Tom las had the advantage OF an education from
a good priest They were so much alike they

clothes. The Prince invites Tom TO his room,
and there IN spirit OF fun, exchanges clothes

exchange is made ana the Prince makes his aD-
pearance in the palace yard lie IS naturally taken
for The pauper ana IN spite of his protests he is
driven from the palace yard. ION, the pauper,

sion he seeks TO convey is that took advantage
OF his resignation to secure the position he va
Gated, and that the proposed tour was bul a part
OF my scheme.

Tow little the left hand knoverr
The deeds tiat are done by the right,
How little tbenight time showeth
It's sorrcrful shades to the light.
How few Of the hearts that are broken
Betray to the breaker their grief;

Are the crushed souls cuiy relief. ..
Alas, for the chi!dIl,e Giadnass

And alas, and alas, for the sadness

Still nearer when sunlight IS fed,
Until youth, AMI youths last changeful

Grow old, and grow cold a. the dead.

To heaven, refuse Us their hold:
That the dear lips that whisper God speed

Are the lips that are the first to grow cold
But love, we are nearer the da"ning,
Just there is the heavenly light,
And how little the glorious morning

In one Of the well-known jewciry stores
on Broadway there is g most accomplished
floor walker, whose never failing urDaDicy
and cOurtesE4 have won him no end OF
friends among the patrons Of the cstao-
Iishmcnt. By no one, either in the store
or out OF 1t, cZcepg his employer, IS it
suspected that his occupation is other
than the one it seems. Yet the mans
profession is that Of n detective, and his
real services to the establishment are quite
apart from those of ali usher. The firm
also constantly employs dozen other de-
tectives, not one Of whom knows the real
calling of the man. and it is a part Of his
duty to exercise as close a scrutiny over
the detectives as they do over the Gus
toners of the store. lie is the detective s
detective, in fact, though to their credit
it is to be said, that he has never had a
case even of suspicion against one Of
them.
Tie ieweler does not depend wholly
upon his battalion of HaWl1shaws TO pro-
tect his property. For instance, take
the trays in which the rings arc displayed.
Each tray is 50 constructed that d ring
cannot be removed until spring has
been pressed and catch releases it.
The spring IS at the end Ct the tray to-
ward the clerk, and 1t is part Of his bust
ness to press it 50 that the customer can
not see the action. The reason for this
is obvious Many customers like TO lift
the rings from the tray, and If they
were permitted to do it there would be a
general displacement and many embar-
RAISING situations might follow. The in
vention is as much protection to the
customer as it is to the clerks and the
! proprietor.-AeU York San.

To the Editor of the Free Press:
Vermont is one of the small States, yet
no one in the Union has more influence in
the United States Senate than the Green
Mountain State The reason is obvious. 1t
has long been the policy of Vermont to
place men of superior ability in the United
States Senate and then keep them there for
many years. The predecessors of Senators
Ednunds and Morri were men of great
ability and influence. Vermont is now re-
duced to two members of Congress- and we
are to have new member in the first dis
trict. There are several gentlemen in near
ly every county in the district than Will
average with the lower House of Congress,
all true men. WIN the people take one of
them or shall we follow the example of the
settled policy of the State and select a man
that will rank high above the average to
represent us. What Vermont has lost
in numbers, should be made up
with man of tried ability and expert
ence, if we are to retain the prestige
of the past. In the canvass now going
on we have an example of the Office seeking
the man and not the man the office.
Judge Powers has been holding courts right
along, attending to his legitimate duties,
and yet nothing in the future is more GER
tain than that he will carry solid the four
counties north of Addison. This has not
been accomplished by wire pulling, button
holng,. but by the well known prominence
of Judge Powers to honor Vermont in Con
gress. A.

From the Boston Transcript.
John w. Stewart carries too many brains
on his shoulders to approve any measure of
such petty partisanship SO subversive of
sound constitutional principles, shortsighted
in its seeking after a temporary advantage,
as is the McComas bill, which makes "a
wicked democratic gerrymander in Ohio the
excuse for fastening upon the state an
equally wicked republican gerrymander, and
which not only proposes for the future to
prevent redistrictng for 10 years, regard
less of changes in population, but attempts
until after the next census to hold present
district lines intact, regardless of the
changes of the past 10 years. and even essays
cc post fdcto legislation to save republican
districts i'll Ohio and Maryland 1t is to be
hoped for his own credit that Gov. Stewart
will fight the bill as sharply as he seems in
clined to do. Such an assertion of indie
pendence of party dictation would hand
somely close his congressional service and
would add to his reputation in the future
as did Judge Poland attitude in the Arkan-
sas case, in lS1475.

Four Score Wears.

Senator Justin S. Morrill, is eighty years
old to-day, and it is doubtful if he has at
any time in his long and honorable life of
usefulness commanded more respect, eXerted
more influence, or was ever more faithfully
engaged in the performance of duty than
now. If our readers will recall the men of
eighty years of age whom they know, and
who are actively engaged in the business Of
life, they will the better realize how few there
are of his own age to keep the Vermont sena-
tor company. With twelve years of public
service in the House and over twenty three
in the Senate, making a grand total of
thirtyfve NEARLY thirtysix years of con
tinous and distinguished service in Con
gress, he is a representative Nermonter of
whom the State and nation may well feel
proud
The story of his life is familiar to Yer
monters. He received only an academic
education; at fifteen was employed in a
country store, receiving for his first year
service the modest sum of forty five dollars;
was later engaged in mercantile and still
later in agricultures pursuits; was in 1854
elected a representatives to Congress, and five
times thereafter reelected and in 1861 was
advanced to ;he Senate Of the United States,
where an apprecative people have kept him
until to-day, and where he will doubtless
remain SO long as he may desire.
1t was long distance from the little
country store to the position he now holds
but it was a straight pathway to him; there
nave been no deviations, no connving, III
political trckory involved in his steady
advancement. The people of the State
have honored and trusted him. and he has
never disappointed them. 1t is not .neces
sary that we cali attention to the more
