Brain Cudgeling.

Mr.. Thackeray never began upon
less than quire of letter paper. Half
of this he would cover with comic
drawings; fourth he would tear up
into minute pieces; and on two or three
slips of the remainder he would do his
work-walking about the room at in
tervals with his hands in his pockets,
and with a perturbed and woe-begone
expression of countenance. Some men
bite their nails; others stab the sides of
their study chairs with pen-knives;
others tear the fronts of their shirts !;
others eat blotting paper. One of the
most erudite photographers / ever knew
"a Franco-American, who wrote life
of Columbus-used to lie fiat down on
his stomach on the ground, and groyel
while he studied, ike the Old Serpent.
&c. a. Sala, IN Belgravia.

Beauty i'm Home Matters.

Engravings shed their spirit over a
household. The calm portraits of the
great and worthy dead exercise great
influence over me. l could look on
those over my own fireplace, until they
seem neither absent nor departed, but
living yet Every good picture is the
best of sermons and lectures. The
sense informs the soul Whatever you
have, have beauty. Let beauty be on
the paper on your walls. 1t is as easy
to choose paper suggestive of the
lovely in form and color, as the uncouth.
Why should not every household object
be sanctifed with this grateful charm
Each chair, each table, each tes or
chamber service, and every object for
kitchen or parlor, for the home of the
poor man, artisan, or mechanic, l would
have them all worthy of home of
TASTE Sidney Smith.

How Pat got to Boston.

Some years ago, an Irishman in the
city of Portland, Maine, accosted the
captain of a steamer, to inquire the fare
to Boston, when the following colloquy
ensued:
"Good mornin, Capting. Could you
be afther tellin' me what's the fare tc
Bostonp
"Three dollars" answered the cap
tain.
"But suppose 1 wint outsider"
'1n that case" said the captain, "yol
can go for two dollars"
This was evidently more money than
Pat had SO he scratched his head and
looked perplexed for a few moment;
when bright thought seemed to strike
him.
81 say, Capting, what would you be
afther takin hundred and sixty pounds
of freight for?"
"Seventy-five cents, replied the cap
tain.
"Thin you may put me down Cap.
ting, for Pm jist the boy that weighs
that"
The Captain turned TO the clerk, say
ing, "Put on the freight list one hun
dred and sixty pounds of live Irishuan,
and stow him in the hold"

Economy and Extravaganza.

Mr.. Beecher's short, secular, sermons
in the Ledger, manifest good deal Of
sound sense. Thus, in some words Of
advice to young men, he says;
I hear a good deal of Yankee mean
ness-of the spirit of trade and dicker
of the stinginess and parsimony of
Northern men. But while the manner
of showing economy may be unfortu-
nate, the essential spirit of thrift and
economy is a thousand times nobler
than that free-handed squandering of
money which gives spurious reputa-
ton for generosity to people who are on
the road to bankruptcy, and who have
long spent money not their own with a
special gracefulness.

PENDLEToN EscoRT.-This new name
may be seen in the windows Of an upper
room on Vine street. We supposed it
some new effort to yitalize the Pendleton
Club. We learn by the Enquirer that
it is project to enlist crowd of PES-
DLEFoN Democrats to go in a gang to
the Democratic National Convention at
New York TO carry Pendleton's nom-
ination by external aud internal press
ure. 1t is to be joined by gangs Of
the same sort from other towns and
States, and is expected to become ire
sistible by force ofnumbers.
Escort is new term in our election
eering operations. The genius Of our
people tends to shorten and smooth
the pronunciation of words which large
ly exercise the mouth. Colloquialiy,
this name would sound ike Pendleton

is To squirt PeedletOn in.-Cm. Coz,

General Grant was never successful
in winning victory, except when he
had three or four men to his enemy's
one. AS he has got no such odds now,
it is pretty certain that he can't defeat
the Democracy of the country.-T Cleus-
land Plain Dealer.
We have heard it rumored that since
it became certain that Grant would be
the Republican candidate, Copperhead
editors have been making vigorous ef-
forts to supply themselves with files of
rebel papers published at Richmond and
Charleston in '63 and '64, when Grant
was the principal object of Confederate
abuse. We are glad to see that our
neighbor of the Plain Dealer has Sc
cured his file. We remember reading
the first part of the Plain Dealers par
agraph in an editorial of the Richmond
Enquirer while lying before Petersburg.
We hope to see our Democratic ex-
changes filed with these secondhand
Confederate editorials. They are touch
ing "reminiscences of the lost cause, and
powerful Republican campaign docu-
ments. REGISTER.

OH the clouds are dark, and the wind doth blow,
And the air is full Of the white, white snow,
And the bare limbs toss like being mad,
And my soul is sick and my heart is sad,
For the Spring that makes my life so glad
Will never come, know.
Obi the morning comes like kings high throne,
And the sunshine falls where the moonlight shone;
And the earth is bright and the flowers are gay,
And the birds sing sweet as the song Of May,
But cannot brush my tears away,
For the bird loved hath fosni
Tho the night hath come, it is lovely yet,
For the fre-fies dance thro' the shades of let.
And the moon CLEANS soft as the silver snow,
And stars are bright with their timid glow,
But all the while my heart beats low,
For my one bright star hath set!
Oh the flowers they come when the south wind blows
And the violet bends, and cypress glows,
And they light our earth like golden fame
And they link our lives with fairy chain,
But my heart still beats with a dull, dull pain,
For the thorn is on my rosel
OH the years they come, and the years they go,
With their summer flowers and their winters snow
And glide along with the careless thrcng,
But my heart is sad and smile hath gone,
For the JOY that made my life song
VIII come no more, know!

The Arab PrOYarb.

"Let me tell thee proverb the Arabs
have: Chickens, like Curses, always
come home to roost." The legislation
of the Democracy in this State will
come home to trouble them when they
least expect it. For instance; There is
a prominent and rampant Democrat in
Van Vert county who has always been
noted for his fierce opposition to giving
the negroes any civil or political rights.
His daughters during the last canvass
were among the Democratic females
who rode in professions carrying ban
ners inscribed, Fathers, protect US
from negro equalityF' But since the
passage of the Visible Admixture bill
it has transpired that this leading Dem
ocratic negro-hater is himself one-eighth
negro. The Republicans of Van Vert
swear that he shan't vote at the next
election, believing that sauce for goose
is sauce for gander. And the Repubi-
cans Of Van Vert county generally
carry out what they undertake to do.

She stood behind the counter
The day I'll ne'er forget
She thought the muslin dearcr-
Than any she'd seen yet;
I watched her playful fingers
The silk and satin toss;
Ths clerk looked quite uneasy,
And nodded at the boss;
"Show me some velvet ribbon,
Barege and satin turk"
She said, 81 want to purchase"
Then gave the goods jerk.
The clerk was all obedience,
He travelled ION his shape"
At length with hesitation,
She bought a yard of tape.

Campaign Drinstrclsy.

Disraeli (the elder says somewhere that it
would be as difficult to discover the origin of
rhyming as that of dancing. In every age
every people--the Chinese, the Hebrews, the
Greeks, the Romans, the Scandinavians, the
Germans, the Spanish, the French, the Eng
lsh-has had versifed popular literature Of
its own. In this country each Presidential
campaign has had Its own minstrelsy, in which
the fun and foolery and occasionally the wit
and poetry of the time have found vent. Be-
You'd all comparison the most jovial campaign
minstrelsy we have ever had was that which
was sung all over the land previous, to the cleo
ton of Harrison and Tyler. Old Joe Hoxie,
who ''still lives" was then young and, as the
Spiritualists would say, 'inspirational," and
fairly sung the people out Of their senses
and 1ippecanoc into the White House. But
after careful and impartial perusal of the
songs thus far inspired by the actual Presiden-
tial contest we must confess that we end in
those of neither the democratic nor the repub-
ucan muse single line equal 10 the memorable
Tippeoanoo and Tyler too.

Why Nor?-By Atlantic telegraph we learn
that the Corporation of the city of Cork, Ire

resolution urging the British government to
pardon and discharge from imprisonment all
persons serving out sentences for completely in

incarcerated have done the least damage to the
British government there seems to be no
reason why they should be kept in prison at
the public expense. However earnest In their

Napoleon the Peace Omcer Of Europe.

Napoleon the Peace Onicer Of Europe.
M. Magne, Minister of Finance of France,
visited the city of his birth Immediately after
the success of the new loan. He was enter
tanned at grand banquet by his fellow towns
men, to whom he delivered what is classcd in
France as 'apacifc" address. The Minister
claimed that peace would endure for the rea-
sons that Europe needed it, and Napoleon
''desred it !" France was strong enough to
preserve peace, and 1t was no ones interest to
break it," The French Emperor is thus ele-
waited to the position of chief special constable
of Europe, promoted, after many years,
from that of private constable living
In London. M. MagHes speech may, how
ever, like the Irishmans dream, be read by
''conthrarics !" for the man who can command
peace because he ''desires" IL can equally
make war should he ''desire" IT, Napoleon
the First always alleged before o campaign
that mo one had an interest in war" After
the campaign was opened he asserted that
some one or other Of his ''perfdious" neigh
bors broke the peace and ''goaded" him into
hostilities. II is to be hoped that Napoleon
the Third will not be ''goaded" to throw up
his commission as peace officer and draw on
M. Magne for the credits for ''the army of
France"

muse. We are well aware that, as tn the case
OF the famous ''Lillibulero, the most influential
songs have been BY no means the most poeticai
A happy refrain, felloitous phrase or nick
name, or an energetic and sometimes even
coarse expression of the popular sentiment,
has often made the fortune Of very Indifferent
song In times Of political excitement. But IL
we must pronounce verdict upon the relative
merits OF the democratic and the republican
rhymes suggested by the present campaign
we shall have to say six Of the one and half
dozen Of the other. Both are about equally
devoid OF poetry and wit. Even the lines
which bear the names Of the late Miles
O'Reilly and Of Whittier-although, Of course,
superior to the rest-oannOt prevent us from
calling upon the bards Of the two parties to try
to do something better than has yet been con-
tributed by them to the fugitive literature OF
the day. 1t will not be easy to fire either the
democratic or the republican heart with such
campaign minstrelsy as we have givea speci-
mems Of to-day.

a Learned Hebrew ON the Situation.
"A distinguished Isrselite of Keokuk, Iowa,
mas been recently discoursing upon politics.
He Is evidently not q rabbi but. we should
Judge' rather politician, from the tenor of
his speech. The hostility to General Grant
on the part OF the children of judah on account
OF certain orders issued by him during the
war inlmical to the Jewish race formed a part
of the theme of this gentleman's address: but
he argues that this little circumstance should
not influence the Israelites in the coming cleo
ton to the extent Of arraying themselves on
the side of anarchy and war against equal Jus
tice, peace and order. In other words, this
learned Hebrew is on the stump for General
Grant, although he admits that the indigna-
ton of his race against the radical candidate
may be just. Unlike the leading Jew of Shak-
speare's genius-who declared that if Chris
tian pinched him he would squirm, if he tickled
him he would be compelled to laugh, if he spit
upon his gabardine he would cherish up q
deadly revenge-this learned Hebrew says, III
man spit in my face publicly, if he had
kicked me, if by voting for him could save
liberty and justice, would do it," Now, in
this charitable sentiment there is direct con-
tradiction of the spirit which animated
Shylock, who held to the traditonary doc
trine of an eye for on eye and tooth for q
tooth, pound Of flesh on the letter of the
bond. Therefore he argues that the Jews should
vote for Grant in order that historians may
not have the opportunity of writing the fact
that an enslaved and oppressed race like the
Jews went back upon the negroes, negro suf-
frage and negro equality. But perhaps the
most striking point in his speech is the allusion
to the sacrifice of Calvary as a political
blunder made by some leading aristocratic
Jews Of eighteen hundred years ago, the
effects Of which ''blunder," he says, have been
visited upon the whole Jewish race down to
the present day The Hebrew orator, whose
name is Green, with the prefix of NOah-a
representative of one of the first families Of
Judea-conjures his countrymen not to make
another ''blunder" by voting against General
Grant.
