5 , '. 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. Exchange. GRAHAM COOKIES.

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.
