At the meeting of the Woman's Suffrage
Association in Cleveland, on the Gath of
November, Mrs. Cutler is reported to have
read "a letter from an Old Democrat urging
"the National Convention to take broad and
y" high grounds" Our advice, which is well
intentioned though our fair friends may con-
slider it good for nothing, is that they should
be prudently cautious of undue exhilaration at
receiving complimentary letters from odd
Democrats" The lamentabe but late dis
covery made by Miss Susan that the great
George Francis is cbarlatan and a mOunte-
bank should inspire u wholesome distrust Of

THE EMPERORS SPEECH.

The French Legislature has opened, and the
imperial oracle has uttered words of cheer and
warning. Not easy is it to establish liberty,
remarks the hero of the coup d6tat, and the
ex-President of the Republic. Society, lately
threatened by its revolutionary ill-temper, has
condemned its exaggerated angry spassions.
All this has but operated to show the
soldty of what His Majesty is wont to call
the edfce established by suffrage. Neverthe-
less, it is imperaly imperative that the popular
will should be made known. "0rder,' says
the Emperor with dignity, 81 will answer for !;
"help me, Messieurs to secure liberty. Between
"thOse who would change all and those who
would grant nothing n glorious course may
abe pursued" Help him, Messieurs, by all
means, to secure liberty. Let us hope, too, that
his glorious conservatism will lean to that
virtues side of those who hope to change all,
rather than to those who would keep the en-
pire in condition of imposing ruin and sus-
pended failure.
What else the Emperor says is in compli-
ment to liberty, science, and progress. a man
of brains, though he wear crown, could not
fail to respect the formidable advance of hui
man affairs cOmprehended in the facts that
America has abolished Slavery, that Russia has
freed her serfs and that England, in her own
way and time, is rendering tardy though we

Chicago is moving in the matter of Corporal
Punishment in the Public Schools. meeting,
which, we are sorry to say, was small one,
was held in that city last week to consider the
subject. 1t listened to the recital of vau-
GUS instances of cruelty in the schools; and it
was asserted that a majority of the people of
Chicago were opposed to the use of the rod IN
education. We are sorry to notice that one
teacher attended the meeting, and attempted
to throw cold water upon the proceedings.
Teachers should understand, once for all, that
the schools belong to the people, and that
hogging must be given up whenever the people
demand its disuse. If children cannot be bet
ter governed by love than terror, all this dis
cussion about the Bible In schools seems utterly
gratuitOus, for in such case the Bible is stuffed
with ridiculous errors, and is good for nothing

Hartford. He saw the Oak. Like
wise heard it spoken of. He says

citizen whose ancestors came over
with the Pilgrims in the Quaker
City-in the Mayfower. should say
and he showed me all the historic
relics of Hartford. He showed me a
beautifully carved chair in the Sen
ate chamber, where the bewigged
and awfully homely oldtime Cover

from their canvass overhead, "made
from Charter Oak" he said L gazed
upon it with inexpressible solicitude
He showed me another carved chair
in the House. "Charter Oak" he
said. / gazed again with interest.
Then he looked at the rusty, stained,
and famous old charter, and l,rest mt
ly turned to move away, bat he
solemnly drew me back and pointed
to the frame Charter Oak" he
sad. l worshipped.
We went down to Wadsworth's
Atheu8m, and 1 wanted to look
at the pictures; but he conveyed me
silently toa corner, and pointed to a
log rudely shaped somewhat like a
chair, and whispered, "CharterOak."

"Well," said, "now let us go
and see some Charter Oak for a
change"

was he to know that, being a stran-
ger? He took me around and showed

it, but / began to get little weary

Now onward we DASH Der the icy track flying,
And Danish forever our sorrow and pain.

A Singular Adventure.

Once upon a time "a traveller step
ped into a stage coach He was /;
young man starting in life. Af
found six passengers about him. al,
greyheaded and extremely aged men
The youngest appeared to have seerr
eighty winters. Our young traveller.
struck with a singularly mild and
happy aspect which distinguished ali
his fellow passengers, determined to
ascertain the secret of a long life and
the art of making old age comfort
able
lie addressed the one apparently
the oldest, who told him he had al
ways led regular aud abstemious
llfe, eating vegetables and drinking
water. The young man was rather
daunted at this, inasmnch as he liked
the good things Of this life. He ad-
dressed the second, who astenished
him by saying he had always eaten
roast beef and gone to bed regularly
fuddled for the last seventy years,
adding, all depended on regularity.
The third had prolonged his days by
never seeking or accepting office /;
the fourth by resolutely abstainine
from all political and religious con
troversies; and the fifth by going to
bed at sunset and rising at dawn.
The sixth was apparently much
younger than the other five-his hair
was less gray and there was more of
it-a placid smile, denoting per
fectly easy conscience, mantled his
face, and his voice was jocund and
strong
They were all surprised to learn
that he was by ten years I'll oldest
man in the coach.
How is 1t that you have preserv-
ed the freshness of life =! exclaimed
our young traveller.
The old gentleman immediately
answered the young traveller by say
ing
Il have drunk water and wine-I
have eaten meat and vegetables-I
have dabbled in politics and written
religious pamphlets-l have some
times gone to bed at midnight; and
got ~ at sunrise and at noon - he
then, fixing his eyes intensely OH the
young man, concluded with this re-
mark, "but | always pay promptly
for my newspapers p
Then the other old men also chin
ed in with" OF course, we always
pay promptly, and in advance, for no
man deserves long life who does not
do this.
Then the young man resolved ne
also would render himself deserv ing
i-of long life-and immediately sub
scribed for fivs Il -f23eeTxspaners, | aging
for them all in advance. He is,!iv.

RISK OF GREAT EATERS Halls
Journal of Health contains the fol-
lowing information
Great eaters never live long. A
voi acious appetite, so far from being
Il sign of good health. is a certain in
dIcation of disease. Some dispeptics
are always hungry, and feel best
when eating; but as soon as they have
finished eating they endure torments
so distressing in their nature AZ to
make the unhappy victim for death.
The appetite of health is that which
is inclined moderately to eat when
eating time comes, and which, when
satisfied, leave no unpleasant remind
ers. Multitudes measure their health
by the quantity they eat, and out of
ten persons nine are gratitied with
an increase of weight, when in reali-
ty an increase of disease; showing
that the absorbents of the system
are too weak to discharge their duty,
and the tendency to fatness, obescity
increases until existence becomes a
burden, and sudden death closes
the painful history,
