THE LOST BABIES.

Come, my wife, put down the Bible,
Lay your glasses on the book;
Both Of us are bent and aged
Backward, mother, let us look.
This is still the same old homestead
Where l brought you long ago.
When the hair was bright with sunshine
That is now like Winters snow.
Let us talk about the babies,
As we sit here all alone,
Such a merry troop of youngsters;
How We lost them one by one.
Jack the first of all the party.
Came to us one Winters night;
Jack, you said, should be parson,
Long before he saw the light
Do you see that great cathedral,
Filled, the tranSept and the nave
Here the organ grandly pealing,
Watch the silken hanging wave:
See the priest in robes of office,
With the altar at his back
Would you think that gifted preacher
Could be our own little Jack?
Then, girl with curly tresses
Used TO climb upon my knee,
Like little fairy princess,
Ruling at the age of three.
With the years there came wedding
AAO" NOAl L 'hA ASolb WIKI pIIuC
When the lord of all the country
Chose your baby for his bride
Watch that stately carriage coming,
And the form reclining there
Would you think that brilliant lady
Could be your own little Clare?
Then. the last, a blue eyed youngster-
can here him prattle now
Such strong and sturdy fellow,
With his broad and honest brow,
How he used to love his mother"
All! see your trembling lip;
He Is far off on the water,
Captain Of a royal ship.
See the bronze upon his forehead,
Here the voice of stern command;
That's the boy that cluug so foudly
To his mothers gentle HANDY
All! my wife, we've lost the babies.
Ours SO long and ours alone:
What are we to these great people.
Stately men and women grown?
Seldom do we ever see them;
Yes, bitter lear-drop starts,
And we sit here in the freight
Lonely hearth and lonely hearts.
All their lives are full without us;
They'll stop long enough, one day.
Just to lay US in tue church-yard,
Then they'll each g. ON their way.

An Erratic Svmpathizer.

Three weeks ago Mr.. Gilfllan's most
amiable little wife was taken sudden. ?
sick, and her case grew worse and more
alarming so rapidly that her life was de-
SPARED OF. One day she would be at the
point of death, and the next day she
would be able to sit up in bed ut inter
walls. She kept on in this uncertain state
for some time. Last Thursday night she
died, and, on the following morning, an
eccentric neighbor, entitled Johnson, rang
the bell, and was met by Mr.. Gifillan,
who asked him into the parIor and
showed HIM to a seat.

Warrington Correspondence Of n. Y. Sun.
There is no disputing the fact that Grant
cannot command the vote Of the German
Americans, vither East or West. That he
would be distasteful to the last degree TO a
very large and influential class Of Repub.
licans in every State north of Mason and
Dixon's line must DO admitted also. It Is
conceded that in the recent elections In
New York the Independent Republicans,
although but imperiectly organized and
directed by young and inexperienced mon,
with scarcely enough money at their com.
mand to pay their printing bills, polled at
least 10000 votes against Cornell. This
was done when the State canvass was
avowedly conducted on strictly sectional
issue, with every advantage to the Conk-
ling wingof the party which the Chisolm
aud Dixon murders In Mississippi could
give It, Its not wild calculation to esti.
mate the Republican votes in New York
which would be cast against Grant as the
Republican candidate, provided an unob-
jectional Northern Union Democrat was
the nominee Of the Democracy, at 81, 900.
men say that with such
tho Democrats could easily carry
Massachusetts, against Grant, and an en-.
thusiastic Sherman Republican has Just
told me that Grant would fail TO carry
Ohio against Thurman by more than
$4,000 votes, My enthusiastic Sherman
friend is an Ohio man, and OF course he
must have a fayorite son OF Ohio to base

IN THE IRON TRADE CRAZY.


The Present Unnatural Activity for the
SeaSOn-A Reaction Predicted In 1880.
Pittsburgh Manufacturer
The iron trade may be crazy, but 1t ap.
pears that there is real scarcity OF iron
throughout the country, and legitimate
demand for the immediate requirements Of
final consumers. Building oil all kinds is
in rapid progress, capital Is being invested,
and the iron Is needed beyond the capacity
Of manufacturers to furnish it. That this
state Of things will last long we do not be-
lieve. Asw have repeatedly shown the
producing capacity OF the country, taken
together with the available supply from
abroad, will be amply sufficient for all
needs, as soon as the capacity becomes
all employed, but the trouble now Is to sup
ply the immediate wants when the
furnaces are not all lighted and there are
no accumulated stocks to draw from.
Those who must have iron now will have
to pay a good price for it, and it is because
there are plenty Of customers who must
have it, and are willing to pay, that the
uCoCAb bOOH 10 VIGIL hu5Lalu6Ot huS4 we
witness the unusual spectacle Of an ex-
cited marketat the very end Of the year.
AS We have said, the year 1879 has been
full OF surprises, and we do not hazard
much in predicting that the year 1880 will
beikewise full Of them. The year 1879
was ushered In with the lowest prices OF
the century, and it was only a question OF
time when they should go higher. The
year 1880 begins with prices which we
think are already too high, but perhaps
not even yet at their highest, but before
1t closes we may expect settling down
TO lower and Il saler level.
The iron trade oil the country is now
enjoying a wonderfulseason Of prosperity,
but TO the individuals composing the
trade the prosperity is a dangerous one.
There never was time when the risks
were greater. Itseems to be one of the
necessities Of the trade that in the months
Of December and January the largest con.
tracts shall be entered into, and both sell
Ter and buyer must now take the risks Of
= heavy advance or heavy decline in
the market before their contracts can be
filled. The furnace owner must buy his
ore for fear II he delays 1t will not be OBJ.
tainable. He must meet the demands OF
customers and contract to deliver pig iron
ahead, or run the risk OF finding no mar.
ket for his iron if he holds It. He is
forced TO be Spectator, whether he
wishes 1t or not, and he must. encounter
the SPECTATORS danger.

The Demand for Nails.

Chicago Times Of Saturday.
The trade in hardware, nNils, cutlery,
tIn.plAte, roofing, farming implements,
etc., has been something extraordinary
this year. New cities like Leadville, I'm.
known few years ago to the geOgrapher,
have made heavy requirements on our
jobbers, and these sales, added to the sales
to old customers, make the total on ex.
ceedingly liberal one. The consumption
OF nails, owing TO the impetus given to
building up the western cities, towns,
mining camps, and agricultural sections,
has proved enormous, and prices, which
ruled very low early in the year, sub.
sequently advanced very materially.
The advance also extended TO every arti.
ticle in the line OF hardware, and tin.plate,
which has been selling at extraordinarily
low rates for several years, went up sur
prisinGly. The hardware trade has been
conducted by the same old reliable firms
as Of yore, and 1t Is safe 10 estimate the
years sales at $25, 100000.
