didn' hev a twO-cent piece an a nickel

Then we all went home an sot down
an waited for the railroad to come, an
we hain't done nothin' sence. More
grass grows OIL our streets than grows

two weeds grow where n grew afore.
an, if any on US worked enough to
make us hungry, we should all starye
to death.
We've all sot still for the last twenty
years an waited for that railroad, an
the birds of heaven has made their
nests i'll our hair, an the grass hez
grown out of our ears. If our houses
should fall down over our heads we
would all move into our barns, use the
ruins to light our cook stoves, an thank

Oh, let us all pray in this season Of Lent
That our wicked and frivolous neighbors re-
pent.
When we see how our fellows are sunken in

The depravity deep of our ~neighbors and kin,
We rejoice at The season, SO holy and good.
That falls like a balsam on our neighbor-

We know that the season is blessed and meet
For that wick ed family over the street,
1t comes like a plumber to make his repairs
On that family living up stairs.

Twas never established for you and for me,
1t falls like a pouItice upon an old sore
On that depraved fellow who lives the next

Let men who much of progress vaunt,
Recall this legend of Vermont.
Once on a time. the legends run,
A man was taken by his son.,
When he was palsied and infirm,
And all beyond life's usual term,
And at the age Of seventy-nine.
Thrown i'll the hog-pen with the swine.
The years passed on; this son grew old.
Bis limbs were bent. his blood was cold.
Then his son took the old man hoar,
As he his father. years before.
And at the age of seventy nine,
Threw him in turn among the swine.
Ntonly this. but IN lds him stlv
And eat swine's food from day to day.

II did not treat my father so,
'Tis true threw him in the pen,
But gave him food designed for men.

L did not treat my father So" .
"Ah, father" his tall son replied,
AS he looked DER the pig pens side,
The world is moving fast and far.
This is an age of progress, pal"

Wheeling.
WHEELING, w. Vs., Oct. 24.-Ths re-
cepsion to Hon. W. L. Wilson and Hon.
Bourke Cochran in this city tonight
probably surpassed anything heretofore
witnessed in Wheeling, considering the
affair was in the nature of an impromptu
meeting, only having been advertised
three days in advance. Long before the
train arrived containing the party the
streets were crowded with people. At
the conclusion OF the street parade the
streets in the neighborhood of the two
operahouses where Wilson and Cochran
were to speak were impassabe.
Mr. Wilson made speech at the
Grand opera house to an audience
crowded to suffocation. The streets in
front Of the building were packed for
long time after the speaking commenced.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson's adj
dress Judge Cowen OF Baltimore spoke.
During the speaking at the Grand,
Burke Cochran was speaking to an i'm
msnse crowd at the opera house one
block away. The building was filled to
Its utmost capacity, fully 1000 people
standing or sitting within its walls.
Three times as many people remained
on the outside of the building clamoring
for admittance.
At the conclusion of Cockrsn's speech
Mr.. Wilson was introduced and ad-
dressed the audience for about 10 min
utes. Mr.. Wilson was very tired and
made his address very short.
The entire party will leave for Pars
kersburg tomorrow morning on special

straight and has been carefully meas-
Ered, but there Is a steep fall for an

it will simply educate the people. The
other fact 10 that the senate bill ie a
law. Whatever good there may be in
it may be shown by trial. Meantime.
the matter being in large measure
settled, our duty 10 to seek way out OF
these present misfortunes."
Mr.. Reed went on to say that tariff
bill ought to contain such provisions "a
will preserve the American market to
American people. The idea OF infsnt
induesries was sound and good enough
for the purpose, and that was the main
point in protection. To-day the sound
Sasjs for protection was the best method
to distribute to the people the great
gifts God had stored up for them in this
great country.
Speaking Of the late conflicts between
laborers and employers. Mr.. Reed said
the past two years have taught one
thing-that unless there are profits to
divide it is profitless to tight for divi-
sion.
Mr.. Reed then commented on the
promiee-making character OF the Demo-
crats, and how anxious they were to
get back to promises and how they
hated to disonss fnlfillmsnts. He con-
tinued:
Il am told you have not only the
Democracy to contend with rs to these
promises, but also what are called Popu-
liats. In congress we did not notice any
difference. In all essentials these peo-
ple banded themaelves behind the
Democratic leaders in both house
and senate. Both these psr-
ties are loud in promises. We
have had promises enough. What we
want is fulfillment. The Republican
party does not promise much, bat it
comes pretty near keeping ite promises.
Other states have tried this Populism.
and il yeu wish to be thought OF the
next two years as Kansas and Colorado
have been thought OF, it would appear
to be astrsnge spectacle, especially whan
both Of these states will have better sense
this year."
