by means of weigher or by pressing

MANS works from sun to sun;
But woman's work is never done"

"Man's works from sun to sun:
But woman's work is never DONE"
OLD PRovERB.
There is a man who lived in the woods,
And this you may plainly see;
For he said he could do more work i'm a
day
Than his wife could do in three.
$50 be it," the good wife said,
'But this you must allow
That you will work at home to-day,
And I'll go follow the pillow.
You must milk the pretty brown cow.
For fear she might go dry;
And you must feed the little fat pig,
That lives in yonder sly.
you must watch the speckled hen,
Or she may lay astray;
And you must wind the bobbin of thread
That l spun yesterday"
Then the woman took the staff In hand.
And went to follow the pillow;
Her husband took the shining pail,
And went to milk the COW.
Tiny she hinched, and Tiny she flinched,
And Tiny she stuck up her nose,
Then gave the old man such a kick in
the face
That the blood ran down TO his toes !
$50, Tiny! Iio. Tiny
My pretty brown COW stand still,
If ever l try to milk you again,
Twill be against my will p
He went to feed the little Fat pig
That lived in "yonder sty,"
And struck his head upon a beam,
Which caused his brain to fly.
He could not watch the speckled hen,
And so she lay astray;
He forgot to wind tho bobbin of thread
His wife spun yesterday.
The dinner to get, the table to set,
The beds to make up smooth,
lhe mouse 10 sweep, the:bread TO knead,
TOO much for him in TRUTH
Dried apples to string, a patch to set on,
These sue said nothing about.
Enough for week" in despair thought
John,
And he was no lazy lout.
The windows to wash the stove to make
bright,
The beans to put baking for Sunday
And all to be done before it comes night
Too much for one day only"
So Jonathan saw. by the light of the moon
And the green leaves on the tree,
That his wife could do more work in day
Than he could do in three!

THE FLORD4 FRA IDS.

s'JUsTICE travels with leaden heel. but
strikes with an iron hand" said Jere
Black in his eloquent outburst of invec-
tive when he saw that the electoral COM
mission were determined to proceed in
the canvass of electoral votes in defiance
of right. The events of the last week
have verified his prediction. The tagging
steps of Justice have now overtaken the
conspirators, bearing proofs of fraud
which must carry conviction to the most
prejudiced and fear to the guilty. The
indignation that smouldered has been
revived by these late revelations and will
not be aliayed by the feeble remonstran-
ces of those who were active in perpe
trating the greatest fraud that ever dis
graced the annals OF country. To
quietly submit to a wrong SO palpable
and outrageous is as much as the phil
osophy of man will allow. To forget
the means by which the wrong was i'm
posed presumes state of mental imbe-
cility or criminal Indifference to those
disastrous results to which certain events
certainly lead, against which the spirit of
manhood must file an indignant protest.
Those deeds which shock the moral
sense of the people are not now exposed
for the first time. The outraged people
of Florida appealed to every tribunal
which the land afforded to have those
enormous wrongs righted. Remons-
trance and appeal followed from the vot-
ing precinct to the county canvassers, to
the state canvassers, to the halls Of Con-
gress, to that colossal fraud to which hope
turned with such fond imaginings only
to receive fresh disappointment and in
creased disgust-the electoral commits
sion. Evidence struggled to be admitted,
petitioned, threatened, implored to be
heard. The whole country was ringing
with it, it sought every avenue to reach
those whose duty it was to take cogni-
zance of it,it thrilled the country with it's
appeals, but all its efforts were vain.
The judges whose honorable profession
should be guarantee of their integrity
hedged themselves with a Chinese wall
from the facts and gave a decision in
violation of every principle of justice.
The confession of the wretches employ
ed by prominent republicans to falsify
the vote of the state of Florida is but
cumulative evidence of a fact whose
truth every person of unbiased judgment
was morally convinced.
Every person whose love of justice is
not perverted by partisan bias must re-
ioice that retribution is overtaking those
whose deeds are dark spot on the fair
record of our nations history. The sue
cess of party is poor recompense for
the wounding of nations honor. The
republican party has welded itself suf-
feinntly to infamy by ipstigating fraud
to secure the induction to the presidency
| OF its candidate. 1t will be unwise for
republicans now to throw obstacles in
the way of the investigation of those po-
litical crimes which call at least for the
punishment of being revealed. By hav-
ing those crimes officially denounced the
seal of disapprobation will be placed on
their repetition in the future. The good
fame of the country requires this, the

MRS. H4 YES At THE Ma IYNEE.

A Post reporter "took in the matinee
Saturday afternoon at the National in
company with his two country cousins,
strict Methodist girls, who had never
before seen the inside of theater. A
side from the bewilderment and amaze
ment at the novel surroundings and gen.
uine pleasure afforded by that sparkling
opera, ''The Chimes of Normandy" the
girls were more than overjoyed when
their untutored optics were directed to
the many celebrities in the audience, of
whom they had heard and read, includ-
ing the better half of the present Admin
istration, who occupied a stage box,
while overhead in the upper crib the
good natured pagan Prince, Bob Inger-
soil, reclined in conscious dignity. At
the conclusion of the opera, after run
ming the gauntlet of loafers and incipient
moustached young imbeciles vino hang
about the theatre entrance, we were
about to move On with our cortege when
Mrs. r. b. FL. swept by, was helped into
a carriage and driven away. Our country
cousins stopped short and held their in
dividual breath. 1t was the nearest they
had ever approached regular power, and
it almost occasioled paralysis.
''Did you ever?" said Jane.
'No never" said Mary. 'It's her,
sure enough, for l know her by the pic

"Why, l thought she was religious. "

had been Methodist one, and that
going to the theaters or getting hilarious
at times was not allowed to count.
