The Rifles Fair Booming.

The Veteran Corps (old Guard) visited the
Rifles fair last night aud brought their friends
with them. The latter must be legion, for the
attendance exceeded that of any other night,
except the. first, and, as consequence, both
floors were full of people. In fact so tightly
were they packed together that locomotion
until after 10 o'clock was almost impossible.
Want Of space did not, however, deter the
workers, for with all the inconyencnccs they
managed to move about, and their returns
showed that they had improved the opportu-
nifty. The results thus far come up to the eX-
peciations of the management, and the sur
plus will be handsome. Two more nights
remain of the fair, and tonight the voting will
cease on some of the prizes and the awards be
made TO the successful candidates. A lively
balloting is expected from this time out, and
II is thought that the secret vote in each in
stance viii be heavy, us 1t Is known that many
OF the competitors are holding their strength.

The Young Artist.

There are artists and artists. So
there is clothing and clothing; and
while the artist in the cut does not
make "lifelike" portrait of "grand.
pa" he succeeds about as we'll as
some clothing manufacturers do in
making correct styles and qualities.
IL goes without saying that one
dealer may advertise a suit for So
and another one for Sra, and the
latter be much the cheaper.
There is a point below which a
good, durable suit cannot be made,
and when one is sold below that
point it must of necessity be inferior
or old.
We make no claim to sell that
class Of goods, but do say that our
stock is new, fresh and reliable in
make and material, and that the
prices are the lowest for the quality.

"STAY WITH THE MOTHER"

We stood in the press at the ferry gate,
GREATNESS weary, and just too late,
watching the gT eat boat plunge and strain
through roaring chaos of ice and rain;
AND over the sullen crush and din
Of the turbulent hOoGtide laundering in,
over the fret of the restless crowd,
A young voice, carOling sweet and loud,
Rose for moment. and beat the air
Like the strong white wings of the angel
prayer;
20 feet that are fain to go astray.
Stay with the mother when her hair turns
gray!
Only the words of a worn quatrain.
With a pitiful plea in its sad refrain;
Only a lads voice, sweet and strong.
Trolling the catch of a threadbare song.
But nameess something. it might have been
The touch that maketh the whole world kin,
OuickeDed and warmed to a kindlier mood
The hearts of the listening multitude,
Crept with a tender. if transient. grace,
Like gllmmer OF morning, from face to face,
As the tired and shivering crowd made way
For the pale little woman whose hair was gray.
The world may be crowded with sorrow and
But sweet human nature still thrives every
where;
No matter how careless and callous it seems,
Absorbed in its pleasures, its gold getting
schemes,
There are warm, living impulses lurking, 1
Like dafiodils blossOming under the snow.
"A breath Of the south wind, chance sunny
Through some rifts,of the cloud, may release
and betray.
For behind the infexible masks we put on.
Beneath the cold guise it may please US to don,
All unconscious. ii may be, some fill5Inent fine
Reaching out links US still to the Nature Di-
vine.
There's an instrument locked in each world
hardened breast
Whose compass may never be proven, or
guessed;
But the dominant chord of its grand master
key.
In the score of existence, is sweet sympathy.
oh, in spite of the bitter cOrrosion of tears.
OF the rust and the dust of our work-a-day
years,
Though on our hearts affairs the ashes may lie
Like the dead roses dropt from all summers
gone by,
In the gamut of life those electrical chords
Breathe music that may not be fashioned to
words;
But the magical something that beats in each
breast
Ever thr. lis and responds to the highest and
best
AS the hearts of the multitude echoed that
day:
-"Stay with the mother when her hair turns
gray"

AN UNEXPECTED BETRAYAL.
The Late Diatribe of Miss Dodge in tn
North American Review

The Late Diatribe of Miss Dodge in the
North American Review
Something must have occurred to
sour the gifted Gail Hamilton. Hereto
fore the stanch, persistent friend of her
relative, the late Republican candidate
for the Presidency, she has not only
abandoned him, but goes so far as to
charge upon him the Republican defeat
of November last. In her article on
prohibition in Politics." in the June
North american, she speaks deliberately
and with full apparent consciousness
of the weight her words carry, of the
Republican party as 1.-The noblest party
ever developed by free institutions for
the defense of free institutions. and
never nObler than now in ats temporary
defeat by an unexpected betrayal"
There is undoubtedly some measure
of truth in this. The Republican de-
feat-which Mss Dodge is mistaken in
regarding as ''temporary"-was very
largely due to the selfish persistence OF
James G. Blaine in forcing himself upon
the party as its candidate, and COM
polling it either to indorse his malo-
dorous record or decline to support him.
But it is hardly just to Blaine to speak
of his conduct as betrayal" He did
not recognize any obligation to the
party. 1t was the party obligation to
him that he recognized. He regarded
himself as of more Importance than the
party; and while he unquest;onably
sacrificed the party to his personal am
bition and greed, betrayal is not at
all the proper word to describe his con-
duct. We are surprised that a writer
of Gail Hamilton's usual accuracy
should, even under the stress of per-
sonaI feeling, forget the properties of
language and do so rank an injustice to
her kinsman. Not even among Blaine
most earnest political opponents is he
accused of betrayal" though lie is
generally recognized as the cause of his
party's defeat The ''Mugwumps'
may possibly be less lenient with him;
but it unbecoming in Gail Hamilton to
adopt their vocabulary for any pur-
pose.
The cause of this unexpected attack
on Blaine we can not even surmise. II
Miss Dodge were an ordinary woman it
would be useless to speculate about tt.
matter; for the ordinary woman is I'm
der no obligation to assign-or ev'n to
have-a cause for anything she may do
or say. But Miss Dodge is not 81 ordi-
nary woman. Upon more than one &C.
cas- on she has recognized distinctly the
