Duty TO Parents.

Be kind to your parents or grand
parents; care for them tenderly, low
ingly, watchfully. Age has taken from
them vitality which gives buoyancy to
youth. Mayhap they have drank
deeply Of life's cup of sorrow-with
aching, heavy, and we'll nigh broken
hearts. may see hopes and joys fade
away before their eyes-endured much
for the sake of others-and now that
life is fading, they need care and sup
port far more than the younger ones.
Let US humor their whims, their child.
ishness, their seeming peevishuess. Let
kind words and acts cheer them and
make life's pathway more pleasant for
the tottering feet. Make a warm corner
in every heart for the aged. Remem-
ber that death bed scene is not far
distant, and you should have no dark
spot on memorys page. The parting
blessing of old age is like the very dew
Of heaven. Earn it by kind actions.

4 Soldiers Terrible Adventurer.

The proverb that "misfortune makes
strange comrades" has seldom been
more aptly illustrated than by the adj
venture Of ar English soldier in India,
who, having been caught in anything
but sober condition by his colonel. a
rigid disciplinarian, was sent to pass
night in "chokey" (the lock-up). As
the culprit, sleepless from heat and
mosquitoes, was meditating dolefully
upon the further punishment that was
certain to await him next morning, he
suddenly heard rustling close beside
him, and felt the cold, Shiny touch of a
snake upon his bare foot. Being man
of iron nerve, he contrived to restrain
the cry that rose to his lirs, and to lie
motionless as log whilst his horrible
bedfellow, whom he instantly felt to be
of great size. crawlcd to and fro over
his body and face, as if. to make out
who or what he light be. Having at
length satisfied itself that nothing was
to be feared from him, it glided off and
ensconced itself under the roll of mating
which served him as bed. With the
first gleam of daylight The prisoner was
astir, and having armed himself with a
heavy stone, raised the mating just
sufficiently to let his unbidden guest
thrust out its head, which he then
crushed to pieces with the stone. At
that moment the door opened, and in
came the junior lieutenant, who, having
kindness for the delinquent, had come
to "give him a good talking to-" But
the moment the ofhcers's eyes fell upon
the dead snake he rushed out again like
one possessed, returning few minutes
later with the colonel and several other
officers. The old martinet having heard
the story, said with grim chuckle,
"This is lucky Job for you, my man,
for I meant to have given you a good
Aogging; but I can't fog man who
has done such feat as that. Don't let
me catch you drunk again, and here are
FIVE rupees for you" (s2 SOY.

Labor and CAPITAL.

Here is printing Office. One man in
the Office is always busy at work dur
ing the day-always industrious. In
the evening he goes courting good
nice girl. There are FIVE other men in
the Office who don't do any such thing.
They spend halftheir evenings in dis
sipation. This first young man by and
by puts out from the others and gets q
printing Office Of his OVID. Then he
marries this girl. Soon he is able to
take his wife out to ride Of an evening.
The FIVE others, his former companions,
who see him indulging in this little
luxury, retire to neighboring saloon
and pass a resolution that there is an
eternal struggle between labor and cap,

WHAT I LIVE FOR

live for those who love me.
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too;
For all human ties that bind me;
For the task my God assigned{me;
For the bright hopes left behind me.
And the good that I can do.
l live to learn their story,
Who'vc suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake.
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The noble of all ages,
Whose deeds crown Ristory's pages,
And Times great history make.
l live TO hold communion
Withtali tEat;s divine;
To, feel that there is union
TwixtsNatlre's heart and mine,
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from fields OF fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfill each grand design.
l live to hail that season,
By gifted minds foretold,
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold.
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me,
For those who know me true;
For the heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit, too.
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that 1 can do.

The HERALD is taken to task by n
writer in the Cleburne Chronicle because
it held that the government should
come to the rescue of the peo-
pie by distributing the payment
of the national debt over several
generations. The writer does not object
to it as II measure OF relief
but denounces it as being anti~demo.
cratic, A halt century ago class of pos
litical economists contended that the
government should do nothing whatev.
or to benefit the people. 1t should
simply collect taxes maintain the army
and navy and keep up the courts. II
there was any punishment to be inillct>
ed, or any funds to be raised for some
work of military necessity, the goven.
ment could act in the premises but 1t
was illegitimate in the government to
do anything for the actual benefit of the
people that maintained it, That is not
the true democratic doctrine In res
public the government is simply corS
poration Of the whole people. 1t is as
much the business of the government to
do all in It's power for the benefit of the
present generation rs it is for her to
war against foreign and domestic foes
for the benefit of future generations.

THERE is doubtless wish on the part
OF able and influential men in both par>
ties to unseat Hayes, but the majority
OF the politicians who keep up the dis
quieting agitation have not the rem otest
idea that it will be attempted. The
Camerons, Conkling, Blaine and smaller
republicans in congress despise him, but
these men would be among the most
strenuous opponents of reopening of
the presidential issue. A class of able
democrats, represented by Judge Black
and Montgomery Blair, regard him as
fraud, pure and simple, contending that
he got his Office by series of unques
tionable frauds, and that to permit him
to hold it is to acquiesce in fraud But
the majority of democrats in congress
and out OF it, while admitting the prem
ises OF Messrs. Black and Blair, demur
at their conclusion, and believe that
the interests of the country require &C,
quiescence in the status quo. Mr., Hew,

doubtless expressed the convictions of
the vast majority of democrats, in and
out of congress- The democrats have
no faith in Hayes. and look with utter
