delegates will be seated. In the grand
total, therefore, the contests involves about
sixty delegates, and it will be seen that in
a close contest between the two candidates,
it would be entirely in the power OF this
committee, if it's report were adopted, to
exert a controlling Influence on the contest.
Both sides are watching the committee
very closely, aud il is likely that consider
able time will be consumed in its delloera-
tions. The Michigan delegation have again
had long session over the prospec9- OF
General Alger. The chairman OF the dele
CATION reports that IL is now estimated that
Alger will have 81 votes and it has been
decided TO adhere TO him while there is
prospects of advancing his candidacy. The
second choice of almost all the members OF
the delegation is Governor Mckinley.

For literary buzzer, we think o. O.. W. has peculiar way of starting one subject and suddenly jumping to anoth- CT, like bee darting from honeysuckle to rose, or vice versa. In your issue of August l2, he justifies an ancient Grecian law against drunkenness and almost per- suaded me to become a prohibitionist. That whiskey is responsible for multi tude of vice and crime there can be no denying, but we sincerely believe that there are certain secret habits among the young that break down more brain and constitution than whiskey. The rest of the article, (if it can be called article when entirely new subject,) seems an apology for his fine argument in support of s'capital.'' We were born poor and 'have held our own'' thank Heaven! We thank our Creator that he has limited the capacity of the human stomach; that we ordinary creatures can eat as much good victuals and drink as much cocoa and not have dyspepsia, gout or those awful tir- ed feelings that the rich sadly experi- ence.
 As to ''store clothes,' we never feel ashamed to wear them right in the same pew with ''bloated aristocrat." It is true as the gospel, what you say, friend o. O. w., 1.-The misery of life, for rich or poor, is ignorance, incompetence, pride, envy and selfishness."-[G [G. W. B.

A community of Swedes, 16 years ago, started a furniture factory at Rockford, III. The capital of the original plant was 5000 and, of the 25 Swedes in the scheme every one was worker and every one stockholder. The business has so in- creased that there are now 12 factories, including furniture, piano and knitting, employing 1900 men, with profit last ear of $15O,000. The community now numbers 13,000 people, maintaining eight churches of six denominations. The vot- CTS are unit for prohibition, and nine tenths of the men are total abstainers. The granting by the city council of three licenses for saloons on their main street is an annoyance and grief to these sturdy Norsemen. They also show their inclin- ation to assimilate American ways by owning their own homes as largely as possible and by learning and using the language.

The remedy of labor troubles is to be found in fair combination and honest CO., operation on the part of the men and in just and equitable temper on the part of employers. If you once employ legisla- tion in this matter, where are you to stop? Will you give an eight-hours' day to the clergyman, who oftentimes has to work Cat least, speak for myself) F and 15 hours? Will you forbid the doctor to visit his patients and to give medical ad- vice for more than eight hours9 Will you tell the hard working literary man, who works till the hours glow, that when he has worked his eight hours he must cease? If you legislate for one, why not for all? Legislation, moreover, implies a certain amount of equality. But as a matter of fact, there is nothing more un- equal than mems capabilities for labor. What positively wearies one man to work at for six hours, another can stand cheer fully and .unweariedly for l2 hours. To bring legislation down to suit the weak
 would be to do an eternal injury to the strong; to raise it up to the standard o1 the strong would be to incapacitate and hence to pauperize the Weak.-[ Rev J W. Hooking.

The birds have had their happiest seas on and now we hear only a few singing their joyful songs and even those have a tone of sadness, as if they were about to say ''good by.' The swallows, the mar tins. the chimney birds (those sweepers as black as the soot) are thinking "When the swallows homeward fly" And, in the swamps, the caloppodons, pegodias, sweet honey suckles all have bloomed and ''shed their sweetness on the desert air." The sumacs, limb now and then on the soft maple are turning crimson, seeming to say, ''Ghe Fall, the Fall.' With good crops secured after swel5er- ing Summer, let us welcome this yearly change in Nature and hope that the birds and flowers and fruits will again come in plenty.

Finding a Pearl.

When William Lloyd Garrison began, at the age of 20, to publish the Free Press, he had, of course, the usual amount of bad indifferent poetry to read. All the local poetasters, who thought they could make verse and would have been far more worthily employed in making shoes, deluged him with their halting contributions. But one day, says the Youths Companion, the papers drag net brought up pearl. MT Garrison tells the story:
 Going up stairs to my office, observ- ed letter lying near the door; l opened it, and found it contained an original piece of poetry for the Free Press.
 The ink was very pale, the handwrit- ing very small, and, having at that time horror of newspaper original poetry, my first impulse was to tear it without reading it, since the chances of rejection were as ninety-nine to one. Summoning up my resolution, however, perused it, and was so gratified with it that gave ii place in my journal.
 AS l was anxious to find out the writer my post-rider one day divulged the secret saying that he had brought the letter and that it was written by Quaker lad nam ed Whittier, who was daily at work witf hammer and lapstone on the shoemaker's bench at East Haverhill.
 lost no time in driving to see the youthf ul bard, who came into the room with shrinking diffidence, blushing like 8 maiden, and almost unable to speak. gave him some words of encouragement but addressed myself particularly to his parents, urging them to grant him every possible facility for the development 0. his remarkable genius.
