~, every day matters. We gst some sense
of Him In church, or Ia the prayer

but when we go inio The busy world,
where most Of our life Is spent, God fades

great loss to US. II Is neglect on our part,

OF sympathy. az suificieBcy, for every step

HAYES POLICY.

Corruption Is the natural ally Of fraud.
Mr.. Hayes. holding the Presidency by a
fraudulent title, aud having against him
nearly half the senate with majority OF
the House ~ Representatives elected as
Democrats, is compelled hy the exigencirs
OF his situation TO enleavor TO bribe
enough of the hostile majority in the
house TO give him and his party ms-
jority IN that body, and enough Of the
minority IN the Senste 10 weaken the
opposition there and enable him 70 defy
the spirit of antagonism which isactive
against him among some Of the :iiost
powerful Republican Senators.
The bribery ON which he has to rely Il

Hayes ~ou 4 still be exposed to The

obviate this danger. the second part Of Ills

IL consists IN an lnmeHss scheme OF sub
