Tell us not in idle jingle ssmar-
riage is an empty dream;" for the
girl is dead that's single, and things
are not what they seem. Life is
real, life is. earnest, single-blessed-
ness fb; "Man thou art, to man
returneth,'' has been spoken of the
rib. Not enjoyment and not sor-
row is our destined end OF way, but
to act that each tomorrow finds us
nearer marriage-day. Life is long
and youth is fleeing, and our hearts,
though light and gay, still like
pleasant drums are beating we'd
ding marches all the day. In the
worlds broad field of battle, in the
bivouac Of life, be not like dumb
driven cattle-be a heroine-a wife
Trust no future, hover pleasant !;
let the dead past bury its dead !;
act-act in the living present, hop
ing for the spouse ahead. Lives of
married folks remind us we can live
our lives as well, and, departing
leave behind us, such examples as
will "tell"-such examples that
another, wasting time in idle sport,
forlorn, unmarried brother, seeing,
shall take part and court. Let us,
then, be up and doing, with heart
on triumph set; still contriving,
and pursuing, and each one a hus-
band get.

Democratic Opposition to srover.

In it's last issue the Jacksonville
Times, an independent, outspoken
Democratic sheet, "goes foro Gov
crnor Grover in the old style, speak
ing very contemptuously of his
s.claims," and calling him ellis I'M
becility." Here are the several
reasons given for its opposition to
Growers pretentions, which should
be received as very fair, coming as
they do from such good Democratic
authority:
1st. it would elevate to the office
of Secretary Of State a young man
wholly inexperienced to fill so ar
duous and responsible position,
but who is all we'll enough where
he is: ID, the Governor was elected
tor term of four years, and an
election is civil contract, between
the people on one side and the
candidate on the other: SO whenev-
er Governor Growers term is ended,
it will be time enough to consider
his Senatorial pretentions; 3d, be-
cause the Governor has, ever since
his Inauguration, increasingly used
the Gubernatoral patronage as a
stepping stone to the Senatorship,
and all appointments coming from
the Department OF state have been
made with that view. We are
opposed to corruption of this char
acter, for it is nothing less. :" "
We are for any man outside of the
Governor; let him serve out his
term, and then it will be time
enough to talk about the great nom
committalist to Washington.
