THE FARMERS DAUGHTER.


sing the Farmers Daughter, born
To make the farm life CHEEKY
Who, singing at her task at morn.
At even-tide not weary,
Has still q song, and still smile
For every living creature,
Aud lips that speak no word Of guile,
And face, and form, and feature
So full OF life and health, the farm
In her sees natures sweetest charm.
IN ways her own she lives to learn
Some useful lesson daily,
And from lifes round OF care can turn
TO question wisely, gayly,
All things that grow-the earth, the sky,
And fruits and flowers in season,
And always getting some reply
That satisfies her reason;
And satisfied she comes TO know
All useful things the earth can grow.
Dumb creatures own her constant care,
And learn her steps to follow
And broods Of chickens, far away.
In dusty beds to wallow.
Obey her call, and run and fly,
The mother hens contented
To gather with them a supply
or food, in haunts frequonted
She, watching with unwearied care,
~ DC tho 9OuhbCSb 6Cb NllCli oholC.
'The birds about her come and go,
In careless, wanton pleasure,
And sing the sweetest songs they know
To charm her hours OF leisure.
The story OF her life she knows,
Their love songs sweetly breaking
The charm Of sleep, when morning shows
That night her leave is taking;
And wide awake, she gTeets the day,
And turns from rest with JOY away.
In city streets, she little hears,
Hut sounds that startle, weary,
And city life to her appears
As restless all, and dreary;
And city ways seem lacking all
In hearty zest and feeling,
And city woes her heart appall,
And want to greed appealing,
Shows life to her so little known,
She gladly turns to seek her own.
Where others faint, she wearies not
In any round Of duty;
And home for her is one dear spot
That daily grows in beauty.
Beneath her hand all flowers bloom,
And fruits full ripe or growing
For these she finds abundant room,
And proud she is Of showing
These blessings OF the earth. sent dow
by God Himself our lives to crown.
Dear girl! the world has many ways
That end alike in sorrow,
And idle hands find tedious days
That change not on the morrow.
FOR you, the seasons come and go,
10 every sense appealing;
Eor you the buds to blossoms grow,
And these their fruits revealing,
In time VIII show how blest are they
Who natures laws and life obey.

THouoH there are many unforeseen
incidents that take place In politics as
wellas In business TO suddenly change
the whole course Of events, we may
reasonably expect that by the time the
REPUBLICAN reaches its readers this
evening President Harrison will be re.
nominated for tho high Office which he
has for nearly four years filled
with marked ability and dig nifty. The
light against him has been a desperate
one, and when marshaled In favor Of
such competitor as James G. Blaine,
without weakening tho Harrison
forces, we must accept 1t as a conclu.
sion that the people OF this country
admire and appreciate purity OF char
aeter, honesty OF purpose and fidelity
to principle. The Harrison men gain.
ed signal and almost unexpected
victory yesterday in the report of the
c ommittee on credentials, and 1t is not
likely that the victory gained will he

The Police Commissioners will make
q great mistake il they do not make
a thorough investigation into the
damaging charges made against Chief
OF Police Blackburn, OF accepting
hush-money from photographers.
True, these charges have not, as May.
or Wiley intimated, been made direct
q to the commissioners. but that should
make little difference in case of this
sort. The community will not stop
to ask about little trlIles in this mat
ter, 1t is one that concerns the people,
and while they arc willing to be guild
ed by q prompt and impartial investi.
CATION OF the matter, they will be- apt
to make up their own verdict, and that
verdict will be one of guilty unless
other evidence is adduced in favor Of
the Chief more than has been.
The usefulness of Mr.. Blackburn
with this uninvestigated charge hang
ing over him will be gone and he will
be subjected to the greatest annoy
aisces hereafter. The public will have
no confidence in him and the Police
Board, II it does not take hold of the
matter in real earnest will CONS in for
share Of that public condemnation.
The Chief himself has been rigid dis.
