An Editor.

What is this? 1t is a man. Oh!
so it is, / thought at first it was a
wild animal. What is it the man
has in his hand? 1t is a package
Of bills. What is he trying to do
with the bills? He is trying to col
lect them. VIII he do it?
We fear not. Where is he going !?
He is going to the sanctum; he has
a bill for eighty cents against the
editor. He has been there before.
The editor hears his well-known
footstcp in the rotunda and crawls
under the table. The man comes
in and looking at the clock, says:
"Is Mr.. So-and-So in?" The clock
does not say anything, but the edi-
tor under the table groans in his
soul Of souls. But the man does
not hear him. He has worn out
two pair Of 81 shoes running after
that eighty cents. He has on his
feet the third pair Of shoes sacrificed
in this vain pursuit He looks
down at them and secs holes in his
toes. He turns with a weary sigh
and goes out apostrophising the ed
itor in strong language. The editor
crawls blithcly from beneath the
table and joyously completes an ed
itorial entitled: Our National wealth;
How to Protect it."

ury and want followed. The matrimonial
associations are as unreal and unsubsta anita
as the old wildcat State banking system. In
terest makes men plausible and ingenious, and
they offer many specious arguments in favor
of the association which pays them a good
salary; but which is pernicious to the morals
and permanent prosperity OF the community.
They strike at the root of honest industry,
the foundation of morals and wealth, while
schemes which encourage idleness and the
hope Of making fortunes by gambling is the
nursery of vice and poverty. The imposi-
ton of life of labor on fallen man was
the greatest blessing that ever accompanied

which is rolling through this land with
the width of an ocean and the rapidly of
torrent. Every soul seems mad and
plunges into the torrent TO sink or swim, and
of course many are engulfed in the deep
waters. The slow, sure and blameless gains
of honest industry are not sought in the
hope of getting rich at dash. The young
man who has pro6ted by matrimonial az
ISOLATION acquires taste for adventure and
he next invests in lottery tickets. They are
nurseries for gambling, and the strong arm Of
the law should lay its heavy hand upon
them. Money easily acquired is never ap-
preciated. That which is made by the
sweat of the brow subserves good purpose,
and the money and time spent in matrimo-
NAL associations can be more pro6tably

On yonder hill. The golden moonbeams shed

suggesting to the Chinese and Jspenese
line of conduct which he would himself
probably be called on officially to iudorse
shortly afterward. The idea of some sort of
permanent connection with the executive

Garfield had obtained the presidency and

Nor was this at all surprising. He
came to the presidency q simple poldier,
without many political ideas, or anything
that could be called a political philosophy,
and continued in this condition until he fell
into the hands of Mr.. Roscoe Conkling, who
at once undertook his political education. In
giving it Conkling undoubtedly founded the
boss system, and originated the idea of that
subtle but very serious change in our politi-
cal machinery which Don Cameron had in
mind when he said, at the beginning of the
third term struggle before the Chicago con-

Drawn from sterile bosom which all OF Life has

Where is thy line TO fathom depths of the cruise of

What can you give, poet from barren fields but
To fesh-made hearts that famish, the eueharistic

riot pulse ere battled against thy nauseate rest
If in the midnight silence when masks aside are
lain,
Dream ships went out in laughter and meier came
in again?
Then in thy heart thou holdest thy precious store
of song,
Thy best thou hast not given, it doth to thee be-
And in the single darkness thou makest the min
That our ears will never harken till thy sad soul is

Thou sings't the patriots anthem with words that
But nowhere In the tumult of Loves exquisite

some of Them, are compound bodies. Thus
If would appear that the hotter a star the
more simple is Its spectrum, for the bright
est, and therefore probably the hottest stars,
such az Sirius, furnish spectra showing only
very thick hydrogen lines, and few very
thin metallic lines, characteristic OF elements
of low atomic weight. On the other hand
the cooler stars, such as our sun, are shown
by their spectra to contain much larger
number of metallic elements than such stare
az Sirius, but nc non-metallic elements; and,
again, the coolest stars furnish huted band
spectra, characteristic of compounds of me-
tallic with Eon-metallic elements, and of non
metallic elements. These facts appear to
meet with a simple explanation, if it be sup.
posed that, as the temperature increases, the
compounds are first broken up into their
constituent elements, and that these elements
then undergo decomposition into elements of
lower atomic weight.
