HTHE CANDIDATE.'


"Father, who travels the road so late?''
"Hush, my child, tits the candidate:
Fit example of human woe
Early he comes and late he goes;
He greets tho woman with courtly grace,
He kisses the baby's dirty face,
He calls to the fence the farmer at work,
He bores the merchant, he bores the clerk,
The blacksmith, while his anvil rings,
he greets, and this is the song he sings:
"Howdy, howdy, howdy do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
All! it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand Of the working man."
Husband, who is that man at that gate7"
"Hush, my love, tits the candidate"
Husband, why can't he work like your"
"Has he nothing at home to do?"
"My dear, whenever man is down,
No cash at home, no credit in town,
Too stupid to preach and too proud to beg.
Too timid to rob and too lazy to dig,
Then over his horse his leg he filings
And to the dear people this song he sings:
"Howdy, howdy, howdy-do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
All it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand ofthe working man."
Brothers, who labor early and late,
Ask these things of the candidate:
What's his record How does he stand
At home? No matter about his hand,
Be it hard or soft. 80 it be not prone
To close over money not his own.
Has he in view no thieving plan?
Is he honest and capable ?-he is our man.
Cheer such an one till the welkin rings,
Join in the chorus when thus he sings:
"Howdy, howdy, howdy-do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
All! it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man"

a9r Yesterday, a strange man, carrying
what appeared to be a small coffin, paused in
front of the oil exchange. He was sad
faced man and his black suit glistened in the
sunlight like an armor. He put down his
strange burden, and bowed to the men stand.
ing around. Then casting his eyes up at the
building, he began, "Gentlemen, congratu'
late you. You have reared here structure
which is second to none in the country. When
you shall have gone to that bourne from
whence no traveller returns" and he glanced
sorrowfully at the little coffin, "this beautiful
building will remain monument to your en-.
ergy and enterprise. But, gentlemen, poor as
I may seem, great as the contrast is between
us, have that in this little box before me, y
and he tapped the coffin reverently with bis
cane, (which I would not exchange for all
the wealth of your oil regions. 1t is, gentle
men," and he began to unscrew the lid, while
the crowd involuntarily shrank back, "it is,
gentlemen, a rat-trap which am introducing
for Mr.. Edison, of Menlo Park" The crowd
closed up again. "It is his latest invention,
and, as he says himself, his best. I have
handled great many rat-traps in my life,
and I can safely say that this one knocks the
socks off all of them. Don't crowd up too
close till I show it to you," and he took of
the top and exposed box with a lot of apart
ments communicating with each other by
little doors windows and openings of one kind
and another. "The great inventor named
this the Citizens savings rat-trap, because ii
operates on the same principle as savings
bank. You see, the rat smells the cheese, and
enters by the front door," and the trap.man
indicated the aperture with his cane; "thence
in quest of the cheese, which is sort of ig'
MS tatuus, through this door, which admits
him to parlor A, or the cashiers room. This
door closes behind him, and he passes thence
to parlor B, or the directors room; this door
closes behind him, az before, and he proceeds
to parlor G, or the presidents private apart
ment. By an ingenious arrangement, the
closing of each little door removes the cheese
into the next room, in this way always keep
ing it one room in advance of the rat that
seeks it-until the last room is reached (par.

IoGIc-"He who would thrive must rise
at fve."
So says the proverb, though there is more
rhyme than reason in it, for if
He who would thrive must rise at FIVE, it
must follow naturally,
He who'd thrive more must rise at four ;
and it will insure consequence that,
He who'd still more thriving be,
Must leave his bed at turn of three;
And who this latter would outdo,
Will rouse him at the stroke Of two.
And by way of climax to it all, it should
be held good that
He who'd never be outdone,
Must ever rise as soon as one.
But the best illustration would be
He who'd flourish best of ALL
Should never 90 to bed at all.

sss- Grapes when ripening evolve carbon
ic acid in the dark or when exposed to light,
in inert gases as we'll as in atmosphere. Ac,
cording to the condition of the atmosphere in
which grapes are kept, they are capable Of
absorbing or of losing moisture. AS the ri.
pening process advances the acids lessen and
the sugar increases. Both the acids and the
glucose are formed in the plant, and are car.
ried off by the sap to the fruit, where the
acids are buried and the sugar concentrated
But when the ripening process is far ad'
vanced the sugar is also burned.
