but with most men 1t requires strong
reasons to induce such change after the
first vote is cast and the political status
is once fixed. Hence the Importance OF
making a right start. As long as man
lives he looks back to his first vote with
peculiar interest. He never fOrgets in
what year it was cast nor for whom. Ifit
was cast for a candidate and for princi-
pies which his mature judgment ap-
proves, the recalling OF the fact is
source OF peculiar pleasure to him. On
the other hand, IL events have proved
that he made mistake and cast his
first vote for party or candidate un-
worthy OF support, the "reminiscences is
. source of lasting regret. 1t is not
important that mans frat vote should
be cast for the party which ia success
full, but 1t will DO a source Of great sat-
isfaction to him in after life to feel that
It was cast for the party which was
right. Who among all those who cast
their first vote with the Republicans
in 1860 does not feel proud OF having
cast his maiden ballot for that great
and good Abraham Lincoln, and with
the party that saved the Union and
abolished slavery?
There are In this State large number
OF young men who will cast the first
Presidential vote next November. We
appeal to all such that, before deciding
how they will vote, they consider tho
matter we'll and decide In such way
that their action will stand the test OF
time and receive their permanent ap-
proval. We invoke comparison betw. en-
the principles, records and achieves
ments OF tho two great political parties
OF the country, betw en- what they have
done and tried to do, what they aim at,
and what they are likely to do, and we
ask every intelligent young man to de-
eide on his conscience which Is the more
worthy to receive his first vote. What
Is there In the past, the present or the
probable future OF the Democratic
party to excite the admiration or arouse
the enthusiasm Of young men? Its rec.
ord is one that any political party should
be most glad to get rid OF. 1t has
done nothing for the cause OF liberty
and progress In this country, nothing
for the cause OF human rights, nothing
to sustain the public credit. nothing to
encourage or promote American indus.
tries, nothing for the cause Of law and
order, nothing for the honor or Cory of
the nation in any way whatever. 1t has
been on the wrong side Of every great
issue during the last fifty years. Its
record is one OF treason and disgrace, OF
opposition to the government authority
and the government credis, and OF hos
tility to every measure looking to the
maintenance Of the public credit, the
establishment OF equal rights or the de-
yelopment OF American Industries. To
vote with the Democratic party as now
organised 10 to indorse all the villa.nies
and infamles Of It's past record. There
is absolutely nothing in tho past. the
present, or the probable future OF the
rarity to excite the admiration or enlist
the enthusiasm OF any generous minded
or nafr:otic vOun0 mon.

THE LITTLE WIFE.
She was Wakefhl from Headache, but Noo

She was wakefal from Headache, but Noe
for Long.
The clock struck 2 and the little
wife gazed up at it and shivered. The
room had grown quite cold, the fur.
mace did not heat the fourth floor, and
the fire in the small crate had nearly
died out, like her hopes She picked
up the sock that she had been darn
ing and continued her work, not be-
,ause. silc had not plenty OF time In
the day to sew--heT husband said that
was what allied her, too much time
and nothing to debut she could not
sleep, and when her hands were busy
her mind was active.
A step sounded on the pavement.
She lifted her head and listened. but
it went On and on, and the echo died
out in the distance. The horse car
changed by at the corner, but did not
stop there, and the street grew still
again. Was she pretty? Yes, in a
quiet way,a trifle TOO slender, perhaps,
as to figure and rather pale as to col
bring.
"Washed-out looking" said Mrs.
MacF2irter; but Mrs. MacFlirter was
the belle of the boarding house and
,resembled full-blown rose. She oc-
tcupied the sccond.story back and
played with the hearts CT the suscep.
tih!e young clerks that boarded at
Mrs Fillem's as though they had been
beads on a string.
The little wife arose, put away her
work and turned down the gas. She
felt drowsy-an unusual thing for her
but experience had taught her that
il she undressed and went to bed she
would lie awake, SO she threw herself
upon the lounge and drew a shawl over
her.
The lock struck 3. The front door
slammed and a mans step came up
the stairs. The room door opened,
and he entered, glanclng at the figure
on the lounge and chuckling softly.

leave her there and have the laugh on
her in the morning.
lie ulldreSScd. turned the gas lit
tie lower, got into bed and was soon
sound asleep.
The morning sun crcpt ia at the
window, but the little woman had
not stirred. The husband awoke,
glanced sleepily around, arose and
began to dress. In few minutes
he went over to the lounge and said:
Come, get up, Tiny. the first bell
rung long ago." But the little wife
did not move. ''Hcart failure" the
doctor called it. s'Heart break" said
Mrs. Shouter, the star boarder OF the
second story alcove room, while the
other women seemed awcd and whis-
pered among themselves
} He looked very pale and handsome
at the funeral and was pitied and ad-
mired by all, especially by the maiden
! ladies OF the third story back.
Two months later he married the
other woman. For, of course, there
was another woman. The men OF the
house had known it all the time.

any more. Even the forsaken sleep

A " 81, 10 rlr.. ye.ers.

Aw sra 10 First Voters.
The casting OF the first vote 10 en- in
eresting event In the life Of every citi-
len OF . republic. The exercise Of the
Elective franchise should always be ac-
:ompanied by thoughtful deliberation
md conscientious regard for the public
welfare, but there Is something peculiar
y interesting in the casting Of mans
arst vote. The event signalizes en-.
rance upon his majority and his formal
assumption OF the duties and response
btlities Of manhood. No matter how
nature young man may be In thought
and action, he does not feel himself
quite man until he Is twenty-on
vears OF age, nor quite citizen until
he has voted. These stages OF his ex-
etence passed, he feels that he has
lairly entered on mans career, with
Ill ths possibilities which that involves.
Again, the FIRST vote has a large infiu-
ence in shaping mans future political
status; not always q permanent infiu-
ence, but considerable and sometimes
lasting one. A man is apt to con-
tinue In politics for good many years
IS he beg MS. His first vote decides his
political and to some extent his personal
associations. and insensibly shapes his
course in life. Men may and sometimes
do abjure their first love in politics,
and change from one party to another,
