ROBIN IN THE SNOW.

Robin, singing in the snow
Where the March winds wildly blow;
Peering through the binding storm,
I can see thy tiny form,
On the paling'S sharpcned height,
Culver with the songs delight.
Clouds above and death below.
Yet thou sinSest in the snow.
Not twiS on any tree
Holds nesting PLACE for thee;
Not an inch OF OtfOTaSegrOund
Bare in ALT country round.
On the unSwept window. sill
Scattered crl. mbs have been thy fill
Scattered prOvender, tits true,
For hundry wight like you,
Minstrel, wandering to and fro,
For thy dinner in the snow.
Trill and twitter In the gloom,
"Sunshine bringeth leaf and bloom;
Soon on yOnder snOw-clad tree
Mate and nest and warmth for thee.
One who cares Is over all
have heard His Easter call
Trust Him, though the storm may blow"

In 4 Bad Way,

The desperate straits Of the Republi,
can party are illustrated hy the scramble
for the shoes of the man who died in the
Office of postmaster general. Frank
Hatton wants them because his friends
think he is the kind of a man that Ar
thur delights to honor. Chandler is
against him, because he is a Stalwart
and Chandler thinks kasson in the cab
met would be better for Blaine. Micaw
Der Robson wants the place, because he
is waiting for anything that will turn
up and thinks his character would be
rehabilitated by cabinet pace. Mark
Dunnell, of Minnesota, wants it en- gen
eral principles and the Connecticut peo
pie have postmaster in New Haven
whom they consider the peg for the
hole. The Ohio people, never backward
in coming forward, are pressing Charles
Foster and there are probably dozen
perspiring patriots on the way to claim
it.

visitors, since he els an aged and bent
back man, with long, phosphorescent white
beard and hair, CHASTITY and wavy, bright
and glarirg eyes and long, scrawny
fingers. His walk is noiseless but stately,
and his presence is always indicated by
peculiar electric sensation which prevades
the surrounding air." The president,
however, appears to be rather unfavorably
interested in this goblin of questionable
shape and spends much of his time per-
ambulating about the rooms during the
midnight hours, when ghosts are supposed
to be around.
THE placidity with which a great part
of the suicides of the present day are CON !:
mitted is consideration which naturally
occasions much surprise and possesses a
peculiar significance. A convict has hung
himself in his cell, with his feet resting
upon the floor and effecting slow stran-
gulation by pressing his throat upon a
linen moose. Another man in restaurant
said to the waiting girl, "you may bring
me a cup of tea," and as she left the room
he stepped up to mirror and coolly drew
razor across his throat, severing his
| jugular vein. The justification for self
murder doubtless finds strong argument
in the reasoning of the suicide, as he views
tho deed, but the calm determination with
which he meets death, as in the instances
noted, seems not in unison with the work.
ings of nature, since actions wherein life
and death are concerned would appear to
be accompanied by an emotion proportion
ate in intensity to the seriousness of them.
1t must, indeed, be light hallucination
under which these collected suicides labos
that they can meet death by their own
hanGs with such stole indifference, or else
it is an extremely powerful will which can
overcome all inclination to reason in oppo

frenzied individual who rushes to death
with violence and precipitancy partly ex

Wasting Time.

The House at Harrisburg yesterday
spent good deal of time over a bill to
make eight hours legal days work
and, of course, for the protection of
workingmen as we'll as employers,
amended it so as to provide for the in
operation of the law in cases Of " special
contract" Then it went on to except
one class of wOrkmen after another from
its provisions until the measure was
emasculated of any application to lum-
berers, persons employed at oil wells,
glass works, steel works and maritime
occupations, and pending further
amendments the House adjourned.
1t will doubtless 90 further and
make many more exceptions, as obvious
ly most of the occupations which men
follow in this state require longer atten-
tion than eight hours, while others, no.
tably the great industry Of farming, vary
widely in their requirements from day
to day, and from season to season. BET
it matters little what particular excep-
tions are made in the bill if the general
saving clause in behalf Of private con-
tracts is left, as that will enable any
employer ard any workmen to contract
for such time of work as the contract
ing parties see fit. And, this being the
case, what folly it is for Legislatures to
waste time discussing such bills
as this ? Men will work long time
or short, they will work themselves
to death or be idle, according to their in
clinations and circumstances, and what
ever laws are passed to regulate them
will be evaded by the exercise of the
constitutional right of private contract.
1t is the waste of time over such matters
as this that brings the Legislature into
disrepute.
