THE PROSPECTS.

In four weeks from next Tuesday, the
grea, Presidential campaign now pending
will reach lite climax. Then the recorded
will of the people will be taken. and the
strife OF political warfare be terminated Tor
a season
In Maine. The contest was fought in our
Gubernatorial election--still, we have TO 90
through the form ac ain, on the 81 OF No.
sember, OF voting Tor Presidential Electors.
Our opponents wall hardly attempt another
outlay OF money and labor such as they
have just expended IN vain, bat they will
endeavor TO collect their scatter cu forces and
make a respectable retreat
We must not abatc our interest in the
great warfare till we reach the end. The
prospect all over the country is full of en-.
coursgemen' TO our cause. and We must give
larger majority in November than in Sep
TENDER, though the aggregate vote NAV
fall somewhat below.
Now is the time. fellow Republicans. TO
pick up the sfraggleys from the recent dem.
ocTatic rout Many who voted with them
found themselves cheated and deceived and
are ready TO break away from their old
leaders. Look out for such and take

EoRCE oE IATACINATION.-A few years
ago a celebrated physician, author of an
excellent work on the force of imagination,
being desirous to add experimental TO his
theoretical knowledge, made application 10
the Minister OF Justice TO be allowed an
opportunity of proving what he asserted
by an experiment on criminal cundemn-
ed to death. The Minister complied with
his request, and delivered over TO him an
assAssin-a man who had been born of
distinguished parents. The physician told
him that several persons who had taken
an interest in his family bad obtained
leave Of the Minister that be should suffer
death in some other way than on the
scaflold, 10 avoid the disgrace of a public
execution, and that the easiest death he
could die would be blood letting. The
criminal agreed to the proposal, and count
ed himself Happy in being freed from the
painful exhibition he would otherwise
have been made of, and rejoiced at being
thus enabled to spare the feelings of his
friends and family At the time appointed
the physician repaired 10 the prison, and
the patient having been extended on a
ing ready, he was slightly pricked near
the principal veins of the legs and arms
with the point of pin. At the four COR
ners of the table were four little foun-
tains. filed with water, from which is
sued small streams falling into the basins
placed there 10 receive them The pa
tient, thinking it was his blood that
trickled into the basin, became weaker
and weaker by degrees. and the remarks
of the medical men in attendance in re-
ference to the quality and appearance of
the blood (made with that intention)
increased the delusion, and lie spoke more
and more family until his voice was at
length scarcely audible The profound
silence which reigned in the apartment,
and the constant dropping of the fountain,
had so extraordinary an effect upon the
mind of the poor patient, that all his vital
energies were soon gore, although before
a very strong man, and he died without
having lost sirgle drop OF elood'

Cory O'Lanus on Bachelors.

Cory O'Lanus argues the advantages
Of married life over boarding institutions
from the following standpoint:
Single-blessedness is not good for q man
of mature years.
He gets along very we'll for little
while, until his first fortHight's washing is
brought home, when ne begins to realize
the value Of matrimony by the absence Of
his shirt buttons.
Man can never be an independent crea
ture until the necessity for buttons can be
dispensed with.
In boarding~house a man has consid-
cradle conceit taken out of him.
His interest in the establishment is
limited-authority he has none.
The landlady agrees TO fodder him two
or three times day, and stable him at
night somewhere on the third floor.
He can't complain of the coffee or growl
if the potatoes are uHderdone.
If he doesn't like it he can leave it
There are other boarding>houses, and he
has choice of evils.
In the evening he has all the world be-
fore him.

There is the parior to be sure but the
young lady who has steady company is all
ready there.
You go.in and the damsel looks daggers.
Her young man looks as though he
would like to punch your head.
If you are possessed of sensitive and
sympathetic nature, you can't resist this
mute but eloquent appeal.
Especially when it comes home to you
as it does to me, that there was time
when you were similarly situated.
How would you like it yourself?
