GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS, -,Jo

GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS. j ohm
Quincy Adams has written letter accept
ing the democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,. He declares that
the recent course Of the republican party
has been such as to destroy his confidence
in it. He thinks it has shown great in
competency in dealing with the questions
of finance and taxation, and denounces the
tariff as nothing more than legalized rob-
berry. He says that unless these evils are
corrected the overwhelmed taxpayers will
have some semblance Of reason in declar-
ing in favor of reputation. Believing
that the democratic party proposes a REM
edy for the national troubles, he consents
to be its candidate for Governor,

AGAINST A CONVENTION The Chariot
tesvllie Chronicle, Of Saturday, says:
The astounding revolution at the North
the certain and unexpected development
OF a just and conservative public sentiment
IN that region as evidenced in Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio, and all Of the recent elections
has emboldened us to change our opinion,
and we are now in favor of united and
determined effort on the 22d of this month
to vote down the proposed Convention. =
Inspired by the noble protest of the people
of Ohio and Pennsy lvania, we think it now
possible to rally the conservative voters of
Virginia to the polls for the purpose Of de-
featlng the iniquitous measures Of the rad
ical politicians

portion of the time. Of the last session Of
Congress was occupied in preparations for
a solemn inquisition to determine whether
the State governments of Kentucky and
Maryland are Republican in form. This
was done simply because they had dared
to give Democratic majorities. Now that
Pennsylvania and Ohio have done precise
~ the same thing, new congressional
committee will have to be raised to inquire
into the genuine Republicanism Of their

Little Things.

The preciousncss of little things was never
more beautifully expressed than in the follow
ing moroccan by B. +. Taylor:
Little martin boxes of homes are generally
the most happy and cozy; little villages are
nearer to being atoms of shattered paradise
than anything we know of and little fortunes
bring the most content, and little hopes the
least disappointments.
Little words are the sweetest to hear; little
charities fly firthest, and stay longest on the
wing little lakes are the stillest, little hearts
the fullest, and little farms the best titled
Little books are the most read, and little songs
the most loved And when nature would
make anything especially rare and beautiful,
she makes it little little pearls, ittcdiamonds,
little dews.
Everybody calls that little that they love
best OH earth. We once heard good sort Of
a man speak of bis little wife, and we fancied
she must be perfect little bIou of wife
We saw her, and she weighed 2l0; we were
surprised. But then it was no joke; the man
meant it. He could put his wife in his heart
and have room for other things beside; and
what was she but precious, and what was she
but little?
Multum in Parvo-much in little-is the
great beauty of all we love best, hope for most
and remember the longest.

The Hope ofMan.

Final success-the JOY of lifes ripe harvest
is the goal of our human hopes. No wise or
thoughtful man will live merely for to-day
The pilgrim who seeks home is not content
to lngcr and loiter for the mere flowers beside
his way. The sower looks onward to fields
white and ready for the sickle. Wisdom has
regard to the grand issue. The triumph or the
pleasure of to-day is transitory. We want a
hope that does not sink with the setting sun.
The true success in life is that which does not
fail the evening of our days, or leave them to
blight our barrenness. We want that shout OF
''harvest home" that will not die into silence
with the fainting breath, but make passage OF
the grave whispering gallery where heaven
and earth talk togeler We want something
that will reach beyond time-beyond the things
of the present-something that will take hold
on eternity.

Natural Religion.

Come quickly away with me, and we will
walk up and down the narrow path, by the
sweetbrier hedge; and we will listen to the low
song of the black-bird, and the fresh air will
cool our aching brows, and we shall find COM
fort. To these things fresh air and the birds
song, and the fragrance Of the lovely flowers,
God has given blessing; like sleep, they are
His medicines-the balm of sweet minds We
walk to and fro under the shade of those elms,
and we will be calm; bitter recollections shall
be made sweet by the thought of His mercics
and in the midst Of the sorrows we have in our
hearts His comforts shall refresh our souls and
our minds shall be stored with many thoughts,
sweet, ike the perfume Of these flowers.

NIarrying for Show.

To the question often asked Of young men as
to why they do not marry, we sometimes hear
the reply, " / am not able to support wife. .
In one case in three, perhaps, this may be so
but, as a general thing,I the true reply would
be, 81 am not able to support the style in which
| think my wife ought to live" In this again
We see false view of Marriage looking to
ag appearance in the world, Instead of a union
with loving woman for her own sake There
are very few men of industrious habits who
cannot maintain wife, if they are willing to
live economically, and without reference to the
opinion of the world. The great evil is, they
are not willing to begin life humbly, to retire
together into obscure position, and together
work their way in the world-he by industry
in his calling, and she by dispensing with pru-
dence the money that lie earns. But they must
stand out, and attract the attentions Of others
by. their fine houses and fine clothes.

VARYIsH FOR SHoEs.-It is bad plan to
grease the upper leather of shoes for the pur-
pose of keeping them soft, it rots the leather
and admits dampness more readily. 1t is bet
ter to make varnish thus:
Put halfa pound Of gum shellac, broken up in
small pieces, in quart bottle or jug, cover it
with alcohol, cork it tight and put it on shelf
in warm place; shake it well several times 8
day, then add piece Of gum camphor as large
as a hens egg shake it well and in few
hours shake it again, and add one ounce Of
lampblack; if the alcohol is good, it will be
dissolved in three days; then shake and use.
If it gets too thick, add alcohol--pour out two
or three teaspoonfuls in saucer, and apply'it
with small paint brush. lfthe materials are
all good it will dry in about five minutes, and
will be removed only by weanngit of, giving
a gloss almost equal to patent leather.
The advantage Of this preparation above O.
theirs is that it does not strike into the leather
and make it hard, but remains on the surface
and vet excludes the water almost perfectly
This same preparation is admirable for harness,
and does not soil when touched as lamrpiack
mixtures do.
