A corros pendent Of the Chicago Journal
writes that Douglas spoke at Bloomington,
illinois, a few days since. " To about two
thousand people, ahd was listened to calmly
and respectfully. No applause was ihun-
dered forth as Of old, when the Missouri
Compromise was a sacred thing, which no
ruthless hand would ever be reckless enough
to disturb but tine feeling was painfully ap-
parent. that his audience didn't believe him
Lincoln was there. lincoln il apt to be
where he isn't wanted. He was there, aud
when Douglas had Just finished, he announc-
ed that he would address the people Of
Bloomington on the subject Of the Nebraska
bill, IN the evening. This was a little onin-
Gus, and SO Mr.. Douglas announced that he
would also speak IN the evening to the people
Of Bloomington, IN another place, on the same
subject Lincoln had large and enthusi-
aslio crowd, and Douglas so beggary m at
tendance. that his organs have seen fit 10
ignore the matter entirely
Douglas spoke at Springfield, III on the
9TH INST, 10 a large concourse. who heard
him IN profound silence. When he had
concluded, it was announced that Judge
'rrumbull, formerly of the Supreme Bench,
Judge Breese, Tx U. :. Senator, and J. A.
McClernand, formerly Representative FROM
the Wabash District in Cungress-all Loco
tocos-would answer him the following day.

Be Economical,

The man who commences early in life to
practice economy is always successful man.
Those who take care of cents soon have
dollars. The small unnecessary expenditures
are what keep so many men poor and at
toll all their lives. 1t is really astonishing 10
find how few men and women think it a
tMy to be economical when the world goes
smoothly and prosperQusly with them. While
it is rare TO find person who, would not
setsh to be rich, it is easy to find persons,
with abundant opportunities. who will not
strive to be independent and prepared for the
little vicissitudes of life.
Some love display, and will even run into
debt 10 crafty their foolish passion. Others
go on the principle of living while they can,
and Danish all thoughts of.bad times, sickness
or old age. Others again contract bad or
expensive habits, and rather than make an
attempt to get rid Of them, submit to their
tyranny, and deceive themselves with the
plea that they are necessary to the full en-.
Joyment of life. But the full enjoyment of
liie consists in living wisely and nationally.
Transient pleasures can be purchased too
dearly, ard for hours Of riotous enjoyment,
days and months of MISERY and pain may
be the fruits.
He will enjoy life most who moderates his
desires andeconomizes the rewards of his
tod. He will be frcer from apprehensions,
and will have less regrets to disturb his hap.
pier moments. No one may anticipate that
his path through life will be lighted by con.
hnual sunshine. This year may be pros.
porous one; the next may be the reverse.
Lhe mechanic who ow has abundant work
and good wages cannot tell whether these
will or not be permanent He knows not
how soon his health may fail, and his little
family be without provider. And so it is
OF every one who earns his bread by his own
labor. 1t is, therefore. their duty to be
economical while all is going well with them.
No matter how small may be the saving
each week. it will amount to pleasant little
sum by the end Of the year
The habit of saving too, when once acouir.
I'd, will work wonders. Economy has
most salutary influence upon the character
'f men and of families. 1t is promoter of
I'll the virtues. 1t encourages industry,
'vercomes evil temptations, and produces
ceilings OF independence and self.respect.-

SPEAK IN TONES OF KINDNESS.


Ever speak m tones Of kindness
To the sad and weary heart ).
Never let an unkind answer
Cause tile bitter tear to start.
For how many spirits broken.
Crushed beneath world of care;
Have been cheered by kind words spoken,
Giving strength the load to bear
None the human soul can Gathom!
None its mysteries explore!
Ills wonderful creation,
Launched on Times cventful shore;
And while earth It's wings shall trammei,
Few the pages we may read;
But in glory may we view it,
When from mortal vesture freed.
Like an instrument of music;
1t is deics:cl. stsungy
Then never 'ct'a note of sorrow
From its tender strings be wrung.
But may gentle works awaken
Sounds Of JOY, and peace, and love,
Such as angel cloirs are breathing
In the courts Of light above.
Then ever speak in tones of kindness
To the sorrow-strickcn heart,
And never let word, or action,
Cause the bitter tear to start;
For how many spirits broken,
Bowed beneath load Of care,
Have been cheered by kind words spoken,
Chcercd their daily cross to bcar

fed:
+" Once thar was a bar tuck phansv that
he'd like to eat gang Of turkeys, SO he sot
10 work to pick quarrel with the head COB:
bier OF the flock about some his domestic
affairs. The gobbler lowed it was none of
his business and said he not be dictated to,
not by no bar that ever walked on four legs.
The bar said he didn't want to make no dis.
turbance, and he hoped the turkeys wouldn't
obllge him to ring none of their necks off,
but they must do as he wanted 'ein to, or
he'd make 'em see sights. The turkey said
he was willen to do what was right, and
that he'd never done nuthin' else; but he
would be buried under his own roost pole
before he'd allow the bar or anybody else
to interfere with his concerns.
About this time along cum a lion and
rooster. They sed it wouldn't do for them
to let the bar eat up. the turkeys, or the
next thing they'd know he'd be pitchin' into
them. So the lion ax'd, "is this free
fight" The turkey told him "it are" He
SAID he was imposed upon by the bar, and
if they thong ht he was right, they might see
him out. Stand your ground, old hoss,"
ses the lion, aud "count me in." The roos
ter jined the lion, and bristled up on the side
Of the turkeys. With that, the bar, not
mindin' either Of them feather, just jumps
right over into the turkey pen, and opened
his mouth wide enough to swallow the
whole party
The lion backed himself up in the corner,
and, drappiu' his tail between his legs, ax'd
-" are this free fight 2" and the bar told
him eyes, it al"
WAL" ses the lion, "count me bout"
What become Of the turkeys nobody don't
know yet; but if the bar didn't eat ;em up,
neck and gizzard, it was because he found
'em tufler than he thought they war;
Ihe lion and the rooster made terrible
to do about the circumstance, but they tuck
monstrous good dcare to keep out of the reach
Of the bar"
There is considerable point in all this.

WHAT PLEASURE IT is TO Pax ONES
DEBrS.-l remember to have heard Sir T..
Lyttleton make the same observation. II
seems to flow from combination of crcum.
stances each of which is productive Of pleas.
ure. In the first place, it removes that uu-
easiness which true spirit feels from depen-
d.nce and obligation. 1t affords pleasure to
the creditor, and therefore gratfes our so.
cial affection. 1t promotes that future con-
tiderce which is so very interesting to an
honest mind; it opens a prospect of being
readily supplied with what we want OH future
own virtue and it is a measure we know to
be right, both in point of justice and Of sound
economy. Finally, it is the main support Of
simple reputation.-Shensone.
