A SCHOOLMARMS STORY.

a frosty chill was IN the air
How plainly remember .-
The bright autumnal fires had paled,
Save here and there an emher;
The sky looked hard, the hills were bare,
And there were tokens everywhere
That it had comc-November.
| locked the time-wom schoolhouSe door,
The village seat of learning,
Across the smooth, wcll-trodden path
Nv nomeward footsteps turning;
My heart troubled question bole,
And in my mind, as oft before,
A veXing thought was bnrning.
''Syhy is it up the hill all the way?"
Thus run my meditationS;
The lessons had gone wrong that day,
And had lost my patience.
us there no way To soften care,
And make it easier to bear
Life'S SORROWS and veXationS?"
Across my pathway through the wood
A fallen tree was lying;
On this there sat two little girls,
And one of them was crying.
hearl her sob: ''And il | could
I'd get my lessons awful good,
But what's the use Of trying!'
And then the little hooded head
Sank on the others shoulder;
The little weeper sought the arms
That opened TO enfold her.
Against the young heart, kiud and true,
She nestled close and neither knew
That was behoider.
And then heard-ah! ne'er was known
Such judgement W thOut malice,
Nor Queenlier council ever heard
In senate, house, or palace!-
| shonld have failed there, am sure,
Don't be discouraged try once more,
And Twill help You, Alice!
"And viii help YOU This is how
To soften care and grie ring;
Life is made easier TO bear
BY helping and by giving,
Here was the answer | hau sought,
And l, the teacher, being taught
The secret of true living.
II Il win help YOU were the rule,
How changed bevOnd all measure
Life would become! Each heavy l0ad
Would be q golden treasure;
Pain and yeXation be forgot;
Hope would prevail in every lot,
And life be only pleasure.

The Address to the National Re-
publican Committee.

Headquarters Of the Republican
National Committee, Neu York:
The Republican National Commit
tee rejoices that the returns now
received warrant it in announcing
the triumphant election Of Blaine
and Logan. The Republicans have
carried every Northern State ex-
cept New Jersey and Connecticut.
Virginia seem also to have given a
majority for the Republicans, the
cause, and the ticket, and there
is stong probability that West
Virginia has also, while other
Southern States are still in doubt.
The Northern States alone, how
ever, give Blaine and Logan 225
Electoral votes, and insure their
election. In New York, attempts
to tamper with the returns have al
ready been detected. The actual
vote cast in New York City, Kings
county, ana 1882 other election pre-
cincts give at the utmost only 143
plurality to Grover Cleveland, while
the 163 precincts not yet heard from
gave 2,171 plurality to Garfield.
There is therefore no ground for
doubt that the honest vote of the
State has been given to the Repub-
lican candidates and though the
defeated candidate for the Presi-
dency is at the head of the election
machinery in this State, the Demo
cratic party, which has VIGOROUSLY
been the party Of fraud in the cleo
tions for years, will not be per-
mitted to thwart the will Of the
people. The National Republican
Committee calls on the Chairman
and individual members Of all
county committees to take the
promptest and most stingent means
to protect the sanctity Of the bal
lot. The Republican candidates
have been honestly elected beyond
j question. Any attempt to cheat
the people and to defeat their will,
thus expressed at the polls, must
be sternly exposed and arrested,
and resisted by every law-respecting
citizen
(Signed) 8. T. JONES Chairman.
Samuel Fessenden, Secretary.

A California paper mentions the
ease which Nine. Godini, the
Italian opera singer, renders Eng
lish ballads, and says that her pro-
nunciation is almost as good az if
she had been born and raised in
America.
Nine. Godini used to be called
Miss Mary Wadsworth, and was
raised in Marysville, California.
Probably this to some degree ac-
counts for her remarkable COM
mand Of English accent.

improper and tends to indecent exposure Of the

order have been arrested and incarcerated.
