There was no jmbl.c debt, No greenbacks took the place of gold. No millionaire had jet II w pile of Seven-Thirties spent. On which no tax wai due: But each man lairlv paid his tax, When this old hat was ev. When this old hat was new, Elections siill were fiee. And every man was thought to have A right to liberty: Ancs-ts were made by course of law. Trials were speedy, too, Acd Reward rang no little bill, When this old hat was new. Whfii tl.i old l.nt was new, This land was in iis piiaie. Miscegenatic u was untaught In all Ulis huppv clime.

The tuast 4,Tho American Ilondhulders the only true representatives oflairo pean Civilization in America," the Hon.

We own thirty Ii und red million dollars in bonds and greenbacks: It will take over one-fifth of all the property of every description in the United .States to pry us thes-i debts. We own u:e horse in even live; one cow in every live; one sheep in every live; one acre of land in every Jive, one fifth of every homestead in the United States and to secure the j a ment of these, we htdd a in irtgage on every farm and every article of property in the United States. Cheers. More than this. Urotber JJondholders: ThatA'ast wealth goes scot free of taxation. We ride aver the public roads and we pay no road tax. We send our children to the public schools, and we pay r.o school taxWe are potected in our rersons and property by the tate, county, township and eoiporatioii ollicers. and yet we. arc unk u died by taxation for their support. Yet (.Jods, can the nobility of Kuropo boa't of more? Prolonged cheering and cries of "(.5 yon." Fr ilier landholders, we do not work, neither do vyc sweat, yet we have millions who toil and moisten the Soil with their daily sweat to j ay the interest on our b nds. We have them in our power.

The invalid soldiers at:d the soldiers' widows have the impudence to complain that a year is imt sufficient to feed, cloth, shelter and educate six helpless children, whose father's bones are bleach iuir on the country 'n battle-field; and that if the bonds were taxed, the j ledges made to the soldier when he left his home, that if ho fell, his family would be reared and educated, eoul 1 be fulfillod. llrotlier landholders, li.-tcii to no such cntrcutici.

"See the Other .Side." Have you ever thout. of what :i world jef advice is contained in these few words '! How much pain and injustice, how much unnecessary unhapjiincss flight be aroid ed by attention to their meaning! ltec o'.lcct the story of the two Knights who, apjiroachin; each other on opposite &idc of a burn is lied shield supported on a col umn at a road-crossing, exclaim in the same-breath, the one on the beauty of this gohfen shield, the other ou the excellent workmaushipof this silver shield. This slight difierencc led to a warm argument, ending, as the story goes, in their placing each others "hors du combat." A ojood Samaritan passing by restored each tocoii eiousncss, and leadiuo; them around the innocent occasion of their combat, showed them that it faced gold one wa' and silver the other, and scut them ou their way with a very favorable impression of the beauty of "See the other sie." 5ut to me these words say mere, and 1 imagine they tuny be remembered with advantage in a variety of circumstances. Ilricfly let me tell you some of the lessons. When you are sorely tempted ; w hen sin presents her fairest lace to lead you from your path, hesitate, halt, and wait till you can calmly contemplate ''the other side." Never, when you hear one propose a work (to be accomplished, tell him "that is impossible ;'' check the word on our lips. That which is to-day looked upon as impossible will to-morrow be accomplished. Yea, though ticenfy attempts have failed, discourage not another, but recollect there may be still another point of view still another sutV, v hich. bciwj sccn the tiling is done . And one step farther: Are jou in trouble 1" Are you pour ? Do you find it hard work to get along, young man ? Do y'U "earn your bread by the sweat of your brow V1 These may not be m'sfortunes I Trouble may serve to moderate your over-estimation of worldly god, may turn vou from "the things which are seen" to the contemplation of "the things which are not seen," "the things which are eternal," and the baptism of trial work out your salvation ! And why complain cf poverty '! Study the lives of those who stand out in bold relief for the good they have done the world. I low inanv of them have owed their eminence to the necessity which compelled them in their youth to battle with the world and carve i path for thcm.-elves through :dl obstacles. No. don't complain; but rather turu to ac count even the mountains in your p:.th. and, you may rely upon it, if you do. your best, you will say, ictis irtl trs it ut$. when years have rolled on and you have at length reached a point fro n which you j can look back and "sc: he other iid?.'' G.ii&tbling iia Sun iVancfsoThis accursed vice is eairicd on to a fearful extent in this city, and is produ ciig its legitimate results. Recently a young man named Thomas (J. l.oehr, a clerk iu the state prison at San (Juentin. nme-hed in the tolls of the gamblers of Sau Francisco. San Quentin being only twenty miles from this city, and a steamboat plying between the two places, Loehi was enabled to come down here frequently, lie wa; gay and fast, and made frequent visits to the ':tigcrV lair, lie became so infatuated with the fascinating s.iort that he lost all the money he had. To "get cveu," as he called it, he apprpriated money which was placcu in his keeping by parties at the prison, and gambled that oil', vainly hopiug to win back his other losses, lie finally became so deeply involved that his villainy was discovered, lie fled from San Quenlin, and left behind him a letter expressing great penitence for his misdeeds, and avowing his intention to commit suicide. It wriö discovered, however, that he did not kill himself, but that he was hid iu this city. The detectives got ou his track, and peedily louud htm. lie is now in jail, awaiting trial i.in iy a iew wccks Dele re 1. ...1 .!.- fitv nM indiet1 , , - , . r,1"' ,uu"" A' , V U4, nters j mey are nnei cvvu, ana are set free. In a stone's ihrow of our Citv Hall f four gambling hells are iu full blast every night, sur.ouuded by absorbcl and eager players, Of course the greatest secrecy has to be observe! b ihe gamblers, and all sorts of doors, and passages, and winl-ing-ways have to be gone through before one can enter the ' tiger's" presence. The most fashionable gambling house here is fitted up like a palace on the inside. It is furnished with the rarest and richest carpets and most eoslly furniture, and its proprietors give Magnificent diuners every day to the gentlemen who congregate there. The n1c tables are loaded with the choicest 1 Ojuors j the best winws in the city are to be found there, and the most fragrant Havana cigarsarc furnished free t) the player. Is it any wonder that, when a young man once enters the charniel precincts of these luxurious gambling bells, he is lel ou by degrees to Ids ruin 't The police are working hard fo break up these vile leiis, but they lind it a herculean task, for the most "respectable citizens" patronize them, and the officers are baffled at every step. In Richmond, Ya., on Saturday night, a Mrs. Perkins aruuel her husband thinking she heard burglerb in the house. Tho couple searched the rooms, but finding nobody, again retired. Sometime afterwards Mrs. Perkins had occasion to go down istairs, and while on her way back, her footsteps aroused her husband, who sprang to the passage, pistol in hand, and seeing hi3 wife approaching, mistook her for a burglar, ami immediately fired, the ball striking her in the breast, killing her almost instantly.

William 35. Asfor Mow He Enjjs SSi.s "VciiltI. A Xcw Y'ik correspondeut nive.s the folhiwiu lricf.ketch of Jie habits uf the ! wealthy William J. A.stor : No bank clerk oo the salary of 81.000 a year goes to his bank as regularly, or workfl inauy hours as William Ii. Astur, who counts up his 840,000,000. His lit tie one-story office, a step or two from IJroadway, on Drinee street, with its iron bars, making it resemble a police prison, is the den where he performs his daily toil, and out of all his wealth rmvl labor gels only "his victuals and clothes." lie attends personally to all his business, knows every dollar of rent or income that is to become due. pays out every dollar, makes his entries in his own hand, and obliges his subordinates to come to him for information while he docs not go to them. Ho generally comes down in the omnibus at an early hour of the day and remains eloscly absorbed in business until 5 o'clock. He rarely takes exercise, and finds his pleasure iu the closest attention to business. A friend of mine rode to Washington with him iu the same ear from New York He neither spoke nor got out of hts seat, ami hardly moved, from Jersey City to Washington, lie usually leaves his office at 5 o'clock and walks slowly up U road way to Lafayette place. lie is oer six feet high, heavily built, with a decided German look, small hazy e3es, as if he was half asleep, head rouud as a pumpkin and about as destitute of hair, lie is exceedingly hospitable, and in the "season" gives a dinner to his friends weekly, at which the richest viands on services of gold and silver aro presented by liveried servants to his guests. C'npt. Blairs Arctic JC.:cälClo:a. Henry CJriunvdl. Ksp, has received a very important ami interesting letter from Capt. C. F. Hall, the Arctic explorer, which announces that lie has learned sueh facts in his present expedition as to lead to the belief that there are yet surviving three men of Sir J.ohn Franklin's expedition. Crosier, who succeeded Frauklin is command of the expedition, and three others, huvc been seen Crosier reduced to a skeleton, and being starved to death, while his three men were fat, they having lived on human flesh the flesh of their companions, who alldevcrted the two ships that were last in mountains of ice, while Crosier would not eat human fle.-h. The man finding the party at once took them in charge, and, catching a seal, fed Crosier sparingly, day by day, until his life was saved. lie thus cared for the men through the whole winter, duriuir which one of the men died.

About J o'clock Wednesday morning she attempted to fill a lamp with kerosene while it was yet burning, when it came in contact with the flame and exploded, covering her with the burning fluid. She ran out the door screaming, and those who were watching with her lollowcd her out, and threw a barrel of rain water, which was standing by the door, on her, and subdued the flume. She then started for home, about half a mile distant, running ami uttering the most fearful cries. Her husband heard her and met her at the boor, and took her iu his arms to carry her to the house. when his fingers penetrated her f csh t j the bor.e, so dreadfully wa-i the burndShe died about o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Monmouth (HI.) Itevicw. An AnisTocuATic Wedding. A brilliant wedding took place in Albany recently, the parties united being ex Senator John V. L. 1'ruvn and a daughter of Judge Parker. Over one hundred carriages were in attendance, and the sidewalk leading to tlie portals of the edifice j was laid down with llrussels carpet. The groom entered the church by one door, and the bridal cortego by another, to the measured music of a melodious band.

The French foot is meagre, narrow aud bony;"thc Spanish is mall and clcgi ntly curved thanks to its Moorish blood, corresponding with the Castilian pride uhgh in the instep." The Arab foot is proverbial for its high arch; "a stream can run under the hollow of it." The foot of the Scotch is large and thic k; ahat of the Irish flat and square; the Lnglish, short and flesh'. The American foot is apt to be disproprtionatcIy small. A foot, for both beauty and speed, should be archel, fairly rounded, and it.length proportioned to the height of the person, the ankle especially of women should be round and firm, and not too small.

How the Pope Lives. An English catholic journal states that the stories of the pope's extravagance are willful and wicked exagcrations. His personal expenses lor carriages, stables, c.. do not amount to 70 scudi (or dollars) a month. His own table costs one seudi a day, and all he spends returns t his people, as luxury is unknown in the papal court, and the pope's own tastes ami habits are those of a priest of the most molest pretensions.

After the lapse of six months he made his appearance at the insurance office and den an!ed his money, as the cigars had been all burned. "Put not on loard the vessel, sir," sail the secretary, "for she is in dock now "Yes, on board the vessel, I smoked them, and therefore burned them all myself, and the insurance says against fire." The secretary seemed taken aback, but told the smoker to call again next day.

Chicago Times. John Rrown's widow is living in California in rather destitute circumstances It has been proposed to raise a fund by contribution for her support. The Xew York Times, commenting on the proposition, says: "When Wendell Phillips bore, as it were with pious care, the ashes of old John IJrowu into the wilds of northern New, York, end shook the huudredswiutcred piuc3 with his eloquence, as lie laid the martyr's relics beneath the sods of the wilderness oh ! it was vastly fine! Rut how beautiful wouhl have been the climax if the orator had bethought him to feci a little in hid well-lined pocket for the dess tituto survivors of Irs familv." Massachusetts philanthropy is notothat practical character, yet it is among Massachusetts philanthropists that Johu Rrown's soul does most ofirs marching. Disembodied, it is their dupe, as it 'was when tabernacling in the flesh. They taught it the morality of high treason and murder. It was a witless soul, though it may have been an honest one, that could be impressed by such inculcation?. Witless and worthies t.s it was, having Mirved as iuspiratiou for "uion" party for the past tour years, common decency should lwV that party to provide his widow against want. The Times is an adept at shirking, responsibility. The case of Rrown'- w idow belongs less to Phillips aud his followers than to the republican party at large, whoso chief political capital' has been Rr iwn's execution and Phillips' fauaticisiu. Chieago Times. It is significant that the first battle ou the question of negro suffrage has gone igainst the African.
