HARMONY OF PARrrEs.-We have heard v

HARMONY OF PARTIEs.-We have heard very
consistent democrat express apprehension that
over ambition of individuals may occasion party
disruption. We think there is but little occasion
for such apprehension. 1t is commendable for
any citizen to desire preierment; ambition, sub
mssive to popular will is always admirable Let
every individual desiring Office, make known his
wishes, modestly; at the convention his claims
and fitness will be considered; if he is not the
popular choice and yet good democrat, he will
retire and wait another occasion. This is the
genius of democracy-submisson to the will Of
the majority. People elect delegates; these del
cgates select from numerous candidates, and then
the people ratify those selections. Could nything
be fairer? 1t will not do TO say that wire pnl-
lers'' control conventions; do not permit them to
do so; attend the primary meetings; have a voice
and assert your rights; choose men who will rep
resent you properly; lay down your shovel aud
pick and for little time attend to your duties
as citizens. And having properly chosen dele
gates, abide by their decision; if you have selec-
ted wrong, the fault is your own submit to the
majority; thisis democracy. If all your personal
preferences are not satisfied, do not bolt, or you
are factionist, not a democrat.
We will assert that the complaint Of prevailing
wire-pullers' is idle; prerent them from pulling;
take an interest yourself, attend primary meet
meetings, assert your rights, claim republican
equality and speak your opinion. There if your
preferences are not satisfied, you are in the minor
'fy, and if you bolt or encourage division you
are no democrat at all-and {" you won't do to
bet on" We do not charge a cent for this ad vice.
and if you do not adopt it, it will not cost us half
the money

SCARLET CoLoR.-Some years since sturdy
Highlander went into dry goods store in the
city of Perth, (Scotand,) and inquired in such
broken English as he could command, for piece
of scarlet flannel. The clerk in attendance, who
was mighty spruce young man, thought, as
there were several young ladies present, he
would have some sport at the expense of the
honest Celt. Accordingly mimickng the man
nor and tone Of his customer, he asked him if he
would know scarlet flannel if he saw it, at the
same time throwing down piece of blue flannel.
The Highlander responded, Dat no be scarlet"
Next down came piece of white flannel. The
Highlander by this time understanding the clerk s
object, told him that he could tell scarlet by the
smell, and asked the clerk to test it in that way.
In order to keep up the joke, the clerk held down
his head TO the goods to apply the Celt's test,
when the latter sezing him by the ears, raped
his head against the counter until the blood
flowed freely, and then quietly remarking, " dat
be dc scarlet color" coolly walked OFF, SOnoma

CoNTENTMENT.-No wise, thoughtful person will
sigh for contentment, any more than Tor the phi
losopher's stone. Happiness depends upon a
condition of unrest. The blisslul emotions are
all agitations. If the ocean of our lives were
never rippled by breeze, nor tossed by storms
of passion, we should lie useless huks ON its sur
face, never reaching any harbor Of desire, but
idly rotting till we sank below forever. Move
must keep plunging before the wind, courting
every breath with our sails Of effort, and dashn g
gallantly through opposing waves. Then, we
shall take and discharge rich cargoes, and make
our course blessing; and if we sink amid con-
flicting elements, shall carry with us freight of
precious opinion, and be long remembered for our
worth and usefulness.

KHuzIsTAN IN PERsIA.-The animals of this
country are jackals aud hyenas, which are very
numerous, and their nightly bowngs great
annoyance. Anteopes and gazeles are numer-
ous, and the winged songsters are the same that
are found in southern Europe Locusts, all sorts
of lizards and insects, and venomous reptiles are
found in great abundance. This is the country
also, of the camel and of the wild ass, the wild
boar and the lion. "The wild ass of the wilder
ness that snueth up the wind at her pleasure" is
beautiful creature, and so swift in her native
wlds that she can be caught only by relays OF
horses and dogs.-Dr. Scott.

that The "course oi aipeA friend SAYS to US
watched as election approaches" Well we are
glad of it, Those who scrutinizc closely will
discover that we shall write just what we think
right and true. We shall not improperly mcddle
in the canvass, or depart from what we consider
independence Of speech. Let no one expect OF
fear political aid or hindrance from this paper.
We shall define our understanding of "inde-
pendence': 1t is permission to speak of matters
Of common interest in print as we should expect
leave TO speak in the street. Perception Of pro-
pricty enables us to keep out Of partisan discus
sions; but on measures that concern all we may
give individual opinion. 1t may occur, and,
doubtless, has occurred that many persons per-
haps one half of our readers, hold opinions
different from ours, on certain subjects. Is that
strange? Is it at all important Does it interfere
with the real purpose Of the journal which is
intended, mainly, for a newspaper? SO far as we
can, our opinions are supported by argument; if
hat fails to convince, the reader can retain his
own conclusions and be- in no respect, injured by
ours.
So long as we write for n newspaper, our hon.
est convictions will be expressed I" without let OF
hindrance;" no individual may in any manner
interfere with that expression unless his right!
are invaded; and when we fail to obtain con
siderable number of readers, the transition Il
some other occupation is particularly easy.

The DEATH OF WIFE.-The death of n mans
glare Of the WoTd d0$ % az m s4gfat 95 oak that has
tudes, falls upon the old wdower's heart, and
there is nothing to break their force, or shield
him from the full weight of misfortune 1t is as
if his right hand was withcred, as if one wing of
his eagle was broken, and every movement that
he made brought him to the ground. His eyes
are dimmcd and CLASSY, and when the film of
death falls over him, he misses those accustomed
tones which might have smoothed Als passage 10
the grave.--Ldmarfine.

THE Northern Californian angrily reproves us
for designating il as the &" Unontown" or " Hum
boldti Cdl,fornidn, and believes that we repeat
edly did so to insult. We beg TO assure our
excellent coemporary that no disrespect was
designed or thought of the miscaling was made
because the Northern Californian, being a new
journal, many Of our own readers might not be
aware of its place of publication; so we dropped
the " Northern" and supplied Unontown" or
humboldt" But we declare that no intention
TO be offensive, or 10 belittle the paper was enter
tained.
1t grieves us to have unintentionally vcxcd a
coworker whom respect; hence we take es-
pecial pains TO apologize, hoping that friendly
relations" will not be destroyed by SO slight "a
mistake.

OLD FRIENDs.--lt is best to cling to old friends
Bear with their infrmities. Pardon their offences
II a cloud comes between you, sweep it away by
frank confession or free forgiveness. If through
misunderstanding or perverseness your friends
heart grows cold towards you melt him down by
the warmth and sincerity OF your own friendship.
Pursue this course, and you will never lose a
friend that is worth ng.--Pacife Methodis
