THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

NEVER before in the history OF the u
try has the American sentiment been SO
strong. By this wedo not mean the lanai
cal native American spirit which is so re-
pugnant to true Democratic principles and
which brought such grave complications
under the lead of political demagogues forty
years ago, but the feeling that this Is a
great nation, destined to cut an important
figure in the word-political and CONNER
cial-and that the time has come when 1t
should exert it's influence and power. 1t IS
the spirit that demands a vigorous foreign
trade, which will not only reach out after
commerce, but will protect the American
citizen abroad as he is protected at homh,
This is a feeling that is common to she ma
| tive and the naturalized citizen. 1t was
| this spirit which came SO near electlns
James G.. Blaine in the face OF the fact that
| the intelligence OF the country regarded him
as a demagogue and a corrupt man. The
man who has failed to see the growth OF
this sentiment among the masses OF the
people has been very unobservant. Its
growth has been so great among foreign
born citizens as among natives and there
are to-day no more loyal, patriotic and
enthusiastic Americans than the sons
If Irish and German born cltlt-
zens. The growth OF this feeling is a
hopeful sign for the future OF the Nation.

As A correspondent elsewhere suggests
the Inter Mountain should have the decency
to apologize to the Roman Church and to
the good sisters OF the Ursuline convent lot
it's brutal and u~nprovoked and malicious
assault upon them. The Church OF Christ

it's extension upon earth should at least
escape it's venom. The management OF the

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.


| sit here alone in the twilight,
Away from the wild city's din;
Enticed by my dreams of the future,
And scenes from the past rushing in,
think of the days that were happy
And moments of purest delight
Yet all is not fair in the picture
Retouched by my memory tonight.
! recall the bright visions of childhood,
The prospects | cherished in youth;
But alas they were creatures of fancy,
And had but the semblance Of truth.
They had not the fragrance gave them,
Nor colors thought We're so rare;
The dreams that they wrought In my beson
Dissolved to sad memories there.
| thought there was nothing but sunshine,
That friends were easy to win;
But clouds intercepted my fancy,
And threw their deep shadows within.
The lesson Of life as learned IL
Has caused my heart many tear;
But it proves that wherever a frown is,
There too must the sweet smile appear.
Then sketch me a scene where the shadows
Will tempt the glare of the light,
Where thorns may be culled with the roses
And sorrow and pleasure unite
For the lesson of life as | learned il,
Has strengthened my heart against fear
For IL proves that wherever is shadow,
There too will the sunshine appear
