A WEAK DOnGE.

To show the desperation of the
Radical cause, it is only necessary to
point to the fact of their attempting
to cajole and snipe" the foreigner
into supporting their ticket. When
it is remembered with what unanimity
the leaders of the Republican party, in
Legislative bodies, newspapers, and
on the stump, have howled the declar-
alton that negro is q better man than
the foreign-born citizen, more agreea-
bic as social companion, and better
qualified to exercise the elective fran
chise, the brazonness and ctfrontery
of that party in soliciting their votes
is amazing. Ifspecimens are wanting
ofRepublican regard for foreigners we
cite you to Colfax's Know Nothing
oath ut South Bend, Indiana, before
his election to- congress, that he would
use every legal means in his power fur
the prescription of foreigners. Also
to General Grants Galena biographer,
who says that Grant "took no interest
in politics, and would not go to the
Ipolls, but that if he had any political
preference it was for the Known 9TH
ling candidates" Or take the author
Iity of old blatant, foul-mouthed Ben.
Wade, who said in his speech at Ma
pietta, Ohio: "If you will take the
whisky-bloated Irishmen, or the lager
bellied Dutchman, or the frog eating
Frenchmen, who comes to the United
States and knows nothing of your in
Istitutions-if you will permit him to
vete-than | will insist npon the same
right for the negroes. In my iudg-
ment the negroes, rs mass, are bet
ter qualified to discharge their duties
under this government, than the great
mass, equal to them in numbers, that
come from foreign land, and have al
ways been permitted to vote"
The above named men are at pres
ent-and two of them for years have
been-representative aud shining
lights in the party which is now beg
ging for the once scorncd aud dcspis-
ed foreigners vote, but the dodge is
too weak and gIaringly inconsistent
it will not work. The large and
Intelligent class of German and Irish
citizens now on American soil know
their men and are not To be gullcd and
hood-winkers by any such shallow
tricks. All those of them who have
formerly voted with the Radicals, are
discovering the trickery and corrup-
tion of that party, and with very few
exceptions, are flocking over to the
standard of Democracy and right.
Heretofore the German vote was about
equally divided between the two par
ties, but since the nominations they
are almost 4 unit for Seymour and
Blair. The Irish Americans never did
take much stock in the Radical party,
and they are taking less now than
ever. Verify, the Repub" cake is
dough!

A New Convert.


A jolly party of the citizens of csrtaintowu
in New York went on fishing excursion last
week, and as they were mostly Of Republican
tendencies. concluded to attend the Republican
County Convention on the way to the ponds
thereby ecouomizing in time and money. Now
one of the fishermen, whom we will call Smith
was square Democrat, and went only for the
fishing and not for the politics. His comrade
whom we will call Jones, on the way TO Roches-
ter, threatened to publish him as a full delegate
to the Republican Convention. Smith says:
No, you don't"
Jones says Hanged if don't"
The Convention being over, and the party
arrived at the pond, Smith and Jones by them
selves, started upon the ice. Smith ahead,
Jones behind-when, unfortunately, Jones
pumped into an air-hole and stuck in the mud
below.
Halo, Smith I'm in--help me out" cried
Jones'
Ha, ha, ha," laughed Smith.
"What are you laughing at, you foOl2-
Help me out, don't you see I'm freezing 2" said
Jones earnestly.
Jones, my boy, will you vote the Demo
cratic ticket next March ?" said Smith, Sc
riously
"No, sir; I'll die in the Republican faith,
said Jones firmly.
"Well," said Smith it's my duty to
strengthen my party. What do you want me
to say to your family?'
Come, come; stop fooling, and help me
out" said Jones emphatically.
Duty before pleasure" said Smith cOolly,
sitting down on the ice.
Poor Jones struggled and pushed, but the
harder he pushed the deeper he sunk. The
cold, cold water had filed his vest pockets, and
then his watch pocket, and was now beginning
to tricke down over his buttoned vest.
"For Gods sake, Smith, are you going to
sit there and see me die ?" shrieked he.
"My dear boy, will you vote the Democratic
ticket next March ?" said Smith, solemnly.
Jones hcstatel but the water was bubbling
about his chin and an anxious look at the
countenance of Smith convinced him that
there was no show, he said:
Smith, if YOU will only help me out, I'll
vote the Democratic ticket in the spring and
form the fall
agreed" said Smith, enthusiastically, and
he pulled with such alacity that Jones was out
in a ifTy. a rousng fire was built and Jones
was soon dried and warmed, inside and out.

A Bargain at Dry Goods Store.

there was posted, not many years since, this
pacard: " No reasonable offer refused" II
chanced that a very pretty maiden was a clerk
in the establishment 4 youth, just in the
tender peach bloom period, being somewhat
enamored of the fair lady, noticed the placard
as he was passing by, and at once rushed into
the store, where the following conversation en-
sued Youth to the fair: II noticed your
placard in the window, aud thought Id come
in" "Yes, said the lady, glad to see you let
me sell you some goods" "Well, said the
youth, Il would like to buy some dry goods,
but ! want a pretty little face in EN-. ]

would take the best dress-pattern You have,
and also yourself Every well, " said the fair
clerk, Il must stick to my text; its trade

in the bargain There was soon after we'd
ding. and the sign, No reasonable offer re-
fused, became quite popular among the lady

Death.

We have never read any thing more beau
tiful than the following from the pen Of Geo.
d. Prentice;
"There is but breath OF air and beat OF
the heart betwixt this world and the next
And in the brief interval Of painful and awful
suspense, while we feel that death is present
with us, that we are powerless, and He all pow
erful and the faint pulsations here is but tho
prelude of endless life hereafter, we feel in tho
midst of the stunning calamity about TO befall
us that the earth has no compensating good to
mitigate the severity Of our loss But there is
no grief without some benefcent provision to
soften its intenseness. When the good and
lovely die the memory Of their good deeds, like
the moon beams on the stormy sea, light up
our darkened hearts and lends to the surround
ing gloom a beauty so sad, so sweet, that we
would not, if we coull dispel the darkness that
enyirons It,"
