Another fact illustrates the COM
pleteness Of the Democratic surrender.
Wherever In any Of the States named
these allied supporters of the Greer
back movement had the same candi
date 1t will be found that the Green.
hackers controlled the selection. When
the candidate accepted by the two
parties-or the two wings of the party
was originally Greenbacker, the
Democrats cOncurred. Again an again
they accepted q Greenback candidate
and made him their. own. In no in
stance, however, did the Green nbackers
place upon their ticket a candidate who
had already been nominated by the
Democrats as Democrat Carry for
ward this examination of the relations
borne by the two parties, each to the
other, and the superiority fthe Green.
hackers over the Democrats, as regards
integrity, will be apparent at every
stage. We repeat, therefore, that to
judge aright of the strength displayed
by the enemies of sound finance on
Tuesday, the Democratic vote must be
added to the separate Greenback
vote. \ Any bargaining with
Greenbackers to which Republicans
have been parties in connection with
these elections has, we believe, been
confined tC West Virginia. In the
three other States the Republican
advance has been as conspicuous as the
Democratic surrender. This
Improvement and consolidation of the
Republican party, on ground superior
to nearly all Of its platforms, constitute
one of its most substantial gains. The
winning or losing Of district here or
there is OF less Importance than the
temper In which it waged the fight,
and the extent to which events have
pledged Its future.

Thanks to Mr.. Schurz's speech, which

A Lille OutcsiSl.

Poor Bob! it seemed to him that
morning as though he was in every
body'5 way. His mother had sent him
out of the wood house because he an
noyed her by hammering the toy cart
he WAS making; going into one corner
of the yard he stretched himself under
a tree, and kicking the turf with his
heels, pondered over his many trou-
ble-.
Mother said there was no peace for
anybody if he was in hearing; but GER
taiuly there was nc peace for him about
home. He had slipped into the parlor
after dinner, and was having a good
chat with Mrs. Somers, and she was
telling him of three wonderful black
and spottea puppies at her house, when
sister Jennie came In, and asked him
what he was imposing on Mrs. Somers
for.
He wasn't imposing; Mrs. s. said so.
But Jennie made him leave the room
v ithout learning how the littlest and
prettiest spotted puppy got out of the
cistern when it fell in. Maybe it
didn't get out. Bob kicked harder and
wished he knew.
Alter his ej, ction from the parlor,
Bob started tor the garret to play
awhile; but his elder sisters were re-
hearsing tableaux ,and wouldn't let him
il.
He sought his fathers study to look
at an illustrated edition of natural his
tory. But papa objected; he couldn't
have Bob in there making disturb
rnce.
Almost heart-broken he returned to
his mothers room. Get right away,
you will wake the baby met him at
the threshold.
He looked into the kitchen and beg
ged to make pies, but Emma told him
to clear out. He next went to the wood
house and sought to assuage his sor-
rows by working on his wagon, and
now he was forbidden that. Nobody
wanted him at home, that was clear;
yet he had right there.
The problem was beyond his-year
old philosophy. He gave it up pres
emily, and went into the street to find
He found it in the shape
of Jackie Harkins. True, mother said
Jack was bad boy, and Bob must not
play with him, but If he were bad he
was always kind and pleasant; and so
poor Bob took his first lesson in decep' |
ton, and entered the broad path OF
vice for companionship, because while
in the way Of virtue no one wanted his
society.
How about the future of q boy like
that, mothers? Have you Bob among |
your little flock? if so, think little
upon the rights of boys, and uDgrudg'
ingly give him place at home from
which no outside circumstances shall
ouSt him.

Make Childhood Sweet.

Wait not till the little hands are at rest
Ere you ill them full of flowers;
Wait not for the crowning tuberoSe
To make sweet the last sad hours;
But while in the busy household band,
Your darlings still need your guiding hand,
Oh, I'll their lives with sweetness!
Wait not till the little hearts are still,
For the loving look and phrase;
But while you gently chide fault
The good deed kindly praise.
The word you would speak beside the bier
Falls sweeter far on the living ear;
Oh, fill young lives with sweetness.
Ah! what are kisses on clay cold lips
To the rosy mouth we press,
When our wee one flies to the mothers arms,
For loves tenderest caress?
Let never a worldly baube keep
Your heart form the joy each day should reap,
CircliLg young lives with sweetness.
Give thanks each morn for the sturdy boys,
Give thanks for the fairly girls;
With dover of wealth like this at home,
Would you rifle the earth for pearls5
Wait not for death to gem loves crown,
But daily shower life's blessing down,
And fill young hearts with sweetness.
Remember the homes where the light has fled,
Where the rose has faded away;
And the love that glows in youthful hearts,
Oh, cherish it while you may!
And make your home garden of flowers,
Where joy shall bloom through childhood's
hours,
And fill young lives with sweetness.
