This effort was not remarkably meritori-
Gus. but il was not bad for 5-year-old col
ored boy. He was a great admirer Of Long
fellow, and every spare cent he had was in
vested In books. At IL Corrothers went TO
Chicago and entered the Northwestern uni.
vrr~ity. Although he wasa poet and knew
IL, he was not above backing boots and do
Ing ianitor work so long as II would assist
him In getting the education he coveted.
His boyish battle1 In South Haven had
made him fond Of sparring. and he took ies-
sons and soon became n very scientific box
er. Then Frances Il. Willard became inter-
ested In him, but she did not approve OF
boxing and asked him to drop 1t. He re-
piled that boxing was as much Of q gift ~
writing poetry. and that while he had no
idea Of ever going into the ring he did not
feel that he would be happy II he took of
the gloves forever.
Despite this difference Miss Willard re.
mained his friend, and when he became i'll

the point OF leaving college she came to the
rescue. paid his educational bills and intro
duced him at her receptions. He then at

there wrote Ethiopia" which he intended
TO be the national song OF the colored race.
On his return to Chicago he received a re-
ception ut the Woman's temple. and he Ia
now one OF the most prominent colored cit
izens OF the Worlds fair city. Two years
ago he became engaged TO Miss Clemens,
who was then IL years OF age, and she has
often inspired his muse. He IL a. fond Of
boxing ~ ever and is evidently confident
that he knows his wife's character, for be
has taught her the manly art until shs
boxes very well for a woman. The follow.
ing poem, which In said to have been In
spired by Miss Clemens, shows what Cor
rothers can do when he has setto with his
muse:
face OF dreams and roses
Pleads tenderly with me-
A sweet face that reposes
In death 10 silently
Tlsro' the deep gloom she seeks my room
From out the sunset SEA.
A face ~ dreams and roses,
Dainty woodlawns be.
Where every stream that flows is
fairy rhaspody
| Tinkling o'er rocks where sylvan nocks
Feed softly, tenderly.
| face of dreams and roses.
| Calm an evening star,
Which. when the long day closes.
Shines holy. faint and far
Der lonely leas and moonlit seas
And coves where the fairies are.

REPUBLICAN, PATRIOTISM.

The financial affairs of the country
are in bad shape. The government
has about $SOO,OO0,000 of different
kinds afioat, which are supposed to be
redeemableei in gold. The credit of
these dollars is bolstered up by the le-
gal reserve of 100000, 900 in gold, re-
quired to be kept in the United States
Treasury. Gold is being shipped to
Europe daily in enormous quantities
and therefore daily raids are made up
on the government reserve to supply
the necessary quantity of the precious
metal. Whenever the reserve dwindles
to the danger limit the Secretary of the
Treasury has to issue bonds to make
good the deficiency. These bonds are
paid for largely in gold certificates and
other like securities which are issued
again only to call out the yellow coin
again and SO the process continues.
Secretary Carlisle anu the leading
Democrats in Congress are trying to
formulate some plan for the relief of
the country but owing to the slender
Democratic majority in the Senate and
the antagonism of the Populists and
free silver men it is impossible to ac-
complish anything without some Re-
publican votes. But these votes are
not readily obtained. Unmindful cf
the fact that we have one common
country and one common interest in
the welfare of the whole people, the
Republicans fold their arms and say
"You are in this hole; get out of it the
best way you can. We prefer to wait
until we come into full power and then
we will show you what we can do"
These statesmen of serene virtue
seem to forget the fact that so far as
the hard times are due to faults in our
financial system the Republican party
is solely responsible for it. Our whole
currency system was built up during
the thirty years of Republican, suprem-
acy since the war and but one single
law,-the repeal of the Sherman act,
was passed by Democratic Con-
gress, and that was voted for by Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike without
party division.
Why can not the gentlemen let their
love of their country rise superior to
love of their party and join hands
with their Democratic brethren in a
measure of relief for their suffering
constituents No financial scheme
can be devised that will not effect
Democrats and Republicans alike, and
in so hampering the prosperity of
those whom they profess to represent
they are assuming responsibility for
which their constituents will hold
them to grave account. The straight
forward citizens of the country will
hardly regard such course as patrio
tism but it is certainly representative
Republicanism.

Good King Wenceslaus looked out
On the Feast of Stephen;
When the snow lay round about,
Deep, and crisp, and even;
Brightly shone the moon that night,
Though the frost was cruel,
When poor man came in sight,
CATERING winter fuel.
"Hither, page, and stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwellingi"
"Sire, he lives good league hence,
Underneath the mountain;
Right against the forest fence,
by Saint Agnes fountain"
Bring me flesh and bring me wine,
Bring me pine logs hither;
Thou and l will see him dine,
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch, forth they went,
Forth they went together:
Through the rude winds wild lament,
And the bitter weather.
''Sire, the night is darker now,
And the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart know not how:
can go no longer"
MARK my footsteps, good, my page,
Tread thou in them boldly:
Thou shalt find the winters rage,
Freeze thy blood less coldly."
In his masters steps he trod,
Where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod,
Which the Saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
Wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor,
Shall yourselves find blessing.
