THE SKEIN.
BY ROBERT BUCHANAN,

slip, yes, slip your skein, my Kitty.
Ger my hands. and wind and wind,
All the while. with little pity
Tangling, tangling heart and mindi
Kitty, eyes upon the wool
Not on me, my beautiful
Now you droop your eyes completely
Winding, winding dreamily;
Wherefore, wherefore smile SO sweetly
On thing that cannot see?
Ifyou must smile, smile this way,
will bear it as 1 may.
All the rosebud finger fitting
Swift about the colored ball
How my heart beats time while sitting;
Still try to bear it all.
Kitty, do you know or care
'Tis my heart you're winding there?
Kitty, am in Visionl
All the world 10 mist uoIn die;
Only I'm an air Elyslan.
Little fairy fingers fly;
Surely, If they fit too near.
shall catch and kiss them, dearl
Tangled pout not, frown not. KittyI
Though gladly bear the pain;
For your anger is so pretty
1t may make me sin again.
There! tits well. Now wind and wind,
Tangling further heart and mind.
Now tits donel The last thread fingers
Sadly from me now to part;
Can'st thou see that in my fingers
am holding up my hearth
Wind and wind; l do not care,
Smile or frown, and will bear.
All so fast and quick you wind IT.;
no more can keep it mine;
Do not wonder that you find it
Throbing now, close, close to thine?
Tangled, tangled are the twain
Kiss, kiss, kiss them free againI

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.

One of the most beautiful and practl-
cal instances of real kindness ever saw
came to ME in this wise: l had gone
into my butchers shop one Saturday
night and was waiting for my steak.
While doing so, man black with toll
and dust of machinery came in. He
was old and homely, and meanly dress
ed, and l never should have looked upon
him as divine agent of consolation had
not little girl came in and revealed
him to me. "How's father to-day,
Polly ?" he asked. "He's worse to-day,
and mothers down too; and the weary
little thing began crying softly to her
self. Then the man stopped and said
something in low voice, to which she
only shook her head and cried more
bitterly. So he took the basket from
her, saying: ''Run away home, Polly,
or that baby, she'll be in mischief. I'll
bring the basket She offered him
twenty-five cents, but he hurried her
away and would not touch it. Then he
chose some good beef, piece of bacon,
and plenty of vegetables, rnd having
paid for them, walked off toward large
tenement house in sight. L gave him
silen: reverence as he passed me, for l
knew him then as one of Gods messen-
gers, unconsciously, but oh how blessed
ly, taking share in the ministry of an
gels Opportunities like these are con.
stantly thrown in our way by the angel
who watcheth over our souls; but if a
brother or sister be naked and destitute
of daily food, and one of you say unto
them. depart in peace. be ye warmed
and filled, Notwithstanding ye give them
not those things which are needful to
the body, what doth it profit %
VALUE OF THE HOME PAPER.
A large proportioned of the people in
every community do absolutely nothing
to support their local papers, and yet
reap the beneft-in dollars and cents
every day, of the editors work. A man
will say, advertising does no good in
my business ; it may be necessary for
dry goods men, or milliners, but it's no
use in my business; l have to keep men
on the road and get my customers by
going after them" and yet the fact is
that the town in which he does business
would be unknown, the railroad over
which he ships his goods would be TN
built, and he himself unheard of, were
1t not for the newspaper, which he says
does him no good. The local newspaper
is of benefit to every man in the CON-
munity, just as much as the local gov
ernment; and when a man refuses to
contribute to the support of the paper,
on the ground that it "does him no
good" he might just as we'll refuse to

The Nevada courts are wrestling with
this knotty case. A Methodist church
expelled one of its members, and as he
thought this action was the result of
the pastors spite against him, he set
about conducting his devotions in a
rather original manner. He owns saw
mill near the church, and on Sunday he
attaches to the engine an immense steam
calliope, upon which he performs divers
sacred songs with such volume of sound
that the voice of the neighboring parson
is drowned. When taxed with disturb
ance of the Sabbath peace and divine
worship, he responded that he had as
much right to sing praises by steam
calliope as the minister and congregation
had by organ, and the temporal courts
are now discussing the case on an appeal
from local magistrate, who sustained
the plea of the excommunited saw-mill
owner.

A little three-year-old in town, who

SCoRCHED LARD.-If lard that is used
for frying doughnuts, should unluckily
get scorched, potato sliced thinly into
the kettle, when the lard is hot, and
allowed to fry crisp, will remove all the
color and all bitter taste. Try it before
you call the lard spoiled. and turn it out.

ter has been very severe, and heavy snow
storms have prevailed where snow is
rarely seen. Private letters from Paris
speak of the past winter as one of the
most disagreeable known for years. The
inundation at Szegedin was caused by
the melting snow. At Berlin recently
there was a heavy fall of snow, and
10000 loads of snow were removed
from the main public streets in order to
make them passable. Naples has been
visited by tempest accompanied by a
violent eruption of Mount Versuvius.
At Venice the Adriatic has inundated
Place St. Marc. and at Vienna they have
had thunder storm. In Syria and at
Southampton the sea was so calm that
the rain which fell covered the water
with thin ice, as the temperature was
not sufficiently low to freeze salt water.
The tempest which swept over southern
Europe on the 25th ult. caused heavy
avalanches in the Austrian Alps. What
is very singular, this tempest, which
came from Africa, brought with it the
sand of the desert of Sahara, which
mixed with the snow as it fell.
THE QUEEN OF HoME.-Henor the
dear old mother. Time has scattered
snowy fakes on her brow, plowed deep
burrows on her cheeks, but is she not
sweet and beautiful now The lips are
thin and shrunken, but those are the
lips which have kissed many a hot tear
from the childish cheeks, and they are
the sweetest lips in the world. The eye
is dim. yet it glows with the soft radi-
ance that can never fade. All, yes, she
is a dear old mother. The sands of life
are nearly run out, but, feeble as she is
she will go further and reach down low
er for you than any other upon earth.
You cannot enter prison whose bars
will keep her out; you can never mount
scaffold too high for her to reach that
she may kiss and bless you in evidence
of her deathless love. When the world
shall despise and forsake you, when it
leaves you by the wayside to die un-
noticed. the dear old mother will gath
er you in her feeble arms and carry you
you home and tell you all your virtues
until you almost forget that your soul is
disfgured by vices. Love her tenderly,
and cheer her declining years with holy
devotion.

Bible question: 1st. The word pen
knife is found in Jer. 36 :23.
Mathematical: lst. A third and half
third of is 2 l-2. The point intend
ed to be made in this question was that
third and half third is one half; but
probably nine out of ten who solved the
problem took the long and tedious pro-
cess of dividing five by three, taking
half of that number and adding the
quotients together.

Tho CRY Of Fraud.

The Democrats continue to represent
that Tilden honestly obtained a majorl-
tv of the electoral votes cast by the
different States in 1876, and that he
was cheated out OF the Presidency
by the chicanery or management
of the Republican party. A greater
Misrepresentation was never made
The Democrats did not carry all OIL
the Southern States fairly or honestly.
They were fairly beaten in South Caro-
lima and Florida, and in Louisiana the
BOARD of Canvass only acted IN ac-
cordapce with the law which au-
tborizes the throwing out OF the vote
in every district where violence had
been used to intimidate voters, and
fair opportunity had not been given to
the citizens to vote as they desired.
Fraud and vio!encs We're both proven,
and the Board Of Canvass did right III
throwing out the vote in certain dis
tricts and counting the electoral vote
for Uaves, A similar law should oe
enacted by Congress and made appliea-
bic to all the States. The votes OF dis
tricts carried through fraud and vio-
lence should not be counted, and repre-
seutatiyes elected in thai way should
not be admitted to seats in Congress.
The majority OF the Rebel brigadie' ,
have no business there, and should not
b. permitted to stay. Men VINO wlli
not tolerate the existence of political
opponent, and who will sanction mur-
der in orderto silence opposition, should
not be allowed to make laws or shape
the policy OF the country. When lar
play is exercised at the polls in the
Southern States it will be time enough
to talk about fraud or cheating ally Que
ont OF the Presidency. Unless Repub-
licans should be permitted to organize
in Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisi-
ana and Alabama, and every man al
low ed to vote as lie desires, the el.cto-
raj votes allotted TO them should not be
counted and they should not be per
mi,ted to control the election or in any
manner shape the legislation OF the
country.

The driving ont of Mrs. Price and her
husband from Grenada, Taylor from
Virginia, and hundreds of others who
might be mentioned is no myth. The
assassination of Dixon, of Brice, and
the attempt to assassinate Nix are no
vaporing imaginations. The half of the
outrages committed by the "Gazette's' y
friends upon the Republicans will new
or bs told. If the editor Of that paper
will but call off the human-shap.d
blood hound of the South from the
hunting, shooting aud killing Of Re-
publicans, we will stop publishing a
record OF them, for this moment the
Democratic party Of the North says
stop, from that moment thers will be nc
more murders SO long as these mur
ders, assassnations and outrages con,

tinue to publish them, even though il
may not please the "Gazette," that il

The PHILADELPHIA Evening "Bulle-
tin" referring to the useless expendi-
lures of public money says the amount
of public money squandered by Hen
drick B. Wright's committee during its
recent burlesque inquiry into the csu-
ses of the depression Of labor, was seven
thousand dollars. AS labor was not
depressed when Wright started upon
his trip, and as he would not have been
capable of making an intelligent ex-
animation of the subject if it had been
depressed, this money has simply been
thrown away. 1t was used for no other
purpose than to give Wright chan =
to take summer trip at our expense
and at the COS. Of other tax payers,
and to afford him al opportunity to
harangue Communist moDs and ml5cel
laneous idiots in Chicago and san Fran
cisco. As line specimen OF Democrat
ic economy, the waste of these seven
thousand dollars deserve popular con
sideration. No less consideration should
be given to the junketting tour of Sen
ator Salisbury and his committee, out
to Kansas to investigate the manner in
which Senator Ingalls, was elected. The
Senator, If he is anxious for investiga
ton that will amount to something,
should commence one in Delaware to
snow how elections are carried in for
the Democracy in his own little State.
The Seuator should sweep his own door

JUDGE THURMAN was interviewed the
morning after the election by repre-
sentative of the Cincinnati "Enquirer. l"
He expressed his surprise and dsap-
pointment at the result of it, because
he wished to see the Democracy carry
Ohio this fall, but, so far as he was
concerned, said that it would relieve
him of the duties of an arduous position
and give him a chance for rest, which
he needs. Amt it singular that Thur
man never thought of retiring and TAX

An ApOIOgisi for Crime.

The "Gazette,' the profuse and
trucking apologist for Wilmington
Democratic repeaters and Southern po-
litcal murders by members of its par
ty, took occasion yesterday to call at
tsntion to the REPUBLICAN, which Ii
charged with publishing what it calls
"Scandalous abusive lies about the
Southern people" first published in
the New York "Tri buue." The ancient
editor of the Gazette" says they ''are
no. intended to influence intelligent
people. They are solely and purpose
ly published to mislead the weak and
ignorant" The purposes of the editor
are distinctly seen in the quotations We
have made. We would retort by saying
that his attempts to shield the members
of his party in the South from the mur.
