The circumstances Of the case OF poisoning

GER THEE TO A NuRsERY.-Thc politics
Of he MAgysvillo daily DemOerGt are de-
pendent upon an inexhaustiblC source Of
the ,Aattess simplicity. The paper was
verM Of see-aw anti-demOcratic DcmOc-
Eacy, and for txO years it has been "mcw.
ling and puking in its nurses arms. "
Sometimes the force required to effect its
political dsibble Is turned to the produc.
don q patriotic drops and local sentiment
tAlisms. For example, 1.-THE approach Of
Spring" becomes theme, and the Dem
ocrst tells us that many "phare pho
males" having scented the coming Of
Spring sIar Of, are tearing things up by
the roots In the gardens. But the Demo
crNs desires every reader to judge for him
self whether Il Is customary with "thC
darling creatures" TO tear up mems hearts
IN Q like manner, and TO remorselessly
shake the dirt off Then the Democrat
proceeds to the fact that 1.-THE children

the amusing capeTs Of one short little
Miss of, three long summers" who was
seissd with an iVrspressible gardening at,
"whereupon, with spirit Of enterprise

The Mental Organism 81 Business.
The standard by which the public dc,
tcrminc that persons arc good business
men is the success which they attain in
their business; but We doubt whether Il
is correct to say that he is always "a COOL
business man" WhO is always successful.
Thousands Of experienced men, possessed
Of all the qualifications Of men Of shrCwd-
ness, economy and foresight. arc unSuc-
ccsSful in business; thousands who have
all the ingenuity, tact, and the spirit Of
perseverance, requisite in traffic, fail as
we'll in obviously substantial transactions
as in speculative operations. So clearly
is this the GAct that NC sometimes think
that tho chances, the happenings. the de.
pendence Of trade upon trade, are alone
the producers Of individual success; that
not the education. the experience and the
adaptation Of a commercial man, but the
circumstances produced by multitorm
commerce, do everything through sys.
tenn in which the individual 10 not neces.
sarily required to act In conformity to
! certain business habits and rules, to Sug.
gcst or adopt which he must be peculiarly
endowed and trained.
But this theory can be correct in part
only; it Is evident that an individualized
course Of conduct affects business rs well
as that business affects the conduct Of
persons When We look at the business
community, We find that there is physi-
economical similarity which is so complete
ly established that We see here the like.
neSses Of men whom we are almost Ger.
tain Ofhavlng seen long ago in other States
This similarity is an all-pervading physi-
OgnOmy which is impaired from and &C.

We are not right well convinced that

every prOdigal political son return, but
not with his pockets full ofmatured plans
Of reconciliation, nor with the idea that
he must consider himself invited TO not
only retrace his course but to modify the
course which others should pursue with
him-he being the first, they the second
party to the arrangement We desire to
strengthen tho Democratic party, but not
with such means as would entirely renew,
and therefore entirely change, the present
strength. There are great many hun
dreds Of men in this State who went over
to abide by the issue that NJ. Douglas
was the regular nominee Of the Democratic
party. Previous to that refractory exhi.
bitiOn Of personal preference they were
=" regular. We admit that they have
been faction Of the Democratic party,
because they have stood the nearest in
every sense to the Democratic position.
Not so with the BrOdeTick wOrshiPers {;
they may have been with the Democratic
party, but in going Oft they stepped over
