WHERE Is yEsTERpAYs ?


"Mother some thing want to know.
Which puzzle and confuse me So
To-day is present as you soy
But tell me, Where is Yesterday
II did rot see It as it went;
only know how it was spent
In play and pleasure, though in rain:
Then why won't It come back again?
To-day the sun shines bright and clear
But then To morrow's drawing near.
10 day--Oh do not go away
And vanish like dear Yesterday.
"'Tis when the sun and all the light
Has gone, and darkness brings the night,
1t seems to me, you steal away,
And change your name to Yesterday.
"Apd will all Time be just tho same?
To day the only name remains?
And shall always have to say,
Tomorrow, you'll be Yesterday?
II wonder when we go to heaven,
If there record will be given
Ofall our thoughts and all our wayo
Writ on the face of Yesterday?
"If so pray God grant to me
That mine nobie life may be.
For there I'll greet with joyous gaze
The dear lost face of-Yesterdays."

Inny give him the additional chance to

When Thorp was nominated for the
Legislature General Garfield was brows.
iny at his home in Mentor, making hay
r4r. One day, whilee taking aI.'Iu. a naptn "a
the porch, the General was surpr'ssd,
Ashtabula member. Said be: "General,
| have always been your friend. ht. .
Just been nominated fn my District for
the Legislature, and for the express pur.

II am glad Of that" said the President

you will be elected"
~ have no doubt Of that" said Thorp;
"the only thing I need ia little help Il
conducting the campaign. So thought
| would run over and ask Of you loan
of $500 to help me out"
This blunt request on the part of Thorp
rather struck Garfield after the fashion of
u moral shock, so to speak, but bracing
himself up, he said: .
ITO tell yuu the truth, Thorp, haven't
got $500. I am willing to help you any
way can. All the ready money have
in about $l5, and if that will do you any
good, you are entirely welcome to it."

that ! might find you out of funda. So,

Cleveland, and was told by its President
that if yon would indorse my note for

Now, Garfield having said to Thorp he
was willing 70 do all he could to help
him, here was ais chance. While re-.
aeeting for moment, Thorp added:
"Yes, General, the bank will let mo
have ste money, 40 I have drawn up q
note and have signed it. Ali you have
to do is TO put your name on the back
General Garfield took the note which
Thorp handed him, aud passed into the

signature, when, as quick as fash, he

''Thorp," said he, "I can't endorse this

the majority of the Directors In tho bank
which offer to discount the note are Dem.

| BUN MADE FROM OLD SHOES. In
the course of the investigation Of the
census authorities appointed to collect
statistics OF manufactures in this city, il
was found that some use was made Of old
shoes, but exactly what use WAS hard to
find out. Large numbers were sold by
| rag -pickers 10 certain men who disposed
of them at good prices. II is we'll known
that bits Of old leather make the com.
mercial article known 40 Prussan blue.
but only few firms manufacture il. and
the new call WAS evidently for some other
purpose. IN New York city ard Brook.
Ign about three million pairs of old shoe.
are thrown away every year. Formerly
old shoes were plentiful in the gutters OF
certain neigbborhoods now it appears
that they are sought after as choice
prizes in the rag. .pickor's line. BY dint
OF Perseveriug inquiry, 1t was discovefed
that the old shoes were used for three
purposes. First, all shoes not completely
worn out are patched, CREASED, and after
being otherwise rcgenerated. sold TO men
who deal in such wares. Some persons
wear one shoe much more than the other:
these dealers find mates for shoes whose
original mates are past hope. Secondly,

and allowed TO stand for few weeks.
the product far surpassing the Jamaica
rum made with essence, burnt sugar and
spirits. a gentleman who doubted the
truth Of this story stopped recently ut
low grog shop in the neighborhood of the
factory spoken of, and inquired if they
had any rum from old shoes. "No." snid
the barkeeper, eve don't keep it much
now. The druggists, who want pure
article, all sell it, and the price has gone

= The Republicans will not have any
surplus ability in the next House. Frye,
'heir best man, will go to the Senate
when Blaine is promoted to Garfeld's
right hand. Hawlcy goes to the Senate
Conger, the blatant, also rises to the
superior house. Burrows, of Michigan,
who aspires to be Speaker, is small
man, and 30 are most Of the wouId-be
leaders of tho coming majority. 1t is
said that the strictest party domination
will be maintained. Contested elections
will be decided from nearly every South.
ern State. Joe Wheeler, of Alabama,
will probably lose his seat. and Chalmers.
Of Mississippi, is on the anxious scat.
The South Carolina contests are more
doubtful. The fact that the Republican ny
are disputing every seat, save one, for
that State, throws suspicion on their
ctirse. BY the time the "purging" Of
the next House is done the Republicans
will have as good working majority rs
they want.
