Cabinet Making.

We notice that a number Of our cotem-
poraries, both Republican and Democratic,
have gone into the cabinet making bust
ness, on quite an extensive scale. They
have labored SO heartily and rapidly in
the work, that they have already got to
gether several complete suits ready for
Mr. Wade when he seats himself in the
Presidential chair. As cid Ben. is no
slorch, when hewing, slashing and fS;ing
up is necessary, we opine that it would be
just as-well to ease up little, aud see
what he says and does for himself. When
re!ires to his goose and lapboaFd
in Tennessee, it will be time enough to
see what is wanted; and if Ben. Wade
isn's the nan to sait himself and the
country better than any one else can d.
it, we are much mistaken. Of ore thing

EVERYDAY PHILOSOPHY.

Hans Patrick O'Conner, formerly known
by the nom DE- plume of Bean llacket,"
contributed the following to the st. Louis
Home Journal:
Never insure yonr life for the benefit of
your wife for a greater sum than ten thou
sand dollars. A widow with more money
than that is a dangerous legacy to leave
posterity.
The game of life is very much like a
game of cards. Time deals. death cuts,
and everybody is waiting for the last trump.

they are afraid to drink by themselves. 1t
requires considerable courage to stand up

Everybody is anxious to get TO Heaven,
but nobody is in hurry about it.
If man is without enemies L would not

When an acquaintance says, How are
you? and pushes by you without waiting

tions of {, our intended is to marry another

GETTING ROPE ENoUGH The Com
nercidi in reference to the Rump Congress
proceedings against Judge Field, Of the Su-
preme Court, thinks that nothing will come
out of all this, but that the resolution is a
fair illustration of the partisan action Of
Congress, and the terrorism they seek to
inspire in all over whom they have any con-
troll. The editor says:
" If General offends them they legis.
late him out of bis commission. Ifthc Su-
preme Court is supposed to hold the same
opinion of certain laws of Congress that
Thad. Stevens does,viz. that they are "out-
side the Constitution the Supreme Court
is to be shorn of its power. If a Judge
gives expression to his private views, he is
to be impeached. 1t is all intolerance, big
otry, despotism. The acts of Congress
cannot bear the light, and Congress is de-
termined that they shall be accepted in the
dark, and so executed as to effect the par
tisans and unpatriotic purposes Of their
trainers who care more for an election than
they do for their country. The Radicals
are getting good deal Of rope lately, and
the usual result is sure to follow"

@The Radicals increased the national
debt about twenty millions of dollars du-
ring the past month. But twenty millions.
almost million day, is scarcely noticed.
Bonds were issued to that amount. The
interes, on the bonds sold was at the rate
OF five per cent. in gold. At the present
rate, this is equal to seven per cent. in
creenbacks. We have added TO the annual
expenses of our government, one million
four hundred thousand dollars in single
month. The total debt of the United States
to day, is thirty millions more than it was
on the first of December last. 1t is ten
millions more than it was on the first day
ofJuly, 1867. The Radical party is cost
ly luxury. Can the people of this nation
afford to continue it in power2

KiLLrNG.-Ministers, in our day, rarely
object to an increase of salary, but we find
in an exchange capital story Of an old Con-
necticut parson, who declined it for very subs
stantial reasons. His country parish raised
his salary from $500 to S4OO. The good man
objected, for three reasons:
'First," said he, "because you can't afford
to give the more than $500.
Second, because my preaching isn't worth
more than that"
third, because have to collect my salary
which, heretofore, has been the hardest part
of my labors among you. If have to COL

A Plea For Mean Men.

The Missouri Republican has a cores
pondent who undertakes the thankless task
OF defending mean men. He endeavors to
prove in elaborate essay the superiority
of mean man to the good fellow of our
period. And in the good sootb, be comes
nearer to success in his task than it Is po-
litic to acknowledge.
One thing mean man is remarkable for,
is bis reliability. You always know where
to find him. Ask him to contribute a
testimonial to Podgers or subscribe to the
relief of Smuggs. He says no. But he
also acts so. He don't give cent. Put
the same appeal to good fellow, and he
says, Certainly my dear boy put me down
for a V, subsequently enjoying the privi.
lege ofmakiug the subscription good out of
your own pocket. For good fellow al
ways says yes, but never acts yes.
So far We have discoursed on the text
given by our topic. Now let the cores
pondent speak for himself:
Who makes the best husband? At the risk
of bringing down torrent of curses on my
unprotected head, shall still adhere to the
man who is supposed to have no heart or
genuine sentiment. The good fellow for
lover, the mean man for a husband. The
latter will rob all creation TO supply his
household; the former will aoh his family to
accommodate his friend. From all the
married woman in st. Louis in a solid col
umn up and downFourth street, and if |
don't get ninety and nine out of one hun
dred in favor of my proposition, / will
treat the drinking community to barrel
of gin and water on the election Of female
President. Good fellows all love; mean
man, all business, One takes his wife to
the opera in four horse carriage, the other
rides triumphantly in street ON nhus.-
The good fellow can never be cross TO any
body but his wife the mean man is so sour
with all the rest of the world that he has
not one particle of ill-temper to spare at
home.
g Love rules the camp, the court, the grove.
For love is heaven and heaven is love
But it wont buy beef A mean man sell
dom gets " salubrious, he is too mean
His wife is never jealous. She knows all
woman hate him, because he is mean, and
she rather likes it. She laughs and grows
fat. Good fellow drinks; too kind hearted
TO refuse, and he loves everybody. Good
fellows wife pale and emanciated. dccrepit
with care and full of sorrow; mean cuss's
wife hale and hearty, fat, red faced, and
weighs ton. Am | rights

EE Congress compels the taxpayers
of the North to support large standing
army for the purpose of making the ignor-
ant and barbarous blacks the Rulers of
the white race. Eight millions Of white
men are to be controlled by four millions
of negroes, and the people of the North
are made the tools for carrying out this
revolving programme. Negro suffrage has
been rejected by every Northern State, and
yet Northern Representatives force negro
equality upon the South This monstrous
usurpation, which we will not tolerate at
home in any form,is forced upon an unwiI-

ling stair.
In yonder room the newly dead doth sleep,
Begin we now, my friend. our watch to keep
And now both feed the FIRE and trim the lamp,
Pass cheerily, if we can, the slow paced hours !;
For all without is cold. ard dresr, and damp,
And the wide air with storm and darkaess lowers,
Pass cheeriy if We may, the liveIong night,
Putting pale phantoms, paler sleep to flight.
We will not talk of death, of pail and knell-
Leave that the mirth of brighter hours TO check
But tales of life, love, beauty, let US tell,
Or of stern battle, sea, and stormy wreck
Call up the visions gay of other days
Our boyhoOd freaks, our careless, youthful ways.
Hark to the distant bell an hour is gone
Unlatch the parlor door and bring the light;
Our brief but solemn duty must be done
To dip the cloth, nd stay Deaths fastening
blight,
To bare the ghastly face, and dip the cloth
That hides mortal, crushed before the moth
The bathing liquids scents the chilly room
OF spectral white are shroud and yelling lace,
On yonder sideboard in the fearful gloom
Take off the sitter from the sleeper's face
Heaven did you speak, my friend of CHASTITY
eye?
Ah, wha: vision of beauty here doth lie
Never hath art, from purest wax or stone,
So fair an image, and so lustriOus, wrought
1t is as if beam from heaven had shown
A weary angel in sweet slumber caught
The smiling lip, the slightly tinted cheek
And all so calm, 20 saint-like and so meek
They sing of beauty in the silver mOOn
And beauty in the penciled, dropping flower;
They tell of flushing eye and Turing tone
In radiant Hopes and rosy Health's gay hour
But where is beauty. in this rounded world
Like death upon maden's lip, impe&rled
Veil thou the dead close to the open door
Perhaps the spirit, ere it soar above,
Would watch Its clay alone, and hover Ger
The face it once did kinde into love;
Commune we hence, o, friend, this wakeful
night,
Of Death made lovely by this blessed sight

YOUTH AND AGE.

I often think each tottering form
That limps along in Iife's decline,
Once bore a heart as young, as warm,
AS full of idle thoughts as mine
And each has had its dream Of joy,
His own unequalrd pure romance
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrills at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passions: more unearthIy truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes ma could tell Of tender lay
At midnight penued in classic shades,
Of days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maids.
OF whispers in a willing ear,
OF kisses on a blushing cheek,
Each kiss, each whisper, far too dear,
Our modern lips TO give or speak,
Of passions too untimely crossed;
OF passions slighted or betrayed
OF kindred spirits early lost.
And buds that blossom but to fade.
OF beaming eyes and dresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have ell passed away,
And left them what We see them now
And is it thus--is human love
So very light and frail thing ?
And must youths brightest visions move
Forever on Times restless wing 2
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms so fair 10 sight,
Hereafter only come to this ?
Then what are earths best visions worth,
If we at length must lose them thus
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from US
