Democracy. The Ticket has proved entirely
acceptable; we have not heard the slightest disN
satisfaction expressed against it, but on the
contrary, it is the very general expression-a
better one could not very we'll have been made.
The gentlemen who compose it "stand square
with the people, their antecedents are good,
and the community have confidence in them
No usurious scars disfgure them, and the work
ing men, as well as the people generally, can
have no fear in entrusting them with office. We
are gratifed to learn Of the hearty reception OF
our ticket by the people; it affords an indica
zion of success this fall 1t now remains for
the Democracy to keep in the right spirit, for il
they will but keep the ball rolling. and come
out to the polls on the day of election, we will
surely carry our whole ticket. We thus early
speak of the full vote of the Democracy, 80 that

Improvements in woodland.

Those who have not been at Woodland
Cemetery for some time past will be surpris-
ed at the work Of improvement going on
there. The Carriage Avenue, ,enoircling the
Cemetery, is more than twothirds completed,
and will be when finished decided feature
of the place. Two gangs Of hands are
employed upon the work, and are engaged to
the best advantage. There are two carts
and eight hands in charge Of the Sexton, Mr..
Lane, and six carts and ten hands under the
supervision Of Mr.. Elkins. The former are
at work on the road in the North west part
Of tho Cemetry, and the latter are engaged
in the South east The whole work is in
charge of Mr. Lane, who is competent to dii
rect it. lhe cutters, at the side Of the road
are being made, and are already completed
from the commencement Of the avenue, at
the left of the main entrance as, far up as
the Odd Fellows lot. A competent force Of
PAYERS is engaged at this work. The Ave-
nue. is expected to be completed in about
three weeks, when Woodland will present a
new and attractive appearance to visitors. -
This encircling avenue is just what is res
quired 20 place Woodland on footing with
the pretliest cemeteries in the world. This
great work is oreditable to the Directors who
projected it, and to the gentleman to whose
charge it was entrusted.
We observed, also, that recently a great
many lots have been adorned with monu>
ments and grave stones, evincing not only
regard for the memory of the departed, but
a great deal of good taste. We are justly
proud of our "City of the Dead" 1t is not,
we are informed by travelled visitors, ,surpasr
sed by any other in the world in all the esr
sentials and beauties of burial place.

THE AUSTRIAN CAVALRY.

No power can boast such a body OF
cavalry as Austria. 1t is enormous in
number. The horses are excellent,
well bred, handy, active and coura-
gcous. The men are bold riders, good
swordsmen, and, better still, are the
right weight, and are recruited in
great part from two of the greatest
equestrian nations in the world, the
Poles and Hungarians. In her ser.
vice the monstrosily, so often witness
ed in France, of giant of two hun
dreA pounds weight, laden with arms
and accou trements, astridc OF IA beast
not much bigger than himself, is never
witnessed.
In short, the Austrian uhlan or hus-
sar is the model light cavalry man of
the world; small, light, wiry, active.
interchangeable, rider from his cradle,
his bride in his heels, and his hand,
eyes and heart on his sabre, indeiati-
gable in the march, swift, in the
charge, everywhere by turns, and no
where long. 1t may be almost said
that the Hungarian hussar, now that
the Turkish spahi is Il thing Of the
past, is the only light cavalry, in fact,
the only cavalry in existence. His
cuts are as fatal and sure as other
mems lhrusts. His horse is part of
himself; riding and fighting are his
pastime. In former days he was the
glory and boast of the Austrian army.
Those gay swarms Of hardy little men
which it shot from its sides on the
march were it's surest aids in victory,
its best safeguards in defeat.
All this, however, goes down before
the Enfield rifle and the Armstrong
gun. Let the horse be ever so swift
the sabre ever so sharp, or the rider
ever so bold, the conical ball is TOO
much for him. A charge OF cavalry
upon a body ofproperly armed ,nian'
try bids fair to be henceforwaru lih-
possible. Two hundred yards has
been fixed by the best authority as the
proper charging distance and in by.
gone days it was only at two hundred
yards that the fire of a square began
TO tell and saddles to be emptied.-
But nowadays the iron rain patters
on the horsemen before they get with
in half o mile Of the foe.

PROBABILITY OF MARRYING.


A table inserted in a paper in the
Assurance Magazine, exhibits results
of a rather startling character. In
the first two quenquenial periods, 20
25 and 25 80, the probability OF a wild
over marrying in yearis three times
as great as that of a bhchelor; at 30
is nearly four times as great; from 80
to As it is five times as great; and in
creases until at 60 the chance of a
widower marrying in year is eleven
times as great as that of u bachelor.
1t is curious TO remark, from this table,
how confirmed either class becomes
in its condition Of lle--how little
likely, after few years, is a bachelor
to break through his settled habits and
solitary condition; and. on the other
hand, how readily y in proportion does
Il husband contract second marri-
age who has been deprived prema-
turely Of his first partner. After the
age Of 80, the probability of a bache-
lor marrying in year diminishcs in a
most rapid ratio. The probability at
35 is not much more than half at 80,
and nearly the same proportion exists
between each quinquenial period af-
terWard.

She was kind without being trouble.
some And while few people lived
more comfortably, none were more
economical.
The result ofsuch management can
never disappoint the reasonable cX-
pcctalions of those who build upon
them. Even the angry irown ofmis'
fortune is put at defiance. Vantage
ground is gained, which the storm
seldom reaches; and a reward comes
in its proper time to crown. The mu-
sic Of Harrys tools were in full play
the morning that | left the village for
distant residence. 1t was not yet
sunrise. and as the coach bore us by
the residence Of the villagcr, saw the
door was open and the breakfast
smoking upon the table. Mary, in
her morning dress and white apron,
blooming in health and loveiness, was
busy amid her household affairs, and
a stranger who happened to be my
lcllowpassengcr to the city, observing
it, said,-"Ihere's thriving family,
my word for it, And he spoke well.
There are certain things working
right, that cannot be mistaken by the
most casual observer.
On my return to Alcsbury many
years afterwards, | noticed II beautis
lul country residence on the banks of
the river surrounded by all the clc-
gancc Of wealth and taste. Richly
cultivated fields spread themselves
out on every side as far as the eye
could reach; llocks and herds were
scattered in every dire ction. 1t was
a splendid sccnc-the sun was just
setting beyond the western hills, and
while a group Of neatly dressed chill

made a noble fortune by his industry

Mary mutually give each other the

An ITEM FOR BoYs.-It is one of
the bese,ting suns of the young men
in this extravagant age, to endeavor
to get rid of work by seeking for easy
and lazy employment--and the con.
sequence is; that many of them turn
out worthless vagabonds. Boys,
avoid this whirlpool as you would
plague spot, Danish from you the dan.
gerous desire 10 live without work.
Labor is honorable, dignilied; it is the
parent of health, wealth, and happi-
ness look upon it as an invaluable
blessing, and never as burden, a
curse. Shun idleness and sloth; pur.
sue some honest calling, and be no,
ashamed to be useful.

UoRRoRs OF WAR.--"l see women
to-day" says Paris letter writer,
"half mad, running about Paris to
know what has become of their hus-
bands and brothers. They who have
relatives in McMahon's division are
distracted with anxiety, and hang
about the Ministry Of War with a
horrible apprehension. The Emperor
lets the telegraph tell no tales but
what he likes. No private communi.
cations from the seat of war are al
lowed. The first a wife knows of the
loss of a husband is from official
sources"

THE LOUD AND THE SILENT.

THE LOUD AND THE SILENT.
The loud tongue is not always the
sign OF large heart; neither is it just
to esteem that man callous to all finer
Impressions, because you have never
seen him in fits, consequent on some
alleged case Of trouble. We remem-
Der an instance that bore out our con.
viction, in this respect, to the very
utmost. The report having gonc
around of dire calamity, "a report
perfectly correctly among some TWEEN;
ty persons were couple whose sep.
crate expressions on the occasion
were by 40 means similar. One gen.
tleman was loud in his grie(---wrung
his hands, and almost tore his hair
money must be raised for the afllc-
ted" he exclaimed; yes, money!
And he quilted, with his hand on the
pocket ofhs vest, every body thought
intent on the work of charity. There
was another gentleman in the room.
He said nothing, and remained quite
undisturbed in feature. Presently,
however, he made his exit; but, the
following day, it oozed out that he had
been untirins in his endeavors to find
the sufferers by the recent calamity,
and, finding them, had subscribed no.
bly, toward fund for their perfect re-
lief. 1t also transpircd that the other
gentleman had given--nothing!

THEY SAY.

A more sneaking, cowardly, fen
dish liar than They Say" does not
exist That person is a universal
soapegoat for personal gossip, envy,
and malice; without form of flesh
and blood, when invoked, and yet
stalking boldly in every community
The character is myth, and yet
real; Intangible, and yet clutching
its poisoned arrows from day to day,
And no mail is proof no character,
position, or sex escapes; no sanctuary
is too sacred; no home is bulwarked
against its assaults. When one base
heart wishes to a>Hnil some persons
character, or motives, then "They
Say" is invoked. That is the assas-
sin who strikes in the crowd; the
Thug who haunts the footsteps Of the
offender and tortures from careless
word or deed an excuse for the stilet-
to. Men dare not always reveal their
own feelings. With smiles and pre-
tended Friendship they present the en-
venomcd shaft AS coming from "They
Say" Ee sure. reader, that when
some vilIainous tale is told to you, and
the rclator cannot give an author
more tangible than "They Say" for
it, that the s!ander is the creation Of
the heart by your side, and recking
with the poison Of hatred and envy,
and earnest with a wish 10 have the
falschood Of "Thcy Say" bud into re-
ality, and become current coin in the
community.
"They say" we repeat, is as cow
aldIy as it is false and fend;sh; a
phantom creation which smiles while
letting loose a brood of vipcrs to crawl
in your path and blast by their venom.
To retail the stories Of They Say"
is to sneak behind an intangible per.
sonage, and put in circulation the in
infamous inuendoeS and calumnes
which, from raw material, are forged
nearer home.
If, AND HIS PROGENY.
If every one were honest, we need
not lock our doors.
If everybody would mind just his
own business, there would be more
business done.
If we would talk less about other
people, otter people would talk less
about US.
II there were fewer novels in the
world, there were would be fewer
numscuIls.
If the mistress would scold less,
she would have less need of scolding.
If you often charge servants with
lying, they will soon become liars, if
they are not so already.
If students would read less, and
think more, there would be larger
number of really great men in our
community.
If young ladies -a'days did not
become women at thirteen, men would
have better wives.
II You want to get rich, work hard
and spend little.
If you want to render your husband
unhappy, blame him for everything
he does, right or wrong; scold him for
doing this or that. before you know
whether he did it.
