| to, but within them. Wealth does not
make the man, we admit, and should never
be taken into account In our Judgment Oh
mon but competence should always be
secured, when it can be, by the practise OF
economy and self-denial to only tolerable
extent. 1t should be secured, not so much
for others to look upon, or to raise us IN the
estimation of others, rs to secure the con-
seriousness of Independence and the con-
slant satisfaction which Is derived from
it's requirement and possession.
Time for Redding-Let us take time for
reading. 1t will never come il we wait to
have every speck of dirt removed from
each article we use. We can always lind
something else to do, and conscientious
housekeepers, with little tastes for mental
pursuits, are apt to make great biunder.
SO The life is more than meat, and the body
than raiment," which means-if may be
allowed to preach q wee bit of a sermon
that you yourself, with all your immortal
faculties, are of vastly more Importance
than your house and furniture, and cloth
ing, and cookery, and these are utterly
worthless if they serve as hindrances in
stead of helps to your individual human
culture. No kind of labor is degrading if
done from a worthy motive, and no motive
can be nobler than the wOma1ly desire to
mako q pleasant home. With this end in
view-with love as a prompter-washing
and darning and scrubbing are all elevated
homes cannot be properly attractive and
profitable to our families if we ourselves
are dali and harrassed. Our brothers
and fathers and husbands and sons
need cheerful and intelligent companions
at home far more than they need nice
dinners and spotless linen. 1t is necessary
that good housekeepefs should read and
reflect, and listen and converse.
Luck and Labor.--Many people complain
Of their bad luck when thew ought to
blame their own want of wisdom apd ac-
ton. Golden thus wrote about luck and
labor: "Luck is waiting for something to
turn up. Labor, with keen eyes and strong
in bed, and wishes the postman would
bring the news of legacy. Labor turns
out at six o'clock, and with busy pen or
ringing hammer, lays the foundation of a
competence. Luck whines. Labor whis-
ties. Luck relies on chances. Labor on
character. Luck slopes down to indulgence.
Labor strikes upwards to Independence.

THE FRENCH POLITE AND RELIGIOUS
PEoPLE.-The correspondent of the Lon
don Standard, in writing from Boulogne,
thus remarks:
So unlike the market people of other coun-
tries. No noise or boisterous singing, no
shouting or vulgarity. The last is a thing at
any time utterly impossible to find in France
just as it is to find venomous reptiles in
Ireland. These people were courteous and
with gentle gravity that attracts instant
respect. Such bright eyes-the most
laughing thing about acknowledgement
| complexious, and wonderful teeth; dressed
in no wise differently from their GRANDPA
theirs apd grandmothers, but comfortably
have always greeting for you as you pass
and generally pious Dieu uous garde mon
sieur. Half way to the Calais there is q
colossal crucifix on the roadside, springing
out of grass mound enclosed by very old
stone walls. have never at any time seen
the peasants go by without raising their
hats and making low reverence. The
other day it so happened was the first time
/ had passed that way since the commence
ment of the war. saw long before / came
up to it a crowd of some fifteen or twenty
people, who had come from La Marquise,
kneeling at the foot. l knew without
| being told how their prayers were connect
ed with the brothers aud sons who had
been taken away from that quiet out of
the-way spot to serve in the cruel war.
| One very aged woman was apart from all
the rest. She must have been over ninety.
Even when kneeling she was supported by
a young girl, with one of the most Madon-
ma like faces have ever seen. They were
| both at the very foot of the cross, absorbed
in the deepest devotion. l was SO struck
| with the whole scene, and above all with
4 the old woman and the young virgin face,
that has ever since haunted me, that wait
| ed some time, till one man rose and walked
on the road towards Calais. 1 got
easily, as u matter of course, into con-
versation with him, and he confirmed me
in my supposition that they were all pray
ing for their relatives and friends at the
war. l then asked him about the two fig
ures that knelt apart from all the rest. The
old woman was the great grandmother of
the young girl, whose only brother had
been taken away the very first week of the
war. From the day on which he left they
had never missed II single day, no matter
| what the weather, coming to the foot OF
that cross to pray for the boys safe return.
And every day they went out on the road
| to meet the pOStman--an old veteran ofthe
line-to look for n letter that never came.
Once, only n fortnight after the actual
commencement of hostilities, q letter did
come from one of his comrades, and every
one in the village but those two knew that
the boy fell the second day he faced the
Prussian artillery: He lay on the ground
wounded, and a INLAND stabbed him as lie
was dying. They never had the courage
to break the news that they knew by heart
for more than three long months"

EsoN it looks.

After long and bitterly denouncing tie
Amendments as born of tyranny and
fraud and as Transforming the govern
ment INTO deSpotism, such journals as
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Missouri
| Republican propose to sink out of sight
/ the Amendments as a question and to
make their battle on the construction Of
| the Amendments. The Memphis Ap-
peal has been cheek by jowl with these
and hike journals heretofore III stlgmatlZ-
| ing the Amendments, and 1t now Is not
convinced OF either the manilness or the
| wisdom of the thin trick proposed. Ac-
cordlngiy it talks straight out, thus:
The Amendments have been denoun-
ced from their inception through all the
steps o. their progress by the whole Dem
ocratlc press Of the country. 1t was seen
to be little difficult to eat all these
words Of invective. to acknowledge the
usurpations to be benign facts, to con-
trlve the way to prevent a free people
from tramping them under foot by the
first opportunity. 1t is plain that Dem
ocrat who profcssed to fall in love with
tie Amendments would be regarded as
on cruise for the spoils. 1t was evi-
dent the departure would look like sur
render, that division and disaHection,
would be produced by 1t, that thousands
would cease to take any active interest
i'll political affairs, aud that the danger
of defeat by thus changing front on the
edge Of battle was imminent and almost
involved disaster So our Departure
men determined to turn only half way,
and just sufficiently to put the enemy on
their flank. They accepted the 18th and
18th twenty-inch thunder as accomplish
ed facts. But they Will construct them
into two harmless stove-pipes, without
powder or ball, or nIdanS OF rendering
them efficient for anything but to carry
off the smoke Of the new halt way de-
parture. They accept interpretations on
the framework Of the Constitution as law
never In good faith to be resisted, and
yet in the same breath avow that their
departure is only half way, and that they
mean to construe the Amendments harm
lessly out OF sight so soon as they haye
tie power The plan OF battle, is unite
tI-..I.zsi si4a ~es.a- anG open to the observation
Of the enemy. Does any man of sense
expect to triumph on such programme?
Will the enemy fail to pierce between
the joints Of the Democratic armor? Will
the Democratic hosts be firm and trusty
in this new battle Of playing hypocrite,
to which they have never been disciplin-
ed? Will they who have marched under
Jefferson and Jackson and breathed the
spirit of Emmett and Tell, who have rest
ed under the trees and worshipped at the
shrine of liberty, follow the lead of pig
my tricksters and American Talleyrands
aud bear their eagles to victory as if
there was in them something inspiring
to freemen? We think not. Men who
have fought all their lives for the princi
pies of true democracy will surely never
stop to fight for the spoils when these
are laid aside We need a national con-
vention which will announce as the un-
dying creed of the party equal rights to
all men as it Was nothing more and no
thing less. We may have battle, but we
shall not have vlctory.-E.c.

POLITICAL.

'Does any sensible man, in view of the
lesson taught by the New York riots, !"
asks George William Curtis. in Harper s
Weekly, think that the Democratic
party may be safely trusted with a gov
ernment which rests upon civil and re-
ligious equality p But it is better to
quote the whole paragraph containing
this question, as it will cause good
many people to stop and reflect:
"We have constantly said that the
character of Democratic rule can best be
studied in the city of New Y York, and the
events of the recent Orange celebration
illustrates it to the whole country. The
most sacred rights of free assembly and
Of religious liberty were yielded, by the
most representative Democratic authori-
ty in the country, to the mere threat OF
a religious riot; and only when driven to
it by an overwhelming public indignation
did the Democratic Governor interfere
for the protection of peaceable citizens.
Thus has it always been with the Demo
cratic party. In the old days it mobbed

Now is the time for the Republicans
of tie nation to throw aside petty differ
ences, and wage an aggressive, unrelent-
ing war on the democratic party. There
