GOING TO school,.

There's an army that musters it lrSions
And marches TO roll-call ac'i day;
Ar happy and tlest are til. -. ions
y c. lie liz he army hr-i.t way.
Z cv troop ever hillock and hollow,
They spring across brook II and pool.
And gayly and cheerily follow
The summons which bids them to
school.
By thousands the army is numbered.
It scldiers are fresh as tha morn;
Not one is by sorrow encumbe,ed,
Not one is by care Oycrborne.
At decimals sometimes they stumbled.
And sometimes by verbs are per-
plexed
And the proudest grows saddcned and
humbled
When a question is passed to the next.
But forgot at The brietest vacation
Are problems and puzzles and prose,
The grief OF the stern conjugation,
That late was fountain OF woes;
And the army goes back to its duty
The hour that the play time is done,
Respondent in love and in beauty,
Unmatched meath the light Of he sun.
Iney SatneI, tniS WonueIlul army,
In field and in grove and in street;
Their voices are music to charm me,
So ringing and eager and sweet.
Their cheeks are as red as cherry,
Their eyes are as pure as the day,
And the sound OF their marching Is
merry,
Whenever they pass on their way.
There are people forever assigning
And saying the world is all wrong;
But somehow their doubts take to flying
At the sight Of this wonderful throng.
The world may be clouded and weary,
OF trouble and toll may be full.
But at least there is hope where the
CHEEKY,
Dear children are going to school.

Ninth avenue and north of the city limits,
which would be easily accessible, We
could comply herewith without the ex.
pehse of time and labor, which would be
required under the ordinance re-
ferred to, and we would vii lingly
furnish such place subject to the ap-
proval OF the council or mayor.
2. There are already numerous pro :
visions in the city ordinances for the in,
specti0n of meats kept and held for sale
by us and we have never objected and do
not object thereto nor to any ordinance
that may require an inspection thereof at
our places of business; hut TO be required
10 take our cattle u miles to the abattoir
for inspection before slaughter, and then
to take the carcass after slaughter to the
same place, and then back to our slaugh>
ter house before we can offer the same to
our customers, is, we think, onerous, un-
reasonable and oppressive.
8. A considerable portion of the
meats obtained for sale in this city, come
from The west, where the animals are
raised, and are inspected and slaughtered
in Davenport Iowa, where the same
are purchased by us at wholesale.
This is particularly true of mutton and
calves, sufficient quantity of which can
not be purchased in the neighporhood,
and brought here alive. We think we
ought to be permitted to purchase in like
manner, and under like circumstances, as
others are permitted to purchase, pro.
vided the meat is first submitted to in in,
spection here.
We therefore respectfully ask that the
Objectionable provisions be repealed, or
be so amended as to remove the just OBJ
Jections thereto which we have here pres
sented. Very respectfully presented,
ANgHONY KOCH,
President of the Butchers Union.
