Every present holds a future in it
r Could we read its bosom secret right,
Could we see the golden due and win it,
Lay our hand to work with heart and
might.
s*
True it is, we shall not live in story,
But we may be waves within a tide,
Help the human tlood to wear the glory
That shall shine when we have toiled and
died.
though few praise, or help, or
heed us,
Let us work with head or heart or hand;
For we know the future ages need us,
We must help our time to take its stand;
That the after day may make beginning
Where our present labor hath its end ;
Bo each ace, by that before it winning,
To the following help in time shall lend.
Each single struggle hath its far vibration,
Working results that work results again;’
Failand death are no annihilation;
Our tears, absolved, will make some fu
ture rain.
Let us toil on: the work we leave behind us,
Though incomplete, God's hand will yet
embalm,
And use it some way ; and the news will
find us
In heaven above, and sweeter, endless
calm. [Buskin.
Tltt* Man Who liateii Millard
Fillmore.
Tie was a Feoencl-class tramp His
clothes were ragged and dirty, and over
all be wore an old dilapidated ulster
that looked as though it had been Ujed
as a horse blanket for the past two
years. His hat was battered and
er-beaten, and from the well-ven
tilated crown there pr jeotcd a tuft of
briek'fcoloreU hair, which gave me aged
traveler the appearance of n *ntn\ -t
■ed Choctaw on the war-path.
lie walked iuto a Fourth avenue
saloon, borrowed a chew ot tobacco
frvejthe first man he encountered, and
then taking a seat by the stove he
spread himself out and glanced around
as coolly and contentedly as if he own
ed tha place and the whole universe
thrown in. It was a sight to see him.
He tipped back in the chair, put his
feet upon the stove-rail, and squirted
juice of tobacco first on one side and
theD on the other, as though there
wasn’t a spittoon within a thousand
miles of him. Everybody present sup
posed ho was a bank president or a
member of the legislature in disguise,
so they passed over his little eccentri
cities without remark. As the owner
a f the saloon was too busy to notice
him, be lay back in his arm chair and
epat and enjoyed himself amazingly.—
Presently the eyes of the tramp fell on
, the picture of an old gentleman in
cocked hat and white choker, which
hung up near the bar. He gazed at it
intently for a minute or so, and then
rising, ho walked deliberately across
the room and spat a pint of tobacco
juice right in the left eye of the white
chokered old gent, forever ruining the
picture. About this time the attention
of the proprietor of the rancho was
drawn to his decidedly free and easy
visitor. For a moment be was fairly
convulsed with rage. He clenched his
fist and danced an Indian war-dance
behind the bar, but was unable to
speak. As soon as he was able to con
trol his voice, he pointed to the spoiled
picture and shouted in tones ot anger :
“You double d—d, infernal, leather
headed maniao, what did you do that
for?”
"Oh. that’s all right,” calmly replied
the tramp. "You needn’t go to climb
ing on your car about it. Millard I ill
more was a mean old traitor, and I am
going to .spit on his picture every
chance I get.”
"You confounded jibbering idiot !
yelled the proprietor, "that ain’t Fill
more nor any of his relatives. That is
a picture of my grandfather, and l
want you to understand that lie didu t
look any more like Millard Fillmore
than I look like King Solomon.”
‘‘All right, 1 apologize,” said the
spittist, edging toward the door. ‘My
eyesight nin tso good as it used to be,
and I may have .made a mistake, but 1
hope never to do another day s work in
my life if it don’t look like Millard
Fillmore did the last time I saw him.
The tramp gradually decreased the
distance between himself and the door,
as if he was ar.xious to end the inter* |
view, But he was not destined to es I
cape so easily. Before he reached the j
exit the still infuriated saloon keeper
rushed from behind the counter and
kicked him out, and cussed him in
compound cuss words.
“Never mind,” said the tramp, “I’ll
come and spit on your epitaph if I
have to walk 4GO miles.” And with
this threat he departed.

The Boy W Iso Advised.
The architect who plans high front
steps to a house, is in league with cer
tain boys who have a “large and assort
ed stock” of meanness Lorn in their
natures. Proof of this can be found
any day in the week in' Detrcit, and
the latest was gathered in no later
than Saturday afternoon. Avery nice
young man, dressed in the nobbiest
style, and sporting a cane which never
cost less than a dollar, walked up the
high front steps of a Jefferson-avenue
mansion and pulled the bell. It was
plain enough even to the driver of a
street-car that the young man h-.J an
affection for somebody in that house,
and that he was about to meet his
charmer. But it wasn’t so plain to a
stub-nosed boy who was drawing a pic
ture of an Indian warrior on the flag
; stones with a piece of indigo. He
looked up, quit his work, and, loafing
along to the gate, he called out :
‘Them air folks don’t want any pa
tent tooth-paste to day !’
The nobby young man gave a suds
den start ofsurprise, but he instantly
realized the vastness of the gulf separat
ing him and that street boy, and he
did not reply.
‘Our folks don’t wan’t any clothes
wringers to-day, and yon want to hear
me 1’ called the boy.
The young man heard him. Several
pedestrians also heard him, and as they
!. ’.c ’up tho young man wondered
why no one answered the bell.
‘lni telling you fellow up there,’ said
the boy, “that we don’t keep no board
ing house here ! If you want cheap
board you must go around the corner,
aud three blocks straight on ! Do you
propose to pay in advance ?’
As no one came to the door the
young man pulled the bell again. *
‘l’m telling you that you can’t pass
yourself off on us as a grasshopper suf.
ferer!’ shouted the boy.’ ‘lf you want
some cold vittles go around to the side
gate !’
Four pedestrians had halted on the
other side of the street, and the young
man looked down on the boy and softly
said :
‘Boy. can you catch ten cents
‘We don’t sign no petishuns here for
a national monu i.< nt to the inventor of
the dishpan !’ replied the boy. ‘What
I’m talking to you is that yon want to
go around to the cook’s door !’
The young man wished a wish con
taining 413 grains fine that the builder
of those high steps had been dead for
forty years, but the door didn’t ope.u.
and the boy hung right to him, calling
out :
‘Hain’t I been telling you that you
can’t go; in there? You may be the
private watchman on this block, but
you can’t go round pulling front door
bells and putting on airs! If I have
to argy much longer I’ll call the po
lice !’
‘l’ve got a half-dollar here, boy !’
said the young man, as ho turned
around.
‘Let’s gee how it looks !’ softly re
plied the iad.
But the half-dollar was at home. —
The young man searched for it in vain,
and the dieg-usted boy turned to the
men across the street and called out:
Isn’t it agin the law for a fellow to
be taking a beeswax impression of a
front-door lock in the daytime ?’
They started to come over, and the
young man hurried down the steps and
up the street. lie gave the boy just
one look. It was a look in which rail
road collisions and steamboat*blow ups
wore equally mixed, and then frosted
with a Bogardus-kicker.
‘0! ye kin wink at me and try to
buy me off!’ growled the boy, but these
priociples of honesty were painted all
over me when I was a baby, and they
can’t be rubbed out or bought up for
wealth !’
Just thGa a young lady threw open
the door and smiled and bowed and got
as fur as : ‘Why, Fwed !’ when she dis
covered he wasn’t there. The footman

was out and she had waited to l fix up,’
and ‘Fwcd’ had gone. She backed in
and shut the door, and the tnsan boy
got down to finish his Indian, mutter
ing :
‘lf he couldn’t raise fifty cents to re
ward me. how’d he ever manage to git
that gal one o’ them corsets with a
hundred and ninety bones in it?’ —De-

A Warning In liirla.
A little girl in Washington City
died on last Friday night from over
exertion in jumping the rope. She
had *‘kept up” eighty times; that
night she died. Jumping the rope
is a harmless amusement for little
girls, if not carried too far, but it
is always liable to the danger of
over-exertion, for an emulation or
rivalry is aroused and the thought
less little folk cry to tire each oth
er down: and though it is very
rare that this imprudence termi
nates so sadly as in the case of
Nettie Williams on last Friday,
still there is no doubt'that serious
injuries sometimes result, A ryth
mic jolting up and down is the se
verest strain that can be brought
to bear on anything. Ice that will
bear twenty boys who stand still
may be broken by one who springs
up and down in rythmic and meas
ured time. The trotting of a sin
gle horse across a bridge is a se
verer strain than ten times the
dead weight of the horse and wagon.
It is because rythmic motion
strikes a series of blows. It
must be remembered that some of
the internal organs are suspended
in their positions by very delicate
| and fragile membranes. Sudden
i and violent jolts or shocks some
j times tear these membranes with
most deplorable consequences.—
But a regularly recurring vertical
motion like skipping the rope may
bring upon them a strain as severe
as a very violent single shock or
strain. The effect may not at once
be apparent, but the child may
never have its health again. We
should be sorry to think however
that the natural romps aud games
of litttle girls could be attended
with danger. Animal spirits and
the love of running and leaping
were ; given to insure that they
might be induced to take sufficient
exercise to secure physical devel
opment. The prettiest sight in all
j iiio world is a group of little girls
at play. But great care should
he taken that their games should
be healthful in their motions.
After doing his office for a young
couple, a clergyman was inveigled into
proposing the health of tho bride and
bridegroom at the wedding breakfast.
He wound up a neat little speech by
expressing the hop that the result ol
the union of the happy pair might
prove strictly analogous to that of the
bride’s honored parents. The groom
looked angry, the bride wont into hys
terics, the bridesmaid bluahed and be
came interested in the pattern of the
carpet, the master of the house blew
his . nose with extraordinary violence,
and the speaker sat down wondering at
the effect he had created ; till his bet
ter-informed neighbor whispered that
tho lady was not the daughter of the
host and hostess, but a nieee who came
to live with them when her mother and
father were divorced.
“Why don’t you buy a power press,-
Cook ?” inquire several enthusiastic
Democrats, as we take our locked up
pages of type through the streets oa a
wheelbarrow to a steam printing press,
owned by a rich printing firm. Why
don’t we buy the Boardman House,
Woodbury Block and the public square?
Why don’t we raise h—l on lour dol
lars and a half? It is easy to do aIL
these things provided you have the col
laterals, but at the present writing we
confess wo have not eoough money to
buy a cheese press. Printing Demo
cratic newspapers in lowa is like ped
dling peanuts in a graveyard.—[Mar

Meis’s Love uiul SeSt-Uove.
Girls aro sometimes admonished
not to flirt, because, however pleas
ant it might be to them, it might
break the hearts cf those with
whom they flirt. Nonsense.—
We have heard of victims of blight
ed affection, but never yet came
across one. Tima in this sort of
matters, works wonders. We doubt
whether any man ever yet died of
a broken heart. Men are more
vain than women. Thero are
exceedingly few of them who
aro not flattered by the idea
of some woman falling in love with
them. The lady for the moment
affords them this gratification of
self love. Sl\e makes herself as
agreeable as she can. If the van-
O
ity of the man leads him to believe
that she lias fallen a victim to his
charms, that is his fault, not hers.
The illusion has raised him to the
seventh heaven for a brief period,
and if the period be short he has
been the gainer. In on? of De
Bernard’s novels ho describes an
old captain who lives supremely
hanpy because he fancies that,
rears ago some girl died of
a broken heart because ho had de
clined to marry her He carries
about her portrait, and on all occa
sions takes it[ out and weeps over
it. One day, however, be meets
the girl, who bad not died, but had
married >* grocer, and forgot all
about the captain. He is in des
pair. He can no longer indulge
in the luxury of grieving over the
sad fate of the object of his youth
ful affections. Flirt on, young
ladies, and do not amagine that the
amusement will break the heart of
any one. It may vani
ty quite likely, and where this is
the only quality the man has, the
blow may stagger him. But it
will do him good—show him his
real selfishness. So flirt on, young
ladies, but at the same time temper
the blow to the tenderness of the
youth who is to receive it.—Bow

Lady’s Booh.
The Lady’s Book is so well known in
ail sections of the country, and so firmly
established in the public regard, that iu is
suing a prospectus we scarcely need repeat
its varied claims to favor. Its literary
merit is everywhere acknowledged, and
t He editors have fully demonstrated tho
fact that a Magazine may j*Huiu the highest
point of interest, and yet be strictly pure in
every page The marked success which
has attended its publication from the be
ginning, shows how fully it lihs met the
public want. *
IIOW to make up Clubs- First send for a
specimen copy, which will be sent free on
application. Take the Magazine among
your friends and show it to t hem, and gel
as many names ns possible to your list.
Then divide the cost. For instance ; you
get eight, names, and each one pays at the
rate of about §2 38 (making say SIR 00 for
nine copies,) you will get a copy free for
your trouble. Or you can divide the amount
among the nine names, which brings the
cost to $2 11 each, thereby getting a Three
Hollar Magazine for the sum of Two Dol
lars and Eleven cents. Every lady can raise
a club if sho will only try. Look what
the Lady's Book gives for this small sum
ot money. Among the many improvements
