One of the pests which dog civil
izatiOn-the more so the further it
adyances-is the fear of ridicule. Is
there anybody living, who has not
Often been laughed out of what he
ought to have done, and laughed
into what he ought not to have donr?
Who has not sinned? Who has
been a renegade from duty? Who
has not stifled his best feelings
Who has not mortified his noblesi
desires, solely to escape being laugh
ed st? And not once merely, but
time after time, until that which has
so 0ften been checked becomes stun
ned and no longer dare hold up its
head. And then, after having been
laughed at ourselves, we, too, join
the pack who go about laughing
down others.

Peter COOper's Opinion of
Greeley.

Peter COOper's Opinion of
Greeley.
The venerable Peter Cooper, of
New York, has written a letter in
favor of Grant and Wilson. He has
known Greeley all his life, and
thinks him unfit for President. He
says:
"We may we'll ask whether it
would be wise for US as a nation to
incur the tremendous responsibility
of putting all at hazard in order to
try the double experiment Of placing
the Government in the hands of a
party made up of all the disappoint-
ed and dissatisfied men of our coun-
try. The most of these men believe
in a 'white mans government
They are using all their arts to elect
our esteemed friend, Hoarce Greeley,
for President of the United States.
By this they hope to accomplish
their purpose of regaining their lost
cause I fear if our friend should
have the bad fortune to be, elected,
he will find that he has lent his in
huence to a class of men who will
use the power they gain, to place
the blacks under the ban of serfdom
and peOnage, which may be as bad,
if not worse than slavery itself. Our
friend may find himself, with his
best intentions, entirely powerless to
control a government made up OF
men who believe that 'the black man
has no rights that the white man is
bound to respect

ESSENTIAL TO BEAUTY.-Don not
think you can make a girl lovely,
if you do not make her happy
There is not one restraint you put
on good girls nature-there is not
one shock you give to her instincts
of affection or effOrt-which will
not be deliberately written on her
features with a hardness which is
all the more painful because it takes
away the brightness from the eyes
of innocence, and the charm from
the brow of virtue. The perfect
lOveliness of a Woman's countenance
can only consist in that majestic
peace which is founded in memory
of happy and useful years-full OF
sweet records, and from the joining
of this with that yet more majestic
childishness, which is still full of
change and promise, opening al
ways modest at once, and bright
with hope of better things to be
won, and to be bestowed. There is
no old age where is still that prom
ise. 1t is eternal Ruskin.
