An OLD KEY.

Last might found an old forgotten key
Deep in an unused drawer and quick tears
fell
As in my hand took 1t tendcrly-
For ah : ! knew the story IL would tell
OF n familiar door, n " vanished hand"
CHEEKY click " by eager children heard
Papa Is home !"-Ah, little loyal band
How oft your hearts grew sick with hope dc.
ferrcd.
In the time after tor " Papa went forth
And came not back. Then dawnCd some dark
some days;
The cottage home was sold and we came north
To gray city street, to lowerless ways
III the bright steel great spots OF rust had grow
1t would not turn 80 easily rs then"
Il thoughp "and Rosebauk Is no more my
own
have no claim TO enter it again.
Maybe Its door has now a different lock-
And oh, If even | could venture there,
What should find = my misery to me mock
Ghosts of the dead-strangers' careless stare
took the key and laid it out Of sight;
"sluce then thou canst no more opc the doc
for me
OF that dear home, thou needst not see the light
FOR only doors of tears are oped by thee"

High License as a Remedy.

Those who have been maintaining that
high license would be an intemperance
cure.all will doubtless have their eyes
opened by the opinion of Rev. j. X. Funk,
d. D., editor of the New York Ioice. lie
declares high license no remedy. In Lin
coin, Neb., when there was no license,
there were only II saloons. Now there are
% saloons, paying each 81 600 annually.
The same was true of Chicago and of the
whole state of Illinois and throughout the
West generally, wherever the experiment
has been fairly tried. DR.. Funk claims
that the saloons which would be closed by
the measure were those that did the least
harm. He notes the fact that when John
b. Cough commenced his work in the
temperance cause Al years ago there were
59, 900 900 gallons of liquor consumed i'll
this country, per capita allowance of
three gallons. In the year ending June
80, 1854, there were 100000 600 gallons
consumed, per capita allowance of 12i
gallons.
What the temperance reformers need tC
do is to watch the quarter sessions court:
when the licenses are granted.

Earnest Protest Against Discrimination by
Trader In Beet on the Hoot

Earnest IT otest Against DISCRIMINATION by q
Trader In Beet on the Hoof.
Samuel w. Allerton, of Chicago, proprie
tor of the St Louis dressed beef works, and
largely interested in stock yards in that city
and Chicago, in an interview on the dressed
beef question stated that there was no doubt
that the freight rate on dressed beef and live
cattle was in favor OF the former,
the assertions OF Swim and Armour to
the contrary Notwithstanding. As proof of
this he said that Armour had doubled his
shipments during the last wear. The talk
about going to the legislature or Congress
was, consequently all bosh. Both Swift and
Armour would be afraid of being asked
what enabled them to slaughter 63 and 20 per
cent respectively of all the receipts at
Chicago Mr.. Allertou said the West aud
Southwest should protest against any legisla-
tion that would lessen any competition
In buying, as there was already too
little rivalry, the dressed-beef men,
by agreement, gong into the market only
one at time, so that seller received but
one bid and was compelled to sell at that.
The W estern prod and Eastern consumer
were alike at the mercy of dressed beef men.
As to rates to the East, he said there had been
a constant discrimination against shipments
| of live cattle by reason of the stock being
| weighed in the yards, while the dressed beet
was shipped on stated rates and regularly
| under-billed. ltwas oul ly recently that dressed
| beet had been weighed in New York and
| found to have been under-billed. AS to tariff
| rates. MIR. Allerton said he himself had seen
| copies of freight bills issued by both the
| Grand Trunk and Erie at S45 per car wher
| the rate was SIS. In addition to that SIS wa
paid back for mileage on the car, and the cal
| was pulled back over 1000 miles tor nothing
He thought it was no wonder that the Euglisi
stockholders of these roads had been look inl
| in vain for dividends. lie also suggeste,

A Worthy Cansc.

We are pleased to note the success that
has attended the effort to establish
branch of the Irish National League Of
America in this city. The object of this
organization il to provide funds for the
Irish Home Rule party in the English
Parliament to enable them the better to
keep up their warfare for Irish rights. The
money that has been collected in this
country has been largely responsible for
the present auspicious outlook of the Irish
situation. Many brainy Irishmen, devoted
to their country, have heretofore be- n CON-
PEELED to restrain their patriotic impulses,
because they were too poor to occupy a
parliamentary seat, no salary being at
tached thereto. The parliamentary fund,
gathered together from all soils where
Irish feet have trodden, enable these men
to lend their time and talents without ex
orbitant personal sacrifice to the cause
they have 50 dearly at heart. The effect:
Of this movement are apparent in the

A MYTH.

A.foating, a-hoating,
Across the sleeping sea,
All night heard a singing bird
Upon the topmost tree.
"Oh, come you from the Isles OF Greece,
Or from the banks of seine,
Or or some tree in forests free
That fringe the Western main %
! come not OF the old world.
Nor yet from on the new;
But am one OF the birds OF God
Which sing the whole night through"
4" Oh, sing and wake the dawniDgi
oh, whistle for the wind
The night Is long, the current strong,
My boat IL lags behind
The current sw eeps the old world,
The current sweeps the new;
The wind will blow. the dawn will glow
Ere thou bast sailed them through"
