Which tells US in advance of victory aud fame !;
Is not the Cock the emblem of democracy,
Which crows fer them at every vlotoryI
He Isl Thep, 10 the coming struggle, let Us
stand BY him,
And our opponents chances will be slim.
He is game cocK' too, as history has told.
| Who fought us southern rebels brave aud bold,
With sword in hand, 10 open manly Ggbt,
But like ourselves, thought be was 10 the right.

truthful tongue.
The bloody shirt or traitor, iu our faces flung.
Long ended is the bsneful war of swords.
| But not as yet the war OF bitter words
Aud as We wish for peace throughout the lsnd,
Let US accept the proffered democratic hand,
| And with the gallant GAME coCk' enter in
the ioId
And, yes, by Gal !-6,ld, foe aud all will have to
yield.
No longer solid North. no longer solid South,
Let both 20 hand in hand the one and only

Which leads our couotry on to harmony:
L. is 90 other, than staunoh democracy
Prosperity, before the war, was everywhere the

Then ,Jfd,
IN the c,miug peaceful fight, give him their

For twenty years republicans have ruled with
iron hand,
Brought debt, staguation of our trade and dis

HAPPY HoMEs.-Few homes | thiuk are

abiding love betwcsn husband aud wife, parents
and children, aud tender torbesrance towards
each other 8 faults When these tXist theYcanuot

We see it otherwise. The husband who has
taken solemu vow to love and cherish. and
the wife to love aod booor, are driftiog slowly
but surely apart. They do not understand each
other, though 10 name they have been one for
years. They have different conceptions of each

faults 10 the others shoulders. On. erriug
judges do ye not know that He who kooweth

The heart of woman is fragile thing and

how often do you irlmo pie upon this right. how
often harsh or impatient word or tooe which
is remembered by you no longer than it takes
you to ter it, is winged shaft that strikes
and quivers iu loving heart Husbands, who's,
wives are no, what you thiok they should be,
who appear to be fault 6odiog and oapricious,
