FOOTPRINTS.
HELEN 7. CLARK

Across the day--across the night
Like countless doves In silent flight,
Floats down the feathery, stainless white,
Unbruken gieams moments space
without a touch, without trace
Too soon to dark despOil gives place.
The mlre of wheels, the haste OF feet
Gray toll at shivery dawn TO meet
The thousand soilings OF the street,
Oh, thousand ways the footprints lead
To shame and dole, to gloom and greed,
To JOY, and hope, and Chrlstly deed.
The whiteness, caught by smirching clay,
In cret mode, In destined day,
Back to pure snow shall find Its way.
The footsteps lost in doubt and crime,
In loves own way, In loves own time.
Shall leave the cllnglng slough and slime
And up the sleeps OF good be set.
Oh, help, ye lOftier souls, nor let
one longed for word, withheld as yet,
Die on your lips! lone reach OF hand
From sunlit levels where you stand,
Fail the spent strength at loves demand!
b. Florence, December, 1881.

TIE DOG, THE RAVEN AND THE MUTTON.

A dog finding a joint of mutton, ap-
parently guarded by a negligent -iAyen,
stretched himself before it with an ~air
of intense satisfaction.
"Ah!' said he, alternately smiling
and stopping up the smiles with meat,
"this is an instrument of salvation to
my stomach-an Instrument upon
which l love TO perform
81 beg your pardon" said the bird.
sit was placed there specially for me,
by one whose right to so convey it is
beyond question, he having legally ac-
quired it by chopping it off the origi-
nal owner
81 detect no flaw in your abstract of
title" replied the dog. "All seems
quite regular; but must not provoke
breach of the peace by lightly re-
linquishing what l might feel it my
duty to resume by violence. l must
have time to consider; and in the
meantime will dine"
Thereupon he leisurely consumed
the property in dispute, shut his eyes,
yawned; turned upon his back, thrust
out his legs divergently, and died.
For the meat had been carefully pois-
oned-a fact of which the raven was
guiltilly conscious. There are several
things mightier than brute force, and
arsenic is one of them.

A polar bear navigating the mid
sea upon the mortal part of a late
lamented walrus, soliloquized in sub
stance as follows: "Such liberty of
action as / am afflicted with is enough
to embarrass any bear that ever bore.
| can remain passive, and starve, or l
can devour my ship and drown. / am
really unable TO decide" So he sat
down to think it over. He considered
the question in all its aspects, until he
grew quite thin; turned it over and
over in his mind until he was too weak
to sit up, meditated upon it with a
constantly decreasing pulse rapidly
failing respiration. But he could not
make up his mind, and finally expired
without having come to decision. 1t
appears to me, he might almost as well
have chosen starvation at a venture.

between ls7e and 1850 when these men re-
ceiyed less than 90 cents per day Wages
are higher IN this than in any other pro-
tect I'd industry. Ailer ninety years of pro-
tection-sometimes by protective tariff,
sometimes by revenue tariif-this system
gives to the laborer this pittance of 80 cents
to Sl,25 per day. II appears from official
statements that since the period of low
wages in 1873 in Massachusetts, the richest
tate IN the Union, wages have increased

When we come to the iron and steel
works, we have calculation here made by
MR.. CARLISLE, taken from the same table,
in which he makes this statement "MR.
SwANK, the secretary OF the Iron and Steel
association, and the editor OF its organ, the
Bulletin; and it is not unjust to him to say
that his report is doubtless as favora-
BILE to their interests as he could
honestly make 1t. From this report
1t appears that the number of hands en-
ployed in the Bessemer and open-hearth
steel works during the census year, 1850,
was lO,S35; the wages paid amounted to
Si,03O,3i9 the amount of capital invested,
including all the real estate, was $40 ,075, 800;
total cost of material used, 500 ,S26, 92S, and
the total value of the product was $50, $685.
2lO. Deducting the total cost of labor and
materials from the value of the product,
there is left the sum of $l4 OF 1888, which is
a small fraction less than 81 per cent. on the
whole capital invested. 1t thus appears
that while capital retains in its hands, after
paying the whole cost Of production, nearly

every principle of right, justice, equity, we
want no such protection as builds up the
