Then and Now.

Owing partly to the improvement in
tools ami shop appliances, and partly to
the system of subdivision of labor, there
is no parallel by which the workingman
of to-day can be gauged OF compared
with the workmen ofthirty or forty years
ago. Then the apprentice was taught
crudely. perhaps, but still taught-all
the mysteries of his ca ling, from the
preparation of the crude material to the
finish of the completed result. The
carpenter hewed his timber from the
tree trunk or limb by means of chalk
line and broadaX. He bored, and NOR
tisCd, and cut lemons, erected the frame
of the building, boarded and shingled,
and clapboarded and lathed. The black
smith shod horses and oxen, tired
wheels, made bolts and nuts, Clipped
and filed and drilled, forged and tenn
pered axes and chisels, and perform. ed
numberless jobs of variety of forms
and for variety of purposes. The ma
chinist sometimes made his own pat
terms and often his own tools, worked at
the wise and the palmer, the lathe and
the forge, and was ready to undertake
any job, from repairing a broken stove
to building an engine.
The Boston Journal Of Commerce re-
members when the above practice was
universal. Now timber is sawed and
not hewed; mortises and lemons are
machine cut; houses are built by the
shinglers, the lathers, and the joiners
as we'll as by the carpenters; and the
doors, windows, window and dool
frames and sashes are factory built. The
horseshoer does nothing else. The forgel
of steel seldom works in iron. The too
maker is nothing but tool maker Tb,
machinist is bench man, lathe man
a planer, filter, or he has a specially
in cotton machinery or woolen, or nevel
works but on steam machinery.

There's a Gain for Every Loss.

1nere Ua1n lOr Every LOSSs
For every wound there is a balm,
For every loss gain,
And warning tumult ends in calm,
While rest is born oil pain.
Those souls who highest pleasure feel,
Sink oft in deepest woe,
While grief, which eye nor lip reveal,
Preys on the heart below.
To those who mourn, day of Joy
Begins when life shall end,
And bliss, which has no base alloy,
With brighter hopes shall blend.
But not on earth surcease is given
To sorrow, suffering, sin;
And perfect peace this side of heaven
Thou canst not hope to win.

Don't Do 1t.

Several thousands of young men will cast
their first Presidential ballots in Maine to-
day for Garfield or Hancock.
To such of them as NAV be thinking OF
casting their ballots for Hancock we desire
in all earnestness. to tender the advice of Mr..
Punch TO his son who was about to marry
."D0n't" We will give them a few terse
reasons for our advice.
Don't vote the democratic ticket. because
it is going to fail, and ''in the lexicon oi
youth, which fate reserves for bright man.
hood, there is no such word as-faH" We
have the authority of a great poet for thai
statement.
Don't vote the democratic ticket, because
it is the ticket of party of miserable memo
ries and frowning prospects. It's future i:
all behind it.
Don't vote the democratic ticket, because
it is the ticket of party that lacked the wis
dom to build sound platform and the cour-
age to stand upon rotten one. A party
that lacks both sound convictions and the
courage of unsound ones, is unfit to govern a
great nation.
Don't vote the democratic ticket because it
represents a party that spells Nation with a
little and State Sovereignty with two big
SIS.
Don't vote the democratic ticket because ii
is not made of true Union metal at both ends.
Hancock fought at Gettysburg, but English
voted for Bully Brooks, and was a copper
head of the worst kind during the rebellion.
Don't vote the democratic ticket because
it is to be put forward by the party that has
assailed in turn the Nations life and the Ma
tions faith with its creditors because it has
stood for Rebellion, Reputation, and Dis
honesty, first, last, and all the time.
Don't vote for the democratic ticket in the
North, because it is the ticket of men who
won't allow the republican orany other ticket
but their own to be voted and counted at the
South.
Don't vote the democratic ticket, because
''change" cannot make the general condi-
ton of things any better, and would proba-
bly,, almost certainly make it much worse.
Don't vote the democratic ticket. because it
means Free Trade, which would be death
blow to nearly all New England's great in
dustries, and would bring her workingmen's 5
wages down to the semi-starvation level of
Europe.
Don't vote the democratic ticket, because
patriotism forbids it, and your own self-inter-
est is against it,
Don't vote the democratic ticket, because
its success would be the triumph of SANDER,
and the justification of forgery
Don't vote the democratic ticket, because
YOU will have to vote in bad company. The
crime Of Mississippi, the ignorance of NADIA
waska, the anti -Americanism of Manhattan
are all voting for Hancock. Vote for Garfield
and Arthur, against them all.
Again we say to the new voters, coming
up with their first Presidential ballots. don't
put the new wine of your young citizenship
into the old bottles of the discredited and for
lorn democracy. Don't do it

Political.

In what country does Barnum expect to
live when this campaign is over?
| Forgery has carried many a man to prison
! but has never carried a candidate into the
| White House.
! Henry Tilden, a brother of Samuel J. Til
York will go republican by large majori-
| ty.
Gen. Walker, superintendent of the census,
who is very well informed us to the political
situation in Connecticut, says that Garfield
will carry that State by 5000.
| A short time since the democratic issue was
"Hancock and the Tariff as local affair -
1t is now "Barnum and forgery as National
democracy How do democrats enjoy the
situation?
The republican Tidal Wave will rise to
the proportions of deluge and will sweep
into the sewers the vile ISLANDERS and forger-
papers.
Solon Chase notes the fact that the name
of Gen. Winfield Scott marks the headstone
| over the grave of the old Whig party, and
thinks it not unlikely that Gen. Winfield
Scott Hancock will, in his turn. be the last
candidate of the democratic party for the
Presidency.
There are great many young men who
will cast their first vote this year, and they
should consider well their duty to the country
before performing that act. 1t is great
thing to start right in ones political life.
The democrats are straining themselves to
prove that Gen. Garfield is free trader. If
they are right, why don't they vote for him?
Theirs is the free trade party and they ought
to be glad to support man who, as they say,
is of their way of thinking.
Yes, there is some truth in the statement
that "the niggers voted the republican ticket
in Indiana In indianapolis ont of 1000
voters but few were found who were so lost
to every sense of gratitude as to vote the
democratic ticket.

Horace Greeley On Hancock 5
Order No, 40.

Gen. Hancock's order purports to be
made with view of conforming to the
Constitution Of the State OF Louisiana, a
thing which, if it had any existence. would
supersede Gen. Hancock authority alto
gether = II he wishes to issue an order
that no negroes shall sit on juries he ought
to have the manliness to do it openly.
No State Constitution has any more author
ity over Gen. Hancock than have the laws
of France, to whom the territory once be-
longed. Just as the President, while
tramping under foot the Constitutions Of
the Southern States, pretended TO obey
them, so Hancock, while holding his very
Office under a law which declar, that the
Southern States have no civil govern,
ments and therefore no Constitutions, ap-
peals to the ghost OF Louisiana's dead
Constitutions. as If it were living law.
