LOVE AND POLITICS,

Anything but female politician said
Judge Compton, and his masculine lip,
curled with the most dgnifed contempt,
as he threw himself back on the lounge
and unfolded fresh newspaper.
"And pray, why?" exclaimed Mrs
Smith, looking up from her embroidery
with q look of mscheivous inquiry in hcl
merry black eyes.
II believe, my gallant cousin, continued
she, that Eve partook of the fruit Of the
tree Of knowledge even before her liege
lord and master, and what is to hinder bel
daughters from studying politics, or aught
else she may choose?'

The Democratic Motto Invent -cig II
Years Ago.

In looking over file Of the Republican
Herald for 1892, the other day, in search
of the Records of the first Democratic
National Convention, our attention was
attracted to the nominee Of that time, and
his motto. The nominee was ANDREW
JACKSON. The motto beneath his name
is worthy Of being kept in everlasting re-
membrance. 1t is just as good aud Just
asa ppropriate, and just as important, to
day as it was twenty eight years ago. Here
it is -
THE MAN AND HIS MEAsuREs-Euual
protection to agriculture, manufactures
and commerce; = literal construction of
the Constitution, with exercise Of express,
not implied powers; firm adherence to
Democratic principles, to individual and
municipal rights; to the sovereignty of
the States and the sovereignty Of the peo-
pie.' ...... ....
From the day on which the Democratic
party was first organized, down to the
present moment, there has never been
contest in which tho motto would not ex-
press the position of the Democratic par,
ty, and indicate plainly the dividing line
between the Democracy and the opposi-
ton. We adopt it as our motto to-day,
and would not add to it sentence, line,
or a word. There is not a sentence in it
which we do not heartily endorse, nor one
to which our opponents. Judging by their
acts. can possibly subscribe. Precedence

How TO KEEP MELONS FOR WINTER
As the close of the watermelon season is
approaching, it might, perhaps, be inter.
esting to some Of our readers to keep
wstermelons fer winter use. The way is
simply this: Make box so as to be per-
fsctly air tight. then lay the watermelons
in not to touch the box nor touch each
other, and fill up with any kind of grain
that will pack tight, and they will keep
ell winter.
