WIND IN THE TREES.

Then the Indian roaming late,
In The woods for miles outspread,
Heard the wind arising low
'Mong the trees above his head;
Gas: name both soft and sweet
Mlnnewawai-''plcasnnt sound"-
Listen! you will own to-day,
Truer name wasncv found.
Like whisper, 10! !itthrills us,
Coming from the far away;
Then II sjbs and sIghs in maple,
Makes the Oak leaves tuneful play.
lean hear It die out yonder,
In the wild grass rank and tall,
Where warm forsaken field
Borders on the forest wall.
Would II might be set TO music,
Sound OF wind among the trees!
When the heart is sad IL soothes 1t,
Makes II with the world at ease;
When we're happy. it's an echo,
Weakening from the purest thought,
hIinncwawa-hear the rustic,
As the wind the sweet name caught.

l stuffed piece of red table-cloth in
my mouth TO keep from laughing,

cider run in the pitcher, and then it
stopped, and the deacon drank out of

then they drawcd some more cider.

the kitchen, and took a long breath
and said, 'Whoosh! Hennery, your

head into hanging shelf and broke
a glass jar of huckleberries, and they
were all over him, and he said, Give

piles.

PILES are frequently preceded by
sense of weight in the back, lOins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighbOring Organs
At times, symptoms of Indigestion are
present, as flatuleney, uneasiness of tht
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspi-
ration, producing a very disagreeable
itching, particularly at night after get
ting warm in bed, is very common at
tendant. Internal, External and Itch
ing Piles yield at once to the applica-
tiOn Of DIR. BOsankO's Pile Remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the TumOrs, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting a per-
manent cure where all other remedies
have failed. Do not delay until the
drain on the system produces perma-
nent disability, but try it and be cured

The result of the election in Cincin-
natl on Monday was satisfactory to
Democrats. OF sixteen officers chosen
from the city at large, the Democrats
elect thirteen-the mayor, both judges
of the superior court, member of the
board of public works, treasurer, judge
of the police court, solicitor, director of
city infirmary, and all five members of
the board of education from the city at
large. The highest Democratic majority
is 4,799. and the lowest 719. ...
The Republicans elect city cOmptrOl-
Ter. police court attorney, and wharf
master, their highest majority being but
S18. The m lnicipal refOrmers made up
a ticket of nine from the Republican and
five from the Democratic ticket, and one
outsider. The outsider got beat 1,10O
votes, and of the eight candidates elected
from their ticket six were Democrats.

A. He did. The time we were pack

There is much more of the same sort

have given enough. The authorities of
the ms-hOuse-remember IL is a State
institutiOn-made money by selling the
bodies of children and adults, and pOck-
citing the receipts. And,Sas shown in
some cases when friends demanded the
bodies, previously sold, for burial, they
were furnished wooden dummies, over
which there were solemn religious SER
vices.
It Is said Dickens's exposure of the

as occurring few months ago.

, THE Cleveland Herald seems to have
some idea Of what hit the Republican
party there on Monday, and it thus
sOrrOwfully airs them:
"The Legislature lost US the city cleo
tiOns of year ago by its course on the
liquor question. The same cause, in
tenstfed by subsequent events, kept the
disafected German vote with the Demo-
Gratis, and the dissatisfaction has GER
tainly moi been les"ened by the Legisla-
tive action, or inaetiOn, on the cOnstitu-
tiOnal amendment proposition in the
present session. The German vote is
still almost solid against the Republi
can party, and 1t makes no difference
what the nature of the election, or the
character Of the ticket. The Republi-
can party must be punished say the
Germans, and they are not yet through
punishing 1t. This is fact that can
not be denied, and it is useless affecting
to ignore it."

sands Of labOrers in Europe out of work

1t should be remembered there is no
safety in any system that disregards
JUsuIcE. Equality of opportunity and
equal taxation is the only safe rule.
Wrong In every shape is unsafe, and In
Variably results In evil. A broad hu.
manity Is not Chinese affair. to be sell
hshly hemmed in. Progress depends
upon intercourse with the world, and
building up millionaire classes by vic
iOus legislation and rObber laws is not
the way to benefit labor; but it is the
way to enslave labor. This seems to be
the aim Of the Republican party.

THE Democratic organs would like to
pull the wool" over the eyes Of the
Ohio farmers. 1t is a free trade elec-
tiOneering dOdge.-RepOsitOry.
The Democrats rejoice to see the wool
dropping from cover the eyes of the
Ohio farmers" Long enough has it
been Obstructing their vision. Long
enough have Ohio farmers been cats
paws of the monOpOlists, voting with
them and plundered by them all the
time, The late Republican Congress
were quite willing to continue to legis-
late in the interest of the millionaire
mOnOpolists. Hence was it that such
Republican members of Congress as
General Robinson and Major Mckinley
voted with the Democrats against the
iniquity.
Was this action of these gentlemen "a
free trade dOdge?" We're they trying to
pull the wool over the eyes Of the Ohio
farmers?" The Rep. should try again.

MANY wOrkingmen have been induced
to believe that the Democratic party
was opposed to code that would give
them higher wages. Under this idea
many have joined the Republican, or
monopoly party.
The falsity Of all this may be seen In
the fact, that the tariff adds not to the
wages of labor, but adds to the price of
the products Of labor. These products
are the property Of the employer, not Of
the labOrer at all. Hence the employer
or capitalist realizes his millions out of
the fifty per cent additional which be
