They drive home the COWS from the pasture,
Up through the long ahadS lane.
Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat field
ALI yellow with ripaning grain.
They find, in the thick waving grasses,
Where the scarlet-dipped strawberry grows;
They gather the earliest snowdrops,
And the first crimson buds of the rose.
They toss the hay Id the meadow.
They gather the elder-booms white,
They fiGd where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft-tinted autumn light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy wines;
They know where the fruit is thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds,
And build tiny castles OF sand;
They pick up he beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land.
They wave from the tall, rocking tree tops,
Where the orioles hammock-nest swings,
And at nighttime are folded in slumber
By song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great;
And from these wn-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state.
The pen of the author and statesman,
The noble and wise of the land;
The sword aud the chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand
From the Philadelphia Times.

CHRISTOPHEIt COLUMBUS.

These are glorious days for Christopher
Columbus. He had a good deal of faith
and foresight, but little did he think,
while begging bread aud water for his
child at the convent gate in Andalusia, or
while dying in poverty at Valladolid, that
great nation as he will be during the
next two weeks. 1t is to be hoped that
his shade is where it can see what is going
on. If it is it may feel some consolation for
the base ingratitude of Ferdinand and the
lack of honor and recognition and reward
suffered by the great explorer in his life
time. 1t will see millions of the people of
this country engaged in celebrating his en-
thusiasm, his persistency and his achieve
ments. 1t will see monuments dedicated
to him, including one on Wooster square,
New Haven, Connecticut, to which we call
it's special attention. 1t will hear a great
many bands, much singing by we'll trained
school. children, and more o1atory than
it took to persuade his scared and dis
couraged sailors to sail on. And if it can
laugh it may give quiet chuckle or two
over the spectacle of thousands of Irishmen
marching, eating, drinking and speechify
ing in honor of an italian man.
If the shade of the old hero can take
notice of these things it will also perhaps
take notice of some other things. 1t will
see great country given over to the wor
ship of the almighty dollar and to all
absorbing greed for the same. 1t will see
great country whose laws are made by
petty politicians rather than by statesmen,
and whose public Offices are largely filled
by the highest bidders for them. 1t will
see the ingratitu6e of king equalled by
the ipgratitude of a republic. 1t will see
faith departing and feverish pleasure seek
ing taking the place of sober industry and
sober thought. 1t will see an aristccracy
of wealth trying to establish itself, and it
will see the aristocracy of brains subser-
Went and timid. 1t will see "the
masses" arraying themselves against "the
classes" 1t will see government of the
people by the people in dubious situation.
And it will see the trusts carrying on a
system of plunder exceeding in daring and
efficacy anything attempted by the noble
bandits whom Columbus may have heard
about while in the flesh.
But we hope the gallant soul won't be
disturbed by such things as these, even if
it does notice them. 1t fought a good
| fight while in the world and kept the faith.
1t is entitled to peace now and to whatever
merited honor.

BUSINESS.

Business men are especially interested
in the result of the present political cam
paign. They don't want their affairs dis
turbed after November s. They have ad-
justed them to the existing tariff legisla-
ton, and are doing as well as could be ex-
pected, and in many cases much better.
They are willing to let well enough alone,
and they want to be let alone for little
while at least. If the Republicans win
they will be let alone. If the Democrats
win they will have trouble enough. The
Chicago platform is an open blow at every
branch of business interests. 1t proclaims
that all prices shall be unsettled again,
through a revision of the tariff, and that
the Bank Note Reporter shall again be-
come necessity in every household, to
show the days discount on current money.
If the Democrats succeed in the coming
election the situation when Mr.. Cleveland
takes his seat will be easily understood by
everybody. He will be pledged, and con-
gress will be pledged, to undertake an
immediate and radical change in all tariff
rates. At once there must follow business
uncertainty. This will last until the ques-
tion of new tariff law is settled, and, be
yond that, until the prices of the business
world have again rearranged themselves
under the new schedules. This is a very
practical matter The dullest mind can
understand it. There are many intricacies
about the tariff which even most intelli-
gent men find difficulty in comprehending.
But the fact that attempted tariff legisls-
ton by congress disturbs all values and
deranges every branch of business is known
to everybody.
Business is stable and generally satisfac-
tory now. 1t would shake the day after
election if the Democrats should win. 1t
therefore behooves all business men and
those who want to see them prosper to
make sure that the Democrats shall not
have a chance to make trouble.

An important law suit establishing
precedent in insurance cases has been de-
cided in the Superior court of New York.
Mary Spencer: widow of John L. Spencer,
won a verdict against the Citizens Mutual
Life Insurance company. That corporation
issued policy for $4,000 on the life of
Spencer. He lapsed in his payments and
later made application for reinstatement.
The company accepted his renewal, butre-
quired him to sign a statement that his
health had been excellent ever since the
issue of the policy. Some months later
he died from the effects of worriment over
financial difficulties in which he became
involved. and when the widow demanded
settlement of the insurance, the company
refused to pay, claiming that Spencer
had given them o false warrantee in re-
gard to health. Suit was brought, and
Charles A. Reed, counsel for the plaintiff,
succeeded in establishing the point that
the company had no right to require any
such statement from the insured man when
they accepted his premium as policy re-
newal. He contended and the court ruled,
that the company's only privilege was to
accept or reject his application for re-
instatement, as they saw fit, without eI-
acting any health warrants from him. He
further proved that Spencer was in good
health at the time he signed the statement.
Judgment was given to the widow for the
full amount of the claim, principal and in
terest, amounting to s3,4lS, with costs
against the company.
