before they
are done. 1t would be well for you to try
an old pair first that you will need next
summer. I have said nothing about sew
ing, for it requires much more practice.
You need have no fears Of iniuring
your shoemaker; he had rather make
new work than to repair old. But when
you need new pair give him a job, for
while he is working his family are con

How the Woman Hatched Eggs.

A Hyde Park woman prides herself
on the feat of having Matched five chick

upon the eggs in the usual manner some

the eggs in her bosom, where in

chicks were Matched. We learn that the
birds are doing well, as is also the wo-

MATIN SONG,
I let the dearest dream depart
That night to love revealed,
Some eager spirit in my heart
My sleeping eyes unsealed.
Yet still twas love that led me hera
And bids my feet delay.

Look forth and bring the day.
And out of darkness yonder star
Of whitest ray is born,

The coming of the N orn,
SO thou hast dawn'd, and now art neaT
To brighten and to stay;

STARVING OUT THE FISHES.

OF recent years there has been a marked
scarcity of fish in Cape May waters, and
this has given rise to no little discussion
and endless conjecture as to the cause A
resident of the island who has given the
matter considerable attention explains the
departure of the fish as being contemporane-
GUS with the gradual dissp spearance of the
king Grad. Upon the spawn of the crab
which formerly lined the beeches in i'm
mense quantities, the fish preyed during
their yearly visits. In time the odoriferous
king crab was found to be valuable as fer.
tilizer, and the establishment of mills along
shore created demand which before lonp
cleaned out the natural supply. Since then
the supply of fish has been reduced almost
to nothing, so that it has become subject
of consideration as to whether something
ought not to be done to prevent the further
destruction of the oeaginous king crab.
