Wcrc a saint from Heaven to be
placed in nomination for the Prcsi-
dency, 10y the Republican party, the
Democracy would cndcavcr TO
prove him a disciple Of the devil, and
would make some Of their intelligent
camp followers believe it. The lead
ing Democratic organs having at
some time or other acknowledged the
great merit Of Gen. Grant as a mill
tary commander, and having been
forced to commend his executive abil-
tiles as manifested while temporarily
in charge Of the War Department,
now find it difficult to Manufacture
charges possessing even The sem
blance of plaasibility, without stulti-
flying their o~n utlcrances. Redsced
to desperation, they have come down
TO the charge that Grant does not
talk enough! As though The Amer
lean people had not had enough of
eblabbing Presidents! As though The
Disgrace Of Andy's swing around the
the circle had not sunk deeply into
the heart and irrecoverably wounded
the pride of every true American.
As tao the bane Of our politics we,
not ID our hurting dcmagogues. As
though the American people we're so
obliyions 10 the Importance and grand
eur Of faction as to deliberately prefer
The ticklinSs Of fattery and the oily
assurances Of promises to be unfulIiIi-
cd, TO the nnmistaaable and priceless
logic of deeds! The American pco-
pie arc cmincntly practical; above all
things they honor and respect the
greatness Of action. One Of the most
distinguished Of the exemplifers of
ihi, greatness is Gen. Grant. Empbat.
ically a man Of action, he uses only
words enough 10 secure efficient act

when a forward movement was nee

Origin of Eminent Men.

Some of our newspapers are fond of plac-
ing before the public the origin of rich men.
We think the poor ones should have
chance so we relate the following brief
facts for the encouragement Of others.
John Smith was the son Of his father
He formerly resided 10 Stoke Pogis, and
other places but has moved to the peni-
tentiary now.
William Smith was the son OF his mother
This party's grandmother is deceased. She
was a woman.
Edward Brown was the son of old Brown.
Henry Jones was the son Of sea-cook.
William Cannon was the son of a gun.
John Jones was a Son of Temperance.
In early life Gabriel Jones was actually a
shoemaker. He is a shoemaker yet.
Patrick Murphy is said to be of Irish
extraction.
Gottlieb Frantzanborker was, at the age
of twenty-three, carpenter. He is yet
He claims to be Frenchman, but his name
would indicate THAT be was of Dutch ex-
traction.
Henry Hensel was the half brother, on
his mothers side, of Bill Ekes.

The Best Liquor.

"Gire us a glass of your best liquor"
said topper the other day as be entered the
shop.
The keeper filled g glass and gave il TO
him. The topper, without noticing it, dash-
ed it down his throat at swallow. He
soon began to taste and taste. seemingly
not exactly satisfied.
What's the matter % said the keeper,
"wasn't it good %
"Why, yes, it was good enough, but it
seems to me it wasn't very strong. What
kind Of liquor was it p
'Cold water" was the reply, chats the
best liquor we have in the shop. and l be-
lisve it's the best in town. AS for any 9TH
er kind we have not got any. for I left Of
selling some time ago. So you've saved
your three cents, and you'll feel better for
it Afterwards"
''Well," said the topper. elf this isn't
regular take in; but I believe you're half
right for all that. And, as you do not
charge anything for your liquor, have a
good mind to be your customer and see if l
caO't get rid of my headache and sore
eyes"
The shop Keeper encouraged him never
to drink anything but the best liquor, and
be departed.

Favorite Davs for Marriage.

The latest report Of the Rsgissrars- Gen
eral of England and Scotland show that no
two nations could differ more widely than
do the English and the Scotch with regard
to the choice of days of the week for mar
riage. The Scottish report states that the
favourable day for marriage ia Scotland is
the last day of the year, provided it does
not fall on Saturday or a Sunday. No
marriages are celebrated on Sunday in Scot
land, while in England it is the favorits day
of the week for marriage, thirty-lwo per
cent. of the marriages being contracted on
that day. Monday is a favorite day in both
countries. Saturday, in England, Is the
third day Of the week in order Of selection
for marriage, seventeen per cent. occurring
on that day but in Scotland no true Scot
will marry on a Saturday. nori indeed. be-
gin any work Of importance. With the
Scot Saturday is an unlucky day for marri-
age, and he is impressed with the supsrsti-
tious belief that If he married on q SatuF-
day one Of the parties would die before the
expiry Of the year, or that, If both suFyiv-
ed, the marriage would prove unfruitful.-
Hence it happens that Sunday and Saturday
the two laVorite days for marriage in Eng
land are blank days for marriage in Scot
land. Fridcy is the day on which the Eng
lish do not marry, but in Scotland it is one
of the favorite days for marriags.-Leisuys

A Wife's Love.

Woman's love, like the rose blossomiug
in the arid desert. spreads its rays over the
barren plain of the human heart, and while
all around it is black and desolate, it rises,
strengthened from the absence of every
other alarm. In ne situation does the /
OF woman appear more beautiful than ths
of wife's. Parents, brethren and friends.

wife is of distinct and different

devote herself toea suffering brother /; but
the fellings WhichIinduce her to this con-
duct are not such as those which induce 3
wife TO follow the husband of her choice
through every pain and peril that can be-
fall him /; TO watch over him ia danger, to
cheer him in adversely, and ever remain
unalterable at his side in the depths of ig-
nominy and shame. 1t is a heroic dsvo-
ton which a woman displays in adhering
to the fortunes of haPess husbapd.-

ing who seems to hold her existence by a

treme of human suffering nay, when the

powers of delight, and. by her words Of
comfort and patience, lead the murmurer
to peace and resignation.

To be Rieh ana to be Married.

It is often said that girls wish to be rich
and to be married, as if it were an aeousa-
ton against them. But Why should not
girls wish TO be rich and to be married p
Is there anything wrong ?-is there any
thing censurable ?-is there anything to
be condemned in either of these Wishss ?
The world is full of good and pleasant
things: have not girls, as we'll as men,
right to desire to possess and enjoy them !?
Must blood flow slow and sluggish, be-
cause it is in q woman's veins Shall her
pulses never leap with the thrills of an am
bitiOn, which is esteemed honorable in g
man
And why should not girls desire to be
married ? Marriage is an institution pos
sessing both human and divine sanction,
which it would be quite impossible 20 up
hold without the cooperation Of young wo-
men. Then have they no right to take an
interest in it, and, in fact, to look upon it
as an opening to them, as it does, their
most important sphere Of action.

I Wish I Had Ca itaI.

So we heard great straPPing young man
exclaim the other day in an Office. We did
want to give him piece of our mind 50
bad and we'll just write TO him. You
want capital, do you? And suppose you
had what you call capital. what would you
do with It? You want capital HaYsn't
you hands and feet and muscle and bone
and brains, and don't you call them capi-
tai What more capital did God giVsany-
body? "But they are not money" says
nobody can take them from you. Don't
you know how to use them If you don't
it's time you were learning. Take hold Of
the first plow, or hoe, or jackplane, or
broada&e that you can find. and go to work.
Your capital will soon yield you large in
terest. Ay. but there's the rub ! You do
not want to work ! you want money on ered-
it, that you may play gentleman and speCu.
late, and end by playing the vagabond.
Or you y ant plantation with plenty Of
hirelings upon it to do the work, while you
run over tbs country and dissipate or want
to marry some rich girl who may be foolish
enough to take you for your good looks,
that she may support you.
Shame on you young man Go to work
with the capital you have, and you'll soon
make interest enough upon it to give you
as much money as you want and make you
feel like a man. If you can't make money
on what capital you have. you could not
make it if you had million of dollars in
money. If you don't know how to use
bone and muscle and brains. you would OF
know how to use gold. If yOu let the cap
iGai that you have lie idle, and waste and
rust out, it would be the same thing with
you if you had gold you would only knew
how to waste it.
Then don't stand about idle. great help
less child waiting for something to come in
and feed you, but go to work. Take the
first work you can find, no matter what it
is, so that you may do well. Yes, Whatsv'
er you undertake, do it well f; always do
your best. If you manage the capital you
already have, you will soon have plenty
more to manage but if you won't or can't
manage the capital God has given you. you
will never have any other to manage. Do
you hear young man ?-EzeAange
