| IHE RADICAL EICToRY.-The immediate
fruits OF conservative victory have been
denied us by the recent elections. but ii
does not follow that radicalism has been in
vested with the absolute power necessary
tOcOnsummate the mischief il ontem platss 8.
"A review of the election returns demon
strates that radicalism has gained nothing
in the general result. Its power in con-
gress or elsewhere is not increased. It
has simply maintained its present nominal
strength, and it has done this with the
help of conservative votes. If one-half
the leading politicians to whom radicalism
IS odious, but who supported radicalism at
the polls, had labored for the success of
conservative principles outside of the radi-
cal organization. Fenton would have been
beaten in New York and the President
would have been triumphantly sustained
throughout the country. But false as this
conservative element has been in the elec-
tions, it still remains alive active and in
fiuential. Radicalism could not have sue
ceeded without an alliance with it on Tues
day it cannot succeed in opposition to it
now, either in congress or in the states.-
1t was not Horace Greeley who elected
Fenton in New York, but Henry J. Ray
mond, the author of the PHILADELPHIA plat
form, backed by the New York Herald
and the Erening Post. Without the help
of Raymond, Bennett and Bryant, the rad
ical party would now have been writhing
in defeat and without the aid of Ray
mond, Bennett and Bryant-aid which it
cannot have-that party will find itself
hereafter divided in congress and practic-
ally powerlcss in its efforts to depose the
president and subvert the government.-

EARLY MARRIAcEs.-The Rev. Henry
Morgan lectured few evenings since in
Boston upon "Young Men and Early
Marriage The Herald of that city, the
next morning, gave the following elaborate
report of it "Text, Prov. 1922; Whose
tindeth wife fndeth a good thing, and
obtaineth favor of the Lord Said the
speaker, Mature, history, and revelation,
declare: 1t is not good that man should
not be alone He needs help-mate /; a
wife is the balance wheel, the regulator,
the guardian angel of husbands trust,
confidence and prosperity. Politically, So
cially, morally and spiritually man re-
auires wife. Man needs home. The
Romans gave bachelors no legacies. Cor
inth denied them sepulture, Athenians
scourged them. In Plato's commonwealth,
at the age of thirty-five they were fined.-
Man is but half man without wife. In
all your gettings get wife, and never rest
from getting until you get married. Bet
ter live in an attic under the hallowed in
Aucnce of a wife than revel in palace OF
dissipation. Man needs home. Mar
riare is the legitimate basis of a genuine
home. Look at the deplorable condition
the young men Of this city without
homes. Boarding-houscs are not homes.
Here, men arc congrcgated with no cleva-
ting society of woman, no home influences,
no place for mental or moral improvement,
no altar Of prayer, no angel of love. In
Philadelphia there are more homes in pro-
portion to it's population than in Boston,
hence Boston has an unequal contest in
the battle Of morals"

DEMONSTRATIONS Ward in letter to
''Punch,' describing his visit to the tower
of London, thus speaks Of traitors:-A war

Traitors Gate the armors and things

but beyond this | couldn't see that it was
superior to gates in gen'ral. Traiters, l
will here remark, are onfortnit class of
people. If they wasn't they wouldn't be
traters. They conspire to break up coun-
try-they fail, & they're traters. They
bust her, and they become statesmen and
heroes.
''Take the case of Gloster, afterwards
Old Dick the Three, who ma be seen at
the tower on horseback, in heavy tin ov-
ercoat-take Mr.. Gloster's case. Mr.. G..
was conspirator of the basist dye, and
had he failed he would have been hung on
a sour apple-tree. But Mr.. G. succeeded
and became great. He was slewd by Col.
Richmond, but he lives in history, and his

pence, in conjunction with other EN- 'nent
persons, and no extra charge for the

A tall, raw-boned Yankee was riding a
diminutive specimen of the donkey tribe
through the muddy streets of Gotham; and
the animal being very stubborn, Jonathan
found it quite difficult to induce him to &C
cclerate his pace.
He used the persuasive eloquence of a
hickory stick, however and at eachlblow he
would d awl out, Git up Bonypart, git up,
I say!'
A little Frenchman, in passing, heard,
with rage, the name of his illustrious
countryman applied to the ugly beast, and
commenced hcaping vollcy.of abuse on the
head of the offending Yankee.
"Sair." shouted the Gaul, "vot for you

"Git up, Bonypart was the only re

The st. Paul Press says that Mr.. J. d.
Williams, of Nine Mile Greek, while re-
turning home from Minneapolis, after
dark, where he had sold large lot of
wheat, was shot and killed by highway
robbers and left in his wagon, where he
was found by couple Of citizens whose
attention was called to the team, by its
having no driver. His pockets had been
riaed. The Press further says: "Some-
thing, however, must be done to rid this
community of its unhung murdcrers.'
Our locality is plagued some by chaps
who cannot tell the property Of others from
their own. We hear Of several attempts
at familiarity with doors and windows with
which the outsiders were evidently unfa
miliar. 1t is said that shooting viii
commence very soon if these habits of thu
"fancy" are not changed. Shooting, at oul
house, is always in order at those who can
not give an honest eoantcrsign.

The Owl

The Owl
Burds is Gods choirestcrs.
Few the lion he gave majesty, tew the
elephant strength, tew the fox cunning, and
tew the tiger deceit. But to the burds his
pets he gave buty and song.
And none so blest as the owl.
The owl is game burd; he can whip
enything that wears feathers latter dark.
lie is wise burd, and boots ut most
things.
He is sollem burd and sets up as stiff as
a exclamation point!
lie is luxurious burd, End feeds on
spring chickens.
He is a long lived burd, and never was
known to take death natrally.
He is hardy burd, and srocs tuff by
bileing.
He is a honest burd, and aluz shows an
open countenance.
lie is a prompt burd, and satisfize at once
his outstanding bill.
He is comfortable burd, and ALWAYS
sleeps in feathers.
He is an attentive burd, and during the
day can alwuz be found in.
He is festive burd, and don't come
home till morning.
Thus the owl is mistaken emblem NV
solitude and sadness, if we dig into his
nature closely, is emphatically one Nv the
boys, and belongs to the club.

"MASHooD SUFFRAGE People who
are clamoring for "manhood suffrage
would be we'll to look Mt the condition of
the countries in which ''manhood suffrage
prevails, before pressing their demand to
conclusion. Look at Mexico, and the
so called Republic of South America,
where manhood whether embodied in
negro, Indian, zambo, mcstizo or monkey,
has its suffrage" In Ill Of them, where
the Government rests on the suffrages of
mixed races, confusion, anarchy and tur-
moil arc permanent. Brazil, the only
South American Government which pos
sesses stability and offers security for life
or property, is despotism. Yet the wis
dom and foresight Of our radical sages
would reduce the South to the condition OF
Mexico, and the miserable parodies on
free government which exist in South

THE EMPTY SLEEVES.

BY the moons pale light to a gazing throng,
Let me tell one tale-let me sing one song:
It's tale devoid of an aim or plan,
It's the simple song of one-armed man:
TIL this very hour would you e'er believe
What q queer, weird thing is an empty sleevel
It tells, In silent way to all,
OF country's need and a cOuntry's call;
Ofa kiss and prayer fer child and wife,
And a hurried march for nations life.
Till this very hour would you e'er believe
What telltale thing is an empty sleevei
II tells of a battlefield Of gore:
OF the sabers clash and the cannon's roar;
OF the whizzng shot and the screaming shell,
And scene that mimics the scenes of hell,
Till thiSvery hour would you e'er believe
What horrible thing is an empty sleevsi
II tells of rush at q leaders call,
To scene where death held carnival;
Ola furious charge at the bugle's note
And gurgling sound in foemans throat,
Till this very hour would you e'er believe
What terrible thing il and empty sleeve!
1t tells ofa thousand nameless graves.
Where slnnlbeI Thousand loyal braves:
" . widows and an orphans prayer,
AND mothers tear for a "vacant chair"
Till this very hour would you e'er believe
What msurnful thing is an empty sleevef
Though It points to a myriad seams and scars,
Yetft tells that flag with the stripes and stars,
In Gods own chosen time, shall wave
Ger land where drOops no cOwardly slave
Till this very hour would you e'er believe
What hopeful thing is an empty sleeve!

TIE END OF ALL TuINGs.-Rev. Dr.,
Cummings, we see by late literary an
nouncemcnts in London, is about to put to
press another book entitled "The Sound
ing of the last trumpet, or the Last Woe."
The Doctor in this work kindly postpOnes
the day Of doom till 1870. As all his pre-
drctions heretofore have been melancholy
failures, so we may humbly hope that the
one he now puts forth is equally wide OF
the mark. While there is room for rea-
sonable doubt that the world is growing
any better as it is growing older, yet,
there are so many incorrigible people IN 1t
who may reform, if they are given an ex-
tension of time, one could but wish, II on

stances, is but the dismal phantasy OF q
