Tue EyIL or A BAD TEMPER A bad
temper is a curse to the possessor, and
its influence is most deadly wherever it
is found. 1t is allied to martyrdom to
be obliged to live with ono of com
planning temper TO hear one eternal
round of complaint and murmuring, to
have every pleasant thought scared away
by their evil spirit, is sore trial. 1t is
like the sting Of scorpion--a perpetual
nettle, destroying your peace, rendering
life burden. It's influence is deadly /;
and the purest and sweetest atmosphere
is contaminated into a deadly miasma
wherever this evil genius prevails. 1t
has been said truly, that while we ought
not to let the bad temper Of others inhu-
enco us, it would be as reasonable to
spread blister upon the skin, and not
expect it to draw, as to think of fami-
" not suffering because of the bad tenn
per of any one of its inmates. One
string ont of tune will destroy the music
Of an instrument otherwise perfect; so
if all the members Of church, neigh
borhood, or family, do not cultivate
kind aud aiectionate temper, there will
be discord and every evil work,

Convention of Progressive BaohelOrs'
The progressive bachelors Of Della
ware held State convention at Smyrna.
ON tho 26th instant. There were about
sixty delegates present, and Il II. Cum
Minis, ESD, presided After an able
address from A r Wooten, Esq, reso-
lutpns were adopted to the effect that
the institution Of marriage is of divine
origin and Of national interest, but that
the cXtrayuganeo Of the times is a scri-
GUS obstacle to an entrance into the mar
riogc relation Alliances for pecuniary
advancement, or with idoas Of aristoora-
tic family antiquity, are declared to DO
destructive Of the finer feelings and af-
fcctions which make the happy home,
and ultra fashions and cold formalitics
hindrancos to the development Of real
worth Modern ''womcn's rights and
fast young men" are condemned. and a
radical reform in the present social sys-
ten which engonders extravaganza and
Incidence is proclaimed to be all i'm
/ portant.
After the adjournment the members of
the convention sat down to sumptuous
banquet, and here are a few "bachelor"
toasts drank on the occasion:

The Sentinel charges Mr.. Hobart with
being in favor of the Wilmot Proyiso, in
1913. So was Randall. 1t says that Mr..
Hobart now stands by the Fugitive Slave
law-so did Randall in 1852, and made a
speech in this city, defending it; and in
1853, applied to President Pierce to ap-
point him U. S. District Attorney for this
State, in order that he might assist Judge
Miller in executing it. The President de-
clined his proffered services, and it pro-
badly chilled his ardor, as he next appear
ed upon the political stage as an advocate
of the Maine law, which he abandoned as
soon as he found it unpopular, and is said
now to "smile" more regularly than he
prays, notwithstanding his tervent zeal for
the spiritual welfare of the Light Guard
and the Sabbath Schools. Randall's re-
cord might be chronologically presented,
as follows:
1S4S, Free soil; 40, veering; 80 ma
tional democrat, and soliciting democra-
tic nomination for member of Congress,
which he did not get, and so he bolted FL
more, and went for Uurkee.
81, Came back to the democratic party
and took a deep interest in the State Con
vention, which nominated Mr. Upham.
'52, Supported Pierce and the comprom-
ise measures of 1850, including the Fugi
tive Slave law, which hetook especial pains
to endorse and defend.
'53, Applied to Pierce for an appoint
ment-didn't get it, and voted in the Fall
for Pratt's celebrated Stallion, Badger
State, in order to show his contempt of
the conventions and candidates that year.
IIolton was the candidate of one party ,aud
Barstow of the other. Randall was pro-
badly at that time in the transition State,
changing from butterfly to caterpillar,
or from a polliwog to toad. He was too
far out of the democratic party to vote for
Barstow, and not far enough in the repub-
lican party to vote for Holton.
"a, He supported Daniel Wells for
Congress, against Judge Spooner, and was
himself elected to the Legislature as a
Maine Law candidate.
'55, The Republicans nominated him for
Attorney General, and the people refused
to ratify it.
'56, He supported Fremont.
'57, Was nominated for Governor;cheat-
ed Pump Carpenter; and followed it up by
cheating all who trusted him.
80, Sent his resignation to the Speaker
of the Assembly. Withdrew it and went
in for re nomination. Obtained it and
now asks for a re election.-lNl. Nc1cS.

A Sad Domestic Story.

In the Palmer (Mass.) Journal of the 81
ult., in the obituary column we find the
following announcement: "Died-Mav
Goth. wife of De Witt Clinton Packard Of
Providence, K. l." We also find the fol-
lowing editorial paragraphs which it would
seem, have relation to the announce
ment:
| In another column we record the death
ofa young lady who died of a broken
heart. We do not like to trespass upon the
sacredness of domestic grief to unfold the
details of her sad story, but when the pri-
vacy of affiiction becomes public feeling it
is not improper for the press to place the
event on record. 1t is not necessary to
repeat names or relate minute particulars.
1t is enough that we draw the outlines of
a picture forthe reader to paint with appro-
pirate colors
Many months ago. in the neichboring
town of Belchertown, a young man sought
| and received the promise of the hand of Il
young lady, whose home was in the lap OF
luxury, whose mental and personal attrac-
tions made all pleasant around her Like
too many contiding ones of her sex, she
trusted mans unhallowed promise and
trusted all to him. From that hour he es-
tranged himself from her, and soon remov-
ed to distant State. When ii became
evident that he had exposed himself to the
penalty of the law, at the request of her
friends he visited her to fulfil the vows he
had long before made. They were mar
rled in one of those hasty uncercmonious
ways which occupy but little time or at
tention. Late in the evening they return
ed to her fathers house where he left her
in the street, promising to return in short
time. Butthat promise was never fulfilled.
She wrote to him and received ENCOURAGE
ment that he would soon provide home
for her, but delay followed delay, till her
letters and entreaties were unheeded and
unanswered tlength apledge of woman's
love to her husband came intothc word TO
open new fountainsof affection to the Young
wife. Still the husband and father came
not.
The mother recovered from confinement
but, after repeated letters to her husband
found no answer, the idea that she was de-
serted by him, forced itself upon her, and
she gave way to dependency and despair
The child, partaking of its mothers grief,
soon died. There was nothing more that
she could live for; and though suffering
from no disease, she sank upon a dying
bed. Then the swift wing of lightning
bore to the distant husband the intelligence
that she was dying. He still hesitated
but at length set out to meet bis expiring
wife. Conscious that her hours were few,
she only wished to live long enough to sec
her husband-he was still all to her Her
last words to her friends were-"TelI him
that still love him--that died for him"
When evening shadowed the earth, the
husband came. As he approached the
bedside of his injured wife, he was recogniz.
ed, and the words "He's come ~ bust
from her lips. Already had the wing of
the angel of death east its shadow over
that dwelling, and she was entering the
diinnes5 Of the LAX valley. Next NOM

Avoiding the Responsibility.

Brother Noel was "sore troubled at the
scandal Brother Crump brought upon him
self by drinking too much, and especially
regretted the injury it brought to society
a, Sharon. So one morning he stepped
over to Brother Crump's, and found the
old man in doze in the little porch.

Crump, as soon as he was made aware OF
the presence of his neighbor. "Why,yes,
I'm not agin dram when body wants
it" Brother CrumP got his bottle, and the
friends took dram apiece. Don't you

Right Kind of Sewing Machine

Sewing machines are all the rage just
now; and good one is a very useful 'in-
stltution" IN the family circle. 4 young
friend Of ours says of all the "sewing ma
chimes" extant he prefers
Zone Of the kind that a man can love,
Thai wears 8 shawl and soft kid glove,
has the nerrisss eye and dainty foot,
And sports the charmir gest gaiser boot;
And bonnet with feathers ribbons and loops
With az indefinite number of hoops.
"One that can dance, and-possibly-fir
And make 8 pudding well as a shirt
One that can sing withou. dropping stitch,
And play the housewife, lady or witch
Ready to give the ssgest advice,
And do up our collars and things so nice
I'VE Ike that sort that can laugh and talk,
And take our arm for Al evening walk;
That will do whatever the owner may choose,
With the slightest perceptble turn of the
screws,
'Tn the cleveress th ing that ever was seen,
Our wonderful family sewing machine"
