Every now and then, Wing who goes
over to the Democracy, meets with 'Wb
from his new allies, which perhaps may be
deserved: dat least, his old friends, cannot
s.sympathise much For instance, Mr..
John II. Gilmer, of Richmond is now an
orator on the Douglas side of the Democra-
cy. The Richmond Examiner refers to him
as once the strongest of Wings, and the most
rampant of Know Nothings, and as now
taking a position as close to the Wings as
possible-which, of course, is, according to
the Examiner, being friend OF Douglas!
He, says the Examiner, "had to come to the
Democracy; and he must of course, take
position with those who were nearest the
Wings and Oppositionists in sentiment and
action. Such men, of course, hail the de-
nunciations of a Democratic administration
with very loud and very sincere applause.
That is the very thing they were, long ago,
accustomed to do" But the Examiner
should, also, state that many of these "ram-
pant politicians of former times, now take
position as far removed as possible from the
Wings, in order to show that their CONVEX
sion is radical and complete.

a Husbands Experience Of a Strong
Minded Woman.

A worthy citizen of Maine, of fair social
position, good plain understanding, ard
amlable manners, entered into the state of
matrimony with strong minded woman.--
Our narrative is brief She had all things
her own way, from the very first hour
Her contempt for his mental powers i'm
proved every day. His very inoffensivc-
ness increased it. Her wishes soon as
sumed the tone of commands They lived
on for many years, and the grey mare
was universally acknowledged to be the
better horse In her presence, and that of
third parties, he was rarely known to open
his mouth and he would 30 more have
thought OF giving an opinion upon any sub
Ject than OF giving up the ghost. At length
bis career Of passive obedience came to a
close; and Miss Popkin chad not the least
doubt what killed him. His last words,
and they were remarkable words, gave
something like color to Miss Popkins' opin-
ion. The Rev. DR.. Thunderbob attended
him In his last moments and the converse
ton between them has been as follows:
''Dr. Pilldriver informs me that you are
no longer for this world

aged 81 years and months, is as lively
and chirruping as ever He is in the cum
panionship of his third wife, whose summers
number only half bis winters, and whom be
met by midnight and courtcd in the most
romantic manner, only five or six years ago
His letters to his friends, the journalists,
reiterate the oft-repeated story Of the pro-
cess of his daily existence. He says:
Il never was drunk in my life walk
without staff; I sleep without rocking,
and eat my food without the help of bran
dy or bitters +! never cat enough I smoke
six pipes of the best Virginia every day
drink one quart of coffee, with sugar-no
milk-and another quart without either
sugar or milk-a one-half gallon, total.
DR. Dunderhead says tobacco and coffee
are slow poisons. In my case it's very
slow, indeed, for thus have | lived during
the last sixty years. Insert this in the
Herald for the benefit Of the temperance
society. afa ~

Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland
at the tri-eentennary celebration, thus play
fully refers to its origin 1'aa aH
Il have often been asked why we are
called true blue" did not know how to
answer But / asked a Scotchman
'.Well, " said be, "when we were persecut-
ed, the ministers used to go to the mount
aims, when they were going to have COM
munion they held a blue flag, which was an
invitation to the people Of the country
to attend and their descendants are call
ed true blue from that. That is the expla-
nation but | have found out another for
myself A few years ago | was in Naples
and Rome, and went to Pompeii, where /
spent some time among its splendid fresco-
es of varigated blues. All the other colors
had faded away, but the blue was bright
as the day it was put on, although it had
been buried for nearly two thousand years.
The true blue never gave out-that is the
meaning of it. Laughter ] True blue
Presbyferianism is so blue that it never
gives cut.
