There's corner In the Market,
Saie thr broker withia smile,
And you can bet, my boy, that will 4
Fetch me a big pile.
A pile Of gold for me, you know,
Is just the stuff to-day"
And the broker smiled like shylock
When he wanted flesh for pay.
Oh, the corner In tho markets,
Where the only thought is gain,
And the corner in the human heart
OF misery, grief and pain;
The suffering Of the poor who buy
Their bread with sweat and tears,
And labor on In poverty Until death
Ends all their fears.
These corner" stand shame to-day
A curse to them who toll
With troubled souls and weary hearts
In shop, In mine and soil.
O what blessing should some
Hand remove them now for aye,
'Twolild make the homes OF
Workingnen paradise to-day.

How He Resents Criticism-Treatment of
Other Presidents by the Papers.
T. g. Crawford. in New York World.
The President is growing more and more sen
sitive every day. He seems to think that the
newspapers are the natural enemies of his ad-
ministraton. There is hardly a public man
who calls upon him who does not hear some COM
plant from him about the newspapers. Since
his Inauguration he has been treated with more
courtesy by the newspapers than any President
for long term of years His immediate prede-
cessor Was a constant target for the newspapers
Mr.. Arthur never betrayed in any way the
slightest sign of annoyance. He adopted the
more dignifed plan of ignoring, so far AS he
could. adverse criticism Representatives of
friendly or unfriendly newspapers occupied
Hayes abused and lampooneG from
one end of the country to the
pther, yet there was old shoe of a
country Congressman more accessible to the
representatives of the newspapers than Mr..
Hayes. Garfield, in the same way while more
sensitive than some of his predecessors, never
made any undignified public complaint There
was President who was ever made more
of target than General Grant. Towards the
close of his first term all of the leading newspa-
pers In the country were united in criticiSing
and opposing him. Some of the most scandal.
Gus stories were printed at that time. Yet Gen.
Grant never complained and never showed any
sign of being annoyed. The veterans of public

generous of me; that the money was my own
