Hi Dame is Isaac IJowcr, I had a broth
er Joe ;
Wo lived once in Missouri but that
teas lonjt; ngo
Before tlie politicians had kicked up
nny War j
When rich and poor was taxed alike,
aud gold was only "par."
Our father was a soldier ho fell in
Mexico ;
He bore the fln which nevct had been
struck to foreign foe,
And when it struck at Sumter, our
mother oliDohed her flst
"That flag," she said, "shall riff, boys,
in its defence enlist I"
So Joe and I did volunteer to do and
dare our best ;'.
We fought with glorious Lyons -the
litiii (if the Went,
And when thut gallant spirit Went Up
to meet his God,
Poor brother Joe did follow he lies
beuuiith the sod.
The flames of war spread widely like
fierce prairie fires
Aud burnt my mother's homestead the
"homestead" of my sires
And forced her to tike refuse with
strangers far away,
And live ou "Bureau rations" and pal"
try "pension pay-"
God only knows the sufferings my
mother did endure
And God ulone appreciates such patri
otism pure
Kor w hen I'd served my time out, "en
' list snuiti," she wrote,
I did, and Irecd the uiggers but not to
make 'em vote !
Three years or more have passed, now,
(ince I was "mustered out i"
I've worked upon the "homestead" like
any "roust about"
built an humble cabin, with auger and
with axe,
Now house aud farm nrc "shingled"
with State and Federal tax.
When I c.imo homo on furlough, a vet
eran volunteer,
I mot a lovely meiden who now to me
is dear.
We promised to invest, then, in matri.
niiitiial bonds
As soon an I returned home, and ! could

Wh.le 1 muxt turn the grindstone,

t'.o we've postponed our marriage until
soriie iulure day,
Lest we become "producers," and have
more tax to pay.
The Congressman I'll vote for must fa
vor the Greenback ;
Must pledge himself lo.vote so I tell
yon that's no "whnck "
Must vote to pay bondholders u-t as I
got in y pay.
And as my mother's pension was paid
the other day.
The biggest Gsh will swallow the small

Our ar.ny was a fish. pond it was so un

For Grant and other "Generals, to

Sure ns my nane's Ike Bowers, I'll nev

Or any other white man who "gulps'
the "miner rant,"
Which strikes the foe who yielded, full
worthy ol our steel,
And nuts tho necks of white men be

I'vo not forgot the "hard tack" and
measled pork I ate :
I've not forgot the knapsack but these
I II not regret.
If luilktoii ami Greenfinch will only

And wine out all the' taxes which eat

Mess pork, "hard-tack" and coffee, the

While Grant and Mister Colfax but
these I'll not regret,
Il Pendleton and Greciibrekn will only
win the day,
Aud that's a oonsumr.mtion fur which
all poor men prsy.

RE If.l HI) OF KIXDXESS.
BY B. r. w.
"Buy t. paper, sir?" risked a bright-
looking boy of a gentleman who was
walking niusiuly along oue of the busiest
streets of an eastern city, on a
chilly
day in November, some twenty
years
since.
"No," replied the gentleman,
"If you only would sir :" mother is
sick aud we need money so much." And
a tear trinklcd duWu the boy's face as he
spoke.
Touched at his evident distress, tnc
gentleman said
"Well, I believe 1 will take one. liut
what is your name ? Aai where docs
ydur mother live V
"My name is Charles Uoward,8ir,aou
we live in Longford Court. My father
died about five years ago, aud now there
are only three of us ; my mother, little
sister and myself. And since father
died, between mother taking iu sewing
and me scllintr newspapers, we have
uiauascd to get along; but when sho
got sick we ran out ot money, aud it has
gone very hard with us since."
"Ah, 'naeeu; ! said the gentleman.
Then, as if somo sudden idea had ocour.
red' to him, he ubruptly asked : "What
is your age? llavo yoU ever been at
school 1"
I am twelve years old, Eir. I went
to school before the death of my father,
and have for some time past been going
to a night school ucar where we hvo,
until mother took sick, when I quit."
"Well, Charles I came near forget
ting to pay you for your paper ; hero is
your money. Call to morrow at Wil
liam Meredith & Co. s, im o,
Street, and I will see what I can do to
still farther assist you. When you call,
ask for Mr.Meredith."
"Thaok you, sir I will come," said
the boy. llut tho last words were lost
on Mr. Meredith, as bo had rapidly
resumed his wulk when he had Euished
speaking, thinking as he had dono so :
"We just need another errand boy,
and I like the looks of this little fel
low very much. I gave him a gold
piece to try him; in tho gathering
twilight he failed to notice the diifer
encc between it and an other coin ; if
he is houcst, he will return it to me,
and he shall have tho position."
Alter partina with Mr. Meredith,
Charles continued to sell his papers, and
fortunately had disposed ol them all
soon aP.er dark, when he went home, up
three flights of stairs, into two rooms, a
lartrc nud a small one, both of which
were uieugcrly furnished. A table
with ono leaf, a few old chairs, two
old mattresses with scant outside covers
that showed a scarcity ot blankets, and
a few dishes were all that constiutcd
their cootenK Advancing to one of
these beds, Charles said :
"Wake up, dear mother j I have good
news.
"What is it, my son V languidly ask
ed Mrs Howard.
lie thcu related his meeting and
conversation witn Mr. Meredith, ot
which the reader is already acquainted
Happening to put his hand into his
pocket to get his money out to count it,
Charles pulled out the coin which Mr
Meredith bud given him ; it slipped and
struck the floor with a metalie ring
"What is that?" said Mrs. Howard.
"A piece of silver, I suppose," said
Charles, evidently thinking it was noth
ing else.
"But it sounded differently from sil
vcr, I thought; brinst it hers and let
me examine it' Why ! it is a five dol.
lar gold piece? here did my son get
it? I hope he has not been stealing."
"Indeed, mother, I did not know I
had it until just now," said Charles ro
allv as much worried about the matter
as his mother.
"Can you not think ? you surely
ought to know something about it,"said
Mrs. Howard.
After thinking a moment, Charles'
face bri;litcusd up as he said :
"I believe I have it; Mr. Meredith
must have given it to ma through mis
take. I will ask him in the morning.'
" Thut is right my son. 'Honesty is
the best policy always; ever lollow its
teachings, and you wil never bo I
astray."
Mrs. Howard was a Christian woman
and ever tried to instill in the minds of
her children thoso correct principl
which were cussential to make them not
only good children, but which would
cxtcud throughout their lives, aud make
them useful and worthy members of so
ctety.
At eight o'clock on the next morning
Charles made his appearance ht Mr.
Meredith's place of business.
"Good morning, sir ; how aro you at
1 h ih t'nio, and how is your mother ak
ed that gentli'iii iii, kindly.
AT ALL. TIMES.
"Oh, I am very well, I thank you,
and my mother is somewhat better. But
we both have been considerably trouo.ed
about one tiling. It seems that on
counting my money last night I found a
piece which did not belong to me, and
tho thought occurred that you might
have given it to aio through mistake ; is
so, sir? said ho showing tnui tne
piece of gold.
"les, it is mine, ana I am very mucn
obliged to ou for returning it. We
need another errand boy, and I believe
you are just the one to suit. Can you
come tomorrow 7"
''Yes, sir, I am very, very thankful to
you. '
"Sot at all j consider yoursoll perma
nently engaged at a salary of four hun.
drcd dollars tho first year, and if every
thing progresses favorably wo will talk
about an increase at the expirUion of
that tfmo." .
"O, sir, I can never forget your kind
ness, and mother will be so glad.
The next day Charles took his posi.
tion, which he held until the end of the
first year, wl.cn he was promoted aud
received six hundred dollars per annum,
which crlnablcd the family to live iu
quite a state ct com tort, compared to
that ol their former lite, lie continued
with the firm five years; at the end of that
time he was getting an annual salary of
fifteen hundred dollars, having by Ins
integrity, industry and perseverance,'
risen from one of the lowest to one of
the highest positions in the store. Short
ly after this a branch store was started
in a thriving town some distance from
the place, and the entire management
placed la tho hands of Charles. He
made money rapidly lor its owners, and
so well pleased were they that they off
ered him a partnership, which he ac
cepted. Some time after he took a uo
tion of going Luithcr west, nnd opening
a store for himself ; so he withdrew from
the firm to the evideut reirret of its
members, and taking his mother and
sistei ho went to Detroit, where he
started in business, and by his prudence
tact and integrity, soon made himsclt
known, and established
The commercial disaster of'57wjs
sweeping acros the country, involving
many in destruction and ruin, when a
merchant might have been seen, late
one afternoon, working at his books in
the counting room iu one of our East
ern cities.
"Lost, all lost !" at length exclaimed
he sadly, closing tho book and restiu
his head upon h's hands.
"A gentleman wishes to see you, sir,
were the woids that hist aroused hiu,
"Tell bim, James, that I' will bee do
one.
"But he said ho must see you."
"Show him in, then,"
"Good evening, sir. Why, Charles
Howard, is it you ? lam very much
surprised as well as glad to see you
How are your folks? .
"We are all enjoying the best of
health, thank you, Jiut 1 came to see
yon on business; I henr tne old house
ot Meredith ana & Co. cannot weather
the storm. Is it so ?"
"Alas ! it is so. We have had exten
sion on our paper iu expectation of re
mittances which have tailed to come,
until we cannot meet our liabilities, and
to-morrow wo have to make tho much
dreaded assignment which we have in
vain tried to avert, unless help comes in
some unexpected manner.

"Have you any blank checks heie ?"
"Why, what do you mean? You are

"1 am ; but the check where is it ?

feeliug. But maybe you iucouveuieuce

"Never mind that. When the storm

Mr. Meredith, when alone by himself.
"Surely, 1 would have laughed at the
idea years ago, it any person had told
me that the boy I then took into my
store as an errand boy would one day
bo tho means ot saving the firm from
ruin."
With the money thus furnished they
were eonabled to continue their busi.
ncss without interruption, and when
the storm blew over they soon mana
ged to pay tho debt, principal and in
terest, although at first thore was con
siderable demurring on the part of
Charles Howard to tho payment of
the latter, but he finally accepted it, and
the debt was thus cancelled financially ;
but this timely and generous aid was
thankfully remembered by Mr. Mer
edith and his partner so loeg as tbey
lived.
What a Worktnoman Thinks.
Hon John A. Bingham, in ono of his
speeches during the last campaign, was
foolish enough to exclaim, " 1 hank God
there is no such thing as Equal Taxa
tion." This came to the eyes of a Mont,
pclier (Vermont) Radical workingman,
which struck him so forcibly that, Kadi.
cul a3 he is, he is forced to comment
as follows :
Of course Bingham and his party
represent the bondholder, who has his
horses and carriage, his Wine parties, his
plate, and his bonds.
1 am a workingman. a have my tin
dinner pail, my tool chest, and my hard
palms, and tired bones at night, and my
hasty breakfast in the morning, a lean
purse, and a tax receipt at the end of
the year.
n hen quarter day comes the bond
holder cuts off his coupons and draws
his interest, and thanks God there is no
such thing as equal taxation.
1 draw out my purse and pay my rent.
And when the year is gone he couns
up his gains, rustics his bonds, and has
a wine supper.
And wheu the year k gone I look at
the tax receipt and go to bed with an
aching heart to dream of Democratic
times, light and equal taxation.
the bondholder does nothing. He is
supported.
x pay btato taxes, county taxes, poor
taxes, road taxes, city and township
taxes, revenue taxes; in fact taxes of
all kinds and on everytding.
1 pay taxes to support the bondhold
ers, who pay no taxes for any purpose
whatever.
I shall vote for cciuul taxation, and
dowu with tho party who " thank God
there is do such thing as equal taxation."
BJi.Not many months since a well-
to.do farmer of a Connecticut village
went to a telegraph office and wished to
send a dispatch to his friends of tho
death and funeral of his wile. Being
somewhat acquainted with the niau a
lady operator expressed sympathy for
him and his motherless children;
whereupon the afflicted widower sobbed
aloud, and tho tears coursed dowu his
checks. At Inst, becoming a little
more composed, he said : "She's dead.
She was worn out liko an old setting
htn. She died without a 'kick."
BX.A Greek maiden being asked
what lortune she would bring her bus.

nothing else to leave me.
Tho Radicals almost everywhere
seem utterly destitute of enthusiasm over
the nomination of Grant and Colfax.
Their attempts in tho way of la.'iGcatiou
meetings have almost, without exception
ether been entire failures in point of
attendance, or hava been spiritless af.

Butlcrssys Bingham is a murderer
Bingham says Butler is a coward and t
