WAS THE WAR IN VAIN {?

When the smoke Of the battle was gone,
And the tidings OF peace made us glad.
We rejolced for the victory won,
But its cost made us heart-sIck and sad.
We all wept for the thousands of dead,
On the terrible battlefield slain,
And we looked at each other and said:
"Was the war for the Union in vain p
See those manned and unfortunate ones
Who so bravely risked all in the strife,
Our dear fathers and brothers and sons
Now SO cruelty crippled for lifel
See those widows whose sad faces show
The sharp sting of the hearts secret pain
Were their loved ones for nothing laid low?
Was the war for the Union in vain?
See the homes Of our desolate poor
Which the red hand Of war hath despoiledI
No privation had they to endure
Till rebellion our nation embroed.
Count the cost of the crippled and dead.
or the widows and orphans in pain.
And then ask II all Justice has fed
Was the war for the Union in vain?
By the graves OF our patriot sires
By the blood which in loyal hearts fowl
By the flame which our banner inspires!
By our love for our countryI No! no!
What we won on the field we will hold.
At the polls our good right We'll maintain,
And we never again need be told
That the war for the Union was vain.

PROGRESS OF THE REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY.

The republican party may sometimes
have failed to meet your expectations in
all things, may sometimes have neglected
to do that which ought to have been
done, but, on the whole, it has rendered
such service to this country that it may
fairly claim to be intrusted with the
administration of the government until
at least some party appears with better
principles and better record. The
republican party conducted the war with
success. 1t has emancipated whole
race. 1t has done its utmost to secure
civil and religious liberty to all citizens.
1t has developed the homestead policy.
1t has unified and nationallzed all parts
of our common country into one grand
whole, without invading in the least the
rights and duties of the several States,
which during this time havessecurely
managed their local affairs without let
or hindrance from the national govern
ment. It proposes further to develop
this policy. 1t proposes to maintain the
resumption of specie payments, SO that
we may continue to have good money of
gold and silver and paper, all equal to
each other, and all of universal credit
wherever water runs and our flag floats.
1t proposes to complete the plan of re-
funding the debt by the substitution of
bonds bearing from three to four per
cent. interest for those still outstanding
bearing higher rate. 1t proposes,
while steadily pursuing the principle of
protecting. American industry, to reduce
as rapidly as possible the burden of tax.
alton, and at no distant time to confne
all national taxes to moderate duties on
imported goods and a tax on liquors
tobacco and beer. Regarding education
as the strongest foundation for republi
can government, it proposes to foster
schools and colleges and academies o.
learning. and to make the way open IL
the South as we'll as in the North tt
every child, black or white, to receiv,
the rudiments of education. 1t ha
given you. as an evidence of its purposes
an honest, faithful and successful ad
ninistration of the national government
under the Presidency of Rutherford B
Hayes, one that will be pointed to as al
honored example long after we are gath
cred to our fathers. He has not ha.
the support of Congress during his term
and has been crippled greatly in tn
development of his policy; but he ha
prevented great evils from being accom-
plished by the democratic party. Nor
than all. he has wisely executed reput
liean laws upon the statute-book, an
has by his veto prevented the repeal c
other laws equally important. He ha
done the country no evil but has don
it great good.-Secreta,y Sherman.

NOSES CLASSIFIED.

Francis Grose, in his appendix to
Hogarth's elements of Beauty" de-
lineates eight typical noses. There is
the angular; the aquiline or Grecian ;
the bulbous or bottled the turn-up or
snub; and the mixed or broken. Of
the latter, by the way, the noses of at
least two illustrious men may be taken
as Observation-Disclosures Brahe and
Micheal Angelo, the latter of whom
owed his ungraceful appendix to vio-
lent blow from a companion with whom
he was at variance. and who thus dis
figured the great artist for life and in
stantly fed. To these may be added
the orator Cicero, upon whom nature
seems to have bestowed nasal organ of
type decidedly mixed" if not bro
ken. Plutarch in his life of the queru-
lous Roman, says that he had fiat ex-
crescence on the top of his nose in re-
semblance of vetch-cicer in Latin
from which he took his surname. Pliny
says, with more probability, that the
name originated in an extensive culti-
vation of vetches, just as others had
previously been surnamed from crops of
other kinds. However this may be the
fact of Ciceros snub nose may no doubt
be accepted, and it accords with the
traditional belief that this description
of nose is usually indicative of fiery,
quick, impetuOus temper, Cicero having
possessed this characteristic IN marked
degree. Horace seems to regard the
short nose, with little turn-up at the
end, as the mark of person given to
jibing and jeering. Martial calls it the
rhinoceros nose, and says it was highly
fashionable in his day, everybody affect
ing this kind of proboscis as an indica-
tion of satirical humor. The 'angu-
lar" nose, as Grose calls it, is the long
clearly-cut, pointed organ, and was, no
doubt, the type to which Horace al
ludes when he says that it is indicative
of satirical wit. The 'parrot beak" is
the nose with which Mr.. Punch usually
adorns his caricature of the Sultan or
Khedive, and is akin to the typical Jew
ish nose all over the world. The eight
types given embrace every description
of the feature. and caricature are strong
ly recommended in the treatise alluded
to to make themselves perfectly familiar
with the simple lines by which these
curiOusly comprehensive sketches are
effected.
A very singular fact has been OBJ
served with regard not so much to the
shape of the nose as to the setting of il
in the face, so to speak To be strictly
correct from the artists point of view,
the nose should be accurately in the
middle of the face and at right angles
with line from the pupil of one eye
to that of the other. AS matter OF
fact, it is rarely or never found thus
placed. 1t is almost invariably little
out of "the square" and the fact of its
being so is often that which lends pc.
culiar expression and piquancy to the
face. A medical writer points out that
there are anatomical reasons why q
slight deviation from the true central
line may be expected, and that the nose
which is thus accurately straight be-
tween the two eyes may be considered
an abnormal one, and that the only alb
solutely correct organ is that which de
viates little to the right or left

UNCLE EsEK'S WISDOM.

The conservatism of most people is
nothing more than their radicalism gone
to seed.
No man is envious of what he can
equal, or even initiate.
The man who is ever ready to take
the chances will very probably take his
last one in the almshouse.
Men have been known to correct
their vanity, subdue their pride. and
even overcome their superstitutions, but
once impregnated with it, it is impossi-
Bile for man to get rid of his vulgarity.
The man who lives for others must
expect most of his pay in self-satisfac-
tion.
Most successes spring up, Phe-
nix like, from the ashes of some fail
ure.
Good breeding is letter of credit all
over the world.
A man of true genius is generally as
simple as child, and as unconscious of
his power as an elephant.
If we would measure our happiness
by the condition of those below us, in.
stead of those above, we should find our
selves very well-off.
The man who can distinguish be-
tween good advice and poor does not
need either.
Every man makes his own reputation
the world only puts on the stamp.
There is a great deal of modesty il
this world which will gaze at almos
anything-provided it can be seer
through crack.
Silence is hard opinion to beat.
Next to silence comes brevity-tht
wise mans strength and the FOOLS re
fuge.
A gentleman never will insult an,
one, and loafer cannot.
Bigotry knows of but one way tt
reach heaven, while faith knows of
hundred.
Man is two-legged. eccentric anima
that deals in politics, religion and gen
eral merchandise.
1t is well to give heed to your doubt
for they are very often the drawings O
truth.
Literary men, as class, are unsatis
factory companions if you fatter thei
vanity enough to make them agreeable
you disgust yourself.
He who does a good deed makes heay
en- his debtor
Chastity is like broken vase;
can be mended, but can never be mad
whole.
A thoroughly good man is invariabl
brave one.
1t is much more difficult for a ma
to make circumstance than it is for
circumstance to make man.
1t require wisdom to be able, and
requires honesty to be willing, to ca
things by their right names.
Man is the only creature that laughs
angels do not, animals cannot, an
devils will not.-.Scribner's Magazime

The completion of the Southern Pa
ci6c is looked for by the farmers of Cal
ifornia to open new and favorable
route for the export of their vast sur
plus wheat crop. 1t is even prophesied
that this route via the Southern Pacific,
New Orleans and the Gulf. will carry
the entire crop of that state, almost i'm
mediately after its opening. and that
wheat alone will give the road 10000
tons of freight month.
