The Judicial Question.

We have been informed that the State
Democratic Executive Comm ttee have
filled the vacancy Oh the State ticket
occasioncd by the resignation of Judge
Grant, and that letter of acceptance
is expected every day. Very WE'LL Bet
ter late than never. We hope the off
cial acceptance will not de ay its coming
great while. The fact is, we are get
ting weary of waiting SO long. Others,
too, ae IN the same condition.
Should this information prove Ger
rect, and the appointee of the commit
tee accept soon, our Democratic friends
who have espoused the Miller cause will
have no other course lief, than to back
out from that shute, and take another.
If, OF the other hand, no such accept
ance comes to hand, the Democratic
press of this State will be under the
necessity Of either supporting Repub-
lican or ignoring the matter entirely
With us the choice is easily made, but
we can speak only for number one.
We shall look anxiously for every
mail to the end that we may hear Of
the acceptance of the Executive Com
mittee's nominee. We are patiently
waiting.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. Beautiful is old age, beautiful as the slow dropping mellow Autumn of rich, glorious Summer. In the old man, nature has fulfilled her work; she loads him with fruits of wellspent life; and surrounded by his children, she rocks him away softly to the grave, to which he is followed by blessings. God forbid that we should not call 1t beautiful. There is another life, hard, rough and thorny, trodden with bleeding feet and aching brow, battle which no peace fol- lows this side of the grave; which the grave gapes to finish before the victory IS won; and strange that it should d--this is the highest life of a man. Look back along the great names of history, there IS none whoseslife is other than this, - Vest minister Review.

SAoAcIrY OF THE AacTrc Fox. .--In . recent lecture upon his experience in Arc tic life, Dr. Rae said l: Ion the journey I saw very curious instance of the sagaci- ty of the Arctic fox. Conscious that was aiming at him, he tucked his tail between his legs, cooked up his ears, and endeav- ored to look as like hare as possible, (which is an animal comparatively worth- less. Another fact of this kind occurred to me, whilst being detained at particu- lar place, where our favorite amusement was trapping wild animals. Our mode nf doing this was with spring gun connect- ed with bait, which, when touched, pro- duced the explosion. One instance show ed us that fox, either from observation of companions fate, or from hard-earn- ed htYh htYhdselsdn dnR wtR tR the 9es F,n gn 7, and, the danger being .a'.; ate the meat in undistnrbed comfort. And it is common occurrence for the fox to make trench up to the bait, seize 1t, and permit the charge to pass over his head.

YouNo MAN, You'RE WANTrp.-A woman wants you. Don't forget her. Don't wait to be rich. If you do, remember that, ten to one, you are not fit to get mar ried. Marry while you are young, and struggle up .ogether.- Erchange.
 But mark, young man! The woman
 does not want you if she has to divide her affections with cigar, fancy dog, fast horse, or whiskey jug. Neither does she want you because you are a nice young man;' the definition of which, now-a-days, is too apt to be an animal that sports an immense hirsute appendage, a lot of jewelry, kid gloves, Accidentally cut coat, gold. headed cane, siove-pipe hat on an empty head, drives fast nag, drinks like fish. and swears like a trooper, and is given to all manner of li- centiousness. She wants you if you have learned to regulate your appetitcs and passions in fact, she wants you if you are made in the image of God, not in the likeness of beast If you arc strong in good purpose, firm in resistence to evil, pure in thought and action as yon require her to be, and without which inward and outward purity neither of you are fitted for husband or wife. If you love virtue and abhor vice--if you are gentIemanly. forbearing and Kind not loud talking, exacting and brutal--then. young man. that woman wants you; that fair, modest, cheerful, bright- looking, frank-spoken woman-we mean one who fills your ideal of maiden and wfe--it is she who wants you! Marry her when you like, whether you are rich or poor; we will trust you both on the conditions named without further security.

-One day, as MT. c. was limping down the High street of Edinburg, from the Court of Sessions, he overheard a young lady say to her companion rather loudly, "That is MT.

 "A bachelors face, says Prentice, is of- ten the worse for wear--a married ones for wear and tear But Prentice atones to the la dies when he says, anext to God we are in- debtcd to women, first for life itself, and then for making it.worth having"

The drop of water which is split, the fragment of paper which is burnt, the plant that rots in the ground -all that perishes and IS ,forgotten- equally seeks the atmosphere, and all is there preserved, and thence returned to fructify the earth for some other purpose.
 - The reason why 50 many marriages among the rich end unhappily, is to be fonnd l in the fact they do not so much demand thae heart should beat to heart as that purse should chnk to purse.

The Toll. Gate of Life.

We are all on our journey. The world through which we are passing is in some respects like | !urrnqpikeesmaIl srqI along vice M accommodation of those who choose to call as they go,--and there are very few ot all the hosts of travellers who do not occasion ally stop little at some one or other oi consequently pay more or less to the toll gatherers. Pay more or less, we say, because there is great variety as well in the amount as in the kind ot toll extracted at these different stopping places.
 Pride and fashion take heavy tolls of the purse-many man has become a beggar by paying at their gates-the or. dinary rates they charge are heavy, and the road that way is none of the best
 Pleasure offers very smooth, delight ful road in the outset she tempts the trav- eler with many promises, and wins thou- sands-but she takes without mercy like an artful robber, she allures till she gets her victim in her power, and then strips him of health and money, and turns him off miserable object, into the worst or most rugged road of life.
 Intemperance plays the part of stur- dv william. He is the worst ol all toll gatherers on the road, flor henot only gets from his customers their money and their health. but he robs them of their very brains. The men you meet on the road, ragged and ruined in frame and fortune, are his visitors. And so we might go on enumefating many others that gather toll of the unwa- ry Accidents sometimes happen, It IS true, along the road, but those who do not oct through at least tolerably well, you may be sure have been stopping by the way at some of these places. The plain, common sense men, who travel straight forward, get through the journey without much difficulty.
 This being the state of things, it be.
 comes every one. in the outset, il he Tn. ], lends to make n comfortable journey, te 7 take care what kind of company he keeps in with. We are all aptto doas compan ], ions do-stop where they stop, and pay , toll where they pay. Then the chances fare ten to one but our choice m this par
 tcuIar decides our fate.
 Having paid due respect to choice Q D. companions, the next important thing ist s observe how others manage; to mark th
 good or evil that is produced by ever
 course of life-see how those do who man ages well :; by these means you learn. ? Be careful of your habits these make
 the man. And they require long an
