BABY’S CHAIR.
Don’t put away the vacant chair
Forever from your sight,
It held yonr little one so fair,
Now robed in spotless white.
Though if may cause yonr heart a pain
. To see it standing there.
Your eyes will soon grow bright again
In watching baby’s chair.
Don’t put away the pretty shoes
That charmed yonr baby so;
The first wee pair yonr glad heart chose,
With such fond pride, yon know.
The baby kissed yon then and there,
And laughed with such delight;
You’ll leave them with the vacant chair
Your baby left last night.
Don’t pnt away the faded dress
Yon made with light, glad heart;
Though it may canse yon sore dibtress,
’Tis of your life a part.
He wore it till the angel’s hiss
Fell on his sleeping clay,
Then left it for the home of bliss,
Where none but pure ones stay.
Don’t put away the playthings all
Forever from yonr sight;
But leave them where they may recall
Hours treasured with delight.
The little soul that once was here
Is waiting for you there;
Then keep in mem’ry ever dear
lour baby’s vacant chair.

He Was Poor.
borers is remarkably strange, es
pecially when we consider what
beneficial results would grow out
of such a system.
In 1866, when we found the
country largely dependent on hired
labor, we advocated this system
and have been an advocate -of it
from then until now. While such
a system can not be put “in force
by legal process, yet in can be set
up by universal custom.
What we mean by this is that all
employers, of every class, require
those seeking employment at their
hands to present a written recom
mendation from former employers
as to their character and charac
teristics as laborers. Such a sys
tem would hurt no one, bnt in our
judgment, would benefit all. It
would go far towards protecting
employes agatnst worthless hire
lings and impostors, and commu
nities sometimes against murder
ers, rapists, thieves, snd otherwise
bad characters. It would tend to
rid the country of drones, dead
heads,and idlers who eat and work
not, who live among the people,
and none can tell whence their
sustenance comes. Are there such
characters abroad in the laud?
Let the working, toiling people in
every community answer.
Such a recommendation system,
universally practiced and persist
ently adhered to by all who hire
labor, would nocomplish more in
building up iu this country a faith
ful class of wage-earners than any
other system that could be adopt
ed. As an evidence of this the
wages paid to laborers would soon
be graded by or according to the
recommendation presented by the
applicant for employment.
Under this system the most hon
est and faithfnl laborers would not
be forced, as they now are under
the present lax method in this par
ticular, to compete with the most
worthless and indifferent laborers.
In this way the wages paid would
be graded by or based upon the
proven honesty, the proven integ
rity and the proveu faithfulness of
the laborer, and therefore laborers
grading well on these points would
command the best wages, and vice
versa. In this way more than in
any other the good and faithful
laborers af the country would be
protected against the indifferent,
indolent and careless laborers, of
whom onr present methods have
produced too many.
This system could be applied to,
and would work equally well with
the tenant class of the country.
This question is one of vast im
portance, especially to the farmers
of the country who employ the
bulk of the hired laborers, and to
the landlords who have adopted
the tenant system.
It is certainly clear to all that
some system -needs to be devised
whereby hired labor in this sec
tion of the country can be made
more reliable.
We’ll write it down till everybody sees it
Till everybody is sick of seeing it,
Kll everybody knows it without seeing it;
that Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy
cnres'tbe worst cases of chronic ca
tarrh in the head, catarrhal head
ache, and cold in the head. In per
fect faith its makers, the World’s
Dispensary Medical Association of
Buffalo: N. Y., offer to pay §500 to
anyone suffering from chronic ca
tarrh in the head whom they can
not cure. Now if the conditions
were reversed—if they asked you
to pay §500 for a positive cure, you
might hesitate. Here are reputa
ble men, with years of honorable
dealing; thonsands of dollars and
a great name back of them, and
they say: “We can cureyou be
cause we’ve cared thonsands like
yon; if we esn’t we will pay yon
8500 for the knowledge that there
is one whom we cannot care.’
They believe in themselves. Is
it not worth a trial? Isn't any trial
preferable to catarrh?
The year 1892 bids fair to go on
record, observes the New Orleans
Picayune, as one remarkable for a
numerous and rapid succession of
physical convulsions. Storms and
floods, landslides and other violent
disturbances by the forces of na-
tnre have not only been expe
rienced witb great severity in all
parts of tne world, bnt they have
wrought enormous destruction of
property, and have cost many hu
man lives.
Senator Carlisle in an interview
a day or two ago in New York ex
pressed the opinion that the sontb
would scaud squarely by the dem
ocratic ticket notwithstanding the
talk about tbe strength of the Peo
ple’s party in some of the southern
states. He believei, and there
no reason to doubt he is right,
that the great majority of those
democrats who hsve been affiliat
ing with the People’s party recent
ly will vote the democratic nation
al ticket Before tbe election they
will see how impossible the de
mauds of the People’s party are,
and that by voting for Gen- Weav
er they will only be helping tbe
Republican party. If they shoald
defeat the Democratic party they
would injure their own interests;
because they would assist in keep
ing out of power the party that is
williug and auxious to assist them
in improving their material condi
tion, and will assist them in doing
so jast as soon it is given the pow
er.
There isn’t a People’s party man
in the south who was a democrat
who was not satisfied witb the ad<
ministration of Mr. Cleveland. It
was an {admirable administration,
and Mr. Cleveland, as Mr. Carlisle
says, was the fisrt and only Pres
ident since the civil war who fully
recognized the southern states as
equal members of the union, aud
he was the first and only one- who
ignored all sectional lines and all
sectional prejudices in appoint
ments to office and in the general
policy of the administration.”
This was worth a great deal to
the south, much more, in fact, than
those who have left the Democratic
party are willing to admit. In
their Hearts, however, they know
he was a good friend of the south,
and that he rendered tbe south a
service which the southern people
can never repay. Why, therefore,
they prefer a man like Gen. Weav
er—a man who has hated the
south and the southern people,
and who has not even improved
the opportunities he has had to
say a kind word for the south—is
one of the curions things for which
there is no reasonable explanation.
' It is donbtf.il if one third party
man in ten can give a reason that
satisfies even himself for] voting
for Gen. Weaver. It is true that
many of the .People’s party have
a vague sort of an idea that if
Gen. Weaver could be elected
President he would somehow or
other put money in their pockets
without any special effort on their
part to get it. bnt those of them
who think for themselves must
know thst he could not do any
snch thing.§
The Morning News believes
witb Senator Carlisle that tbe
soath is safe for the democracy.
Thousands who are now wavering
between the Democratic party and
the People’s party will find as tbe
election draws near theia love for
the grand old Dpm ocralic party
too strong for them to feave that
party. Bat without them tbe De
mocracy is strong enough to hold
the south solid.

'Just before Robert L. Garner
sailed for Europe on his way to
Africa, the land of the gorillas and
chimpanzees, to stady the lan
guage which he says the monkeys
speak, he said to me,” relates a
staff editor of tbe New York.Press,
•‘that he shoald not return to this
country until he had secured suf-
ficent phonographic records of the
speech of these two great types of
monkey life to be able to settle
definitely tbe subject of monkey
langaage. He bas so far, in twelve
years’ study, been able to repro-
dace three sounds in the monkey
langaage which were intelligble to
monkeys. They were soands ex
prestive of a desire for food, for
drink and of terror. At this rate
of progress, if he stays in the
wilds of Africa until the entire
monkey langaage becomes his pos

use.
Teach her the important truism:
That the more she lives within
her iucome the more she will save,
and the farther sfiie will get awdy
from the poor-house.”
Teach her that a good, steady,
urchgoing mechanic, farmer,
clerk or teacher, without a cent, is -
worth more than forty loafers or
non-prodneers in broadcloth.
Teach her to embrace every op
portunity for reading, and to se
lect such books as will give her
the most useful and practical infor
mation, in order to make the best
progress in earlier as will later
home and school life.
