A LITTLE PHILOSOPHER.

The DAYS are short aud the nights are long,
And the wind 10 nipping cold;
The tasks arU hard and the sums are wrong,
And the teachers often scold.
But Johnny McCree,
Oh, what cares he,
As he whistles along the way1
''1t will all come right
By tomorrow night"
Says Johnny McCree to-day.
The plums are few and the cake is plain,
The shoes are out at the toe;
For money you look in the purse in vain
It was all spent long ago.
But Johnny McCree,
Oh, what cares he;
As he whistles along the street,
Would you have the blues
For pair of shoes
While you have pair Of feet?
The snow is deep, there are paths to break,
But the little arm is strong,
And work is play if you'll only take
Your work with bit of song.
And Johnny McCree,
Oh, what cares he,
As he whistles along the road3
He will do his best,
And will leave the rest
To the care of his Father, God.
The mothers face it is often sad,
She scarce knows what to do;
But att ohnny's kiss she is bright and glad
She loves him, and wouldn't you?
For Johnny McCree,
Oh. what cares he,
As he whistles along the way?
The trouble will go,
And II told you so,"

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure

If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that

Presidential Candidates.

1t is less than a year to 1884, and
while we do not wish to see the Presi-
Dental ball set spinning too previously,
people never heieSs think and talk much
upon the subject and what is thought
about and talked about, can, without
improperly, be written about, when it
is question OF such general public in
terest as this is conceded to be. Of
course we do not propose to offer adj
vice. or make suggestions to the Re-
publican party. we can trust it in
its present demoralized condition to
keep on in the broad way of disinte-
grafton until it reaches the last ditch.
The Democracy should be careful not to
follow it. even to crafty its own Curl
osity: but rather profit by its mistakes.
and deserve the confidence which the
Republicans forfeited. Circumstances,
frequently Of SUI lden formation, often
guide the selection of candidates, and a
wear forecasting is. therefore, at the
best, OF comparatively small value.
Still there is no improperly in taking
our bearings now, even though the :
may show very different latitude and
longitude year hence The Democracy
in 1884 will have no lack of excellent
men available for their purposes, but it
must be remembered that the old things
are passing away, and that new issues
are driving to the front and demanding
serious consideration. Locality, or sec
honalism in itself, is frequently given
more weight than it is worth in a Ma
tonal Convention. 1t seems to us that
1t is better to take a representative man
from the center OF new ideas than from
the center of population or the center of
wealth or the center of in iuences of a
special, one-sided and frequently selfish
character. New York has furnished
our candidates for the last twenty years,
and with one exception she has give n
us splendid material. But there has
been new adjustment of sentiment
even since 1880, and Questions that then
were used simply as sentiments must
be inserted now as planks in the plat
form that will stand the hardest strain
that may be put upon them. The CEN
ter of new ideas seems to US to be the
West or Northwest. The leaders of the
policy that must ultimately prevail are
. found in that section. They are men
of ability, of consistency, of courage
and of honesty. They represent the
principle Wnlcn must De Inc WatcnWOrd
of the strife, better, we think, than the
representatives of most other sections.
though many OF the latter are warm
sympathizers and general co-workers
with them. Circumstances have done
considerable TO make the situation as
we.have described it; but in politics.
as in other things, we are the creatures
of circumstances to a large extent, and
our duty lies in making the best Of
them. Boston Post.

Man and Animals.

One notable fact in the makeup o.
man is that certain traits of character
definitely marked in any individual in
dictate the existence of certain other
traits in the same person. For instance,
the man who is cruel either to man or
beast and if he is cruel to one he surely
will be TO the other, is a coward. Mark
it where YOU will; the man who has not
soul to be touched by suffering, even
OF the lowest of the brute creation, has
not the courage to brave danger

man or beast. Adopt this rule in select
ing men for their bravery, and YOU will
never make mistake. The cruel man
IS also mean, SUNG and selfish. NY
opportunity for observation in reference
to this fact has not been so great, yet
am convinced from what have observed
that it is true
Animals have a nervous system as
regularly developed and as accurately
ad listed as men. Many of them are as
sensitive to pain as we are. Some ami
mails show other than physical suffering

sition to be cruel to animals has not
been universal. Most men are inclined
to treat animals in their care kindly:
the opposite is the exception, and it is
doubtless this fact that has caused such
hardness in making laws to restrain
those of our race who have so little hui
mainly in their makeup as not to be
touch ed with the SUI erings of others,
either of their own race or of the brute
creation. AS tie four-leafed clover is
but part of two sets of leaves of three
each. and the twin apple should have
been two perfect apples, so he who has
a tendency to be cruel to animals is ONLY
part OF man. He is devoid, in part al
least, of great soul-element God has
planted in our nature. not only for the
protection of the helpless brute but for
the prese walton of our own race. He
is not guiltless. however, for the con-
tinuance of this natural de ect; he is
capable of cultivation. and grace has
been provided by which he may be ele-
waited to the standard of perfect man.

A Funeral on the Run.

The other day at Pittsburgh, Pa, when
funeral cortege was going to the ceme-
terry, one of the carriages in front stopped
to make some trivial change in the har-
ness. The driver of the vehicle imme-
diately in the rear failed to check his
horses in time and ran into the halted
carriage. The result was that the horses
attached to the latter became frightened
and started to run away and soon started
every animal in the cortege in break
mcknight. Numerous carriages. wagons
and other vehicles were overturned and
the whole funeral procession reduced to
a wreck of its former uniformity. Men
calculated, wo'aen shrieked and many
occupants of vehicles were thrown out.
When order again came from the chaos.
it was discovered that aside from the
wrecking of a few carriages and some
bruises inflicted upon their occupants,
no damage was done.
