Cure for Small POx

The following is an efeotual cure
for the smallpox When the prece-
ding fever is at its height, and just
before the eruption appears, the
chest is rubbed with croton oil and
tartaric ointment. This causes the
whole of the eruption to appear on
that part Of the body, to the relief of
the rest. It also secures u full and
complete eruption, and thus prevents
the disease from attacking the inter
nal organs. This is now the estab-
Iished mode of treatment in the
English army in China, and is re-
garded as a perfect cure.

Party Difference.
The State Journal says:

The State Journal says:
The reason why the Republican
party has been so strong in the con-
fdence of the people is because it has
never hesitated an instant in punish
ing corruption and thievery in its
own ranks. In this it has possessed
the moral courage that the Demo
cratic party never has had, and the
result is that while the Republican
party is stronger than ever before,
the Democratic party was never
Prompt justice for thieves

trine, and it cannot now afford 10

ton.

Leigh Hunt concludes an essay on
marriage as follows: "There is no one
thing more lovabIe in this life, more full
of divine courage, than when a young
maiden, from her past life, from her
happy childhood, when she rambled
over every field and moor around her
home; when a mother anticipated her
wants and sOothed her little cares; when
her brothers and sisters grew from mer-
ry pIaymates to loving, trustfuI friends;
from Christmas gatherings and rOmps,
and Summer festivals in bower or gar
den; from the rooms sanetihed by the
death of relatives; from the secure back
grounds of her childhood, and girlhoOd,
and maidenhood, looks out into the dark
and unlimited future away from all that,
and yet unterrifed, undaunted, leans
her fair cheek upon her lovers breast,
and whispers, Dear heart cannot see,
but I believe. The past was beautiful,
but the future I can trust-With thee!"

A Democratic Insult to COIOred
Men.

The colored people of the country
should remember that the Cincinnati
Enquirer, in referring to the death of
Governor Dunn, of Louisiana, used
this language: "It is the necessity of
the Republican party to go cropping
about in the kitchens and at the corn
shuckings where statesmen ofthis breed
unbend." According to the Louisville
Courier Journal, Governor Dunn, al
though once a slave, had more good
sense, more dignity, and more sense of
propriety tlfan has the editor of the En-
quirer. The same spirit that sneered at
Abraham Lincoln because he was a self
made man, rules in this sneer at Gov.
Dunn. And this spirit is the party
spirit of the Democratic organization,
and that it is anti-American need scarce
ly be said. The Democratic party gave
all its strength to crush the coIored peo-
pie, used its power to keep them down,
and now refuses to accord any merit to
them, and refuses to encourage them in
we'll doing.

How did people get in the habit Of
shaking hands7 The answer is not far
to seek. In early and barbarous times,
when every savage and semi-savage was
his own law-giver, judge, soldier and
policeman, and had to watch over his
own safety, in default Of all other pro-
lection, two friends and acquaintances,
or two strangers desiring to be friends
or acquaintances, when they ehanced to
meet, offered each other the right hand
the hand alike Of offence and defence,
the hand that wields the sword, the dag
ger, the club, the tomahswk, or other
weapon Of war. Each did this to show
that the hand was empty, and neither
war nor treachery was intended. A
man cannot well stab another when he
is in the act of shaking hands with him,
unless he be a double-dyed traitor and
villain, and strives to aim a cowardly
blow with the left while giving the
right, and pretending to be on good
terms with his victim.

Select Miscellany.
THE DOORSTEP.


The conference meeting through at last,
We boys around the vestry waited 80
To see the girls come tripping past,
Like snow-birds waiting to be mated.
Not braVer he that leaps the wall
By level muskst flashes litten,
Than I, who stepped before them all, >
Who lcnged to see me get the mittOn.
But no, she blushsd and took my armI
We let the old folks take the highway,
And started toward Maple Farm
Along kind Of lovers by-way.
I can't remember what we said,
Twas nothing worth song or story,
Yet that rude path by which we sped
Seemed all transformed and 10 q glory.
The snow was crisp beneath our feet,
ThsmoOn was fun, the fields we're cleaning;
By hood and tippet shsItefod sweet,
Her face with youth and health was beaming.
The little hand outside her muff-
o sculptor, If you could but mould III
So lightly touched my jacket cuff,
To keep 1t warm had to hold it.
To have her with me there alone,
Twas love and fear and triumph blendedi
At last we reached the foOt-wOrn stone,
Where that delicious journey ended.
She shook her ringlets from her brow, -
And with "Thank you, Ned, !" dissembled
But yet I knew she understood
With what daring wish I trsmbled. -.
A cloud passed kindly overhead,
The moon was slowly peeping through it,
Yet bid its face as II it said
"COme, now or never do 1t do ar'
My lips till then had only known
The kiss of mother and Of sister,
But, somehow, full upon her own
Sweet, rosy, darling MOUTH kissed her!
Perhaps twas only bOyish love, yet still,
o, listless woman weary lover!
To feel once more that fresh wild thrill
I'd give-but who eau live life over?

A word Rtth Young zen.

1t is, as easy to be rich man as
a poor one. Half the energy dis
played in keeping ahead that is
required to catch up when behind,
would save credit, give more time
to attend to business, and add to
the profit and reputation of those
who work for gain. Honor your
engagements. If you promise to
meet man or do thing at a GER
tain moment, be ready at the ap-
pointed time. If you go on busi-
ness, attend promptly to the matter
in hand, then as promptly go about
your business.
Do not stop to tell stories in busi-
ness hours. F..a..
If you have a place of business,
be found there when wanted. No
man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons. Never ''fool"
on business matters. Have order,
system, regularity, liberulity,
promptness. Do not meddle in
business you know nothing Of
Never buy any article you do not
need, simply because it is cheap,
and the man who needs it will take
it out in trade. Trade is money.
Strive to avoid harsh words and
personalities. Do not kick every
stone in the path ; more miles can be
made in day by going steadily on
than by stopping to kick. Pay as
you go. A man of honor respects
his word as he does his bond. Aid,
but never beg. Help others when
you can, but never give what you
cannot afford to, simply because it is
fashionable. Learn to say no No
necessity for swapping it out dog
fashion, but say it firmly and respect
fully.
Have but few confdants, and the
fewer the better.
Use your own brains rather than
those of others. Learn to think and
act for yourself. Be vigiIant. Keep
rather ahead than behind the times.
Young man, cut this out, and if
there be folly in the argument, let
us know.

So far as our present vision extends,
the hope Of disruption to any con-

ranks may be abandoned by the

year. The causes of the dissatisfac-

eral in their nature, and grow out
