These are the States that hold their State
and local elections before the Presidential
contest closes. There will probably be a
great disparity between the result at the To-
cal and presidential elections. There arc
seven or eight of the number where the Bu'
chanan vote will far exceed that cast for
Democrats State and County officers.

horses and stationed themselves between our

quietly looked on and saw us knock down and
set fire to the fort, and take the prisoners. Our
little miniature army now amounting to over
400 strong, then marched back to this place in
triumph.

men could be persuaded TO let Titus alone and
not hang him. and nothing but the expectation

have s2itals and nurses to wait on. and prison

Leap Year.

Single ladies who may be anious TO
escape from a state Of single misery
will remember that the present is leap
year. and pitch in" The "peculiar
privilege only comes once in every
lorty-eight months. In the language
OF an intelligent contemporary, don't be
prudiSh. ladies, any longer. Matri-
mony is the best condition lorus bruteS
Of men as well rs for your charming
selves; and you will really be doing a
service by sci2lng all stray bachelors
.ofthis leap year and impoundng them
into matrimony. Some old rogue
once said that marriage was like those
wire rat-lraps, where hollow cone,
The big end out, invites the victims 10
enter, by the smell and sight Of toast
ed cheese within, hut where. when he
attempts 10 leave, the sharp ends OF
the wires Of the cone hint p0mtedIy to
the impossibiIity. The story is a wick
ed libel on mairimony, ladies, which
is not a rat-trap, any more than you
are toasted cheese. The man who
don't know that matrimony is good for
him is so far forth demented. and the
sooner he is put in the husbands
straight jacket the better for him.
You have prcscriptivc right to civil
ize our rougher natures. Franklin
aptly said that the sexes were halves
Of a pair OF scissors, and neither was
good Tor much without the other
Children don't know what is good for
Them. neither do men always. So, a:
Heap year is here, make an onslaught
one and all, Oh the bachelors, and LET
| it be as fierce as q iarm-wiie make,
on her poultry at Christmas. II is the
destins of turkeys to be eaten, and o
men to marry the girls. Forward
march!--AtheRs Post.

From the Louisville Journal.
The Early Dead.


Ere falsehood's frost had nipped the buds Of
truth,
Or cold experience chilled the joys of youth
Ere the young heart by sorrows pallid hand,
Was clad in mourning in mourning land
Ere friendship severed and its VOWS forgot
Had made them weep at manhood's bitter
while hope was whispering to the youthful
A bliss they ne'er could claim while dwelling
When glttering fancy's gay and brd'llke
wing
Famed the pure zephyrs of life's opening
apring-
While looked the moon more loving and
more bright
From yon high halls of the imperial night,
And shone the stars with more than lustrous
sheen
Around the throne of their most sanity queen,
They passed away, in life's gay morn of bloom,
From days Of pain, from years of grief and
Not by the measured tread of slow decay,
Foreseen and felt while yet It's far away,
But like the rose that glowed in evenings
bower,
All w,hered, cold, and dead at mornings
hour.
Such was their doom-yet can our spirits say
That we who live are aught more best than
they!
Theirs is the boon, at least, which many
The deep, untroubled slumbers Of the grave
They gave their last fond Look to eaath and
sky
Ere sins dark memories made it hard to die
And entered Heaven ere yet their hearts
could know
How few its Joys vouchsafed US here below
Upon the mansions of their dreamess rest
Still shimmers down the moons peiucid crest
And many twinkling star at midnight glow
Above the silence Of their long repose;
The perfumed breezes of the youthful year
Still watt their incense round each halowe
bier,
And dew-drops, that the heavens in pity weep
By angel hands are scattered o'er their sleep
And then the warbljng birds, that love TO sin
While mornings scented winds are whisprin
Pour sweetly forth, when nights last sta
hath fed,
Their earliest notes above the early dead.

What is Responsibility.

We heard a man, otherwise intelli-
gent enough, sneer at another, be
cause said he, 'one never meets him
in respectable society," The speaker
did not mean, however, that the per-
son he affected to look down upon was
immoral, bat merely that the circle Of
| his intimate associates was not com
posed Of the fashionable or the rich,
This notion Of what constitutes res
pectable society, is quite q iayorite
one with that class of individuals
whom Thackary hes so significantly
called "snobs." Empty prctence is al
ways making its own characteristics
a standard by which it strives tomeas-
ure the Responsibility Of persons at
large. In a community Of mere mon
ey-getting wealth is the test otrespec-
liability. Among the proud, narrow
minded, ehcte nobility Of the Fauburg
st. German, respectabiIity depends
on being descended from ancestors,
who have married their cousins for so
many centuries, that neither muscles
or brains are left any longer to the de-
generated descendants. Every con-
ceitcd fool thinks himself, in like way,
the only man really weighty the only
person who is really respectable.
But true responsibility depends on
no such adyenttious circumstances
To be respectable is to .e .o"'sy q
respect; and hc most deserves respect
who has most virtue. The humblcst
man. who bravely does his duty, is
more worthy Of respect, is more truly
respectable than the millionaire among
his money bags, Or the arrogant mon
arch on his throne. The fine lady who
backbiteS her neighbor, is less worthy
than an honest washcr-woman. The
proaigate noble, though he may wear
a dozen orders at his button hole, is
often not really as respectable as the
shoe black " no cleans his boots, That
which is called 'the world exats the
one and despises the other, but it does
not make them respectable, according
to the real meaning otthe word. Their
responsibility is but q shallow sham.
as they themselves frequently feel; and
those who worship them, bow down
to Il Fetish, thing Of feathers and tin
Isci A selfish. idle drOne. who wastes

If you have cold feet at bedtime,
draw off your stockings just before un-
dressing and rub your ankles and feet
with your hand, as hard as you can
bear the pressure, for FIVE or ten min
utes. and You will never have to com
plain of cold feet in bed. 1t is hardly
conceivable what pleasurable glow
it ditTuses. Frequent washing of the
feet and rubbing them thoroughly dry
with cloth or flannel, is very useful.
