§* §- ftp-Hton. They were Poor Boys. An exchange recalls the following historical facts, which should tncour age every young man struggling under discouragement and povority: John Adams, second President, was the son of a farmer of very moderate means. The only start he had was his education. Andrew Jackson was born in a log hut in North Carolina, and was raised in the piny woods, for which that State is so famous. James K. Polk spent the earlier years of his life helping to dig a living out of anew farm in North Carolina. He was afterwards a clerk in a country store. Millard Filmore was the son of a New York farmer, and his house was a very humble one. He learned the business of clothier. James Buchanan was born in a small town among the Alleghany mountains. His father cut the logs and built bis own house, in what was then a wilder ness. Abraham Lincoln was the sou of a very poor Kentucky farmer, and lived in a log cabin until he was twenty-one years of age. Andrew Johnson was apprenticed to a tailor at the ago of ten years by his widowed mother. He was never able to attend school, and picked up all the education he ever got. The list is very good as far as it goes, but it can be extended almost in definitely. Captain Kidd, whose reputation as a pirate is second to none, was a poor boy. His parents were in such bumble circumstances that he was obliged to steal from perfect strangers the money with which to buy dime novels, and yet see what he accomplished! Jesse James, who might be Govern or of Missouri but for his untimely de cease, was a poor hoy. He was so poor that he had to borrow the pistol with which to shoot an obnoxious school teacher who gave him impudence. Benedict Arnold was the son of very poor parents, and yet his name will go down into history, not along side pre cisely, hut just below those of Wash ington, Jefferson, and the rest of them. Dorsey had a hard struggle in early life, but by perseverance, and having reduced plunder to a system, he has acquired so much wealth that lie can set the United States at defiance. As he is a comparatively young man, he may yet be President. Jay Gould used to shine his own boots, but now he takes the shine off all the other millionaires. When he was a boy, Boss Tweed was almost as poor as a Greenback speech. Nero used to peddle peanuts and sell “Sketches from Texas Sifting” in the cars. Oliver Cromwell had to borrow his brother’s pants when he, Oliver, went to halls and parties. Governor Roberts used to go bare footed in summer time when he was a boy. We might go on and cite any num ber of men who have climbed the lad der of fame, whose pants needed repairs when they began to climb at the lower round of the ladder. There is no trouble in being poor. Almost anybody can be poor, particularly if they have some assistance from their parents in early life.— Texas Siftings. Kiss Me Good Bye, Dear. Detroit Free Press. This is the phrase heard in the hall way of many a home as the man of the house is hurrying away to exchange daily labor for daily bread in the mart of commerce. Sometimes it is the wife who says it, sometimes infant lips prat tle the caressing word, holding up a sweet flower face, for the kiss that is its warm sunshine of life, and the strong man waits a moment to clasp his treas ures and is gone; and all day he won dered at the peace in his heart, and the nerve with which he met business cross es. The wife’s kiss did it, the baby’s kiss did it, and he realized that it is not wealth or position or luck that makes our happiness, but the influence we bear within us from the presence of those we love. Kiss me good-bye! Oh, lips that have said it for the last time, would you ever ask again in those pleading tones for the kiss so tardily given? Would we not remember that the re lation the flower bears to the universe is as carefully provided for as that of the brighest star; that the little action of a loving heart goes side by Bide with the heroic worth; that love is the dew of life; that the parting for a day may be the parting for a lifesime. “How many go forth in the morning. That ne ter come home at night? And hearts that have broken For kind words spoken That sorrow can ne’er set light.” Make the air vocal with kisses! Many tears have been shed over kissed kisses—over those “dear as remember ed kisses after death,” but the time to kiss is the present. Kiss you children men of business, before you leave home; kiss the old mother who sits in the chair by the window—no matter if hei cheek is wrinkled her hearf is young— and then go about your day’s work with a “thank God” in your soul that yon have someone home to kiss. “For though in quiet evening And gave us the kiss of peace, Tet it might he That never for thee Tlie pain of heart should cease.” Mb.

By reason of her peculiar relations, and her peculiar ailments, woman has been com pelled to suffer, not only her own ills, but those arising from the want of knowledge, or of consideration on the part, of those with whom she stands connected in the social organization. The frequent and distressing irregularities peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated to a degree which no lan guage can express. In the mansions of the rich and the hovel of the poor alike, woman has been the patient victim of ills unknown to m. i) and which none but she could en dure—and without a remedy.
