GoRHAM CHIPS IN.

National Republican: 1.-THE crisis
met" The republican senators have
almost as one man rejected, and most of
them have urged the withdrawal Of the
nomination of Robertson. They have
been met with the arrogance and OBJ
stinacy of 8 weak man Rdhering to q
wrong act. To enable the state of New
York to decide for herself how her inter-
es.s can best be subserved in the Senate,
Senators Conkling and Plstt have re-
signed their seats in that body.
She will be able to choose from among
her eligible statesmen, two senator's who
will come Instructed as to her will. New
York is the peer of any other state; she
has been potent in the senate VI der all
party dynssties; she does not go back
and will not grovel in the dust nor be the
footstool OF executive power. Her motto
is Excelsior" Her senators will not
"sdvise" the President to make an IN
worthy appointment, nor will they bssely
consent" to one as the price of official
favor. In crisis like this, when On ar
bitrary order is made by the President for
senatorial submission to question,
which under the Constitution toe SEN
ators are to decide on their oaths, IN
awed by power and uninfuenced by 're-
wards" the senators from New York
have done well to resist the executive
mandate, and to return their commits
sions to the power that gave them. The
result will not depress their friends, the
republicans. The new senators will be
instructed by the facts under which they
will be elected. They will no. be crea-
lures who can be made to stand on their
hind legs at the White house entrance
and bark for thei bones OF ofice in the
hands Of president, obliviOus of the
limitations upon his lawful power; but
they will be men earnest Of consideration,
courageous Of action in every situation
the enemies of the republican party and
of the Constitution and government can
create.

THE SWEDISH WIFE.

II the State House at Augusta, Me-, is q
'bunca of cedar shingles made by Swedish
of New Sweden who, with her husband sick
and family of little ones dependent upon
her. made with her own hands these shingles,
ana s carried them upon her back eight miles to
the town of Caribou, where she exchanged
them Tor provisions for her family.
The morning sun shines bright and clear.
Clear and coid,Hor winter is near
Winter, the chill and dread;
And the fire burns bright in the exile's home,
With fagot OF fir from the mountains dome,
While the children clamor for bread.
Against the wall stands the idle wheel,
Unfinished the thread upon spindle and reel,
The empty cards are crOst;
but nigh TO the hearthstOne sits the wife.
With cleaver and mallet-so brave and biithe,
She fears no famine or frost.
FAR and soft are her braided locks,
And the light in her blue eye merrily mocks
The shadow OF want and fear;
AS deftly, with fingers supple and strong,
She draws the glittering shave along,
Ger the slab of cedar near.
Neatly and close are the shingles laid,
Bound in a bunch.-then, undismayed,
The Swedish wife uprose;
BE patient. my darlings," she blithely said,
II 90 to the town and you shall have bread,
Ere the day has reached its close"
Eight miles she trudged,-'twas weary way:
The road was rough and the sky grew gray
With the snow that sifted down;
Bent were her shoulders beneath their load.
But high was her heart, for love was the goad
That urged her on to the town.
Ere the sun went down was her promise kept.
The little ones feasted before they slept:
While the father, sick in bed,
That his household darlings might never know
A lack of their daily bread.

The teacher arose Immediately after
he called the school to order. There
was look of pain on his gentle face
and he seemed to be feeling for an ap-
pie in his coat tail pockets, but he was
not. He was feeling for something.
but it was not an apple, and it was not
in his pocket. He glanced around the
school. and every face was either Obliv-
ious or mischievous, except Walter
Cranes. And Walter Cranes face,
bent over his Latin grammar, had such
a profoundly studious expression, it was
so suDlimely free from guilt; it was so
angelically innocent, the teacher called
him to the big desk, and as Walters
wondering eyebrows arched themselves
into silent but expressive interrogation
points, the teacher handled long
switch and said: 8: Yes Walter, yes; it
was very neatly done, and now if you
will just stand out here for one minute
1 will show you just about where that
pin caught me-"
And he showed him, not once but
many times, to the great disgust of stu.
dious Walter Crane, and the infinite de-
light of all the rest of the school, and
more especially big Sammy johnson.
Did Walter Crane really put the pin in
the teachers chair, children? All, no,
indeed, and truly he didn't know q
thing about it. It was big Sammy
johnson, who grinned and rubbed his
hands every time Waiter hollered, -
who did it. Thus we see that some
times, in the study of physiognomy, the
wisest teacher will, as Herodotus OBJ
serves, bite off more than he can
w."-Burlington Hawk-Eye.

glorious light" Our esteemed contem-
porary has very Oriental way of say

isolated sentence: ''Until then we rest

some hours later to discover that the
whole edition had gone out to the pub
lie with the sentence: Until then we
rest upon our ears. ."-Oshkosh Aduocate.
