YO WNSHIP MEETINGS.

In this paper a series of Demo-
cratic Township meetings are an.
nounccd. Hon ARCH. MAYO, PoR-
TER DuHADwAY, Esq, and others,
and perhaps Col. J. l.. VANCE or
Hon. RALpH LEETE, our candidates
for the Senate may be present, will
address these meetings. Ample
time has been given-posters hav-
ing been printed and carefully dis
tributod-for making preparations
for rousing meetings and it is ex-
pectcd that they willbc. We would
remind the gentlemen composing
the Township Auxiliary Committee
that they stand in an important re-
lation to the party--that of town
ship organizers. We published the
names of the Committee in the
several townships few weeks ago
and we here give them again;
Fra. L. Hunter.
ichland-Dr. II. C. Moore.
WlkesVilIe-H. E. Soule.
IEarrison-S. G. Steinbrook.

Now, to elect our county ticket
this fall by a large majority, and
nssist in redeeming the State, it is
absolutely necessary that each
Township and School District be
thoroughly and complcly organized,
and every honorable and needful
work done to bring out every vote
for PENDLEToN and the whole Dem
ocratic ticket. 10 the Auxiliary
Committeeman of each township
properly attaches the sole RESPONSE
bility for the perfection in general
and in detail of such an organixa-
ton in his township as will insure
the polling Of every vote that can
be secured for tho white mans

ing immediate, energetic and un.
ccasing action sby the Committee,
men, and we hope that each one Of
them will fully arouse himself, and
Mt once, to the responsibility of his
trust and respond by doing his
w:.ole duty from now until the
election. The issues in this cam
paign are worthy Of the best exer-
tions of every Democrat and con-
servative in the State. The qucs-
tion Of Greenbacks for the bond
holders against the Radical robbery
of gold payment the question Of
State rights in the control of the
elective franchise, or the submis-
sion to Radical Congressional dicta-
tion In the ncgro-suffrago debase-
ment of the ballot, these and other
important questions are directly at
issue in this canvass. To work /!

now Democrats, until the work is
done on the 18th of October.

TEMpER-A person who has formed his
temper and dispositions Of mind after right
modcl--whois humble, meek, cheerful, and
contented-can commonly find a convenient
shelter when ovcrtaken by the storms OF life.
It should, therefore, be our early lesson to
subject the passions, appetltes. and desires to
the control and guidance of reason. The
first are the gales to impcl US on the voyage
of life but the last ought still to sit at the
helm and direct our course. The stream,
when itslowly descends with hoarse MUIR
muir from the mountain and ripples through
the PLAINS, adorns and cnriches the scene !;
but when it rushes down in roaring and
impetuous torrent, overfowing its banks, it
carries devastation and ruin along with it;
SO, when the passions, appetitcs, and desires
are kept under due restraint, they are a use
full aad felicitating part of our nature; but
when they are allowed to rage with unbrldled
fury, they commit fearful ravages on the char
acter which they were fitted to alorn and
exalt We must watch over the first move
ments of the heart and not indulge with Sc
crct complacency in imaginations which we
would be ashamed to avow. If we wish the
stream of life to be pure, it ought to be oul
aim to preserve the fountain unpoiuted =

RAPlDITY OF THOUGHT IN DREAMING
A very remarkable circumstance, and an i'm
portans point of analogy is, says Dr. Forbes
Winslow, to be found in the extreme rapid
ty with which the mental operations are per-
formed, or rather with which the material
changes on which the ideas depend are ex-
cited in the hemispherical ganglia. It would
appear as If whole series Of acts Chat would
really occupy long lapse of time pass ideal
ily through the mind in one instant. We
have in dreams no perception Of the lapse Of
time-a strange property of mind !! for if
such be also its property when entered into
the eternal disembodied state, time will ap-
pear to US eternity. The relations of space
as we'll as of time are also annihalated, so
that while almost an eternity is compressed
into moment, infinite space is travcrsed
more swiftly than by real thought. There
are numerous illustrations of this principle
on record. A gentleman dreamed that he
had enlisted as a soldier, joined his regiment.
deserted, was apprehcnded, carried back,

out for execution After the usual prepa-
rations, a gun was fired he awoke with the
report, and found that noise in an adjoin-
inp room had, al the same moment produced
the dream and awakened him. A friend Of
DR.. AbereromDie dreamed that he had cross
ed the Atlantic and fortnight in America.
In embarking. on his return, he fell into the
sea, and, awakening in his fright, found that
he had not been asleep ten minutes.

What Every Young Man Should Do.

4 If he is fortunate enough to have rich
and iudulgent father, he must do the best he
can under the circumstances, which will be to
conduct himself very much as though he
had not these obstacles to overcome
5. He should remember that young men,
if they live, grow old, and that the habits of
youth are oftener than otherwise perpetuated
in the mature man. Knowing this fact he
should govern himself accordingly"
6. He should never be discouraged by
small beginnings, but remember that nearly
all great results have been wrought out from
apparently slight causes.
Z. He should never, under any circumstan.
ces be idle. If he cannot find the employ
ment he prefers, let him come as near his de-

Cheap Things.

There are some people who always go for
cheap things. They buy cheap sugar, beef,
-four, and butter, and drink cheap whiskey
They wear cheap clothes, and sing out Of
cheap books. They use cheap medicines and
employ the cheapest doctor to be found in
town. The only times they have bought any
thing not cheap are those when they borrow
from neighbor, and expect to pay back in
cheap. Some folks are almost deep in good
things by this foul and fraudulent process
A cent in the yard Or pound makes great
difference with them They want something
cheap. In fact, they are cheap people,
They look, feel, talk and walk, and do every
thing in cheap way. They enjoy articles
Of good quality, and are very glad to get
them, if they can only get them cheap
"Cheapness' is their temple of devotion.
Articles of good quality always demand a
good price, Comparatively worthless things
are cheap. So in the professions. A good
lawyer demands pay-a good fee. His worth
secures it for him. A one-cent lawyer will
undertake any sort of a case for any sort of
fee, and sometimes for no fee at all, but
merely to help him get case that may pay.
A physician of culture and skill demands
compensation; buta mere quack will visit
by the day or any way. st4
Poor school teachings is always very cheap,
and cheap teaching is always very poor, both
in quality and quantity. Cheap thing are
always dear, and those who follow it up find
it so, to their cost. A good article is always
worth good price. .

A Genuine Love Story.

2 I was escorting home the lovely Charlotte
D., to whom [ was at the time quite de-
voted. Charlotte could scarcely find room to
spread her voluminous founces. I stood up
near her, there being no vacant seat. @
After few minutes, there came in poor
woman who deposited basket of clothes on
the first platform, and held in her hands a
small child, while little girl hung to her
dress. She looked tired and weary, but there
was no vacant seat !; to be sure, Charlotte
might have condensed her founces, but she
did not. Beside her, however, sat very
lovely and elegant young woman who tried
by moving down closer to others to make space
enough for the stranger between herself and
Miss D.. AT last she succeeded and
with the sweetest blush ever saw, she in
vited the poor woman to be seated. Char
lotte D. blushed too, but it was not a
pretty blush at all, and she looked annoyed
at the proximity of the new conner, who was,
however, clearly and decently though thin
ly clad.
The unknown lady drew the little girl
upon her lap, and wrapped her velvet mantle
around the half-clad form, and put her muff
over the half frozen little blue hands.
So great was the crowd that alone seem
ed to observe. The child shivered-the
keen wind blew on her unprotected neck
I saw the young lady quietly draw little
wooden shawl from under her cloak, which
she softly put on the shoulders of the little
one; the mother looked on in confused won
der. After short time she arose to leave
the car, and would have removed the shawl,
but the unknown gently whispered, "no
keep it for her." The woman did not an
swer, the conductor hurried her out but her
eyes swan with tears. I noticed her as she
descended to the basement, and hastily
marked the house. Soon after my unknown
rose also to depart. I was in despair. for !
wanted to follow and discover her residence
but could not leave Miss D..
How glad, then, was to see her bowling
as she passed mutual acquaintance, who
was standing in the doorway. From him
ere many minutes, I learned her name and
address. To shorten the story as much as
possible the lady is now my wife. In the
small incident which introduced her to me
she showed her true character. A few days
after our marriage, showed her the blessed
crimson shawl, which redeemed from the
owner aud kept as mementc. There arr
sometimes pleasant things to be found in I'm
expected places; certainly I may be said t.
have picked my wife in the cars.
