THE YOUNG DEMOCRACY.

Some of the politicians of the Democratic stripe
who wear spectacles on their noses and crow-feet
around their eyes, begin to feel considerable anxiety
IN relation to what the party means by the Young
Democracy" If the " Old Fogies'' are to be cast
aside, and none but young Democrats are to be re-
cpents hereafter Of popular favor they very natur-
ally wish to know la ,s whether they belong 70 the
the National Convention toward which many young
49, - a Essss sss 1ss "a sits much
twenty ard under SIXTY yskrs Of ess Thsre are many
Democrats who are willing to adopt the definition Of Mr.
Smith, while there many others who regard sixty years
as too old for politician. The argument of the Pro-
gressive Democracy take to be something like this
When begins to descend the hill Of lfe he gets
hardened both in his bones and his sentiments AS every
thing ahead while these old cocks stand STILL they
speedily left behind and understand what is
required by the public sentiment They become fossil
mains of past epoch and may do well enough to set
in show cases in museums but Of practical use
They ought therefore, be thrust aside and young De-
mocrats fresh and green in their verdure, whom is
neither the blight OF age nor Of disappointment whose
heads not stripped frosted by age, and who can
chew, see, SMELL feel, and hear keenly any body
ese ought to be placed in the front ranks Of the country
to do all the work required from the executive legislative
and judicial departments. The :" Young Democracy
must be placed in all Offices and the Old Foges ought to
be laid up in ordinary, die off and be laid by their
weeping friends in the grave In parts Of Inda it
is said to be usual to take the Old Foges and place
them the banks of the sacred river and there leave
them to die. How would this plan suit the Young De-
mocracy? OF course the " Old Fogies have right to
say what shall be done with themselves
The !" Young Democracy" ought to remember, how
ever in their dealings toward the Old Foges, that
they will become Old Fogies too in the Of
ture and that what they mete out to the old folk will
be meted out to themselves some of these days.

VALUE OF AN ACRE Coal LASD.-The Pottsville (Pa

land is worth $4,000.
