There was nice lemonade and cake in
abundance during the evening--enough
for all. A pleasing feature of the ex-

ladies in attendance, whose presence is
so indispensable to add TO the enjoyment

COURTESY TO EACH OTHER.

The lives we live are fraught with toll
from whlch we would not, If we could, recOil;
ana though we scarcely make our papers pay,
We labor on, through each returning day,
Through winters piercing cold and summers
heat,
Scarce knowing how our pressing wants to
And tho the world to us may seem all drear,
cheer.
And If to any we should send bill,
We do 1t at the risk of his good will
Election comes around, the field we view,
And act and write to our convictions true;
Some candidate, in duty bound oppose,
And step on his and his supporters toes
With equal candOr, we some one sustain.
And straightway it is charged, he works for
The press too often joins in the refrain
Ana heraids forth the charge, with SANDER
fraught,
That such paper has been sold and bought;
How muchsoever he his honor priced
It's said the editor is subsidized.
The outside world hear eagerly the tale
And to repeat it are not prone to fail
NY brothers of the press, why is it thus?
Impugning motives is not best for u.s.
Better for us to take brothers part
IMAM publish rumors, wheresOe'er they start
we dlner honestly, and it is right
10 advocate our side with all our might.
But let us not on character reflect
But treat each others views with due respect
denomination only ire provOkes,
AND editors get mad, like other folks
we all have erred; if search were made around
Some luckless error might of each be found
Then, while we fight our battles with q will
Let us be courteous to each other still
Inscribing on our hearts, in letters bright.
These golden words another deigned to write:
Here shall the press the peoples rights main
tain,
Unawed by influence and unbought by gain;
Here patriot truth her noblest precepts draw,
Pledged to religion, liberty and law"

The Fort Dodge Gozette draws the
following fearful picture and wholesome
lesson from the melancholy fate of poor

and beyond family consisting Of kind
and affectionat. khusband and father, an
amiable and loving wife and mother and
a bright, handsome innocent babe, all
surrounded by every luxury and com
fort that money could procure, and as
happy as it was possible for family to
be. Look along down and see that faith
err going home night after night Keeling
drunk. Go again to the mansion, and
behold clad in the robe of death, this
broken-hearted and crushed loving wife
and mother; follow along down and see
this babe grown to be sprightly, bright,
intelligent little boy, and see him night
after night sitting on the door steps
until long after midnight, waiting for his
father to return from his carousals
Then remember the sad end of the chief
performer, occurred on last Sunday, and
ask yourselves if you shall swallow the
poison or fling it to the ground"

When the Potter Committee COM
menced its one sided investigation, the
Democracy hoped through it to develope
something that would convict the Pres
ident of personal dishonor in connection
with its Louisiana business, some cor
rupt compact or implication in fraud
that would cover him with disgrace and
possibly justify an attempt to impeach
him. Not only was this anticipation
not realized, but the investigation was
the means of bringing out letters writ
ten by the President to Senator Sher-
man one of the visiting statesmen in
New Orleans when the count of the
Presidential vote was going on, that
places the former in noble light and
fully confirms the confidence Of the
country in his high integrity and purity
of character. The following extract
from that letter-a private one-de-
serves to 60 down in history, beside the
famous utterance of Henry Clay: Il
would rather be right, than President, :"
and to be read by all young men as an
example of unselish patriotism. The
President wrote to Mr.. Sherman:
We are not to allow our friends to defeat an
outrage and fraud by another. There must be
nothing crooked on our part. Let Mr.. Tilden
have the place by violence, intimidation and
fraud rather than undertake to prevent 1t by
means that will not bear the seyerest scrutiny.

TO THE CRAFT.

My brothers of the press,
To you turn with pride;
Our mission is the world to bless,
To counsel and to guide.
A glorious mission ours,
Let us fulfill it well;
Though fortune lavish not her smiles,
Our infiuence-whO may tell.
The pulpit and the press,
Together let them stand
To educate and guide and bless
Our heaven-favored land.
Be 1t our highest aim
To labor for the right,
And, though we wear no wreath of fame,
We yet may shed our light;
And dim though 1t may be,
Obscure and scarcely seen,
Yet, by its light, a few may flee
10 pastures fresh and green.
Life's bitter, blighting storm
Is but fieeting breath; "
Our " stick " aside, our earthly form
Must soon be locked in death.
The last impression made,
The hope to us is given
That when we sleep in deaths dark shade.
Well find repose in Heaven.
