The River OfLife.
BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.

The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems a year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the careworn cheeks grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and breath
And life itself is vapid,
Why, as we near the Falls of Death.
Feel we its tide more rapid?
1t may be strange, yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosom bleeding?
Heaven gives our fading years of strength
Indemnifying feetness;
And those of youth seeming length
Proportionod 60 their sweetness.

He Did the Best He Could.

An Irish laborer was recently killed
on the railroad, and one of his fellow
workmen was deputed to break the news
to his wife.
"Break it gintly to her, Dennis, poor
sowl," he was instructed. "Lead up
to it by degrees, and not be too sudden
like"
"Is this Mrs. McFadden?" asked
Dennis, who was frightened at the task
before him, of the woman who opened
the door.
"It is. Phat do ye want"

He Knew a Good Thing When He
Saw 1t.

Chicago Herald.
"Young men, I've mind to COM
plain to the conductor about you. l
do not believe gambling should be al
lowed on the cars" So spake an
elderly, good-looking man, who oc-
cupied a seat just behind a party of
poker players. "There's nothin' so
demoralizin' as keards," continued the
old man, warmed up to his theme;
''it leads young men to certain ruin;
it makes 'em lazy, deceitful and vicious.
I kin remember when l played myself
onct, nigh on to forty years ago, before
1 got religion and fined the church.
But don't tknow one keard from mother
now, and l thank God for it. You
young men should be ashamed of your
SELF" The old gentleman ratified off a
very good lecture, but the young men
continued putting up the chips and call
ing for cards. 1t was soon noticed
that the lecturer was sitting well for
ward in his seat with his eyes looking
intently over one of the young mems
shoulders.
A moment later he was sitting on PPad Nv e
was bent forward and finally he got out
his spectacles and put them across his
nose. The game continued. One of
the players in the front seat made it
half dollar to come in; the next man
made it a dollar; the third stood it,
and SO did the fourth. After the draw
betting became lively for that game.
The fourth man had evidently struck it
rich, for the old gentleman behind him
began to getexcited. His hands twitch-
ed nervously in the direction of his
pantaloons pocket. 1t would cost the
dealer 81 to see, and the words 81 call"
were about half out, when the old man
jumped up.
"Keep still, you tarnal fool!" he
shouted; ''let me play yer hand. l see
that and raise yer Sao!" One of the
players called. "Long time since 1
played keards, youngsters" remarked
the old man, as he pulled in the pot;

Taxing Bachelors.

The French proposition to tax bachelors
is a good one. The bachelor gets through
this world without, experiencing many OF
the delights Of tsx-paying unless he chances
TO be a man of great wealth. That this is
wrong is shown by the p~romptness with
which a newly married mar finds himself
q taxpayer when he most needs his money
for the use of his family. The discrimina'
ton against the man who assumes the re-
spousibiities Of supporting a family and IN
favor of the man who lives only for himself
IS an injustice which ought not to be tOler
ated. The bachelor finds a premium put
upon his own worthlessness by the society
of which he forms an insignificant part. He
sees his companion or acquaintance, who
chooses to become an honorable member OF
society, loaded at once with public as well
as private burdens, and he viii need no one
to tell him that the support Of q family is
ordinarily difficult enough without the i'm
POSITION Of uncalled-tor taxation. Let the
bachelor be taxed or licensed. Put q pre-
MUM on him. Make him pay his share Of
the public expenses, and the levy on the
men wko are supporting waves and children
viii be less Onerous.

Who Did IT.

1t was not the Democracy. They were
divided and discouraged. A vas, proportion
of them would not have Mr.. Cleveland, and
voted against him. Yet the Democracy
furnished the great body Of the voters who
supported him. Alone they could not pos
si6ly elect him but if they had not voted
for him, he could not have come near being
elected.
1t was not the Independent Republicans,
so called. They were loud and active and
Tree with their money-iu the way Of legiti,
mate election expenseS-but they could not
win a victory. Many as there were, there
we're not enough OF them.
II was a handful Of unforgiying Stalvarts
that did il. They made no noise before
hand. They had no organization. They
held no public meetings. They sent out no
orators. They printed no documents. They
said nothing until the very eve of the cleo,
ton. But they voted. They remembered the
defeat Of Folger They also remembered Mr..
Blaipes assault upon Senator COnkling;
and they voted so as to make the old &C,
count square. Their votes, along With
those Of the regular Democrats and the In
dependent Republicans were eficacious.
Study the returns Of Oneida county, where
Gar6eld's plurality Of 1916 was changed
into a plurality of2S for Cleveland, and you
VIII see how it was doue,
II seems a funny idea, but the fact is that
after having served the Blaine men as a
bludgson to knock FOlgtr over. Cleveland
has now been made to serve the Stalwarts as
a clever to cut down Blaine. And thus
the whirGgig Of time brings in his re,
