Our Young Readers.
THE BOYS AND. THE GIRLS.

There is such crowd of you. boys and glrls,
You are thronging IN every place:
II we did not conquer you now and then
You would NIL up all the space.
You take the world as il il were your own,
You merrily laugh and sing,
As IL there were not a failing time,
And life conld be always spring.
Nc send you out of the way sometimes,
In the midst of your mirth and noise,
For old heads ache, and old hearts fail,
And can not share your joys.
But the world belongs to you, after all,
And others aside must stand,
That you may be abc to do and dare,
And be masters I'm the land.
You are so busy at school and play
That you have no thou yht TO spare
For the problems that puzzle the grown-up
folks. @ tH
And make them gray with care.
But you are the people, my happy ones:
And all that we do to-day
Will be more to you than it is to US,
For you will the longest stay
We are qrrck to give to you praise and blame;
What will Won give us, when
You weigh, as judges our words and deeds
In the time when you are the men?
What will you think of the laws we make
When you read the records through
And the manners aud customs of church and
home,
And the cities we build for you?
Bows, be generous; girls. be fair.
We are trying 10 do our best
Ne are beginning some good brave work
lis for you to do the rest
Through misty moorland and fog flied street,
We are seeking for greater light:
But for you there is breaking above the world

Tile following extract from Senator
Bayard's Brooklyn speech of Septem-
ber Is, shows just what Minnesota
republicans, who have express d
themselves time and again as in
favor of tariff reform. have TO ex-
pect from the election of Mr.. Blaine,
in the matter of reduction of the
present oppressive taxes:
With an enormous load of obstruc-
tive and unnecessary taxes increaS-
ing the cost of living and of the
necessarics and common comforts Of
| life, there is left in the treasury an
| annual surplus greatly exceeding
800. 0.000,0O0 What is the plan of
Mr.. Blaine in relation to this burden
of taxation, as set forth in public
letter! Is it to reform the tariff, to
reduce its excesses, and leave the
money of the people in the pockets of
its ownersi Not at all, but to per-
petuate the burden. indeed to IN
crease it, and this hy Capitalization
of power infinitely dangerous, and
wholly unwarranted by the constit"-
tion.
The republican party of Pennsyl-
vania proposed to divide The annual
surplus, whatever it might be,among
| the states.
Mr.. Blaine proposes "by bill of
ten lines" to direct the secretary of
the treasury to pay the whole or the
excise taxes. less the cost of collec-
tion. over to the states and territor-
les in proportion to their population.
Thus perpetuating all the inquisitor-
ial powers and machinery of the fed
eral government for the collection of
the money and reducing the state
governments and their people to the
condition of mere stipendiaries. de-
void of discretion in SO important IL
function in self-government.
Nothing could more strongly il
lustrate Mr.. Blaine's disregard of the
constitution in his anxiety TO catch
votes.
