THE CIEIMNEY,s SONG.


Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And the chanted melody no one knewj.
And the woman stopped as her baby she toss
ed,
And thought of the vne she had long since
lost, .D..-
And said, as her teardrops back she forced
III hate the wind In the chimney"
Over the chimney tho night wind sang,
And chanted melody no one knew;
And the children said, as they closer drew,
"'Tis some witch that is eIeaving the black
night through
'Tis fairy that just then blew,
And we fear the wind In the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted n melody no one knew;
And the man, as he sat on his hearth below,
Said to himself: "It win surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wages low
And I'll stop the leak in the chimney
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted n melody no one knew;
But the poet listened and smiled for he
Was man, and woman, aud chid--all three,
And he said: "Itis Gods own harmony,
The wind that sings In the chimney"

Sit closely by the evening fire,

Just think of him whose work thus help

And put this query to yourself

From east and west, from north and south,
From lands beyond the water,
He weekly brings you lots of news
From every nook and quarter;
No slave on earth tolls more than he,
Through summers heat and winter;
How can you for moment, then,
Neglect to pay the prlnterG
Your other bills you promptly pay,
Wherever you do go, so;
The butcher for his meat is paid,
For sundries is tho grocer;
The tailor and the shoemaker,
The halter and the winter;
All get their pay-then why neglect
To settle with the printer7

DEATH Of PRESIDENT JAMES A.
GARFIELD.

The news flashed over the wires last
Monday night that the work of GUlTEAu
had been contaminated, and President
JAMES A. GARFIELD lay dead in the cot
tage at Long Branch, by the side of the
moaning oceans pillows. Last Tuesday
beheld q nation in mourning and the
hearts of millions bowed in sorrow at this
great calamity.
JAMES A. GARFIELD was born in Ohio,
Ion December 10, 1881, and hence was
within three months of reaching his 50tl
;ear. He struggled manfully in hi.
Youthful days, against the iron hand Of
poverty, but by his indominitable vii
nd energy succeeded in obtaining goo,
,ducation at Williams Collegs, Massachu
;etts, of which institution he was gradu
tte. He then became Il teacher, and was
President of Hiram College, Ohio, fol
some time. Finally he adopted the lega
profession. ,......
His record as politician proclaims
how eminently successful he was in this
great arena of the American Republic
When % years Of age he was elected t.
5he Ohio Senate. When the war broke
,ut he abandoned this position ola civ
jlian and wentinto the army, and becameI
. Major General. During the war he was
elected to the United States Congress-
Here he served his State for eighteen con
secutiye years, up to the time of his elec-
zion to the Presidency. In Conyre IS he
is described as having been "a ready and
forcible, at times eloquent debater, and
never failed to command attention. His
name is identified with all the leading
measures of the most eyentful era in the
history of our country"
Such is the brief and concise synopsis
Of the history of this remarkable President.
Since his election his record is prOminen,
i'm the minds Of the American people.
Elected fairly by a majority of the cleo
coral vote, he assumed the direction OF
public affairs, regardless of party claims
and his memorable contest with the stall.
wart or Conkling wing Of his own party
lis fresh in the minds of the people, He
was looked upon rs one who would gov
arn this mighty people with even-handed
Justice regardless of party of sectional
claims.
When stricken down by the assassin's
bullet, the spontaneous ontb4rst of sym
pathy from all sections, sects, classes and
parties exhibit how strong was his hold
lpon the affection Of the people. The pa
ticnce, forbearance and quletude which
has reigned and ruled during the long
weeks of his illness, are remarkable in
dorsment of our free institutions.
President Garfield is dead and the peo-
people tnrn with no little anxiety and
with jealous scrutiny to the course which
Vice President Arthur will pursue as the
successor of this generally beloved and
President of the American
Republic.

dominant feeling in this land. Yet, at
