leaders, or do you favor 'sclean po!itics?"
Thirtecnth-Botll the nominees for president
and vice president by the republican party arc
competent and worthy. Both are high-minded
and honorable Christian gentlemen, members
in good standins-ono in tho Congregational,
the other in the Methodist Episcopal church
against whom the poisoned darts of malice
have teen hurled by their political enemies in
light of the public gaze before the country for
twenty years. They have occupied the highest
places in the councils of the nation They have
been honorcl leaders Of their party for all that
iong pcrod enjoying its implicit trust and nm
,lsaken confidence in their WISDOM integrity
and faitllfulness to public duty.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the nominee Of the
democratic party for president is neither com
petcnt nor worthy to fill the highest and most
responsible office in this great nation. 80
His gross bluutler while dodglng the tariff

by declaring that the president has nothing to
do with legislation-lis Office being simply ex-
ecutive-proves that he has no proper idea of,
the duties of the Office The constitution makes
it the duty of the president to recommend to
congress such legislation as he favors, and
gives him the absolute power to, prevent such
rs he Opposes, unless passed by o two thirds

AS to the candidate for vice president, he

For these reasons we appeal to every true
republican to stand by and vote the ticket of
his party, and not to throw his vote away on

Two Thousand Sandwiches.

English bars, where English beer
may be drank, and sandwiches, cut
after the usual fashion, may be eaten
between meals, are to be met with now
in greater numbers than formerly in
certain quarters of Paris. But there
is an art in the cutting of sandwiches,
as there is in most things, and French
walters, who are more in the habit
of inserting a slice OF meat into the
French roll which then goes by the
name of sandwich, than of preparing
the article on British principles, take
generally longer in serving a GUS
toner than London waiter would do.
There is, however, one of the fra
ternity of Partisan garconaS whose repu-
tation as a sandwich cutter is hence
forth made, and who, in proving his
capacity, has won the sum of f40. he
was, it seems, being grumbled at. a
day or two ago, by an irritated En-
glishman, who, wanting his afternoon
sandwich, and wanting it quickly, in
dulged with some friends in disparag-
ing remarks about the clumsiness of
French walters. The serving man at
the bar felt himself wounded in his
amour propre, and on the customer
offering to bet 1000 francs that he
could not cut two thousand sandwich
es in the space of twenty-four hours,
accepted the challenge, the Briton con-
senting to pay the value of the bread
and ham in the event of his losing. He
did lose, for the two thousand sand
wiches were cut in the presence of
witnesses within the time named, and
he paid without murmur, say the
French papers. As for the sandwiches,
thew were handed over TO the Paris
hospitals London Standard.

The Little Quaker Sinner.

4 little Quaker maiden, with dimpled
cheek and chin.
Before an ancient mirror stood. and
viewed her form within,
She wore gown of sober gray, cape
demuTe and prlm,
With only simple told and hem, yet dain-
ty, neat. and trim;
Her bonnet, too, was gray and stiff; its
only line of grace
Was in the lace, SO soft and white, shir+
red round her rosy face.
Quoth she, "Oh, how l hate this hat
hate this gown and cape!
do wish all my clothes were not of such
outlandish shapei
The children passing by to school have
ribbons on their hair;
The little girl next door wears blue; oh,
dear, if could dare,
I know what | should like to doP' (rhs
words were whispered low,
Lest such tremendous heresy sho'd reach
her auDts below)
Calmly reading in the parlor sat the good
aunts, Faith and Peace,
Little dreaming hou rebellious throbbed
the heart of their young neice,
All their prudent. humble teaching will

And, her mind now fully conquered by
vanity and pride,
She, with treu. bling heart and fingers, on
a hassock sat her down,
And this little Quaker sinner sewed a
tuck into ber gown!
Little Patience, art thou ready? Fifth
day meeting time has come.
Mercy Jones and Goodman Elder with
his wife have left their home"
Twas Aunt Faiths sweet voice that
called her and the naughty little maid.
Gliding down the dark old stairway
hoped their notice to evade,
Keeply sbyly in their shadow as they
went out at the door,
All, never a little Quakeress guiltier
conscience borei
Dear Aunt Faith walked looking upward
all her tho'ts were pure ard holy;
And Aunt Peace walked gazing down

But tuck -tuekr' chirped the sparrows,

And in passing Farmer Watson's. where

In meeting Goodman Elder spoke Of
pride and vanity,
While all the Friends seemed looking
round that dreadful tuck to see.
How it swelled in its proportions, till il
seemed TO fill The air,
And the heart of little Patience grew
heavier with her care.
Oh, the glad relief to her, when, prayer:
and exhortations ended,
Behind her two good aunties her home

Jones Goes on au Excursion and Re
lates His Experience.


We met cur dear old friend Jones the
morning after the excursion, and he
looked mad. We asked him the reason,
and he told US that he had been to the
exclusion, but would be If he ever
went to another. He gave US the fol-
lowing reasons:
Because Maria, she's my wife, would
insist ON my getting up at four o'clock
and holding the baby while she dressed
herself.
Because Maria hurried me off without
any breakfas' because she was sure We
were late for the train. made me run
all the way to the depot with the baby
in nay arms, only to find we were full
hour ahead of time. Because while
waiting for the train the baby got
cramps in its stomach and it cost me
fifty cents to get 'em out of it.
Because when l grumbled, Maria.
meaning me, said some meh were just
too mean to live.
Because whenever | wanted to go and
get drink Maria would insist on me
taking the baby along.
Because when Tom - came along
with his girl, and he saw me with the
baby in my arms and the twins leaning
prumiscuuusly against me, the william
laughed and. pointing to me, said some
thing to his girl. and she laughed too.
Because all the boys caught on to 1t
and laughed too.
Because when the conductor came
! round for the tickets Maria tried to
crowd the twius down so that they
might pay half fare, hut the conductor
insisted on nnravaling them out and
| making me pay full fare for them.
Because when l wanted to slip away
to see a fellow Maria would insist on
slipping with me, and when | mildly
objected she began to cry, aud said 1t
was just like me.

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard of its fall
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
iaborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching OF the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump. made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dischsrging great quantities Of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
