The mule is q very pretty, dohestick

for any animal except lap-dog, but he's
rather ungainly for that
He is the only animal known whose

ears longer than is strictly clasaic. They
haint got so much tale, in proporshun, as

about what little they have; it aint a

Keen Troubles to Yourself.


Speak not troubles over loud,
Lest the world should hear;
Bow not yoar.head before the crowd,
In public shed no tear.
Strangers form a heaftless sect
Too apt to worship pelf;
Sc, if you wish to gain respect,
Keep troubles to yourself.
The wise will never own defeat,
Though hope be almost dead;
But, smiling, all disasters meet,
With proud defiant head;
Even with ready jest,
In darkest time of woe,
Striving, struggling for the best,
Midst tears that none shall know. :.
Ths fool who tells of his Distress
Hurries on disaster,
And tempts the sordid one to press
His owing claims the iaster;.>
Till down beneath he slowly goes,
Meaning still the sadder,
Be,et by coward, heartIess blows, :"
To fell him from the ladder.
Be ever cheerful to the crowd,
And bide no croakers near you;
Be courteous, yet cold and proad,
And fools will learn to fear you;
Thus, manfully, ever lay
Your doubling on the shelf, ~.
IND ever from the light of day,
Keep troubles to yourself:

Radical Frauds,

The Radicals cry fraud in
the North, and endeayor to
brand the Democratic party
with the stigma of debauch-
ing the ballot box by the
Wholesale introduction of i'm
proper votes. But they have
not sustiiled the allegat on.
3 1t has been proven mere
blll political trick. On the
contrary what have they to
answer when the monstrous
frauds in the Southern States
are charged their account2
In all that portion of the I'm
ion they have only made the
elections a farce. In the first
place, negroes can vote with
out any qualifications or re-
/. strietions. Then a large ma
jority of the white men arc
disfranchised. When not
disfranchiscd, they must reg
lister, and, sail the officers
entrusted with that duty are
Radicals, they place on the
lists only such persons as they
think proper. AT the polls
no challenges are allowed
The man who dare. to-qnestion
the action of the Registers is
at once arrested, fined and
imprisoned. AS to making
up and returning the votes,
that is on par with the other
fraudulent machinerby which
the party in power .hold in
thrall white men and elevate
negroes, This fraud is en-
dorsed and defended by tie
Radical party. They eulo-
gize it in Congress, pray for
it in the pulpit, and magnify
its results in lectures and adj
dresses. And yet the party
which concocted and now up
holdsthis unparalleled scheme
Of fraud, andadds that in mi
nor acts of a like character in
this and onther States of the
North, breaches purity like
an Arab mouths chastity and
morality. The Radical party
is an incarnate fraud, and its
acts partake of the central
principle ofits organization.
