MY HON e,

yesterday dwelt in a happy home,
safe as bird in sheltered nest;
never wished from its walls to roam,
For all the world loved it best.
ana all the bright day, so sweet and long
sang like bird, untamed and free,
For bird had never merrier song
Than the one that then was sung by me.
NOW far from the land that gave me birth,
Homeless and friendless L roam to-day.
Now here, now there, DER the changing earth
sing life's song as best may.
But the song is not like the olden one,
II has lost the charm of childish glee
There's touch Of sadness in every tone,
And tits always set to a minor key.
But know full well the morrow will come
And its evening shadows soon draw nigh
when again shall go to my home
My beautiful home for which sigh;
And all the sweet bliss for which yearn
The glad to morrow will surely bring,
And the happy song my soul shall learn
VIII be the one that the angels sing,

.Illieit s.eider-hrandr,, distillina

Illicit s'cider-brandy" distilling, i,
is claimed, is INDUCED in by some Of
the farmers in Litchfeld County, Conn.
'.Ihe cider is boiled in a copper ket-
tie, with tight cover, and pipe con.
veys the steam outside, which con-
denses into brandy in the winter air.
Ii spotter arrives, the pipe is dis
connected and the cover removed; the
spy only finds the farmer boiling cider,
which is perfectly legitimate"

looking much embarrassed.

She pretended to see her sister across
the street and hurried off, but we had
only entered the store when we ran
against Mrs. Wakefield, another neigh

Mr. Bowser had to put in with:
"Well, this beats me!''

cided the day for the Chinese. Inc sec
t;on was stricken out by vote Of % to Is,
the same army of friends OF American
labor" including Allison, Cameron, haie'
FRYE. HARRISON, Hcar, Ingalls,, warner
Miller, Morrill, and Platt voting Tor IL.
These proceedings are to be found on
nages 1859, 1888 and 8, 264, vol. Is, part
az the Congressional Record OF 1857
The friends of the bill knew that II TINS
section, which by Ben Harrison's vote mao
been stricken from the bill, were not
restored the bill would be worthless, 80,
on Anril 2Sth, they moved to restore II,
and were successful, carrying the motich
by a vote of % to 20, Ben HarSlson' Win
his Republican colleagues, voting, as
ususl, against them. Then Senator Ed
munds took a turn at the measure. In
order to allow skilled Chinese labor 10
come into the United States, he moved 10
amend 20 that the section should read:
"The words Chine se laborers,' when
ever used in this act, shall be construed 70
meau persons usually engaged IN manual
labor"
Had the amendment passed skilled Chi

have claimed to be a skilled artisan:
Promptly, again, seventeen friends Of
American labor" including Allison,
Dawes, Edmuuds, Frye, HARRISON,
Hawley, Warner Miller, Platt and Morrill,,
came to the support ofthe amendment, but
it was voted down by twenty-five mega
tive votes, cast by Democrats, ana the
scheme was beaten.
The long struggle then ended and the
bill to prohibit Chineseimmigrstion passed
by vote of 80 ayes to Is noes. The Sena,
tor from Indiana, Ben Harrison, stood
firm to the end, and voted against the bill
in compapy with the following fourteen
Republicans: Allison, Blair, Conger,
Dawes, Edmunds, Fry, Kswley, Hosr, In
gals, Lapham, Mcmillan, Merrill, Platt
and Sherman. President Arthur, in re-
spouse to the demand of the laborers OF the
country, which he could no longer resist,
signed the bill, and it is now the law. Inc
final vote on the passage OF the bill IS pre-
scented on page 3,4l2, vol. Is, part 4 OF the
C0ngressional Record for 1882.
These few extracts from the record will
show Ben Harrison in his true attitude to
American labor, and all the efforts Of ora
tors and organs cannot change it.

AFTER JOHN JARRETT.
A Laboring Man Who Doesn't Take Much
stock In His Tariff Talk.


"Why don't you get after John jar
rett?" said we'll known labor leader, who
has held number Of responsible positions
in the order to which he belongs. John
Jarrett is playing the Repub lean party in
great style. No use telling me is doing all
his high tariff talk for the love of the
cause, Why, how can he afford to sail
around as he does if it is not on Republi-
can stuff? Pretty soon he will blossom out
again and his voice will be heard in the
land wherever Republican money takes
him. As to influence with the laboripg
people, fail TO see it. He has long since
ceased TO he a laboring man. Now ne is u
high tariff hireliDg. All the influence he
ever had with laboIing men he got through
the Amalgamated Association, and that
amounts to very little outside OF that organ
ization and very little in it. bat you mark
my word, he will work the racket on the
Republicans again and fly as high as ever
this fall"
