POliteness at Homo.

A BOY who is polite to his father and
mother is likely to be polite to every
one else. A boy lacking politeness to
his parents may have the semolance Of
courtesy in society. but is never truly
polite in spirit, and is in danger. rs he
becomes familiar, of betraying his real
want of courtesy. We are all in danger
of living too much for the outside
world, for the impression which we
make in society, TO covet the good
opinions of those who are in Q sense a
part of ourselves, and who will continue
to sustain and be interested in US, not
withstanding these defects of deport-
ment and character. We say to every
boy and to every girl, cultivate the
habit of courtesy at home--in the sit
ting-ro and kitchen, as well as i'm the
parlor and you will be suie in other
places to deport yourself in becoming
and attractive manner. When one has
a pleasant smile and graceful demean-
or, it is satisfaction to know that
these are not put on, but that they be-
long to the character, and are manifest
ut all times and under all circumstances.

Don't Dawdle.

The word "dawdle" means to
"waste time," to "trile." When q
boy does a thing in "poky." lazy
way, he "dawdles over it.
1t is a bad thing to fall into
dawdling habit. 1t helps to make q
boy unmanly, and girl unwoman-
ly. The dawdler's life is apt to
be failure. He does little for himself
or for others. lin books, Or work, or
healthful play" he doesn't amount to
much.
Don't dawdle. Do things with will,
and do them well. You must not
splutter or be "fussy" over your work.
The fussy fellow can waste time in his
haste as well as the dawdler in his slow
trihing. Have quick eye and ready
hand and patient heart, always.
If you have an hour in which to do
q half-hour's task, do it in that half
hour.
Get through on time, then play with
briskness and sparkling enjoyment. Do
your errands promptly. Brush your
hair with lively hand. Sweep your
room with decision in every motion of
the broom.
Take one "degree" in useful line

Figures Worth Considering.

The Garfield Republicans have not
the slightest hope of carrying single
Southern State This assures 1873
Electoral votes to General Hancock.
He will need only AZ Electoral votes in
the Northern States to complete the
requisite majority of 185. Where can
he get them?
The States of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, New York and Connecticut cast 70
votes, namely: Pennsylvania, 20; New
Jersey, 9; New York, 35, and Connect
icut, 6. On straight pull between the
two parties, New Jersey and New York
are decidedly Democratic, and Connect
icut usually inclines in that direction,
while Pennsylvania has been disposed
to go Republican. In the spirited con-
test of 1876 New York gave Tilden
and Hendricks a majority of $4,000,
New Jersey majority of $4,000, and
Connecticut a majority of $500; but
Pennsylvania went for Hayes by ma
jority of 1900.
Under ordinary circumstances, these
four States might be expected to vote in
November next as they did four years
ago. Even such result would more
than suffice to elect Hancock and En-
glish, for New Jersey, New York and
Connecticut cast fifty votes, which is
three more than the Democratic candi-
dates will need with the whole vote of
the South. es..sF
But with General Hancock at the
head of the ticket the circumstances
are not of an ordinary character as far
as these four States are concerned.
There are now living in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York and Connecti-
cut at least two hundred thousand
voters who served with General. Ham
cock in the army of the Potomac, while
served under him. The two hundred
thousand have been with him in many a
battle for the preservation OF the Union,
and the tens of thousands have seen
him, sword in hand, fighting shoulder
to shoulder with them in the thickest
press. With General Hancock backed
By the united Democracy of these four
States, the probability that the extra
soldier vote will prove ample to main
tain the Democratic majorities Of 1876
in the three States that went for Til
den. and to capture the nine thousand
woes in Pennsylvania which are needed
to turn that State over to Hancock,
must be admitted to be reasonably
strong.
But we have overlooked Indiana. and
its fifteen electoral votes, which were,
cast for Tilden and Hendricks four wears
ago. The State naturally inclines to
the Democracy. The Cincinnati Con-
vention has strengthened the ticket by
placing William 81. English upon it as
the candidate for Vice-President. He
is one of the ablest and most popular
men in the State, and his name will
most likely secure it to the Democrats
IN the preliminary election in October.

cock and English in November by a

We have SCOT you on that ticket,
Republicans. You never sought states
men for your candidates. You prefer
to be the war party" You put Grant
in two terms because he was a Union
soldier; you put Hayes in one term be-
cause he was Union soldier; you nomi-
mated Garfield because he was Union
soldier. We now give the country
Union soldier, the superior of all these
men. We now give the country a Union
soldier whose orders and letters during
an important period of our history show
him to be also statesman. You can
not match him. You have not matched
him. Go back to your old moldy drivcl
about "rebels" and ''loyalty'', and you
will make your defeat only more over
whelming. The people of the United
States, through the length and breadth
of the Union, will show you that they
will not put up with bilious Republican
leaders who have never advanced be-
yond the year 1864, and who see no
hope for Office except in the generation
of disunionism. hatred and sectional

Some Seed. Eating Birds.

If you look at your canary bird, you
will see that his bill is thick, strong,
broad and cone-shaped. What does he
eat? Only seeds, with sometimes a
little lettuce or celery, unless you are
foolish enough to give him sugar and
cake, which are not good for him. This
bill is made to crack the hard outer
covering of seeds.
Many of the birds which we see in
our gardens belong to the same family
of seed-eaters, or finches, and live on
the cones of evergreens, the seeds of
plants, or sometimes on insects. One
of the most common of them is the
chipping sparrow. If you listen in the
garden, you will hear his Chip! chip!
chipr' and If you look for him, you
will find little bird whose feathers are
almost all gray and brown. His nest is
not far away. in some bush or honey
suckle vine, and the eggs are small,
buish-green with dark marks. Some
times, if you listen, you viii hear the
chipping sing long trill. but
YOU NAV have to wait a long time before
he gives you anything but his :" chip
Another common bird OF the seed
eating family is the purple finch, or red
linnet. Some day you will hear, per-
haps, from, the top of tall larch, song
not unlike canary's except that it is
sweeter. and when you look up, you
will see among the fresh green needles.
against the blue sky, a little bird with
a breast as red as the larch cones in
April. Look at him, and if your eyes
are good, you will see. that he has bill
ike the other birds of his family. Per-
haps ne will meet some little brown
birds. his younger brothers and his wife
and sisters. The brothers, when they

Mr.. Blaine's nomination for Pr,

Mr.. Blaine's nomination for Pres
ident was twice defeated by the pre-
vailing belief that his hands were not
quite clean. A candidate whose private
character is not above suspicion is a
heavy load for a party to carry in close
canvass. If the facts in Mr.. Garfield s
record and the opinions of Republicans
in 1878 about his connection with the
Credit Mobilier bribery had been as
well known to the country three weeks
ago as they are to-day, he could not
have been nominated. The number of
Republicans everywhere who are ask
ing themselves whether Mr.. Garfield is
a fit man to receive the votes of honest
men for President is very large.-M. =.

POLITICAL POINTS.

No stain on his record as a SOL
der, no reproach against his character
as a citizen. Hancock is as completely
the antithesis of Garfield. as honesty is
of dishonesty. We want the agreeable
variety of President with pure hands.
3--E1change. ~
Hancock will take care of the
bloody shirt and English of the money
question. Fair notice is served on the
Republican party that they will have to
contine themselves in this campaign to
the pleasant occupation of whitewash-
ing the stains on Garfield and Arthur

- Colfax and Garfield were in the
Credit Mobilier dicker to precisely the
same extent. The people of Indiana
have not been very clamorous for the
'vindication" of the former since
Cakes Ames' terrible exposures. Nor
are the people of the country hankering
to do for Garfield what he has not been

(St. Louis).
The charges made against Gen.
eral Hancock thus far are decidedly
damaging. Item, he is a gentleman;
item. graduate of West Point; item,
an Episcopalian; item. cOrset-wearer;
item, he was engaged in an expensive
Indian war; item, Mrs. Surratt was
hung. These things are enough to
make an American citizen forswear the
land of his BIRTH Chicago Times.
- The New York Herald tells
General Garfield that eff he has moth
ing to confess or explain, if the whole
Credit Mobilier story and whole De
Qblyer story are malicious fab
rications," he should begin proceedings
against the New York san, and we
suppose other papers that have quoted
the records against him, for libel. The
suggestion is a good one. If injustice
has been done the Republican candl-

and vindicate him. f. z
General Garfield, it appears, is

THE QUEER MOTHER.

Standing I'm row,
Homeless little orphans,
Knew not where to 20.
Who had killed their mother7
That l cannot say;
But l know they found her
At five o'clock that day.
y Peepv' said the eldest,
Peep" the Others cried,
And to wake their mother
All in vain they tried.
Susie heard them calling,
Ran TO ask them why,
And her eyes that moment
Made their own reply.
Tender-hearted Susie
Tried to hide a tear;
Saw her mothers henuery
Standing empty near;
In it placed the chickens,
And above them spread
A nice, soft feather buster,
When they went to bed.
Six little chickens,
Fast asleep and warm, .t
Underneath the feathers,
Safe from every harm.
There each night they brooded.
Until almost grown;
Twas the queerest mother
That have ever known.

There is some talk of converting
the Legislature of New York in special
session in order that it may pass an
Electoral law which will insure the
whole or portion of the Electoral vote
of the State to the Republicans. 1t is
not probable, however, that the report
is well founded. The controlling ma
chine in New York does not take enough
interest in Garfield to resort in his be-
half to the desperate expedient the one
in question would be.-E1ch0nge.

in securing quiet evenings for both the
child and parent. Some mothers have

night in getting the baby asleep. They
