The Old Home.

A large proportion of our girls who
read this will some day love and marry.
1t is well; it is right; but do not be in
a hurry to be grown up and away from
home. Life will never give you any
thing sweeter, better, happier, than
you have now. No love purer than
your mother S; no care more kindly
than your fathers; no companionship
like that of your brothers and sisters.
Even to the man who loves you, you
will not be the little Lily who was a
baby once; who learned to walk and
prattle, and was prettier than any
other baby ever was; not the little
girl who was SO wonderful a genius
when she played her first tune on the
piano or worked her first book mark.
He who falls in love with you NAV
have known twenty other pretty girls,
and have been, perhaps, at some time,
in love with half of them. In some
things you will fall short of some one
he has known. Your eyes will not be
SO fine as those of Miss Lavinia, and
you will never make cake as his moth
er does. Here at the old home you
have been perfection; even if prudence
kept your parents from saying so.
they cannot believe any one quite SO
nice as ''our Lily" Then finger a
little here, where some one else should
ers the burdens and shields you from
life's worry; where the innocent DAYS
of your childhood have been passed
and your first and best home.

POLITICS IN THE STREET.

The Currency System and the Thirty
Years Contest to Make 1t.
From the Circular of Dick Brothers s. Co
The rank and file of the Democratic
party have been smoked out. o.
course, in that party there has always
been an element which was better
than the party itself, but this latter
class can deceive no one in its anus
ing attempt to gull the American
people into believing that the Demo-
cratic party is the sponsor for stable
currency. These are facts. The Re-
publican party created the present
currency system. This was about
1866. 1t had then and ever since the
open opposition of the Democratic
party, and at times few third class
Republican politicians. In that year
there was a national debt of three
thousand millions, and a municipal
debt of twice as much incurred by
war. The first great question in
trusted to the Republican party was
as to the payment of this debt. The
Democratic party favored reputation.
The Republican party fought the
campaign of 1868 on the issue of max
ing the payment of the debt sacred
obligation of the United States.
General Grant was elected on that is
sue and after his Inauguration Re-
publican Congress passed a joint res
olution, making the payment of the
debt sacred duty of the people of
the United States. The Democratic
party then demanded an unlimited
issue of irredeeinable greenbacks, say
ing, THAT if the debt was to be
paid it should be paid in gfeenbacks, !"
and augued that as the bonds were
thus paid for the holders had no
right to demand gold of the Govern
ment. This argument became pop
ular one, but the Republican party
with magnificent courage took the
opposite view, fought greenbackism
and this semi-repudiation for ten
years, during which time in the in
terest of sound money that party
took the further step of fixing a date
for the resumption of specie pay
ments, which were resumed January
1, 1879. From then until now there
has never been a dollar of United
States money that was not converti-
bic into gold, or which would not
pay gold dollars worth of debts.
Here comes the ludicrous feature.
After opposing every sound money
proposition between 1866 and 1896
the Democratic party suddenly ap-
peared, in the person of Grover Cleve-
land, as the representative of stable
finance. Mr.. Cleveland notion was
purely political one. His object
was to throw the odium of the disas-
trous commercial results brought
about by the agitation of the tariff in
IS92-94 on the currency laws, which
had been made by the Republican
party.
We fail to remember a time when
the Democratic party at heart was
not in favor of reputation, green
backism or free silver, and today it
shows itself in its true light. The
Republican party is as enphatically
in favor today as it ever was Of main
tanning and preserving the integrity of
every dollar of currency on the basis
of gold.

TOOK JOHNNIE TO THE SHOW,

Poor little Johnnie longed to go
And see the show;
Like any simple trusting lad
Who viewed the walls in pictures clad,
OF men who lived on horses backs,
Or climbed each others heads in stacks
Or drivelled dressed in stripes and spots
Or tied themselves in double knots,
Or metamorphosed into wheels.
Or swung each other by the heels,
Or, placid, led umblemished lives
Amid a fusillade of knives,
Or punched the lion while he roared,
Or with their heads his mouth explored;
You would yourself have longed to go
And see the show
Then Johnnie's father aid, although
loath despise and hate the show,
feel that little John should go.
The curious animals to see;
'Twould never do so little grown
For him to wander round alone;
My little boy shall go with me-"
And Johnnie's mother-prudent dame
And Johnnie's auntie felt the same;
And Johnnie's Uncle Lemuel,
His second cousin, Samuel,
His older sister, Mary,
ana susan Ann and Sarah,
his brother and his brother in law,
His fathers cautious mother-in-law,
And others went along with him
To see that naught was wrong with him,
Twas not sin to take you know,
Poor Johnnie to the show
AS any one might be afraid,
Twas very hard, with all this aid,
For little John to see the show,
They hustled him, they iostled him
They pulled him to and fro;
When one of them would chance to see
A knot of friends, then he or she
Would grab the urchin by the hand,
So all the world would understand
That they had simply come you know,
With Johnnie to the show.
And Johnnie's heart was breaking,
His heightened arms were aching,
His pulse was wildly throbbing, -
His little breath was sobbing,
When with new and different ache
In every separate toe,
He lay at night lin his own charge
A dreary poor and lonely one,
And murmured, "Pm the only one
OF all the family, small and large, who
That didn't see the shown
