The Dear Old Scrawl.

A newspaper man whose chirography is
not of the copper plate order, and whose
career as teacher Of penmanship closed
many years ago, has found two people who
appreciate his style just as it is. He had
occasion to send his children, aged 8 and
8, to the country, and in due time sent
their high chairs after them. By some good
providence the railroad officials were able
to read the shipping tags, and the furni-
ture reached its destination in safety. The
homesick little ones were SO delighted at
receiving some token that their natural
protector was in the land of the living
that they would not allow the tags to be
taken off, and whenever any one called
they would pull out the chairs and proudly
hold up the bescrawled bits of paper ex-
claiming, "See, that's some of my fathers
g!"-Boston Herald.

Woman's Need Of Physical Culture.

Concisely, nay theses are these: First,
women are physiologically capable Of at
tanning the same standard of health and
ordinary power of resistance as men. Sec
ond, to meet the present demands upon
their strength in the struggle for exist
ence women must aim at the cultivation
Of all their powers. Third, without this
preparation the women of the future will
not secure true social equality. The pres
ent superiority of staying power in men
gives them the advantage in the greater
number of professions and trades. Fourth,
the reputed ARRESTED development" Of
women is the outcome Of custom and not
law of nature. Thus men and women
start with an equality of chances, but the
chances are lessened for women by diff
ference Godfrey Mortimer, in Human
itdridn.

Mrs. Stoves Childhood.

One of Harriet Beecher Stoves early
teachers was John Pierce Brace, who ex-
celled in teaching composition. In "Sto-
ries About Favorite Authors" it is told of
him that he gave his pupils thorough train
ing in this art, and that when Harriet was
ii years old she was appointed one of the
writers for the annual school exhibition.
The subject was difficult one, but she
wrote her composition. The compositions
were read aloud. Among the gentlemen
on the platform was her father, Rev Ly-
man Beecher.
"When mine was read" says Mrs.
Stowe, Il noticed that father frightened
and looked interested, and at the close
heard him say:
who wrote that composition"
"'Your daughter, sir, was the answer
"It was the proudest moment of my
life, 4" adds Mrs. Stowe.
When she was 7 years old, her older sis
ter, Catherine, wrote: "She is very good
girl She has been to school all this sum.
mer, and has learned to read fiuently. She
has committed to memory ~ hymns and
two long chapters in the Bible. She has a
very retentive memory and will make a
good scholar"

MISCELLANY.
LIES Battle.

Alas I'm growing old-my hair, once thick and
brown
Is now quite white and silky and sparse about the
CROWN
year, that once seemed endless, now passes like
dream,
Yet my boat still rides the pillows, as it floats along
the stream.
My eye once like the eagles, is now much dimmed
by age,
And art alone enables to read the printed page.
Yet st 1t rests with quickened glance upon each
lovely scene,
AS years roll by with silent pace and changes
between.
Life is full Of gladness II we but make 1t so;
There's not a wave of sorrow but has an undertow;
stout heart and simple faith give victory DER the
grave,
And God awaits all patiently, all powerful to save
IT'S not cross to live, nor is It hard to die,
If we but view the future with steadfast, fearless
eye.
Looking ever on the bright side where falls the
suns warm beam,
Our boats will ride the pillows they glide along
the stream. = Exchange

A Lord Sold Into Slavery.

Charles Reade found the hero Of his
novel, THE Wandering Heir" in the per
son of Lord Altman of Ireland, who was
sold as redemptioner" at Philadelphia
in 1928, and who served for 12 years in eff
feet as slave to one or more masters in
Lancaster county, Pa. The young noble
man was recognized by two Irishmen who
came by accident to the house where he
lived, and Admiral Vernon afterward took
him back to Ireland. Reade laid the scene
of Lord Altham's servitude in northern
Delaware. but it is pretty well established
that this was an error Philadelphia Press.

Serenity Of Temper.

One sign of mental health is serenity of
temper and self control that enables us
to bear with equanimity and unruffled
temper the petty trials and jars of life es-
pecially those arising from contact with
scolding, irascible, irritating folk. 1t is
well to remember at such times that these
unfortunates are their own worst enemies,
and a cultivation of the art of not hearing
will help us very much. 1t is very use
full art all through life and well worth
some trouble to acquire.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
The Children.

Only to keep them so,
Soft, warm and young;
The wee, feeble fingers,
The babbling tongue.
Tears that we kiss away,
Smiles that we win
Careless of knowledge,
As guiltless of sin.
Only to keep them SO,
Frank, true and pure;
OF our full wisdom
SO lovingly sure.
Our frown all they shrink from,
Our fiat their law;
Our store, whence all gladness
They fearlessly draw.
Only to keep them so,
Sweet hands that cling,
Sweet lips that laugh for us,
Sweet tones that ring;
Curls that we train to wave,
Feet that we guide,
Each fresh step wonder,
Each new word pride.
only to keep them sol
Women and men
Are the the TIMES that circled us
Lovingly then.
Gentle and good to us,
Patient and strong,
Guarding our weaknesses,
Bearing us long.
Tenderly hooking us,
Old thoughts and ways,
That scarcely keep measure
With life's rapid days.
Good to us-waiting,

A CHAPTER OF. THE REPUBLICAN Rec
ORD EROM THE CAPITAL.

The Capital squeals about some
chapters of this record already pub
lished because they are too ancient.
Here is a brief one of modern times
from the Capital itself to be found in
the issue of April 27, 1892 We pre-
sumo the Capital will not question
the authority Of it. 1t relates to
Governor Humphreys candidacy for
congress in the Third district, and is
as follows:
For six months he has had a plsyed-out
politician, a lazy, political loafer, acting 40
his personal roustabout. This barnsols is
borne on the rolls Of the adjutant general as
LsWis Handbook, at 500 per month, and has
not in the past six months done an hours
work in the sdjutant generals office. He
has been kept travelling about looking after
the governors political fences, for which
services the governor has drawn orders on
the contingent fund which is under his per-
sonAl control, for $3.50. These orders given
by the governor may be examined by any
taxpayer in the state auditors office, as
they are among the public records open 10
all citizens. From December 16 to IApril
25, 1892. Mr.. Hanback, drew on Ave vouoh-
ers Of the governor, $3.50 for special ser.
vices extra services, etc., TO each Of which
vouchers was attached the following Oerti-
fOate signed by Governor Humphrey:
l do certify that the within was con-
tEacted by me for the state under authority
Of law, and that the amount therein claimed
is correct according to Such contract aud 10
unpaid.
The advocate., 1894-09-19

When Governor Humphrey signed those
vouchers he knew Lsw Hanback, was re-
CeiVing 500 per month from tho state,
not one dollar Of which he earned. He
knew also chat che private political work
Lew Hanback, was doing and is doing TO- day
for him on the $50 he drew on Monday,
April %, was not an expenditure Of the
money of the state warranted by eKigenOies
Of the public service or contemplated by
law.

preCiate no campaign except it is
based upon party records.

The law authorizing the issue Of
the legal tender notes to which this
Journal correspondent refers was not
passed in 1868 as the editor of the
Journal indicates in his answer. It
was approved February rs, 1852; and
if the editor OF the Journal will con-
suit the Congressional Globe, Thirty
seventh congress, second session,
page 800, he will find that there is O
record tbat M. Stevens opposed the
exception clause, and that this rec
ord is one that, in itself, ought to
everlastingly damn the republican
party. 1t would seem that Che ed
itor of the Journal ought TO know
also that the treasury notes in ques-
tion were not a legal tender for
all debts excepting imports. They
were not a legal tender for in
