" Local government Is business not poll-

Americans have come to believe. Only the
fetchis of party name prevents a more
general acceptaton of the truth that the
affairs or I munIcIpalIty have no necessary
connection wIth the affairs of the nation
and state and that It Is mIsleading and mischievous -
chievous to divide the citizen-body In local
elections on the lnes of the two great par-
ties. A republican candidate for mayor Is
apt to be supported by most believers In
protection and centralization , whim a demo-
cratc nominee for county clerIc will receIve

Andrew Jackson In the dIstrIct. ThIs I be-

I carefully managed building associations
are of great utility. They are useful to the
shareholder who wIshes also 10 borrow and
they are reasonably plolable to the In-

Say , who Is thIs with silvered hair ,
So pale and worn and thin ,
Wimo pasmeeth here antI imassetli timere ,
And looketh out and in ?
That useth not our garb nor tongue , ,
And knoweth titings mmntoid ;
Who teacheth pleastmre to the young
And wisdom to the old ?
No toil ito mnketh lain by day ,
No home his own by night ;
But wimereso&er lme takes his way
lIe killetit our delight.
Since lie lvum conic there's nothing wise
Nor fair 1mm man or child ,
Unless bum detp , divinIng eyes
Have looked on It and smnlled.
Whence came ime lmither nil alone
Among omr , folk to spy ?
Tlmer&H nauglmt that We can call our owl
Till he shah hap to die.
And I would dig his grave full deep
hieneath the churchyard yew ,
Lest thence imle wlzmmrd eyes malgld , peep
To mark time tImings we do.
