CLEANING A CHIMNEY.

Turning the glass little, behold
A Deutcher man, his chimney towering
high,
Befouled with SCOT; to clean it must
needs try;
Armed with pole, in feet, just twenty
long,
Brought from grove of pines, flexible
and strong,
He mounts the roof with careful, SOCK
less feet,
Observed with curious eyes far down the
street,
And trembling, raises by the chimney
tall,
With one hand on the brick thus to avoid
fall,
While in the other lowered aloft the
pole,
Which he pushed down that blackened
hole.
'Vas ever fellow half so brave as me?
l cleans dot chimney and saves dollars
dIee"
Thus jubilant, forgetful of the cooks hot
fire,
He clings to pole, and climbs little
higher.
Who but Ambition, miserable cheat,
Could have induced him to perform that
feat?
Up ON the very top, tip top, he stands,
Grasping the pine tree with his two
broad hands.
He gives mighty push, a coup de grace,
And SCOT, fire, and smoke with lightning
pace,
Come rushing upward in his round, red
face.
Scorched, black and gasping for breath
of air,
The pole falls from his hands, and there,
Turning and writhing in the upper air,
He tarried but an instant-sad to tell
And humping, rolling, from the chimney
fell.
Ivy Hans" his wife called, "oh, mine
dear,
Wy COON so fast You broke your back,
fear"
MEN wife, but | vas mad as dunder,
To thinks vas fool enough to make dot
blunder.
| got more SCOT and schmoke midin dis
stomach vast,
Dan for lifedime will me last.
Dot vas worse don any political joke;
My bones be bruised, Won almost broke.
But vat makes me more mad as some be-
fore,
Lot had spy glass, looking for me sure,
And den de HERALD, it viii say,
How Hans, his chimney cleaned, one
bad, wet day"

Long may it wave, and may every
true Republican rally TO its support,
as we'll as the Democrats who are la
menting this change that is here, SO
wildly portrayed in the New York
Mail and Express,
Lets have a change" the restless Mug
wump cried;
"Lets have change" the Democrat re-
piled.
The Populist the chorus swelled,
The silyerite its echo yelled,
The rebel crowd joined in the throng,
The anarchist the notes prolong,
And all the crazy, screaming rout,
Unite to bring the change about.
"Why seek change ?" the patriot states
man cried;
"Why seek change, when every wants
supplied?
When all that spin and all that sew,
When those who build and those who
NOV,
When all that sell and all that buy,
And who to foreign markets HE;
When all our toilers, all our tradesmen
Good pay or profit fair, in kind for kind ?"
Now came and swayed the mighty strug-
gle on;
The champions false, their doughtiest ar
NOR don,
The Mugwumps shout, Reform Re-
form"
The Democrats our Tariff storm.
The silverites free coinage brawl,
The Populists their folly bawl,
And all the Heterogeneous rabble rout,
Drown sense and statecraft in their mad
dening shout.
The patriot statesmen vain their protest
made,
'Gainst bart'ring growing grain for los
ing trade.
If change must come, twill only be for
worse,
Like changing life for bier and gloomy
hearse;
The mills will stop and trade will pail,
Deep misery then will come to all;
The rich, in fear, their wealth will hide,
The poor, for work, will wander wide
And all the ills that want and idleness
can cause,
viii come apace, and come without
pause.
The change is wrought The mighty
strides we made,
In thirty years of growing wealth and
trade,
The follies of day arrest,
AS all our sorrows now attest;
The mills have stopped the busy hum
OF thousand spindles now is dumb;
The miner now his pick lays by;
The skilled no more his craft can ply;
Grim want in taunting voice doth now
declare,
eye would be dupes and Victims" and
we are.

EDITOR HERALD: What has be-
come of the organization. known as
the Farmers Institute Society OF Berk-
eley County? Is it defunct, or like
the United States Senate spending its
time in discussing silver with all
courtesy" shown to its various mem
bers?
Now, gentlemen, in all seriousness,
why cannot we have an institute this
fall? Are there not fifty progressive
farmers in Berkeley County who are
interested enough in their calling to
try and learn something more about
it?
Our neighboring State, Ohio. has
arranged to hold I48 institutes the
coming winter, and 81 other places
have applied but could not be accom-
modated.

agriculture, and we will continue to

MORGAN COUNTY.
An Epidemic of Silence About
Schools.
from our regular correspondent

From our regular correspondent
In seeking entrance into the repor-
torial galaxy ofthe HERALD. we have
neither recommendation nor apollo
gies to offer. The fact that the best
Republican newspaper in West Vir-
ginia has no other representative in
this county is our only excuse.
Morgan County, as your readers are
probably aware, is on the right side of
the fence politically. Though small
in size and small very small in nat
ural wealth, and resources, she
comes to the front on election days
with large crop Of good, true, patri-
otto ballots.
Just now our Democratic friends are
suffering from very peculiar cpl
demic of silence Those who have
always had the tongue-wagging dis
ease, during times of prosperity and
Republican rule, find themselves ut
terly unable to raise hurrah or utter
word of Dragging about these de-
lightful days of Democratic doing.
And us Republicans have to work
too hard to get hold of the almighty
dollar to talk politics now.
But when we take up our political
cudgels we don't need to discuss Ma
tional issues. The Democratic party
in its attitude on local questions has
enough to answer for
For instance, the two districts in
which the Democrats exercise control
have only a four months term OF
school, while those districts in which
Republican sentiments preponderate
have heightened the term to from five
to eight months. Not only has
longer term been voted down everytime
in these two Democratic districts, but
larger proportion Of the Democrats
have voted against levy" time and
again, with persistency and obstina-
cy which can only be compared to the
con duct Of their protypes in the Uni
teo States Senate.
The recent fire in Berkeley Springs
has given the water works great inn
petus. The lesson the people learned
was very costly, but much needed
Country people need to think over
this subject more. Only the other
day a farmer named Yost came near
losing his house on account of a de-
fective fue. He is fixing his flue
now and will have his house insured.
His neighbors will probably see the
point and do likewise when they hear
his story. No. ;.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

When we purchased the HERALD
we bought all Notwithstanding
job work, and subscriptions. We had
hoped to have had these settled some
time since, and have urged all inter
ested to settle, if for no other reason
than to avoid future trouble, through
any error that may have arisen by
reason of the transfer of the accounts
from Mr.. Reilly to us.
Back subscriptions were bought at
the rate of S2.oo per year. We have
been settling these accounts with all
who continue, at the rate of 81 so, the
regular cash-in advance rate. If they
are not settled soon, we shall be obliged
to employ a collector, when $500 a
year will be charged. This can be
avoided by prompt settlements.
