EBB AND FLOW.

Life throbs with tides that ebb and flow,
With things that come and things that 70
Inc mists that rise when morn is fair,
Are not more transient in their stay,
Than are the hours that speed away,
For often life seems like a dream
So quickly flash with glance and CLEAN,
A thousand things that come and 20,
And cause the tides to ebb and flow.
A sad sweet strain that's borne along
by breath Of wind: bit ofsong,
A few fond words when dear friends me ct
The music of laugh that's sweet;
The sympathy that prompts sigh
winsOme face that passes Sy;
Bricfjoys that stay their little while,
kindly glance, loving smile,
These ever come and evergO
And, like the tides, they ebb and flow.
A lovely landscape, fair and bright.
Ono moment seen, then lost to sight
The gorgeous clouds at set of sun,
That crowns the day when it is done
The frosty pictures on the pane,
That fade, and come. and fade again;
The cur ing smoke that floats away;
A snow wreath on winters day:
All these, like waves that ebb and flow
With cGaseleSs throb, still come and 20.

GRANT AND GARFIELD.
Respecting what he had asked of the
Administration the General said "Af-
ter Garfield was elected he wrote me
several letters filled with pr0testations
OF gratitude at what he choose to call
my valuable services during the cam
paign, and asked me to give him a
chance to repay in part the great debt
he thought he owed. He said he wanted
my assistance, and the benefit of my
travels and experience, in making his
selections for foreign appointments.
finally wrote him that my brother-in-
law (Cramer) was sick and wanted to
get out Of Denmark, and asked for his
transfer to some place south, naming
Spain, Belgium and Portugal He was
sent to Switzerland. But you see it
was all the part of plan. General Ba
deau was known to be friend of mine.
He was sent to Denmark in order to
make q place for Merritt. Merritt was ap-
pointed to the New York Custom House
because he was known to be an enemy
of Conkling, and for the purpose Of
breaking the latter up. Failing in this,
Robertson,'a still greater enemy, was
selected to complete the work, and it
was of course necessary to provide for
Merritt. Hence these changes. But it |
is merely that | would ask for any
transfer that would endanger the son
Of my old Secretary of State. He
resigned, it is true, but it was because
he wanted to be promoted"

Emily and the Mules.
For the Repub lican

A friend just home from Boston ex.
claimed ooh Miss Emily you should
have seen the horses in the street cars
there, they almost danced along even
with full lOad-large and strong, it
was u pleasure to look at them. Yes,
answered, and here it is such painful
sight. The smallest mules that can be
found in the market are made to do the
work of the strongest horses, it is u
disgrace to the city and a mean coward
ly way of doing business. And worse
than all is stopping and starting on the
hill side with full load. Such actions
should never be allowed by any Chris
tian community. A prominent business
man in Market street remarked that it
was no saving to the Company that it
soon killed the mules. Il. w.

THE MENTOR TREATY.

"In regard to the Mentor treaty of
which we have heard so much, there
was not a word of truth in the sensa-
tiOnal reports that We're published con-
corning what occurred during our visit.
We were in the State, speaking, and in
compliance with Garheld's oft ft.repeated
requests determined to call ut Mentor,
as it could be done without putting us
much out ofour way. Conkling said that
he would 60 with me. Arriving at Car
fields house, we found crowd of peo.
pie there, probably one hundred and
fifty in all. We went into the house
and sat down and talked with General
Garfield and others present, but not
word was said by either Conkling or
myself to Garfield in the way of trade
or bargain, nor was any understand
ing Of any kind whatever arrived at.
All that we said while with Garfield
was in Il general way, and could be
heard by those around us. In fact it
would have been impossible for us to
say anything that those around us could
not hear. SO this talk about the Mentor
treaty is mere nonsense.

WHY CONKLING RESIGNED,


81 have no doubt but that when
Conkling resigned he did so with the
intention Of keeping out Of politics and
out Of the Senate, and | think he acted
wisely. He was sick and disgusted at
the condition of affairs. He had been
insulted by the President and sighted
by the Senate. There is, or should be- o
gleat deal in Senatorial courtesy, which
means simply this: That when the
President makes an appointment to any
State, and it fails to Illicit the approval
of the two Senators from that State, the |
matter ends there and the nomination
is rejected. If the Republican Senators
from any State object to any nomina-
tion, the rest of the party is expected to
support them in the matter without
exception. The same is of course true
Of the Democrats, but in this case it
was u coalition against Conkling, and
he accepted it as such, on the part of
Garfield, tc ever select for the New
Y ork Colectorship this man Robertson.
He was personal and political enemy
If fConkling's, and was probably chosen
for that reason.

Waste of Force.

The Republic is a p,odigal land
Nature aid fortune have ordered it and
It's belongings on big scale. 1t is &C
bounteously supplied, it has SO many
resources, that the disposition of it,
citizens may partake of lis munifcence
iuvoluntarily. They can SC cely believe
themselves mortal; they are as careless
of their health as Of their money; they
run to extremes in everything. If the
present shows weakness, they lean on
the future. If they are depleted in purse,
or overcome in illness, they learn no
lesson from experience. They count it
merely mishap which no amount of
prudence would have prevented, and
depend upon new chauces for restora-
ton. In the Old World they are apt
to think q man must hold on to his
possessions, whatever they may be; but
in the New We can afford to expend
physical and pecuniary substance, for
what We have or have not to-day will
bo snre to come tomorrow. 1t is vain
to advise them to go Glow, to declare
that they are burning the candle at both
ends, that they are paying more than is
due. that they may yet want what they
throw away continually. When they
would be glad TO retrace their steps, to
undo what has been, it is usually too
late. And were it not too late, it is
doubtful if they would be willing to
consult prudence and follow wisdom.
American women are more reckless
of health and strength than American
men are. They are. as a rule, bundles
OF nerves which lie so near to the
surface rs to be touched by every occur
renee, and which are SO sensitive as to
vibrate to every emotion. Their waste
of nervous force is painful to contem.
plate, for every student of humanity
knows that it must be requited.
Whether they talk or write, stay at
home or travel, enjoy or suffer, they
feel and show an intensity which is
absurdly superfuous. They expend
force enough in day to last them q
week; they make tIihes momentous;
they throb and thrill over insig niticance.
Always keyed up to concert pitch, they
cannot be toned down without seeming
to themselves insipid and commonplace.
Most OF their feelings are raptures;
their views are ever fervid and high
colored; they revel in superlatives and
hunger for new ones; they soar in the
zenith and cherish still loftier aspira.
ticn. Everything is possible to them
but repOse. Their streams swell into
torrents; their warmth is a raging
fame; their opinion is passionate
prejudice. The nervous force they
waste in a daily round of uneventful-
ness might, if properly directed, win q
battle. No wonder that nervous pros
trstion is one of our most prolific
diseases. It increases constantly, and
its increment may in due time teach
moderation. If our material resources
are inexhaustible, our bodies and brains
are not. Nature is giving US warning
that we must moderate the headlong
pace that ends early at the madhoase
or the grave.-[N. Y. Times.

Imaginary Grievances.

A fretting. despondeDt woman is
most uncongenial companion - one
whom man cannot really understand.
There are countless wives who make their
own and their husbands lives burden
Ivy brooding over imaginary grievances,
which, when they come to be examined,
have actually no existence save In the
mind of the aggrievel one. a little
word, perhaps, said IN q little heat OF
temper, which probably the speaker
regretted as soon as uttered, or what Is
far more likely, forgot as soon as said,
is cherished IN the heart and brooded
over till the little sting becomes fes-
teripg sore that deranGes the whole
domestic system. The woe grows
worse and worse with time, as more
thought is expended upon it. 1t is a
sad thing when once this habit OF
breeding over wrongs, imaginary or
otherwise, takes possession OF Il woman.
Thrown more unon her own thoughts
and feelings, she is under greater temp
tations to indulge this habit than men,

Feminine Cynicisms.

Matrimony is the thorn of the rose Of
love.
For the woman who has long been a
wife death hath no terrors.
No woman need deapair of fortune SO
long as she remains unwedded.
Many women would bs totally de-

repent forever.
When We 60 to the priest to be united,

We may love our lives withou. safety

She who converts her lover into u
husband, transforms a worshiper into
an intolerable despot.
The ultimate effect of marriage upon
man is to make all women appear

The couples who want children have
already grown apart and hope to be re-
united through the offspring.
Tophet is place whore marriage is

The brightest idea. We can havesof
heaven comes from thinking that there
is neither marriage nor giving in mar

The fact that women who wed once
and are widowed are apt to wed again,
only proves the force and the evil of the
habit.
How many persons marry q second
time to revenge themselves for what
they have suffered in their first expert

No woman is heroine unless she have
her hero by her side; and then her
heroism is pale reflex OF her hero's
virtues.
Pity is near akin to love outside of
wedlock-insids of wedlock it is an
other name for contempt. and soon de-
stroys all hope of sympathy.
The reason woman is always hope
full is because, never understanding
herself, she never suspects that self
knowledge would reduce her to absolute
despair.
Women are born tyrants and the
