other than the spiritual wants, of the
wives of some of their laymen, eloped
with others, drank brandy slings, whisky
punches &c. and committed various other
excuses not very becoming in those
who preach and pretend to practice
Christianity. And yet they are the moral
honest and respectable party, that were
going to do away with corruption, immor-
ality and vice, for which the Tribune
with its long, hypocritical face dictated
policy, and which set up the three thou
sand clergymen as emblems OF the purity
and virtue of the same. The fallen
ones referred to, with their free-love and
free negro principles, are fit and true
emblems.

Il The New York "Herald' gives
the foIlowingrefreshing sketch of repub-
licanism, as known and practised in the
Empire state:
"One praise is certainly due to the
Republicans of the state. They are,
without question, the most corrupt set
of politicians we ever had. We have
had a good many corrupt parties and
party leaders in this state ; but a party
so ready to sacrifice every consideration
of public welfare and abstract justice
to private plans as these Republicans we
never had before, and We do most earn
estly hope we shall never have again.

other questions, ii is easer asked than an

tongues where it has gone to. Now it is in
Minnesota, in land speculations--now tits in

stocks pledged for Seneca county Bank and
located, in part, in New York-now it is
sambled away by Cones & Co., in the faro

itis in Seneca county, building up the town
and banking institutions of the city of Tiffin,
Thus rumor localizcs, or rather de.localizes,

But one thing is certain, over. $547 900, ex-

Symptoms oG First Love.

When you and Master Jack suddenly re-
fuse, one morning, to play marbles any more
forever, be sure that Master Jack is seized
with his first love.
When you find in Master Jacks bedroom
sundry greasy bottles, with yellow bear in
blue forest on the table, which--the label,
not the bear--informs you that the contents
of the bottle is. an ungaent thai makes the
moustach6s grow, you may be sure that
Master Jack is seized with his first love.
If Jack becomes satirical, and alludes 10
scornful terms to the world, be sure Jacks
first love has just sProuted. 80

Jacks clothes, be sure Jacks far gone in
his first love.
II you find a pair of patent feathers CONF
ing home from your shoemaker's on Satur-
day afternoon, and can't remember ordering
them, and they don't fit any one but Jack,
don't blame him. First love is responsible.
Ifyou see Jacks finger ends rather inky,
and scraps Of an acrostic any where around,
be assured that first love has caused the
spelling of some good stationery. -,
Finally, if Jack is suffering from his, 6rst

above all don't meet the complaint. .with too
strong remedies, lest it strike IA and Jack

have it, and it is best to have young. ,siz
