The Foundation Of a Home,

How many mistaken ideas are there
as to what constitutes a home! Home
is a word of our language sadly mis-
used. 1t is often spoken, but seldom
in its true sense. In its false inter-
nretation it includes every place
where human beings are passing
their lives.
The thatched cottage of the peas
ant; the rough log cabin OF the
pioneer; the house Of poverty with
It's broken window panes, through
which the wintry blasts whistle, the
white walled frame of the farmer;
the capacious brick of the merchant;
the corniced and porticoed mansion
of the millionaire, and the golden
laid palace OF the king, all are class
ed as "hOme." That they are places
where many are passing their lives,
we well know, but how many are
homes in the true sense of that sa-
cred word.
There is wide difference between
"home" and a residence" One
is heaven upon earth, the other
we'll nigh pandemonium. Love
and contentment make home.
These are it's guardian angels. While
they hover around its walls it is a
home in reality as well as in name.
When they take flight there is q sad
change.
In the crowded thoroughfare, in
the country village, by the wayside,
on every hand, a hundred times al
most each day, we hear the express
sion, "Let us 60 home" Alas how
few of have the homes OF which you
speak.
You are a wife. That white cot
tage, with its neat garden fence, its
treen and well trained shrubbery
: it's rich and fragrant flowers, with
q their scented leaves sprinkled thick

WHAT Is LIFE THE mere lapse
of wears is not life. To eat, and
drink, and sleep-to be exposed to
darkness and the light to pace
round in the mill of habit, and turn
thought into an implement of trade
this is not life. In all this but a
moor fraction Of the consciousness of
humanity is awakened, and the sane
titles still slumber which make 1t
worth while to be. knowledge, truth,
love, beauty, goodness. faith, alone
can give vitality to the mechanism
of existence. The laugh of mirth
that vibrates through the heart-the
tears that freshen the dry wastes
within-the music that brings child
hood back-the prayer that calls the
mture near-the doubt which makes
MS meditate-thed death which start.
les us with mystery-the hardshlpS
which forces us to struggle-the alX'
iety that ends in trust-are the true
pourishments of our natural being

rY The weak man is continually
futtering between suspicion about
the conduct of others, and surprised
even if his suspicious are verified.
The wise man is less troubled by sus'
picions, and has read too much, and
seen too much, to be greatly surpris-
ed at anything when it comes. 1t is
strange that the experience of so
many ages should not make us judge
more solidly of the present and OF
the future, so as to take proper meas
ureS in the one FOR the other. We

The Legal Brand of Military
TnUa.tH


The late decision of the United States
Supreme Court, that the military courts
which held such high and bloody carnival.
during the war-consigning to ignominious
death, to dungeons. to poverty and public
contumely hundreds of innocent men and
women--were unlawful Enthusiastically
that they were but violent mobs-should be
and is, universally hailed as Il most signiil-
cant aud triumphant vindication of the
policy pursued toward such bodies by
Democratic statesmen and journalists.
Now, when the war is oYer--that is, the
war Of serried ranks, of marching columns
when the din of battle is hushed aud the
myriad hosts so lately in bloody conflict,
have departed from the tented field, and
the civil courts are restored to their func-
tons, the highest tribunal in the land pro-
nounces a solemn, authoritative judgment
that the Democratic party was right and
that the arbitrary proceedings against
which it protested were as lawless rs they
were high-handed. Its noble sacrifices OF
ease and reputation will hereafter shine as
one of the brightest chapters in the history
constitutional government.
That Supreme Court which, paralized by
the despotic arm of military usurpation,
was made powerless, during the war, to
either prevent or punish those infamous
bodies, Military Courts, has now again as
sumed and asserted its prerogatiye--the
highest tribunal of a civil Government; and,
by its Independent action and firm opinion,
what encouragement there is to the lately
reviled Democracy.
And, as q cotemporary says, if the Court

To THE DEMOCRACY or ONO:
a State Convention Of the Democracy of

for the transaction OF such other business
as may come before it:
GOrerHor,

additional delegate for every 800 votes cast
torTHoMAs NJ. KEY for Supreme Judge ut
the last election and an additional dele
gate for every fraction of $50 or more votes
so cast.
This ratio gives to the counties collec-
lively 5l5Delegates, to MONTGOMERY couu-
ty. tselce.l
1t is respectfully suggested that as far rs
it may be practical and convenient, the del
egates be chosen on Saturday, the both day
Of December.
We avail ourselves OF this occasion TO
urge upon the Democracy an Immediate
organization, and especially township and
ward organization. Now is the time to
spread useful information among the peo-
pie; but this can not be done without a
thorough and efficient organization. That
our principles will ultimately triumph we
do not doubt-for TO DO that would be TO
doubt the possibility of free government
but we can not achieve sttccess, and avert
despotism, without labor; and we can not
begin our labors too soon orprosecute them
too earnestly and steadfastly.

Committee.
