The editress of the Ashland Keatuck-
ion, who by the by is represented to be a
handsome young widow. in response to a
suggestion that she did not wear hoops,
says: Hoops indeed why. we don't wear

We would advise the fair editress, under
such circumstances, to remove to very
warm climate, and to be careful, even then,
not to locate in mosquito country.-Bol-

We don't much fancy your advice, Mr..
Courier, and think such step extremely
hazardous. for, should the fair widow be so
unfortunate as to locate in gallinipper re-

that he had made out two lists, one of q
considerable number of farmers, and the
other of merchants, starting with fair pros

part by their own hands, and this under the
comparatively imperfect system of agricul-

the other to take their chances in the lotte-
ry of commerce. At the end of the term
for which the comparison was made, the
farmers were the more prosperous body
None of them had become very rich-a few
only had wholly failed in life, and those few
from causes not essentially connected with

Lord John Russell on Washington

LORD John Russell on washington
n The first volume of the "Life and times
of Charles J. Cox by Lord John Russell,
has jus appeared in England. The follow
ing is his Lordship's tribute to Washing
tom: es1 .. -
Before taking leave of the American War,
few words may be allowed on topic where
there can be but little difference of opinion.
George Washington, without the genius of
julius Cesar or Napoleon Bonapart, has a
far purer fame, as his ambition was of a
higher and a hoher nature. Instead of
seeking to raise his own name, or seize su-
preme power, he devoted his whole talents,
military and civil, to the establishment of
the independence and perpetuity of the lib
critics of his own country. In modern his
tory no man has done such great things
without the soil of selfshness, or the stain
of groveling ambition. Cesar. Crom-
well, Napoleon attained higher elevation.
but the love of dominion was the spur that
urged them on. John Hampden, William
Russell. Algernon Sydeny. may have had
motives as pure, and an ambition unstained;
but they fell. To George Washington
nearly alone in modern times, has it been
given to accomplish wonderful revolution
and yet to remain to all future times, the
theme of peoples gratitude, and an exam
pie of virtuous and benefcient power.

FRANKEEss.-Be frank with the world
Frankness is the child of honesty and cour-
age. Say just what you mean to do on ev-
cry occasion; and take for granted you
mean to DO what's right. IF friend asks
a favor, you should grant it, if it is reason
able; if not, tell him plainly why you can
not You will wrong him and yourself
by equivocation of any kind. Never do a
wrong thing 10 make friend, nor to keep
one; the man who requires you to do SO is
dearly purchased at sacrifice. Deal kind
ly with all men: you will find it the poll
cy which wears best. Above all, don't ap-
pear to others what you are not. If you
have any fault to find with any one, tell
him, not others, of what you complain
There is no more dangerous experiment
than that of undertaking TO be one thing to a
mans face and another behind his back
We should live, act and speak out of doors,
as the phrase is, and say and do what we
are willing should be known and read by
men. 1t is not only best as a matter OF
principle, but as matter of policy.

Ny Understanding IN His Footsteps.
It appears that Louis Napoleon left Paris
for the army of tally on the 9Th of May.
Napoleon set out for his Italian campaign,
which terminated so gloriously on the field
of Aarengo. The perseverance, with which
the present Emperor of France treais in
the footsteps of his uncle and follows him
in his career is remarkable. The elder Ma
poleon obtained supreme power IN France
by dispensing the representatives. of the
people by military force. So did the youn-
ger. The anniversary of the latter coup d
etat is the Cd of December, the day On
which was fought the Battle Of Austerlitz
by the former The elder Napoleon was
first elected ruler of France for ten years,
and was then chosen Emperor. The youn-
per Napoleon passed through the same gra-
dations precisely. The elder Napoleon frst
took the command of the French troops in
Italy The younger viii initiate his exam
pie. The day for their setting out for the
seat of war is, in both instances, the 9th of
May. Napoleon. had his treaty of ALI
anee with Russia, by which the two powers
agreed to partition the Continent between
them. Napoleon. III has undoubtedly
formed similar treaty. Napoleon first
put an end to the French Republic. So
did Napoleon III. The family of Napole-
on I consisted of the Empress and one
child. This is exactly the family of Napo-
leon III. Napoleon restored France to
the Catholic religion. Napoleon III restor-
ed the Pope of Rome to his dominion. 8 A
brother of Napoleon was associated with
the Empress Maria Louisa in the Regency
when the Emperor set ont for the war. A
brother of Napoleon I is associated with
Eugenie, the Empress of Napoleon III, in
the Council of State upon the happening of
the same contingency. Napoleon I was
imprisoned six years on the Island of st.
Helena. Napoleon III was imprisoned six
years in the Fortress of Ham, These sim
ilarities do look something like the ''star of
