Life'S Lesson.

Life'S Lesson.
O weary hearts that throb with bitter grief,
And seem to keep time with the aching
brain;
0 tired eyes that nightly vigils keep.
Aud pale lips shutting back the pain
Remember other hearts are heavy, too:
Little We know the crosses others bear;
We hear laugh and see happy smile,
And never dream they hide burning tear.
The sad, sad story that our own lives tell,
Repeats itself in many q human breast;
And in the impress tired faces wear
We read their sorrows through their smiles
confessed.
The sympathy we crave can come alone
From those whose feet have passed the same
rough way;
And so we learn the lesson-hard indeed
That darkest night may bring the brightest
day.

The Cleveland Cradle.

Chambers burg Eclectic Review.
A recent issue of the Pulaski
(Tenn.,) weekly CITIZEN contains
an account of the finding OF the era
die in which president Cleveland
was rocked when baby.
The account says that when he
was an infant his father lived near
Batavia, Ohio, and when he remov-
ed to New York his cradle, manu-
featured by the Cleveland brothers,
was left behind and fell into the
hands of sutler, who afterwards
went to Pulaski. During the late
war his place was sacked by Nor
cams cavalry and he had to flee for
his life. Green jackson, 81 celored
man who hauled him to Lawrence,
now remembers that cradle was
thrown into creek.
A few days ago, while two citizens
of Pulaski we're fishing there, they
discovered an old-looking object in
the stream, drew it out and .discOv-
ed it was 8 cradle 1t was thrown
into the wagon for a seat and as it
fell The end board split and piece
OF paper dropped out. The end
had been made of two pieces OF
board followed and glued together.
Ga the paper was written: made
hi J. and S. Cleveland, Batavia, o."
Enough of the paper was decipher-
Ell to show that it was made for
Stephen Grover, son of Aaron. The
president was notified by Mr. Rich
ardson, who made the discovery,an
received the following reply:
WHITE HOUSE, Nov. 20, 1885.
.Hr. i. i. Richardson:
SIR: Yours was duly received bat
was unanswered until l could inquire
into the facts. l am fully persuaded
that the cradle Is genuine. L have Of
ten heard my mother speak of it, and
since the war tried to get it, but learn
ed that a German peddler had got it. L
shall be glad to receive q photograph,
and if you will part with the cradle it
self, L will be glad TO accept any mon
e ed terms you desire.
Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

The Memphis Appeal
FOR 1896.

EUR 1886.
The Appeal enters upon its forty
sixth year ripe in the experience OF the
past, and full OF hope for a future for
the whole country, but especially for
this and the neighboring states that
shall surpass the dreams of the most
sangulne of the early settlers. All the
questions growing out of slavery, and
which left the north and the south di-
vided for nearly three generations, have
been settled, and the states have adj
justed themselves to the new conditions
in a spirit of unity, peace and concord.
There are, therefore, no issues before
the country that are not common to all
the people, and that are not of an eco
nomical and national character. There
are no questions before the national
legislature that do not equally affect
the interests OF all the states and that
cannot be discussed from a basis OF
personal welfare by the citizens OF all
OF them. For the future therefore leg
islation both national and state is to be
of n business character, and is for that
reason TO come home closer and closer
TO the Individual citizen. Personal
politics is, with the bosses, to be rele-
gated to the past, and civil service re-
form is to secure to the country homes
places. The political outlook is all
that could be desired. President Cleve-
land has made an abiding impression
upon the country, and at the close of
his administration will have reconciled
even his political opponents to a con-
tinuanee OF democratic ascendency.
There is nothing to hinder or retard
the progress of the country. All the
available lands of the west taken up,
the south must for many years be the
favored SET tion tor enterprisiHg immi-
grants, and its coal and iron fields in
vite capitalists from the exhausted min
eral lands Of the north and west. A
rapid and great increase of manufac-
lures must follow, and this will neces-
state a rapid increase of our laborIng
population. The Appeal, the pioneer
in the journalistic field OF the south
west always in sympathy with the peo-
pie, will be found during the year Just
born as full of enterprise as in the past,
and animated by only the desire to
keep the lead and prompt its readers
to the increasing advantages o. our
soil and climate and geographical sit
ustion. To accomplish this no expense
will be spared. We shall continue to
make a most liberal use of the tele-
graph and TINS keep our readers in
formed OF the advance of the world, day
by day as fast as Developments in any
OF human effort are ma de
public. We shall endeaYor to keep the
Appeal up to its now high standard as
newspaper and leader OF public opinion,
and so continue to deserve the so far
confidence of a constituency
that is strongest outside of Tennessee,
in Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabams.
