THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON GRANT
AND SERMoUR.-Hon. A. T. Alderman
the new Attorney General, made speech
in Atlanta, Ga, August 1868, In which
the drew this fine parallel:
My theme is the Presidential election
In this two candidates are before US, and
to these our choice is restricted. Gen.
Grant, presented by the republican party,
MIR. Seymour, presented by the demo
cratic party. Both, as far as [ know OF
believe, are men of good private charac-
ter. Both are gentlemanly in culture,
habits, and education. Moreover, justice
to both requires me to say that they are
both great men, Mr. Seymour is great
in words; Gen. Grant is great in deeds.
Mr.. Seymour has shown himself capable
of SURPRISING all men on this continent in
speech that sounds well and means little.
Gen. Grant has shown himself carahle
OF surprising all men on the continen- in
those deeds which history glories to re-
cord. Mr. Seymour has shown himself
skilfcl in finding fault with an admins
tration that was taxed to the utmost en-
durance in an effort to maintain it's
charge at critical hour. Gen. Grant
was able to record these efforts with an
energy that crowned them With success.
In concluding he said: Choose ye
Grant is the representative of reason,
Seymour is the representative of pas
| sion.

a GENTLE HINT.-Not many miles
from Salem, company Of a few friends
might have been seen one evening in the
porlor of an old couple, spending a few
hours in social chat. Time flew rapidly
to all save the head of the housa" who
about nine clock, got very sleepy. He
never staid out of bed later than that
hour, if he could helpit: The company
however, talked, and talked, to the lady,
who enjoyed the conversation much,
whilst her bigger half dosed and nod
ded and occasionally snored just little.
Finally getting his eyes fully opened, and
seeing the clock mark half past nine, he
turned yawningly toward the partner of
all his joys and sorrows, and said: "Wlle
hadn't we better 60 to bed? These folks
want to 60 home"

The same literal turn Of mind which

used Intentionally and perhaps little
maliciously, and then becomes the prop

hear of a very polite and impressive

street:

Certainly, SIR, replied the boy very
respectfully.

THE DEPARTED SoUL-Heavcns
what momen! must be that when the
last futter expires on our lips! What a
change! Tell me, We who are deepest
read in nature and in God, to what new
world are we torno? Whittier has that
spark-that unseen, incomprehensible
Intelligence, fed /? Look upon that cold,
livid, CHASTITY corpse that lies before you.
What SHE'LL gross, earthly covering,
which held that immortal essence which
has now left; left to range, perhaps,
through illimitable space to receive new
capacities to delight, new powers Of con-
ceptlon, new glories of beatitude.
Ten thousand fancies rush upon the
mind as it contemplates the awful mo-
ment between life and death 1t is a
moment big with Imagination hopes and
fears; 1t is the consummation that clears
up all mystery-solves ali doubts-which
removes all contradictions. and destroys
error. Great God What a food of
rapture may at once burst upon the de-
parted soul The unclouded brightness
of the celestial region-the solemn Sc
crets of nature may be divulged, the
immediate unity of the past, forms of an
imperishable beauty may then suddenly
disclose themselves, bursting upon the
delighted sens, and bathing them in i'm
measurable bliss. -Sporgeon.

She put her two little boys in car, and

Meanwhile the train started. The sta

M. Sedilot, one Of the most distin-
guished surgeons of Paris, has found a
nearly infallihle means of preventing the
pain and suffering occasioned by Surgical
operations. By means of electrical an-
paratus he raises the temperature of his
instruments to white heat. and then per-
forms the operation, which is scarcely
felt by the patient, as burns at that in
tense heat cause little or no pain.
