TO BESSIE L. II.

In after years when looking DER
Each name inscribed within your book,
Though many may interest You more,
Yet pass not mine without one look.
But three short months ago We met,
And hat as strangers too,
But neUeT, no neUer, viii l forget,
My little friend so good and true.
Your sweet bright face did come to me,
When clouds bscured my way;
And almost set the captive free,
Thou who art always so blithe and gay.
Dear orphan girl, you know no care,
On earth you are more than blest,
Health, grace and beauty are your share,
And a home with them you love best.
These gifts so rare with wisdom use,
And never stray from right;
A bright example always diffuse,
By serving God with with zeal and might
Always obey YOU darling Aunts
Who nursed you when a child;
Blot out the homely word L shan't,
For one more lovely, one more mild.
Adopt the words l can, will,
Their gentle rules obey,
And make it a point to try and fill,
A useful place from day to day.
Follow this advicem my little friend,
And you will ever find
Happiness that has no end,
With love and gratitude combined.
And now sweet Bessie, farewell farewell !
Words, poor words can never tell,
All the love I bear for thee,
And this the only boon I ask, that you'll
remember me. p. b. b.

A Parliamentary Boy.
Detroit Free Press.

Mr.. Rogers, of THIRD street, has
a son, Thomas, who was sent off to
Lansing on a visit some weeks
since, and it seems that the boy put
in much of his time around the State
House and took a deep interest in
the proceedings of the legislative
body. He came home chuck-full
of parliamentary tactics. At the
dinner table he moved to rec0nsid-
er the vote by which boiled ham
vas placed on the bill Of fare, and
demanded the ayeT and noes on the
question of a new pair of rubber
boots and Il spring velocipede. lie
hadn't been home two days before
he observed to his mother:

pantry"
"Y0u can't have it,"
"But l must. My motion cuts
off all debate, and | shall announce
the question as carried in the atfir-
native"
His father suggested the idea of
an hours exercise with an ak, but
the boy called for a general express
sion of opinion and succeeded in
passing "A vote to recOmmit the ques-
ton to the committee on rules for
amendment. Things went on in
this way for a week, and the old
man finally had enough of it and
felt called upon to administer a eau
ton.
Don't you know that an amend
ment takes precedence of the queS-
ton it5elf?' replied the boy. 81

"ResOlved, That this family re-

"No, sir" replied the old man.
"Do you wish for Il call of the
House ;"

your talk displeases me !"
"Well, while l must respect.th
rights of the minority | still feel
that it would be a safer plan to ia
BILE your motion. 1t can come up
again under the head of "Unfinish-
ed Business"
In about ten minutes the old man
was ready for him in the wOod-shed,
and he remarked:
"There is a quOrum present and
we will proceed to business"
Il move to take a recess" replied
the boy as his back began to ache.
Cant do it," said the father as
he hung up his hat. 81 am now

"PleaSe call mother to the chair"
pleaded the youth, but it was no go.
The old man had "a twO-thirds vote
on him, and the question was so

SENATOR SMITH,, of Fentress,
solved the State debt problem. He
was elected as IL State credit Demo-
crat, came to make a settlement,
voted for Senator Daniels bill.
Elected as a State-credit Democrat,
the present bill was not his choice,
until il was apparent that it was
this or no settlement. Acting for
his constituents, charged with their
interests, he boldly solved the prob
lem, and fulfilled the measure of
the duty he was sent to perform by
procuring the best possible settle
ment. Not the least gratifying
sign in this matter is the appear
anc of men capable of rising above
the cheap demagoguery which has
ruled the State, in its local councils,
since it has been cursed with this
Observation-Disclosures american.

This faithful and -unwaVering advocate of

The American to approve right and de-
nounce error as heretofore, and to give the
people such information as will lead them
TO correct conclusions. The facts it will give
will be without bias, upOn which its read
ers can form their own opinions. Time and
the recurrence OF popular elections, show
that q very large portion of the voters of the
Union act from the impulse Ofthe moment,
rather than from settled convictions in re-
gard to correct principles of government.
Hence the greater necessity for the use of
public journals to obtain juster and more
settled views on governmental questions.

GONE of the speakers at the late
SalOon-keepers' Convention made
this significant remark "If you
don't respect your business nobody
else Will" This divulges "A secret.
They are uneasy, and anxious to
have the badge of responsibility at
tached to the traffic. There is one
obstacle in the way: They can not
respect it themselves, and hence,
according to the above oracle, can
not expect this fattering junction.
from others. There is no saloon
keeper on earth, unless his cOn-
science is thoroughly scared as with
a red hot iron, who does not, in
his clear and sober moments, lUathe
and abhOr his business. Hence the
universal screen to hide the Gus
toners at their degraded Occupa-
ton; hence their sensitiveneSs
when attacked, and hence the
anxiety they have to be we'll pro-
tected by the respectable % author
ity of a license. This also explains
the animus of recent desire and eff
fort to have every law that reflects
on their traffic wiped off from the
statute books. This last lOOmed
forth as the aim in view in the late
gathering of the clans. The deter
mutation to reach this fired every
breast, helped the inspiration by
often and deep rotations, clenched
the fist, and formed the angry
oath on lip and tongue, moved the
unsteady fingers to put their will in
the written resolutions, and lay up
on them as Il burden us they went
home to endeavor TO carry them
out. "Respect your business =" is
the cry that rings in their ears /;
and to obey this they now apply
themselves. And no wonder, even
Satan likes to appear as ian angel
of Light whenever he can make
the ruse a success, and would be
pleased, doubtless, to be so regard
ed by the authorities of heaven and
earth.

editor and biographer of Bacon,
was a man of the most scrupulous
accuracy and strict sense Of justice.
Never did he show these qualities
more fOrcibly than just before his
death. He declared that he was
himself wholly to blame for the ac-
cident which killed him, and that
no fault attached to the cabman
whose vehicle ran over him.
