LITTLE TOILERS.

They drive home the COWS fl ON the pasture
Up through the long shady lane.
Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat
field
All yellow with ripening grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses.
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry grows
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson bud of the rose.
They LOSS the hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder bl ooms white.
They fl nd where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft tinted October light.
They know where the apples hang rlpest,
And are sweeter than Italy's wines;
They know where the fruit is the thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate sea weeds
And build tiny castles of sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land.
They wave from the tall, rocking tree-tops.
Where the orioles hammock nest swings,
And at night time are folded in slumber
By a song that a fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are str 5ngest,
The humble and poor become great;
And from those brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and statesman,
The noble and wise of our land;
The sword and chill sci and palette -
Shall be held in that little brown hand.

The victory which therepublicans obtain
ed by their now openly confessed 'trade" in
New York, and which they could not have
got without trading Governorship for a
Presidency, is likely to be fatal victory for
them They are in deep water. The peo-
pie everywhere begin to compare the four
years of quiet, prosperity and peace all over
the land under democratic management
with the turmoil, restlessness and increas-
ing decentralization and disorder which at
tend the republican reinstatement; and as
the people want before all things peace, or
der, good will and prosperity, the compari.
son is very damaging to the republicans.
The people of this country do not like polit-
ical experiments; they prefer the well trod-
den constitutional ways, tanner though these
may be. They begin to see that republican
ascendancy meaus needless political turmoil,
continued favors to the league of corpora
tions and capitalists at the expense of the
mass of the people, wasteful expenditures
as the excuse for high taxes, and high taxes
used to ''protect'' trusts, combines and oc--
porations.
Senator Allison ia right-''the conditions
have changed" but it is the condition of
public opinion which has really changed.
That has so rapidly and greatly altered that
the people are to-day ahead of even the Mills
bill, and by 1892 will demand such tariff
revision as may leave even that great tariff
reformer, Senator Allison, behind the age.
There are many signs throughout the
land that the country is tired of federalism
and begins to swing back to genuine demo-
cracy, which means the repeal of restrictive
laws and the opportunity once more for
Americans to work in the old American
way, without the help and, better yet, with
out the hindrance of paternal government.

Pretty Months

Should have pretty teeth in them, but it is
not unusual to see between rosy lips, teeth
discolored and decaying through neglect.
This disfguring defect should be repaired
without delay, by using fragrant SOZO
DON'T, which removes every particle of tar
tar from the teeth and renders them snowy
white. This admirable aid to beauty is
perfectly harmless and exhales most de-
lightful aroma, and is in every respect pref
erable to the ordinary tooth pastes and
powders. Try it and see for yourself.

About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, l saw by an ADVERTISE
ment in Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla I then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months. am
pleased to say that it effected COM
plete cure, and that have since had no
return of the disease"
Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashua, N. H.,
writes: "One year ago 1 was taken i'll
with rheumatism, being confined to my
house six months. 1 came ont of the
sickness very much debilitated, with no
appetite, and my system disordered in
every way. l commenced to use Ayers
Sarsaparilla and began to improve at
once, gaining in strength and soon re-
covering my usual health. I cannot say
too much in praise Of this well-known
medicine
81 have taken a great deal of medi-
cine, but nothing has done me so
much good as Ayers Sarsaparilla. I
felt its beneficial effects before I had
quite finished one bottle, and I can
freely testify that it is the best blood
medicine 1 know Of" W. Ward, Sr.,

DECISION ON A MINISTER'S MARRIAGES.

DECISION ON MINISTER'S MARRIAGES.
The Rev. Peter Erich, pastor of the German Evan
gelical Lutheran Church, at Hudson and Eighth sts,
has obtained vindicatlon from tie Theological
Faculty in Philadelphia, which is the governing body
Of the Evangelical Lutheran churches. short time
ago Mr. Erich made his third matrimonial venture.
and married buxom and handsome widow. Some Of
his Pensioners objected 10 this because his second
wife is still living although he is divorced from her.
A sensation was created about four years ago. when
Mrs. Erich No. left her husband and went to live
would assign for her action that she considered
herself Intellectually unsuitsd for minister's wife.
Mr. Erich urged her persistently to return, but she
remained firm in her determination. Finally, Mr..
Erich obtained divorce on the ground of abandon
ment his wife making no defence. When he married
the third time many of his Pensioners condemned his
action and there considerable talk OF asking for
his resignation. 1t decided 10 refer the case to
the Theological Faculty. and that body has given a
Church which prevents either divorced minister or
layman from marrying again.
