HOW EASY IT IS.
How easy it is to spoil a day I
The thoughtless words of cherished friends,
The selfish act of a child at play,
The strength of will that will not bend.
The slight of a comrade, the scorn of a foe
The smile that is full of bitter things
They all can tarnish its golden glow
And take the grace from its airy wings'.
jlow easy it is to spoil a day
By the force of a thought we did not check !
Little by little we mould: the clay,
And little flaws may the vessel wreck.
The careless waste or a white-winged hour,
That held the blessings we long nad sought.
The sudden loss of wealth or power
And lo ; the day is with ill inwrought.
How easy it is to spoil a life
And many are spoiled ere well begun
In some life darkened by sin and strife,
Or downward course of a cherished one ;
By toil that robs the form of its grace
And undermines till health gives way ;
Bv the peevish temper, the frowning face,
"The hopes that go and the cares that stay.
A day is too long to be spent in vain ;
Some good 6hould come as the hours go hy
Some tangled maze may be made more plain.
Some lowered glance may be raised on high.
And life is too 6hort to spoil like this,
"if only a prelude it may be sweet ;
Let us bind together its thread of bliss
And nournien the flowers around our feet.

ter of a pound, bottle it, cork it well,
and in using be careful not to stir it.
Lay the stain in this for a moment,

table linen.
STRICTED IMMIGRATION,
Suffrage, under our political system,
has been extended to the extreme
limit consistent with national safety.
We have reached the danger line. It
is too late to cure the evils and correct
the mistakes of the past. They are
irremediable. The cowards and the
demagogues of all political parties
have been emulous in obsequious sub
serviency to the most 'dangerous and
destructive elements in xour civiliza
tion. The total number of immigrants
from foreign countries for the twelve
months ending June 30, 1887, at the
six principal ports of" the United
States, was 4S3,116. The arrivals
not reported would swell this number
to more than five hundred thousand,
or nearly fourteen hundred for every
day in the year. This exceeded the
arrivals of the preceding year more
than forty per cent. Many of these
were unskilled laborers imported by
corporations, to destroy the intelligent
industry of American artisans by
their degraded competition. Myriads,
like the Poles, Finns, Italians, Hunga
rians in the mines of Colorado, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania, are only restrained
by armed force from arson or mas
sacre. Paupers, criminals, fugitives,
malcontents, outlaws, connecting links
between the savage and the beast, the
feculence of decaying nations, the
sediment and exuviae. 'of humanity, are
.discharged like sewage upon the con
tinent. The emissaries anarchy, the
Te-enforcements for the brutal army
of ruin:-whose war crv is th6 destruc
tion of organized government- arid
social order, whose weapons are 'the
torcli and the -bomb, are welcomed
upon the strand 'with v tumultuous
waving of. the star-spangled "banner,
with perpetual Fourth of July, with
continuous ''Yankee Doodle" and
Hail Columbia, Happy Land," with
the tender of the ballot and a quarter
section of the public domain, before
they can speak the language, or dis
tinguish the difference between the
Constitution of the United States and
the Proverbs of Solomon. Forum.
