Support your Local Papers.

The first duty Of every democrat, in
every county. is to support the local
presto see that its means are ample,
so that the purpose for which it was es-
tablished, the advancement Of democratic
principles. may be accomplished. The
local papers are the real fighting men
the infantry Of the line. so to speak, upon
whom. in the day of battle. devolve the
most important duties. If,hey are cher
ished, there can be no doubt of the ulti-
mate and permanent triumph Of our prin-
c,ples. No other object should cause
this support to be withheld, as upon its
accordance depends our very existence
as party. We repeat democrats, give
TO your local papers full support-no,
a mere living, but something that will
enable their conductors to have an equal
chance with other men in getting along
in the world. Editors have hard time
Of it, even when well supported: let
not their efficiency, as laborers in the
political vineyard, be destroyed, by chur-
lishly Withholding from them what they
have right TO expect.
1t will be foUad, we believe, that the
democrats are successful 10 just the same
proportion that their papers circulate. -
Wherever many Of them are taken, and
their principles have thereby opportuni-
ties Of becoming thoroughly known.
there democrats can look for success, as
all experinece proves Ohio Statesman.

A Sermon from the Leaves.

p Next to the Bible, there is nothing
that speaks more powerfully or beautiful
ly than the seasons.
Spring breaks out with the laughing
mirth and freshness Of the young child
Nature assumes roseate hue, and Joy
Is written upon all Gods works. How
cheerfully we watch the budding leaves
and unfolding flower. This is like the
dawn Of life. The young mind lives in
the present glory, and sees not the fu-
ture.
Summer comes. Nature is develop
ed. The earth's carpet is spread; the
trees wave their perfect foliage; the
flowers are in their gorgeous bloom
Heaven has impressed upon creation the
highest perfection. One can hardly
realize that these are perishable. So it
is with the early noon Of life. We see
man in the pride Of his greatness and
strength, and woman in the surprising
glory Of her beauty-but see not the in
visible mortality growing beneath.
But Autumn is here. And now the
flowers have dropped. and the "sear
and yellow leaf'' has fallen from the
chilled tree. The cold blast has driven
away the warm atmosphere, redolent
with perfume. Death is written upon
Nature, and Winters white shroud will
be soon thrown over her corpse. So it
is with life. The changing seasons
teach US mournful lesson, and yet to
him those heart is right, it is as beautiful
as mournfnl.
The death ofNature is not an everlast.
ing sleep, ere many months it shall cast
off its funeral gear. and spring up from
its grave with new life. and bud and blos-
som as before. Nature never dies, but
it rests from its labor.
Thus IL is with human existence.-
The great priaciple Of vitality in nature
is equally applicable TO the spiritual as
10 the animal economy. The intellect
may throw its visi ON beyond the SHOWS
oe hfe's dreary winter, and see itself 10
the bloom of an eternal existence. We
pity the man who esteems himself Of less
value IN the estimation Of sHeven than
the mute tree or soulless. flower Port.
finer. a..

An ApoIogy for kissing.

"The smirklsh winds kiss all they meet"
AZ on viewless wings they fly;
The valleys kiss the the mountains feet,
And the mountains kiss the sky.
The rivers kiss, unthrift Of love,
Their banks bejemmed with flowers,
And swallows leave bright heaven above
To kiss this world of ours.
The swinging billows kiss the beach,
Though in most unlovely fashion, %.
And the Cypress longs the earth to reach.
To enjoy the darling passion.
The Aeecy clouds kiss Phebe's light,
The starry sky adorning;
And day beams kiss the brow Of night,
Ere the burst Of the dewey morning.
The ivy kisses from its birth, ..,
All other cares dismissing,
And all things bright and fair on earth
Seem most engaged in kissing.
Az this by oil 10 seen and heard,
And known to be most true,
Twere most unnatural and absurd
I should not now kiss you. So

A CHEAP BEEAKPAsr.-A Son oi
Erin at Schenectady heard the breakfast
bell ring on board a canal boat, just
starting out TO- Buffalo. The fragrance
of the viands induced him to 60 aboard.
.tsurs, captain, DEAR" said he, IAN
whath ye AK poor man for travelling
on yer Elegant swan ov boat?"
"Only cent and half mile and
found, replied the captain.
''An is it the vittles ye mean to find 1,
shures" "Yes. And if you're going
along, 60 down to breakfast.
Pat didn't want to be told second
time, but having descended into the
cabin and made a hearty meal, he came
again on deck and requested that the
boat might be stopped.
"What do you want to stop fora" in.
puired the captain.
"How far have we come just?" asked
Pat. "Only little over mile"
Pat thereupon handed the captain two
cents, and cooly told him that he believed
he would not 60 any farther with him, as
Judy would wait her breakfast, moi
knowing that he had breakfasted out!
The joke was SO good that the captain
took the two cents, ordered the boat te
be stopped, helped Pat ashore, aud tolt
him that should he ever have occasion
to travel that way again he should b,
most happy to carry him.
