E0- II there is anything that will

her night cap after the light has been
blown out.

turned the matter over in his mind, he
debated it carefully, and finally oompro-
missed his difficulties by-rushing in an
other direction.
The day grew apace. The ill-starred
city was surrendered to riot, carnage and
infamy No other law was known or
respected by the revolver of the Plug
Ugly and the dagger of the Rip-Rap.-
The Democrats were overawed, driven
from the polls, beat, imprisoned, muir
dered, Law was boldly trampled down
by the mob, order was an exile, and life
and property were the playthings of the
hour. Darkness is on the city-a great
victory has been won-'Americans rule
America"
All this must have an end, and it is
to the fifth act of tho tragedy that we
look with the saddest apprehension
Unchain the winds and you blow the
world away. Break down the wholesome
restraints of law--give bonus to the
whatever isignorantand ferocious
harken on to murder and rapine, and
you carry an election by seven or seventy
thousand, as you will-but the end is not
yet. The spirits you have raised to-day
abandon and destroy you tomorrow.
That is poetic justice at least, but it is a
sight we care not TO look upon. Most
sincerely do we trust, that the new Mayor
may be equal to the arduous duties Of
his task, and bring back to our great
and beautiful city the precious blessings
of peace and the manifold benefits Of
regulated law.

TIE SHADOW ON THE Pillow. -The
following incident was communicated by
Sir John Mcneil:
"a Highland soldier had his arm so
severely wounded that it was about TO DO
amputated, when Miss Nightingale re-
questcd the operation be delayed, as she
thought that under careful nursing the
arm might be preserved. BY her un-
RENTING care this was accomplished,
and the poor soldier, on being asked
what he felt towards his preserver, said
that the only mode he had Of giving vent
to his feelings was by kissing her shadow
when it fell on his pillow as she passed
through the ward on her nightly visit.

1t is very substantially made, with heavy
wrought iron hnger-beam, serrated sickle-edged
Cutter, very seldom requiring to be ground !;
the Reel draws up the grain to the Sickle, land
ing it admirably on the platform to the Rakcr's

Of stubble from one inch to fourteen without
moving a bolt. 1t does its work perfectly and
equally So whether the grain be heavy or light
tangled or fallen, wet or dry, and at any rate
Of speed
In Moving, the Reel effectually clears the

preventing the sickle from choking leaving the
grass beautifully spread for curing, and requir-

Away with such nonsense, men and wo-

CONFIDENCE IN ONE's SELF When u
crisis befalls you, and the emergency re-
quires moral courage and noble manhood
to meet it, be equal to the demands of
the moment and rise superior to the OBJ
stacles in your path. The universal
testimony of men whose experience ex-
actly comedies with yours furnishes the
consoling reflection that difficulties may
be ended by opposition. There is no
blessing equal to the possession of stout
heart. The magnitude of the danger
needs nothing more than greater effort
than ever at your hands. If you prove
recreant in the hour of trial you arc
the worst of recreants, and deserve no
compassion. Be not dismayed nor I'M
manned when you should Be bold and
daring, unhinching and resolute. The
cloud whose threatening and murmurs
you hear with fear and dread is pregnant
with blessings, and the frown whose
sternness now makes you shudder and
trcmble, will ere long be succeeded by
smile of bewitching sweetness and benig-
nifty. Then be strong and manly, OPP
pose equal forces to open difficulty, keep
a stiff upper lip, and trust in Providence.
Greatness can only be achieved by those
who are tried. The condition Of that
achievement is confidence in ones self.
