OUR CANDIDATE.

The ExPOsiT0R was the first paper
in this Congressional district to square
ly endorse General lIartsuff as the
republican candidate for Congress.
Our article placing his name before the
people has been extensively copied by
the press OF the district. and it seems
now that the tide is setting overwhelm-
ingly in his favor. His marked ability,
pure character. splendid record and ex-
tensive experience seem now to be
recognized by all and it is generally
conceded that he will make strong
candidate and the best Congressman
this district has had for many years. 1t
looks now as though the General would
get there, and if he does the people may
rest assured that the wrongs inflicted
by the tariff tinkering of Mr.. Whiting
will be righted, and that their interests
will not farther be misrepresented
The EXPoSITOR takes some pride il
being the pioneer in this matter.

MEASURING THE BABY.

We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
lily grew at the threshold.
And the 10Y was just as tall!
A royal tiger lily,
With spots ef purple and gold,
And a heart like iewelcd chaIice,
The frae rant dew to hold.
Without the bluebrds whistlcd
High up in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees:
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never II moment still!
Snatching at shine and shadow
That danced on the lattice sill,
His eyes were wide as bluc-bellS-
His mouth like a flower unblown-
Two little bare teet, like funny white mice,
Peeped out from hIs snowy gown?
And we thought, with a Thrill OF rapture,
That yet had touch of pain,
When June rolls around with her roses,
We'il measure the boy again.
All me. In q durkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like bitter rain,
We measured the boy today:
And the little bare feet that were dimpIed
And sweet as a budding rose.
Lay side by side together
In the hush OF long repoSe!
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn.
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of heaven thereon
And the dear little hands. like rose leaves
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons as white as snow,
For the shining rosewood cdsket
That waited him below:
A nd out OF the darkened chamber
We went with "a childless moan
To the hee mt of the sinless angels
Our little one had grown!
Hearth and Home

was the happiness in her that danced,
and that was beautiful to see. SeppI,
in sudden frenzy of Joy, ground the
organ, beat the kettle, rang the bells.
John stood laughing with the others,
but he was more touched than they.
Poor and idle as he was, he had been
able to do something yet in life.
Some of the ladies had disappeared,
and came back now with a valise
packed with pretty little gowns for
Anita, bright colored ribbon and toys.
There was even a present for Maria
and the bambino at home. The child,
flushed and sparkling, bowed low to
them all as she bade them farewell
But she ran up to John, and falling on
one knee she kissed his hand.
81 will pray for you, signor," she
said.
As Seppi and the child disappeared,
the boarders at Prout's sauntered up to
the house to supper. Mr.. Mccain
walked with Israel.
"That is a good fellow" he said.
"And he speaks Italian well. We want
secretary in our New York house who
is master Of French, Italian and Ger
man. I'll write for this lads references,
and if they are satisfactory he shall
have the place at once
They'll be all ri ight," said Israel.
That pretty little artist, Bessy Henry,
had watched the whole scene from her
hammock, herself unseen. She, too,
looked after John as he walked home
across the marshes.
GLOW good he is p she thought, her
eyes growing soft and tender. "There
is nobody like him ! But he has for
gotten"-
John, crossing the marshes, hummed
a tune to himself. How fine were those
gray tints in the sky, and the soft
browns and crimsons in the swamps-
could anything be more delicate! The
minnows and crabs shooting through
the coffee colored water Of the creek,
the blue dragon-f -fies-how happy they
all were He wished he could have
shaken hands with every one of those
men and woman who had made Seppi
and the child SO glad for life. The
world was SO good and so full of gen.
erous and friendly souls 1t was enough
to be alive.

SAVE YOUR DIMES.

Two young men walked into
cigar store the other day, and one of
them bought and paid for two cigars.
The cigars cost ten cents each, and
the man who sold them handed
back, in change for the silver dollar
that had been rendered him, eighty
cents il ten cent pieces. Thereupon
one of the young men laughed
vociferously, and the other, who
bought the cigars, pocketed the eight
dimes, with an expression approach
ing chagrin, and said: "Tust my luck,
by George. However, said he,
after lighting his cigar, eff there's
any more spending to be done, old
fellow, you've got to do it, for Pm
broke" "
When the young man left the store
the cigar man turned to a reporter
who had witnessed the transaction
and said:
'Do you know what that means?"
mo"
ct means that the young fellow
who bought the cigars is at the same
time eig ty cents ahead and eighty
cents behind. He is ahead in money
that he will save, and behind in
money that he probably wanted to
use today"
Il don't understand YOU"
"Well, the young man has simply
caught the dime saving craze"
"And what is the dime saving
craze?"
THE scheme is never to spend a
dime. 1t was was probably devised
for the benefit Of thritless people
who are not able to save their money
in regular way, and for plan of
saving money it is the best | ever
heard OF. You make up your mind
to keep every dime that comes into
your possession. You are never to
part with ten-cent piece under any
circumstances. Whenever you re-
ceive a dime in change put it away,
and when you get home place it in a
receptacle for safe keeping. The
more dimes you get in change the
greater your savings will be. You
are to make any sacrifice rather than
to part with one dime. If you have
nothing but dimes in your pocket
when you want a cigar, go without
the cigar. If you want lunch and
have nothing but dimes, go without
lunch; the result will astonish you ~
