Men ili Love.

There Is something very cruel in
the contempt with which woman, as
rule, look upon q man who is In
love. One might have thought that
com mpassion (which Is nearly akin to
ple) would have been a more appro-
pirate feeling; but it cannot be denied
man is never less hero with the
women Ofhis acquaintance than when
he is desperately In love with some
particular woman. lift be his good
fortune to have inspired similar at
tachment i'm the bosom of the young
person who has upset his reason, she
out of all her sex, may be inclin-
ed to see something fine and noble In
his devotion; but your ordinary wo-
man-and, above all, your extra Or
binary woman, who has some power
Of satire, and loves to avenge the
weakness of her sex by laughing at
Ours-cannOt help re .artling lover
as rather a silly person who has
caught fever, which is about as rid
iculous as measles to grow upon man.
In novels the case is quiet other
wise, and nothing in fiction attracts
the sympathy of women so much as a
pefect adornment to a wild and i'm
petuous affection, with the spectacle
of rhetoric-loving young man con-
quering every difficulty and overcom-
ing all manner of obstacles for the
sake of his sweetheart. But I'm actu-
al life, man finds himself compelled
to keep q strict watch over any exhi-
bitiOns of affectation he may feel In
clined to indulge in; and II he does
not, the women of his acquaintance
look on him as "softy", and shrug
their shoulders in highly humorous
way over his folly. AS for the mod
ern young lady, she conceals her az
fection so throughly that you would
almost imagine she had none.

A KnOtty QuestiOn.

Some one tells this anecdpte of the
late George ID. Prentice, which we
do not recOllect to have seen in print.
1t was in the days when Prentice's
health was failing, and he did little
work, though he visited the Office as
usual. One day he entered and called
upon his amanuensis, u gentleman
named Breeding, to put his thoughts
into manuscript. Seating himself
and rubbing his hand over his fore
head, Prentice said:
"Are you ready, Breeding?"
ayes, SIR" was the reply.
"Well," said Prentice, "Grant
thinks. Got that down, BreedingT'
eyes, SIR" A pause.
Again the veteran journalist ejacu-
lated:
"Grant thinks. Got that down
Breeding ?"
"Yes, SIR"
"Well, then, I wish you would tell
me what in the hi Grant does think,
for Pm sure / don't know"
And that was the extent of the
labor Prentice required of his aman-
uensis on that day.

Under the above caption an ex-
change gives long obituary notice OF
a deceased brother editor. The fol-
lowing is the closing paragraph:
"Should we not rejoice that our late
friend of the scissors and quill is in
heaven? In that paradise the cry OF
more copy, will never again fall upon
his distracted ears. There his enjoy
ments will no more be Interrupted by
the growls of the unreasonable sub
scriber, or the duns ofthe paper maker.
There he will enjoy entire freedom
from the detractions and misrepresen-
tations ofpolitical opponents, and the
caresses of ambitious political aspir-
ants. In the blest abode he Is no
more to be troubled with illegible
manuscript or abominable poetry
No rival editors will there steal his
thunder, or his items, and typographi
cal errors will know him no more for
ever.

helps them, let us have the truth.
The misfortune Is, that we have'much
more In the highly colored narratives
that are promulgated and commented
on by the mischief makers. Thus,
criminal incidents which are passed
unnoticed at the North, are invested
with political Significance when
they occur at the South. We have
plenty Of lawlessness in New York,
but who among US proposes to hold
the entire community responsible for
1t? Who proposes to make 1t an ex-
cuse for Federal interference, or to use
1t for campaign purposes in Ohio or
Mississippi? Yet the whole South is
arraigned at the bar of Northern
opinion because murders are commit
ted In Tennessee or North Carolina.
The whole Southern people are made
the text for solemn exhortat:ons and
loyal threats and warnings because
some drunken rebel in Memphis
shoots an industrious negro, or be-
cause gang of ruffians In Georgia
insult and injure some worthy Nor
therner who has gone there to earn
an honest living. These occurrences
are bad, whether reported from Kan
sas or the South. But we act un-
wisely and unjustly when we apply
the generalizing process to one case
and omit IL in the other. OF this in
Justice the South may reasonably
complain.
AS whole, the South is as free
from lawlessness as any other part Of
the country. There are bad localities
In the reconstructed States, hut SO
there are In this city and in this
State. The general condition of
things, Is, however, one that the
Southern people have no reason to
be ashamed Of Virginia, South Car
Olina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas
and Mississippi may safely challenge
comparison with States similarly sit
uated i'm ordinary respects, at the
South and West. There has been a
fair average of progress everywhere.
The main body of the population
have applied themselves to industrial
pursuits, with steady determination
which has already borne good fruit.
They are rebuilding villages and cit
les, cultivating farms and familiariz-
ing themselves with enterprises
which will yield more than the old
prosperity. Let us concede both the
extent and significance of these indi-
cations ungrudgingly. They are
among the best evidences of the sue
cess of the Republican policy, and
among the most solid guarantees of
peace and profit. If we would win
the respect of the South, we must not
magnify its faults or close our eyes
to its merits. We do both when we
make exceptional crimes a pretext
for exciting against 1t the distrust and
ill-will of other sections.

The M0onbenun and the Fairy.

Twas on one eve, when twilights rosy hue
Shed Its soft rays DER the drooping fiow.
ers;
That moonbeam came and glittered in
the dew,
| That softly fell upon fairy's bowers;
Quoth the fairy to the beam: "why Is II
youfiy
From the star-gem'd throne, your home in
the sky;
And light in the tear night sheds for the
sun,
Which soon will leave thee when day Is
begun2"
"Ahi love the green earth." quoth the
beam to the fairy;
81 love the bright spots where I've of
seen thee roam:
IT'S there 1 would fly on wings light and
airy,
To greet thee with love in thy beautiful
homer
" Then welcome to thee; thrice welcome
forever;
For naught in the night is as bright as
thy gleam"
Quoth the fairy-and sighed, to think that
it never
Could mingle Its love with the charms OF
the beam.
"Ill linger with thee and the tear" quoth
the beam,
Till the morning light comes in the rosy
stream
Which flows from the east when the sour
tain's away"
,,I t,r,,, eon,h~o ,~tc,.s &-s~

"Then tell me. oh tell me, oh! where wilt
thou fiy?"
Quoth the fairy, "when day Is dawning
DER the main9"
" To the queen of the night-to the queen
of the sky;
And rest In silence till meet thee again. !"
The fairy now couched by the side of the
beam,
And gazed with delight at the sparkling
array
or diamonds and emeralds of light In the
gleam,
Far more brilliant than those of the day:
Then touched by the passion which beauty
inspires:
Touched by the feelings love only desires:
She raised the bright gems from the dewy
bower,
And pressed to her lips the tear on the
flower
The beam now blighted in the drop on the
rose,
Soon waited its flight to Its queen on
high;
Leaving the fairy to mourn the sad close
or love that yet fingered, but fingered
to die.
MORAL.
Thus II is with man, ere grasping at beau
ty;
Fer changing and fieeting rs the clouds
In the sky;
Forgetting that Heaven requires duty
or him to perform, which he ne'er can
deny:
The duty Is that we owe to the being
Who gave us our life. our joys below;
To look up to Him, the Great and All-see-
ing;
For Pleasures that earth can never be
stow.

WE clip the following from Che
proceedings Of the Dental Conven.
tion, at Nashville, and ask for the
careful consideration of all interested
In the subject Of which It treats:
Poisonous Rubber Plates.
DIR. Cutler being entitled to the
floor, concluded his remarks upon the
subject Of Pathology.
DR.. Walker, OF New York, discuss.
ed the evils which resulted from the
use of rubber In tho mouth. He said
that wherever rubber had been used,
1t had invariably produced a pernic-
ious disease of the mouth. The mu-
Gus membrane was covered with spots
and granules, which looked like spoil
ed beef cut across the grain. He de-
sired to hear the opinions of Others
upon the mouth.
DIR. John Allen, of New York, in.
stanced the case OF a lady, possessing
the highest degree lost not only her
usefulness, but had lost her powe,
of speech through the use of rubber
In her mouth which had kept up a
continuous salvation, though she felt
no special pain at first.
DIR. Morgan said that anything ar.
tificial would more or less disease the
mouth for the reason that 1t was un-
natural, and was never intended that
the roof of the mouth should be GOV.
cred.
DR.. Culp, of Iowa, said that out oi
100 cases examined, 500 of which he
had himself examined, in the Iowa
State Association, the disease had be-
come apparent In three-fOurths Of the
continual use of plates In the mouth,
without cleaning was another cause
OF disease.
Drs. Jones, Allen, Grouse, Moffit,
Forbes and PEBBLES, gave instances ol
the terrible ravages which the rubber
plates had produced and seemed to
agree that their use ought at once tc
be abandoned by all dentists, num-
herring In the United States $4,000.
DIR. Judd said that plates would
naturally produce q mechanical irri-
tatiOn In the mouth, and IL was not
very credi.able to the profession thai
it didn't recognize that there were va
riOus diseases Of the mouth. The
rubber plates used contained thirty
six per cent. of mercury, twenty foul
per cent. of sulphur and forty pei
cent. only of rubber. The dental pro
fession would and ought to be held
responsible for its use. Its properties
were enough to ruin any ones mouth

and requested that a letter be written
to his wife, telling her Of his condi-

soldier, that I am too sick to write
myself, and haye got you to do 1t for
me. Tell her that / should die to-
day, I'm sure but for the desire have
to wait and see her once more before

The Congressional Republican Commit

paign documents to different parts of the
country where political contests are be-
ing waged. Advices received by this
committee daily are of the most encour-

the Union party are confident of carrying

votes being greater than in many other
States, it is confidently expected by the
State Committee to carry every
