THAT OLD, OLD STORY.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Softly sang the little love birds,
Summer zephyrs kissed the earth
ell on groups of little children,
Playing in their artless mirth.
Close behind the damasz curtains,
In a home of luxury,
Sat delicate young maiden
On the verge of twenty-three.
Sat and watched therei in the cleaning,
Till the hour of eight was told;
81 Melancholy DER her stealing:
Yes, the maid was growing old.
Suddenly she sees figure
Coming through the gathering gloam,
Then the melancholy maiden,
Proudly pranced around the room,
When he pulls the door bell handle,
Promptly she opens the massive door;
In the parlOr they are seated.
All her troubles now are DER.
On his knee she gayly perches;
From another room her pa
Looks upon mis- artful daughter
With establishment and awe.
AS his arm was round her gliding,
And his lips 10 hers We're glued,
Right behind the chair the old man
Like an awful Specter stood.
Need we tell the old, old story,
OF mans trust and wOman's guile?
should say not: they were married
In the most expensive style.

Gan old bachelor" said Honora
haywood.
"That's what he told me, just in
so many words" said Mrs. Penny
packer, who stood on the threshold
Of her best room, with her head tied
up in pocket handkerchief, and a
hair broom in her hand, wherewith
she gesticulated, after a tragic fash,
ion, as she talked, while Miss May
wood, tall and slender as wild lily,
stood in the hall, with roll of music
under her arm, and her slight figure
wrapped in shabby black shawl.
"And he's willing to pay my price,
cash, every Sunday night. Never
attempted to beat me down a penny,
if you'll believe 1t, my DEAR"
"He drinks only English breakfast
tea, and he wants his pie crust made
with the best Attorney butter, in
stead OF lard, as is good enough for
the other people; and he must have
ventilators to all the windows, and
an open CRATE, instead Of the base
burning stove; and-I hope you'll
not be offended my dear-but he
particularly dislikes piano"
"Dislikes a piano?" said the little
music teacher, reddening in spite
of herself
"And he says, says be: i; hope,
Mrs. Pennypacker, that there is no
piano in the house. a piano, says
he, plays the deuce with my nervous
system, with its everlasting tum,
tump These were his words, my
dear. So, my dear, I'll be grateful
if you won't mind doing your prac-
ticin' until he's out for his daily walk
from l to 3, just as regular rs the
clock"
Miss Haywood looked piteously
up in the landlady's face.
81 will do anything to oblige you,
Mrs. Pennypacker," she said earnest
ly. 81 have not forgotten how much
l am indebted to You, both in actual
money, and in kindness, which money
can never repay"
My dear, don't say word" said
Mrs. Pennypacker, hastily. you've
been sick, and you've got a little be.
hind hand, and it's quite natural you
should be little low spirited now
and then. But you mustn't get dis
couraged. And you're quite well
come to stay on mere until you are
able 10 settle up your little account"
Honora Haywood sighed as she
thought how often her little adver.
tisement had been inserted in the
daily newspapers without attracting
the least hotlce from the world of
patrons and pupils. There were so
many capable music teachers willing
to give lessons at moderate prices"
nowadays, and how was any one to
know how sorely she needed the
money?
And, as the time crept on and no
pupils came, Honora began to ask
herself seriously whether she should
60 out to some mental capacity, or
stay genteelly at home and starve.;
"Clothes ma'am."
Honora started from her reverie as
the washerwoman's stumpy little girl
banged herself, like human batter~
ing ram, up against the door, with a
proposterously large basket on her
arm.

The Philadelphia american thinks that
Protection must be maintained as "the
American policy" for two or three genera
lions longer. The Louisville Courier Jour
nal in reply predicts that it won't last one
third of one generation. The people of
the country are opening their eyes to the
enormity of the swindle, and in Connection
with this it would be a good promise for
the people of this and every district to
make, that they will send no man to rep
resent them in Congress who is not pledg-
ed for Free Trade-a tariff for revenue
only.

anNKLINGs pRECEpENTs.

New York senators have resigned before
Conkling and PIatt-ssnot for love- nor
yet for hate. but for good public or private
reasons New York's first senator was the
brave and noble Phillip Schuyler, who had
to make room for Burr. and who, when
Burr became vice president, succeeded him
only to hold the senatorship a short time
and resign it. Senator Rufus King in 1886
resigned TO become minister to England.
John Lawrence, a Revolutionary hero who
had acted as Judge advocate for Major An
DIRE and served two years as United States
district judge in this city-held the senator
ship short time and resigned because of
Illness. A forgotten senator senators do
come to be forgottenD by the name of
james Watson, a knickerbocker whose
name is only preserved in that of james
Watson Webb, resigned after short
service for personal reasons, and was sue
eeeded by Gouverneur Morris. General
John Armstrong-the maternal grandfath-
er of John Jacob and William Astor-re
signed the Senatorship to become Minister
to France. De Witt Clinton in 1902 re-
signed the Senatorship to take the Office of
Mayor of this city, which he filled for ten
years Theodorus Bailey resigned the
Senatorship in 1903 to qualify as Postmas-
ter of this city. Van Buren,, Marcy, and
Wright resigned as Senators when they
were elected Governors, The only Senator
whom political complications can be said
to have influencedin rendering his resigna-
ton was Nathaniel p. Tallmadge, who in
Tyler times broke with his old political
colleagues and was glad to resign and ac-
cept the post of governor of Wisconsin
Territory Since then, for a period of
thirty seven years, no designations until

When the senate adjourned the follow
ing resolutions was submitted by Mr. Pend
Teton and passed.
'sRes0Zced, That the thanks of the senate
are due and hereby rendered to the vice
president for the courtesy, ability, and inn
partiality with which he has presided over
its deliberations during the present SEES
sion"
What were those thanks given fort
partiZan rulings and based opinions? The
senate never become tie but the vice
president voted in manner that was more
than partial. He belonged to the party
more thoroughly than Malone. 1t is an
other instance of the so-called Courtesy
of the Senate" and very bad one. He
was SO partizan in his duties that when
the senate became Democratic, though the
withdrawal of Conkling and Plat, he re-
fused to allow the election of a president
pro tenn. of the senate.

The Nation, in referring to Stanley
Matthews confirmation by majority OF

This is not very f1attering result for a

which calls for so much public confidence
as place on the supreme bench.
The Nation evidently does not want to

about as mild use of words as can well
be used in a case of this sort. Not very
flattering' could be transposed into terms

Bullying the Senate,

That President Garfield's intention in
withdrawing the New York nominations,
all except that of Mr.. Robertson, was to
1ntimldate the senators from this state and
force them to vote for Robertson, is made
conspicuously clear by his substituting an
