Too Few They Art

ritten for the Sunday Journal.I
Too Few They Are.
Too few they are who know the worth
OF sympathetic lives and hearts,
And fewer still whose souls give birth
To noble impulse which imparts
TIE courage they themselves may feel
To change brothers woe to veal.
And few they are who understand
The value which a word contains,
When spoken, with an outstretched hand,
To him who labors, struggles, strains
Beneath a burden carried long
On paths remote from smile and song.
And yet, the world is full of men
And women, too, who claim to be
Possessed of courage TO defend
Their kind against adversely,
But who have never learned the way
To throw on others paths ray.
No moro the sunshine of a life
Is yours mine than tbs the worlds,
And he, whose way with joy is rife,
From Natures grandest height but hurls
His silly self, when he would fold
1t to his bosom all untold.
Another's Joy becomes our own
When we are asked that Joy to share;
And thus thousand hearts are sown
With seeds producing flowers rare,
While he who gives but reaps the moro
Of golden sunshine from the store.
Could we but make our lives imoart
That nobler self we all must feel,
brothers woe would soon depart
In presence of a brothers veal.
And. blending thus, they soon would be
Each to the other company.
The way is long DER prairie land
To him who travels cen by steam;
And crowded city, where no hand
Extends in greeting, we'll may seem
Oft worse to him who treads the way
Than moonless night or sunless day.

Lines to q Withered Leaf
All withered leaf thy faded hues doth bring
Sweet memories of hours long passed by
The warm and bany breath of smiling spring;
The tanning winds and deeply bright ming sky.
In those Favonian days thou hadst thy birth.
And from thy opening shell didst gayly look
Upon the wintry- TT anced and wakenng earth,
The winsone flower and the babbling brook.
Cheered by thy sweet companions thou didst grow,
And in the ray of summer blossomed brights
The singing wind by thee passed to and fro.
And sweet. sustaining dews In time of night.
Beneath thy fathers boughs serene reposed
The robin, when the daylight's beauty closed,
Amid thy bowers sang his vesper tune.
And when September's heaven softly shed
Ger meadow. hill and wood her gentle ray,
Thy vernal hues changed to a sunset red
And deepened as the hours stole away.
And then came by November's roaring blast
And in thv vale his blaring trump did sound;
Thee lone and friendess to the forest ground.
There thou neglected and unknown didst lie
Until dreamer happened there day,
And, viewing thee with admiring eye,
He took thee up and carried thee away.
The beams of heaven TO thy summer prime
Give back all tints that TO thee did belong,
And thou shalt blossom in the poets cline,
Fed by sweet dews and wooed by winds of song.

.sIn This Cradle Life of Ours"
The world swings slowly back and forth
From dawn to dusk from dusk to dawn.
And we forget the Hand that rocks
But cradle-like the world swings on.
A little while to stir and fret
Or sob with trembling lip,
Because the sunbeams we would grasp
Through helpless fingers slip.
A little while to moan, and start
From fevered dreams. and weep.
For still the cradle sways and swings
Until we fall asleep.

To weary heads. and who can tell

SAYS: layers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form

The Old Church.
Close to the road it stood. among the trees,
The old, bare church, with windows small and high,
And open doors that gave, meeting DAY,
welcome to the careless passer-by.
Its straight, uncushioned seats. how hard they
seemed,
What penance.doing form they always wore,
To little heads that could not reach the text,
And little feet that could not reach the floor.
What wonder that we hailed with strong delight
The buzzng wasp, slow sailing down the aisle,
Or, sunk in sin, begu;led the constant fly
From weary heads, to make our neighbor smile.
How softly from the church yard came the breeze
That stirred the cedar boughs with scented wings,
And gently famed the sleepers heated brow,
Or duttered Grandma Barlow's bonnet-strings.
With half-shut eyes, across the pulpit bent,
The preacher droned in soothing tones about
Some theme that. like the narrow windows high,
Took in the sky but left terrestials out
Good, worthy man, his work earth is done,
His place is lost the old church passed away;
And with them, when they went. there must have
gone .
That sweet bright calm, my childhood's Sabbath
day.

article is selling in this country for
IS cents a pound, or actually Tor I'D
cents a pound less than the duty
Turning to hardware we find the
present price of steel rails IN TINS
country Is S33 a ton. The duty IS
Sl7 and the freight $3.50, together
making $3.50, the tax on importes
rails. This deducted from $50
leaves 1880, which should DO the
British price Of steel rails, If the
Presidents theory is correct. But
the British price IS, in fact, S2O,
instead of $3.50.
Further, the steel rail industry
in this country was built up under
duty of S2S ton. In 1888 steel
rails were sold here for $27, Just
one dollar less than the original
duty.
fake another illustration. The
price of cut nails in Philadelphia
~ $500 for keg of one hundred
pounds. The duty on cut nails is
$1.25. II the above proposition
be correct, cut nails should be
bought anywhere on earth for less
than SL5O key.
Again, cut nails have been sold
IN this country AZ low as Sl.o1 a
lieg of one hundred pounds, while
the duty was $3.50 u keg. Thus,
according to the Democratic clfcu'
lar, cut nails must then have been
pnrchasable in Europe for 30 cents
a keg.
Three ply carpets are sold in
England at 2s. Cd, or G24 cents
per yard. Add 30 per cent taxes
to this and the price wonld be 93Y
cents per yard. Yet you can buy
better and more artistic carpets at
Dobson's or Sloane's for G24 cents
per yard than you can for the same
money in England.
And so 1t is with every article of
general consumption which the
masses of the people buy. AS for
the cost of the Bible, the Democrats
who get up such literature are not
likely to pay the tax. Bibles are
plentiful and cheap. The Press
will not answer these back number
questions again this campaign, so
those interested will please paste
/ this in their scrap books and stop
sending the circular to The Press.
We are too busy graphing with

and answer statements which on
their face presuppOse the farmers
Of the country to be fools.
They are not, but know more
about this question than the free
traders who try to instruct them.

rapids to Lewiston, a distance oil
three miles, where a fisherman
picked him up exhausted at 7:3O
