What Woman Makes Him.


What Woman Makes Him.
How cheering is the simple phrase!
How well lis kindly atlmoniion
tn woran's listening cars conveys
The knowledge OF her glorious mi,.ion!
She may no, mingle with The ihrong,
When man to busy life bciake5 him,
Yet she NAV prove his shield fran wrong.
"A man Il wla. q woman makes him.
In chilGhood's Gays Of grief and joy
She r. IS his ductile mind-no other
Can soo.he and guide The waywarl boy
VIII, the calm wisdom Of m;,hcr.
The rne.n5ry Of her tender cares
Never in af;cr lire fcrsakcs him;
He yields not 70 The worlds vain snare
The son is ,Slla. The mother makes him.
Anon dear a-I cherished wife
Takes in his home her honorcl station;
Sic pr, yes, amid The ills of life,
His help, support aad consolation.
lie yields, rcrrharce, to dire distress
Her loving smile TO hore awakes him;
He braves ;he storm-he meets s'iocess--
4 man Is what a woman makes him.
Ye: TO my warning lay attend
urge you, sisters, wives apd mothers,
Your own weak fDllies to amend,
Ere you can prove stay to others;
ehould You he selfish, worldly vain.
Say, how can man when griefO 'ersakcs hin
Aid from heartless trifer gain?
A man Is what q woman makes him.
Seek ye to serve the Lord, and pray
That he may give yen wise direction
How best to win to duty's way
The object Of your fond affection.
What if awhile he quit the track
Your influence never quite forsakes him;
Your love, your prayer will bring him back
A man is wha. woman makes him.

Habit.
Habit al first is but a silken TIN cad,
Fine the ligh:-wingea gossamcrs that sway
In the warm sunbeam5 Of a summers day;
A shallow s:rca;nlct, rippling o'cr its bed;
Tiny saping. ere lis roots are spread;
A yet unliariened thorn upon the spray;
lions wheip that hath not scented prey;
A little smiling child otetlient led.
Beware! that thread may bind thee as chain;
That s!reamle: gather to a fatal sea;
That sapling spread into gnar,ed Tree;
That thorn, grown hard, may wouad and give
thee IaiI;
That playful whe!p lis mur.lerous fangs reveal
That child, giant, crush thee meath his hec,

wHERE THE ECONoMY COMES IN.

A "Laboriag Taxpayer" in = com.
municstiOn to the Appeal of this morn
ing, calls attention to certain facts which
many of Mayor Flippin's supporters
persistently ignore or deny. he says:
The sixty.6fth section of the city char
ter provides that each and every member
of the general council voting for q con-
tract for any item Of expense, without
FIRST ap~propriating a sufficient amount of
the general tax to pay the same, shall be
Individually liable. And section sixty
eve of the charter provides that all
parties contracting with municipal cor
porations shall not, by reason of their
contracts, acquire any general claim
against the corporation or city, but shall
look solely to the sum set apart specially
for the payment Of their claim" Under
these sections it was not in the power of
the Flippin administration to make con-
tracts beyond the annual levies for geu-
eral purposes and recsipts on that ac-
count from back taxes. This amount
be has already expended, as is shown
by his empty treasury and starving
police. Hence be was powerless to make
extravagant expenditures, and deserves
no special credit for not doing what it
was impossible for him To do. Yet his
innocent followers boldly declare, in the
face of these statutes, that they oppose
Mr.. johnson because he is a high.tax
man; be may be, but it is manifest that
he can't get higher than the present
model administration has gone. Will
any Of his friends inform the public in
what his economy consists2 Does it lay
in the fact that be favored the reduction
Of all salaries except his own Or in
serving the city by proxy, with a salary
to the proxy and another to himself for
the same periodP The proxy, at least,
should applaud this act, and press his
re election. Will any one be kind
enough to give me a single instance
where he has stopped short OF legislative
checks, either in his levies or expendi-
lures? What more could Mr.. johnson
do2 In view of these facts, Judge Flip
pins expectant appointees should cease
their clap-trap fraud touching his alleged
reduction of expenditures. At an early
day | will expose the helloWness of bis
%pretensions in respect to the compromise
measures.
