is the glowing result:
Twenty-seven dollars paid out for

One broken little finger.
One bump on the head.
Nineteen lame packs. f...-.,.

One thumb dislocated.

A nose sweetly lammed, and five
uniforms spoiled from rolling in the
dirt.
I've played two weeks, and don t

but aches. I sleep nights dreaming
of hot balls, fly ''fowls," and de-
scending sky-rockets. / rever work

either. It's nice game for poet

How to Become a Millionaire.

John McDonough, the millionare
of New Orleans, has engraved upon
his tomb q series of maxims he had
prescribed as the rule for his guild
ance through life, an to which his
success in business is mainly attrib-
uted. They contain so much wis
dom that we copy them:
Rules for Guidance Of My Life,
18O4.-Remember always that la
Dor is one Of the conditions Of our
existence. Time is gold throw not
one minute away, but place each
one to account. Do unto all men
as you would be done by. Never
put off till tomorrow what you can
do to-day. Never bid another do
what you can do yourself. Never,
Never think any matter
SO trifiing as not to deserve
notice.. Never give out that which
does not first come iu. Never
spend but to produce. Let the
greatest order regulate the transac-
tons of your life. Study in your
course of life to do the greatest
amount ofgood. Deprive yourself
OF nothing necessary to your com
fort, but live in an honorable SIM
plicity. Labor, then to the last mo
ment Of your existence Pursue
strictly the above rules, and the Di-
vine blessings and riches of every
kind will flow upon you to hearts
content; but first Of all, remember
that the chief and the great duty OF
your life should be to tend, by all
means in your power, to the honor
and glory of our Divine Creator
The conclusion to which I have
arrived is that without temperance
there is no health ; with ut virtue no
order; without religion no happi-
ness and that the aim Of our being
is to live wisely, soberly and right
eously.

Democratic leader-and. The city Of
New York illustrates the purity of
Democratic politics. Meanwhile
the Democratic national politics, as
revealed in Democratic speeches,
resolutions, and editorials, is to re
tain just as much of the spirit of
slavery as possible ; otalk of con-
ciliating the Southern brother, if
he be q white exlrebel. and to
ridicule and despise him if he be,a
colored loyal man: while-virtual re-
pudiation Of the national debt is
openly advocated by the representa-
tive Democratic leaders of the West,
Now for the future political devel-
opment of this country there are but
just two fully organized parties.
Every man must act with one or the
other Of them. One is the Demo
cratic party, so Differed and with
such policy. 1t is instinctively
supported by the disloyal, ignorant,
and vicious element of the popula-
ton everywhere. The other is the
Republican party, of which many of
the best Democrats of the day be
fore the total servility OF the party
to slavery were among the founders
and are now leaders,, This party is
with equal instinctiveness supported
by the young, generous, thoughtful,
progressive, intelligent, and truly
American clement ofthc population
Its history is the record Of the tri-
umph Of the Union and of emanci-
patton. It's purpose is equal rights
and fair play for every man. The
noble impulses of human nature. the
course of civilization, the esympa-
thies of good men and OF the truest
liberal party in the land, are with it.
1t has made mistakes, like all par
ties. 1t has been used by we'll
meaning and ill-meaning adherents.
But it is still full Of energy and
youth. It's great purpose is still
unachieved. And why should any
man to whom that purpose is pre-
cious leave aparty Of such history
and of such an impulse to ally him
self with the other? II the Demo
cratic party would reorganize itself
in the hope Of future success, it can
only be upon the principles upon
which the Republican party is al
ready organized and has always
s.ood. When it throws cooper
headism" overheard, and abandons
a stagnant conservatism, and cnts
loose from it's pro slavery affinities
it throws away what strength it has
and in becoming wisely progressive
and in seeking justice and equa
rights ceases to be the Democratic
party. A few men may see that its
only chance as an organization lies
in becoming more Republican thar
the Republicans. But the sinner il
already past sixty. His nerves ar,
hopelessly shattered. He see,
snakes, and he can only weep ant
sigh for the youth which returns N
more.

VET.

Vet Vet What does it mean,
Upon yon soldiers faded coat2
His hand is hard and rough and brown,
see a scar along his throat;
His eyes seem looking far off still;
His close-shut mouth is firm and grim;
Mother, what means that little word,
Upon a sleeve so worn and dim?
1t means my child that rugged hand
Has welded musket long and well;
Has sent the iron thunder home,
And tuned the song of schreecning shell.
1t means that steady, staunch and true.
He fully won that ragged scar
While you and sat safe at home,
Aud read the news about the war.
What wonder if the mouth is grim,
That said so many swift ''good byesr'
Lifes comm on words are idle breath,
Beside those earnest battle cries.
What wonder if the gaze is dim,
And yonder stranger fingers yet?
The eye that has looked straight at death,
His image may not soon forget.
And that is what il means TO earn
The title Veteran on a coat;
To march through flood and field, or lie
Where rebel rifles swept the most;
To serve the guns in ride-pits;
To sleep beneath the silent sky;
To dream of home and wake to war;
To see eomrade drop and die.
| To hear and heed the fearful song
Which whistling minnie bullets sing;
To faint and fall, and longing lie
For one cool draught from rocky spring,
And this, my child is what it says,
That little word of letters three;
Go clasp his hand ahd give him thanks,
| For battles Won for you and me,
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1867-11-07
A Clerical Villain.

The st. Joseph (Mo. Herald has
the following relative to a former
citizen Of Ohio:
A false prophet has lately been
unearthed in our midst, with a his
tory replete in thrilling interest.
J. N. McHenry came to Ridgely,
Platt county, about year ago, from
Iowa. It is supposed that lie is
originally from Ohio, but his early
career is unknown. At Ridgely he
started a school, and met with sue
cess; he was at the head of all re-
forms, and particularly interested in
the subject of temperance he form
ed a large temperance society, and
by his own individual efforts had q
law passed by the authorities of the
town prohibiting the sale Of alco-
holic drinks within it's limits. From
the first he was constant attendant
on divine service. and in a few
months he became a communicate
Of the North Methodist Church; his
zeal was unbounded and his advance
mcnt rapid; soon he was appointed
the pastor OF the flock, and was
looked upon by all as the very per-
sonification of virtue and holiness.
AS a matter of course this pious
man was admitted into the first cir
cles of society; in fact friendly
rivalry for l.is favor sprang up in
the community. To one. house,
however, was his visits especially
directed, to the residence of a much
respected and comfortably provided
for widow lady, who lived in nretire-
ment with her only daughter-a
young girl just budding into woman
hood His suit was warm one and
his attentions were received with
satisfaction; her love was soon
gained, and her mother was but too
happy to confde the future OF her
daughter to the care of ber beloved
pastor; the marriage was forthwith
censummated and the newly welded
pair took up their residence with
their mother. 'l3 tan liiH vf
During the honeymoon, ,DIcienry
brought his bride to this CITY en- a
visit to her relatives; while here his
hypocrisy and wiclzedness we're first
manifested. He deserted his wife
aad sought the society of publicansl
and sinners; he was found by the
police in the company of harlots, and
in a state Of extreme intoxication
His wife was mortified and grieyed
beyond measure at this exposition
of the true character of her liegeI
lord, and contemplated an. immedi-
ate separation. The husband, how
ever, professed the most deep re
pentance, plead that it was his first
offence, and was pardoned.
Satiated with his triumph at
Ridgely, he painted for new field
Of action. Under a plea that he,
being known as a Union soldier, was
obnoxious to the rebels of Platte,
he persuaded his wife and mother
in-law to so with him to Wathena,
Kansas. There he established
fiourishing school, and his wife soon
regained her confidence in his
worth.
During the latter part of Septem-
Der last he borrowed all the money
in the possession of his wife and her
mother, and left home, as he stated.

Grant AS a Candidate.

The indications of popular senG-
ment in regard to the Republican
candidate for the Presidency, are
quite uniform in favor of Gen. Grant
With the exception of the New
York Iribanes expression of parti-
ality for Judge Chase, we have heard
of no Republican paper that has,
since the recent elections, commit
ted itself to any body but the Gener-
al. The Cincinnati Gazctte, in an
article on the Presidency says:
Eight or nine months must elapse
before the assembling of the Natio-
nal Convention. Meantime people
will think and discuss-and when the
time comes they will be prepared to
act intelligently While we do not
wish to prejudice any one for or
against men spoken of in connection
with the Presidency, we consider it
due to General Grant that his posi-
ton should not be misrepresented.
He is on the slate as a candidate !;
and at this time, it is not to be
denied, he stands at the head of the
list. @
