Seeing A Man Home.

L picked Simmons up pretty near
drunk, and took him home. When got
to his house, as thought, I shook him a
bit, and said, "Here you are" Fright, I"
said he, and gave big bang to the
knocker. Up went window.
'FWho's there?" screamed q woman.
t1 have brought the old man home, I"
said I
"An rightl' she cried, and came to
the door.
She Immediately seized hold of Sim,
mons, and gave him such shaking that
his teeth seemed to rattle in his head.
"Who are you shaking OFF" says he:
Goodness graciousl" cried the wo-
man, 'ithat's not my husbands voice." I
Immediately struck a match, and she
found she had been shaking the wrong
man. ''There," said she, furiously, ''Tve
been setting up here, expecting my hus-
band home drunk, and now I've been
wasting my strength on a stranger"
'Don't he live herep said /.
''No," said the woman, she don't"
''What made you knock?" asked Sim
mons.
'Knock, said he, 'tyou told me to. :"
'1 thought you lived here" I" said I.
.'Glad I don't" said he.
1 suppose he was thinking of the shak-
ing he'd had. At last I found where he
did live, and got him home. As soon as
ever we knocked, out she came. "OhI'
says she, you're the wretch as makes
my poor husband drunk, are you?" and
she caught me slap across the face. I've
never seen q drunken man home since.

tRead at the centenary of the American Academy
of Arts and Science.l
Dear ancient school-boysi Nature taught to them
The simple lessons of the star and flower,
Showed them strange sights; how on nngle stem
Admire the marvels Of Creative Poweri-
Twin apples grew, one sweet, the other sour.
How from the hilltop where our eyes behold
In even ranks the plumed and hammered maize
Range ite long columns, In the days of old
The live volcano shot its angry blaze
Dead since the showers OF Noah's watery days
How, when the tightening split the mighty rock,
The spreading fury Of the shaft was spent;
And when aud where the homeless sparrows went
To pass the winter of their discomfort.
Scant the gleamings in those years of deerth;
No Culver yet had clothed the fossil bones
That slumberedr waiting for their second birth;
No LyelI read the legend Of the stones;
Science still pointed TO her empty thrones.
Dreaming of orbs to eyes of earth unknown,
Herschel looked heavenward in the starlight pale;
Iapiaoe @ stood % mute sS before the Ell lifted veil;
While home-bred Humboldt trimmed his toy
ships sail
No mortal feet those loftier nights had gained
Whence the wide realms of nature we descry:
In vain their eyes our longing fathers strained
10 scan with wondering gaze the submits high
That far beneath their children,s footpaths lie.
Smile at their first small ventures as we may,
Thsir grateful memory fills our hearts to-day;
Brave, hopeful, wise, this bower of peace they
planned,
While vars dread plovshars SCARED the suffering
land.
Child Of our chiIdren's children yet unborn,
When on this yellow page you turn your eyes,
Where the biief record Of this May-day morn
In phase antique and faded letters lies,
How vague, how pale our fitting ghosts viii risei
Yet In our veins the blood ran warm and red,
For US the fields were green, the skies were blue
Though from our dust the spirit long has fed.
We lived, we loved, we toiled, We dreamed like
you,
Smiled at our hres and thought how much We
knew.
Oh might our spirits for one hour return,
When the next century rounds its hundreth ring,
AL the strange secrets 1t shall teach to learn,
TO hear the large truths its years shall bring,
Its wiser sages talk, its sweeter minstrels sin9l

Temperance.

We meant to have said something on
the subject of temperance last week, when
the matter was first brought up. But
perhaps it is not too late now Temper
ance is something that is destined to play
an important part In the future of this
country, for although it has been referred
to incidentally by great number of per-
sons In times past, it is only lately that
people have found out there was any
money in it. A few years ago man
could open a saloon and wealth would
pour In upon him, as the profit on drink
of whisky or beer was three bundled per
cent. but temperance lecturer could not
make his salt But now this has all
changed There is so much competition
in the saloon business, and prices and
taxes are figured so close that only few
saloon-keepers clear cent at the end of
the year, while temperance lecturers,
especially if they have been star drunk
ards sometime, can rake in their two
of it against day of sickness or trouble
or relapse. It win be seen, therefore,
that temperance has made rapid strides
during the past few years, and its future
is bright with promise. Another thing is,
lnab aS long aS bnefo Was sOtt OF StlSInu
resting on the profession of whisky selling,
and men who dealt out the 'Iquid damn
alton to poison their fellow men," drink.
ing was popular and great many drank
because it was cunning, and they felt
they were doing cute thing to break
the law. But now that liquor selling has
become open, and sanctioned by the law,
and liquor sellers are elected to Office and
considered as good as anybody, people do
not care so much about drinking There
is no longer any fun in it, and it has fall
en- into disfayor, or rather into disuse,
and has become unpopular. On the other
hand temperance has come up from al
most nothing and is now the best busi-
ness man can go iLto, and field is thus
opened for the industrious youth Of our
land to gain q start in life when all other
avenues to fortune seemed closed. ALI
that is needed is foa law to make it illegal
to talk temperance. and give liquor sellers
the freest range, and there would be such
wave of temperance sweep over this
country as would make saloon-keepers
look sick. The law has too long been on
the side of whisky-seling, and it is time
it was changed and the temperance peo-
pie given chance.-Mil,oGukee Sun.

The Woman Who Writes.

We all remember the strange nSue
woman in David Copperfeld," who
kept Steerforth's nails In order for him
and rendered similar service to other folk
for moderate hire. Her industry was
not stranger than is that of little
woman here in New York whose business
it is to write notes for fashionable women
whose Incidence or lack of skill in PEN
manship or In the art of epistolary COM
position forbids them to write notes for
themselves. This obscure worker knows
how to turn sentences cleverly; she can
say graceful things gracefully; she can
write note which sparkles all over with
good humor and effects its purpose.
This is her skill, her equipment, her
capital In life. OF its kind il is as genu-
inc as any. The things that she knows
how to doare things that need to be done.
There Is as positive need for her skill
as for that of the plumber-n we may
imagine plumber who really has skill
and, however completely without recog-
milton her business may be among trades
and professions, it is as legitimate as any.
There are women who cannot write the
notes and letters required Of them with
satisfaction to themselves, and other
women who can do so but dislike the oc-
cupation, and many of them are glad to
pay for the service. The professional
letter-writer has managed to discover
this need and to turn it to account in Sc
curing employment for herself. She has
many clients. Some of them engage her
for specified hours of each day, to write
whatever notes there may be occasion to
send, while others employ her only upon
Darticular occasions where there is more
writing than usual to be done. Her e1-
periences are varied and interesting.
Sometimes she has to preserve answers to
notes that she has herself written upon
few occasions, when invitations not yet
received were known to be coming, she
had to prepare answers to them at one
house before writing them at the other,
but being discreet little body she keeps
her own counsel in such cases, and does
not reveal the nature of the replies, al
ready prepared, to the client whose in
vitations they are meant to answer

honest in their search for a pure candi-
date, they did not find him in Garfield.
AS for his running qualities we are
candidly of the opinion they will be
principally confined to Ohio, to the
Western Reserve. What should make
him strong in New York, New Jersey or
Connecticut? Is his opposition to the
Chinese legislation of last year likely to
obtain for him votes on the Pacific
Slope, or his ultra-tariff notions produc-
tive of popularity in Illinois? This is all
debatable territory, and will be sure to
be carried next November by the man
who comes nearest to the specifications.
Mr.. Garfield may carry Ohio, but
with the right nomination at Cincinnati
he cannot carry California, Oregon, Ne
vada, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, New
Hampshire or Maine. When he sits
down and adds the votes of these eleven
Northern States to "the solid South" he
can family begin to realize what asses
the delegates to the Chicago Convention
made of themselves when, in attempting
to get away from Grant, they rushed to
him.

The Indiana Democracy.

We give the following synopsis of the
resolutions adopted by the Democrats of
Indiana in State Convention at Indianap-
oils ON the 9th inst.
1. To stand in unity and give the convention
to be held at Cincinnati their earnest support;
date.
2. To defeat all class Legislation and favorit-
ism In government affairs, and induce only such
laws as are in the public good; to levy taxes
justly and the more rigid economy used in pub
lie expenses. That elections be fair, and not
under the influence of either army or partisan
officers; that the rightful jurisdiction of State
Courts be restored.
8. That coin and paper money be of uniform
value, and have as great purchasing power as
the money of other frst-class commercial coun-
tries; that the paper be furnished by the United
States, but not In excess to make it at par with
coin, and taxed as other money.
4 The action of the Democratic members of
Congress in reducing the public expense be
gratefully remembered by tax payers.
8. To oppose the aggression of the Republi-
can leaders upon the rights of the States; to
maintain the constitutional rights and powers
Of the United States, and to vindicate them.
g. The legislation of 1879, redeeming the
pledge of the Democratic Convention Of 1876
in providing for the comforts and safety of the
laborers in the mines and securing their wages
to the persons employed by corporations be

membered for their action IN respect to boun-
ties and pensions paid to soldiers and their

8. That the outrage upon free government
practiced by the Repuplicans in the past be
unforgiven, and that the guilty party be driven
from power and consigned to infamy.
10. That the people be grateful to heaven for
the returning prosperity, and not to blashem-
ous men who claim the work as their own.
IL. That the sentiments, of abolishment, OF
Governor Hendricks, upon the coolie system be
approved. - .5A -.
IL. That the State administration be entitled
to due respect
Is. That the rights of the colored citizen b
recognized, but the paupers imported by the
Republicans to be denounced as voters.
