THE THANKFUL HEART.

Thou art not rich, thou art not poor;
Thy fortune keeps the middle way.
No ills thy strength cannot endure,
Apportioned to the passing day.
Thou art not young, thou art not old,
Yet calm thon seest thy years depart,
And joys are thine thousand fold
Because thou hast the thankful heart.
A thankful heart for life alone
For beauty in the earth and skies
land for such share as thou dost own
By happy gift of seeing .eyes);
For human loves endearing bond,
Where stanchly thou dost bear thy
part;
For solace here and hope beyond
For all thou hast the thankful heart.
So to this day of crowning cheer
By easy course thy steps did tend,
Since with each day of all the year
Some grateful leaven thou didst blend.
No chance thy prize from thee can wrest;
While life shall last thou shall not part
With that good gift (of all the best)-
The treasure Of a thankful heart.

Demand for Tariff REFORM.

OF course, conventional resolutions
such rs those in the Republican plat
form can not bring about tariff changes,
but such resolutions, which are en-
tirely at odds with the wishes of the
political machine of the Republican
party, would not be adopted unless
there was strongly pronounced feel
ing on the part of the people whom
the delegates to these conventions rep
resent; hence it becomes evident that
If the Republican majority in Congress
refuses to act 1t runs the risk oflplac-
ing in the possession of the Democrats
the best possible issue with which to
win a sweeping victory in 1904. -Bos-
