it home aud emptied a portion of

oil. The dangerous substance Of

ing the oil on top. On Thursday
evening he lit his lamp, which
burned without accident until the
family retired. About ii o'clock,
it is supposed, DR.. Dye arose and
relit the lamp for some purpose.
The oil having burned off, the
nitro-glycerine followed up to the
blaze, when a fearful explosion
alarmed the neighborhood. Help,

A Liberal Act,

Ii we are to credit the Granite:
the Democratic party died wher
it nominated Liberal Republican
for President. By parity of rea
soning the Republican party died
when it nominated a Buchanan
Democrat for President. We
have heard for some thirteen years
consecutively that the Democrat
ic party was dead, says the New
York Express, apd' yet at Balti-
more only week ago it showed
itself to be quite as live a party
as any in the country. Thirty
seven States, all the Territories,
the District of Columbia, all the
Congressional Districts of the
States were fully represented, and
instead of committing suicide, as
we think, it Infused just enough
men of blood into its veins to
give force and effect to all that is
just now important in its princi-
pies. 1t sacrificed two of It's lead
ing men to secure liberal and good
government in the future. 1t a
dopted a platform, essentially
Democratic, made by It's old oppo-
nents of the present administra
ton. 1t acted in the belief that
a fight for live issues was better
than a Don Quixote fight with
windmills. Because it could not
get all it wanted, in the way OF
men and measures, it very sensi-
bly, took all it could get of both,
where they were in accord with
its own faith. It's gain will be
victory for great measures, and
victory for the first time since the
defeat of Buchanan. 1t will have
the honor of restoring the era Of
good feeling and a beneficent gov
ernment throughout the land
With its victory in November will
die out for a time, and we hope
forever, sectionalism, the iil-blood
and hatreds of the civil war
There will be an end Of official

lie money for the prosecution of.

Prayer-Cure.

Extraordinary Proposition for a

An extraordinary letter has
been addressed from the Athena

Tyndall, and has been published
in the current Contemporary Re

remedies, should be, during a peri

A Mans a Man for a. That.

A Mans a Man for ~ Tha,
"a mans man" said Robert Burns,
"For a. that and a. that"
But though the song be clear and strong,
1t lacks note for a. that;
The lout who'd shrink his daily word,
Yet claim his wage and a. that,
Or beg, when he might earn his bread,
Is not man for a. that.
If all who dine on homely fare
Were true and brave, and a. that,
And none whose garb is "hodden gray"
Was fool and knave, and a. that.
The voice and crime that shame our time
Would fade and fall, and a. that;
And plowmen be as good as kings,
And churls as earls for a. that.
You see yOn brawny, clustering sot,
Who swaggers, swears, and a. that,
And thinks because his strong tight arm
Might fell an OK, and a. that,
That he's as noble, man for man,
As duke and lord, and a. that;
He's but brute, beyond dispute,
And not man for "a that.
A man may own large estate,
Have palase, park, and a. that :.
And not for birth but honest worth,
Be thrice a man for a. that;
And Donald herding on the muir,
Who beats his wife and a that,
Be nothing but rascal boor,
Nor half man for a. that.
1t comes to this, dear Brother Burns
The truth is old, and a. that
"The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The mans the gold for a. that;o
And, though you'd put the minted mark
On copper, brass, and a. that,
The lie is gross, the cheat is plain,
And will not pass for a. that.
For a. that and a. that,
IT'S soul, and heart, and a. that,
That makes the king a gentleman,
And not his crown, and a. that;
And man with man if rich or poor,
The best is he, for a. that
Who stand erect in self respect,
And acts the man for a. that,

Disgusted.

To a Pennsylvania town there was
an excellent but eccentric clergy
man, named Boss. He was about
taking a collection for some espe-
cial object, and had pleaded warm
ly in its behalf. "My brethren, y
he said, Il want you all to give Iibe-
rally to-night-none of your pennies
and five Cent pieces, but let every
one give quarter, and TO set you a
good example, l will give the first
myself" dropping twenty-five cent
piece in the basket.
After the collection was taken,
he lifted up the basket, looked them
over carefully, and then remarked:
Il see that my quarter is the only
one here; so | shall take it back
again." which be did, and put it in
his pocket with evident disgust at
their meanness.- Christian Weekly

GlC WIuOW HduutlSIOy was IepedG
ed SO often, and in SO many be
witching forms, that he resolved
to propose to her at their first
meeting, nor did he dream thai
he could be refused.
The next morning letter from
bis tobacco factory called General
Peyton to Louisville, and before
his return the political contest in
the Ashland district was over; and,
wonderful to relate, John C.
Breckenridge, the young Demo.
crat, was elected to Congress.
General Peyton was both as
tonished and indignant. "Mr.
Clay's district sir, the finest Con-
gressional district in the blue
grass region, has disgraced itself,
sir" was almost his first remark
to his neighbor, Colonel Beaufort.
To his son, John, he communi-
Gated his intention of bringing
Mrs. Fauntleroy Ito adorn the
head of his table.
"Sir, she. is the finest lady in
the bluegrass region.and-+ + hope,
sir, you will always respect your
future mother"
John with aquiet smile, assured
him that he was pleased with his
choice. This pleased the general
highly, for he had been little
afraid John would object to step
mother younger than himself,
The next morning the general
ordered Powhattan brought out,
and led over to Mrs. Fauntleroy's.
Calling John, he requested him to
call upon Mrs. Fauntleroy.
The Whig party has disgraced
itself in Mr.. Clay's district, and |
am compelled to part with the
finest horse in the State, to pay
my wager with that lady, sir"
The black boy had led Powhat-
tan to the hitching rail in front of
Mrs. Fauntleroy's yard, and hav-
ing tied him, had gone into the
quarters to tell his colored broth
ers and sisters of their mistress
great good luck in having won the
famous horse, Powhattan.
When General Peyton and
John arrived they found the pref
ty widow and two young lady
friends in the yard admiring Pow
haitian.
MADAM" said the general to
Mrs. Fauntleroy, 81 have come
like true Kentucky gentleman,
to pay the wager | have lost
Puwhattan, madam, is rightfullyI
yours"
"But, General, / believe the
wager was conditional. 1t was
the horse or anything else on the
place, was it not 2"
"Madam, you are correct; but
l cannot permit you to select an
inferior animal"
"You have another and superb
or animal here" replied the wild
ow, blushingly. "Your son John;
if he would but use his tongue
| think | shall choose him."
The general rose and, in his
blandest manner, bade the ladies
good morning. To John he said ::
"Sir, you will remain"
General P.yton never forgave
his daughter in-law her practical
joke. In after years he used to
say:
"Sir, she is the finest lady in
the bluegrass region, but she lacks
taste, sir"

Without questioping the morality

OF the six States east of the.

454 900 bushels of wheat in 1869,
or about bushel and a peck to

my ration of % ounces of fl1ur per

consumption of bread, it follows
that Vermont raises bread enough

deficiency they are obliged to pur-
chase 3,S36,000 bushels per an
