An Election Incident.

The following incident, which occurred in
Georgia, is published in the Savannah Reput-
l;can: I" In certain county the election
was very close, and in order to carry it
for the Democracy, the aid Of about one hun
dred votes of the "vote early and vote often'
class were brought in to secure the desired re-
suit. These had been Gagged" for a day or
two previous to the time when they should
sexercise the prerogative of freemen." When
the wagons and purchasers of the votes ar
rived to convey the patriots to remote pre-
cinct to cast their sutfrages, the most Of them
were sober and ready to make as much out
of the occasion as possible. Five dollars was
the price per head, and as each voter got into
the wagon the amount was paid to hisn.-
The buyer soon found that he had paid fol
considerably more than one wagon load anc
vet the wagon was comparatively empty
Such singular state of affairs led him to al
investigation, when he found that as the free
men would get into the wagon from one sid
after having received the five dollars, he woult
lump out at the other and come around to b.
paid over again. One man hsd obtained 81
in that way.

What the South has had.

During the Period which has elapsed since
the organization of the Government South
ern men and Shareholders have had by far
the largest share of all the Offices of homer

The Presidency has been held by southern
men and Shareholders over forty eight years,
and by Northern men less than twenty-five
years.
The Presidency of the Senate has been
held since 1909 by southern men and Slave
holders, except three or four sessions by
Northern men.
The Spcakership of the House has heen

Learn to Labor.

The question is often asked, why is it that
so few people are successful in business, and
why does property find such unequal distrib-
ution? This man, they say, received the ad-
vantages of good English education, and
that man was educated at one Of our best COL
leges. Both have been industrious, honest
and economical, and yet neither of them
have succeeded in business. Why is itp
asks the New York Express, and that journal
proceeds to point out the cause, and in the
course of its remarks, observes:
"The idea too commonly prevails that
mere knowledge of books is the beginning and
end of education. The sons and the daugh-
ters, especially of the rich, grow up with this
with little idea Of the responsibilities which
await them. Their natures revolt at the men,
ton of labor, not dreaming that their parents
before them obtained the wealth they are so
proud of by prudence and economy. How
many young men, college-bred though they
may be, are prepared to manage the establish
ments which their fathers possess, and which
it may have required lifetime to acquire
How many young women, though having ac-
quired all the knowledge and grace of the best
schools, know how to do what their mothers
have done before them, and which their
daughters may yet be compelled to do at
some period of their lives? The children Of
the poor have to labor or starve, and SO far as
that goes they are educated to the practical
The education that SCOTS at labor and en-
courages idleness, is the worst enemy for a
girl, boy, man or woman. Instead of emo
6lng it degrades; it opens the road to ruin.-
The education which directs US to do what We
are fitted to d., that respects labor, that in
culcates honesty, industry, and fair dealing
and that strips u, of seltishness, is the educa
ton we do need; and that which must be

A Christmas Tale.

While the last century was houriSO ing, there
dwelt in what is now famous city not mile
from Boston, an opulent widow lady, who
once afforded queer illustration OF that colo
compound of incompatibles, called "human
nature" >,
twas Christmas Eve, of one of those old
fashioned winters which were so bitter cold.
The old lady put on an extra shawl; and as
she hugged her shivering frame, she said to
h,r faithful negro servant
"It's terrible cold night, Scip. l am
afraid my poor neighbor, Widow Green, must
be suffering. Take the wheelbarrow, Scip:
Fill it full Of wood. Pile on good load and
tell the poor woman to keep herself warm and
comfortable. But before you 60, Scip, put
some more wood on the fire, and make me
nice mug of flip" r..
These last orders were duly obeyed; and
the old lady was thoroughly warmed, both In
side and out. And now the trusty Scip was
about to depart on his errand of mercy, when
his considerate mistress interposed again.
"Stop, Scip. You need not go now. 1h'
aceather has moderated"

Fame.

Fame has strange charm for men. To be
known has the least possible good in it, yet it
is sought by many more than gold or vir-
tue. 1t never satisfies, because it is unsub
stantial the more man has of it, the more
he wants, and never has enough. And what
is it, when it comes? Vanity of vanities, all
is vanity. But the sweet satisfaction ofturn-
ing soul from sin to righteousness is avove
ali comparison. 1t is to last forever! How
ever exquisite the thrill that pervades the
heart at the present moment, when we know
that one immortal soul is through our instru-
mentality saved from death, that thrills to be
prolonged and increasing, year after year, age
after age, world without end. We who have
this Joy are assured that we have been CO.
workers with God in that which his son gave
His life to accomplish. The sorrow from
which the saved soul is saved: the joy to
which it is raised the glory it obtains, and
yields to its Redeemer, joined in magnifying
the happiness of him who has any part, how
ever humble, in the word of its salvation.

Character II Power.

1t is often said that knowledge is power
and this is true. Skill or faculty Of any kind
carries with it superiority. So, to a certain
extent, wealth is power, and genius has
transcendent gift of mastery over men. But
higher, purer and better than all, more con-
slant in its influence, more lastingin its sway
is the power of character-that power which
emanates from pure and lofty mind. Take
any community, who is the man of most in
fiuence? To whom do all look up with rever-
ence Not the "smartest y man, not the clev-
crest politician, not the most brilliant talker,
but him who in lcng course Of years, tried
by the extremes Of prosperity and adversely,
has proved himself to the neighbors and oi
all who have seen his life, as worthy to be
called, wise and good. a-@

We find the annexed article on the pro-
posed abolition of the law for enforcing the
payment of debts, in the financial depart
ment of the New York Independent. The
subject is one that is beginning to attract
good deal of attention, and the more it is ag-
itated the more favorably it will be regarded
by the public. Credit is now too cheap, and
in this respect measures of reform should be
adopted. For this there is a growing neces-
sity, and there is no plan that will meet the
case more fully and speedily than that pro-
posed: -''''
Abolish all laws for the collection of debts,
and leave creditors to their own powers of
discriminating character when giving credit.
This is the point to which our growing civil
ization tends, and to which practical wisdom
and philosophy point. We have long since
abolished the inhuman laws which used to
imprison debtors, in which abolition we took
thelead of old Europe. We have now to
lead the way in a more important reform. A
great proportion of the bad debts made arise
from the rushing of business on imprudent
buyers, extending credits, and in relying on
the law for enforcing payment. When with
out remedy at law, the seller of goods would
look exclusively on character, established
character, wherever credit was given; and
credits would be more proportioned to the
known means of the debtor, both as regards
amount and time.
The expenses attending the collecting Of
debts are very great, and absorb a large por-
ton of the profit. In cases of failure among
the dealers, their debtors are, as is well known
apt to take advantage, and delay, if not alto
gether refuse, payment of their debts. The
law is resorted to by them for evasion. The
moral effect Cf this proposed abolition of the
law to compel payment of debts, which it
does so imperfectly and at so great an expense
of money and time, would be great 1t would
be felt by all sellers that it would not answer
to tempt buyers to buy too much. The sell
Ter would be more cautious. Besides, cash
| transactions would increase, and speculative
dealings diminish.
The evasion of the present laws for the
| collection of debts is very easy to the dishon-
est men, aided by professional advice and
| numerous instances abound of men having
become rich by running largely in debt, put.
ting their property so acquired out OF reach
and setting all laws at defiance. Rich mer
abound, whose property is all settled on theil
wives, or held in trust for them by others
which, in the absence of bankrupt law, car
not be reached.
Indeed, if no law existed to enforce pay
ments of debts, men would look into the NOR
al habit of their debtors before trusting ant
not afterward. They would not be so read,
to seduce, by Illicit means, any set of men t.
make purchases. Men so facile of characte
as to be led are never reliable.

Delay.

The golden hours are Aeeting, Jane;

With brown is tinged the waving graih'
Then why, o why delay!
There's danger in the word, my love-
For life must ever onward move, Il
Its sands this truth too surely prove
By running out aiway.

But buds were there when hrst my vow
Was breathed to thee. Then answered thou
There shaU be no delay. f..

Confessed to thee in May.
Come, an thou lov'st me, come with me;
The bells shall wake with marriage giee;

And both of them shall say.
"Was ever such poor guerdon given
For licensing a man to heaven!
But bless them both, for they have riven
The monster called-Delay.
