ADVICE TO THE PRESIDENT.

There is one more way, and | think
the best way, that the present and fu-
ture Presidents of our land can pro-
tect themselves from the hand of the
assassin, and that is to stop shaking
hands with crowd of people. Kiss
ing and shaking hands with strangers
are two things that men can get along
without doing in public. Our Lord
was betrayed with kiss, and my ex-
perience has been that the man that
would shake my hand the longest was
the one that wanted watching the
closest in every business transaction.
Let our President set the example of
letting strangers alone, and then his
example will be worthy of imitation
oy us all.-[S. P. Averill in New York
Times.

Not for the silent chief whom death
Gently and sedulously keeps
Within splendid calm; naught mars
His well-won laurels where he sleeps
Rather for him who newly stands
Half startled on a slippery height,
Like strong falcon which some hand
EMBODIED rudely, whom the light
Floods unforeseen, but who shall prove
A wide-winged strength! For him we prtA
Give him such wisdom swift and keen
He shall restore us Yesterday.
