ENJOYMENT OF LIFE.-Two wealthy
gentlemen were lately conversing in re-
gard to the period when they had best en-
one, "when 1 most enjoyed life. Soon
after was twenty-one, worked for Mr.
=, laying stone wall, at t,Oe'aty cents pc,
day." well" replied the other, "that
does not differ much from my experience.
When was twenty, hired myself out at
seven dollars per month. I've not enjoyed
myself better since" The experience of
these two individuals teaches, first, that
ones happiness does not depend on the
amount of his gains or the station he occu-
pies second, that very small beginnings
with industry and prudence may secure
wealth.

1t is admitted by leading Democrats that
the propositions of Messrs. McCreery and
Jones, and the speech of Senator Blair, in
reply to Senator Morton, the other day,
have done more to injure the Democratic
party than anything that has occurred
since the campaign of 1858. The letters
received by Senator Morton since the de-
livery of his speech, from prominent,
sensible Democrats in diff lent parts of the
country, indicate that Blair, McCreery and
tives of the more intelligent portion of the
Democratic party. Senator Morton him
self has more orders for his speech on the
position of the Democracy in regard to the
Fifteenth Amendment and the Recon
struction Acts, than the printers are able
to fill.- Wash. Cor. ~. Y. Herald.
