There will be warm contest this fall
between the two great principles Of good
aud evil in the coming election. Pres
COLI Democrat.
We agree with you BIO. WISE, and we
are reminded by your assertion of q little
conversation we once heard.
We were talking politics with a staunch
Republican, and a bright little boy Of
some ten summers was a listener. AT
length he looked up eagerly and enquired
what was the difference between tie Re
publicans and the Democrats. Our com
panIon asked If be knew the difference be-
tween the righteous and the wicked. The
boy said he did. Well, said our friend,
the Republicans are the righteous, and the
Democrats are the wicked.
Yes, Mr.. Wise, "there will be warm
contest this fall between the two great
principles of good and evil.'

Poor Charles rose, relieved and strength
ened, the sure effect of heartfelt prayer
From that hour he resolved to bear in mind
that he vas not his own keeper. That in
himself was only weakness and tendencies
to error, and that he must seek his strength
from God. ..
The next day his father went with him to
see the young friend whom he had wronged.
Charlie returned the marbles, though it
was deeply humiliating, and begged Of his
friend that he would forgive him. This re-
quest was readily granted, and Johnnie
gladly and thoughtlessly pocketed his toys,
little dreaming of the long, sad story with
which they were. associated, and which was
to give coloring to Charles future life. =

son the pain of exposure to the other mem
bers of the family, but he was doomed some
times, with bitter pain, to hear some school
boy warn another not to play marbles with

for their religious training. The Dutchman
then asked her if she really thought they
had souls; and she, beginning to be rather
excited, told him she certainly did, ''and
that she felt a deep interest for their saliva
tion."

RETRAcT1oN.-The following anecdote is
told of distinguished lawyer of Massachu'
sets, who, but few years ago, went '"'the
way of all flesh" He had been engaged
in certain cause in Roxbury, wherein he
believed the jury had done injustice to his
client. Declaiming against the verdict, be
said:
"The whole of them might have been bri'
bed for peck of beans"
nWhat is that?" said the Judge. "You
dishonor yourself and the court, as we'll as
the jury, by such an impeachment"
ri meant no disrespect to the court, your
honor and as for myself -"
"You will see the propriety, hope, Of
retracting the words"
"With all due Difference to your honor,
I cannot see the propriety of unsaying what
is true"
"Do you intend to aggravate the offence
by repeating it? Let me tell you, sir, this
is not to be suffered, and unless you retract
forthwith, we shall deemit necessary to strike
you from the rolls of the court"
"Well, since the court insists upon it, [
suppose can do no less than retract."
"And in very ample terms, too"
"Certainly, your honor and on second
thought do it with great pleasure. I am
convinced now, that I wronged the jury in
saying they could be bribed for a peck of
beans; and thus openly and publicly, re-
tract the assertion. I hope she jury, and
court are satisfied"
They expressed themselves in the afirma-
tive, when the lawyer rejoined:
"But may it please the court and jury,
had I said half a bushel instead of peck,
I would have been hanged before I would
have retracted."

the midst of a speech, overAowing with large
words, he was somewhat summarily inter-

man. near him, who had boy with him:

me see that lion."
"Done," said the Snowman, eagerly. "Put

The man placed fve-dollar bill in the

"Why, there !" was the astonished reply.
