HEClGtEC OF IA lAAAMslm Lie.
We commend the following beauti-
ful alIegory by Addison. It was first
published in the year 17fI, and it
truthfully represents the actual facts
of table of mortality:
"The bridge thou seest," said he,
is human life; consider itattentively. .
Upon a more leisurely survey of it,
found that it consisted of three score
and ten arches, with several broken
arches, which, added to those that
were entire, made up the number
about one hundred. As I was count
ing the arches, the genius told me
that this bridge consisted at first Of a
thousand arches, but that great
flood swept away the rest, and left
the bridge in the ruinous condition
now beheld it.
"But tell me further, said I, "what
thou discoVerest on it?D 81 see null
t tudes of people passing over il, /" said
I, sand black cloud hanging on
each end oft" As I looked more
attentively, I saw several of the pas
sengers dropping through the bridge
into the great tide that flowed under
meath it; and, upon further examina-
tion, perceived that there were innu-
.merable trap-doors that lay concealed
in the bridge, which the passengers no
sooner trod upon but they fell through
them into the tide, and Immediately
disappeared. These hideous pits were
set very thick at the entrance of the
bridge, so that the throngs of people
no sooner break through the cloud
but many of them fall into them.
They grew thinner towards the mid
die, but multiplied and laid closer to-
gether towards the end of the arches
that were entire. There were indeed
some persons, but their number was
small, that continued a kind of hob
bling march on the broken arches, but
fell through one after another, being
quite spent with so long walk"

CandOr.

Candor consists in giving q fair
and deliberate hearing to opinions,
statements and arguments, and weigh
ing fairly and honestly their tenden-
ey. It is, therefore, opposed to pre-
judice, blind attachment and to pre-
conceived opinions, and that narrow,
disputatious spirit which delights 10
captious criticism, and will not hear q
thing with calmness that is opposed
to its own views-whieh distrusts or
misrepresents the sentiments
of its opponents, asePibing to
them unworthy motives, or deducing
from them conclusions which they do
not warrant. CandOr, accordingly,
may be considered as a compound Of
Justice and a love Of truth.

Men do not care for brains in excess
in women. They like sympathetic
intellect which can follow them, and
seize their thoughts as quickly as
they are uttered, but they do not
care much for any clear OF special
knowledge of feets; and even the
most philosophio among them would
rather not be set right in a classical
quotation, an astronomical calcula.
tion, or the exact bearing Of a polite
cal question, by lovely being in tar.
letane whom he was graeiously un-
bending to instruct. Neither do they
want anything strong-minded. To
most men, indeed, the. feminine
strong-mindedness that can discuss
immoral problems without blushing,
and despise religious observances as
useful only to weak souls. is a quality
as unWOmanly as a Well-developed BIZ
ceps or a hU ge Est would be. Il Is
sympathy, not antagOnism; il is com.
panionship, not rivalry, still less su-
Premacy, that they ike in woman;
and some women with bFains as we'll
as learniRg-for the two are not the
same thing-understand this, and
keep their blue stockings well cover
ed by their pettieoats.
Others, enthusiasts for the free ,
dom Of thought and intellectual
rights, show theirs defautly, and
meet with their reward. Men shrink
from them. Even clever men, able
to meet them on their own ground,
do not feel drawn to them, willie all
but high-class minds are dwarfed and
Inundated by their learning and their
moral courage. And this is what no
man likes to feel in the presence of a
woman and because Of her superioris
ty. But the brains most useful to
to women, and most BETTING their
work in life, are those which show
themselves in common sense, in good
and that kind Of patient
courage which enables them to bear
small crosses and great trials alike
with dignity and good temper. Mere
intellectual culture, however valuable
it may be in itself, does not reach to
the worth Of this kind Of moral pow
er, for as the true domain Of woman
is the home, and her way Of ordering
her domestic life the best test Of her
faculties, mere intellectual culture
does not help in this, and, in fact, is
often hindranee rather than help.

From the Phfladelphia North american, November 2s
Suicide. of a Boy in Philadel-
Dhia.

In Second street, next door to South
Wark Hall, is a drug store. It's pro-
prietor had an employee, a lad twelve
years Of age, who washed bottles,
swept out the store and ran errands,
as occasion called for. He was
bright little fellow, who lived with
his mother in q line of buildings con-
tiguOus to the hall, known as Placid
place. The mother is a woman nam
ed Grossly. She seems to have visited
the boy with Oft-repeated and severe
hagellatiOns. On Tuesday night while
for moment he was alone in the
store, yet smarting from the lash, he
went to a shelf in the store upon
which was an array Of bottles, each
labeled poison, and bearing above this
Inscription skull and cross bones.
The child knew the emblems upon the
bottles indicated poison.
ThTusting into one Of them his
pOeket-knife he withdrew modicum
of white powder, wrapped it in paper,
aud took it with him to his home.
He ate his frugal supper and retired to
sleep. Yesterday morning he arose,
took his powder and swallowed it.
The result was almost immediate.
The mother, frightened almost to dis
traction, sent for DR.. Thomas s. Reed,
whose residence is nearly opposite to
the hall. He pronounced the child to
be poisoned, The little fellow retain
ed consciousness sufficiently long to
tell what he had done, and then died
All the indications show that the jar
or bottle from which the child took
the poison contained strychnia. He
had scarcely swallowed it before its
effects upon the circulation were made
manifest. DR.. Reed could administer
no antidote with any effect. Collapse
followed. Half an hour after the drug
was swallowed, the child was a corpse.

Measures of Peaee.

The New York Herald says editori-
ally:
"We learn from the best attainable
authority that General Grant is en-
pbatically in favor of so amending the
Constitution as to limit therein the
President to one term, and to make
universal suffrage, or suffrage to male
citizens, of all races and cQlors, above
the age Of twenty one years, the SUI
.preme law Of the land. With regard
to universal suffrage, we suspect the
Constitutional Amendment, article
IA, which provides that the several
States may regulate suffrage each for
itself, but in proportion as the suffrage
is restricted representation shall be
restricted, is not considered a settle
'ment' by General Grant, but rule
apt to result in endless troubles from
the conflicting plans likely to be
adopted among the States. Hence,
no doubt, General Grant has conclud-
ed that an amendment making uni
.versaI manhood suffrage the supreme
law ofthe land in all the States and
Territories, is the only decisive sOlu-
ton of this otherwise embarrassing
question"

FELLOW CIT1zENs:-The struggle
between Freedom and slavery is over.
Freedom has triumphed. Our rights
as men in this county have been vim
dieated. We are men, and a part Of

from Slavery, we owe our thanks to
the great party of progress and hu-

the question Gen. Grant carried our
standard, and it is to-day crowned
with glory, and he our President. On
the fourth day of March, 1863, he is
to read his inaugural in the city of
Washington. Will it not be a prop

party that gave them these blessings,
by having delegates from all parts Of
our country to assemble in convention
on the Sd of March, 1869? Those Of
our race who favor this proposition

Every one who reads the papers
must have noticed how many aged
men who "voted for Washington"
participated in the recent election. 1t
may be doubted whether the state
ment was true in more than one or
two instances. AS the first Presiden-
tiaI election took place in 1888, a per-
son to have voted that year must have
been born in or before 1867, and
would now be more thana hundred
years old. No one who is now less
than 81 years Of age could have voted
at the second election Of Washing
ton.
