What are these Stars?

 

Are they white lambs, these stars on high,
That, when the day-star sinks in night,
Still feed' in pastures of the sky,
And to the shepherds lend their light ?

Or silver lilies are they, there,
With sweetest petals open spread,
That, when we mertals rest from care.
Their fragrance o'er the weary shed?

Or consecrated candles tall,

That on God’s altar shine so bright,
The darkness of our earthly ball

To dissipate with softest light?

Ah! no! they are the letters fair,
With which good angels, clothed in white,
Sweet hymns of love for us prepare,
And in lieaven' 3 book of record write.
——From the German.

11110111111111 ROSE.

Two little boys of the street picked up a
bunch of Michigan roses, defaced, bruised,
trodden on, soiled with dust stains. Some
country girl had dropped them from her hair
or bosom, for they were from a distance and
not seen in any of the florists’ shops. To the
children they were a miracle of brightness,a
. revelation of another wo'rld, and they stood

together on the street as the Crowd surged by,
earnestly and intently examining the cluster
of seven small pink roses and a bud.

A girl passing by and attracted by the
eager and interested look on the children’s
faces, stopped to inquire what they were

I talking about. .

“ What' is this i It 1511 bunch of Michigan
roses,” said the girl, with a twinkle' in her
eyes ;. “and it grows tall, away up to the sky,
and all the bunches is like this cluster; pink,
with yards and yards of flowers."

“Sweet Michigan," said both boys in the
same breath, as the girl went on her way; but
from that day forth, asIthe quest of the Holy
Grail possessed Sir Galahad, so the search
after Sweet Michigan possessed these orphan
boys.

By great prcserverance in sweeping street
crossings, blacking boots, selling newspapers
and many other, bleak little contrivances
known only to the children of want and des-
titution, they got together money enough
to buy themselves each a white straw sailor
hat, with blue ribbon and a little gilt picture

 

 

of an anchor on one end of the streamer and

a small picture of a sailing ship on the front.

They bought cheap shoes and linen clothes

also, through anxious hoarding and saving of
pennies all summer long.

They had picked up Vall the information _

that they could about “Sweet Michigan,"
asking big uewsboys in what direction that
happy country lay. 'I “011, out 'over the
Erie.”

“ Delaware and Lackawanna is just as
good, " responded another.

“ Central with Lake Shore is best of all, ”
shouted a thiid.

The children could not learn much, but
the little the uewsboys told them they re-
membered.

“ Did you know," said one bootblack to
another, “that Johnny and Sammy are goin'
to emigrate ?"

“ No; where they- gOin‘ ‘1’” .

“ Wall, they’ re gein' out West, where
roses grow, or suthiu 0’ that sort."

“ Their heads are kinder cracked, I think
it’s likely. IAnd 'taint no wonder as I knows
on. Last winter was a hard on on bigger
coves than they be.”

“ They was always clever creature and
clever as the day was long."

“ Yes ; and the_ littlest uewsboys on the
street. "

. f‘rThey’reIagoin' to start in the _mornin' ;
we mustVsee ’emI ofI,VBi11." _ .

In, the morning more than twenty news-
boys and sweepers and bootblacks went down
to Eric to see the boys start on their journey. I

“ We must. take a collection for ’.em'
Pass round the hat boys. "

“ No, " answered Johnny and Sammy ;3
“we are going to sweet Michigan and shan’tI
need any money. Keep it yourselves. " V

“ If yen get there before I do Iremember'
me; I’m coming too," sung Josh Bates.

“ we will."

The boys got aboard a Western express,
their friends waved their hats and gave them
a cheerful farewell ; the train was 01!, John-
ny’aud Sammy had started on their new
lives.

“ Tickets, boys ;" said the conductor.

“ Yes, sir ;" responded the children, tak-
ing out a neatly folded brown paper from-
each vest pocket and handing it to the agent. '
The packages contained exactly fifty cents
apiece. They were the remnants of the

earnings of Johnny and Sammy. There,
were 1911:. five-cent pieces, the rest was ini

pennies, Vt'vvo and three cent coins. The man
looked down into those sunburned faces.
He read no story of misgiving there, but a
confidence and hope that was pleasant to

see.
“ Where did you say you we're going ?”

gether.

“ Is' this all the money you have ?”

“ Yes, sir. ”

“ Put it back in your pockets.
running away, aren't you ?”

“ Yes, sir. "

“ I shall have to send you home. "

“ Wé’ re agoin’ hOIm'e, Vsir. ”

“ Where are your father and mother ?” '

‘ Both dead, sir. ". .

Then the boys told the conductor the story
of the rose, and their desire to go to the coun-
try of that sweet flower; of the summer's
toil accomplished inthis hope; of the hats,
shoes, and linen clothes, and lastly, of the
money saved so anxiously and carefully.
“And you had better take it, air, for we
sha’ n't need it where we re agoin’.

The loneliness, innocence and youth of the
boys touched the heart of the agent.

“ How do I know but God’s a calling them
there ?" said he himself. “I am not ageing
to do anything contrary to Him, or to‘go agin
Him' in any way.” So he took two tickets
and wrote on them:

Erie—Pass these boys along the line to
“Sweet Michigan,” and ask Lake Shore to do

the same. SAii.'

V So Johnny and Sammy were passed over
the route, and their story was home along
with tbem. Travelers gave them food from
their baskets. At night a motherly woman
folded shawls to put under their heads, cov-
ered them up, and made them go to sleep' in
seats near her own. Sdmmy and Johnny
really had a glimpse ofVParadise as they steam-

and hiswife sat in the scat in front of the
boys. There was a small book-rack with one
book in it between the! two seats. The

and look at it, but they 'wOuld not, for they

Bible from the rack, and read on the out-
side :

copy of the Holy Scriptures to the Erie Rail-
road company. ' .

“ Mighty polite, I call that, Mariar. Who
can say after this thas corporations don' thave

any souls ‘1’" Then he opened and read the

first verse on which his eye rested:

Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the
least of these ye have done it to me.

And again he said :

When my father and mother forsake me
then the Lord will take me up.

“ It’s kind a afiectin‘ to me, Mariar. I
can't read it to the boys. You take the book
and read ’em somethin‘ they will like to hear.
When I wasa boy I liked the'story of Jonah
dreadfully ; but I always kinder spleened

Then Mariar read several pleasant stories,

In the night the boys waked up and whis-
pered together.

“ Yes," they are all good to us. They
ar'n’t the same kind that used to be in the

“ I don’t know~there's some awful good

where the roses grew ; there’s Josh and the
p’licemen was always good to us, and we
could sleep in the station when we couldn’t-
sleep anywhere else."

“ I don' 1 mean that kind; I mean the swell
ones.”

“ Well, they was pretty good 'too, especial-
ly on Sunday, Sammy." '

“ Wall, Conductor,” said the farmer, “me
and Mariar must git off at the next station ;

“ I’d like to know what becomes of these

Along the level of the prairie the sun burn-'I

ed red and warm. Acres of wheat were cut
and gathered into ricks that looked like little
old women with their bonnets on. There
also were sweet ricks of pink buckwheat, and

. the stubble land where the buckwheat had

grown was pink, too. A very large orchard

year. Great flocks of hens, turkeys and

ducks, gave animation to the farm. The.

great barn doors were wide open and Out of
them issued the sweet scent of newly cut
clover and timothy. Across the road, oppo.
site to the barn, a fine flock of cows‘ waited
to be milked. They stood quietly. chewing
the cud as Johnny and Sammy came to the
yard by the road side where they were.

“ Will they hurt us, Sammy ?"

“ No, they are gentle things; I know by
their pretty eyes. ” ,

The farm-house was a pleasant building a_'
story and a half high. The doors and win-
dows were open. The path that lead -_ from

s the house to the gate was bordered “with

camomile and China asters, with some bright
nasturtiums. But over the portico‘by the;

1 .front door there crept a magnificent vine of

the Michigan rose. Its time of blossoming
was long since past, but a few clusters 'V star-z

recognized the ‘flowers at once.

“ It is the place,” said the boys; “Sweet
Michigan,” and opening the gate they walk-

‘door and a sad locking woman advanced to
meet them.

' “ Come in, children,” she said very gently
and sweetly.

“ Is it the place. 9” inquired _Sammy and
Johnny.

“Yes, I think so.”

“ We are so‘ glad 'tO' getI here." Then, in
answer to her questioning, they told their oft-3
repeated story: "‘But' we were so glad when
we saw the rose. I

REASONS WHY mt CANNOT. SUPPORT TILDBN

. AND mnuioxs — 'rnn runners AND

ruu‘ nsxoanov. '

. That certain Democratic papers, in their
treatment of those who are not of - their opiu-
ion, rely more upon insults than arguments is
a disagreeable fact. ' We had hoped for a re-
spectable campaign, and we believe that a
great majority of the citizen's of this country
«share in the wish. At all events, we believe
that facts and reasons will have more weight
this year than invidious rhetoric. Let us
address ourselves, then, with the former to
those with whom a ' sound financial policy
can be h0n0ra'bly and earnestly discussed.

It is generally an admitted and:undisputed
altogether free from'infiation. elements, nine-
tenths of I the inflatiOnists and repridiators are
in the V. Democratic 'ranks. ' All important
elections- iu which the finance'policy stood in
the foreground have been conducted by ' the

Republicuns IaVndIIUdIependentsV, as the Ida--

fenders of hard-money against the Demo-
crats as the supporters of. inflation. We
recognize with pleasure that in' the accepted
platform of the Democratic national conven-
tion some progress has been made in this re-
spect. It p'ronOuncIesV' in favor Of hard mon-
ey,——only' in theory, it is true, but even that
is sOme gain in cempa'rison with the Demo-
cratic state platforms of this and the preced-
ing year, and we hid it welcome. But as the
first practical measure for the carrying out
of this hard money theory, the Democratic
platform proposes—What? The repeal of
the resumption clause of the act of 1875,
which fixes the resumption of specie pay-
ments‘ in the year 1879. '

In respect to this resumption act of 1875,
we criticised it freely at the time, but in its
details providing for the bringing about of
specie payments it Was not strong and express
enough. 011' the other hand, however, we
Cordially praised it for the reason that the
law settled the promise, and therein the
duty' of the government to begin at a certain
time the redemption of the . paper money
indebtedness. In this promise this. express
recognitionofan exactly defined duty of the
government a great gainwas Vmiine, for the
discussion about specie resumption thereby
stepped over fromthe kingdom Of generali-
ties into the domain of the defined.

If the law 'which contains this promise was
not perfect in all its details then there rc-I
maiued but one duty for every honest sup-

porter of a hard-meney policy, namely, so to

perfect these details that they. should prove
adequate to the phrpOse. But what does the
DemOcratIic platform propose ? Net to com-
plete the law and render. it sufiicieut for the
accomplishment Of this object, but in a
word to recall that promise. And what
does the repeal of the Resumption act signify P
Nothing else than the repudiation of a prom-
ise given by Congressiu the ferm of a law of
a duty solemnly recognized by the United
States government.

The reason which the Democratic platform
assigns for this repudiation, is that Vthis prom-
ise of resumption in fact stand as a “binder.
ance"' in the. way of practical resumption.

,V We take the liberty to say that this is con-
nominate. nonsense. But it is something

more than mere ucnsense- , it is a very trans.
parent evasion to cover up a step which
every honest bard-money-mau must-be asham.
ed of as a piece of deceit and treachery.

Everybody knows that the repeal of the
resumption act has been the battle~cry of the
infiatiOnistsinor the‘past-two' years. 'In Con—
Igress, at every opportunity, - they have .V made
this repeal the goal of. their exertions, andiin
e'very one of their state platforms they have
stout-1y demanded the same thing. And now
came the friends 01! hard money into the
Democratic nationalconveution and agree to
the repudiation 05 this promise. That is the
simple state' of the case.

If the Democrats should succeed to power,
the repeal of the promise of redemption will,
in conformity with their platform, become
their very first step. The 'infiationists will
eagerly lead on the attack, and the Demo-
cratic friends 0f hard money willassist them
in it. And what more ? The Democratic

platform speaks ofa host of other things, '
”by which the way for resumption of specie
payments must be prepared, aseconomy, etc.
Now that is 3charming But We know this

talk. We heard it during the Ohio campaign
of the preceding year, from the lips of Messrs.

'Ewing, Pendleton, &c. The same arguments
were used at that time to persuade the peo-
ple that the resumption of speCie payments
must not'be thought'of for a long time still
to come. What, at the time, then served as
a ground against resumption we behold now
in the Democratic national platform as a
means of its accomplishment. No right-
thinking man can come ,to other conclusion

‘ than that this platform; with its express re.

pudiation of a promise made in the form of
law, is, in spite Of its beautiful rhetoric about
harmony, nothing else thana concealed, and
indeed a very miserably concealed comprom-
ise with the infiationists.

This compromise appears still more clearly
in the choice of candidate. That Mr. Tilden
is a hardmoney’ man, we believe. That he
would make-every exertion to carry through a
sound financial policy we accept as true.
Whether he would succeed amid the too-
power inflation element- of the western and
southern Democracy,I'. we doubt. But the
Democratic convention has placed by his side.
as the vice—presidential- candidate Mr. Hend-
ticks: Who is Hendricks ? As' is universal-
ly- known, he is the pet candidate of the' in-
fiationista. If, then, Mr. Tilden should be
elected'and then die ;' if any fatal-accident
should befall him, what then ? Then Mr.
Hendricks, the leader of the Democratic
infintionists, wouldbepres'ident of the United
States. That- might be termed a far-fetched
possibility, but it is not so very far-fetched-
It has been already mentioned at the head:
quarters of the inflationists In The Cincin-
nati Commercial, among in correspondence,
we find a statement of reasons for the nomin-
ation of Mr. -Hendricks' to the vice-presidency.
The writer says, among other things. “A
delegate frOm New YOrk assured me of his
conviction that there Was no doubt. of .TVilden‘ 11
election." He added : I “Mr. Hendricks
will not lose anythiugby accepting the_ nom-
ination. Tilden will not live through his
term of office, if indeed he survives till elect-
ion day. Mr. Hendricks will be president
within two years, and in four years we can
easily re-eleet him." 'Mr. Hendricks has ac-
ccpted the nomination. That Mr. Tilden,'to.
use a mild expression, is not a robust man,
every one who is acquainted with him knows.
Several presidentswhowere' much stronger
than he have died before the completion of
their term. In case, then, of a democratic
victory, there would stand between the pres.
idential chair and the leader of the inflation-
ists only one rather feeble'human life. That
is at any rate a fact which no one can deny.

. If,‘then, there-are friends Vof hard money

‘ who can compose themselves in the presence

of an express repudiation of a resumption

promise, made in the form of a law', and of

‘the possibility of a President Hendricks, let

them reconcile it to their consciences, not us.

Village Improvement Societies.

 

There are just about four months in the
year in which an ordinary country village is
a pleasant place to dwell in, via: from May
to September." The muddy streets and side-
walks of autumn and’sp‘ring, and the icy and
snowy ways, of winter, render it uncomforta~
blc for walking or driving. The foliage and
herbage of summer cover up the ugly spots,
and the greenery of ' the growing months
transforms the homellest details into the
pleasant and picturesque. The moment the
greenery disappears, dilapidated fences, bro-
ken-down sheds, unkept commons, neglected
trees, and all the tolerated uglinesses' of the
village assert themselves. The village is beau-

. tiful no longer. There are thousands of vil-

lages scattered over the country, in which
there has never been apublic spirited attempt
made to reduce their disorder to order, their
ugliness to beauty, their discomforts to coin-
fort. Every man takes care, or (lees not take
care, of his own. There is no organic Or
sympathetic unity, and the villages, instead
of' being beautiful wholes, are inharmonious
aggregations.
paint. Some keep their grounds well, and
others do notkeep their grOuuds at- all. Un-

sightly wrecks of vehicles, offensive piles 'of

rubbish, are exposed here and there, and every
man apparently feels at liberty to make his

belongings as unpleasant to his neighbor as it

pleases him. No public 's'eVthiIi'uVént of' order

is developed; no '10ch pride" is fostered; there

is apparently no desire. for beauty or 'con'ven-

ience that goes one step beyond 'onc's home

in any case.

It is, therefore, with great gratification
that we netice' here and there the organization
of Village Improvement Societies, and the
beautiful work which they are accomplishing. '
Wherever they have been in existence long
enough 'to accomplish anything, shade trees
are planted by the side of the highways, old,
neglected commons are fenced' in, graded and
planted, sidewalks are laid' in all the streets,
and a public interest in order and beauty is
developed, which makes every man more care-
ful of his own. Two villages, of which we
happened. to know, have been quite trans-I:
towed Within two or three years by the op-
erati'ous of these organizations; and their
beneficent beautiful work, already done, will
insure to their localities a certain amount (if
beauty and convenience fer the next hundred
They have not been met by the pub-
lic apathy that they anticipated, and they;
have been enabled by subscriptions, fairs and;
festivals, to raise Vsuflcieut money for the.
work they have instituted, while individual
citizens have coI-Ioperated with them in their
schemes. ,

There is no VgooIId reason thy erVerVy I(VI:I011‘-
siderable village of the country should notbe
made cOnveuieInt, healthful, and beautiful- ,by
the operations of such societies as these.
There is no good reason why a public feeling
of pride should not be engendered by them, '
and an earnest purpose developed to make
each village more attractive than its neigh-
bor.Se1_fisanessVis all on the side of the socie-
ties; for improvement in beauty and comfort
means improvement in value. Emulation
between neighbors and between villages is
excited, and _uiggardly property-holders are
shamed into efiOrts to contribute to the popu-
lar desire for harmony. This' is not a theory;
it is experience. for,.whereve1' they have
been tried, these societies have done the work
and exercised the influence we have stated.

Again, these societies are agencies of cul-
ture. Developing a public spirit and a feel-
ing of local pride, they cannot fail to bear
fruit“ in other and higher directions. Public

and domestic architecture will be the first to
feel the effect of. the new sentiment. Men
willbuild pretty houses, in tone with the new-

veloped with relation to public buildings and-
their surroundings. The new town ball will
be better than the old. The new churchwill
be an ornament and a glory, which the old
one was not.

and a public culture nourished by them,”
they are, themselves, the outgrowth of a

To run Porur..—Sa1uuel J. Tilden claims
credit for exposing Tweed and bringing him
to punishment. It is a Iwell-Iknownfact that
Tilden presided at a Democratic convention
wherein Tweed made a speech in favor of
reform nearly one year after the New York
Times exposed his rascality. E. A. Storis,
inaspeech at Chicago, hit the nail on the
head when he said.

“This Mr. Tilden, the Reformer, after hav-
ing for' cars and e'ar's' come at the heck and
call of .Twee after Tweed had been ex;
posedby the Republican press and the M
publicanI party, amps on to the curl
when it is all y to go, and the streets in
good order' for' travel, and takes' a ride on it
at Republican expense. [Lend cheers and
laughter.] Let us have it out; Tweed was
tried by aRepubliIcan judge, before a Repub.
lican jury, prosecuted by a Republican at.
torney general, convicted in the good old
Republican way, sent to a Democratic all,
[laughter,] in charge of a Democratic jailer,
and escaped in the: old Democratic style.
[Renewed laughter. ] Thus ends that lesson
of reform." I

Claude Mellon engraved' in 1700 a full head of
Christ' in one unbroken line. This line com-
menced at the apex of the nose, and wound
out and out like a- Watch spring, until it
ended in the border of the picture. Mezzo.
tint engravings are produced thus. The steel
or copper is made rough, like fine sandpaper.
To produce soft efiects this rough surface is
scraped 0115.. If you want a white place, or
“high light"' in your engraving, scrape the
surface smooth, and then the ink will not
touch it. If you want faint color,- scrape Off
a little. Such engravings look like 111511016.
graphs. Etching is adapted to homely and
familiar sketches. Almost all the great paint-
eis were etchers. Etching' is done thus. The
copper 01' steel plate is heated and covered
vvith black varnish; the engraver scratches
off this 'varnish with sharp needles, working
on the surface as he would on paper with a
pen. Nitric acid is then poured over the
plate, and it eats away at the steel and cop
per wherever the needle has scraped off the
varnish. When the varnish is removed with
spirits of turpentine the engraving is seen in
the sunken lines on the Iplatc.I—Troy Tim.

The Methodist Church.

A certain class of Democratic editors, more
especially' in the South, take every occasion
to lug’ 1n the Methodist Episcopal Church in
connection with political questions, attempt.
ing to have itnppear dust that church is a
sort of semi-political organization. This

 

does not work any injury to that church, but »

only serves to show up the real spirit of such
newspapers. That church is wholly free
from anything like sectiOnaliinn, and these
ultra politicians hate everything which' is no:
sectional. By base appeals to séctionai pride
they seduced the Southern people into awick-
ed rebellion, which their better judgment all
the Iwhile condemned. These same fellows,

who, by the way, are Va disgrace to the news,
paper fraternity, areincapahle Of making a dis-
passionate argument, but seek to mould pub-
lic Opinion, by meeting at what they can not
answer, and lying when they are afraid of
the truth. They will notexercisc manhood
enough to tell just what the character of that
church is, but incanly and sneakingly mis-
represent it whenever they can find a- pretext
for doing it. They charge that .it is a politi-
cal church, a “third term church," and all
that, but this amountstonothing with decent,
intelligent people, and only injures the writ~

era of s11ch paragraphs, if they are not so low
down- as to be proof; against utter degrada-

tion. —Knomi'lk 0hron1‘ck._
