NCE there was a
little boy who
down the street
would run ,
With chubby
hands , ruddy
cheeks and ,
brown eyes full
of fun ,
When I came from
work at the
close of day.
And this is what he was sure to say :
"Hello ] ] , papa , here's yer little man
Comin to meet you as fast's I can. "
Oft have I paused as I seemed to hear
His childish voice in accent clear ,
t And smiled as I thought of the little
bare feet
Tattering along on the dusty street ,
And the "Hello , papa : , her's yer
little man
I
Comin' to meet you fast's I can. " I
But ther came a day when a poisoned
dart
Entered my soul and pierced my heart ,
Death came like a thief and stole away
The little boy who was wont to say :
"Hello ] ] , papa , here's yer little man
Comin' to meet you as fast's I can. "
Years have passed since he died , but I
still retain
In my stricken heart a nameless pain.
But when death from earth shall call
me away
Methinks I shall hear a sweet voice
say :
"Hello , papa , her's yer little man
Comin' to meet you as fast's I can. "
Oh , what bliss it will be , when I draw
near
The gates of heaven , his voice to hear
. 'Mid the song of glory and shouts of
I joy ,
The voice of my darling and agel boy ,
Shouting " Hello , papa here's yer
little man
Comin' to meet you fast's I can. "

+ An exchange : relates the following
,
story of how a bootblack achieved suc-
CCBS :
"A hundred years ago there lived in
Oxford a little boy , whose business ! it
was to clean the boots of the students
of the famous university there. He was
poor , and bright and smart. Well ,
this lad , whose name was George , grew
- rapidly ; : favor with the students.
His prompt and hearty way of doing
things , and his industrious habits and
' faithful deeds won their admiration.
They saw in him the promise of a noble
man , and they proposed to teach him
a little every day
"Eager to learn George accepted
{ their proposals and he soon surprised
his teachers by his rapid progress.
" 'A boy who can blacken boots well
can study well , ' said one of the stu-
dents.
" 'Keen as a briar , ' said another ,
'and pluck enough to make a hero. '
But we cannot stop to tell of his pa-
tience and perseverance. He went on ,
step by step , just as the song goes :
One step and then another. '
until he became a man , a learned and
,
j eloquent man , who preached the gos-
pel to admiring thousands.
"The little bootblack became the renowned -
nowned pulpit orator , George White-
field. "

Low Life in London.
A slirr.pEe ] i of slum life in London and
the chief cause of the people's poverty ,
is given in an article in the Century
. entitled , "Stamping Out the London
Slums. " The author , Mr. Edward Mar
shall , says : 1
"The public houses explain a great
many of the miseries of that miser-
able locality. There may be some teetotalers -
totalers there , but there ire : not many ;
and there are almost a.s few drinkers
who arc always moderate in their li-
bations. The curse of bitter beer : , raw
Scotch whisky , and "tuppenny" gin I
rests heavy on the place. Public opin-
ion Is no weapon against it , for public
opinion openly favors drinking when-
ever one has the necessary money , and
docs not regard actual drunkenness
as a disgrace t
"Women drink at the bars as un c
concernedly atf men do , and barmaids
serve them. The bar room is the gos-
sip place , and babes and small children II 1

are carrieu to , it and kept l < in It by : careful -
i ful mothers who gather there for the
1 day's necessary talk. Infants some-
I times cry , and at such times are per-
1 mitted a sip from the maternal glass ,
j i quite as other children are bribed with
I '
chocolate drops. Thus blear eyes and
drink-reddened faces often have early
beginnings. The children on the streets
are dirty , ragged , and vociferously
happy over small things. : Adults are
not genuinely happy. There is no
I reason why they should be. . They de-
rive much spasmodic merriment from
the public houses. Drunkenness and
fighting are common everywhere , especially -
pecially on the streets. ' During one
noon recess I saw three fights develop
among the two dozen employes of a box
factory. Nor are the combatants always -
ways men or boys. "
A Prescription for Life.
If the chaplain's prescription in the
following anecdote was filled and faith- .
fully taken by every man , life would
be a path of roses instead of thorns :
The New York Observer recounts it :
A mixed company was gathered in
the little chapel. They had come together -
gether from many quarters ; there were
old and young , rich and poor. Differ-
ing in many respects , they were alike ]
in one : all were sick-some sick \ . : in !
body some sick in mind , some sick at
heart. They all needed to be com
forted of God. The lesson for the even-
ing was the thirty-seventh Psalm. One
and another commented upon it. Then
the chaplain arose :
"Dear friends" he said , "here in seven
verses is a prescription for each one.
Fill it , take it , and life will no longer
be to you the grievous way it is now.
There are six ingredients : 'Fret not.
'Trust , ' 'Delight thyself , ' Commit thy
way , ' 'Rest ' and 'Wait patiently. ' Then ,
as if a double measure was needed ,
'fret not' is repeated. Try this prescription -
scription of the Great Physician , and
see how it will tone the spirits while it
quiets the heart. "
Only these. few words , and the chap-
lain sat down , but the clearing brow ,
the uplifted look , showed , that into some
lives the balm had dropped , and was
even then beginning its work.
A Sons of JITotlier.
In the new volume of the heretofore
unpublished poems of Christina Ros-
setti is this charming poem , written in
her mother's old age :
My blessed mother dozing in her chair
On Christmas day seemed an embod-
ied Love ,
A comfortable Love with soft brown
.
hair , . .
Softened and silvered to a tint of
dove ;
A better sort of Venus with an air
Angelical from thoughts that dwell
above ;
A wiser Pallas in whose body fair
Enshrined a blessed soul looks out
*
thereof. .
Winter brought holly then ; now sprint
has bronght
Paler and frailer snowdrop shiver-
ing ;
And I have brought a simple , humble
thought-
I her devoted , duteous Valentine-
A life-long thought which thrills this
song I sing ,
A life-long love to this dear saint of
mine.
Wrecked by Alcohol.
Dr. Joseph Cook , in a lecture in Bos-
ton some time ago gave the following
graphic picture of the wreck of a soul
by alcohol : '
"Then came a sigh of the storm , a
groaning of waves , a booming of black-
ness , and a red , crooked thunderbolt
shot wrathfully into the suck of the
sea where the ship went down.
"And I asked the names of those
rocks , and was told : God's stern and
immutable laws.
"And I asked the name of that ship ,
and they said : Immortal Soul.
"And I asked why its crew brought
it there , and they said : Their captain ,
Conscience , and helmsman , Reason ,
I
were ; dead. J
"And I asked how they died , and they I
said : By one single shot from the Pirate
rate Alcohol ; by one charmed ball of c
Moderate \ Drinking !
"On this topic , over which we sleep
we shall some day cease to dream. "

Love That Is Perfect.
I
A church legend and its lesson is recalled - i
called by Rev. Cabel D. Bradlee thus : .
A woman was seen running through
the streets of Jerusalem with a pot of i
red-hot ccals in one hand and a cruse of 1
water , in the other hand. When she ]
was . asked what she wanted to do , she (
replied : .
"With the water I am going to put
out the abyss , and with the fire I am
going to burn up heaven , in order that
man may love God for himself alone. " , c
This legend sets in clear light the
1
truth : that we must not be good simply
because we want to go to heaven nor
because we fear if we are bad , that we
shall be lost. Ah , no ! for that would
be simply a matter of calculation , that :
would be a mere mercantile bargain , t ; .
and that would be utter selfishness.

NATIONAL ' FINANCE.
TREASURY CONDITIONS REVIEWED -
VIEWED BY BOTH PARTIES.
The Decreases and Increase of Debt Are
Carefully Analyzed - Always Rcpubl' " ll
Policy to Redeem Our nonlls-.uad
Democratic Legislation.
The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury for 1865 stated that on the
31st of October , 1865 , the public debt
without deducting funds in the Treas-
ury , amounted to 52,808.510,437.55. Of
this sum , 1,144,072,100 were in 10-40 5
, per cent. , and 5-20 6 per cent , bonds
Pacific Railroad 6 per cents , due in
1881 , and 5 per cents. , due in 1871 , 1874 ,
1880 the remainder being in temporary
loans , Treasury notes , compound interest -
terest notes , 7-30 notes and United
States notes , one , two and three year
notes , and fractional currency.
The Finance Reports for 1868 state
that the debt , less cash in ! the Treas
ury , was 250520251691.
The Reports for 1871 state that the
total decrease of the public debt from
March , 1 , 1869 , to December 1 , 1871 , was
5227,211,892.16. During the same period
the annual interest had been reduced !
016,741,436.04. ! ; :
In the Finance Reports for 1873 , on
page XXIII , we find the following :
"The country has exported , during the
twenty years ending with the last fis-
cal year , gold and silver to the extent
of more than a thousand million dollars
over and above the amount imported. "
The Finance Reports for 1S7G Secre- '
tary ; Morrell : show that on June 30 ; ,
1876 ( j. including accrued interest , less
bonds issued to the Paciiic Railroad
Companies and less cash in the Treas-
- - . - -

" ' - - - - " -
- . - - " " " " " " " " - '
these figures the interest bearing jebt
had been reduced l,796,500y64.96 { } dur-
ing 28 years under Protection. Although -
though the pension law called for from
120,000,000 to $134,000,000 annually
from the Treasury , yet President Garrison -
risen was able to reduce the public
debt more than 61,000,000 : yearly dur -
ing his entire administration.
This was the condition of the Treas-
ury at the time of the election in Nov-
ember 1892.
In the Monthly Statement of the pub-
lic .debt issued for the month of Feb-
ruary , 1896 , Secretary Carlisle makes i
the oustanding interest-bearing debt of '
the Government , on March 1. 1893 ,
$585,034,260 ; on March 1 , 1S9G. $822-
615,170. From these figures , furnished
by Secretary Carlisle himself , the pub-
lic interest-bearing debt has increased
237,580,910 , between March 1 , 1893 ,
and March 1 , 1896 , an annual average
of 79,193,636 ; and for this amount the
President and Secretary have sold to
home and foreign bondholders . 1 % per
cent , interest-bearing bonds , which
run for 30 years. : According to the
Report of 189 , there was a deficiency
in revenue of 569,805,260.58. ! Undoubt
edly the President will be compelled tc
sell as many bonds during the last year
of his term as he has for the year past
which will make an average increase
of the bonded debt , during his entire
term , of about 80,000,000 a year.
Under a protective tariff the public
debt was reduced over 7.1,000,000 > annu-
ally for 28 years , while under the Wil-
son-Gorman tariff bill Cleveland and
I
Carlisle have increased the bonded I
debt about 80,000,000 a year. These
figures clearly show the difference between -
tween protection and low tariff , but ,
unfortunately for the people the effect
of this latter policy has been far more
disastrous to the industries ! of the
country than it has been to the reven
ues of the Government.

Low Tariff and Jln : li Prices.
Under the McKinley : tariff the duty
upon boots and shoes was 25 per cent. I
ad valorem. The Free-Traders' idea- : : !
being that the consumer pays the tax I
and desirous of relieving the burden !
of labor , they lowered the wicked Mc I
Kinley rate down to 20 per cent. , rub
bing their hand with glee and satis
faction because they had , in theii
imagination , reduced the price of boot :

ury , the public debt was § 2099439444.
94 , a reduction of the debt since Aug-
ust 31 , 1865 " of 656992266.44 : ; , which
was 223144011.07 more than was absolutely -
solutely required by the sinking fund.
In his report for 1887 , Secretary Man-
ning said : "The grand total of $127-
612,850 : : ! of 3 per cent bonds were retired -
tired in 18S7 , and after every possi le
o had been provided for , the
sum of 55258701.19 surplus was still
in the Treasury , which every day
grows larger. A careful estimate !
shows that this sum will ! be increased
to $140,000,000 ( } at the end ! of this fiscal
year , under the operation of the pres-
ent : tariff and appropriation laws. "
.
Secretary Manning further estimated
. .
that the revenues by June 30 1890.
with the surplus revenue of 1SS9 and
the surplus already accumulated , would
be 228,000,000 , which might be used
in [ the next thirteen months for the
purchase of interest-bearing debts. "
This report was the last one made
under Mr. Cleveland's first administra
tion , and this showing was due to a
Republican Senate that would not reduce -
duce the duties on foreign imports
which a Democratic House : : . ; had tried
Lo secure.
In his report for 18S9 , Secretary Win-
lam said : "The cash balance in the
rreasury over and above all accrued
at the close of 1889 71-
liabilities , was $71 , -
184,042.39. ( . If to this balance there be
ldded the estimated surplus for the
current fiscal year , the amount that
ould : be added to the purchase of bonds
o June 1890 , will be 103,184,042.39. "
Secretary Foster in his first report
made the following statement : "The
otal reduction of the public debt including -
jluding : amounts applied to the sink-
ng fund since August 31 1865 when
he debt was at its highest point , ag
gregated ; 1914605107.85 , or § 990,510-
581.49 more than was required by the
inking fund act.
From the time the war closed in
August , 1865 to the close of Benjamin
Garrison's administration . , a period of
8 years , the public debt was reduced
it an annual average of 75.528,753 , and
n [ addition there to , the pension fund
lad been increased from about $16-
47,656 to 134583052. The total in-
erest bearing debt as given by Secre-
ary Foster , was on August 31 , 1865
2,381.530,294.9G ; on August 31. 1892 , it

was shown by Bradstreet's review of !
prices during 1S95. Boots and shoe ! :
were 12.6 per cent. higher nt the close :
of last year than they were at the beginning -
ginning of the year. The reduction of

Cost . of Destroying ; ; a Slum.
London is spending nearly S-,500POO : :
in cleansing and rebuilding one slum.
American cities are just beginning to
learn how serious is the cumulative
evil of slum construction. They may
with profit also . learn how cost-
ly is the necessity of slum destruc-
tion. The object lesson offered by
London may be studied with
interest in our large cities and espec
ially in New York where through the
efforts of the state tenaraent house
commission , legislation has with much
difficulty been secured which , if enforced -
forced , perpetuated and added to , will
tend to prevent the growth of such
conditions us London is now compelled
to combat. - Centurj' .

family ; laxative , Syrup of Figs. promptly - -
ly removes. That is why it is the only

and the system is regular , laxatives or I V
other remedies are then not needed. If

physicians , but if in need of a laxative , &
one should have the best , and with the I
well-informed ; everywhere ; , Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely I
used and gives most general satisfaction. I
