ENROLL, ENRoLL.-To-day, and Monday
and Tuoeday the election boards hold their
final sessions, aud every man whose name is
not on the list should see that his name is
there, if he is a voter. Those not on the
local poll list, if they have reasonable ex-
cuse can make affidavit of the fact, and be
placed there. Every vote counts in this
election, and no Democrat should fail to
make any reasonable sacrifice to secure his
vote.

THE men comprising the Democratic ticket
in this county are as good men and compe-
tent for the positions for which they are
named as ever were presented for the suffrage
ofany people. They are all business men
aud men of talent, honesty and principle, and
viii each do honor to himself and TO the
county if elected 1t is more the duty of tax
payers to enquire what the qualifications Of
candidates are than to what party they be
long. Let the county once more be ably
and honestly represented in the Legislature
and the laws will lie so changed as to save
half the present expense of the county gov
ernment, and let faithful, honest and com
petent board of supervisors and county
officials be elected, and the taxes for county
purposes ought to be reduced one-half
such men are those to be found on the
Democratic ticket We have done four
years hard service for the people Of this
county, we have exposed vill'nny, corrup-
ton ond petty pferings without regard to

Sir Walter scott,s Last Years.

Even now, when he has been so long at
rest, and new generation has arisen, and
new flames fill the world, it is impossible
to think of the tragedy of SCOTS last years
without poignant and personal sorrow,
as over the fate of dear friend. Suddenly
the misfortune came-the enormous losses
and debts-and he put the great heart and
the great shoulders to the tremendous
struggle. The benificent genius that had
so long gayly played only to delight the
fascinated world was in a moment despe-
rately wrestling with death for honor and
existence. He owed nearly six hundred
thousand dollars and of this vast sum- by
strenuous and relentless toll, breaking his
heart and consuming his brain, he paid
within four years considerably more than
half. Alas! he paid with his life and
with his mind. The cloud fell thick
er and more heavily. His wife died
everything failed but his own her0ism, and
the love and pity of mankind. There are
glimpses in the memoirs of that time
glimpses inexpressibly sad-of the dying
man in Italy, at Naples, upon the Cam
pagna. It is only the shadow of the stall
wart Scott. He sits for hours gazing upon
the sea he moves restlessly about; he re-
peats in tone SO mournful that the heart
breaks to hear, snatches of the old, old bal
lads that his youth loved, and which are
dear to all men who speak his language
because he loved them. Then he comes
home to die. Gentle as child, he has
been unspoiled by the fiattery of world;
Through the mists of the fast-fading mind
looks out that true and tender manhood
which is forever memorable. I" Be good
man, my DEAR" he whispers to his son-in-
law, Lockhart, and on a soft September
afternoon, just thirty-nine years ago, with
all the windows wide open, and the gentle
ripple of the Tweed murmuring upon the
air, while his children knelt around the
bed, Walter Scott died, "and his eldest
son kissed and closed his eyes"
In his case that prayer which we quoted
of one of his successors was fulfilled May
love and truth guide such man always J"
For of any man who ever held so large
place in the hearts of his contemporaries
and of their children, and who had so great
power, could it be more truly said than
of Sir Walter, that he a0dS guided always
by love and truth ?-EditOT''S Easy CHAR,
