Where little b’uds’ upon life's tree,

In her embracc'conte‘nt’and blast——

Where love low bending from the skies,
Shines through the little children's eyes,
And that sweet faith Which darkness flier—

human.
The feeling has almost entirely subsided in
she city. It has settled down to this, Hayes
is elected, and is going to be inaugurated,and
.llmost everybody is glad of it. The row
was raised principally by respectable demo-
-~rats who expected foreign missions under
I‘ilden, and by the professional rats who
wanted sinecures in the custom-house and
poshoflice. They found it to their interest
E0 raise a rumpus, and demand “Tilden or
illood”—thc blood being always understood
is somebody else’s—but the steady-going
._-itizen who voted for Tilden' don’t see any
‘ISC in keeping up an everlasting clatter for
he benefit of these insects. They have their
own businesspt'o attend to, all the'howling‘
low being done don't afiect them. IThe pplif
’ieians meet with very little encouragement,"
old the frantic appeals of Hewitt, and his
mid gang, fall on deaf ears. I believe that
half the democracy of the city, and the half .
what is worth listening to, are glad in their
’learts that Hayes is elected, and if they
.‘ought at all, would fight to place him at the
head of the government. It is 'a fact that the
expressions in Indiana were inspired from
New York, Imd‘ that the expenses of the
meetings were paid out of the democratic
:.reasury here. But it will fail. Every busi.
aess man knows and feelll’that what the.
~3ountry wants now is peace, and a lasting
one. And they know that it is not safe to
entrust the government to a 'party controlled
by Southern rebels, especially when it is
loaded with the corruptionists of New York
city. They will not countenance anything
of the kind, and as for blood—the South
\von’t fight, the office seekers never did fight
and the people who did, and those who paid
for, it, got quite enough of it twelve years
ago. There is no occasion for fear.
“RARE" THINGS. 4
All enormous trade, anda very profitable
one too, is driven he
Pictures on metal,
articles of use, taken 0"
and antiquities of all ki
prices ; and it seems thatjtlieafgllerlatbey are,
the higher the price to I "for them.
I know a man up-town,.WII6:fib§ great pride
in exhibiting to his friend cellection of
ancient pottery, taken from-the excavations
in Pompeii, from which he paid $7,000 of a
“collecter.” He was‘a little disgusted at
stumbling upon an establishment in Grand
street, where such‘Pompeian potteryismade
in just such quantities as to supply enthusi-
astic buyers, and more disgusted when he
found that the collector of whom he bought
his lot Was the proprietog hereof. His.
workmen could turn out more .“rare” pottery
in a year than was ever used in'Pompcii.
Antique coins are made in the same wayiand
when postage-stamp collecting was the rage,
there was a factory here that manufactured
cancelled stamps of all the governments in
the world. What difference did it make, so
that the amateur collector supposed he had a.
genuine thing?
run TROUBLE lN BUSINESS.
Contrary to all expectation business has
not, as yet, picked up very much, and for a
time there was a trouble to know why.
"Why don‘t you buy '” wrote the New
more :
York jobber to the retail customer. “Our
people are nothuying anything, nor are they
paying for the goods they bought last spring,"
comes back as an answer. “TVhy ?” “Be.
cause they spent allthe loose money they had
last summer at the blasted Centennial, and
they are scrimping to make up the expendi-
ture." There is, doubtless, a great deal of
truth in this. The farmer who took his wife
and two daughters to Philadelphia, did not
get home without an expenditure of from
$250 to $300. Some did it for less, but that
may be set down as about the regular thing.
Now, the moment they got hone, the ques
lion was, “How can we make up this expen-
diture ?” The new dress that Maria was to
have had, she did not get ; the new coat that
the old gentleman intended to get, he put
off; and every’pair of beam in the family
were made to do duty a month or all longer.
And when the bills came in for what they
had purchased, ”they were not paid very
promptly—the. money had gone to the Cell.-
tennial trip. - Andsothe retailer does not buy.
and of 'course, the jobber does not sell. All
this isnonsense, but so it is; and it is felt
from Maine to Texas. Millions of people
went to the Centennial, and the" millions‘ of
money that were spent wouldotherwise have
gone into the regular channels of trade. In
one respect the Centennial was a curse, but,
in others, it was a gobd thing. It will pinch
trade for a while, but the people are infinite-
ly richer in knowledge and experience.
MOVEMENTS IN MORALS.
We are not to have any Moody and San-
key excitement, this year, but Mr. Wm. E.
Dodge and the other wealthy religionists are
making a move "on Satan in conjunction with
the churches. The objective point this year
will be rum. A temperance movement on a
very large scale is being inaugurated, the ef-
-—~ferkb'eing directed especially to saving young
men. Mr. Dodge and hisfrienda'haveimu-
ed an address to ladies, urging them not to
provide wines or liquors of any kind for their
New Year’s callers, and . immediately after
the holidays an efiort will be ninth: to hold a
series of enormous meetings, that: an excite-
ment something like the old. Washingtonian
may be gotten up. The hard times will be a
help to the temperance agitators, for there is
not. half the liquor used that there :was , three
years ago. One bar near the Post-office, the' '
daily receipts of which used to be $200 per
day, does not average 040, and they . are-all
growling. Then the consumption of lager
beer has increased enormously, :aud largely
for the seine reason. ' Whisky ‘is ten and fif-
teen cents a drink—beer five cents. The
stimulator takes the five centldrink, which.
as there is not as much alcohol in it, is an
improvement. But there is plenty of room
for reform.” Inman‘y quarters of_ the city
there area'dozcn ruin mills to every block,
and the poor people support them. PIETRO.
Japan takes the first premium of the year
for big tires. A'flre which broke out in Tokio
on the 27th of November,,burned through 65
streets and destroyed 5,000 houses. The loss‘
of property is estimated at ten millions, and
50 lives were last. Thistbe repert calls “the
largest fire in Tokio since 1872.

low down. In the very first place, I discov-
eredthat she was much like some disagrees.
ble people I know. She .was forever com-
plaining, and she .never depended upon
herself.
Even when she was a little chick, she was
aleyb in some trouble. When the old.com-
'fortable mother began to feel thesunset, and
standing on one foot held up the other very
high and curled in the toes very tight, cluck-
ing with a'cooilig sort 0f tone‘her babies ‘to-
wards thé coop, this small handful of chick-
ebhob‘d was always on the other side 0f the
wall, or in a corner of the fence trying to
force its way through an inch plank, and ob-
conld hear its distressed yips grow long, loud
and despairing, as the contented peep-peeps
of its little companions grew fainter and
times caught thebli‘lndci‘ing ’foblisll bit of a
thing, and slipped it safely under the old
hen's warm, soft breast.
Asshc5grew older she displayed another
trait, which was even worse than her contin-
ual fretting. Instead of scratching about
and trying'to help herself to the little seeds
and scraps about the yard, she would do
nothing bllt stand about till the old hen called
and then watching until she saw which chick
got the largest piece, would snatch it from
the yellow, eager bill, and send with it, on
her black, shiny legs and with her wings
outspread, to a place where she could enjoy
Many a time have I seen one of her pretty
yellow-footed sisters chasing a fly about the
field, her eye like a hawk, her bill open and
showing the coral, the one - streak of scarlet
where the comb would be, bright as flame,
and every feather alert with energy and mo-
tion; while this provoking, young creature
would follow slowly, calculating her moves
and making cross cuts to save extra exertion,
until, the fly having once. been fairly caught,
my shrewd cunning creature would step up,
an ‘ with a .motion like lightning steal the
dainty morsel and swallow it in an instant.
But she had her compensation, and a bit-
ter lesson it was to her. The time came
when real troubles fell upon her, and her
long-drawn eraiks of satisfaction at some ac
coriiplished plan to rifle her companions,
changed to those sharp, short cries of vexa-
tion'and fright, which at last began to win
my pity- '
Very early in the season she stole her nest,
and soon brought forth with an air of tri-
umph seven beautiful chickens and a little
gosling, for our inspection. We were all as-
tonished at the sight of this odd child, and to
this day, we do not know where the egg
could havacome from. ,But I, who had ob-
served her with the intentness of a settled
prejudice, soon saw that her matronly en-
joyment was not without alloy.’ She was
much perplexed and troubled over the
strange appearance of this odd chick. I
hadn’t a doubt that she concluded he was
deformed, for she showed towards him an
unusual degree of care and tenderness. In
fact, as she grew older, she deserted her
brood altogether, and devoted her whole
time and attention to her ungrateful son.
New, she seemed only too glad to seek
and scratch for food. He, however, was of
an independent mind from the first, and was
not to be tied to his mother's apron-string.
She found rare bits and called with an agony’
of entrcaty, but he would stoliilly pursue
his own course, and it frightened her to see
him eating grass with delight, and thrusting
his uncouth bill into every mud puddle he
could descry. '
It was some time before he discovered the
lltlle fish-pond which' we had built behind
the barn ; but one day the glad sight of his
natural element made him shout aloud for
joy. He wallowcd through the thick grass ;
he spread his wings, now growing white and_
strong ; he stretched his graceful neck eager-
grand dive into the limpid pool.
She tagged after, as she always did, with
small squeaks of remonstrance and disapprov-
al ; but she little dreamed what awaited her.
When she had reachcd‘the edge, what met
her anxious gaze ? Her poor unhappy son
had disappeared. But 16! What was that,
far out in the water, bobbing up and down ?
Could it be his tail! and those yellow, pad-
dling, floating things behind, were those her
darling’s feet ? Oh agony ! She ran, she
shrieked, she made the pitying air resound
with her lamenzations. Round and round
the pond she ran, as if distracted. So great
was -'her fear and love, she even ventured-to
stand with her front toes in the water.
“And cried aloud in accents wild,
If I perish, save my child I”
But the child was the picture of content-
ment. Once) in a while, he would answer
her with a- sharp "quack I” which invariably
seemed to scatter all her wits. She never
grew accustomed to his queer voice, or to
the peculiar language in which he made his
lordly wishes known. He was a puzzle, as
well as a trial.
One time. after a half-hour's argument
with him on the wickedness of his ways.
which finally changed to a regular “cut-cut-
ka-dar-cut 1” of angry impatience, he opened
his great mouth, and hissed at her with all
the venom of spitefulness and rage. Every
feather fell flat to her body. Those about
her neck which had stood straight out like a
ruff, showing the creamy skin beneath, be-
came as smooth as silk. The plumes of her
wings, which had been set so far apart, that
the three lighter shades along every edge had
made their lovely contrast with the dark,
withdrew their beauty and their wrath,
sheathing themselves within themselves, like
the many folds of a fan. She fairly shrank
"with fright ; and never after did she venture
to scold her untractable son. '
Indeed, the utter indifference of her unac-
countable child at length taught her the folly
of persuasion, and for weeks she wandered
about by herself in the most disconsolate and
unhappy way. Once in a while, climbing
the bank, and taking a look at the white sails
spread in the sunshine, or the disappearance
of all but the tail and legs, she would give
a loud “squark!” which sounded like a gljoan
and slowly go back to the cricucts and
grasshoppers. _
At last this terrible experience completely
changed her nature. She again mixed with
her kind and joined in the social chat; they
had in happy concert ; but sllc'was a reform-
ed and perfected hen. She earned her own
living, and begrudged her neighbors nothing,
always waiting her turn, and even taking a
neighbor’s chickens to bring up.
2' I. I pleaded that the great sorrow 1‘ her life
should be removed. I told dear Grandpa
that her punishment had been sufficient for
her evil conduct. So he has promised that
her indifferent, incomprehensible offspring
shall help us to celebrate the coming Christ-
mas-time ; and instead of calling it a goose-
chicken. ‘

.Thc celebrated {miection of John Tay-
lor, was sold at all in New York, last
week. At the opening sale, Tuesday night,
ninety-four pictures brought $138,000.
Meissonier’s “Soldiers at Cards" sold for
$11,000. The sale was completed on Friday.
The entire‘collcction brought $332,719 which
is more than the original cost. This is doing
remarkably well considering the much talked
of hard times.
Pres Grant has been telling Senator Gor-
don this. story, which is not the worse for
having been told before: "When the three
commissioners met as at Fortress Monroe,
Mr. Stephens came swaddled u from top’to
toe in an enormous overcoat. Lincoln called
.me aside as Stephens was disrobing, and ob-
served, ‘Grant, what does that performance
of Stephen’s remind-you of?’ I answered,
‘Mr. President, I do not know. But what
does it remind on of i” With one of his
queer winks, Lincoln said: ‘It reminds of
the biggest shacks 011’ of the smallest ear I
more far, and Ithink I have at least fifty -
ly ahead, and, reaching the brink, made one ‘ '

' Song of the Printer.
Pick and click
Goes the type in the stick,
= i the printer stands at his case;
is eyes glance quick, as his fingers pick
The type at a rapid pace;
‘fords are piled up steady and slow~
Steady and slow,
But still they grow,
.nufivords of fire they soon will glow;
«’o erfnl words, that without a sound
ravcrse the earth to its utmost bound;
Words that shall make
‘ The tyrant quake,
rnd the fetters of the oppressed shall break;
Words that crumble an army’s might,
)r treble its strength in a righteous fight.
r'et the type they look but leaden and dumb;
» But the prantersmiles,
And his work beguiles
1y chanting a song as the letters he piles.
With pick and click,
.ike the world's chronometer, tick! tick!
tick!
), where is the man with such simple tools
Can govern the world as I ?
Vith a printing press and an iron stick, -
And a little leaden die;
V'ith paper white, and ink of black,
I support the Right and the Wrong attack.
ay, where is he, or who may he be,
That can rival the printer's power?
. no monarchs that live the wall doth be
live i
l I-clI' sway lasts only an hour;
While the printer still grows, and God only
knows
When his might shall cease to tower.

Grantism is getting to be popular. The.

It takes a great occasion to bring him out so

his honesty, patriotism and firmness shine
conspicuously.—Indl‘anapoll's Journal (rep).

The president having heard the report that
he is likely to be elected Unlted States senator
from Illinois to succeed Mr. Logan, romptly
and unequivocally declares that hewrll notle
a candidate. He gives threereasons for Ibis
determination : First, that although he consid-
ers himself a citizen of Illinois, he has notre-
sided there enough during the last twenty
years to entitle him to the honor of the sena-
sorship; second, that he has been public
servant for about sixteen years and now wants
to become a sovereign once more; third and
chiefly, that he is in favor of Mr. Logan
against any other candidate. He prefers him
because he is one Of the most industrious and
influential members of the senate, and was
one of the best. and bravest emcera In the
Ullllm army.
