'T like the Children" he said to
me one day at the table. ''I lik'em
and l respect'em. Pretty much ali
the honest truth telling there is in
the world is done by them. Do you
know they play the part in the
household which the kings jester,
who very often had a mighty long
head under his cap and bells, used
to play for a monarch. There's no
radical club like nest of little folks
in a nursery. Did you ever watch
a baby's fingers ? l have, often
enough, though | never knew what
il was to own one" The master
paused half minute or so, sighed
perhaps at thinking what he had
missed in life-looked up at me va
cantly. l saw what was the matter;
he had lost the thread of his talk.
"Baby's fingers" l interclated.
Eyes, yes, did you ever see how
they will poke those wonderful lit
tie fingers of theirs into every fold,
aud crack, and crevice they can get
at? That is their first education,
feeling their way into solid facts of
the material world. When they be-
gin to talk it is the same thing over
again in another shape. If there is
a crack or flaw in your answer to
their cOnfounded shoulder-hitting
questions, they win poke until they
have got it gaping just as the baby's
fingers have made a rent out of that
atom of hole in his pinafore that
your old eyes never took notice of.
Then they will make such fools of
US by copying on a small scale what
we do in grand manner"

NO GOING BACK.
The Democrat who Opposes S'Gree-
ley and BEoVEn's works
for Grant.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Democratic party occupies a
peculiar attitude toward this COR
vention. 1t has had nothing 10 do
with the orgaiZation Of it, and was
by its terms excluded; yet at the
same time, by taeit understanding.
it was understood that, if its action
agreed generally with its princi-
pies, it would indorse it and make
no opposition to its nominees. This
is an act of patriotism and self-ab-
negatiOn unparalleled in the history
of political parties. 1t has three
million votes. There is hardly five
per cent. difference between it and
the entire strength Of the Republi-
can party in the United States
With this great proportion of popu-
lar strength it will waive all other
considerations that appeal to its
passions and prejudices, and sup
port the Cincinnati nominees upon
the sole idea that their success will
best subserve the interests of the
country. The Grant men do not be-
lieve us capable of this sacrifice
They reason from their own stand
point of self-inIerest and corruption.
They will be convinced by practical
experience, and by that only. When
they find the organization enlisted
in this behalf, they viii spend their
money, their time and exertiOns in
the getting up what will be called
straight Democratic tickets all over
the country. Against this Republi
can dodge we warn our friends, and
we assure them that those who op-
pose the anti-Grant movement in
this particular can with truth be
suspected of favoring his re-elec-
tion. No other construction can be
put upon it. The only hope of the
Grant men is that the Democracy
and the Liberal Republicans will
have two separate organizations
and tickets. We intend that this
shall not avail them, and that all
those who desire the defeat of Grant
shall have a practical opportunity
of mauifestin0 it,

HORACE GREELY.

The indications are favorable to
Greely's nomination by the incin-
natl Convention; and we believe il
will be less Objectionable to the
South than any other likely to be
made there. Some of the views of
Mr.. Greely may not please us. But
he was never the author or the ad-
vocate of the reconstruction meas
ures, nor of the execution of them,
which has created and continued u
peace war. His slavery views
touch only an obsolete issue, and
these, as well as even the Union, he
demonstrated should not be enforc-
ed by the bayonet. He is a protec-
ZIONIST. But we are not likely soon
to get q better tariff act than he
would approve. What we like him
for is that his record shows him an
outright honest man. He will
make a clean sweep of the rascals
and thieves. AS President, he will
do his own thinking, and enforce an
honest Republican administration.
This would be prOdigiOus stride
onward toward liberty.-NemH ,

The a1oney-Test Of Pissy.


1t may sound ungracious to some
ears, but il is none the less true,
that the mOney-test is the best cri-
terion Of a mans religion. Some
times, indeed, we may find a man
who is willing to contribute liberal
ly to q cause for which he is unwill-
ing to make any other sacrifice.-
We sometimes-perhaps frequently
find men who seem to thiBk that
if they will only pay handsomely
into the treasury OF the Church,
they need not trouble themselves
about living according to her re-
qnirements. But while we concede
that there are cases like these, we
will still contend for the general
rule, that the best payers are the
best Christians. or course, there
are in every Church very good
members whose means are limited,
and of whom much could not be ex-
pected. But If they be earnest aud
Jealous, they will prove il by their
liberality, even though they be
poor; for il is the manner, rather
than the amount, which indicates
the spirit. Every one who has any
experience in business, knows thai
there are men who pay largely who
do not deserve to be called good
paymasters. They pay only when
they cannot help il, and then with
such a show of reluctance that it is
evident they had much rather not
do so. So there are men who con-
tribute TO the Church largely who
are not to be classified as liberal
givers. They show too plainly that
other motives than the cause of
Christ urge them to yield Of their
substance. Sometimes the officers
who have il IN charge TO make col
lections, have TO operate on the
baser feeling of their nature in or
der to get from them the amounts
which their means warrant them
to give.
Now, a man who has a genuine
zeal for the welfare and prosperity
of his Church, will need no stimu-
latiBg to induce him to give pecu-
MARY aid toward building her up
III the Lord has blessed him with
abundance, he is willing OF that
stead of seeking TO avoid calls on
his purse, he is ever looking out to
see where money may be profitably
AMNCoECu AOl the -A0cNCL 6CLNlCE--
If he be poor, there is still no lag
ging. The mite that he is able to
contribute, is paid in with prompt
ness and with pleasure. lie does
not wait to be asked, nor exposes
deacons to the unpleasant duty of
asking for his quota time and again.
He knows that such delinquency
would make them feel as unpleasant
ly as it would him, and though
pride is not his ruling motive, he
does have too much pride to
wait to be pushed into doing his
duty.
The man who gives to his Church
as largely as his means viii allow,
will, as q general thing, enjoy his
Church privileges. He will feel
that it is his Church; that he has in-
terest in all that she has and is. He
will not be pulled half-reluctantly
into her enterprise, nor feel like q
stranger when he enters within the
walls. His pastor and his brethren
will all be the dearer to him when
he feels that he and they are all en-
gagged in one common work, and
that he hasaided its furtherance as
far as his ability viii allow--In-

DISTANCE.

Oh! subtle secret Of the air,
Making the things that are not, fair
Beyond the thiBgs that we can reach
And name with names OF clumsy speech;
By shadoS-worlds Of purple haze
The sunniest OF sunny days
Ostweghing in our hearts delight;
Opening the eyes Of blinded sight;
Holding an echo In such hold,
Bidding > hope such wings unfold,
That present sounds aAd sights between
Can come and go, unheard, unseen.
OH subtitle secret Of the air,
Heaven Itself Is heavenly fair
By help Of thee. The saints good days
Are good because the good Lord lays
No bound Of share along the sea
OF beautiful Eternity.

RULES FOR GROWING OLD.-Iam
now an old man. I have seen near
ly q century. Do you want to know
how to grow old slowly and happi-
ly? Let me tell you. Always eat
slowly-masticate well. Go to your
food, TO your rest, and to your oc-
cupation smiling. Keep q good ma
ture and soft temper everywhere.
Never give way 10 anger. Aviolent
temper wears down the constitu-
tion more than typhus fever. Gull
tivate Z good memory, and to do
this you must always be commune
cative; repeat what you have read,
talk about it. DIR. Johnson's great
memory was owing TO his communi-
cativeness. You, young men, who
are just leaving college, let me ad-
wise you to choose q profession in
which you can exercise your talents
the best, and at the same tine be
honest.

A Quaker was of the delegates
from Pennsylvania. He was not a
little amazed when he saw the South
voting en- nlGSse for Greeley. "What
does this mean," asked Broadbrim;
"knowing as 1 do that these people
over there voting for Greeley, rep
resent Southern States, l am forced
to believe that every Radical speech
made about the South in Congress
for five years past is an unmixed
lie." Broadbrim was mistaken even
as these speechmakers, in many in
stances, were honestly mistaken and
have wholly misunderstood and
mis-represented the South.-Appedl

If God were comprehensive by
US, he would be finite being like
ourselves; and if revelation told us
nothing about God which we could
not understand, we should say,
either the revelation is imper-
feet, or this being of whOmit treats
is not God. The doctrine of q God,
then, must necessarily be superior
but not contrary to reason.

rhe College Of Electors.

a concise statement of the laws
governing the Electoral College of
the United States, in view Of the ap-
preaching mOmentOus Presidential
campaign, will not prove uninter-
esting, especially as there seems to
some difference of opinion on the
subject.
The second clause of section one,
article two of the Federal COnstitu-
tion prescribes the number of cleo
tors to which each State is entitled,
namely: Each State shall appoint,
etc. a number of electors equal to
the whole number OF Senators and
Representative to which the State
may be entitled in the Congress-
Pursuant to this clause of the Con-
stitution Congress passed an act
giving effect to it. This act pro-
vides: "That - electors shall be
appointed in each State,
which electors shall be equal to the
number of Senators and Representa-
tives to which the States may by
law be entitled at the time when the
President and Viee-President thus
TO be chosen should come into Office:
Provided always, That where MOI aP-
portlonment Of Representatives shall
have been made after any enumera-
ton at the time OF choosing the cleo
tors shall be according 10 the exist
ing apportiOnment Of Senators and
Representatives"
Therefore, the number ofSenatOrs
and Representative TO which a
State is entitled by isNF when the
President and Vice-President to be
chosen should come into Office, deter
mines the number ofelectors. Our
next, or Forty-Third Congress, by
recent act of Congress making the
new apportiOnment, will consist of
two hundred and eighty-three MEM
bers, the apportioAment to take ef-
feet ''frOm and after Sd daY ofMarch,
1872" On the 4th of March, 1873,
"the President and Nice-President
thus to be chosen" assume their
offices, at which time the States win
be entitled to Representatives ac--
cording 10 the new apportionment.
Hence, the number Of Senators and
Representatives composing the For
ty-Third Congress, viii determine
the number electors according to
the act of 1872, an act made Still
first section referred to heretofore,
which prOvisO states that the cleo
tors shall be determined by the
number of Senators and Representa-
tives under the new appOrtiOnment
required to be made after each emu
meratiOn, except where no such ap-
pOrtionment had been made as re-
quired sat the time of choosing
electors. ."-Aianta Whig.
The Louisville Commercial pub
fishes a note from a Senator in Con-
gress, whose name is not given,
which says:
The question you propOunded
was fully discussed in Congress
more than once, and it has been
agreed and decided that the State
is entitled to the number of Presi-
dental electors corresponding TO
the number of representative to
which she is entitled under the new
apportiOnment, instead of the num-
Der allowed by the old appOrtion-
ment.

AS it is the dew and the sunshine
that open the cup Of the flower and
clothe it with beauty, SO the moth
er's love opens and expands the
young soul and as the dew and the
sunshine mysteriously become parts
of the very essence and aroma OF
the flower, so the mothers piety
and virtue may become inseparably
blended with the child's very nature
and being; her thoughts and seEti-
ments so interviewer with IL, that
henceforth, as the sea-shell in whose
labyrinths the murmurs of the pa
rent ocean is said to be ever heaved,
so il shall perpetually, though un-
consciously murmur with the mys-
tic tones of maternal influence.
It is her love that whispers first
Above the Graded infants head,
And when the human blossoms burst,
Her bosom's still the fiow'ret's bed.
When the bright summer day is past,
And autumn clouds hang dark above,
1t fingers round us 10 the last,
That dearest boon, mothers love.
Truly did the great Napolean say,
"the future destiny of the child is
the work Of the mother"
What a holy charge is theirs.
With what kinglypower their love
might rule the fountain Of the new
born mind; warn them to wake st
dawn and SOW good seed, before the
world shall SOW its tares.
