Wotnan's Career.

She was fair girl graduate, enrobed in spot
less white,
And on her youthful features shone a look OF
holy light.
She bent with grace her dainty head to re.
- ceive the ribbon blue,
Whence hung the silver medal, adjudged to
be her due.
watched her face with rapture as she raised
to heaven her eyes,
And moved her lips in prayer as her fingers
clasped the prize,
For knew to education she had pledged her
coming days,
To unclasp poor woman's fetters and free her
from mans ways.
Time passed. Our pathways parted, but ever
and anon
My thoughts would stray toward her, and I'd
speculate upon
what my graduate was doing, If athwart the
scroll of fame,
Among unselfish workers, had been written
nigh her name.
AT last CHANGED to meet her, but her books
were pushed aside,
While around dainty garment she sewed the
lace with pride,
And at her feet her baby, dimpled, happy,
growing youth,
Upon that silver medal was cutting his first
tooth.

CONGRESSMAN FLOWER of New York
wants postmasters elected by the peo-
pie of the various cities, towns and
villages in which they serve, instead
of appointed, as at present, by the
president or postmaster general. Mr.
Flower intends to introduce this sub
ject into the coming congress and
what mighty howl will be raised ur
against it by the half-million Repub
licans who want to be appointed post
masters.

last getting tired of the treatment he
receives from the party that has claimed
his vote for so many years. Whatever
the reason the fact of the change is well
proved in Virginia. Democratic negroes
are no longer curiosities, but they are

REPUBLICAN members of congress
from Southern States are giving the
country an object lesson as to why
they are so few in number. In the
speakership contest their votes are
offered to the candidate who promises
the largest return in the way of pat
ronage. If they are true represen-
tatives of the Republican party in the
South it is well that it is no stronger
than it is.-Phila. Ledger (Rep.).

Ir is reported from Pittsburg that
the failure of the Lawrence Bank "has
caused but little furry in financial
circles" The depositors are mainly
working people, who have all their
savings involved in the wreck, but as
the individual deposits are small
these capitalists are not included in
Financial circles" and their furry
and excitement do not count for
much.
