Beauty, Wit, and Good Nature, once mutual
ly vowed
To join in a lasting alliance,
But Wit grew SO saucy. and Beauty SO proud,
That the one babe the other defiance.
Good Nature came then with her soft beaming
smile,
At the close of the valorous fl ght;
They saw her, and quickly forgetting their
brois,
Shook hands and set all things to right.
Affairs thus adjusted the 1rien dship took root
And daily grew stronger and stronger;
But where they should dwell WAS q point In

SOUND SENSE AND Coop FEELING
Mr.. Cleveland shows himself to be man
of sound sense and good feeling in many
ways, and in none more than In his way
of dealing with presents. These at first
he sent back, but as the silly or obtrusive
people who enjoy the notoriety of sending
gifts to him would not be instructed in
good manners, he has determined to turn
over to local charities the various articles
now on hand, aud such as may accumulate
in the future. This is the dignifed and
proper course for him to pursue, and we
hail it with great satisfaction as an earnest
of the administration he is going to give
the country. The time has been when the
custom was quite Oriental about Washing
ton. Gifts went in advance of applications
for favors, and the gifts were received; and
not unfrequently the favOrs were granted
But under Mr.. Cleveland we are to have q
clean administration of affairs. and when
he leaves the White House the ''books''
will be ready fr inspection from top to
