was twice amember ofth Legislature, twice
mayor of Oshkosh, the city in which he re-
sides, and from the Thirty-ninth TO the
Forty-third Congress, inclusive, he repre-
sented his district in the House, and he has
served five of his six years term in the
United States Senate. He was a delegate to
the National Republican Convention at Bal.
timore in 1864, at Cincinnati in 1876, at Chi
CagO in 1880.
In his public and private life he has never
been reproachcd for any wrong act. Indus
try, unremittng attention to his personal
and representative obligations are his promi-
nent traits The history of his public and
private life is arccord oitoil. Take for illus
tration, the session of Congress Just closed.
He is a member of five committees-Post-
Otlicesand Post-Roads, Pensions, Agriculture,
Census, Railroads, and chairman of the lat
ter. The aggregate of bills favorably reported
by him from these committees is four hum
drcd and siXty.four. In each instance he has
made careful examination and written re-
port, and the statements he has submitted
have in every case been accepted as conClu-
sive. From the Committee on Post Offices
and Post-Roads he has reported favorable
over one hundred nominations.
Over four hundred and fifty Of the bills
he has reported have passed, being about
one fourth of all the bills that have passed
that body this session.
Said Senator Beck on the floor ofthe Sem
ate: / do not call for the reading of re-
port when the Senator from Wisconsin adj
vises me that he has examined the case and
it is all right" 1t is the confidence and re-
spect he has won from men of all parties
that has given him an influence second to
that Of no man in either branch of the ma
tional councils.
lie became citizen OF Wisconsin before
oh. Il
and he has served her with uninterrupted
and unseliish zeal.
While he was member of the House the
late Senator Howe said this of him in the
Green Bay Adrocdic:
"No district in the United States has sent
to Washington an honester man or u more
efficient representative. | do not know of
an interest he has abused or neglected. At
the same time l do not know a man more
tolerant of or generous to his political OPP
ponents. His early education was limited,
but he was born u gentleman and he has
lived gentleman in all his relations of life.
He is to-day as widely and familiarly known
to the picked men who represent this great
Republic in Congress and is as universally
respected as any man in either House."
With how much greater force do these
honest words apply to him now than when
they were uttered more than fifteen years
ago.
Mr.. Blaine in his "Twenty Years Review
of Congress-" says: at is easy to supply
superlatiyes in eulogy of popular favor
ties, but Mr.. Sawyer, in modest phrase, de-
serves to be ranked among the best of men,"
Briefly, this is the record of one who, in
the best sense of the phrase, is a self-made
man.
Senator Sawyer is a man in the full vigor
of health, and his powers of endurance are
simply marvellous.

The senior Senator from Wisconsin, Phi
letus Sawyer, was born at Whiting, Ver-
mont, September %, 1916 lie was educated
in the common schools of that early period,
and at the age of seventeen commenced life
for himself. InlS47, with asmall capital that
he had earned and saved, he went TO Wiscon-
sin and engaged in the lumber trade. His
success was at first gradual, but asteady
and prosperous progress he became one Of
the most extensive manufacturers in the
West.
1t was probably the sagacity and prudence
exhibited in the management of his own
affairs that induced the, people Of his. State

In wider sphere than that of the local

sides and there laid to rest forever"
He was nominated and taken bodily by
his followers to the platform. At the same
moment the motion prevailed which made
the nomination unanimous. The result
proved his election by u splendid majority,
and he entered the House of Representatives
at the extra session, October 1877, the
youngest manin that distinguished assembly
Here he rapidly developed peculiar facul-
ties for legislative work, and won, among
others, the admiration and Jealous support
of those who at first had accused him of
youth and predicted his failure.
In the important Committee Of Commerce
where he served four years, his capacity and
success were unprecedented. His speeches
in the House Were always received with great
consideration. He spoke only when he had
something to say, and knew the time, the
subject, and the manner.
In all his relations with Congress, the
people Of his own State and his fellow-citi-
zens of the entire country he has been ex-
ceedingly fortunate, one of whom the land
is proud, and humanity.

A grain of produce is worth pound of

Boosters are cousins to liars.
Confession of fault makes half amends.
Denying fault doubles it.
Envy shooteth at others and woundeth
herself
Foolish fear doubles danger.
God reaches us good things by our
hands.
He has hard work who has nothing
to do
1t costs more to revenge wrongs than to
bear them.
Knavery is the worst trade.
Learning makes man fit company for
himself.
Modesty is guard to virtue.
Not to hear conscience is the way to 81

One hour to-day is worth two tomorrow.
Proud looks make foul work in fair

Quiet conscience gives quiet sleep.
Richest is he that wants least.
Small faults INDUCED are little thieves
that let in greater.
The boughs that bear most hang lowest.
Upright walking is sure walking.
Virtue and happiness are mother and

they find,
You never lose by doing good turn.

THE FARM LANE.
BY ALBERT B. STREET.

nj Al&BEiNl De S1hASEA.
1t opens from the farm-yard gate,
And dips across the orchards breast,
Curves round ledge, then chambers straight
To the wide woodland on the crest.
Green at the curve thicket stands,
PilIared with stems of elms and oaks.
And plumed with speckled sapling-wande
Where brambles hang their summer cloaks.
Broad from the uplands brow the scene
ofmeadow, grove, and field expand;
Grain billowing in its breezy green,
And furrowed breasts of seeded land.
The old red farmstead on its bank;
The chimney like tower of stone;
The woodshed opening from its flank;
The barn and haystack's russell cone.
Pleasant at eve that busy lane,
When all the farms freed habitants
Come trooping home, a loosening chain,
From their far-off accustomed haunts.
Her cross-step course old Crookburn points,
Through sorrel-dots and johnsworts stars,
The shadows Pickering in her joints,
Down to the corner-lOWered Dars.
Her red flank dark with crusted soil,
She swings her cud in dropping doze;
While past her, weary with his toll,
Loosed from the pillow, old Dobbin goes.
The colt pricks sharp his speaking ears,
Stamps his slim foot and shrilly neighs
Beside his dam, that, sluggish, near
Stops, loudly breathing, to her Craze.
The guinea fowls in brindled spots
Brake as Bays hoof the flock divide;
And Carlo curls in changing knots.
Now biting knee, now tapping side.
When the soft twilight's amber glow
And dewy sweetness fills the scene,
Blocks of prone black, strewn thickly, show
Where couch the cattle on the green.
As fragrant darkness blots the lane,
The beetle breaks the calm intense;
The freely watts its glittering grain;
The tree-toad croaks upon the fence.
But when reigns midnight's starry state,
The beetle seeks his chink; no more
The glow-worm signals to its mate;
The fire-hy's transient throb is DER.
And as the daybreak steals in gray
The cattle mounds to raise begin;
The dark massed weeds to break away;
The banks and ruts their shapes to win.
In Autumn, corn in golden glow,
Hillocks of hay and amber wheat,
And apples heaped in tempting show
The gladdened looks of labor greet.
In Winter smooth the lane in white;
The walls o'ertopped: all access barred
Until the straining horses fight
Their wallowing passage to the yard.
But now the sunset colors stream;
Huddle the sheep; in severing train
The cattle pace all gaily CLEAN
While crowding down the goldened lane.
See Clodpole mounts the wagon horse
Sidewise and slings the harness Ger;
Then from the near field takes his course,
Slow, jogging toward the stable door.
His whistle and the robins lay
Mingles as he recedes from sight;
And now the new moons silvery ray
Brightens to gold, and so goodnight.
