''My seasons four shall bring
Their treasures the winters SHOWS,
The autumn's store, and the flowers of spring
And the summers perfect rose.
"All these and more shall be thine.
Dear Child, but the last and best
Thyself must earn by strife divine.
If thou wouldst be truly blest.
"Wouldst know this last, best gift:
II is conscience clear and bright,
A peace of mind which the soul can lift
To an infinite delight.

A SYSTEM OF APPRENTICESHIP

is recommended to be established, in pursuance
of which American merchant vessels engaged
in the foreign trade might receive certain
fixed sum from the government for the support
and instruction of apprentices can ried on board
for a stated term Of wears. Such a system
would. it is thought, do much to improve the
average standard of American seamen and re-
pay the national expense in a1Ording an avail
able corps of seafarng men who could be re-
lied upon in case of emergency to help man the
navy. pro forma act embodyng the princi-
pal requirements of such a law is annexed.
Another impeachment to the efficiency of our
merchant service is that the sailor is not gov
erned by laws that can be enforced at all times
for his protection, and at the same time punish
him for offences he commits, which demOraZes
the discipline of the ship. The shipping act of
1872 was undoubtedly expected to accomplish
this object, but allowing through the system Of
registration of Seamen kept at the shipping
office for their supervision by the shipping
commissioners some good has doubtless been
effected it is thought that further legislation in
this direction might be advisable and have IL
good effect"
The commissioner recommends that no
change be made in the present lazy regulating
ships lights until the subject has been fully dis
cussed and the proposed changes approved by
all maritime governments. He also recon-
mends that the international signal code be
legaliZed by act of congress. The report con-
tains great many letters. pro and con, on the
question of advance wages to seamen. which are
submitted without comment for the considers
ton of congress. Referring to the frequency of
collisions at sea, the commissioner says that the
losses to life and property from this cause
show the necessity for an International code of
rules to govern the approach of vessels to each
other at sea. The code should be universally
adopted and understood. He also says that if
system of courts of inquiry were instituted in
this country, with power to punish officers and
seamen found guilty of careessness or incom-
potency, the number of collisions might be
greatly reduced.

The superiority of Wells, Richardson & Co.'S,
improved Butter Color over all others made, is
again demonstrated by its record at the Autumnal
Fairs The test of practical use is what tells the
story, and the great value of the premiums given
by the Agricultural Fairs lies in the fact, that the
Judges in these cases are regular farmers, who
know what their needs are and what will supply
them. Wells Richardson & Co.'S, Improved Butter

where exhibited, is putup in vegetable oil so pre-
pared that il cannot become rancid, most import

FORTY years ago, in a lecture on THE
Times" Ralph. Waldo Emerson paid his re-
spects to certain reforms and so-called reform
ers IN language which could hardly lave been
other than distasteful to the citizens then re-
ferred to, and would doubtless be equally
unpleasant to some reformers Of to-day, were
the same utterances to be applied to them. In
fact, it is difficult to believe that Mr.. Emerson
was not forecasting the future, and, with the
vision of a seer, was gazing upon a veritable
mugwump of the year Of our Lord 1884, when
be drew this life-like portrait of men who de-
light to call themselves reformers. 'They
mix, says he, 'the fire of the moral senti-
ment with personal and party heats, with
measureless exaggerations and the blindness
that prefers some darling measure to justice
ardor what are called the benefits of mankind
are narrow, self pleasing, conceited men, and
affect us as the insane do. They bite us, and
we run mad, also. l think the work Of the
reformer as innocent as other work that is
done around him, but when / have seen it
near!-I do not like it better. 1t is done in
the same way; it is done profanely, not
piously; by management, by tactics, by clam
or" The mugwump may not be pleased by
the picture drawn, though it be by the sage
whom he and his class revere; but the candid
observer cannot fail to be impressed by the
exceeding faithfulness of the likeness.

IN the face of it's oft-repeated assertion that
the white people of the South are not e%nvious
OF the advancement Of the colored race and
their social progress, the Charleston, S. c.,
News complains because a fight between two
negro women in that State was telegraphed
over the country as a tragedy, in which "a
prominent church lady killed the acknowl-
edged belle of the town." This disposition to
allow only the rows between white ladies' to
be published to the world is a little too mean
for anything.

THE Chicago News does not seem to under
stand why self-respecting Republicans hest
bate to accept membership in the Metropolitan
Police Board, when it is offered them by the
Democratic State officers, in opposition to the
wishes of Governor Porter, or at least without
his concurrence, he being the only representa-
tive of the Republican party in the selecting
authority. 1t is perfectly we'll understood
here; indeed, it is not easy to see how any
self-respecting Republican could do anything
else han decline a place rendered under such
circumstances.

Mr.. HORACE WATERS, an impetuous New
York Prohibitionist, offers to give $500 for
reasonable proof that Governor st. John
either received or agreed to accept from either
the Republican or Democratic managers of
the late campaign, or any one representing
them or authorized by them, any money or
other material consideration, or any promise
of political %preferment whatever. Mr.. Waters
has zeal without knowledge. This is not his
fight; it is Mr.. st. Johns. The st. Louis
Globe Democrat, a perfectly responsible paper,
makes a distinct charge, and says it can prove
it. Why does not Mr.. st. John sue the
Globe Democrat for libel, and bring the whole
matter to a speedy and legal determination
