The Emporia weekly news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1881-1889, 1882-09-07

A calm perusal of the platforms, state
and national, adopted and defended by
the Democratic party during the last
twenty-five years ought to be enough to
make every right minded American
citizen condemn it and turn away from
it in disgust. In all that quarter of a
century it has enunciated no principle
and formulated no policy that lives and
is respectable to-day. 1t has arrayed it.

The Penalty of Civilization.

An Indian girl, who, before she went
toHampton College, believed herfathers
log hut a palatial mansion compared
with the surrounding tepees, and kept
up the illusion, looking forward with
pleasure to the grand reception her
father would give on her return, burst
into tears as she walked into the rude
hut and realized how completely her
education had isolated her from all that
had been so romantic in her former sur
roundings. On the other hand, when
her sister saw her poloHaise, her jaunty
hat and her high-heeled French shoes,
she cried her eyes out because she
couldn't be civilized, too. When the
daughter began to clean up and set
things to rights in the old hut, her father
began TO think seriously about sending
her back East. He couldn't stand any
such nonsense as that So it would
seem that education, in this case, was
rather q doubtful boon to all parties
concerned.

The Death of the Old Year.

Full kneo-deep lies the winter snow
Aud the winter winds are YEARLY signing:
Toll We the church-bell sad and slow,
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year, you must not die;
You came to us so readily,
You lived with us so steadily,
Old year, you shall not die.
He lieth still; he doth not move;
He viii not see the dawn of day,
He hath no other life above.
He gave me friend, and a true, true love,
And the New-year will take EN- away.
Old year. you must not go;
SO long as you have been with us,
Such JOY as you have seen with us,
Old year, you shall not go.
He froth'dhis bumpers to the brim;
A jollier year we shall not see.
But tho his ewes are waxing dim,
And tho his foes speak i'll of him,
lie was friend 10 me.
Old year, yon shall not die;
We did so laugh and cry with you,
I've half mind to die with you,
Old year, If you must die.
He was fun of Joke and Jest
But all his merry quips are DER.
To see him die, across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post haste,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own.
The night IL starry and cold, my friend,
And the New Year blithe and bold, my friend,
Comes up 10 take his own.
How hard he breathesl over the snow
heard just now the Growing cock.
The shadows flicker to and fro,
Tho cricket chirps; the light burns low;
IT'S nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands before you die,
0sd year, well dearly rue for you;
What is IL we can do for you?
Speak out before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin,
Alack our friend is gone.
Close up his eyes; tic up his chin;
Step from the corpse, and let him in
That standeth there alone,
And watcheth ut the door.
Theresa new foot on the floor, my friend,
And new face at the door, my friend,
A new face ut the door.

In his eyes she utterly eclipsed his

foreign land, amongst the people whose

and whose habits were distasteful to

Already he has said this to her. AL

an elopement. The man had had
conscience enough TO arrange his
money matters, so that his wife should
still live in comfort and luxury to
