Ir is am old saving that people gel

IT is an old saying that people gen.
orally value a thing by the amount
it costs them, which accounts for their
voting to restore the Republicans to
power in the face of the recorded fact
that during the three years last past,
while Congress has been in the control
of the Democrats, the appropriations
have amounted to SIS, ,27O, ,2S6 less than
those made during the three preceding
years of Republican rule. But when
the Radical party have fully carried
out their cherished ideas destroyed
the greenbacks, demonetized silver,
given the control of the finances of
the country into the kind care and
keeping of mammoth corporate mo-
nopolies, stripped the states and people
of all their reserved rights, and fully
ushered in the empire-a deluded peo-
pie may begin 10 realize the fact that
they have paid rather dear for their tin
toOt horns.

THE GOLDEN WEDDING DAY
OF Mr.. and Mrs. AIansOn Crafts.
June gath, 1880.

Juno S4ths ISSOs
Under the homestead roof they stand,
s Where peace e'cr broodeth like a dove,
There years ago, with hand in hand.
They took the sacred pledge Of love.
Bright days, times flock OF happy birds
Have flown in joyousness away. ..-.
And life has lisped in pleasant words
Its blessings sweet from day to day.
They've crossed the bridge that stretches wide
From infancy to ripe old age. @
And read the lessons ne'er denied
To those who open wisdom's page.
They've garnered much. they've suffered loss.
They We shared in fortune 5 smile and frown.
Together they've borne many GROSS.
Together they now wear loves crown.
Swift AS the river to the sea,
Their never ceasing courses run.
Their years have flowed on silently,
Aad life at las is almost done.
Full half a century since their vow.
Of love was made. has passed away.
Life's closing hour is near, and now
1t is their golden wedding day.
Round them gather daughters, a son,
Grand children, too, hanpy throng,
The faithful and the loving ones.
The kind brave hearts. the true and strong.
FROM distant uOmeS, Win loves uesISu
These hearts their pilgrimage have made.
And on affections hallowed shrine
Their choicest offerings have made.
They bring no gems from India's mines.
Nor woven fabrics rich and rare,
Nor paintings old. nor sparkling wines.
Nor sculptor's work beyond compare;
But with the noblest thoughts Imbued
Which flial duty e'er imparts,
They bring the gifts OF gratitude.
The coinage of devoted hearts.
So meets the rosy morn of life
o.. With life's refining evening shade.
SO middle age foregoes its strife
Till love has its full homage paid;
: The air of voices sweet is stirred.
And song and merriment beguile;
No sounds save those of joy are heard.
No look is given but wears a smile.
Heaven bless and keep you children all.
Thus speak the happy aged twain,
May no i'll fortune you befall.
Nor loss of friendship cause you pain.
Heaven bless you. and protection give
Through all your varying life for aye,
And may You ali. dear children. live
~ 70 greet your golden wedding day.

Principles live longer than men or
parties, though Democratic principles
are about cO-existant with the Demo.
cratic party. ThOse who have advO-
Gated the adoption of the principles OF
the party need not fear that the ideas
embraced in past platforms are lost be-
cause the candidates chosen to repre-
sent them lave been defeated. A sue
cessiOn of defeats should only intensi-
fly the desire of true patriots to work
harder for their maintenance. One
drop in the bucket, more or less, sig
nifies but little. Defeat should only
stimulate to effort for victory.
The principles of the Democratic
party can never be obliterated from
the minds of those who came here
from foreign shores to find homes.
They are settled forever. They are
free speech, a free ballot and fair
count free trade as far as it consists
with the necessities of the government
for revenue; an effort to make this. a
refuge for the oppressed of all nations:;;;
a desire, which may be emphasized, to
make of the republic a government OF
the people, for the people and by the
people. The Democratic party is es-
pecially the party of the people. 1t
does not echo the sentiments of u class
are toiling for daily bread.
The Democratic party may go down
with the simeon that swept the country
on Tuesday, but the principles it has
sustained will live forever. The party
may die, but the theories it advocates
will survive it. 1t will be shown ere
many days that the Democratic party
has been battling for the principles
that are essential in conserving the
rights of the people-that the candi-
dates of the party were representatives
of those rights rather than of the local
or personal interests that may have
been involved in the contest. They
represent principles rather than men,
and it is vital that they should be
chosen to administer the affairs of Of
flee. Though they have met disas-
trous rout in the present instance, they
are sure to come up at the next emer-
gency, and labor earnestly in the cause
in which they have. enlisted. They
are always reliable, and the theories
they sustain are more reliable still

schools Themselves are much at fault IN net
providing facilities for teaching this branch OF
art-work, and the very first thing for them TO
do is to establish classes in wood od-engraving
under the charge of competent masters. There
is no question that a good engrayer on wood
can get good living. There is a good deal of
question as to whether an excellent painter or
sculptor can get his bread by his work. Pic
lures are luxunes, while engravings are lnthe
line OF great business enterprises that demand
and must have them.
There is prejudice among artlsticilly in
clined people against the work OF the engraver.
1t is widely regarded as pretty purely mechani-
cal, but, in these days, it takes an artist to en-
grave, and men can make great regulations IN
the art-world as engravers. Mr.. Linton, Mr..
Anthony, Mr.. Cole and Mr.. Marsh are eminent
men-men as well and favorably known as the
best Of our artists, and known for the same
reason, VIZ: that they are artists.
In order to attract attention TO this most
important field OF art-work, we have concud-
ed to offer three premiums to pupils for the
best work as follows: 800, S75, and $50,
ASapCNbNClys W huS ulS's scNOuu luuu DCSt
specimens OF woodengravlng, produced and
sent to this Office any time during the present
year, 1880, bv pupils In any art-school or under
any private teacher in the United States. We
shall need to see only proofr, accompanied By
the teachers certificate that the comp ettor
submitting them is in reality pupil who has
never done engraving for the public or for
pay.
We propose, as the board OF judges, Mr..
Alexander w. Drake, superintendent OF the
department OF illustration in Scribners Month
ly and ST. Nicholas Mr.. Timothy Cole, prac
teal engraver of the first rank, and Mr.. Theo-
dore l.. De vlnne, who is probably the best
printer OF wood-engraung in the United
States. We can assure all competitors that
they will have at the hands OF this board COM
petent and fair treatment. It's declsion will be
rendered January 1st, 1880, and the awards will
be promptly made. In case any pupil wishing
to compete has really done unimportant work
for pay, he or she shall send proofs Of it, and
the judges shall decide at discretion whether it
is important enough to vitiste the claim to be
considered still pupil.

TOO MANY LAWYERS.

Letter 10 New York Times.
The alacrlty-anxiety almost-v,tb which
young men fly to the law, would lead the un
initiated to suppose that that pursuit above ali
Others, was the safe, sure road TO fortune
Parents seem in terrible plight nowadays in
regard to the employment which their son are
to have. But their perplexty does not last
very long, and, on some fine day, all OF a snd-
den, decision has been reached to send THAR
boy to law Office. To do what? We answer.
to spend few years earning p:ttance barely
sufficient to provide him with suitable clothing
and shoes. During his clerksbip he acquires.
It is true, a little knowledge OF law, but. being
poor and without friends. he encounters I'D
told hardships when he starts out for himself.
IL is otherwise, however, II this new limb OF
the law be the son OF wealthy parents. Then be
can bide his time, and give himself no anxiety
about Office rent aud other necessary expenses.
The privatlons and straits OF hundreds OF
momters o. the legal profession in th,s
city would hardly be credited il told IN
detail. Yet. in spite or this, and OF the sup
ply exceeding greatly the demand, the burn
ing desire to join the ranks OF the profession
is so great as 10 be called fanatica The truth
is tha only oneffth of the 6.00O lawyers or
this city earn livelihood and do something
better than exist. The rest are half the time
doing nothing, dunned by their landlords, tail
ors, shoemakers and every class of tradesmen.
Like Cain, everybodys hand is against them,
60 not give too high color to facts, and u
would afford me no little happiness 10 know
that have been the means OF discoursgng q
few out OF the many who are contemplating
choice OF the legal profession. Keep away,
gentlemen, If you have any respect for your
selves. Ambition and fame aside. you must
be prepared to suffer greatly N body and in
mind, and to have frequent recourse TO shifts
which you would gladly avoid, but that the
wolf is st the door.

agriculture and the mechanical pursuits no
longer. There, at least, their children can earn
decent livelihood, and be respected and hon

HEALTH IN THE ScHooLs.-Wiam Balkie,
the author Of How to be strong, and how to
stay so, spoke before the Brooklyn teschers'
association on Physical education. I want,
said he, to see il in an informal talk We can't
hit upon some way in which we can bring the
physical education OF school children down
to practical basis. Our children, who are
healthy and buxom when they begin school
work, come out pale, sickly and with found
shoulders. II you require the children under
you to sit far back on a char and 10 hold their
chins up you will cure them OF beng round
shouldsred, and the lungs and other vital or
gans will have free and healthy play. Another
simple plan is TO have the children bend over
backward until they can see the ceiling. This
exercise for few minutes each day wall work a
wonderful transformation. II well-quaified
teacher could be employed to superintend the
physical development OF the children, the best
results would be seen. Or. Sargent now the
superintendent OF the Harvard gymnasium
who formerly had charge OF a gymnasium in
New York, has no equal as teacher CT simple,
efHcacious means by which the weak parts or
ones body may be developed think it would
be well for you to send some competent ply
scian to him TO take lessons, and then the es-
ercises could be taught to your teachers. The
first steps should be simple and econom'csl.
Exercises OF the simplest kind can begin With
out any apparatus"

THE SCRIBNER PRIZES FOR WOOD
ENGRAVING.

The American superiority in the matter OF
wood engraving having been recently widely
recognized In England and America, the editor
Of scribner, in the April number, with the
desire to stimulate the art, offers several
premiums, for works by pupils, In the following
article:
One OF the sad thlngs-almost the only sad
thing-connected with the tremendous popu-
lar interest in art that has been developed in
America within the last few years, s that there
are multtudes engaged in !ts study with the
utterly futile hope that in some way they can
make it a source OF livelihood to them. How
many women there are at this moment paint
ing porcelain, and dreaming OF returns, who
Will never realize n penny from their enter
PRISE, the public will never know, but the num-
Der is very large. The young men and young
women in the various art-schools, learning to
draw. are most OF them looking forward to a
life of remuneratlve art-work which will never
be accomplished. Lacking invention, genius,
originality, they will not be able to produce
pictures that will sell, and they will be much
d sappointed.
The marvel to US is that 60 few, in the pres
ence OF notorious facts suggesting opposite
action, should think OF becoming engravers
upon wood. The busiest people In the United
States are wood -engravers. We do not know
Of one who has not all he can do, and more,
too. Every good engraver is busy up to the
measure OF his strength and endurance, and
even the commonplace and poor engravers
have their hands full OF commonplace and
poor work, of which there is an enormous
amount done IN this country. There is vast
field for this latter work in all sorts OF illu-
minated catalogues, aud second and third rate
periodicals; and the field promises to become
larger rather than smaller We feel that art
