method Of forcing students to follow

diplomas. Nature has fitted every
young man for something, and if he
can't indicate it at the age he enters

THE LANDING OF THE PILGRIMS.

Written for the Pioneer Press.
BY aMacha.v
The morn WAS chilli and the ceaseless tide
Lashed high on a rockbound shore so wide,
twas the home Of the redman; twas his
boast,
ssThis land is my home from coast to COAST
Here she east anchor; a little ship,
a Which {; upon he soandIess briny deep
Midst winter of icy cold and frost.
On her noble deck pilgrim band,
Asking of neaveh guiding hand
To help them-Christians so pure, SO good,
To rear a home mid Columbia's wood.
Upon the strand the redmen stand,
And gaze with awe on the pale-faced band,
For ne'sr saw they, in their lives before,
An Englishman touch their icebound shore.
They wonder il ship with precious load,
Be the great spirit--the redman's God
Come to Gear them to that hunting-ground
Where herds of deer on the plains are
found.
But see! a boat lowered from her side,
And nov it ok inns DER the ebbing tide,
With its priceless freight of human souls,
To the ,oekbound coast and sandy shoals.
They land; they bow; and heaven address,
For an humble home in the wilderness;
Here conscience freed from the tyrant's
rod.
Unfettered can worship the one true God.
Here now their future homes shall be,
Since sea divides them from tyranny;
Farewell. dear hopes of English ease,
And welcome home across the seas.

FALsITY AND DECEPTION OF THE
PRESS.

During the last presidential con-
test. the late Thomas A. Hendricks
was shamefully abused, If the praise
of the press now be true. He was
in everything mean, as he is now in
everything good "a distinguished
citizen, statesman, and loving hus-
band.v OF course this was the work
or Republican editors. The same
thing was done by the Democrats in
1880, and when James A. Garfield
lay wreaking with pain, the abusive
east, west, north and south bowed
around their firesides and collected
in their places of worship, and in
voked Gods saving power. When
he died, bells, the length and breadth
of this land, pealed in tones of sad
ness, and the slanderous sheets
skulked into mourning for the s'pur-
est type of American statesman and
an exemplary christian" Had prae.
tical thieves been nominated in 1884,
as much might have been said in de-
famation Of their characters, as was
said against Blaine and Cleveland.
Even the tombstone of Mr.. Blaine's
child was defaced, and the chastity
of his family questioned, and men
paid to produce the most hideous
and obnoxious cuts Of the man, who
is the talk of the world, for manly
graces, political and christian integ-
rity in the performance Of his ardu-
Gus duties. At this rate, the time
will come when good men will not
suffer themselves to stand before the
people as targets for character
thieves. The press should be so re-
liable that when q man is branded a
rascal, the people should believe it
and unite to destroy his influence,
regardless of party feelings. The
press does more to shape the mind
of the world than anything else, and
how important it is that it does well
its work. Think of the millions of
boys rapidly coming on the stage of
activity, who read the newspapers,
form opinions, and are afterwards
convinced that it was upon fabrica-
tions and abusive ISLANDERS they form
ed their conclusions. In this respect
the freedom of the press is the curse
of the country.
