1t is significant that during the
administration of the government
under radical auspices, the seed of
Imperialism has been sown in the
soil of republican America. 1t is
not less significant that the germ
of that seed, is now, under the
Presidency of Gen. Grant, putting
forth its shoots to the light in anot
( wholly uncongenial atmosphere
When the first anti-slavery Jour
nal made its appearance in the U,
nited States, it was received with
far greater aversion than that
which meets the first newspaper
organ of Imperialism. The anti
slayery'print was tolerated; the
Lmperidlist is supported and sought
after with avidity. In view of all
this, is it not high time that true
and sincereT republicans abandon
party whose rule produces such
effects 4?

Tstnpls Of the MtMses.
a SUMMER FRIEND.

MY early friend, now is it we'll
To smile when Fortune smiles,
And frown when Fortune sounds the kpe
Of all my bravest tolls ?
Come, is it well to clod thine eye,
And turn thy face from me,
And in cold silence pass me by,
When all the insects see ?
0 for the generous morns of youth,
When fortune was no bar,
When we two, like twin-souls of truth,
Flashed like single star
When each for each would rush to fight
Against the banded foe;
Content to know but one delight,
And own single woe.
But, early friend, my early friend,
Some sands are yet to run;
And no mans fortune hath an end
Until his life be done.
Why, fate itself may yet relent
At mercy's strong appeal;
Will, then, thy doubling heart repent
Thy GOODNESS uncongeal?
| care not for the common frown,
The common worlds neglect;
No lesser man can stare me down
With fortunes grand effect.
But thou, to join the baser rout,
Thine ancient friend to ban!
Great God, defend me from the doubt
That there is truth in man.

A Cure for Grecian Bend,

The Hamilton (Canada} Spectc
tor tells the following story, whicI
should be a warning to fair SNUG

ularly
The Grecian Bend was put +
a novel use on the Buffalo ant
Lake Huron Railway a few day
since. In one of the first class car
sat a handsome young lady
dressed in the height of fashion
who appeared to be suffering under
a rather painful attack of Greciar
bend. AS is usual on the trains

the aforesaid young lady. 'Noth.

ducing a small valise. The officer
examined and returned it, at the
same time scanning the person of
the young lady, in a manner that
almost amounted to rudeness.-
"Will you follow me to the custom

The corners of his mouth were al

to the searching-room Arrived
in the Office, the lady's face, which
had previously been of marble
whiteness, assumed a crimson hue.
"What is here, ma'am said the
officer, passing his hand over the
back of her dress. "That is my
Grecian bend," replied she, meek
ly casting down her eyes. II did
not know there was any duty to
pay on 1t; IT there is, tell me how
much, and l will pay it." "There
is no duty to pay on it; but we
must examine it" replied the OBJ
stinate officer. A female searcher
was procured, and, after strong
protests on the part of the lady,
the mystery of the "Grecian bend"
alias "the Montreal wriggle," was
unraveled, and found to contain
twelve yards of black silk velvet,
forty yards of rich lace, four white
ostrich feathers, six pairs of French
kid gloves, and a bottle of Gilbert's

A Woman Of Nerve.

There is a difference between a
woman Of nerve and a nervous
woman. A fine specimen of the
former is Madame Frere-Orbon,
wife of the Belgian ,diplomatist.
She won her husband by a noble
piece of strategy, which required
no little OF that quality usually
called nerve. The lady was
heiresS to the house of Orban,
in which there was unlimited mon
ey. Her father regarded Frere as
an adventurer, as, indeed, he had
at that time only just past his ex-
animation for the bar. The
young lady, if she had been of the
nervous sort, would of course have
let the paternal opposition dis.
solve her into an impalpable mist
of sighs and tears. Instead OF
that, however, she one evening
called her lover to the box at the
opera where she and her father
were together, and when he en-
tered she arose and kissed him, in
full view of the whole audience.
After that they never heard their
father make any more opposition
to their marriage, and he, taking
their family name, became Frere-
Orban.

A man died recently in New
Orleans, leaving one of the briefest
wills on record. It consisted of
five words-"Mrs. Roper is my
heiress"-with a codicil of four OF
five words more, to the effect that
the name of his heiress, properly
spelled, was Loper. He then fold
ed the sheet, stating in an endorse
ment that it was his will, to be
opened only in the case of his
death, and to be executed by a
certain named person, and that a
copy of it was in the hands of
his heiress. This was contested
in the courts, but its legality was
sustained.

Among the attendants at the
City Hotel, New Orleans, is q
most urbane and accomplished
waiter, whose private history is
unique. He is a royal prince, and
until lately was the ruler of one
of those principalities which, by
the decree of Prussia, was abol-
ished in Germany, and absorbed
in the empire. No place of pro-
tessorship or other intellectual en-
ployment was opened to his tai
ent. So he calmly accepted the
fate that came to him, and thus
it occurs that he is now a waiter
in the City Hotel.

An Arkansas Judge had his
law Office close to certain doctors
in fact they were separated on
Iy by a plank partitionwith door
in it. The Judge was at his table
busy with briefs and bills in chan
Gerry. The doctor was writing a
letter, and pausing for a moment,
called out, "Judge, isn't e-q-u-i,
the way to spell equinomical p
eyes, l think it is" said the Judge,
"but here's Webster's Dictionary
Il can soon tell you" He opens
the book and turns over the leaves,
repeating aloud, "e-quinomical-e-
quinomical." Finding the proper
place, he runs his eye and finger
up and down the column two or
three times, until he is thorough
ly satisfied that the word in ques-
ton was not there. Closing the
book with a slam, the judge lays
his specs on the table; and rising
slowly breaks forth "Well, sir,
I've always been a Daniel Web
ster man, and I've voted for him
for President, but any man that
viii write as big a dictionary as
this, and not put as common a
word as e-quinomical it, can'tget

A Big Silver.

The editor of the White Cloud
(Kansas) Chief thus expresses his
distrust of the numerous persons
who find themselves full of nee
dies and things which they swal-
lowed or otherwise absorbed in
their childhood:
GA man named Moses Kite,
living somewhere out on Terrapin
or Euchre Creek, had for a short
time past suffered with sore un-
der his arm, which he supposed to
be boil forming. Next Tuesday
will be three weeks, the sore opened
and feeling a hard substance pro-
truding he made an examination,
and drew forth an old-fashion
"clap-board" about two feet and a
half long, such as were formerly
used to cover cabins in the tim
bered region. He does not know
how it came there, but remem-
bers that when boy, he was one
day assisting his father to rive oak
clap-boards when he accidentally
ran a splinter into his thumb and
tried in vain to extract it. He
thinks the splinter must have re-
mained in all this time, and grown
into full-sized clap-board. Du-
ring all those years he suffered no
inconvenience, except that he was
sometimes troubled about his
JOard."
