THE ALARM. “Burglars!” cried Mr. Jones. “Burglars!” screamed Mrs. Jones. “Burglars!” screamed the Misses Jones. “Burglars!” screamed Mas ter Jones, as one after the other lights flashed in the upper rooms and hastily draped forms appeared at the bedroom doors like the signal figures of a barometer. Jones and son, following each oth er down stairs, one with a poker and the other with a croquet-mallet, found the street door open, saw a silk umbrella and two hats vanish ing around the corner, and yelled “police!” but only the echoes an swered ; and, after a careful search of the house and some lamentations over the hats and umbrella, the Jones family returned to their pil lows, though each one declared next morning that he or she had not closed an eye. “And the worst of it is,” said Mrs. Jones, “they’ll be here again. When burglars determine to enter a houa# they always do It.” “I know a fellow who has a splen did dog that he’ll sell,” said Master Jones. “The fiercest fellow; bite a piece out of you as soon as look at you. I’ll get him if you like, and we can turn him into the hall nights.” “Thank you,” said Mrs. Jones. “I’d as soon have my throat cut by burglars as be torn to pieces by a savage dog.” “But he’d know us all in a few days,” said young Jones. “Pa, don’t you think it’s the best plan!—the biggest fellow; you ought to hear him howl.” “A dog is impossible in a city house with only four feet of garden ground,” said Mr. Jones, “butI’ll buy an alarm and a pistol, and keep it loaded under my pillow.” “Then I shall sleep elsewhere,” said Mrs. Jones. “No, I’ll sit up all night every night until I die, before that shall be done.” “All women are idiots,” said Mr. Jones. “All men are crazy,” said Mrs. Jones. “But you shall have your way and shoot your family if you like. That always comes of having fire-arms about.” “Let them come in and murder us, then,” said Mr. Jones. “I suppose you object to the alarm, too.” But finally the alarm was decided upon and purchased and attached to all the doors and windows on the lower floor, and two days after this was done Mr. Jones, being obliged to leave home on business, congrat ulated himself upon his prompti tude of action. “With this alarm you are quite safe, my dear,” he said, as he took his departure. “The minute you hear it, open the windows and scream for the policemen.” Mr. Jones then stepped into the carriage, which, whirled him to the train, which conveyed him to a distant city. There he became very much occupied with certain im- iportant affairs, and when he had \been absent a month forgot all raibout the burglars, as well as all about the alarm. The letters from home did not ■mention it, and so it passed entirely from his memory; and, as at last he .found himself on his homeward way upon a night train, which he had taken quite unexpectedly—for 'he had written the day before that the should not be back for a week— ilt occurred to him that his arrival -would be a delightful surprise for the family. He had his latch-key with him, and he quite chuckled •over the thought of letting himself in and being found snug in bed next imorning. “Won’t there be a time!” said he to himself. “Ma’ll scream. The girls—I can hear ’em laugh. And Sam will pretend not to be astonish ed—ha, ha, ha!” So, with his portmanteau in his hand, Mr. Jones, having reached .home, ascended the steps of his domicile and deliberately but soft ly proceeded to open his front door. As he did so the alarm wassprung, a racket and jingle filled the house, :and simultaneously with that, Mrs. Jones, the Misses Jones, Master Jones, the cook, the chambermaid, and the waiter thrust their heads out of their respective windows and ■screamed “Police!” Almost as they did so two clubs struck the pavement ajid two giants In uniform seized Mr. Jones by the arms. “Ah, got you this time,” cried one of them. “We’ve been looking for you for some time, too.” “Let me go,” said Mr. Jones- “I live. here. It's a mistake.” “Yes, I’ve no ddubt it’s a mistake,” said the policeman. “Bat tell them—tell them; let me offer proof;” pleaded Mr. Jones. “They all know tne; tell them its Mr. Jones.” “He} says. IPs Mr. Jones,” cried the policeman to a nightcap and shawl at the windcw. “My husband is in Chicago,” said Mrs. Jones. Bat she peeped out nervously. However, she did not recognize her husband. Mr. Jones had left home in a tall hat and overcoat, bnt dur ing his absence he bad unfortunate ly purchased a traveling “ulster” that touched his heels, and a cap. He wore both, as was natural upon a midnight journey. “No, I never saw that object be fore,” said Mrs. Jones. “Do take him away.” “You’ll appear to morrow ?” said the policeman. “You’ll appear against him, ma’am 7” “Decidedly. I shall consider it my duty,” -said the lady, and shut the}window. Then Jones remonstrated with the policeman, and begged him to have Mr. Smith next door called, and was told to hold his tongue. Jones was not a mild man. In a few minutes his wrath boiled over; he attacked the policeman with his umbrella bravely and was totally defeated. He arrived at the sta tion-house with a black eye and a bruise on his forehead, and frothing at the mouth with rage, and was locked up after having been recog nized by several experts as “Tommy the Tapper,” a noted burglar, tor whose arrest a large reward was of fered. His valise was taken away from him, also his watch and pock et-book. He was shut np In a cell with an intoxicated tramp who had arrived at that stage of delirium tremens at which snakes are the fa vorite delusion, and who took poor Mr. Jones for one, or several of them, and insisted on treading on his head. In argument and single combat with this gentleman Mr. Jones pass ed the hours until morning, when he was taken from his highly per fumed sequestration and dragged through the bleak streets to a court of justice, where he attempted to explain matters once more, and was still explaining them without producing the slightest effect upon any one, when his wife and son ar rived. Even then the ulster, the cap, and the black eye deceived poor Mrs. Jones for a few moments, and, but for 8am, there is no knowing what might have become of the unhappy gentleman. However, Sam came to hl3 rescue, and the three went home together In a cab, Mrs. Jones moaning and wringing her hands all the way, and Mr. Jones threat ening to sue for a divorce. He forgave his wife at last, how ever, but he never forgave the alarm, which he demolished forth with. FLOY’S FAITH. BY FINNAN J. AER. “With fingers weary and worn,— with eyelids heavy and red,” sat a poor, sad-eyed girl, trying so hard to finish some sewing which she had promised to have completed by Christmas eve; and as the twilight shadows were already beginning to fall, she must work rapidly as her only light was that afforded by the few, fast fading ^mbers on the cheerless hearth, and the gaunt wolf, Hunger, stood very near ready to devour her three little sisters, sole legacy of a dead mother. Poor, tired Floy,—at last the fire was ex tinguished, and her task unfinished. In her despair she raised her eyes to that beautiful picture, “Rock of Ages,” which always meant so much to her, but now as the cold moonbeams fell across the clinging figure, it seemed a truer type of herself than ®ver before, and she fell upon hei knees and cried out in the *gony of her soul: “Oh blessed Jesus,—eternal Rock of Ages, I am trying to cling to thee, alth ough the waters of afflic tion have almost engolfed me. Send relief to these poor, little ones for thine own dear sake.” The Loring mansion was all aglow with light and the happy voices of children mingled with the sounds of music fell upon the frosty air of Christmas eve. Inscribed upon the arch in front of the magnificent tree were these sweet words, so old yet ever new: “Peace on earth, good will toward men.” A lovely girl, the idol of her wid owed father, and an angel in the eyes of her little brothers and sis ters, said in a low, gentle voice: “I do not think I ever fully un derstood the depth of tneaning con tained in those grand words until last Sunday; I am so glad our min ister used them for his text He showed ns so plainly how we could manifest our good will toward oth ers, especially In the joyous Christ mas tide; and papa, how glad I should be if Christ would use me as his humble instrument in answer ing the prayers of some of his deso late children—what is it James?” “Please, Miss Edna, I went to get your dress, bat I don’t think the girl had any light to finish it by. I looked in, and there was no fire, and some little childien were cry ing with cold and hanger, and the seamstress was kneeling down praying for help. I guess they are about to freeze and starve.” “There, my daughter,” said Mr. Loring, “I think God has given you an opportunity.” “Yes, and I shall take advantage of it Come, James, and do all I shall tell yon. Order a wagon filled with wood, and take also a good supply of clothing, blankets, and all kinds ot provisions, not forgetting a dressed turkey. Then carry all these and lay them before Floyjs door, and place this note where she cannot fall to see it when sbe opens the door. And that she may not fail to do the latter, knock jnst be fore you leave. Here is the note: Dear Child:—Always trust our Heavenly Father, for his treasury is. boundless, and his resources are in finite. LITTLE JIM NY’S RECITATION. His First aad Astonishing Effort at Entertaining a Company of his Elders. “I have not had as much time to prepare him as I could wish, but I hope you will be entertained by his first attempt,” said Hie superin tendent. “Now Jimmy come for ward and speak your piece.” The superintendent retires; enter Jimmy with two skips and a jump, which bring him disastrously near the edge of the platform, where he presents the appearance of a nonde script with a double set of legs and arms. His hair, which had been brushed back, has fallen over his face and obscures his vision. He announces in a shrill falsetto his piece: Thir Fross Spirt. Hegumshegumsthefrospirtgu m s - —gums—gums— Voice of the superintendent— “Yon may trace his footsteps now.” Jimmy resumed: Youmaytracehisfootstepsnow— snow- -snow. A whispered aside with the su perintendent, and Jimmy resumes: Onthenakedwoodsandthebiasted —blast— “Blasted what?” shrieks Jimmy, under his breath. Again he started on the right track: —Blastedfields Andthebrownhillswitheredbrow. Applause for Jimmy, who begins to speak up and call his sonl his own.

And the dark Norwegian—Nor- wegan—wegan. Jimmy stopped to listen for the voice of the snperintentent, but that that functionary was simply speech less. Jimmy saw a thousand lights and a million faces looking at him. Ah! an inspiration struuk him. There was but one thing he knew about Norwegians—there was one in his mother’s kitchen; he caught on: AndthedarkNorwegiangirlshave bowed Ashisfearfulbreathwentpast. Then the audience cheered so wildly that the management rang down the curtain, and everybody went hone and said it was a wopder ful performance for so yoniig a boy The SorriTing Safferer. Jim Curtis and Tom Morton, two New York dudes, while they were going home from the club, were talking about the lightening killing so many people in Pennsylvania, the other day. “Tve got a mortal dwead of light ening,” said Curtis. “Eva been stwuck by lightening ?” “Nevah, but my aunt was killed by a thunderbolt. It was dwead- ful.” “I expect so, bnt she didn’t suf- fah ranch, did she ?” “You cawn’t have any idea how dweadfnl it was. She hadn't made her will, yon see, and another fel lah got all the pwoperty.

Fellow Citizens: In the presence of this vast assemblage of my coun trymen, I am about to supplement and seal by the oath which I shall take the manifestation of the will of a great and free people. In the exercise of their power and the right of self-government, they have committed to one of their fellow- citizens a supreme and sacred trust and he herecoasecrates himself to their service. This impressive cere mony adds little to the solemn sense of responsibility with which I con template the duty I owe to all the people of the land. Nothing can relieve me from anxiety, lest by any act of mine, their interests may suffer, and nothing is needed to strengthen my resolution to engage every faculty and effort in the pro motion of their welfare. Amid the din of party strife, the people’s choice was made, but its attendant circumstances have demonstrated anew the strength and safety of a government by the people. DEMOCRACY, GUARANTEE OF GOOD GOVERNMENT. In each succeeding year it more- clearly appears that our democrat ic principles need no apology, and that in its fearless anil faithful application is to be fonnd the sur est guarantee of good government, bnt the best results in the opera tion of a government, wherein ev ery citizen has a share, largely de pend upon a proper limitation of purely partisan zeal and effort, and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged in the patriotism of the citizen. To-day the executive branch of the governmet is trans ferred to new keeping, but this is still the government of all the peo ple, and it should be none the less an object of their affectionate solic itude. At this hour, the animosi' ties of political strife, the bitterness of partisan defeat and the exulta tion of partisan triumph, should he supplanted by an ungrudging ac quiescence in the. poplar will, and a sober, conscientious concern for the general weal. SECTIONAL AMITY URGED" Moreover, if, from this, hour, we cheerfully and honestly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust, and determine, with manly confi dence in one another, to work out harmoniously the achievements of our national destiny, we shall de serve to realize all the benefits which our happy form of govern ment can bestow. On this auspici ous occasion we may well renew the pledge of our devotion to the constitution, which, launched by the founders of the Republic, and consecrated by their prayers and patriotic devotion, has for almost a ceutury borne the hopes and the aspirations of a great people through prosperity and peace, and through the shock of foreign conflcts and the perils of domestic strife and vicissitudes. By the Father of his Country oiir constitution was com mended for adoption, as “the result of a spirit of amity and mutual con cession.” In that same spirit it should be administered, in order to promote the lasting welfare of the country rnd to secure the full meas ure of its priceless benefits to us and to those who will succeed to thr blessings of our national life. The large variety of diverse and competing interests subject to fed eral control, persistently seeking the recognition of their claims, need give us no fear that “the greatest good to the great est nunaijsr” will fail to be accomplished, if in the halls of na tional legislation, that spirit of am ity and mutual concession shall prevail in whioh the constitution had its birth. If this involves" the surrender of the postponement of private interests, and the abandon ment of local advantages, compen sation will be found in the assur ance that thus the common interest subserved and the general welfare advanced. the state capitois and the n.itiona. eapitol, is yours. Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, under the same high sanction, though in a different sphere, exer cises a public trust. Nor is this all. Every citizen owes to the country a vigilant watch and a close scrutiny of its public servants, and a fair an> reasonable estimate of their fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the people’.- will impressed upon the whole framework of our civil policy, municipal, state and federal, and this is the price of our liberty and the inspiration of our faith in the republic. THE POLICY OF TAXATION AND DIS BURSEMENT. It is the duty of those serving the people in public place to closely limit the public expenditures to the actual needs of the government, economically administered, because this bouuds the right of the govern ment to exact tribute from th3 earnings of labor, or the property of the citizen, and because public ex travagance begets extravagance among the people. We should nev er be ashamed of the simplicity and prudential economies which are best suited to the operation of a re publican form of government, and most compatible with the mission of the American people. Those who are selected for limited time, to manage public affairs, are si ill of [ Man. the people, and may do much by I their example to encourage, consist-I Man that is born of a woman is ently with the dignity of their offl- | small potatoes and few in the hill, ciitl tunctions, that plain way of life jje r j se th up to-day and flourish- f reed man in their right- nr thiii privileges under the constitutioi ind its amendments. All discus sion as to their fitness for the [ lac iccorded to them as American chi zens is idle and unprofitable, ex •eptxs it suggests the necessity fm iheir improvement. The fact tin:: they are citizens • . dies them to all the ri.h's da? t» ;h it relation, and charges ;li -:n with all its duties, oh ligations and responsibilities. PUBLIC INDUSTRY REQUIRED. These topics, and the constant and ever varying wants of an active and enterprising popul ti >n may we!i receive the attention and the patri otic endeavors of all who make and execute the federal law. Our du ties are practical and call forindu - trious application. An intelligent perception of the claims of pubic of fice, and, above all, a firm determi nation by united action to secure to all the people of the land the full benefits of the best form of govern ment ever vouchsafed to man. RELIANCE IN PROVIDENCE And let us not trust to human ef fort alone, but humbly acknowled ging the power and goodness of Al mighty God, who presides over the destiny of nations, and who has at all tim°s been revered in our coun try’s history, let us invoke His aid and His blessing upon our labors. GUIDED BY THE CONSTITUTION. In the discharge of my official duties I shall endeavor to be guid ed by a just and unstrained consti tution, a careful observance of the distinction between the powers granted to the federal government and those reserved to the states, or to the people, and by a cautious appreciation of those functions, which by the constitution and laws, have been especially assigned to the executive branch of the govern ment. But he who takes the oath which, among their fellow-citizens, aids integrity and promotes thrift and prosperity. NEUTRALITY ABROAD, DEFENSE AT HOME. The genius of our institutions, tin- needs of our people in their home life, and the attention which is de manded for the settlement and Je velopment of the resources of oui vast territory, dictate the scrupu lous avoidance of any departure from that foreign policy amended by the history, the traditions anil the prosperity of our Republic. It is the policy ot independence, favored by our position and defended by our known love of justice and by our power. It is the policy of peace suitable to our interests. It is the policy of neutrality, rejecting any share in foreign broils and ambi tions upon other continents, and re pelling their intrusion here. It is the policy of Monroe and of Wash ington and of Jefferson. Peace commerece and honest friendship with all nations; entangling allian ces with none. OUR FINANCIAL POLICY. A due regared for the intersts and prosperity of all the people de mand that our finances shall be es tablished upon such a sound and sensible basis as shall secure the safety and confidence of business interests and make.the wages of la bor sure and steady; and that our system of revenue shall he so ajust- ed as to relieve the people from un necessary taxation having a due re gard to the interests ol capital in vested, and workingmen employed in American industries and pre venting the accumulation of a mir plus in the treasury to tempt® x- travagance and waste. THE PUCLIC DOMAIN. Care for the property of the na tion and for the need of future set tlers require that the public do main should be protected from pur loining schemes and unlawful occu pation. The conscience of the peo ple demand that the Indians within our boundaries shall be fairly and honestly treated as wards of govern ment and their education and civ ilization promoted with a view to their ultimate citizenship and that polygamy in the territories destruc tive of the family relation and of fensive to the moral sense of the civilized world shall be pressed The laws should be rigidly enforc ed which prohibit the immigration of a servile class to complete with American labor with no intention of acquiring citizenship and bring ing with them and retaining habits and customs repugnant to our civ ilization. REFORM IN ADMINISTRATION. The people demand reform in the administation of the government, and the application of business princpals to the public affairs. As a means to this end eivil service re form should be in good taith enforc ed. Our citizens have the right to protestion from the in competency of public employes who hold their places solely as a reward of partisan service, ‘and from the corrupting to-day to preserve, protect and de-1 influence of those who promise, and fend the constitution of the United i the V1C10U3 metho ^ s of w *° States, only assumes the solemn ob-1 ex P ect snch reward8 > and t} > 03e who ligation which every patriotic citi- worthily seek public employment zen, on the farm, in the workshop, in the busy marts of trade, and ev erywhere, should share with him. The constitution which prescribes his oath, my countrymen, is yours; the government yon have chosen him to administer for a time is yours; the suffrage which executes the will of freemen is yours; the laws and the entire scheme of onr civil rale, from the town meeting to have the right to insist that merit and competency shall be recog nized, instead of party subservien cy,or the surrender of honest politi cal belief. THE COLORED QUESTION. In the administration of a gov ernment pledged to do equal and exact justice to all men, there should be no pretext for anxiety touching the protection of the eth like a rag-weed, and to-morrow or the day after the undertaker has him in the ice-box. He goeth forth in the morning warbling like the lark, and is knock ed out in one round anil two sec onds. In the midst of life he is in debt, anil the tax collector pursueth him wherever he goeth. The banister of life is full of splin ters, and he slideth down it with considerable rapidity, He walketh forth in the bright sunlight to absorbozone, and ineet- eth the bank teller with a slight draft for .$357. He cometh home at eventide and meeteth the wheelbarrow^ in his path, and the wheelbarrow risetli up and smiteth him to the earth, and falleth upon him and runneth one of its legs into his ear. In the gentle springtime he put- teth on his summer clothes, and n blizzard striketh him far away from home, and filleth him with woe and rheumatism. He iayeth up riches in the bank, and the president speculateth in margins, and then goeth to Canada' for his health. In the autumn he putteth on his winter trousers, and a wasp that abideth in them filleth him full of intense excitement. He starteth down the cellar with an oleander, and goeth first hastily, and the oleander cometh after him andsitteth upon him. He sitteth up ail night to get the returns from Ohio, and in the end learneth that the other fellows have carried it. He buyeth a watch-dog, and when he cometh home late from the lodge the watch-dog treeth him and sit teth beneath him until rosy morn. He goeth to the horse trot and betteth his money on the brown mare, and the bay gelding with a blaze face winneth. He inarrieth a red-headed heiress with a wart on her no'-e, an.I (he next day her parental a nee-tor go eth under, with a fi-.v a great liabilities, and com to live with hi; beb-ved s — Puck.
