A Picture of the Republican
Party---DraNRa by the
New York World.

The Republican party still sits
like bird Of evil omen, like ra-
pacious harpy, in every butchers S
stall, dcvonring half the carcass of
every sheep and bullock, reducing
what used to be a dollars worth Of
meat to less than half the same
number Of pounds; it perchcs Oh
every groc er's counter and snatchcs
out of his scales half the contents
which dollar used to balance it.
huttcrs in every dry goods shop, and
flies away with half the yards of
every ten dollars purchase. The
fact is none the less real because the
Republican harpy flaps no other Wis
ibIe wings than the paper notes of
the national banks, nor has any 9TH
cG bcak and talons than the clutches
Of the tax-gathcrcr. Everybody
sees that peace does not restore
plenty that although i million of
soldiers have been dismissed to in
dustry, helping to feed and clothc
the country, instead of being cloth
ed by it, the mass of our laboling
men still suffer the hardships, depri-
vations, and high prices of war.

country. The Clarion Banner gives
the following amusing account Of
the affair:
Among the sporting fraternity of
New Bethlehem, Clarion county
was young man, who recently run
2 1-3 miles in eighteen minutes,
which was considered pretty good,
and he carried his ''honors" with
becoming dignity. The "parient''
of the above named young lady know
ing that his "gal" was some on the
run herself laid a wager that she
could beat his time. This propo-
sition offering some fan, the bet was
quickly taken, and the young lady
entered the lists, confident of suc-
cess, and on the Goth ult., run sew
en- times round the ring, in that
town, which made her required dis
tancc, two miles and 4 half in sew
entccn minutes. The first round
she made in two and one third min
utes. The race was witnessed by a
large number of gentlemen and la
dies, and number of bets were
made on the result.
The young runner-ess now chal-
lenges any lady in Clarion county to
run a ace-distancc from one to
five miles-for twenty dollars side.
Who will compete with her for the
championship? Don't all speak at
once, ladies.

Old keaseI's Epi.aDh.

Many years ago, there lived an
Indian who was quite poet, hay
ing some little pieces that attract
ell attention. He had been educa-
ted in one of the New England col
leges, but subsequently, rclapsed in
to his former vices. In later life
he travelled through the country.

whisky by the exercise of his poet
lcal talent. During one year of
his tour nc put up with a man bv
the name of keasel, who had long
wished for an opportunity to get the
old fellow to write his cpitaph. Ac-
cordingly bargain was struck. -
The Indian, with all the warincss of
his tribe, sti pulatcd that after he
had got his supper, he should give
one half Of the epitaph, and the rest
after he got his breakfast in the
morning. Accordingly, after sup.
per, he requested the first install.

There was man WHO died of lat.
for whom angels did impatient wait
", mhh ontstretched arms and wings ofloyc,
TO watt him to the realms above.
va keasel was in extacics. He
could think of nothing but his epi-
taph. lie was almost willing to
die for the sake of having such beau
tlful verses inscribed on his tomb.
All night his visions were of the an.
gelic being who was destined to car
ry him to the regions of eternal fe.
nclty. In the morning he called IN
his neighbors to hear his beautiful
epltaph; but the poet preceded to
get ready for leaving, apparently
having forgot all about lis promises
lie was in the act of mounting his
pony when he was reminded Of it.
After little reflection, he signified
his ability to finish his task; but as
the friends of his host had not heard
the first part he said he would re-
peat 1T as preliminary to the last r.:
There was man who died of late.

Gems OF Thought.

One victory over ones self is
worth ten thousand over others.
AMUSEMENT AND ENTERTAINMENT.
We never respect persons who aim
simply to amuse us. There is a
vast difference between those we
call amusing men and those we de-
nominate entertaining; we laugh
with the former and reflect with the
latter.
SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS IN THE
WRONG DlRECTIoN.-The great
blessings of mankind arc within us,
and within our reach; but we shut
our eyes, and, like people in the
dark, we fall foul upon the very
things We search for, without find
ing it.
UNsoUGHT HApP1NEss.---Old sta
gers know that the way to be happy
is to give up all attempts to be So.
In other words, the cream of enjoy
mcnt in this life is always impromp-
tu. The chance walk; the unex-
pected visit; the unprcmedited
journey; the unsought conversation
or acquaintance.
SERENITY OF MIND. Enthusiasm
is always connected with tie senses,
whatever be the object that cxcites
it. The true strength of virtue is
serenity of mind, combined with a
deliberate and stcadfast determina-
ton to execute her laws. That is
the healthful condition of moral
life.
ELEVATION OF THE MIND. -Lof-
ty elevation of mind does not make
one Indifferent to the wants and suf-
fcrings of those who are below him;
on the contrary, as the rarificd air
of mountains makes distant objects
seem nearer, so are all his fellow
beings brought nearer to the heart
of him who looks upon them from
the height of wisdom.

lrIouA VIE NcN loTh lIlpuHe, NOV. -.
Col. j. W. Forney publishes in
his two papers, both d lily, sum
mary of the reasons WI ly Gen. Grant
ought to be the republican candi-
date for the presidency. He kindly
refralns from reviewing the military
career of the distinguished soldier;
but, as he dcvotes to the catalogue
of his civic virtues five solid col
umns of the biggest type ever used
on The PRESS, we cannot complain
that he has done less than justice to
his subject. AS human life is too
short for anybody to read five col
umns of The PRESS, we have reduc-
ed Col. Forncy's points to these: 1.
Gen. Grant succeeded Mr.. Stanton
as secretary Of war; this being an
act of ''rare sagacity and courage. "
2. Gen. Rawlings believes in
Grant. 3. E. B. Washburne be-
lieves in Grant. 4. Senator Thayer

VINO They Should Run.

we would suggest that they run
Butler and Stanton. They arc tie
representative men of the PARTY
embodying all that is dishonest,
eowardly, tyrannical. degrading,
and Infamous. Buffers chief de-
light was to steal spoons, insult wo-
men, and praise niggcrs; Stanton $
was to starve prisoners, fill bastilcs
with innocent men and women, and
give contracts to public thieves.
If these acts don't recommend them
to the Mongrcl nominating Conven.

But If under any circumstances.
the claims Of Butler and Stanton
should be overlooked, the next two
that claim the honor (?) ,fthe Mon
