the parties, and truthful examination
OF the history and record Of each, the
campaigns would be elevated to q higher
respectability. and made far less unplea.
SAINT than now. when slander and Wifi
cation and downright Misrepresentation
are the adopted tactics. Instead OF aim
ing to give correct information, the pa
pers OF the opposition seem bent on I'LL
ing the minds OF those they can infu-
ence with prejudice. and for this pur-
pose do not hesitate to presume upon
their want of information" This from
paper which, for the last hye years,
has slandered and vilified the Southern
people and the Democratic party more
persistently aud venomously, and llas
done more to prejudice the North against
the South, than half the other Radical
papers in Pennsylvania combined.

LIFE Too SHORT, YET WASTED. .-Piiny
makes striking computation in regard
to the shortness OF life. We never recall
it without being powerfully impressed by
its truth. Consider" ! he says, 'the
time spent in sleep. and you will find
that man actually lives only, half his
space. The. other half passes in state
resembling death. You do not take into
account the years OF infancy, which are
destitute of reason. nor the many dis
eases and the many cares of. old age,
those penalties Of longevity. The senses
grow dull, the limbs nre raoked, the
sight. the hearing, the power Of walking;
the teeth. also, die before us; and yet all
this time is reckoned in the period OF
life" But, shoyt.As life is at The best,
those who complain. Of its, brevity LET it
slide by them without wishing TO seize
and make the most Of its golden mo.
ments. How. much time do we waste in
indecision, in vain regrets. delusive
hopes and ungrounded feara! What
