They were told that the people of Ter.

That was the very doctrine that brought on
the Revolution which resulted in the Free

government told us that the Colonies had
just SO much right as the Crown delegated
to them, and no more. The Colonies replied
that they did not receive their rights from
the Crown, but from God Almighty, and
that they intended to maintain and defend
those rights. And it was because the
Colonies would not acknowledge the prepos-
ferrous claim set up by the British govern
ment, that the Declaration of independence
was put forth and the battles of the Revo-
luton were fought. Thus, the war of the

The Two Candidates,

The Two Candidates.
There is as little similarity as possible
between the two principal candidates for
the Presidency, Douglas and Lincoln
Douglas is stout, firm built man, capable
Of great phys and mental endurance
Lincoln is tall, spare, loosely made, with a
look as though he had seen too many hard
winters for him to be able to see many
more and preserve either his bodily or men,
tai health.
Douglas never tells a story, and fails If
he undertakcs-Lincoln fails if he under
takes anything elsc," but never in that
Douglas is always augumentative and
carries the audience with him by the power
of his reasoning only-Lincoln is facetious,
abounding in anecdote and wit, but seldom
rising above to the dignity Of logic, and
'takes the crowd more by their feelings
than their judgment.
Douglas at first sight strikes one as beins
remarkable man-Lincoln as being moth.
ing remarkable.
Douglas, commencing life as poor
friendess boy, has made his way up to the
very pinnacle of fame, and coming up thro
a constant series Of official service, the peo
pie know him to be capable and deserving
Lincoln, commencing in the same man
her, has failed to raise himself above the
common grade of political life, and owes
all that he now is to accident, and never
having served in any prominent position,
is unknown as deserving anything at the
hands Of the people.
Douglas is man of extraordinary talen
"a man that has been tried thousand
times, and always been found equal to tn,
task imposed upon him-Lincoln is simpl,
the man who is the candidate against him
Douglas will be President of these United
States, and his administration will be dis
tinguished for its energy, prompitude an,
good management gcnerally,-Lincoln will
be the man who ran against Douglas ant

A Practical study.
Ona recent occasion, Archbishop Hug
addressed the graduating class of 20,
ladies at the Mount St. Vincent Acadel
and the position is assumed by him SO sel
sible and so happily expressed, that We
cannot forbear giving it niche in our col.
umns. One great fault with the ''stand-
ard" course Of study at schools, is the utter
lack of utility in the branches taught,
The idea that Accomplishments" consist >
alone in music, French and manners, is
mistaken one, and though all well enough,
as far as they go, in nine cases out Of ten
they are worth absolutely nothing in thl
journey of lfe, unless combined with {
practical knowledge of the duties of :
house-keeper, wife and mother. Th
Archbishop spoke as follows:
Although it is Of the utmost importance
young ladies, that you should have good e.
ucation, should be accomplished, cultvat
graceful and refined, yet there are other thin
that cannot be lost sight of. Before anotl
year rolls around propose to arrange with
Sisters for \ new branch of study in the Ac|(

Select Poetry.

GIRLS AND WIVES.
Somebody has written the following about the girl.
and set it afoat:
God bless the girls,
With golden curls
Blend with our evening dreams;
They haunt our lives
Like spirit wives
O-as naiads haunt the streams
They soothe our pains,
They fill our brains
With dreams Of summer hours.
God bless the girls,
God bless their curls,
God bless the human flowers.
The wives, We think, are quite rs deserving of q
blessing as the girls therefore submit the follow.
ing
God bless the wives,
They ill our hives
With little bees and honey
They case lifes shocks,
mend socks,
But-A they spend the money!
When We are sick,
They heal US quick
That Is, II they should love us
II not, we die,
And yet they cry,
And place tembstones above US.
or regush girls,
With sunny curls,
We may in fancy dream;
But wves-true wives
Throughout our lives,
Are everything thev seem.

"Been out all night again. I'd like to
know where you keep yourself till this
time in the morning; it's not ten minutes
since heard the clock strike four. You
didn't hear it. No, Of course not. You
wouldn't hear the last trumpet-the noise
would have to travel through an acre of
German beer before it would get to your
hearing. Had to go up among your Ger
man friends. Had to go; I'd like to know
how you had to go. Some folks are dread
ful willing to had to go.
Yes, I know it is coming on election
time ). that's good excuse to get away
from your family and home. wish there
was no election in the country-it would
be much better off if We had none. What
did you do all night long? Who did you
elect! Who did you see? Theatre and
dance. Now turn over here.
Oh, Lord! am in hop yard or distil-
lery, or where am L? What have you
got outside of you? Didn't drink much
You must have got into beer barrel, then,
for its coming out all over you, and how
it smells! You danced, did you? You
must have cut pretty fgure-guess it
was lager beer reel. Do you think I'll
stand this going off to dance all night ?
I'll bet she was as ugly as q pumpkin with
two holes in it.
Look here, You needn't pretend sleep,
want to have little domestic conversation
with you. I'm your better half, and your
better half proposes to discuss matters q
little. LATE! How do you know its late?
It's early enough to give you piece Of wo-
mans .ongue. 7onguty! Yes, am ton
guey.-that' part of woman's prcrogative,
and I'm going to use some Of it on you
Let you alone! Did you say that to the
girl you danced with? Oh, no! nothing Of
the sort-it was, Miss, shall have the
pleasure Of your beautiful person for the
next cotillion? wish could see her-rd
take some Of the beautiful out of her at q
jerk!
Can't get no peace! Yes, you can have
plenty of it-go to the theatre; go elcc-
tioncering; dance with the Dutch girls till
morning; and come home and I'll give you
peace by the long measure-I'll give you a
piece Of my mind!
Come back here; where are you going
Get into another beds Not exactly this
has been large enough for two heretofore,
and it has not grown any smaller lately.
You danced, did you? I'd like to see you
dance with me. I'm too old, I 'spose-I
amt too old to give you fits! ...

The Dru.es,

The Druses.
Who are these murderous people? is in
everybody's mouth, about this time. The
latest and best authorities trace them to the
Eastern confines of Syria. They are Arabs
and settled in Lebanon and anti Lebanon
within the last nine hundred years.
"Syria," says the reliable DR.. Thompson,
who wrote from twenty years residence
and travel in that country, "has always
been cursed with multiplicity Of tribes
and religions, which have split up the coun-
try into small principalities and conflicting
classes, fruitful parent of civil war, anarchy
and confusion.
To give some idea of the population OF
Syria, the Doctor enumerates them as fol-
lows:
Moslems, 100000

Nurainlyah, 100000
Nowar, 10000
DruSeS, 100000
Jews, $4,000
MarOnites, 100000
Greeks, 10000
Armenians, $4,000
Papal Ofshoots, $4,000
The total population is thus estimated at
100000, exclusive, however, of the no.
madic Arabs, whose number is set down by
the best authorities at half million. The
