HON EST GI0lYERNMENT.

The honest people most earnestly long
for it. We once had it and the people
contrast the present corrupt rule with the
past and their patriotism is aroused to
bring it back to the good old days Of hon
est rule and low taxes.
Corruption has made its insiGiOus way
into high stations and low ones. into the
Governments of the Union, the States aud
many Of the counties, cities and towns.
Millions upon millions have been stolen
from them and gone into the pockets of
the human vnltures, who have proved
upon them, and to day, corruption stalks
abroad IN our land and places Ter horrid
clutches upon public Moneys, stocks and
bonds, and as she boards It up by her
votaries. she laughs at the calamity of
the people and makes her dessert out OF
the exhoTbitant taxes wrung out of them
by her wicked miniOns.
The widest inauguration never cons
ceived the degradation that has come upon
cur country from this cause. IL stinks
in the nostrils of the people and if they
should prove false to their duty-F an
other four years of the present Radical
rule shou ID be astened upon the cOuH>

theiF lives, property, rights and liberties.

claim for my invention over oil other
presses this: that my gripping blocks
used in pressing are cast in solid blocks,
with steel points therein, which grips the
upright iron bar as soon as the power Is
applied, and holds fast. As soon as the
power is taken off the blocks viii slide
down the bar perfectly losse, ready for
renewal Of hold, virtue which no other
press has. The steel points mentioned
can be taken out and put in at pleasure
by any common smith in the country.
The d n that | use is the common
straight leaver, applied lirect to the grip

down on the cotton with great force and
without friction. The working Of the

Great Mems Wives.

Benjamin Franklin married the girl who
stood in her fathers door laughing at him
as he wandered through the streets of
Philadelphia with rolls under his arms,
his pockets filled with dirty clothes.
Washington married woman with two
children. 1t is enough to say that she was
worthy of him, and lived as married folks
should-in perfect harmony.
John Adams married the daughter of a
Presbyterian clergyman. Her father OBJ
jected on account of Johns being n law
yer he had a bad opinion of the morals
of the profession.
John Howard the great philanthropist,
married his nurse. She was altogether be-
meath him in social life AID Intellectual
capacity, and, besides this, was 1ifty-two
years old, while he was but twenty-five.
He would not take 3" No" for an answer,
and they were married and lived happily
together until her death, which occurred
years afterward.
1t is not known generally that Andrew
Jackson married lady whose husband
was still living. She was an uneducated
but amiahle woman, and devOtedly at
tached to the old warrior and statesman.
John &. Calhoun married his cousin,
and their children, fortunately, were nei-
ther diseased nor idiotic, but they did not
evince the character of the great State
Rights " advocate.

Girls, Don't Talk Slang.

Girls, don't talk slang. If it is necessary
that any one in the family should do that,
let it be your big brother, though l would
advise him not to adopt pigeon English"
where there is an elegant systematized
language that he can just rs well use. But
DOM yoU do it. You can have no idea
how it sounds to ears unused or averse to
it to hear young lady, when she is asked
II she Will go with you 10 some place, an
swer mot much!" or, if requested to do
something she does not wish, to hear her
say, Cant see it.n
Not long ago L heard young miss. who
is educated and accomplished, in speaking
OF young man say that she intended to
Ego for him!" and when her sister asked
her assistance at some work she answered.
mot for Joe!n
Now, young ladies of unexceptionable
character and really good education fall
into this habit, thinking it shows smart
ness to answer back in slang phrases, and
they soon slip fiippantly from their
tongues with n saucy pertness that is
neither ladylike nor becoming. ~ bet"
or ''you bet'' is well enough among men
who are trading horses or land; but the
contrast is startling and positively shock
ing TO hear those words issue from the lips
of a young lady. They seem at once to
surround her with the rougher associations
oI mems daily life, and bring her down
from the pedestal of purity, wherein she
Is placed, to their own coarse level.
