A Medical Miser.

An anecdote is told Of Velpeau,
the eminent French surgeon, who
was a miserly. disagreeable man,
and died few years ago. He
had successfully performed, on q
little child five years old, a most
perilous operation. The mother
came to him and said:
Monsieur, my son is saved, and
I really know not how 10 express
my gratitude. Allow me, however,
to present you with this pocket
book, embroidered by my own
hands -
oh, Madame replied Velpeau,
sharply, 'my art is not merely a
question Of feeling. My life has
its requirements, like yours. Dress
even, which is luxury for you, is
necessary for me. Allow me,
therefore, to refuse your charming
little present, in exchange for q
more substantial remuneration
But, Monsieur, what remunera-
ton do you desire2 Fix the fee
yourself
Five thousand francs Madame
The lady very quietly opened
the pocket book, which contained
ten thousand francs in notes, count
ed cut five, and, after politely
handing them over to Velpeau, re-
tired. Imagine his feelings!

How Not to be Beautiful.

A vacant mind takes all the
meaning out Of the fairest face. A
sensual disposition dctorms the
handsomest features. A cold, sell
fish heart shrivels and distorts the
looks.
A mean groveling spirit takes
all the dignity out Of the figure and
all the character out Of the coun-
tenance. A cherished hatred trans
forms the most beautiful linea
ments into an image of ugliness.
1t is as impossible to preserve
good looks with brood of bad pas
sions feeding on the blood, a set
of low loves tramping through
the heart, and a selfish disdainful
spirit enthroned in the will, as to
preserve the beauty of an elegant
mansion with litter of swine i'll
the basement, q tribe Of gypsies
in the parlor, and owls and vul-
lures in the upper part.
Badness and beauty will no more
keep company great while than
poison will consort with health, or
an elegant carving survive the fur
mace fire. The experiment of put
ting them together has been tried
for thousands of years, but with
one unvarying result.
Stand on one Of the crowded
streets and note the passer-by. and
any one can see how a vacant mind
has made a vacant eye, how
| thoughtless, aimless mind has rob-
bed the features of expression; how
vanity has made everything about
its victim petty, how frivolity has
faded the lustre of the countenance;
how baby thoughts have made ba-
by faces; how pride has cut disdain
in.o the features and made the face
a chronic sneer; how selfishness
has shriveled, and wrinkled, and
withered up the personality; how
hatred has defor,ned and demoniz-
ed those who yielded to its power;
how every bad passion has turned
tell tale and published its disgrace
full story in the lines of the face
and tie look Of the eye; how the
old ian who has given himselfup
to every sort of wickedness is bran
ded all over with deformity and
responsiveness and he will get new
idea of what retribution is. This
may not be all, but it is terrible
this transforming of a face once
full of hope and loveliness into de-
formity and responsiveness; then the
rose blusl.ing on its stalk, now ash
es and a brand Annual of Phre-
nology and Physiognomy.

What is the Issue!

The Democracy cannot strike
out the Southern Democracy as an
integer Of their party In 1865
that Southern wing dictated the
platform, In '72 they will have
more to say about it than t ey had
then. That wing will control the
entire party. II it should carry
the election, the South will dictate
the policy Of the administration.
No intelligent man can think diff
fercntly.
The Southern Democracy make
the issue in the next Presidential
election and the entire party is
bound to accept it. And here are
indications of the Southern atti-
tude.
The Louisville Ledger says:
"The only true Union men are
those who are in favor Of the old
Union of the States And we have
assurance that the Democratic par.
ty in the Northern States will f..
stol such q Union if it regains
power. Surely we want no better
allies
The Augusta Ga Constitution
alist, says:
cit may as we'll he understood
first as last that the Democrats in
the State tyranized over by the car
pet t-baggers rule do not intend to
surrender the right of discussion
and redress Of their grievances to
the decision Of Democrats in other
States who have never felt these
wrongs"
The Alabama Advertiser de
clares:
"This evil work must be undone;
the United States Government
must he deprived of the powers it
has obtained by statutory usurpa
tions and coerced amendments, in
perversion not only of the Consti-
tuition. but OF the inherent rights
OF the people e""
