RECIPROCITY OF COURTESY.

A great many people seem to be born in
to the Eerld-aecording to their own opin-
ion-for the simple and express purpose of
receiving favors That there is any other
view to be taken of the subject never fer a
moment enters the head of an individual of
this class. The idea of a Qaid pro quo, even
ii his intellect is able to grasp it, seems to
him absurd. isin't he one Of the aneinted?
Dosen't great part Of the duty Of the
world consist In toadying him, and crying up
bis miraculous virtues and parts2 What
the deuce else was il created for2 The cheek
displayed By some Of these fellows at times
is perfectly stupendous: and no one in com
munity, perhaps, isobligedto witness its ex-
hlbltion oftener, or endure It's inhiction
more constantly than the editor of news
DaDer paopia who itch for pnt0riety, COR
poratlons who want their backs scratched,
travelling lecturers who want tickling, alt
come to the editor, who many times from
pure good nature, and many times for the
sake ofbeing rid Of ftheirimport gives
them what is technically known as puff.
But, eight times out of ten, if a reciprocal
courtesy Is required, a courtesy which liter
ally costs them nothing, they don see it.
They are the parties to be favored, and that
end gained it is all sufitient Now we pro-
test against this sort of thing. Its void of
reason, justice, or right a kiss for blow
is very good in theory, but we have found
from long series of experiments, that it
don't pay In business transactions
We have not intended our above remarks
to be taken in any sweeping sense. Not a
bit of it. They are only directed to par
ticular class, and in general manner. Ev-
erybody I; whatever the position they may
fill, have suffered from the absorbent quail
tiles of these sponges of society without be-
ing able to squeeze out much in their turn,
and in that peculiar suffering we have had
our share. We are sick of it--heart sick.
1t dosen't pay In the first place, and in the
second place itisin't pleasant TO feel ones
self the victim of imposition, for it's moth
ing else 1t destroys the feeling of inde-
pendence, which every one is entitled to
possess, and we believe we have as many
rights as anybody else. But, yet, notwith-
standing the preponderanee of this element
in many communities, we are glad to put on
record that, on the other side, there are ma
ny good, square, white men, whoappreciate
and act upon the doctrine that one good
turn deserves another. They understand
that mankind was made for mutual support,
not for one-sided swindling. They show at
least common gratitude for favors received,
and that is all we or anybody else can ask
for we re not speaking for ourselves alone.
That their numbers may be increased and
wax great In the land is the prayer of a suf-
fering community. - Erie Dispatch

THE END OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.

The Democratic party of the North has
evidently finished its mission Its last bat
ties have been quite sufficient to show that
its career is ended These battles wereabout
as much like one of its ancient fights as the
eonyulsive struggle of bird with its head
off is like that Of the game animal in the full
vigor of its prime There is now not one
spark of life in its remains, nor meat enough
on its bones to make the feeblest mockery Of
dietary soup.
We contemplate the corpse Of the dead
Democracy with considerable composure, and
even a serene contentment As it lies there
stark and stiff, deprived of all power of mis-
chief, it is difficult to realize that this is the
party which once exercised, under the name
Of Democracy, the most absolute and pro-
scriptive party sway, and dispensed all the
official gifts big and little, Federal and State,
of the American Republic. There was a
time when even to doubt that its DEGREES
were infallible was the rankest kind of polit-
ieal heresy, and to question its lnvinclblhty
was the presumption of fool. With no
argument but its name, and no policy but
the spoils, it yanquished every political par
ty that ever ventured to give it battle. No
talents however great, no virtue, however
spotless, ,-availed to secure their poSsessor a
post in the public service unless he wore the
livery of that potent organization. The gl-
gantic genius of Daniel Webster was destin-
ed to remain pyramid in vale, while, on
the pedestal intended for the statue of "a Co
lossus, was perched some diminutiye dwarf,
dignifed by the name of great statesman.
The eagle fight of Henry Clay was arrested
in midheaven by fang that he could not
shake off, and the reptile who inserted it
was Transformed bv the magic spen of De-
mocracy into venerable public functionary,
and clad in the imperial purple. 1t could
bring an angel from the clouds or clothe an
internal in the garments of light. There
never, any country, was a more sweeping
and complete political ostraciSm than that
which, during the whole period of its ascen-
dancy, the Democracy exercised In this eoun-
try. 1t claimed an entire monopoly of all
the patriotism and official competency of the
land 1t took the slave institution of the
South under It's especial guardianship, and
no Southern Wing was ever found whom it
could trust on that subject in comparison
with a Northern Democrat. But long
and brilliant as was its career, it came at
last to Waterloo, and after that to a st.
Helena If it had not dragged down the
country with It's own downfall, we should re-
gard its overthrow will. 6aa ;xed exultation.
But the moment that its sceptre was passing
away, il set fire TO train, already laid, for
universal ruin But there is this matter of
congratulation. The ruins can be repaired
and the country will rise, while the Democ-
racy never can. Its days are numbered. 1t
will never more be able to ride rough-shod
over the wisdom, conservatism and public
virtue of the land --Richm0nd Rep.

PHILosoPHY or ExERcIsE.

We take this instructive article from late
number of HaiPs Journal of Health:
All know that the less we exercise the less
health we have, and the more certain we are
to die before our time But comparatively
few persons are able to explain how exercise
promotes health Both beast and bird, in
a state of nature, are exempt from disease,
except in rare cases; it is because the unap-
peasable instinct of searching for their nee
essary food impels them to ceaseless activi-
ties. Children, when left to themselves, eat
great deal and have excellent health, be-
cause they will be doing something all the
time, until they become so tired that they
fall asleep; and as soon as they wake, they
begin right away to run about again; thus
their whole existence is spent in alternate
eating and sleeping, and exercise, which IS
interesting and pleasurable. The health OF
childhood would be enjoyed by those of ma
turer years, if, like children, they would eat
only when they are hungry stop when they
have done; take rest In sleep as soon as
they are tired and when not eating or rest
ing, would spend the time diligently in such
muscular activities as would be interesting,
agreeable and profitable Exercise, without
mental elasticity without an enliyement OF
the feelings and the mind, is of compara-
lively little value.
/. Exercise is health-produeing, because
it works off and out of the system its waste
dead and effete matters; they are all con-
vered into a liquid form, called by some
''humors, which have exit from the body
through the s'pores' of the skin in
the shape of perspiration, which all have
seen, and which all know is the result of ex-
ercise, when the body is in a state of health.
Thus it is. that persons who do not perspiIe,
who have a dry skin, are always either fe-
yerish or chilly, and are never well,
and never can be as long as that con-
dition exists. So exercise, by working out
of the system its waste, deoayed and useless
matter. keeps the human machine free,
otherwise it would soon clog up, and the
wheels Of life would stop forever
2. Exercise improves the health, because
every step a man takes tends to impart mo-
ton to the bowels; a proper amount of ex-
ercise keepsthem acting once IN every twenty
| four hours; if they have not motion enough
there is constipation, which brings on very
many fatal diseases; hence exercise, especl
alIy that of walking, wards off innumerablt
diseases, when it is kept up to an extenl
equal to inducing one motion of the boweli
daily
g. Exercise is healthful, because the mort
we exercise the faster we breath, Ii W.
breathe faster, we take that much more an
| into the lungs; but it is the air we breathe
/ which puri6es the blood, and the more an
we take in, the moro perfectly IS that process
performed; the purer the blood is, aud a
everybody knows, the better health must. be
Hence, when person lungs are lmpaire'

THE LAST REVIEW.


BIT MRS. b. j. BUGBRB.
Twenty-one miles of boys in blue,
Sixty abreast in their last review,
How grandIy the columns stretch away,
/. In the cloudess light of this sweet May day.
Onward-in rank and file they come,
To the cheering beat of the vietors' drum.
Wearied, scari ed, and worn they be,
But proader host you viii never see,
Their faded banners, riddIed with balls,
But floating triumphantly after all,
Never again in the worlds sunlight,
Shall the Nations lock on grander sight.
No moro till the Christian army stands,
Whose warriors shall gather from every land,
For ast review on the other shore,
Their lifelong battles and marches DER,
Willamarshalled host like this appear,
Crowned with the glory that victors wear.
Let the heads of the nation bow as they pass,
And scatter with flowers the dewy grass,
As their cleaning weapons flash in the sun,
Remember the deeds of Falor done.
How that solid column of human breasts
Was barred 10 the storm, for the nations rest.
Then beat the drum for the last reVielle,
The echoes of the strife are growing stih,
With conquering tread the heroes come,
Back to the dear eIights Of home.
But alas the army of countless dead,
We shall list in vain for their coming tread,
FaH forty miles of our noble braves,
Sixty abreast, are in their graves,
As your cheers ring out for the living host
Remember the heroes loved and lost.
And think of the MANNED and wasted band,
Seeking the homes of this stricken land,
For whom the brightness of life is Ger,
Whose feet are nearing the other shore,
Remnants Of manhood once so strong,
These cannot march in the gala throng.
Then hail all hail to the boysin blue,
Gathered to-day 70. last review,
Marching with floating banners back;
Scatter with flowers their joyous track.
Their brows perchanee are dark with sears,
Their worn feet scanned with crimson fairs,
But kings and vicfors we crown to-day,
The war-scarred host on their homeward way
And 1 wonder, if down from the sweet repose
Which the soul of the martyred hero knows,
The Commandments chief looks down and sees
Those banners float in this earthly breeze,
And if in the calm of that world of bliss,
His spirit would tn rill at a scene like this9

THE NEW SCHOOL PRESBYTERI-
ANS SPEAK FOR THEIR
COUNTRY.

The New School Presbyterian Synod has
Just held its annual meeting in Philadelphia.
On Thursday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Aikman,
of the committee on the state of the country,
reported the following preamble and resolu-
tions, which were unanimously adopted.
They should be perused by every reader of
the paper:
WHEREAS, The Synod holds its annual
session now, for the first time after the close
of great and civil war; and,
WHEREAS, By Divine command, the
Church is to bear in heart before God the
rules Of the land, and cannot therefore but
have the deepest interest in the purity and
stability of che Government; and that, in a
country where the Church enjoys such free
dom and protection so benefcent from the
Government, she is bound by every principle
of honor and Of gratitude to God to pledge,
as we have In time of its danger, and as we
do now, her loyalty, and to express her joy
in the hour of its success: therefore
ResotUed, That we give humble thanks to
God most high, for the overthrow, so sud
den and so entire, of the great rebellion
for the virtual extinction of the system of
human slavery, the baleful growth of two
centuries of wrong; for theeeyation of four
millions of men from the degradation of alb
solute servitude into freedom and citizenship;
for the entire establishment of the Govern
ment and the vindication OF its authority and
honor; for the spirit of peace over the whole
land: and brotherhood, and of new and
purified life to the nation.
Resolred, That we give thanks to God fol
the inspiration of faith, courage and con-
stancy which has borne the nation through
fouryears of self denial, suffering and death,
and which has held it unfaltering on its way
to this day of light and triumph To God
be all the glory.
Resolued, That the dangers and sorrows
through which the nation has passed, anc
God S Providence, all declare that absolute
Justice must be done to all men, and do poin
unerringly to the duty of lifting. as speedily
as possible those whom God has made fret
to the rights OF citizenship before the law
Resolped, That to the soldiers of th,
Union, to whose valor and endurance undel
God we owe the triumph and peace to-day
we return our grateful acknowledgement
and pray that God would crown them will
the richest blessing of His grace.
Resoleed, That to the great multitude 0
the oercaved, whose loved ones have falleI
by disease and exposure by the arms and II
the prisons of the enemy, We bring our sym

The Pope has again pronounced an allocu-
ton which is making some stir In Europe.
This time he warns the faithful against the
Free Masons, reminding them that several
of his predecessors have prescribed snd re-
proved that sect, the entrance into which
they declared should entail exeommunication
which the Pope alone could remove. The
Pope denounees the Free Masons as the in
stigators of revolutions, and calls on the
secular governments to suppress them.

in Europe more than 1000, 900 Catholic

THE Religion of Jesus Christ is q vast
remedial system, made up Of many mighty
forces, and containing within itself capaci-
ties of adoption and adjustment to every
phase of the world $ progress and 70 every
necessity of individual life. These mighty
forces are to some extent dormant, and they
must be awakened into action; aud the out

In our power To develop these inner
forces and to cultivate this outer field is
the bounded duty of the age and Of this
