HOME AGAIN.

Och! mother dear, I'm comm home,
Pm growin' ould, my health is breakin',
I've been to Delhi an to Rome,
10 the Crimaya an to Paykin
I've won some medals, an they say
The Victoria cross is thought a lot of,
But-troth felt the other day
I'd rather have the leg they shot off
Pve seen quare places, purity spots,
That id make yer eyes open wide wild won
dher,
Their names id tie yer tongue in knots,
Even Father Thade himself id blundher.
It's mighty grand St. Pether's dome,
But faith ak his saintshp's pardon,
For prayin' there 1 thought of home,
OF the old mud hut an pratee garden.
Well, thin, the Rooshian girls wor kind,
An on the sly l often kissed them,
But Molly darlin' needn't mind,
Shure Rooshia's fur, she never missed them
An in the night, when loved vans came,
Dear Molly's lips to mine wor pressin',
Thin wakin' from that pleasant dhrame,
felt an angel left her blessin'.
So back, dear mother, I'll come home,
Forget the past an how I spint il;
My heart is whole an all yer own,
Except the spot that Molly rinted.
An vance Pm home, full three-quarther
I'll make my darlin'-not betther half
Or av die upon the wather
Pll--send my ghost by telegraph.

MY PRECIOUS BOY.

A little golden head with silk-soit curls,
A rose-red mouth, 'broidered with milk-white-
pearls;
Two great, round, dark-lringed eyes, of
heavens own hue
Bright with the pure young. child-soul shining
through
A smile as sweet as the suns earliest ray,
Gliding with hope the birth of a new day;
Aripplmg laugh o'erbrimming with glad mirth,
A soul as yet unstained by aught of earth.
Oh! little life laden with hopes and fears,
Heir to a legacy of smiles and tears;
God keep thee pure and true as thou art now,
No trace of sin or sorrow stain that brow;
Thy life-path prove happy, rose-strewn way,
Thy death the dawning of an endless day.

had dawned upon her, "No-the train

wait now-six months more,"-and the
tears began to flow afresh.
She had squandered the success that

upon the capricious, semi-maudlin utter

Garfield on the Tariff.

The local and sectional aspects of the tariff
question were considered by General Garfield
in speech on the Wood tariff bill in 1878,
though he did not treat the subject as General
Hancock has in making 1t matter Of local
option at district school meetings. General
Garfield said:
But wish to say, Mr.. Chairman, that
have no sympathy with those who approach
this question only from the stand point of their
own local, selfish interest When man
comes to me and says: "Put prohibitory duty
on the foreign articles which compete viii my
product, that may get rich more rapidly"
ae e Uss %Sen mot saohs1 as
to the manufacturing industries, for am not a
manufacturer and do Eot care to have them
sustained say that he, too, is equally mer-
cenary and unpatriotic. If we were to legis-
late in that spirit, I might turn to the gentle
to vote for an appropriation to build court
house or a post Office in your city; / never ex-
pect to get any letters from that Office, and the
people of my district never expect to be in
your courts" If we were to act in this spirit
of narrow isolation we should be unfit for the
national positions we occupy.
Too much of our tariff discussion has been
warped by narrow and sectional considera-
tions. But when we base our action upon the
conceded national importance of the great in
the fact that artisans and their products are
essential to the well-being of our country, it
follows that there is nc dweller in the hum
blest cottage on our remOtest frontier who has
not deep personal interest in the legislation
that shall promote these great national indus.
tries. Those arts tia enable our nation to
rise in the scale of civilization bring their
blessings to all, and patriotic citizens will
:heerfully bear fair share of the burden nee
essary to make their country great and self
sustaining. will defend tariff that is ma
IioDal in its aims, that protects and sustains
those interests without which the nation can
not become great and self-sustaining.
So important, in my view, is the ability of
the nation to manufacture all these articles
necessary to arm, equip, and clothe our people,
that if it could not be secured in any other
way would vote to pay money out of the fed
eral treasury to maintain government iron
and steel, woollen and CT tton mills at what
ever cost. Were we to NEGLECT those great in
terests and depend upon other nations, in
what a condition of helplessness would we find
ourselves when we should be again involved
in war with the very nations on whom we
were depending to furnish us these supplies?
The system adopted by our fathers is wiser,
for it SO encourages the great national indus
tries as to make it possible at all times to equip
themselves for war, and at the same time in
crease their intelligence and skill so as to
make them better fitted for all the duties Of
citizenship both in war and in peace. We pro-
vide for the common defence by system
which promotes the general welfare.
