Frankness.

Be frank with the world. Frankncss is
the child of honesty and courage. Say just
what you mean to do on every occssien, and
take it for granted you mean to do what is
right. IF friend ask you favor, you shall
grant it if it is reasonable if it is not, tell
him plainly why you cannot. You will
wrong him and wrong yourself by equivoca-
ton of any kind. Never do wrong thing
to make friend or to keep one the man
who requires you to do SO, is dearly pur-
chased and at sacrifice. Deal kindly aud
firmly with all men; and you will find it the
pelicy which wears the best. Above all,
do not appear to others what you are not.
If you have any fault to find with any one,
tell him, not others, of what you complain.
There is no more dangerous experiment
than that of undertaking to be one thing
to mans face, and another behind his
back. We should live, act and speak out
OF door. as the phrase is, and say and do
what we are willing should be known and
read by all men. 1t is not only best as o
matter Of principle, but as matter of policy.

Con. Hooker on the EieCtioe--
1His war Democracy.

Gen. Hooker was at Toledo on the 10th

Dor for defensive purposes. The Blade says
On his way from the depot to the tug, be
stopped at the Board Of Trade Rooms to
get chart OF the river and bay AS soon
as he entered the room il was filed with
citizens, and he was completely fanked. -
Seeing no way Of escape, he surrendered
Handsomely in a neat and patriotic little
speech. Upon being introduced to the
gathering by Harry Chase, Esq, President
Of the Board Of Trade, he spoke as follows
GENTLEMEN: | am glad TO meet you here
to- day. Ny time and attention are entirely
occupied with official duties. / was called
from Chicago to Sandusky, and nov stop
here for few hurried examinations, and
must then pass On.
said | was g lad to meet yeu. l am
specially glad to do so under such favorable
auspices. Everything looks bright for our
country. The work which the people ae-
complishsd the day before yesterday will do
more to put down this rebellion than any
thing done before. 1t was the greatest vic
tory of the war The hopes based upon the
Peace Party Of the North, have long been
the chief prop of the rebels. They have
been struggling along against defeats and
difficulties fer a long time, in the hope that
the Presidential election of 1864 would
bring them relief They we'll know that
armistice and negotiations mean nothing
less than separation and dissolution Of tho.
Union, and hence their dependence upon
the Peace Party.
The managers Of the Chicago Convention
are dangerous men. Ohio sent one who
claims to have put into the platform Of that
convention the declaration that the war was
failure. That man claims to be Dem
ocrat. l never was anything else thsn .
Democrat, but | repudiats al such as him.
He never had drop OF Democratic blood
in bis veins. am satisfied from what
heard in Chicago, that one half of the
convention that nominated Mcclellan might
DO indicted for treason. The name Of JEFF.
Davis was cheered there oftener than Nc
Clelan's. The Democratic party neverfail-
ed to stand by its country in times of trial
and danger, and it never will. The only
Democracy now existing in this county
was represented at the recent meeting Of
the War Democrats of New York. They
spoke my sentiments
do not rejoice in this result because /
am SO much friend of the President, as !
do for the success of the cause he repre-
sents and | would support any man for the
sake Of that cause.
Gentlemen, thank you for your kind
moss on this occasion. have already said

Beauty is Public Property.

The following very sensible advice is
from the Autocrst OF tn Breakfast Table:
There are some very pretty, but, ,unhappily,
very i'll bred woman, who don't understand
the law of the road with regard to handsome
faces. Nature and custom would, no doubt,
agree in concediug to all males the right to
at least two distinct looks ct very comoly
female countenance, without any infraction
Of the rules Of courtesy or the sentiment Of
respect. The first look is necessary to de-
fine the person of the individual one meets,
SO as to svcid it in passing. Any unusual
attraction detected in first glance is suf
6cent apology for a second-not prolong-
ed, impertinent stare, but an apprecisting
homsge of the eyes, such as stranger may
inoffen.ively yield to passing image. 1t
is astonishing how morbidly sensitive some
vulgar beaxties are to the slightest demon
.trations of this kind When lady walks
the streets, she leaves her virtuous indig-
nation countsnance at home ; she knows
we'll enough that the street is 'pieture gal
lery. whore pretty faces. framed in pretty
bonnets, are meant to be seen, and every
body has right to see them" ....

Facetia.
At the

At the = Hotel, in Cairo, they are
not noted for despatch in filling. orders fer
meals. Ifs warm dinner is ordered, some
tins is taken to cock it. Not long since
stopped there, and sat down at table with
an elderly gentlemen, who ordered squirrel.
| waited some time for my dinner, but was
almost through, and tho old gentleman was
still waiting for his squirrel. But his pa
tience was at last exhausted, and he beck
on.d the steward to him, and said
'Has the man got good gun?"
"What nan!" asked the steward
"The man that's gone to shoot the squir-
rel ordered" said the old gentleman, witk
great gravity. -...-.
Just then choked, and did not fear the
stewards answer, but saw him disappear,
and in few seconds the old gentleman was
devouring his squirrel with apparent relish.

Time.

Time is the most urdefnable, yet para
doxca of things; the past is gene the
future is not come, and the present becomes
the past even while we attempt to define it;
and, like the fash Of the lightning, at once
exists and expires.
Time is the measurer of all things, but is
IN itself unreasonable aud the grand dis,
closer Of all things, but is itself undisclosed.
| Like space, it is incemprehensible, because
it has no limits; and it would be still more
50 it it had. 1t is more obscure in its source
than the Nile and in its termination than
the Niger and advances like the slowest
tide, but retreats like the swifest torrent.
1t gives wings to lightning to pleasure,
but feet of lead to pain, and lends ezpecta-
tion curb, but enjoyment a spur.
1t robs beauty Of her charms, to bestow
them on her picture, and builds monu-
ment to merit but denies it house. 1t is
the transient decetful fatterer of falsehoed,
but the tried and final friend of truth.
Wisdom walks before it, opportunity with
it, and repentance behind it; he that hath
made it his friend, will have little to fear
from his enemies but he that hath made
it his enemy will have little to hope from
his friends.

THE election of James Brooks, in the 9Th
New York District, is to be contested on the
ground of fraud and Illegal veting. The
Commercial Advertiser, in speaking of this
matter, says:
The extensive frauds were perpetrated in
certain wards of this city, particularly the
first, third, fourth and fourteenth, is beyond
question. The large excess Of votes polled
over the names registered would, in itself
be sufficient to establish this fact, bat it is
notorious that in m any districts the Inspectors
Of Election entirely disregarded the require.
ments Of the law, and permitted voters who
announced themselves friends of Little
Mac" to cast their ballots, although their
names we're not On the registry and their
votes We're challenged. The Investigation
of these frauds ought not to he confined to
the Sths Congressional District, though'that
is probsbly the only district in which they
changed the general result.
Other Authorities say that facts have al
ready been ascertained sufficient to Gust Mr.
Brooks, whose reported majority is only l5e

ADVANTAGES OF WoNAN--A woman
says what she chooses without being knock
cd down for it. She can take snoeze af
ter dinner, while her husband goes to work.
She can 60 into the streets without being
asked to "stand treat" at every saloon
She can paint her face if it be too pale, and
powder it if too red. She can stay at home
in time of war, and get married again if her
husband he killed. She can wear corsets if
too thick-other fxens if too thin. She can
get divorced from her husband whenever
she sees one she likes better. She can get
her husband in debt all over until he warns
the public not to trust her on his account
But all these advantages are balanced by
the great fact that che cannot "pop the
question"

though 10 the latter case the phrase IL Of.
ten used sndssrinsly. At all times, as
commonly spoken, it jars upon the ears and
shocks the senses Aa old woman is an
object of reverence above and beyond almost
all phrase of humanity. Her age should
be the surest passport to courteous considera-
ton, the aged mother ofa grewn up family
needs no other certificate Of worth. She is
monument Of excellence, approved and
warranted. She has fought faithfully "the
good tight, and comes of conquerer Upon
her venerable face she bears the marks of
the conflict 10 all its furrewed lines. The
mos. grieveus of the ills of life have been
hers, trials untold and unknown, only to Ged
and herself, she has borne iRcessantly; and
now 10 her old aae---her duty done,
patiently awaiting her appointed time, she
stands, more truly beautiful tbep he Sho
has slain his thousands, and stood triumph
ant on the proudest Geld Of victory. Young
men, speak kindly to your mother. and
even courteously of her. But little time
you may see her no more foreverl Her
eye is dim, her form is bent, and her shadow
falls graveyard. Others may love you when
she has passed away-kind hearted sistersor
she whom ofsll the world you may choose
for partner-sbe may love you warmly,
pessionatsly; children may love you fondly:
but never sgain, never while tims is yours,
shall the levo Of any woman be to you as
that Of your old trembling, weakened meth
er has been; through helpless infancy her
threbbing breast wts your safe protection
and support-in vayward testy boyhood,
she bore patiently With your thoushtless
rudensss and nursed ysu through legion
of ills aud msladies. Her hand has bsthed
your broT. or moistensd the psrched lips;
her eye that Lighted up the darkness af
wasting nightly vigils. satchisg always in
your nightly sleep, sfseplsss BY ysur side as
none but hers could watch.
Oh! spoak not her name lightly, for you
cannot live SO many years as would suffice
to thank her fully. Through reckless and
impatient youth she is your conseller and
solaee; To bright manhood she guides
your important steps, ner even then for
sakes or fergets. Speak gently, then, and
reverentislly ofyeur mother, and whom you
toe, shall be old, it shall in some degree
tighten the remorse which shall be yours
for your othsr sins, to know that never
Tantenly have your outraged the respect
due to the old woman.
