SAINT CLAUS.

'Tis Christmas Evei How fast the years
Rise up about the heart,
Choke with their dust the fount OF tears,
And Kill life's better part.
How fat the tide Of time devours
YOuth's shining fields Of morn
How soon where once we drcam'd 81 iow'rs
Rolls n grey sea forlorn.
Ills Christmas Eve The blessed time
When Heaven leans anear,
To share the music OF the chime
With earth's untuncd ear
The blessed time when children guess
The truth Of Heavens Joys;
For Santa Claus comes down 10 bless
Their hopes with earthly toys.
Your dreams, dear child, Of toy and play
Are bright as dreams may be
And like enough the coming day
Each wish fulfilled may see,
When, with n heart adance with low.
YOnr little hands unfold
The paper crisp that hides the toy
More coveted than gold.
All, shall we never feel again
That bliss ot early days,
When in the dusk, with eyes astrain,
Their heads the children raise;
And dimly in the wintry light,
While joy bells fill the air,
FIN each dear wish is answered right
Upon tine bedside chair?
But soon the dream Of eager weeks
Improbable seems
And doll that blinks or lamb that speaks
Must go the way OF dreams
And soon the restless love, grown faint,
No thrill Of rapture feels,
In grace Of form, or gloss Of paint.
Or cunning work Of wheels.
Yet at the ehildren'sffestiyal
Let them rejoice awhile
sThouGh soon the new-found rapture pail,
Sweet is the early smile.
And sweet il is to hearts grown old.
That such snrpassing JOYS q
Still lingcr, all undimmed their gold.
About the dear old toys.

The Democrats of Virginia are rejoic-
,no greatly over the result of the recent
election in that State, they evidently re-
oardiug it as Waterloo defeat of Ma
hone. Wise's majority over Massey has
dw;ndled down to such small figures as
N he insignifcant-especially when the
tremendous efforts in his behalf are con-
sdered. 1t is now pretty generally be-
Jieved that had the Democrats placed
.ouare and irreproachable member of
their party in the field against him in
s,ead of Massey, he would have been
badly defeated. The result is looked
upon even by the Readjuster coalitionists
themselves as the breaking down Of Ma
homes power. and the little repndiator
will soon be forced into that position Of
;nsi0pifcance he so richly merits. 1t is
ouite certain that ne will not have the
same influence over Mr.. Arthur in the
future that he has had in the past. The
President has doubtless found out that
IA save Malone at the cost of his own
State and his own political future. is

this. he will have no object hereafter IN

The workIngmen of the country are
at last really getting their eyes opened
to the humbug of the theory that protec-
ton is any protection to them. 1t is
stated that one of the strongest points
which Gen. Butler made in his canV ass
of Massachusetts, was his exposure OF
the absurdity of this pet argument OF
the bsrons. The workingmen of Lowell
CLEARED him to the echo when be showed
them how they paid almost twice the
real value of every garment they wore in
a1rder to enrich the manufacturing mo-
nopolists. AS the Rochester Union says,
"His victory, therefore, means a good
deal more than Republican dissatisfac-
tion with the machine. 1t is significant
of an awakening of the people TO one of
the greatest fallacies that ever beguiled
intelligent men"

The Boston Advertiser is already
sounding the note of warning to the Re-
nublicans that they must give some at
tention to a revision of the tariff and to
revenue reform before the Forty seventh
Congress expires by limitation. This
advice is too late, and, in fact, any such
action by the present Radical Congress
at this the eleventh hour would be en-
t;relv 100 thin" When in the pleni-
tude of their pride, the present
Keifer-Robeson Congress positively re-
fused to do anything for the benefit of
the people, but arrogantly assumed that
they could rake the Treasury and legis-
late as recklessly as they pleased and still
hold on to power Now that they have
been taught a different lesson and their
nride has been humbled, they propose to
steal Democratic thunder by pretending,
in the short existence yet allotted them,
that they have some regard for the pub
lie veal. 1t is TO be hoped the Democrats
will not permit them to do any such
thing. but will keep them to their record.
The next House will have ample time to
effect the reforms needed.

AhOnt Wages.

Secretary Lord, of the Illinois Labor
Bureau, has compiled some interesting
facts respecting wages. From large
amount of data he shows that the aver
age annual income of working men of
all occupations in Chicago is $60S 20.
Two trades show incomes of over 5000;
five average over $500; nine classes earn
over 800, and nineteen upward of 5000.
Stationary engineers report the largest
earnings-$916 The smallest aver
age earning of any trade is five hundred
and two dollars. 1t is significant fact
that the trades best paid are those not
protected by the tariff, and those re-
ceiving the lowest wages are those en-
gagged in industries which are ''pTo-
tected." 1t is also a fact worthy of re.
mark that tie great mass of American
laborers are engaged in pursuits which
are not affected by foreign competition,
nor are they affected by the tariff except
as it makes all they eat and wear much
more expensive and consequently gives
their wages a less purchasing power.
Our ST. Louis contemporary, the Re
publican, gathers from this reportof Mr..
Lord, that when the full facts of the
last Federal census reach the light it will
be found that the laborers, who, even by
tho claim of the PrOtectionists them.
selves, are by any possibility benefited in
wages by the tariff are inconsiderable in
number in comparison with the millions
whose wages are reduced in value by the
increased cost of all they consume. 1t
is only necessary that the subject shall
be understood to array the great body Of
laboring men on the side of revenue re-
