4 CHoosIHo FOR LlFs.-There is general
Impression that the only end ofan occupa.
tion - to make living, and that the boy
or young man who selects that employment
BY which he can make the most money with
the greatest rapidity makes the best choice.
This is a deplorable error, whsrever il ex-
ists. To provide an honorable and comfor.
able support for himself and family must
ever ss main object Of every mans busi-
ness, and yet II is an unworthy thing
70 toll year after year uncsasingly with no
other aim in life than to make money. The
conviction should be present with every
young person. in selscting his occupation.
mat all his time, powers and circumstances
should be so engaged as TO produce the
greatest possible amount Of good 10 the
community around him. as we'll az to him
self. Some may esteem this visionary and
impossible, but 10 reality it is the founda.
ton OF success. No one Who gives to So
eisty. with wisdom and judgnent, the ben
eht et portion Of his labor will fail to reap
. richer rswsrd than mere personal ambi-
ton or love Of money can secure.
The choice OF an occupation should be
considered with oil the care and thought
que to matter thar is due TO what may be
q choice Tor life. Il includes q thousand
other choices, and if at frs, wisely made,
ho;hlng will be wasted. nothing lost, and
life will he q continued progress. Bene-
dict Arnold had ability and courage, but in
his supreme s.lhshness and love ot display
sad Of gold. he sold his honor, and would
have sold the lives OF his soldiers and the
liberties Of his cosntry for q paitry brbe.
Every man who lives merely for self and
~ gratify ambition. isa traitor to his own
welfare, his country aud hIs race. In the
character Of Washington il is not chiefly
ais abilities that have won for him the ad.
miration Of the world, but the fact thai d.
ty was supreme. and that although he long
ed for ease and the qniet Of home, he sacrl-
feed il all at the call Of his couatry, and
put his life aud fortune at stake spon Pc
rIlOus issue. Unsel6shness makes men
really greater than ambition.
A choice 81 occupation made on ihsss
principles will probably lead TO the greatest
success Of which the nature Of him who pur.
sues il is capable. As the efficiency oil a
watch depends upon the various parts be-
ing 90 adjusted as to bear that relation 10
e,ch other that was intendedby the maker, SO
the complicated mechanism ef man can on
ly obtain real power and ultimate success
in life by the proper adjustment with his
various powers. Pail Ledger.

count OF the recent corner in the corn mar

"A little party Of men visited Chicago
month Or two ago. with perhaps about 4

gan privately buying up oil the corn in the
market. contracting for its delivery in thir-
ty days. The contractors, not thinking tina,

corn with which to fill their contract, until
the month was nearly ended, and then, 90
their surprise, found an alarming scarcity
in the market. The price began to rise as
the time OF delivery appro,ehed, and III.
contractors grew more alarmed at their
prospects, and bid still higher for the quau.
tity needed. Before the hour of filing the
contracts arrived, corn was held at 81 Is.
and many prominent dealers were ruined.
When the hsur struck :hs price dropped 10
9la cents, and the "eorner" was ended.

sold at various saloons in that city a.
" Bourbon whiskey," and the result IS pub
lished tor the benefit of those whom il may
concern. Out OF thirty-eight specimens
subjected to test, only two we're found pure.
The ingredients Of which most Of this " 6n.
old whi,key" is composed are as follows /:
fuaIl OIL. rancid lamp oil. green tea, prus-
sic acid. wintergreen, and strychnine. The
commoditissssold as brandy and gin were
fosnd to be made up of compounds equally
vile. Some Of the newspapers have been
making these exposures OF late, but as these
were set down as sensational. they did mt
attract much attention. But The exposures
OF the board of excise are Official and will
probably open the eyes Of The public to the
po'sOns that are pawned Of on them.

FYJ1n the NJ Y. World.
1t is tribute to magnanimity that certain
Texas ladies should have called at the War
Department on the afternoon of the Sth inst.
and there left beautiful bouquet of flowers
and evergreens to be placed on the coffin of
the dead Secretary. 1t is stated by the tele-
graph that the party, consisting of three
ladies' under escort of a gentleman, was
unlznown that it simply called to proffer it's

star and bore attached to it card with these
words:-
"On this altar of the greatest sacrifice for our
countTys good the Lone Star State offers her em-
blem as incense to renewed fraterna love. A way
ward sister, she Is still a sister"
Now, remembering that General Rawlns
won his prominence in war waged to over
whelm the effort of Texas, in conjunction
with her Southern sisters, to establish a sep
arate government from that of the United
States, and that by this war, to which the
dead Secretary virtually gave his life, many
| thousands of Texans fell in battle or now lin
ger out crippled lives, it is easy to see that
! it was not to the Federal soldier that there
came this floral tribute from the daughters of
the Lone Star State. But when the war was
over, this John A. Rawlins who had so stead
fastly upheld the Union arms, felt it was no
longer time for hostile endeayors against a
conquered enemy, but rather for such offices

THE WISCONSIN DEMOCRACY-A STEP
FORWARD.
From the N. Y. Herald.

from LHe ". 4 HeFuL,
The Wisconsin Democracy in their State
Convention the other day resolved, among
other things, that "the Democratic party of
Wisconsin rejoice in the extinction of slavery
and in the prompt and general acquiescence
of the Southern people in the results of the
war; that they rejoice, too, sin every we'll
directed effort for the enlightenment and ele-
vation of oppressed humanity at home and
abroad, and in every measure compatible with
good government and public order to
broaden the basis of suffrage and extend the
blessings of free institutions to all classes of
the people"
broaden the basis of suffrage" They
have the suffrage now in Wisconsin to all free
white males over the age of twenty -one-this
broadening, therefore, applies to 1.-THE al
mighty niger" The Wisconsin Democracy,
taking the broad hint from their Southern
brethren, simply give up the fight on negro
suffrage, for they have had enough of it.
The Democrats of Ohio, in their emphatic
resolutions against the niger and against
the fifteenth amendment, have made
an issue upon which, with the national
administration emphatcally against them,
they will have uphill work to upset
General Grants majority of last year. In
New York, from the general tone of the De-
mocratic journals, the party fight this fall as
in Ohio, will be against negro suffrage, and
particularly against the fifteenth amendment.
In the approaching Democratic State Con-
vention, however, this old party hostility to
the negro may be somewhat softened down.
The question is, that as the Southern Demo-
cracy have taken a new departure, shall the
Northern Democracy join them or stand
alone? The Wisconsin Democracy, with their
faces South, have answered by step forward
because they have found out that it is useless
to keep fighting on the back track.

as we're at once the dictates of sound
head and kind heart Accordingly it is that,
when, in the day of his DEATH analyses
of the character of the Secretary were
made, men spoke of him as a tried and
trusted counsellor who constantly advised his
chief against the malevolences of ill advisers
as a broad-souled man who revolted at and
always opposed, in the conduct of the South
ern question, the legislation of the Rump
Parliament and the test-oaths and dispensing
power of the second James. Further than
this, there is some statement that, when
almost in the death-throe, he had word for
his family and for his beloved but absent
leader and for harassed Cuba he had also a
word in sympathy for the Southern country
and rebuke of that detestable course pursued
towards it. These things going abroad, no
doubt came to Southern ears in Washington,
and, forgetting all but that voice that had
been constantly heard in defense of the van
quished was now stilled, the hands of Texas
ladies wrought the Lone Star in flowers and
placed it, in the name of their countrymen of
the Alamo, upon the dead mans bier.

candidate. There is not, in short, single
proposition in the resolutions of the conven-
ton that nominated Mr.. Dent which is not
an echo of propositions already affirmed by
the Republican organization proper, whose
nominations the Dent movement is designed
TO defeat. The keenest eye will fail to de
tect any matter of principle which affords
descent pretense for Republican division.
Nor do ordinary personal considerations
furnish an explanation of the Democratic
preference for Dent over Alcorn. With all
due respect to Judge Dent it must be said
that he has neither residence nor interest in
Mississippi. MIR. Alcorn, on the contrary, is
one of the largest planters in the State, and
one of its most enterprising citizens. He is
identified with the Republican party, and has
been leader in times when leadership implied
courage, principle, and capacity.
The simple truth is, that the Democrats de-
sire to get possession of the pen that is to
write the new Constitution-also of the Legis-
lature and State government generally. This
they can only hope to accomplish, if at all, by
indirection. They know that they must fight
such battles in Mississippi under false colors
and the term National Republican has been
appropriated for the purpose.
