!, j Judging froln Appearances.
BY ALICE CARY.

Moses Wolfe was man of forty. five years
OF age at the time our story begins; but.
Judging from appearance, you would have
said he was fifty five, for be had worked hard
ever since he was big enough to work, and,
for some reason. had fewer holidays than
men who in this free country live to be for
ty-fise yeers old. His eyes were half shut
with the wrinkles at the corners. and his
complexion bronzed and hardened by the
continual exposure to the sun, and rain and
bitter cold, Of all the long and drudging years
through which he had passed.
His head was bald at the top, and his hair
thin and grey on the temple; his hands large
and clumsy, with veins swolled and knotty
as they could be; his neck was lean and
long, and his shoulders bent, merely because
he had not energy to hold himself up, peo-
pie said; and in his face there was wo-be-
gone expression that made somepeope smile
and others sigh. 1t was foolish fashion
Moses Wolfe had got into, his neighbors
thought; and if they we're disposed they
couldsput on just such miserable look; and
if they PERSISTED in wearing It, they sup
posed they would find it just as difficult to
lay inside as he did. But mixed with the
wo-begone expression. or struggling to get
through il, there was one patience. of re.
signation, and Of hope; or rather Of what
would have been hope; why he could not
nobody knew; ;and judging fromiappearances,
he would not, and thatwas all. No one.ev-
ersthought Of plying him. or Of looking any
further than appearances about him; and,
standing mile or two away from his house.
and i'll the tireless help and love that should
have been there, it was not Easy TO tell
Why the man should have been regarded by
any as an object ofpity. .g !, IN
By degrees he had lostathe respect Of the
people, for, the truth Is, he did not,respect
himself He did not present himself on q
lection day with shaven face and clean Thri
to make his vote count on what he thought
the right side. Poor Moses |. he did moi
know there was any right side--eyerythine
was crooked and dimsal to him; and sas fol
his vote. why it wouldn't make much differ

Fact and Common Sense

We find the following practical demonstra
ton in a late number of the Cleveland Daily
Leader:
Power OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
The Republican party is stronger to-day
than it was before the late elections in New
York and Massachusetts,. There can he no
question that the endcavors of few de-
signing men to split the people of the North
into number of factions, have opened the
eyes of great many men who were dis
posed to risk themselves on halfway plat.
form. We think that we may safely assert
that the following points have been estab-
lished:
No party can triumph in single Northern
Stete unless it adopt the Republican plat.
form.
The Know-Norhings of the South will
never adopt that platform for if they do
they will be defeated in every Southern
State.
The people of the Southern States have
planted themselves On a narrow sectiona
platform, and the people of the North cal
not preserve their own honor, rights ant
dignity without meeting the issue frankly
boldly and explicitly.

Georgia Legislature, by way of retaliatinp
upon the Free States for their encourage

slaves may have escaped, if the authorities
of that State refuse to deliver up the slaves
upon claims of their rightful owners.

Judge Perkins, of the Superior Court of In
diana, lately decided the liquor law of that

Two GEORGIA PREACHERS CONTRADICT
ING EACH OTHER.-Two preachers were in
the same pulpit. While one of them was
preaching he happened to say, "When Abra-
ham built the ark"
The one behind him strove to correct the
blunder by saying out loud, "Abraham
warn't thar"
But the speaker pushed on, needless of
the interruption, and only took occasion
shortly to repeat still more emphatically, 81
say, when Abrahamibult the Ark" "
"And say" cried the other one, "Abra-
ham " arn't thar"
The preacher was too hard to be beaten
down in this way, and addressing Il peo-
PIE, exclaimed, with great indignation, az
say, Abraham was thar, or thar Anours. -
