WORDS OF WISDOM.

The satisfaction we receive from scandal
doubtless arises from the assurance it gives
US that others are no better than ourselves.
Charity.-When charity walks into the
| lowest places of want, we see the beautiful
purity of her robes most distinctly.
Opinion and Confrmation.-No matter
how firmly we believe an opinion, it is al
ways strengthened by another's assent.
1t has been beautifully said that "the
veil which covers the face of futurity is wo.
ven by the hands of mercy"
Truth.-The truth should be maintained
without protestatlons. 1t loses dignity if
too much asservated.
One of the most important rules in the
science of manner is an almost absolute ST.
lence in regard to yourself
Men and Women.-The men who flat
ter the women do not know them sufficient
ly; and the men who only abuse them do
not know them at all.
The essence of true nobility is neglect of
sell. Let the thought of self pass in and
the beauty of great action is gone, like the
bloom of solid flower.
OlIteH6SS duu hluu AttohIlOuo. uC
forms and cerimonies of politeness may be
dispensed with in measure, in the relax
ations and intimacies of ones own freside,
but kind attentions never.
Try the effect of good will and hope up
on the man who has wrapt himself in the
covering of reckless and sullen dispair,
and yon will see verified the old apologize
of the sun, the wind and the traveller.
Patience and Censure.-Pope Julius
Ill. ordered all the attacts upon him and
his government to be laid before him. "If
true" said he, "they will serve for counsel;
if false, for diversion"
1t is an old saying and true one that
God helps those who help themselves. In
an immense majority of cases the circum-
stances by which men suffer themselves to
be overcome might be controlled and sur
mounted by vigorous effort,
Wyoming democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Wyoming Co., Pa.) 1867-1940, 1868-09-23

LABoRINe MEN MovING.-All over
the country the laboring people are NOV
ing in favor of the Democracy. They
want no more of Jacobin oppression, in
tolerance, bigotry, hate, Puritanisrn and
fanaticism. They are tired of putting in
the extra hours to support
Useless Standing Army.
A Corrupt and Rotten Navy
A Freedmen's Bureau.
An extra tax to pay the Bonds in Gold.
An extra tax to support Jacobin thieves
in offices.
They are beginning to see that they did
wrong in ever forsakipg the good old de-
mocracy. They see now that they should
always have stood by the party that was
ever their friends. But they are coming
to their country's rescue, nobly, manfully.
And as they come joyfully into the Dem
ocratic fold, they come singing
"We'll meet you Mr.. Bondholder,
Well meet you on the spot.
Where we'll stop your cutting coupons
From our little house and lot /"
Wyoming democrat. [volume] (Tunkhannock, Wyoming Co., Pa.) 1867-1940, 1868-09-23
FOR THE RADI-
CAL CANDIDATE.

Will the Hon. U. Mercur 60 before thu
people and avow himself in favor OF re-
trenchment and reform? Col. Piole
has publicly announced his determination
to begin system of retrenchment by re-
ducing the salary Of the Office for which
he is a candidate
Will the Radical candidate, Mr.. Mercur
come out and state just how much money
he has received from the Treasury for the
three years service he has performed as
member of Congress for this District p
We want the people to know JUST HOW
MUCH of their money, this grasping, ava
ricious man has had, for the ardunous
duties be has, performed
We are aware that the pay OF a member
Of Congress has reached the enormous sum
of FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS per annum,
Mr.. Mercur's advent to Congress; but
this is not all. 1t is not the half! Let
US know how much he has received while
travelling with free tickets over the vari-
Gus Railroads leading to and from the
Capitol! Just the sum he pocketed while
acting as member of the Committee ap-
pointed to investigate, ,"the Southern Rail
Roads !"
While Mr.. Mercur claims great credi:
for voting against the increase pay of mem-
bers of Congress, what evidence is there
on record, to show that he expressed bis
virtuous Indignation against this outrag &c,
by argument or protest? Certainly he
pocketed the money, or we should have
had his virtues trumpeted through all the
Radical Journals of his District!
Fellow-citizens of the District we have
been representedin in Congress twenty-five
years. by three Lawyers of no very great
celebrity in their profession, viz: David
Wilmot, Galusha A. Grow and Ulysses
Mercur. Will you not uphold us in the
effort to change the character of your
representation Do you not believe that
your true interests would be better con-
suited by sending a Farmer, a practical
business man, OF the character and stand
ing of Col. Piol!et, TO represent you, and
bring back salaries to standard COM
mensurate with other employments in
which the masses of our people are obliged
W euSdge!
1t is currently alleged that the Post-of-
fee Department is deprived of much of its
honest dues by Franked Envelopes with
Mr.. Mercur's name Stereotyped on them
and these envelopes are used by all the
CLIoUE in Towanda in furthering their
business and political correspondence
Query? Are these sold to enchance
his individual income, or are they given
out gratutiously to members of the Ring ?
Will some member of the Bar be good
enough to inform the people how much
it has cost the county, and how much 1t
has cost suitors in Court to put over cases
to suit the convenience of Lawyer Mercur,
while he was playing Counsel for individ-
uals before the Committee on Claims-or
concertipg plans for the impeachment of
the President ?-Bradford Argus.

COL. v. z. PIOLLET

Voters of the Thirteenth Congressional
District, you have placed in nomination
for the office of Representative in Con-
gress, gentleman who is truly Repre-
sentative man. Having worked his way
up along the arduous avenue of life uu-
aided gaining that practical education of
men and business that comes only by the
most stubborn attrition, and subtle obser-
vation-he stands before the people today
the peer of any collegian, TIE second to
no man in versatility of talent and rare
forensic ability, in Northern Pennsylva-
| MIA.
In Victor E. Piollet you have man
capable of defending your interests be-
fore any tribunal. With the moral cour-
age, and positive force to stand up and do
battle for the rights Of the tax-ridden
masses, by speech and protest in language
unequivocal, instead of silently voting or
m'ysteriously disappearing, when qnestions
of doubtful popularity are to be acted upon i!
Farmers, you have in him defender of
your calling one who has followed the
plow "from earl morn to dewy eve," and
eaten bread 10 the sweat of his face,
through the long, hot days of summer
feeling that rich consciousness of duty
we'll performed, that only he can feel, who
has "caused tUo blades Of grass to grow
where only one had grown before"
Business men of all kinds, we call upon
you to look to the men who are to shape
the destiny of your future. See to it that
they are men who are interested in ad-
vancing the productive industry of your
country. Discountenance the men who
would array labor against capital by levy
ing unequal taxation, or by the exemption
of any one class of standard values, from
the payment of their just proportion of the
national Indebtedness, equitably resting
upon all interests alike.
Begin system of retrenchment and re-
form.
Curtail the vast expenditures, each year
growing greater-labelled miscellaneous
and incidental. Set your faces against
corruption, and give your support to
party of equal ta1ss and just laws, whose
advocate and representative stands boldly
forth, in the person of the man who heads
this article.-Bradford Argus.

GRANT AS A GENERAL'-Greeley, in his
history of the war the Rebellion, has the
following in relation to one of Grants bat
ties:
"Twenty minutes after the first shot was
fired fully 10000 of our men were stretch
ed aud writhing on the sod or still and
calm in death, while the enemy,s loss was
probably little more than 1000. And
when, hours latter, orders were sent to each

LEIGH RITCHE AND THE BEGGAR-
When Leigh Ritche was travelling in
Ireland, he passed a man who was a pain
full spectacle of pallor, squallor aud rag
gedness. His heart smote him, and he
turned back.

don't you beg?"

"You didn't say word"
"Of course not, yer honor but see how
the skin is spakin' through me trowsers
and the bones cryin' out through me skin

starin' in me eyes! Man alive, isn't il
