THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
Dur Girls and Slang Grand fathers
Advice My Good Little Girl
a Modern Heroine

A Modern Heroine.
MOI every heroine needs must dc
Some gallant thing.
That thrills nation through and through
All wondering.
Not every heroine needs must stand
In blaze of glory.
Talked of and praised by all the land
In poem and story.
Felicia is my heroine's name,
And brave is she,
AS any maiden known to fame
Or chivalry.
Dark, truthful eyes, loving mouth,
A sweet fair face;
"A very maiden OF the South,
With all its grace.
And she was loved as she should be,
BY one good, true;
NO filter, worthier mate than he,
AS well she knew.
But great trust was hers to hold
With courage rare;
mother crippled, yet not old.
Must be her care.
And brothers, sisters growing up,
Asked all her love;
And she-she gladly took the cup
From God above.
And with brave heart said "Good-bve'
To him so dear,
And followed Duty earnestly
With scarce a tear.
Since then full twenty years have sped.
And from the nest
The little ones in turn have fled
On many quest
But the old mother still remains
Her daughters care.
And 10! my heroine finds her gains
All centred therei
The dear old face oft at her wlles
CLOVIS like the sun;
In fancy then the master smiles
And says, "Well DONE"
An old, old story this, you say,
Thank God, it is!
We meetsuch heroines every day;
just such as this!

The proposition for the admission OF
South Dakota into the Union was unex-
pectedly sprung upon the house. The
humdrum ming routine which usua lily marks
the consideration OF appropriation bills
was proceeding, when without a
moment s notice a warm political
debate was precipitated. When o.
passage in relation to government
officials in Dakota was reached, Mr.. Gif-
ford took the floor and in an extempora.
neous speech gave expression to his views
on Dakota, which he said was suffering I'M
der a miserable carpet bagging system OF
government. Her judges, governor and all
the state officers were taken from other
sections OF the country and sent to rule
over Dakota. The governor, when in Of
flee, appointed about ninety officials, and
the judges appointed clerks and other
court officials. None OF those people were
the choice OF Dakota, but were forced up.
on her. Mr.. Clifford asked leave to print
his remarks in the Record. and then Mr.
Butterworth, who had charge OF the Repub-
lican end OF the debate on the legisla.
tive bill Yielded ten minutes time to Mr..
Baker of New York. who covered the
general grounds of Dakota's demand for
admission. Springer, who had come over
to the aisle to closely follow the
speaker, arose to reply. Butterworth,
oyme5 OF colorado, representatives
Gear, Kerr and Struble of Iowa and others
pounced upon Springer like hawks as soon
as he had begun to speak, and for hall an
hour there was a lively discharge OF ora
torical musketry at short range. The
whole house, Democrats and Republicans,
laughed heartily at the figure Springer cut
as question after question, and shot after
shot was poured into him, but it had no
effect whatever upon him, and he ..bobbed
