For the household
Hath care.
And her song
Is just as tuneful,
And her step

But there amt no use repinin':
There's still spot where the roses twine

The Shipwreck.

A little room, with carpet bright,
And pictures on the WALL
Beside the door a case of books.
Near them a bat and ball
Within our boy is sleeping now
Upon his little bed,
Dreams of happy sailors life
Fit through his curly head.
Above he hears the thunder roll,
And sees the lightning fash;
Before, he sees the rocky shore.
'Gainst which the pillows dash.
The ship is in the breakers now.
He hears the angry roar,
And washed. from the broken wreck,
He falls upon-the floor.

The Cares of Life.

Not moment lose in fretting
Nor let change or loss annoy;
Every sorrows but the setting
OF some sparkling gem of joyl
Happy birds that soar when singing
Have no dust upon their wings,
So the buoyant heart upspringing,
All vexation from 1t filings.
Freedom, freedom for the spirit!
Leisure, too, for higher things;
And may those we love inherit
All the sweets contentment brings!

When the nomination for Lieutenant

nght at once was started in which the
Populists seemed TO take a rather i'm
portant part. They were so persistent
in their demands 20 see their nominee,
Captain Edmund r. Cooke, placed on
the ticket for second place, that some
of the Democrats were rather scared as
TO the probable outcome. AS soon. how
ever. as the nrst ballot had been passed,
the seeming strength OF the Populists
vanished and confidence was restored
in the Democratic ranks. They could
name their ticket without paying any
attention 10 the Populists. The contest
narrowed down 10 the two candidates,
0iessrs. Edward Echola and Merritt r.
Cooke and it was @ friendly one from
the beginning to end. The relative
strength OF the two candidates was about
even. and the dght would have been stiIi

as that contest had narrowed down to the
