Our Exchanges.

We always find some pleasure in looking
over our exchanges; we like to trace the va
rious moods of the Editors as displayed in
their leaders and short paragraphs. Some
are good natured to a fault-seeing a good
in everything-and disposed to receive all
presents, from a handsome Castor to a mess
of turnips, with a cordial acknowledgement.
Others are cross as a spoiled baby and given
to s~neering at everything apart from their
Office. Others again give themselves glory
for their immaculate integrity, and issue hot
invectives against all other papers. All such
we opine are badly fed, wear seedy clothes
and sleep in the garnet. A battle of words,
such as we sometimes see carried on before
an election, is a sweetmeat TO us. we pc
ruse the articles, green with gall, and spiced
with such euphonious phrases as filthy
wretch" "libel on humanity" perfdious
scoundrer'-'' sewer Sheet" with the same
delight as we always experience in witness
negatively ~''set-to" betweentwow ellmatched
tom cats. Because past experience assures
US, that when said Editors exhaust all the
gall their ink pot contains, they shake hands
and laugh it off in an universal, general way,
perfectly natural. \

The Standards Long Face.

We have seen nothing so supremely ridlc-
ulous for a twelve-month, as the recent at
tempt of the Standard to put on a long face
and roll up its eyes witra sanctimonious leer,
when it pretends to be an ADVOCATE Of temper
ance. It's editor s%ympathises deeply with the
unfortunate victims of intemperance-would
do as much as any one to persuade, to rea-
son, to advise, to help, to encourage them,
)h s%@ for h yS8 a6s W. 5y; d tsPs5ggs ssss 5 e pFS9 5adds9s,
will have to expose you, as a scribe, phari-
see, and hypocrite." We do not bet, but we
venture the assertion, that no reader of that
print has seen, for the last ten years, so ar
rant, barefaced aspecimen of pharisaism and
unmitigated hypoericy, as that article exhib-
it's. The picture as it presents itself to our
minds eye, deserves the happiest effort of
the pencil of a Raphael-we know nothing
so true to life, SO illustrative of the sancti-
monious pretences Of a pharisaical hypocrite,
as that selfsame article. Why, what has
the Standard or its Editor ever done to pro-
mote the cause Of Temperance? Can any
one point to an article in its columns that
was not either designed as an attack upon
the measures Of itsfriends or a carricature of
their efforts except, perhaps, when truth
compelled him to publish something correct
ing former Misrepresentation Published p
If the Standard or its Editor has been a CO.
adiutor in thfshogssesnse it is certainly no,
very recently. We have looked in vain for
months to see something that we could con.
strue into even a good feeling for the cause
Many of his subscribers, to our knowledge
have been eagerly scanning his columns tC
see the slightest Indication of favor-a small
word Of encouragement, but in vain. AnC
now, since we have dared to check him fol
his evident hostility to the cause of Temper
ance, he turns upon US and tells US he is
better friend of temperance than we are ant
in advance forewarns the friends Of our nobl
cause, of the out-pouring of his treasures
wrath and the exposure of all such "scribes
pharisees and hypocrites."
&C wad some power the gifty gle us,
To see ourselves as others see U.S."

@ The villain that maliciously places
an obstruction upon a Railroad in order to
destroy life, is branded as an incarnate devil
by the excited populace, and he is hunted
like a ravenous, child-eating beast by the
public Press and cursed with the lightning
speech of the magnetic lips, from the length
to the breadth o fthe land-yet the same pop
ulace and the same Press, do not only silently
permit, but actually clothe with legal author
ity rum-selling, even at their own fre-sides-
a system that destroys more than all Rail
roads combined-destroys with more cruelty,
and not only the bodies but blasts with an
Eternal curse the immortal soul! What
policy! \

THE RAPPINGs ExPLAINED.-Dr. Rogers,
at a recent Convention of the Spiritualists
held in Boston, explained the rappings as
lucid as a wabash mudhole. He said that he
thought the revelations were not spiritual but
" "a cerebal automatic movement, depending
for its development upon the i~diosy-nacratic
temperament of each individual, inspired
through the spinal centres by a mundane
process of electricised vitality, acting upon
every molecule of the system"
Observation-Disclosures What an
a~ssanine set we Editorial Philosophers have
been all this time, never to have understood
it before! Clear, isn't it?

The Iona few days ago at Hylton's
Monagerie, in Glasgow, a mischievous ur-
chin, after teasing the African lion, pune
tured his nose with a needle. The beast,
feeling the smart, bounded against the iron
bars of the enclosure, and drove the needle
further in. The keeper, Macomo, who was
unaware of what had occurred, went into the
den for the purpose of exhibiting it's per-
Torrance, but fortunately discerned the eye
Of the needle in the lions olfactory nerve
The lion seemed to supplicate, and Macomo,
with great courage, extracted the needle,
upon which the king of the forest, relieved
from the pain, fondled him with all the af
! lection of a spaniel.-SeOtch Paper.

Temperance and Political Parties.

The great fear with our politicians seems
to be, that the temperance question will dis
turbparty lines and cause democrats or wings
to decline supporting party candidates who
may be proposed fer Office. This is a ques-
ton which the politicians themselves must
determine. II IN thsselection of candidates
the liquor int ire consulted, and the
views and wishes Of the moral, temperance
portions of the parties are set at nought, the
latter have no resort but either to abandon
their high sense of moral right, or else re-
Duke such conduct by refusing to support
such men. With too few exceptions, as the
New Orleabs Organ justly remarks, candi-
dates have heretofore been selected for res
ponsible o6ces, who, from their conVivial
habits and generosity in circulating the in
toxicatingkeup, were reckoned popular men,
good fellokEs, capable Of carrying the crowd,
not so mukh from their weight of character,
their NAM virtues, their steady aim to i'm
prove socity, but from their easy tolerance
of usages however injurious to their fellow
men, andEheir facile subseryiency to circles
of political influence.
There have been exceptions to this men
occasionally havesbeen advanced to offices OF
honor and profit, who would administer the
most unpopua~aregardlcs Of consequen-
ces, or labor to legislate a reform OF evils
which preyed upon The body polite. Such
are the men for the times, and If such be
the character of men proposed by the two
parties, there will be no necessity for any
having to desert the parties with which they
have heretofore acted. The friends OF tenn
perance do not design a separate organiza-
ton. 1t is their dim to keep temperance as
far disconnected from politics as possible
But, at the same time, they will not support
Incorporate men, nor those who bow IN al
legiance to grog-shop influences. They Will
disregard the edict of their own party con-
v~ention, if it selects those who are opponents
of the present temperance movement. With
them, the importance to the happiness OF IN
diyiduals and families-to the industrial IN

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. cannot fail tC
see that temperance men must take thell
stand on this question at the ballot-box, OF
acknowledge themselves the grossest of hyp
o~crites. The selection of suitable men as can
didates will secure the integrity of politica
parties. It will prevent the necessity, which
otherwise must exist, of acting Independent
of regular nominations. 1t remains for tn
Politicians to determine the questionable.

Browns Essence Of Jamaica Ginger

rs remedy suited to the extremes of heat and
Il cold, and is very beneficial whenever gentle
tonic and stimulating influences are required. Its
s,imulanl property being independent OF alcoholic
power, its effect as frequent remedy need never
be dreaded. While it strengthens and refreshes
the debilitatcd in summer season, it is not less
potent during the incemency of the winter by
warming with its healthy tonic principle enabling
the system to resist the influence of incipient
diseases which Turk in changing climate. No
family should be without it, and to travellers by
land or sea it will be found invaluable to use a
few drops n wafer as uniformly healthy and
agreeable drink, without intoxicaiion.
Caution. Persons desiring an article that can
