MR.. JONEs's TRIALS.

Mr.. Jones was married. lie had been
married long time. ever since he could
remember almost The first Mrs Jones
was pretty schoel boy love, and died
early. Mr. Jones was inconsolable for
more than six months, and then, hnding
the burden Of his gricfs Toe heavy to be
borne alone, decided to share his rogtcts
with a sympathizing friend. The con
nection WAS happy one for many years,
but elias for the mutubiity of earthly
pleasure Mr.. Jones was again widow
CT at the age Of forty years, and being
extremely lonely, and having the habit Of
marrying, he offered his broken life and
bereaved affections TO Miss Patience Nor
cross, mature youug lady of Thirty.
We have said that Mr.. Jones had a
habit Of being married, aud it had SO
grown upon him that, had Providence op
pened the way. be would in all probabil

meDts With succession of consultations.
But in selecting Miss Patience he had no
regard to comp thilly of temper. lie
had never thought anything about it. His
other marriages had been happy accidents
aud, so far as he knew and reflected. that
was the order Of nature. But Miss Pa
tienec had habit. and it was III accord
ance with her name for it was a failing
that leaned to virtues side, and beyond
it. She lived iu the remote and in the
future. The present with her was never
anything but make shift, mere TEN
parry expedient till better times. Distance
not ouly lent enchantment to her objects
of pursuit, but was absolutely the only
charm 10 which she was sensitive. She
really liked Mr. Jones almost mp % The
hour of his proposal she meekiy tolerat-
ed him ever after.
They were boarding for time, aud
the wife said submlssivcly to all her
friends,
"0h, yes, il is very comfortable for the
present, lill we feel able to keep house"
Mr.. Jones. sitter the remark had been
reiterated for the fftieth time, asserted
that he was able to keep house. To prove
this. be engaged and furnished a tasteful
tenement, and another year saw Miss Pa

HOME EDUCATION VS.. THE STREET.
The elder Weller had high opinion
Of the street as a school,. and the street
has certain advantages, as the confidence
gained in the street may tend to give
strength to character if properly support
cd by the influence of home. But when
we see young meu thronging the streets
at night, coming out of bar rooms. with
cigars in their mouths and profanity very
ready on their lips we feel disposed to
doupt whether there IL not little too
much of the street in the display. These
are the ones who are to become voters and
decide who is to rule the uation, and ju-
dicious people might trcmbe at the re
fexion Parents are to blame for this
street preference. The home influence
has not been strong enough, and the street

LET Us HAVE PEACE"

Impeachment dead, hope revives. 1t
should seem that we might, with rea-
son, count on the triumph of the DEM
ocrats next Fall, and with it return
to Constitutional government. But
we have so often been cheated by orr
hopes. Time and again Mr.. JOHNSON
has seemed to have gotten his foes un-
der foot, but time and again they have
risen and overmastered him. This may
well happen once more.
We have gone long way out Of oul
reckoning, and the return to safe moor

How to get II back, how to undo all the
mad laws passed in his behalf. These
are grievous puzzles. Worst Of all, is
the unsettled question of State rights.
The Democrats in Michigan have
lately said with not less truth :han
strength, that the Radical theory is at
war with the Republican form OF gov
eminent. But are the Democrats them
selves altogether sound? It is plain
that If a State have not the right to quit
and be wholly done with government,
no matter of what kind or by whom
guided, it is the thrall of the Power,
call it how you Will, which is strong
enough to forbid the use Of such right.
But, it will be said, these are far off
things. Our work is with the great and
heavy evil at hand. That overcome.
we shall surely be letter off, and with
the better times and better feelings,
light enough may come to show us the
way through other troubles. True; and
we shall act up to that truth. We shall
give hearty aid and cry God speed so
the Democratic ehieftain, be hs whom
he may. But from our standpoint, we
can but think it were best could the
ruling minds in all parts of the country
own the fact that the Republic is too
lax for so mighty and restless people
that, in fact, it has even now passed |
away-and that the time has come fora |
new and stable order ofthings. Grant |
speaks to the point, when he says ''let |
us have peace" He has chosen wretch |
