Why do the pampered sons of wealth
The honest lab'ring man despise ?
Or why do they upon him look
With proud, disdainful scorning eyes t
Are they of better flesh and blood
Than those who guide the shining plowf
Or better than the men who make
The giant forest monarchs bow ?
Are they superior in their form
To those, who o'er the heaving main,
Direct the richly freighted bark
To seek in wonted port again f
Are they composed of better clay
Than those whose sinews shove the plane?
Or better than the stalwert men
Who thrash and grind the golden grain?
Do they reflect how short their life,
Should labor cease its endless round,
Aui honest soil refuse to bring
Or are their minds too high to think
On some cold hearth has served to shield
A patient sheep from winter's Btorm?
Do they e'er think the food they cat,
The couch ou which their boddies rest,
Where nothing once but earth and air,
Which skillful labor found and dressed?
Or do they think that Nature's hand,
Unasked, unaided and unsought,
Has reared their roofs, their tables spread,
And for iheir pleasure only sought t
elect Jpisceltmtg.
THE DOUBLE ELOPEMENT.
The little villnjre of E-
was one of
the many mining towns in the interor of
California, and in this village dwelt Dr.
Hammond and his family. They werenoted
fur their kind hospitality and for the inter
est they took in the general affairs of the
village.
So it very often happened that their only
daughter, Artie, was the belle of many lit
tle social parties. There it was that she re
peatedly met a young man by the name of
Charles Cavey, and his fancy for Miss Ar
tie's pretty fancy blue eyes, and dark brown
curls, kept him constantly by her side.
But what I was going to tell you wa
this that the Doctor had made up his mind
to spend the summer up near Lake Tahoe,
so he could have a fine time hunting and
fishing during the heated term, and, as a
matter of course, he wanted to take his fam
ly with him, for he could Dot think of leav
ing them down there in the terribly hot
weather of tho summer.
Now Artie did not liko this idea at all,
so; after having a good cry about it, she
came into the parlor where Mrs. Hammond
sat and said :
'Now, mamma, this is bad ; just to think
of us going away off up into the mountains,
where we can't see anything but Iudians
and sage brush. I shall die, mamma, I
know I shall, if you take me away off up
there.'
'I ? No, my dear,' said Mrs. Hammond,
gently, 'and to tell the truth, Artie, I shall
be glad to get you off up there where you
can't do so much running around. I am
about sick of this going all the time,'
'Well, I am not,' said Miss Artie, with
an independent toss of her pretty head as
she went off to the window. She bad not
tood there long before she saw some one
coming up the little lane which led to the
house. Then she turned to her mother,
and said : .
'Oh, mamma, Chaley Bavey is coming
here.'
'Yes, just as I expected, you cannot think
of anything but Charley Buvey, now said
Mrs. Hammond, as she left the room.
She soon heard Artie and Charley talk
ing very low together, so she began to won
der what they were saying, and finally she
went to tho door to listen. She heard
Charley say:
Yes, darling, I will come with the buggy
just at dark to-morrow, so we can go and
get married in a short time. Your folks
won't think of suoh a thing untill it's too
late.'
'But, Charley, suppose papa won't for
give us,' said Artie.
'Oh, there's no danger but he will ; and
you'll go, won't you, Artie f Only think
what beavy, lonesome life it will be with,
out you, darlig.'
As Artie looked up into a pair of very
loving hazel eyes, she smilingly. said, 'Yes,
Charley.
Now, gOod tight, darling, and by this
time to-morrow night, you'll be my own
darling little wife,'
Saying this, Charley kissed her, tod as
gone. ' ,
Now, as Mrs. Hammond had been listen
ing all the time, she heard everyting Char
ley said. So she said to herself, ironically,
'your dear little wife by this dire to-morrow
night. Oh, yes, we'll see about that.'
But when Artie came out her mother
was sitting at the table, sewing. She looked
up and asked ;
' Well, Artie, has Charley gone so soon V
'Yes mamma was all Artie said, as she
left the room.
The next day past off at last, and just
at dark a buggy drove up to the front gate.
Now,' thought Mrs. Hammond, 'I'll
show tbem a trick that's worth two of
them.'
So she put on Artie's cloak and hat and
ran down to the gate. A gentlemen very
gallantly helped her into the buggy, but
never spoke a word.
'Well thought she, 'he's afraid to ppeak
for fear Artie'6 father and mother would
hear him. Ahem !'
So away they went, and Mrs. Hammond
sat there thinking what a mco trick she had
played on Artie by running off with Char
ley. Then she began to wonder if this was
the way he treated Artie when they went
out riding ; and next, what would the doc
tor say ? But what puzzled her most was
that they were going in the opposite direc
tion from what she had expected. So at
last she said :
'Well, Charley, had'ut we better go
home V
Imagine her surprise to hear the doctor's
voice answer her ;
'What 1 Maggie, is that you ? What in
the name of all that's good, bad and indiffer-
ent, are you doing hu: ?'
'Oh, doctor, I thought it was Chtrley !'
'Well, I'd like to know where you were
going with Charley at this time of night ?'
'Well, the fact of it is, Meggie, as I sat
on the porch last evening, I overheard Char
Icy and Artie talking about running off to
get married, so I thought I'd just save Char-
Icy the trouble, and take Artie out for a
ride 1 began to think sue was keeping
vcry'etill.'
'Doctor said Mrs. Hammond, 'that is
just what I heard, and my object in going
with Charley was the same as yours was in
taking Artie off.'
'We are a couple of pretty fools to be
eloping in this way ; but here we are at
home again '
Saying this, the doctor helped his wife
out of the buggy, and they went into the
house. Oue glance at the empty rooms
convinced them that Artie was gone, they
could easily guess where. So they made
up their niiuda to make the best of it, and
wait for the runaways to come home.
And the next morning, when Mr. and
Mrs. Charley Bavey came home to implore
forgiveness for running off to get married,
they could not understand the mischievous
twiukle in Dr Hammond's eyes, as be very
readily forgave them, and said :
'Certainly, children ; I ran off with moth
er once and didn't know it.'
Charley and Artie looked from one to
the other, and asked :
'How? when ? where V
The doctor only laughed, an shook his
bead as though the story was to good to
tell, and that was all they evei could get
out of him.
Something for Germans to Lead
Germans who think the Democratic par
ty have anything in common with their oa
tioDal feeling, will please make a note ii
the following extract from Chicago Timet,
the leading organ of the Democratic party
in the west :
"The limet has pursued the manly
course, ine JJutcu ot this country have
proven a most stupendous fraud. The
records of the War Departmeot at Wash
ington show one continuous line of shelved
Dutch generals' during our row.
Chaoceliorsville was repeated on a smaller
6calo wherever Dutch batallions were
placed in battle array. They vote just as
they fought, on the side offer
ing the most lager beer and the most mon
ey. 'It is useless for the Democracy to
pander to tho Dctch Vote. It is a curse
to any party. It will drive away more de
cent Republicans than it will bring strength
to the suppoat of the rottou hulk of Rad
icalism. Then keep up the fire. Let
Amerioao Democraoy send greeting to
Republican France ; American Radicalism
cod tin ue to sympathise with the forthcom
ing Dutch empire.'
The lied Stockings will make another
eastern tour the first week in October.
HOW AMERICANISM OBIGNATED.
A Story of Tariff Andy.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Hon. Andrew Stewart, the veteran pro
tectionist, and Republican candidate for
Congress in the Twenty-first Congressional
district of this State, in the oourse of a re
cent protection speech narrated the follow
ing anecedote, which we print, not only as
giving the original of one of those phrases
which for their sensatious brevity will some
day rank as the American olassics, but
as an original argument for protection t
In 1828 forty-two years ego this sub
jeot was before Congress, and we were dis
cussing it. I was trying to show to tho far
mers of the country . that they were
purchasing foreign agricultural productions
in the form of goods, while they leave their
own produce at home without a market. I
said Ohio, Indiana, and Kentuoky sent
their haystacks and cornfields and fodder
to New York and Philadelphia for sale.
Mr. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, jumped up
and said :
'Why that is absurd. Mr. Speaker, I
call the gentleman to order. He is stating
an absurdity. We never send haystacks
to New York or Philadelphia."
"Well," I said, what do you send ?"
"Why, horses, mules, cattle and hogs."
"Well, what makes your horses, mules,
cattle and hogs 7 You feed a hundred
dollars worth of hay to a horse ;you just
animate and get upon the top of your
haystack and ride it off to market. Laugh
ter. How is it with your cattle ? You
make one of them carry fifty dollars worth
of hay and grass to the eastern market."
Then I came tohe hog question. Said I,
'Mr. Wickliffe, you send a hog worth ten
dollars to an eastern market, how much
corn does it take at three cents per bushel
to fatten it V
'Why, thirty bushels.
'Then you put that thirty bushels of
orn into the shape of a hog and make it
walk off to the eastern market."
Mr. Wickliffe jumped up and said
"Mr. Speaker, I .aclcnowleJge the corn."
Laughter.
That raised laughture just as it does
here now, and the expression found its way
into the newspapers and came to be a
common one : 'I ackowldge the corn."
Renewed laughter. Well you can say
whether it is not that the productions of
agriculture are not sent away in this form.
I submit if this fa not tiue. I am ad
dressing jou as' farmers. The Western
people are deluded with doctrine of free
trade, and they will vote us down if we
do not rally to the rescue. They are work
ing like beavers everywhere to break us
down. If I go to Congress I shall take on
this subject where I left it and defend this
policy to the end. That is what I shall
advocate.

Tue True Church. We are talking
about what is going to save the world, and
how religion is going to be advanced, and
which is going to get ahead. Yon never
can tell by looking at birds' tail feathers
which is going to fly the highest ; and you
cannot tell by looking at churches and their
ordinances, and the outside pparatus,which
is going to take the lead.
I tell you, that that church which has,
first the most power with god, and then,
next, the most sympathetic power with mem
is the truest church. The spirit of the gos
pel is contained in the words, 'We pray in
Christ's stead, be ye reconciled with God.'
This is the whole of it. We are to use
everything that we have in the divine work
of pursuading men to become sons of God.
That ouht not to be a very opcrose thing.
It ought not to be difficult to be understood.
It ought not to be perplexed and confused
as it is. Religion is the simnlost thin? in
the world. A child that knows how to love
father and mother, and say 'Dear Father
and 'Dear Mother knows how to worship
God. A child that knows the whole econ
omy of true church government. Nothing
can be simpler than that. Beechcr.
It is reported that the ex-Emneror Louis
Napoleon, recently purchased through his
agents, an estate in Kent, England, and
that he has invested in British and other
solid securities about thirty millions of dol
lars, ana has an annual income of about a
million ftom his investments in En&lish
funds alone, with as much more from invest
ments in other countries, the United States
included. With the sweet reflection that
in his misfortune penury is not included,
and that the wants of his stomach are to be
appeased with the necessities and dainties
of life prepared by the hands of the Queen
of Prussia's own cook, Napoleon is in a toler
able good position after all. In his old age
he retires from pubho life with a handsome
competence to counteract the great ceres
which rested upon him when tho 'Empire
was Peace ; and besides has a wife and child
left to console him in hit declining days.
Not one-tenth of his age have been thus
comfortably situated. Ex.
