The Ruling Passion Strong in Death.

The Democracy are again doing second
business" on the political stage, and in the
character OF MicaWber. They are waiting
Tor something to turn up. But one would
suppose they had had enough of this policy
and would be glad to experiment OH anoth,
er. Why do they not try the wade in"
policy That is to say, why do they not
sho" their baud, take time by the forelock,
and lead Oft on public issues, and show the
world for once that they dare look honest
people in the eyes, and dare declare them
selves without dupliclty and without Jesuit
ry. We mean to be frank and fair with our
Democratic Zoe, and give him every advan-
tage. The issues Of the future are living
around loose in every direction, and at the
disposal Of any one who ha sa mind to dis
pose OF them. Let the democracy dispose
oft them, assert them, select what they want
of them and pronounce themselves for or
against them, openly and unequivocaIly.-
But 1T is difficult to teach an old dog new
tricks The democracy will not profit by
experience. Jesuitry is so natural to them
that they cannot be quit of it.
At the home Of Mr.. Franklin Pierce they

he is IN favor of negro suffrage. In Yer

for the ear of President johnson. In New

are in favor Of a limited acknowledgements of
the freedmen. In Ohio they have meeting
whose ruling presiding spirit is the notori.
GUS secessionist Cory, and there they ap
piauded the revolutionary dogma of State
Sovereignty. Through Fallandighan, they
go for owning themselves in the wrong on
the question, and questions of the war, aud

Value of AmuSemHntS.

The world must be amused. 1t is
entirely false reasoning to suppose
that any human being can devote
himself exclusively to labor of any
description. 1t will not do. Rest,
alone, will not give him adequate re-
lief. He must be amused He must
enjoy himself. He must sing, laugh,
dance, eat, drink and be merry. lie
must chat with his friends. exercise
his mind in exciting, gentle emotions,
and his body in agreeable demonstra-
tions Of activity. The constitution
of the human system demands this.
1t exacts variety of influence and mo-
ton. It win not remain in health il
it cannot obtain that Variety Toc
much merriment affects it as1iniuri-
ously as too much sadness; too much
relaxation is as pernicious as none al
all. But, to the industrious toiler,
the sunshine of the heart is Just as
indispensable as the material sunshine
is toothe flower, both soon pine away
and die if deprived of it. l.Ja

THE CRoPs.-From our personal observa
tious during u tour extending into the States
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, Maryland aud Virginia, and
from the reports of our Exchanges we judge
that the prospect of an abundant crop of all
agricultural products in all parts of the north
ern States was never better We hear of no
locality where there is any injury from drouth
nor where any serious damage is being done
by insects or other causes A bountiful har
vest will doubtless crown the year, and added
to the blessings Of peace, will give new &C.
casion for rejoicing.
In our own state, from what we have seen,
the testimony of editors at the recent Edito-
rial Convention, and the reports of our Ex-
changes, we think the prospects of the crops
i'll Wisconsin are better than any year since
the extraordinary fruitful one of 1850 The
recent rains which have extended all over
the State, have dispelled any apprehensions
from drouth. There has been sonic talk in
one or two localities of injury by potatoe
bug and good deal said of the presence of
chinch bugs, but we do not hear that the lat
ter have as yet injured the grain to any con-
siderable extent, aud the rain must interfere
with their operations. MUdiSoR Journal.

SOLDIERS PAY-We have heretofore men

State Treasurer, SO soon as the proper papers

authorized to say, that such report is utter

Treasurer, so soon as received from the pay
master. Not cent is deducted even to pay
the postage on the letter containing the
money. This service is assumed by Mr..
Hastings, the Treasurer, simply to benefit
the soldiers and to allow them to go to
their homes at an earlier day than they otl :
