And grief has been upon my way;

THE JUNIUS TRACTS.

Tract No. VIII. on "Labor and Cap
ilal," by Junius, has just been issued by
Greeley and McElra,h New York 1t is
divided inio 4l sections, which treat Of
Labor and Capital in all their bearings
upon the interests and enterprises Of the
country, and afford the reader a pretty cor
rect view Of the evils arising from the
war carried on by the Federal Admins
tralion from 1929 to ISil, upon our Cur
rency, Manufactures, and Corporations
We make room here fer the 39th section,
which will afford the reader some idea Of
the character of the work, and of the pros
pects of relief from the embarrassmenl=
into which this country has been thrown
by the war upon our institutions:
''THL FUTuRE--The dawn of a bright
er day has cleaned, or begins to CLEAN on
this ong-sutiering and much-abused ma
ton. The last (27lh) Congress, notwilh-
standing the TREASON and all It's atten-
dan, difficulties, gave us Tariff, which
has put us in a position to start for the
recovery ola long lost national prospect
ty. This great boon Of Wing policy has
operated like charm on every branch Of
the business and trade ofthe country, has
brought back the specie, the absence Of
which had undermined our currency, and
the people are beginning to open their
eyes to the true character of that Des-
tructlve Dynasty through, which we have
passed. They see what ruin it brough.
upon US, and begin to understand the
causes-especially do they see, that the
war of Government on the long establish
ed monetary system Of the country and
its great commercial and financial agen-
cies, was war on its labor and industry.
This great discovery will lead to impor-
tant results. The prophecies OF the faith
full, uttered in dark days, being now in
terrupled by their luflment, the prophets
themselves will be honorel. What have
we suffered as nation, tina, was not fore
told as the necessary consequence of tina,
destructive policy? What of good was
predicted, in the beneficent operation OF
a Tariff like that of 1912, which the brief
experiment does not beg to shower upon
us? Who are they that ioretold these
lhings2 Who is CHEF among them?
The sad ad gloomy days Of our political
misfortunes, it is to be hoped, are draw
ing to close. They steady counsels Of
HENRY CLAY, once and for long
time spurned, are now beginning to be
appreciated. The eyes and hopes Of the
nation are turned and turning to that
bright STAR OF THE WEST, and the SUI
lrages of a great people are waiting TO hon
or him. 1t is yet indeed a contingent i'u-
ture, into whose vista we gaze with an in
terest SO profound and intense, and with
hopes not unmixed with concern, because
1t is contingent. Nevertheless, there are
certain and numerous facts, rising thick
and fast, out of the past and the present,
the grateful import of which can hardly
be mistaken. The people are waking,
they are coming; and in 1914, as in 1910,
their power is likely to be felt. Now,
as then, they understand, what is to be
done, to make miscreants tremble, and
drive traitors forever from power and in
fuence. Enough of mischief, surely, has
been achieved; LET US TRY FOR THE
GOOD"

Dear Kate know you will kindly,
For kindness is ever your wont,
Do me favor bengnly,
When you take your Wilmington jaunt,
You've heard ere this there's no doubling,

A beau in my ear has been spouting,
And squeezing my hand all for love.
Anon with my tresses been playing
For that Kate babe him bedone,
fear'd from their place they'd be strayng-
You knoto they acre only pinn'd on.
The wretch! though long I'd been trying,
To win him with "ur!s nicely strewn,
Has learned by peering and pryng,
Not on. # them all is my o,on
Oh, as an aspen leaf shaking,
Dear Kate in moment he fled,
Al once each tender tie breaking,
Which lately halo had shed.
Dear Kate then buy me some tonic

And # his love should be chronic,
III win him in spite ofmy age.
When my locks will be jetty and flowing,
No more as Autumn boughs then,
But bushy and verdantly growing
Like beard on limos chin.

HOW TO INCREASE BEAUTY.

There is divine conlagIon in all beau
teous things. We alternately color OBJ
jecls with our fancies and affections. or
receive from them kindred hue.
''Like the sweet South,
That breaths upon bank of volets,
Stealing and giving odor."
This principle pervades all nature,
ply steal and moral. Let those who
would trace an expression Of serenity and
tenderness on human face, watch per-
son OF senslbIllly as he gazes upon paint
ing by Claude or Raphael. In con,em-
plating fine picture, we drink in its spir-
it through our eyes. If lovely woman
would increase her charms, let her gaze
long and ardenty on all beautious ina
ges. Let her not indulge those passions
which deform the features, but cultivate,
on the contrary, every soft affection. 1t
will soon become an easy task, for one
good feeling suggests and supports anoth-
er We nsensibly and involuntarily adapt
our aspect to cur emotions, and long
habits of thought and feeling leave per-
manent impression on the counlenance
Every one believes thus far in physogno-
my, and &C: more or less decidedly upon
his behalf But even the effect upon the
features Of transient emotion is truly
wonderful. A fierce man often looks
beautifully tender and serene when either
caressing or carressed, and deceives us
like the ocean in calm, which at times
is '''he gentlest of all things. "-Riehard-
sons Literary Leaves.

The following touching incident, we
cut from the n. Y. Mirror.
An eminent clergyman one evening be-
came the subject Of ,conversation,aud Won
der was expressed that he was never. mar

was once cApressedto the reverend gentle

story in answer which will tell you and
perhaps slight As i. may seem, it is the
history Of other hearts, as sensitive and
delicate as his own. Soon after his or
dinatlon he preached once every Sabbath
fer Clergyman, in a small village not
twenty miles from I.ondon.-Amongihis
regular auditors he observed a
young lady, who always occupied ccr-
tain seat, and whose close attention began
insensibly TO grow to him an object of
though and pleasure. She left the church
as soon as service was over, and i, so

knowing her name, but his sermon was
not written without many tho't how she

at other times than when writing sermons
and to wish to see her on other days than
Sundays-but the weeks slipped on, and
though he fancied that she grew pa'er and
thinner, he never brought himself to the
resolution either to ask her name or to
seek to speak with her. By those silent
steps however, love had worked into his
heart, and he made up his mird to seek
her acquaintance and marry her, if posi-
