@S child that hath a-weary grown
- OF all the work and all the play,
In which have sped the hours OF day,
az When shadowy night ascends he
throne.
HES gladly TO its mothers knee
And pillowing its tired head,
After the soft-iisp'd prayer Is said,
There falls to sleep most peacefully.
SO would / when that night draws nigh,
Which lulls us TO the deep repose
That earthly waking never knows
Unto the one, great mother fly.
So folded close 20 natures breast,
Not grieving for the day that's spent,
And not in sulIen discomfort,
HuShd soft to sleep fan would rest
Yea, hush'd to sleep without fear.
But knowing that LIES work is done,
The peace OF haryest-home is won,
The calmest time OF the long year.
Hush'd soft to sleep, without sigh,
Forgetting all tbs grief and pain
Whilst list'ning to the low refrain
or the earth-mother's lullaby.
Thus shall the fading earth then CLEAN,
AS in the vision of the child
The mothers face so fair and mild
An angels glorifed doth seem.
So, while her bright face DER me beams,
AS she doth ceaseless vigil keep.
Perchance may then drop asleep
Zen as the child to pleasant dreams.
or, If there be dreams at all
Borne in upon that slumber deep,
If on those placid shores OF sleep
No glimm'rng light shall ever fall;
And If that night shall never lift,
If on it meier a dawn shall break
The sleeper from repose to wake,
II through those clouds no light shall rift;
Why, them what matter even sof
If day Will never come again,
1t cannot bring us newer pain,
Nor hopes all laid at sunset low,
Nay, even thus II seemeth best
Whatever else beyond may be
Through all the vast eternity
To be soft-wrapped in blissful rest.
For what more do the weary ask
When near the hours OF eventide,
And slumber's gates are opened wide
Than that shall end the days hard task?
And unto those on wild waves toss'd,
What matter when the harbor found
Where they lie anchored safe and sound,
All hope to them for aye be lost.
Once more across the deep to sail,
Why should they care again to roam
Now they have gained the hayen-home?
Why should they tempt the sea and gale?
Nay, bEt they deem themselves most blest,
Escaping from the stormgod's ire.
From all the many perlls dire,
II they at last find safe their rest

At that time lived st. Hildegard, woman

her writings contains combination Of 900

Among these words is found " fingerhuth :"

mentions many articles of daily use, so that
it is proper to infer that the thimbls was
well known to the twelfth century.

engraved. must have been exceedingly in

Strange sensations must come over Mr..
BLAINE these days when he notes the quarters
from which he is winning applause rs he scores
point after point against the MCKINLEY Tariff
bill and its trainers. Mr. BLAINE shows his
shrewdness in endeavoring to get in line
with the tariff-reform sentiment which
has grown strong even in his own party.
The policy which he advocates will work out
the result for which Democratic tariff-reformers
have struggled so long, and although it will do
it under different name the whole country
will be the gamer just the same in the long run.
There is that in the published Behring Sea
correspondence which leads to the belief that
Lord SALISBURY thought Mr.. BLAINE would be
willing to sacrifice American interests in order
to cast discredit on his predecessor in the State
Department by reversal of the policy laid
down by Mr. BAYARD. If Lord SALISBURY en-
tertained such an idea he is no doubt thoroughly
rid OF it by this time. American politicians al
low their partisanship to carry them to ex-
tremes at times. But if there are any of them
so INSCRIPTIONS or so insane that they could be
tempted TO sacrifice substantial American inter
ests in order to score a party point they are
shrewd enough to know that they would have
to make all preparations for filling grave of
political infamy before they yielded to the
temptation

A WALL on DESPAIR.

The Kansas Democrat is in tears.
The editor looks out upon the politi-
col field and he sees the intelligent,
reading, thinking members Of the old
party largely in the alliance. Hope
lorsakes him and his soul refuses to
be oomforted. He points with pride"
10 the glory Of the old democracy and
appeals to democratic alliance men
not 30 forsake tho sinking craft. IN
fortunately for him the records do
not sustain his claims in regard to
the achievements Of his party. When
he undertakes to tell what the party
has done for the people he is in much
the same predicament as our republi-
can friends are when they undertake
TO tell what John j. Ingalls, has done,
and he founders around about after
the same fashion. His closing appeal
is really pathetic. II is well calCu-
lated to draw upon the lachrymal Sc
Cretions Of the bltterest political foe.
Viewing the wreck Of departed great
ness, in the bitterness Of despair, he
utters the heartrending cry:
We say 10 the democratic members Of tlle alll.
ance come home. Tears. There can be no
gTander political OrganIzatlOnt than the time hon
Orod party Of Jefferson, Jackson and Grover
Cleveland.
In his distress he has got Jefferson
and Jackson into bad company, and
we hardly expect to see any great
rush of democratic alliance men in
response to such a call
The advocate., 1890-10-08

CAPTAIN j. b. JOHNSON is authority
for a fresh batch Of falsehoods in
reference to Mr.. Willis. This same
Captain johnson remembers the time
he wss defeated as a candidate for the
Legislature from Jefferson county
largely through the influence of Mr..
Willis who, Mr. johnson would have
the people believe, has no influence
in Jefferson county. He desires now
TO be revenged for that defeat and re-
sorts to the regulation republican
tactics to accomplish his malicious
design. We desire our readers not to
get excited over this matter We
shall have something to say about it
next week. Bear in mind that ac
c0rding to republican gospel "it is
lawful TO deceive" and take no stock
Ia these scarecrow reports. 1t is inn
possible for weekly paper to reach
them all as fast as they are put in
circulation by the daily press, but the
complete exposition Of all we do reach
showing the malignancy Of the false
hoods systematically invented and pub
lished should satisfy the people that
there is no ground for any Of them.
They are simply hatched in pursu-
anoe Of Che settled policy of the party
that has accepted the ingalls, code Of
sthics as its Bible.
