Democracy.

Is there, says a contemporary, word in
our language that has the magic ring Of
our noble watchword, DEMocRAcY? 1t
touches at once every chord Of our being
because in itself it comprises all the best
men have dreamed, all the greatest sages
have thought, all that the highest flights of
human reason have reached. Itepitomzes
all the results Of the painful InbOrs of man
kind from the rude attempts Of savage ig-
nOrance to the beautiful fabric Of civilian
ton. 1t is like brilliant pinnacle perched
on high and rugged hill, up which strug-
Cling millions have toiIed. and still are toll,
ing. Democracy-the rights Of the peo-
pie! Not the rights of individuals; not
the rights Of cast, or class, or section, bat
the rights of all, including each. Nothing
selfish, partial, limited, but the full recog-
milton Of each ones claim, the unfettered
development OF each ones faculties, the uu-
restricted enjoyment of each ones rights.
This is Democracy. Is it wonderful that
its trumpet sounds wake mankind from the
sleep Of lethargy, that at its echoes the
ramparts of prejudice, the strong Businesses
of tyranny and fanAticism are earthquake
shaken, totter and fallY Was so potent a
name ever inscribed on any banner, a name
that in itself betokens victory? The party
that owns this banner, must be national, it
will be universal Il is born from no local
passion, from no selfish interest, from no
personal prejudice, from no transient expe-
dent or passing cause, its vital spark is an
external truth. 1t claims nothing at the
expense of others, it stands upon the i'm
mutable foundation Of truth aud Justice
Even those that oppose il are loath to sun
der every bond. Those that leave it re-
pent and return. Democracy is the pride
of our land; it is that which makes it the
shining beacon to mankind, the star Of
hope to present and future generations A
Not our shipping that dots every sea, not
our fertile bonndless lands, not our inyen-
tions and gigantic strides. make us the
wonder Of the world. These are but the
offspring, the practical manifestation Of the
great principle embodied in our party name
--the rights of the. people, the rights of
all. .a5..T' .liE 91.ria.3 ri isu'l se
Can the most prolific brain invent a just
cause thatis not embraced inits protesting
armsY Is there wrong against which it
has no weapons? That noble tree, which
grows only in the richest soil, the young
roots of which are fed with the blood Of
patriot men, that noble tree extends its
shetering branches over everything that Is
good and just, but wrong and error cannot
live within its realm. The party which
watched over the birth .oflths nation,
which sat by its cradle, which reared il 10
youthful manhood b that party shall be is
guardian angel so long as Providence has
decreed to pr6iong It's days. Let DO rash
imaginings, no impatient ariork seduce the
unwary from a brotherhood wheh1has ever
been faithful 10 its trustIl Letsino one
rashly condemn When the resultshaye been
SO grand, and abandon The bright lights Of
the past for the ftfdl will-o'-tke-Nisps Of the
present. - BanMer Of 2Bibertyg 2''alpa gap

CRoUP-The Journal of Health, a publ

the following simple cure for Group:
If child is taken with the Group, apply
cold water-ice water, if possible sudden.
ly and freely to the neck and chest with o
sponge. The breathing will instantly be
relieved. Soon as possible, let the sufferer
drink as much as it can then wipe it dry;
cover it up warm, and soon a quiet sIumber

the heart to thankfuldess to the Power
which has given to the gushing fountain

OLD BAcHELoRs.-We acknowledge to
q liking, not exactly for the institution Of
old bachelors, but for mauy species who
compose the.genus Of what is called the
Uniottunale.n Doubtless, marriage and
home-love and home-ties are great Soften
ets Of the she'll Of selfshness, which is prone
to gather over the heart Of humanity, es-
pecially over those hearts that are never
pressed SO clase to another's as to seem as

- "With one pulse beating" .....
The man who has never had the kindly
affections of his nature called forth by the
ties Of family, is very apt to centre his
thoughts and feelings around his own espe-
cial sen, and to lose that sympathy with
his feIlow.nan which Is the basis of all true
and elevated happiness.
But there are men who have never mar
ried, and whose hearts are yet as warm as
though they had been kept so by pillowing
upon them little heads with curls like those
that, threaded with silver, lie on their own
temples. We have all seen such NEIL
men with broad, catholic benevolence; men
who seem TO regard the whole world as
their family; who were teuderly respectful
and chi,alrous to women who patted the
heads and gave sugar plums to- oil little
bare-fOoted children, helped aaxen-haired
girls with their composition, and assisted
sun-browned boys to puzzle out the prob
lens in Algebra. Such men are called
uncle" by the little folks, and that dear,
good soul" by women. Their marriage
would be public misfortune.
