BABY’S FIRST PRAYER.**
Picture World.
Little fat fingers .crossed meekly,
Mimicking patient mama;
Gracie looks up to our Father;
Charmingly lisping “Tail, tah.”
This is the whole of her worship;
Yet He who promised to bear
Wee little lambs on His bosom
Listens to baby’s first prayer.
Sweet little picture of heaven!
Well did.the Good Master say,
“They must be like little children
Who would Hy Father obey.”
Baby knows'nothing of doubting,
Dark unbelief and despair;
All these she leaves to grown people,
Baby knows only hdr prayer.
So let it be, gracious Father,
And through her life’s blessed day;
When clouds and darkness oppress her,
Teach her. great Teacher, to pray.
Tenderly lead and protect her,
Draw her with Fatherly love,
Make her both perfect and holy,
Fit for the mansions above.

■“Katty, what are you thinking'
of?” said Mr. Dilkes, brusquely.
“Fire all out! Lamp not lighted!’
He had come in from the barn
yard with two foaming pails of
milk aud a liberal powdering of
snow on his fur cap and heavy
beard, aud as he set the pails down
on the buttery table, Kathleen
sprang up and lighted the squatty
kerosene lamp, and raked the
broken logs together, so that a viv
id blaze rushed up the old chim
ney throat.
Have you got the butter all
printed, and the poultry packed,
aud the eggs laid down?” said he,
“1 shall have to make an early
start to-morrow morning, and there
is every prospect of a snow bliz
zard.”.
“It’s all ready,” said Kathleen,
sombrely'.
Mr. Dilkes turned short around
and looked at her.
“Eh? What’s tiiematter?” said
he.
“They’re not going to invite me
to the party at Griggett’s!” the
girl answered.
“They ain’t, eh? Why not? I
guess you’re as good lookin’ as any
of 'em, and as good, too!”
“I couldn’t help overhearing
Molly Griggett and Josie Kirke
talking about it when I went after
the mail to-night,” said Kathleen.
“They had just got their letters,
and I was waiting for a chance to
get near the mail window-, and
there was a pile of drygoods boxes
between me and them. Molly said
why wasn’t I asked? and Josie said
because I never returned ■ any of
the neighborhood parties. It was
all take, she said, with Kathleen
Dilkes, and no give. And it was
quite true, uncle.”
Mr. Dilkes moved uneasily m his
chair.
“We aiu’t party givin’ folks,”
said be.
Then I oughtn’t to go to par
ties,” retorted Kathleen. “Aud I
don’t see that I shall any more.
Nobody will ask me.”
“Well, I wouldn’t mind,” sooth
ed. Mr. Dilkes. “It’s all folly and
nonsense, anyhow.”
Kathleen’s lovely bine eyes flash
ed.
‘I don’t think it’s folly and non
sense,” she said. “1 want to go.
All the young people but me are
going; and I’m tired of drudging
and working the whole time with
out a bit of fun.”
Mr. Dilkes was silent. He tip
ped his feet against an uneven
brick in the hearth and stared at
the fire.
Kathleen came closer to him.
“Uncle,” said she, “can’t I have
a Twelfth-Night party?”
Nonsense!” growled the old
man.
It wouldn’t cost much!” plead
ed the Kathleen. “I’d make all
the cake myself, and I’ve saved
enough out of my share of the
chicken money to buy sugar and
lemons. And my dress needn’t
cost anything. I could trim over
my white bunting with a little new
ribbon. May 1 have a Twelfth*
Night party, uncle?” .
Mr. Dilkes rose- suddenly to his
feet.- -
“No,” said hef “yon can’t! and
there’s an end of itl”
Kathleen said no more. She was
used to her uncle’s moods, and
fcuew that there was no use in
striving against them.
Buf half that wile}, stormy win
ter night she sobbed silently on
her pillow, and rebelled against
fate.

And to her faithful bosom
confided all her troubles.
It was so nice to have some one
to talk to, .
“But this won’t do,” said Miss
Dorothy Purple, viewing the well-
shod toes of her pretty feet as she
warmed them fit the fire. “You
can’t be shut up here like a lark in
its cage. You must go out like
other people. I don’t wonder they
have left off asking yon. You
must give little companies, too.
Otherwise you’ll be left likeune—
old maid.” And Miss Purple’s
bright black eyes sparkled merrily.
“I’ll talk to your uncle about it
whence gets home,” said she.
“It won’t be any use!” sighed
Kathleen.
At noon, however, the depot boy
came plunging through the drifts
with a telegram.
Mr. Dilkes had heard from his
brother in Pennsylvania, who had
had some sort of accident. He
had decided to go directly to him
for a few days.
Katty,” said Miss Dorothy Pur
ple, waving a very pretty pocket
handkerchief above her head, “this
is providential interposition.”
“What?” cried Kathleen.
“We’ll have the Twelfth-Night
party now,” said Miss Purple.
‘Write your invitations at once.
Send ’em by the depot boy. Don’t
you see there’s no time to be lost?
I’ll help you with the cake and
coffee, aud I know a grand receipt
for ice-cream.”
“Ice-cream 1 ’ gasped Kathleen.
“Why not?” said Miss Purple,
with a bird-like tip of her head.
“There’s plenty of ice and snow
outside, and plenty of cream in
your milk-room. We can have
kieses and mottoes, too. I know
how to make ’em; aud I shall want
a lot of spruce and hemlock boughs
to decorate the rooms!”
“I can git’em for ye!” said the
depot boy, displaying teeth enough
for an ocelot.
And as so’on as Kathleen had
caught her breath, the proceedings
began in good earnest.
“What will Uncle Dilkes say?”
cried Kathleen, as they stood ready
ou Twelfth-Night, all dressed, with
the sapper table spread in the big
kitchen, temporarily transformed
into a bower of evergreens, and
the big parlor denuded of its car
pet and bedecked with wreaths of
princess pine and clusters of scar
let hollyberries, while “Black Jack
Blackman,” with his fiddle, and lit
tle Billy Nickham, with his claro-
net, sat waiting for the arrival of
the first guest.
“Oh, I don’t care what he says!”
said Miss Dorothy, audaciously,
You don’t happen to know, do
you child, that twenty years ago,
before you had opened those big
blue eyes of yours on the wicked
ness of this world, he used to be a
beau of mine?”
“a—beau of .yours! Uncle
Dilkes! Why .didn’t he marry
you?” questioned Kathleen.
“He didn’t quite ask me,” Katty.
“You see in those days, before my
blessed father went into Mexican
silver mine speculations,. I was
Miss Purple, of Purple Hall,, and
he was a poor young farmer. He
didn’t like to be thought a fortune

have changed. I’m poorer; he is
richer; and we are both wiser; I
only tell the story to prove to you
that I’m not in any- way afraid of
Harmon Dilkes. There comes a
sleigh full of people.”
The Twelfth-Night party was a bril
liant success. The ice-cream was a sur
prise; the snow-mountain of cake devel
oped a series of the most astonishing ef
fects; the mottoes made no end of fur,
and the dancing held out until midnight

Kathleen looked on astonished. Black
Jack nearly dropped his fiddle bow. But
the old man was fleetest and nimblest of
the lot, and when at last the music stop
ped, he turned ip front of the big fire
place and faced them all.
‘Friends,’ he cried breathlessly, ‘I’m
glad to see you every one, and I hope
this is only the beginning of a lot of good
times! Don’t go yet. Cre got something
to tell you. I’m going to be married to

‘If that.s the case,’ said Young Manly,

front, ‘I’d like to give notice that Kath

‘And I’ve come to terms with Jose

‘Well, Katty,’ said Miss Purple, when
the last chime of sleighbclls had gone
joyously away from the door, ‘your uncle

‘Scold!’ beamed the old man. ‘I am

there ain’t no young chap in a radius of

Dorothy came with promptitude and
snugged up to his buftemut-colored left
side with eyes full of happy langhter.
‘But there’s one thing you’re going to
be disappointed about, Harmon,’ said
she.

inveigh against the Democratic
party, but let me ask, what harm
has that party ever done them?
Every intelligent person will ad
mit that the Republican party has
doneMhem much barm and has at
tempted still greater harm. Ev
ery candid maa will admit also
that the Democratic party has
done him no harm, «but, on the
contrary, has done much good in
repairing the evils of - reconstruc
tion, in assuring the dominance of
the Anlo-Saxon race, in leducing
the expenses of government,
subordinating military to civil
law, in reducing taxation by their
persistent opposition to its
crease, in restoring everywhere an
orderly and tranquil civil adminis
tration, and in preventing the in
calculable dangers of two attempt
ed force bills. These achievements
ought to commend the Democratic
party to. the earnest support of ev
ery Southern man. But it has at
tempted many more great things,
and only failed in accomplishing
them for want of power. Nowell-
informed and candid man will de
ny that the Democratic party has
always adhered to just principles
and to an honest and equitable ad
ministration of the government. It
cannot rescue people from the
evils which they bring upon theifi-
selves; not eyen the third party
can do that. But it has dealt with
all, so far as it had the power, up
on the principles of even-handed
justice.”
These are the sentiments of a
man loyal to Georgia, true to the
best interests of her people, and
devoted to the old party that lias
served her so well in the past, and
which promises her so much for
the future.
No fairminded man can read
this conservative, yet courageous
presentation of the dangers to be
encountered by forming now polit

without being couvineed that there
is nothing but folly in the move
and disaster in its prosecution.
The trouble with this large dis
contented element is, that they

huge combinations of capital to
defeat competition.
For several years the tendency
in the business and industrial
world has been toward combina
tions. Perhaps this tendency was
natural and inevitable at the time
it began to be manifested. In some
departments of industry competi
tion had been carrihd to an unwise
excess, for even- competition has
its evils, when not restrained by
the penalties that fall on the indi
vidual when he permits his desire
to overcome his rivals to make him
• reckless in_ihe- conduct of his
affairs.
But it is beginning to be seen
that responsibility of another kind
rests on those who, at the head of
corporations, combine to crush out
the weak aud defeat the competi
tion which is “the life of tradl.”
The president and board of direc
tors of one of these corporations
do not feel the responsibility which
would rest with great restraining
weight on a single man if he stood
in their place and owned the prop
erty which they only represent.
All the consequences of misman
agement would fall on him alone.
Among them,the responsibility for
mistakes is scattered, and the loss
falls on the thousands of stock-
holders. It may even happen that
when the stockholders lose, the of
ficials of the corporation will gain.
Under such circumstances, when
the natural restraints upon compe
tition are absent, it is evident that
competition is.apt to run riot, and
that the most natural thing for
corporations suffering from it is,
not to modify it, for that is hardly
possible, but to get rid of it en
tirely. Hence, the tendency of
which we have spoken.
But it is beginning to be seen
that any business policy which
builds up among the people a pow
erful and embittered opposition
must, in the end, prove nnwise’aud
unprofitable. A combination of
voters is setup against the combi
nation of capital, and the voters
are the stronger. The voters may
not be able to establish the exact
order of affairs!hey desire, but in
their efforts to escape oppression
they will destroy the value of
much of the capital invested if
they do. not render it entirely un
productive.
For this misfortune the men
who combined to defeat competi
tion in business will be responsi
ble, and far more—they will .^jave
developed among the people a
class feeling that will dominate
politics and bring upon the coun

are possi
ble to make the idle, the thriftless,
01 the extravagant, prosperous.
No enactment of congress, or other
political body, can provide against
the contingencies of bad seasons,
short crops, low prices and over
stocked markets. It is not in the
power of the government to con
trol the elements, regulate produc
tions, and adjust and diversify la
bor within its jurisdiction so that
just so much of any one thing and
of everything shall be produced
just as needed. All that any gov
ernment can rightfully cfo is to
-protect each-of its citizens in the
full enjoyment of his own proper
ty and earnings. Any government
which does more is guilty of usur
pation and oppression. Auy gov
ernment which does less forfeits
its right to existence.
The government cannot create
property, nor equally 'distribute
the earnings of all its people, nor
prevent the rich from becoming
richer. It can put restraint on
stsength and rapacity and keep
them within bounds. It can throw
its protecting arm around the weak
and the oppressed and help them
that help themselves. If it goes
but a step beyond this it enters np-
od the road to despotism.
And this is what our govern
ment, in theory one of very limit
ed powers, has done, is doing, and
will continue to do. It is fostering
some industries, necessarily at the
expense of all others. It is build
ing up some classes, and necessa
rily pulling others down. It is
making some men rich, and neces
sarily making many men poorer.
It cannot give to one without tak
ing from another?and that is rob
bery.

An Argument Against Drinking.
The honest advocates of free sil
ver coinage can readily#est the
sincerity of their friends and at
the same time strengthen their
cause by contending for silver dol
lars intrinsically worth 100 cents.
The entire democratic party would
come to their support. The west-
ern mine owner would raise a row,
and the speculator who has gone
“long” on silver in the expectation
that be would realize 30 and 35
cents on what had cost them 7u
and 65 cents would set up a howl.
It has not been by these men the
love of silver which has made them
such ardent advocates of free coin
age, but for the greedy anticipa
tion of a 50 perceLt. profit that
has actuated them to lift up their
voices.—Marietta Journal.
