A solemn sceHe a saddened heart!
Oh. Godl it is so hard to part.
Those bright blue eyes and lovely tressesl
The empty crib and useless dresses.
There is land where all is fair,
Our God reveals no sorrow there"
All pain and grief are there unknown,
To that dear home our child has gone
We mourn the loss to us so great
And cry, oh, cruel. fate!
And yet we know we ought to say
The God who gave did take away.
And as we look to yon bright shore,
Our tears are dried we weep no more
For there. in Heaven. our darling waits,
To meet US at the pearly gates.

And praises God with his right heirs
Our life is brief. anf death is near,
We soon shall be with Clara dear,
And as we labor day by day,
May God reveal the one true way.
That. when we lay life's burden down,
We may receive in Heaven a crown.

ENGLISH CLOTHING.

Eugene Field writing from England, calls attention to delusion which is widely diffused on this as well as on the other side of the Atlantic. Speaking of mems wearing apparel, he says that "in the manufacture of clothing the United States is far ahead of England" Clothes are made for lower price there than here, he acknowledges, but he adds that a suit made by good tailor in any of the leading American cities will outwear three suits made by London workmen. The best qualities of British woolen cloths are better than those woven in the United States, but when these cloths are fashioned into clothing they fail to give satisfaction. British tailors use inferior lining in the clothes they make, they neglect the seemingly unimportant but in fact highly essential details, and when they secure good fit it is due more to good luck than to skill. Nor is the clothing for the feet any better than for the body. The leather in English shoes cracks after they are worn a short time, the sewing is carelessly done, and they soon fall to pieces. There is no question that despite all flippant com ment to the contrary articles of necessity for the average man can be obtained as cheap in the United States as in Eng land. Luxuries are higher, for on these our tariff is made to press hard, but people who can afford luxuries can afford to pay more for them. For ninety persons in a hundred, however, despite the assertions of Democratic dem- agOgues, the conditions are immeasura- bly, brighter and better here. The aver age man is better housed, better fed, better clothed, and better paid, in the United States than anywhere else on earth. Why should a policy that has brought about such a condition of affairs be interiered with?

TIE Star still harps on the fact that it doesn't receive any "free lunch" from the Republican table. It had for years, through the influence of Brewster Cam eron, had free run of the United States Marshal's office, the District Attorneys office, the U. s. Land office, when Cameron was Receiver, and it's editor is not now satisfied with a Republican office that has fully paid him $500 the past year. Then he has the printing from the office of the Clerk of the U. s. Court. Verify, for a Dem- ocrat, the Star man is doing very well at the Republican free lunch and shouldn't be so greedy for more. The Star calls Mir. Zeckendorf Republican, because he holds an office which it wanted. It slurs a gentleman like Mir. Velasco because he got the privilege of publishing law that it wanted. This is silly and unmanly.

THE HEBREWS.

The new crusade which has been inaugurated in Russia against the Jews has called attention anew to the sense less prejudice against the Hebrew race. Sometime ago the editor of Tue 1meri- cdn Hebrev presented novel feature. He asked several prominent gentlemen, representing many schools of Christian thought, if in their opinion the preju- dice against the Jews is well founded, and printed their answers. Cardinal Gibbons replies that in Balti more no such prejudice exists; Dr. Mor- gan Dix, that ''so far as my experience goes l find no justification for the feel ing to which you reier;" Dr. Howard Crosby ,that"l have always regarded the Jews as a people of remarkable virtue. In family life they are models and as citi zens they are maintainers of peace and order;" Dr. William M. Taylor, Presi- dent Eliot, of Harvard; ex-President McCosh, of Princeton; George William Curtis and others in the same vein.
 The honest student of racial character istics never fails to give the Hebrews their full need of praise. They arc@ the most remark able people in the world. Their poets and prophets have place in literature which is the envy and despair of rivals. A strain of Hebrew blood is the equiva- lent of genius and the promise of excel lence. philosophy, Spinoza; in music, Mendelssohn; in dramatic art, Ristori and Bernhardt; in finance, the Roths- childs; in benevolence, Montetore; in diplomacy, Disraeli and so to an end that is almost limitless.
 Nevertheless there is no disguising the fact that the prejudice spoken of exists. It is as clear as it is unreason- able. That it is dying out everywhere but in Russia and the East is patent. As the world grows more intelligent men are not judged by facial outlines, color or nationality, but by their ambi- tions and achievements.

THE HEARTY LAUGH.
The Bible Contains No Command That
 Men Shall Laugh.


 [Gentleman's Magazine.l
 The Bible contains no cheerful ex- hortations to laughter. For the most part, indeed, it is referred to in the metaphorical scense of "scorning," as when it is written of Leviathan that "he laugheth at the shaking of a spear" But there are passages, also, where the ordinary meaning is evidently intended, and in almost every one it is eyed askance. Solomon is the great au- thorty on the subject let him speak for himself: ''I said of laughter, it is mad 1; and of mirth, what doeth it?" "Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful, and the end of that mirth is heaviness." ."Again "A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter, but a wise man doth scarce smile lit- tle." Not very encouraging, truly, to those of hilarious proclivities. It may be legitimate enough to compare the giggle of fool to "the cracking of thorns under a pot" but it seems hard that there should be no word of ap- proval for the milder merriment of the few who may be supposed not to belong to fooldom. Yes, by the way, there is one and only one: "A time to laugh" but we may search the Scriptures from Genesis to the Apocalypse without de- tecting any intimation as to when Solo mon meant the brief period of child hood, when ignorance is bliss and we are merry without knowing or caring to know why. He could not consistently recommend any such frivolity to those of larger growth after having so bitterly com mented on the practice in previous chapters.

TIE report of the House Committee on Elections in the Breckinridge case will be found on our telegraphic page this morning. It is noteworthy docu- ment, and presents the strongest possi- ble argument in favor of national election law. The report says this case presents the first instance in the history of Congress, in which the bullet of the assassin removed the contestant to a seat in that body. It recommends that the seat be declared vacant, which judg- ment the House should promptly con firm.
