Elitor Republican: Weather same, poll
tics nominal; business fat played out
mbrst d." Wives now and then cross-and
who blames them-but in the main, mighty
nice to have around, for what hand like
theirs to bring order out of chaos, smooth
the troubled brow of care, and aided by an
old shoe, teach rebellious youngsters the
whereabouts of stern reality, Babies are
lively as ever, and prove bouyant stock
in the market with but few holders who are
willing to dispose at present. rates. Amer
lean infants still command a premium,
owing to the falling off in receipts and con-
slant witt draw al from the business of Ia
tive talent, No dimi nuation in the foreign
supply, however.
Socially considered we remain about the
same. The revival still continues with
! marked success and undated interest. The
Rev Mr.. Sewen is just the man to conduct
an affair like this. He has good popular
talent and nervous way of tanning the
jackets of ns all, both saint and sinner, I'M
| ii! the man is fool who don't run or sur
| render. Some people seriously question
whether these revival efforts are not really
| productive of more mischief than benefit TO
the cause oftrue morality but so long as
| the legitimate fruits of such excitements
are seen in the moral reform of men who
| for life time have been the slaves of de-
! based appetite and passion every well-Wisher
! to his race cannot help saying good speed
| OF course some will act funny and some
| foolishly; some, fguratively speaking, will
| stand on their heads and reason with their
heels. But what of that? 1t is simply their
| equilibrium. They act about the same else
where, aud are always bottom side up
whenever an opportunity offers. There is
! one mistake into which both Professor and
non-Professor are apt to fall and that is in
| forgetting that human nature is in the
main alike, and SO doth battle away at each
other with the weapons of abuse and fanati-
cism.
The Methodists gave a donation party
for the benefit Of their Pastor, Rev h. Sew
ell, on Thursday night last. The attend
ance was large, and the receipts about $l30.
Every body seemed pleased and happy,
which was just as it should be. The friends
of the Rev. Mr. Caverno will be glad to
learn that his recent illness and worse re-
lapse has not resulted IS unfavorably as was
at one time greatly feared, but that he is
rapidly recovering his usual health and
spirits
