A poor soldier went to s hairdresser
in London. he wanted to get back to
the army. He had overrun his furlough,
and he wanted some help 10 get back In
quick transit. The money was given to
t1e poor soldier, who ssid to the msn
who had offered the kindness: az have
nothing to give you in return but this lit
tie worn out Ieceip. for making black,
log" he gave 1t, not thinking there wss
any value in 1t especially, and the mad
who took it did not suppose there WAS
any special value in It; but 1t ielded the
man who took it 50 SOC, 00s, and was the
foundation OF one OF the greste.t es.ates
in England. Aud thst little vote, that in
significant vote which you take

THE AWFUL SWEEP
Of this white avalanche let political fraud
go down q thousand feet under.
You have not only vote, you have q
prayer. The prayer mag be mightier than
the vote. o., ss citizsns OF this beautiful
city, and Of this state, and Of this natior
let us do our whole duty. We cannot live
under any other form Of government than
that which GGd has given US IN this coun-
try. The stsrs on Cur tsg are not the
stars of thickenirg night, bus the stars
spriDkled amid the bsrs Of morning cloud.
W. are going 70 have one government on
this entire continent. Let the despotisms
of Asia keep their feet off the Pacl COST,
and let the tyrannies of Europe Keep their
feet of the Atlantic cosst. We are
going to have one government. Mexico
will follow Texas into the Union, ard
Christianity anG civilization will stand
side by side in the halls OF the Monfezu-
mss. And IL not in our day, then in the
dsy Of ouf children, Yuca.an and Central
Americs will come in dominion, while on
the north Canada will be ours, not by
colquest-oh, no, American and Eaglisn
swords may never clash blades-6a! we
will WOO our fair neighoor
O. the north, and then En-.
gland will ssy to Canada: "You
are old enough for the marrisge DAY.
sud then, turning, will say: Cant Of the
West, go take your bride" And then
from B. iii rs bay TO the Caribbean there
will be one government under one flag,
with one destiny-a free, undispused,
.Christianizsd American continent. GOD
save the city Of Brooklyn! God save, The
eappon wealth OF New York. Gods I've
