TOBACCO FILTH AT THE
CAPITOL.

Gazing at the average American who
crowds the corridors of the capitol on the
last day of the session, 1t is impossible
to believe him the fraction of civilized
nation. Year afer year the fact is pa
tent that during the last week of the ses-
sion the entire capitol is given up to dirt
and decentralization. Nothing in their
way could be more exquisite than the
staircase of tinted marble leading to the
galleries of both Senate and House.
Yet had they been tottering stairways,
leading to dens of dissipation, instead of
to the highest legislative chambers of
the nation, they could not be more de
filed than they are to-day. From base
to summit they reek with tobacco. 1t
drips from their edges and is piled in
.'quids" in their corners, while the spit
toons that line the way would disgrace a
pot-house. 'Tis not perpetually thus.
The corridors, always thronged, are mob

etralia of the Nations life. If they
were but little cleaner, one possibly
might grow poetic, if not patriotic, at
the sight. But with tobacco reeking un-
der your feet; tobacco squirting dag
onally, making the air blue with smoke
and foul with smell, over acres of marble
that should be stainless as your con-
science, altogether it is quite sufficient
to make you doubt the civilization of the
people who claim to be the "mightiest"
on the earth. To see the sight of the
Capitol presents to day one can only
wonder that the fierce war that in Pc
riodic spasms attempt to blot out sin
temperance does not include tobacco in
temperance. Why forget the tobacco in

THE SHOW Err.

Before gust of whirling dust
Dainty Minnie and Millie flew,
Hurryng in from the coming shower,
For their pretty feathers and flowers were new
And their crimps would wilt at breath of mist
CThey guarded them even against the dew),
And their rufes would droop so on they pressed,
Till the wide doors opened and let them through
Under the rainbow, after the shower,
Meg and Motley came to town;
Meg had tangles in her hair,
Molly wore a tattered gown.
Both had baskets scaIlet-heaped
Their little feet were bare and brown,
And under the brim Of their poor straw hats,
Their bashful eyes look down.
The bobolink sings in the dripping elm,
The west is gold and the cast is gray,
And the wind is sweet as sit me down
To copy pictures as may.
Two are fairer than can draw,
Both are sweet in q different way,
And wonder which one you would choose
Ifthey were hung in the light of day.

A STERLING OLD POEM.

Who shall judge man from his manners?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out Of stone;
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overthrown.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me.
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man upraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Observation-Disclosures remember
That your meanest hinds are men!
Men of labor, men of feeling,
Men of thought and men of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little wood.clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
Ror Him oil vaIn
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF a nations wealth and fame,
Titled laziness is pensioned.
Fed and fattened on the same;
By the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifts Its feeble voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right.
God, whose worldwide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression with its titles
But as pebbles in the sea.

TIME TURNS THE TABLES.

Ten years ago, when she was ten,
] used to tease and scold her;
/ liked her, and she loved me then,
boy some five years older.
I liked her, she would fetch my book,
Bring lunch to stream or thicket;
Would oil my gun, or bait my hook,
And field for hours at cricket.
She'd mend my cap, or find my whip,
All but boys hearts are stony!
liked her rather less than "Gyp,"
And far less than my pony.
She loved me then. though Heaven knows why,
Small wonder had she hated,
For scores of dolls she's had to cry,
Whom decapitated.
I tore her frocks pulled her hair,
Called "red" the sheen upon it;
Out fishing would even dare
Catch tadpoles in her bonnet.
Well, now expiate my crime
The Nemesis of fables
Came after years-to-day old Time
On me has turned the tables.
I'm twenty-five, she's twenty now,
Dark-eyed pink-cheeked and bOnny,
The curls are golden round her brow;
She smiles and cllls me johnny"

But now through fate or malice,
When she is by my lips can't frame
Five letters to make Alice"
], who could joke with her and tease,
Stand silent now before her;
Dumb, through the very wish to please
A speechless, shy adorer.

GooD ADvICE.-A great many date
their fall to period when they disobeyed
their parents, and being out late at
night on the street corners, where idle
and disorderly boys would congregate
together. Now, fathers and mothers,
let me urge you to know where your
children are after dark. And then again,
do nothing in thoir proeonoo which YOU
would not want them to do. Home in
fuence will always tell, be it for good
or for evil. Dime-novel reading has done
a great deal to corrupt the morals and
foster crime in this country And just
here let me say a word to young men
and women: Avoid bad company, for the
old adage always holds good: birds
of feather flock together" If seen in
bad company you will be regarded in
the same light as your bad associates. If
you should 90 out to the ash box. and
put your hand into the ashes, perhaps
there would be no fire to burn you.
Nevertheless the coal that you touched
would blacken your fingers. So be care
ful of the company you keep, and select
for your associates and friends those who
are among the good and the true. If
you do this you will find it easier not to
contract bad habits than it will be in
after years to get rid of them. Live a
life of usefulness, and make the world
better for having lived in it.

"Many classes Of matter, which under
the old law were rated with letter pos
tage, are, under the now classification,
TO be rated as fourth-class merchandise,
such, for instance, ~ drawings, plans,

Printed matter, partly in writing, may
be first or third class matter, according
TO the nature Of the written inscription
thereon. If the inscription Is Of the ma
ture OF personal correspondence, the
matter must pay hrst-class rates. An
Inscription not In the nature Of personal
correspondence may be written upon
thlrd-class matter without subjectlng 1t
to letter postage. Fourth-class matter
includes everything not included In the

Post Masters should consider the pre-

Senator Ewing ON Silver.

Mr.. Ewing last week in the Senate
in alluding to the excuse that the bill
demonetizing silver, was simply mis-
take, said
That he did not believe it was an
accident. He believed that IL was an
ingenious. well-devised and secretly
executed fraud upon the American
people. [Applause on the Democrat
10 side.] The stealth with which 1t
was done only illustrated the saying
in the merry Wives of Windsor !"
"If money go before. all ways lie
open" The people of Europe and
the United States were laboring under
heavy weight of public and private
debts aud taxation. There must come
some relief; there must come revival
OF prices from the enforced gold level,
and 1t could only come by restoring
silver and gold to an equal, free, un-
limited coinage. Whatever tended to
degrade and impoverish the laboring
masses Of the country tended inevita-
Lly, swiftly to the establishment Of
class rule. There was money metal
which was bofore Abraham, and be-
fore Troy. which had remained pre-
eminently the money of civilized
men. 1t had been the rich torch of
civilization. 1t had lighted Rome In
to imperial splendor. When il had
been extinguished the world had sunk
for thousand years into darkness
When 1t had been rekindled, it had
lighted the civilization of two couti-
neDts. In, conclusion he said: Shall
we use II? Shall we open our minis
to its unlimited coinage? Shall we
use 1t to pay off and discharge the
enormous burden Of public and private
debt under which the energies Of our
people are sinking-to tighten the tre-
mendous debts which 80 oppress the
people" Shall we nse 1t to send it
