Lost Again.

Recently before referees at Esquire
Coles office, a case was tried wherein
DIR. S. l.. West was the plaintiff and
Hanson Harmon. ESQ, the defendant.
Plaintiff, who rented a house from de-
fendant, had some papering done, and
and sued the defendant for the cost of
the work, $14. A referee trial resulted
in favor of the plaintiff for t6, but the
defendent took exceptions and was grant
ed a seco nd hearing, which came off last
evening This time the referees gave a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the
full amount of the claim, S14. The case
will probably be taken to court.

very useful article, and l, who have so
long struggled with poverty, am the last

the two sat smoking in the formers

"Then why did you say that you
were not sure it was a subject for con-
graduation ?" asked Clement
Because fear it may make me sell

"Come, come, Al! That won't do.-
The idea of you, of all men, becoming
an old curmudgeon is preposterous =
Why, you would give away your head if
it was not fastened on securely. And as
for being suspicious, any poor wretch

"Oh! see: you fear the girls will

AND YET.

You would not think her cheeks we're blooming
roses;
No line of pearls her beaming smile discloses;
No delicate perfumes around her hover;
And yet love her.
She rivals not the sun in dazzling brightness
She steps not like the fawn with fairy llghtness;
Her eyes resemble not the stars above her
And yet love her
No waving tresses fall in rich profusion;
No classic form, half hidden by Illusion
No brilliant fancy could e'er discover;
And yet lover her
For she is truly sensible and good;
And all the charms that make true woman
hood,
Unite in her vnd she loves me moreover;
And so love her
Besides that she's my mother.

THE PREYlNG MAN.

"I do not like to hear him pray,
Who loans at twenty-five per cent.
For then think the borrower may
Be pressed too pay for food and rent.
And in that book we all should heed,
Which says the lender shall be blest,
AS sure as have eyes to read,
1t does not say take interest,"
81 do not like to hear him pray,
On bended knees about an hour,
For grace to spend Alright the day,
Who knows his neighbor has no -four

And buy the luckless brother bread,
And see his children eat their fill,
And laugh beneath their humble she'd"

silver as Currency.
A. Fl. ID.

The friends of silver reconciliation in
sist upon the reconciliation Of silver be-
cause of the effects that will be produced
by such action, and principally for reasons
which may be thus stated:
1. II will at once arrest the decline Of prices
in all forms of property, which must continue
so long as there Is a legal threat Of the gene
raj establishment Of gold values year hence,
with gold the exclusive metallic money.
9. That 1t will be q resumption of specie
payments Of itself. without any extraordinary
value being given to gold, rs must be the case
If gold be the only legal tender.
3. The resumption Of specie payments
through the agency of monetized silver will
be in every sense strict compliance with the
debt obligations, public and private, because
silver was as much a legal-tendcr as gold at
the time the debts were incurred.
4. Because there can be no resumption OF
specie payments upon gold basis while with
q silver coinage it will be possible, and will
meet with no objection, legal or popular.
.. 1t will arrest for all time, IL the silver be
coined freely and in large amounts, all further
demands for an increase of greenbacks OF
other national paper.
O. Silver Is an American and Western
product, which Congress has no right to dis
criminate against by forbidding its domestic
use and compelling its expectation.

The Presidential Approval.

Much has been said as to tho probable
action of the President on the silver qucs-
tion if it should reach him in the form of Il
law passed by Congress for his approval or
veto and it has been Stated with good
deal of p0sitiveness that he will not approve
the measure. We now state upon what VIC
regard as high authority that the Executive
will sign the silver bill whenever it shall b,
submitted to him. lie believes it to be Il
measure demanded by the business inter
csts Of the country and majority Of the
people Of the United States, and hence will
cheerlully give it his official sanction. TC
the country ut large We have occasion tc
know this will be most agreeable iniorma.

III the Radical party wants to eight another
national campaign over the question whether
the South shall be part Of the American
Union or Poland to the Russia Of the North
the Democracy will accept the issue, stipulat-
ing only that the war shall be one Of extermi-
nation, for the timo has come when II Is not
humane to show quarter to men who make
rattlesnakes Of themselves and use virus for
political capital"
And III. b." answers "A war of extermina-
tionr Why, nothing would suit the boys better
who wore the blue uniform than the privilege
of annihilating about $500 such vile wretches
as the man who wrote that article" But he
intimates that the rebel who wrote that is a
deep-dyed coward who would get his Southern
brcthern into the fight aud then sneak of TO
Canada and hide behind tho Queens apron"
Our correspondent then proceeds to show that
tho Democratic party doc not authorize the
Post to make such assevcrations in its name
for political purposes. Asa party the Demo-
Gratis seek to disguise before the people Of the
North their sympathy with disloyalty in
every campaign. Now, this organ of that
party proclaims its desire for war of extor-
mination. In 1874 the same party told the
people of the North that the hard times were
chargoable to the Republicans. The Demo-
crtas have been in power In New York city
for twenty years and In Congress during the
last four years, and yet they are not happy,
nor are the times much softcned. If they 20

THE friends Of President HAYES are ask
ing if he can afford to sacrifice his party, his
country, and his friends by continuing the
present financial policy of the Government.
The telegraph every morning tells us of ono
ofthe results of the existing policy by re-
cording the failure of one or more mer-
chant in every city. Manufactures stand-
ing idle with the machinery rusting $
another result. One and quarter million
of men in enforced idleness begging for la
Dor by which they can provide bread for
their wives and children. Five millions OF
women and children suffering with cold and
the pangs of hunger are still other results OF
our financial policy, and yet, like the Egyp'
tian taskmastcr, it asks for a larger tale
of bricks and refuses to furnish the straw.
The Almighty interHrcd to protect his
favored people and delivered them from the
hands of the Egyptians, drowning
their principal oppressors in tn,
Red sea. The days whcr
such personal supervision of tn,
Creator was had, have passed away, but tn
power which most nearly represents tn
power of the Almighty still remains. 1t i
the power of Nee people reused in thci
might. That is slumbering now as the fire
of Vesuvius sometimes slumber, while tn
muttcring which indicates motion is heard
Should that power be reused into actiyit!
by the continued expressions of our inanciN
policy, the drowning of the Egyptians ii
the Red Sea is only typical of the fate whc
awaits those responsible for it and those VIII
are benefited by it, President HAYES can hca
the muttering sounds that come from the pee
pie. He can, by discarding this financial pol
icy.quiet those mutterings. A million of me
will not suffer for bread and see their fam
lilies suffer in land of plenty. A chang
OF policy and legislation must aid them

whelmed the Egyptians in bygOne ages, an
