the bad temper of him who uses
them. They add fuel to the fire
and augment the heat.
Sour words dangerously tend to
make the hearor sour. They create
an atmosphere which he breathes,
and the virus is likely to penetrate
his soul and make him sour too.
Vinegar gives its own character to
every thing it can reach so it is
not the fault of the sour in heart

The issues involved in the political contest
just now going on in this State, are mainly in
reference to the interests and welfare of 1U-

at the election in November. Who is to be the
next President of the United States, is another
question. One united earnest, effort will now
secure in Virginia, the triumph Of sound prln-

POLITICAL MOVEMENTS IN ESGLAND.-It
cannot be denied that in all the great manu-
featuring towns and cities in England, Brad
laugh disciples are to be found These men,
large numbers of whom rent houses and have
the right to vote, are, like their leaders, inf
dels and open scoffers at religion. They pos

and ignoble thong h they are. The most OBJ
scene and disreputable newspaper in all Euro
pc, owned and edited by that filthy profigate,

English Radicals in London, and has a larger
circulation than any other paper of the weekly
press In ''workingmen's meetings. Radi-
cal clubs and other reform gatherings the
Queen and the royal family are violently de-
nounced, and it cannot be doubted that the

Respectable men, members Of Parliament, we're

branch of the Legislature is fast falling into
disrepute. The Radicals demand its instant
abolition, and many who are not Radicals think
that it needs to be liberalizcd

Because Pennsylvania and Ohio, have, for
the present, gone for the Radicals, it does not
follow. of course, that it will be impossible to
elect man of Conservative political principles
as next President of the U. S. or that those
holding and maintaining Conservative views,
may not select as their candidate one agreeing
with them, not on one subject alone, but on
many, who would be acceptable to a majority
of the people. On the subject Of Presiden-
tial candidate, however, there is full time yet,
to ''wait and see" We are not for acting pre-
maturely or hastily. 1t is perfectly evident
that Gen. Grant is to be the Radical candidate;
We do not yet know who it would be best to
unite upon as the anti-Radical candidate. But

choose between Radicals which we hope may
not come-let Judgment and discretion rule in
