DEACON DAY AND THE HIGHWAY
COW.
The best o bcins will hey their cares
There's alwus sumpthin' to cross our way
70 worry an fret us in our affairs
An sech wus the lot o old Deacon Day
He he'd his trlals-ll tell you.how
He WIS tempted an tried by highway-cow.
The hue o her hide was II duskybrown;
Tier body wus lean, an her neck was slim;
One horn turned mp. an the other down;
She was sharp o sight. an was long o limb,
With peaked nose, an a short stump-tail.
And ribs like the hoops on n homemade pail.
Many a day he'd she passed in pound
Fur mranly helpn herself to corn.
Many cowardly cur an hound
He'd been transtlXed by her crumped horn,
Many teapot an old tin-pal
He'd the farm boys tied to her stumpy tail.
Old Deacon Day was pous man,
A frugal farmer upright an plain
An many weary mile he ran
TO drive her out o his CROWN grain.
Sharp were the FRANKS that she used Ia play
To git her FIJI and to git away.
lie used to sit on the Sabhath-day
With his open Bible upon his knee,
rhinkin q loved ones far away,
In the Better Land that he longed 10 see
When distant heller, borne through the air,
Wonld bring him back to this world o care.
When the Deacon went to his church in town.
She watched an waited till he went by.
He never passed her without frown,
An an evil CLEAN In each angry eye.
He would crack his whip, an would holIcr
Ez he drove along in his "onc-horse shay
Then at his homestead she loved to call.
Liftin' his bars with her crumped horn
Nimhly scalin' his garden wall
Helpin herself to his standin corn,
Eatin his cahbageS one by one
Scamperin home when her meal was done.
OF en- the Deacon homcward came,
Hummin a hymn, from the house o prayer
His kindly heart in tranquil frame,
His soul cZ calm cZ the evenin' air,
His forehead smooth ez a well-worn pillow
TO find in his garden that highway-cow.
His human passions were quick to rise.
An strdin' forth with savage cry,
With fury blazn' from both his eyes.
FL lightnins flash in summer-sky.
R3dder an rcdder his face would grow.
An after the critter he would go
over his garden. round and round,
Breakin' his pear and apple trees,
rrampin his melons into the ground,
Tippin' over his hives o hees,
l4eavn' him angry an badly stung.
Wishin' the old cows neck was wrllng.
The moses grew on the garden wall;
The years went by, with their work an play:
The boys o the village grew strong and tall,
An the gray-haired farmers dropped away,
One by one, eZ the red leaves fall
But the hghwaycOw outlivcd EN- all.
The things we hate are the last to fade:
some cares are heightened thro many years:
The death o the wicked seems long delayed.
But there is IA climax to all careers
An the highway-cow at last was slain
In runnin n race with q railway train
All into pieces at once she went,
Jest like savin s-banks when they fail;
Out o. the world she was swiftly sent
Ieetle was left but her old stump-tail.
The farmers gardens an Corn-tields now
Are haunted no more by the hgbway-cow.

1t grieves US to record that General
Griffin, a leading New Hampshire Re-
publican, has addressed the following
pointed language to that eminent moral
list, Williamee Chandler:
II am not unfriendly to you person
ally, but l regard it as beneath the dig
nifty of man holding a portfolio of the
United States Government to descend
from his post of duty and of honor, and
engage in political wirepulling and
trickery in a State election. / am
friendly to you, and it overwhelmed me
with sorrow to know, years ago, that
Congress passed law aimed directly at
you, as was generally understood,
forbidding thereafter an ex-Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury from practic-
ing in the United States Court of Claims,
because it was believed you had been
guilty of crookedness in regard to GER
tain cotton claims, and had accumulated
fraudulently large amount of money by
the operation. l am friendly to you.
and l admire your remarkable abilities,
but it grieves your best friends to know
that those abilities are exercised almost
wholly, as your course leads me to be-
lieve. in political knavery and wire
pulling, instead OF impelling you to a
high and honorable leadership on the
great and vital questions of the day"
If Williamee can circulate sufficient
''soap" to day he will probably regard
the above reproachful sympathy as de-
cidedly misplaced.

A Brave and Faithful Guardian of

from ImmInenIPerII.

A very popular and we'll known member
of our police force, who has performed duty
twelve years at the Union Railroad depot
on Exchange place, in Providence, r l ,
gives his unsolicited testimony. Hear him:
"I have been dreadfully troubled with
disease of the Kidneys and Liver during the
past six months; at times l was so severely
afflicted that was unable to stand on my
feet, as my feet and lower parts Of my legs
were very badly swollen; my urinary organs
were In a dreadful condition, my blood was
in wretched state, and It had become 50

that my hands and feet would be
cold and numb and SO white as to appear
lifeless. could not rest nights, but was so
distressed all over that could not lie still
in bed, but would keep turning and rolling
from one side to the other all night, Sd that
l would feel more tired and exhausted IN
the morning than when l went to bed. My
condition became so serious that l was
obliged to stop work, and for thirty days
was unable to be on duty. l consulted the
best doctors, and tried the numerous medi-
cines and sC-called cures, but rapidly grew
worse, and was In a sad condition every
way, when a long time valued friend of
mine, prominent in this city in a large
express company, urged me to try Hunts
Remedy, as he had known of wonderful cures
effected by it. Upon his represen tstion

commenced taking it as directed, and great

made glad, and assure you l continued
to take the Remedy and to improve con-
stantly from day to day. took 1t with me

NJ. Gambetta, In recent letter to French
subjects at Rio Janeiro, who sent him con-
gratulatIons, said: Sin spite of malicious
detractors of all parties, desire no ether
reward for my labors than the suffrage and
approval of the patriots; OF those who toll
and struggle abroad for the interests OF our
mother country; Of those also, who, remain
ing on our native soil, prosecute through all
obstacles the recuperation and grandeur OF
France. Their joint tribute of satisfaction
amply satisfies my ambition as good citi-
zen, and for having understood that l SIN
cerely and personally thank you."
There is nothing so satisfactory as figures.
You can prove anything with them, and
anything you prove looks incontestible.
The New York Times man recently took up
the fact that the people of these United
States drink 16, 000, 600 barrels of beer In the
course of year. and here are the resuits OF
his figuring :: f'Th8t is, assuming that there
are "A 600 900 women and children who
never drink beer, 1900, 900 teetotalers who
never drink anything but water, and 8 OOO,-
900 deacons and farmers who drink old Med
ford rum, then the remaining 16 600 COO
must drink barrel of beer apiece In the
course of the year; and if.the New York
brewers prediction is to prove true, there
will be by the close OF the century at least
80 GOO, 600 beer drinkers, and each OF them
will consume annually about twenty barrels
| of beer Any man who has once grasped
the full significance Of these startling figures
needs no argument to convince him that
the war cry of the great reform party Of the
| future will be pure beer.'"
General Schofield, who lately succeeded

civilization, but OF a decayed civilization,
and each carried under his arm a silk hat
whose gloss had long since disappeared.
| They began with diplomatic eulogy Of
1 General Mcdowell, and then, proceeding to
business, urged their claims to a continuance
of the free passes over the Central Pacific
Railroad which they epjoVed In the good
old days. They explained that it was oc-
casionally their imperative necessity to ride
on the railroad, but that they never, under
any circumstances, were In condition to
pay their fares. Having finished his special
| errand, their spokesman, with tnetfable
dignity, asked General Schofield for a
quarter of dollar with which to purchase
food.

Our Washington correspondent says
the impression prevails that if Folger is
defeated in New York as overwhelmingly
as is now anticipated, it will break his
heart, and he will follow Horace Gree
Iey's example and die. That would be
sad, but Mr.. Folger went into the con-
test in New York with his eyes open, and,
to please Mr.. Arthur, even consented to
run although he knew his nomination had
been secured by crookedness. If he is
not defeated, and defeated badly, he
certainly ought to be.
