But she already had pilot, and paid no attention

seriousness of steamer catching is well illustrated
by this matter of dressing to board them. One of
our pilots told us that he had actually shaved and

The American Producer.

Give me the blue of the bending sky,
Ger the land of the freeman hung,
And the bright, full beams of the sun on high,
While the hymn of the free is sung;
oh, ne'er was the sky DER land like ours
Bent down with its arch of blue,
Or joytully wept in the crystal showers.
Or gemmed the glad earth with dew.
Give me the land where the plough bright share
Turns wealth from the virgin soil,
Nor melts in the forge where the vucans bear
sword for the warriors spoil;
Not the song of the soldiers bloody trade.
Nor tie trumpet's startling twang,
But the vow of peace on the altar laid,
Round the hearthstone fondly sang.
Oh, bright the land where the golden grain
Waves over the fertile fields,
And the tall, ripe corn on the spreading plain
Its harvest of bounties yields
Where the sounding fail, as it swings air
Falls fast on the threshing floor,
And the Autumn sun shows the tOllers there
With the gold dust covered DER.
Let the broad land wake in its proudest bloom,
In the light of our broader skies
Let the anvil, plough and the busy loom
In their power and grandeur rise
Let the workers all. in their we'll paid toll
Rejoice with a labor song,
And the blessing of God on the uncovered soil
Be sought by the trusting throng.
Let the woman sing as he tills the land,
And follows the shining plough
Let the toiler sing. as he lifts his hand,
Oft wlping his sweating brow
Let the maiden sing! Let the anvil ring
And the radiant truth be told
That the labor of home, in its fruits. shall bring
4 truer wealth than gold
Then give me the blue of the bending sky,
Ger the land of the freeman hung
And the bright, full beams of the sun on high
While the hymn of the tree is sung.
Oh, neer has a sky DER land like ours
Bent down with its arch Of blue,
Or joyfuly wept in its crystal showers
Or gemmed the glad earth with dew

The Duty Of the Hour.

We heartily endorse the wisdom and
good sense OF the following from the
Philadelphia Press Of Tuesday. Prcsi-
dent Arthur deserves the confidence and
support Of the people. If he proves him
self unworthy,it will then be time to con
denim or censurc. Let us hope he may
take up the administration where the Ia
mented Garfield left it, and pursue the
same wise policy which his predecessor
had mapped out. Ifhe does, all will go
well. He will be honored, the country
will prosper and the Republican party
strcngthcned:,
We have lost James A. Garfield, buN
we have still President. Chester A.
Arthur is now President Arthur and it is
the plain duty of all good citizen to give
him their well wishes and support. He
enters upon the duties Of his Office under
circumstances SO painful and peculiar
that every step must be attended with
embarrassment and difficulty unless the
people recognize their duty and give him
the assistance of a generous confidence.
His course since the fatal day on which
the late President was strhck down has
been such as to command the adniratlo
of even his enemies. An ordinary sense
of Justice will suggest to fair-minded men
Of every party and faction to suspend
Judgment until they have something to
Judge. The same votes that made Gar
field President made Arthur his legitimate
successor and he should be made to feel
that he has the same constituency behind
him ready to hold up his hands and
strengthen his purpose.
UnfaI orab.c reports Of the Presidents
condition have heretofore been attended
by fluctuations in the stock market. 1t is
therefore probable that the news of to-
day will operate sufficiently on the fears
of the credulouS to cause more or less of
q decline in stock quotations. AS there
is no reason for this at all the market
will speedily recover. The death Of Pres
ident Garfield will bring grief and disap-
polntment to every household in the land
but it can in no way affect the material
interests of the country. Everything
Will continue to move on as smoothly as
btfi re. There will be as much to sell
a q as many to buy to-day as yesterday.
The business of the country does not
hinge on the life or death of any one man.
Congress can affect it, but the President
III this respect can directly do but little.
The Secretary of the Treasury is the re-
poSitOry of whatever power tlr Admins
tration possesses over the course of bus
mess, and there is no reason to apprehend
any change in the present Treasury poll
cy. While we deplore the occasion
which has called General Arthnr to the
Presidency, there is no occasion for
alarm in business or for distruSt Of the
new President. While the nation
mourns her loss she can still look for
ward with unabatcd confidence to her
future.
