Anna Dickinson, in a woman's
rights meeting at Boston lately, gave
some "reminiscences of her early life
She had done hard manual labor, had
sewed, taught, copied letters, stood in
the store, worked in the Mint, before
she chose the platform as a profession.
Miss Dickinson brought down the
house by the statement that the first
money she ever earned was by scrub
bing walks in Philadelphia, and that
she was actuated to undertake the la
Dor by determination to obtain the
means to buy q ticket to hear Wendell

who Call Themselves ''DemO-
. (rats,,s


We clip the following extract from a
speech delivered by Gov. Morton, at In:
dianapolis, last week:
Every unregenerate rebel lately in arms
against his Government calls, himself
Democrat. .H n ..
Every "bounty Jumper" every ode
Fserter," every "sneak," who ran away
from the draft, calls himself a Democrat.
Bowles, Milligan, Walker, Dodd, Horsey
and Humphries, call themselves Demo-
Gratis. Every "Son of Liberty" who con-
Fspired to murder, burn, rob arsenals and
lrelease rebel prisoners, calls himself a
Democrat John Morgan, Sue Mundy,
Champ Ferguson, Wirz, Payne and Booth
proclaimed themselves Democrats. Every
man who labored for the rebellion in the
field, who murdered Uuion prisoners by
lcruelty and starvation, gho conspirtd to
bring about civil war iilthe loyal States,
who invented dangereea.- Compounds to
burn steamboats, and Northern cities who
contrived hellish schemes to introduce into
Northern cities the wasting pestilence of
yellow fever, calls himself Democrat
Every dishonest contractor who has been
convicted of defrauding the Government
every dishonest paymaster or disbursing
officer who has been convicted of squan-
dering the public money at the gaming
table or I'm gold gambling operations
every officer In the army who was dis
| missed for cowardice or disloyalty, calls
E himself a Democrat. Every wolfin sleeps
clothing, who preteuds TO preach the gos-
pei, but proclaims the righteousness of
= man-selling and slavery-overy one who
shoots down negroes in the streets, burns
: negro school-houses and meeting houses,
/ and murders women and children by the
light of their own flaming dwellings, calls
himself Democrat. Every New York
rioter in 1868, who burned up little chill
dren in colored asylums-who robbed,
] ravished and murdered indiscriminately
in the midst Of blazing city, for three
. days and nights, called himself Demo-
crat. In short, the Democratic party may
. be described as common sewer and loath-
some receptacle, into which is emptied
0 every element of treason North and South
j. and every element of inhumanity and bar
d barism which has dishonored the age.
/, And this party, composed of the mel
and elements have described, in defianc
: of truth and decency, asserts itself as tn
o special champion of the Constitution ant
e the Union, which, but a short sxteel
1 months ago. it was In arms to destroy, anC
9 proclaims to an astonished world that the
! only effect of vanquishing armed rebels in
the field is to return them to seats in Con.
gress, and to restore them to political pow.
: er; Having failed to destroy the Consti.
/ tuition by force, they seek to do it by con
. struction, and assume to have made tn,
, remarkable discovery that rebels VIII,
fought to destroy the Constitution were il
: true friends, and that the men who she,
l. their blood and gave their substance T.
l. preserve it were its only enemies.

+ n Presbyterian Clergyman named
Lindsey has been air sted at Medina,
n. ", for whipping his little son
(three years oldl to death. The Of
fence was, that the child refused to say
its prayers to its stepmother. The
father then whipped the child over
two hours, with shingle, causing its
death. The brute justlflcs the act on
the ground that it was his duty to whip
the child until il was subdued. The
citizens of the place were so highly
incensed at his conduct that the Off
GERS could hardly restrain them from
lynching him.

The Reading (Pa.) Journal, published at
the home of Hester Clymer, the Democrat
ic nominee for Governor, says:
"Against Mr.. Clymer, personally, we
have nothing to say-against him political
ly, we will have much to say in the course
OF the campaign. His record, fortunately
for the people, is public one, and he can
not hide 1t. He pds the VALLANDraHAM OF
Pennsylvania throughout the t0ar, and when
his votes, his speeches, his acts, are
thoroughly ventilated, and the people
and especially the returned soldiers--come
to know his political status, he will meet
with a condemnation scarcely less over
whelming than that which befel Vallandig.
ham, when he ran for similar office tive
years ago, in the Buckeye State"
There is some talk among the Democrats
OF Withdrawing Clymer. Whether they dc
or not, there is pretty good prospect o.
Gen. Geary's being allowed to "walk over
the course" ...l..H

A GOOD SELL.-The Keokuk IoWa)
Gate city tells us how a copperhead
was "sold out" the other day, as fol-
lows: A copperhead stepped up to a
young man as he approached the
polls, and gave him a reconstructed
ticket, saying with fascinating smile,
"You can vote that" The young
man took the ticket and looked at it.
1t was fixed up in disguise form, pop.
ular with Copperheadism since the
death of the Southern Confederacy.-
There was on it an eagle and Andrew
Johnson's name and the names of the
reconstructed candidates.
81 seldom vote a straight ticket
said the young man, "but can vote a
part of it,"
He tore off the NIarshal's name,
then the Alderman's, then the May
or's, then Andy Johnson's.
"There," said he, "I can go the ca
gle."
The "reconstructed'' left him in dis
gust.

The other Life.

The Knlckerbocker quotes from some
unknown divine this thought concern
ing the future life, and the beautiful IL
lustration which followsit:
"What the other life may do to me,
know not" says the eloquent man,
"but This 1 know and feel; / shall
awaken in Gods likeness and see Him
as He is, and out of every longing 1
hear Him say, o, thirsty, hungry soul,
come to me.".
If a child had been born and spent
all his life in the Mammoth Cave, how
impossible would it be for him to COM
prehend the upper worldl Parents
might tell him of its life and light and
beauty and its sounds of joy; they
might heap up the sand into mounds
and try to show him, by stalactities,
how grass and flowers and trees grow
out of the ground, till at length with
laborious thinking, the child would
fancy he had gained true idea of the
unknown land. And yet, though ht
longcd to behold it, when the day
came that he was to go forth, it would
be with regret, for the familiar crys
tails and rock-hewn rooms, and tho
quiet that reigned therein. But wher
he came up, some May morning, will
ten thousand birds singing in the trees
and the heavens bright and blue, ant
fnll of sunlight, and the wind blowing
softly through the young leaves all
glitter with dew, and the landscap
stretching away green, beautiful to tn
horizon with what rapture would h
gaze about him, and see how poo
were all the fancyings and interprets
tions which were made within tn
cave of the things which grew and liv
ed without; and how he would wonde
that he could ever have regretted t
leave the silence and dreary darknes
of his old abode. So, when we emerg
from this cave of earth into that Ian
where spring growths are, and whel
is eternal summer, how shall we woI
der that we have clung so fondly
= this dark and barren life!
Is there not a "better land ?"
