What We Want.
All hail the dawn of a new day breaking,
When a strong-armed nation shall take away
' The weary burdens from backs that are aching
With maximum labor and minimum' pay ;
When no man is honored who hoards his mil-
lions ;
When no man feasts on another's toil,
And God's poor sufforiog, striving billions
Shall share His riches of sun and soil.
There is gold for all in the earth's broad bosom,
There is food for all in the land's great store,
Enough is provided if rightly divided ;
Let each man take what he needs -no more.
Shame on the miser with unused riches,
Who beats o robs tdownl theUwagel of hoard,

And steal's the bread from the poor man's.

Shame on the owner of mines whose cruel
And selfish measures have brought him
wealth, '
While the ragged wretches who dig his fuel
Are robbed of comfort and hope and health.
Shame on the ruler who rides in his carriage;
Bought with the labor of half -paid men -
Men who are abut out of home and marriage
And are horded like sheep in a hovel pen.
Let the clarion voice of the nation wake him
To broader vision and fairer play,
Or let the hand of a just law shake him
Till bis ill -gained dollars shall roll. away,
Let no man awell under a mountain of plunder,
Let no man suffer with want and, cold;
We want right living, not mere almsgiving,
We want just divining of labor and gold.

he likes, and, generally speaking, may do
in hisown house what he pleases todo';
save only the things whioh conflict with
what some other householder happens to
please at the same time, or the things of
whioh the ooneequenoee would be injurious
to the -whole body of citizens. In Boston,
for instance, he may, in his own house,
swear freely, which he cannot do outside
without committing a miedemenor; in
Washington he may take the,name of the
Trinity in vain, while if he does it in the
streets he renders himself liable to be fined
two hogsheads of tobacco, and in Maine
and .Kansas, if he can get wine and beer
into his house, he may drink it without

In the British House of C3mmona yes.

Sir James Fergneson said the restric-

Mr. Vincent thereupon laid on the table
of the House a notice that he would submit
a motion declaring that as the proposed
American tariff will -inflict a great injury
upon the trade of Sheffield and upon Brit.

House will consider whether a free market

AS TO SITTING.
Bad Positions More Harmful Than Most
People Imagine.
An erect bodily atilt a is ,oLvaeti-y., e
nl-p-or' anon o health than most , people
generally imagine, says the New York
Ledger. Crooked bodily positions, main-
tained for any length of time, are always
injurious, whether in a sitting, standing or
lying position, whether sleeping or wak-
ing. To sit with the body leaning forward
on the etomach,•or to . one aide, with the
heels elevated on a level with the hands, is
not only in bad taste, but eiticeedingly
detrimental to your health ; it cramps the
stomach, presses the vital , organs, inter-
rupts the free motion of the chest and
enfeebles the functions of the abdominal
and thoracic organs, and, in fact, imbal-
ances the whole muscular system. Many
children become alightly humpbacked or
severely round-shouldered by sleeping with
the head raised on a high pillow. When
any person finds it easier -to eit or stand or
walk or sleep in a crooked position than a
straight one, he may be ante his muscular

he should be to preserve an upright
