SacriIege,

They walked in the clover-haunted fields
a weary wording and dainty child:
He sated and worn with the love of self
She fresh as the dew on the upland wild.
He stole the blush from the sweet wild rose.
And proved that the mornings grew less fair;
That a taint of poison lurked in the bloom,
And hung on the breath of the summer air;
That life Is not good as it seems:
That faith and virtue rarer grow;
That the worm is hiding with greedy mouth
At the hearth of all that we love or know
And a shade fell over the summer fields.
And the sun in its brightness seemed to wane.
Her hearts song faltered-alaS for her.
His doubt crept into the perfect strain.

The Sham ana the Real.

Every good thing has its host of imitator, every
genuine article its cOuntGrfets. Bad manners and
wicked habits have theirs also; but he who shams
the bad never boasts of it, while they who ape the
virtues of the good or simulate the genuine never
hesitate to place the counterfeit before the public
IN their most alluring tones. When these people
llhltale theY always choose a pronounced type or
popular subject to copy from; and when they claim
I" he As good As >o-and-So," or to sell an article
equal TO "So-and So' the public may depend upon
II that Mr. Soand-So,'' and his article are always
the best of the kind. Thus the sham is always
proving the genuine merit of the thing it copies.
hrn OF cnterpri,ing gentlemen produce and
p"pulal1ze an article of household use such as the
ho!ai Baking Powder whose convenience, useful
ness ana real merit make for itself immense

every hand, and as they hold out their sham

Just as good as Royal, and much cheaperi" The
Royal Baking Powder is the standard the world
over, and its imitators in their cry that theirs is
'as good as Royal" are all the time emphasizing
This TACT. In their labOrious attempts to show by

The answers to these inquiries in nearly |

question was always "Go-at-it-iyenesS, stick

The attitude of the Democratic majority in
the House on the Navy question is indefenSible
in every particular. Since the organization of
the party the navy has been to them pet hob
by. During the last ten years they have made
the atmosphere resonant with their clamors and
complaints against the Republicans for their
neglect of this arm of the nations defence.
Their papers have been filled with these com
plants, and they have echoed from every stump
in the land. They have found place year af-

of complaints the Democratic majority sets it.

THE CONSULAR AND DIPLOMATIC BILL.

Mr.. Randall is really getting too ridiculous.
He carried his hatred of the navy so far as to
attempt to leave the ships now building with
out guns. In the Consular and Diplomatic bill
which he reported Saturday afternoon he
shows like hatred of that branch of the SER
vice, but in a similarly absurd and unreasoning
way. A close study of this remarkable bill
would be required to point out all its crudties.
We have had time only to note few of the
most glarng. II y We have not space to-day
to show further the combined ignorance and
stupidity which characterize this last eXIraor-
dinary production of Mr.. Randall. But we
hope there are Democrats in the House intelli-
gent enough to see that their party cannot af
ford to adopt such curious rubbish. N. Y.
