You may sing OF the beauty of springtime
That CLOVIS on the cheek Of the young,
But sing offs beauty that's rarer
Than any OF which you have sung.
Tho beauty that's seen IN the faces
or woman whose summer is DER,
The autumn-hke beauty that charms us
Far mo re than the beauty OF yore.
But this beauty is seen too rarely. The
faces OF most women lose the beauty OF
youth too soon. Female disorders arc
like frosts which come to nip the flowers
which betoken good health, without
which there can be real beauty. II our
American women would fortify them
selves against the approach Of the terrible
disorders SO prevalent among them, by
using DR.. Piercc's Favorite Prescription,
their good looks would be retained to a
sweet old age" This remedy is a guar
aateed cure for all the distressing weak
nesses and arrangements peculiar to wo-
men.

THE TIN PLATE DEBATE.
How the Mckinley Bill Will Affect Fo
eign Manufacturers.

How the Mckinley Bill Will Affect For
eign Manufacturers
Commenting on the debate in the SEN
ate over the duty on tin plate The Even
ing Post says, after admitting by direct
implication the assertion of The Ameri-
can Economist that the provision of the
Mills bill taking the present duty off
from tin plate was aimed at our sheet
iron industry: They have somehow got
hold of the Republican machine-prob-
ably by contributions to the campaign
fund"
This is from paper which never men
tions the contribution of $50, 200 made to
the Democratic campaign fund by an
agent of the North German Lloyds, nor
the remarkable extension of that CON-
pany's earnings for carrying the United
States mails under the late Democratic
administration
But there are undoubtedly very heavy
financial contributions available to the
opponents of an increased duty on tin
plate. They do not, however. come
from American manufacturers. for if
they did we would miss the active in
terest displayed by The Post in this sub
ject. According to the speeches at the
Llanelly water works meeting, held
June last, where 1.-THE principal topic
of discussion was the Mckinley tariff
bill, and the probabilities of the clauses
increasing the duty on tin plate being
agreed to in the senate" the prosperity
of the Welsh tin plate makers depends
on beating those clauses. Mr. Tregon-
ing summing up the situation said:
Their destiny, however, was not in
their own hands; it was in the hands of
the congress at Washington. He might
be looked upon in this matter as pessi-
mistic, but there was no doubt that
something was going on in the United
States which, if carried out, would mean
not only a stop week, but a perpetual
stop week so far as great many of the
tin plate works in that neighborhood
were concerned"
Mr.. Rogers, another manufacturer. in |
saying 1.-THE time would come when
America would manufacture her own
tin plate" recognized the fact that all |
could not be fooled all the |
time, and that there is not money enough
available in England to continue this
country in its present wasteful practice
of paying S33, ,OOO,0 900 year to foreigners
for an article we can make ourselves
with American labor and American ma
terial
All European manufacturers will find
their profits decreased by the Mckinley
bill, for they will have to continue sell
ng goods at about the old price, after
paying increased duties. until new mills
Ire started in this country, when they
will have to sell for less price.

GRAINS OF GOLD.


Sin writes histories; goodness is silent.
Free thinkers are generally those who
never think at all
What is day without sun or man
without goodness.
They who have light in themselves
will not revolves as satellites.
There is no deep love which has not in
it an element of solemnity.
There is chord in every heart which
has sigh in it if touched Alright.
Without frugality none can be rich,
and with it very few would be poor.
In seeking wisdom thou art wise, in
thinking thou has attained it thou art a
fool.
A slander is like hornet, if you can
not kill it dead at the first blow, better
not strike at it.
Economy is wealth; but it is kind of
wealth that the rich man finds it hard to
transfer to his son.
To speak i'll upon knowledge shows a
want of charity; to speak ill upon Sus-
picion shows want of honesty.
He who can preserve sound mental
and bodily health for the longest period
is most likely to win the highest prizes.
Do not build up higher than your fOun
dation will warrant; it is the tree with
more branches than root that is blown
down.
Every man feels himself stronger in
his relations with others if he is sur
rounded with consideration, esteem, re-
spect.
The nerve that never relaxes, the eye
that never f1inches, the thought that
never wanders, are the harbingers of
victory.
Delusions are the natural consequence
es of ignorance. A lack of knowledge
of things necessitates the invention of
theory to account for it.

JESSIE BENTON FREMONT.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
That is sad story which reveals the
destitution in which General Fremont's
widow has been left. 1t is said that
when the dispatch was sent asking her
wishes in regard to the disposition of
her husbands remains she had to borrow
the money to pay for the reply. She is
now SO years of age, and lives with a
daughter aged As. She is without any
income whatever, her two sons having
large families to support and being un-
able to render her more than very
limited assistance.
How different were the circumstances
and Surroundings of the fascinating and
dashing daughter of Senator Thomas H.
Benton when the gallant young officer,
John Charles Fremont, was suitor for
her hand! As the wife of the first Re
publican candidate for the Presidency,
she was courted and f1attered by the
whole country, but in the long life battle
upon which she and her distinguished
husband had entered they encountered
more than their share of reverses.
Whatever her intrepid husband was able
to accomplish he was not money
maker, and it is sad to reflect that after
long, honorable and useful life he left
wife and daughter in a condition
bordering on destitution. Thousands
of others have experienced similar re-
verses, and the same hard lot awaits
other thousands who now stand on the
threshold of life with dazzling future
before them. There has been talk of
securing a pension for the wife of Gen.
Fremont, and the services which he
rendered to the country justly entitle
her to that consideration. In the mean
time a popular subscription has been
suggested for her benefit, and the
millionaires of the Pacific coast, the
men who followed in the wake of the
Pathfinder and reaped the advantages
of his heroic tolls and sacrifices, should
put their hands in their pockets and
make her comfortable for the remainder
of her days.

Governor of Ohio with most painstaking

been so imperfect and because he has
done far less than it was his duty to do.

No incentives that can secure contin-
ual right doing should be despised; for it
is only as the life and character become
exalted that exalted motives become
possible. On the other hand, we should
ever regard lower motives as the step of
a ladder by which we mount to some
eminence, each one of which, useful and
necessary in its turn, is gladly left for
the one above it.
