THE Ohio Legislature has a funn,

THE Ohio Legislature has funny
sman-a practical joker-a clown, if
you please. His name is Sawyer. In
an attack upon the Republican party,
on last Friday, Mr.. Sawyer asserted
that the Democratic party is a party
Of Reform-it has the word embla-
zoned on all it's banners, and engraft-
ed in all it's platforms, etc. As to it's
platforms, the Democratic party may
be considered a party Of reform, in
that it changes it's platform every two
years. As to it's banners, it does not
''set great store" by them-for Grant
met it under an apple tree, over in
Virginia, one day, and took away from
it every banner 1t possessed. 1t does
not make much difference what is en-
blazoned on Democratic banner.

There, for once, Bro. Chapman, you
are right. This everlasting talk about
fastening lot Of dead heads upon the
people, should be stopped. Gen. Grant
is great man, and deserves well of
his country, and the people will never
see him in want: but if he had not
sense enough to save a large sum out
of his three hundred thousand dollars
which he received in eight years as
President, he should at once have a

Spreading over the hills of Ohio.
See what the God of nature is spreading,
That we young bloods go Shedding.
Chorus: The snow, the beautiful snow,
That is spread DER the hills of Ohio.
Now nature is prepared to be free,
Oh! the grandeur in hill and tree
With all the art of sinful man,
We fail to grasp natures plan.

To draw winter scenery at Will;
Yes, to draft snow in the ril,
And sprinkle it DER tree and hill.
With all grandeur and beauty under the sun.
Was drawn by nature JAN IL. eighty-one,
In frosting sparkling diamonds pure

But, our Father from above,
Gives this emblem of pure love,
And bids come up from below,
And live and be pure like snow.
