Republic that the triumphs and reverses OF
the one will be recorded by impartial history
as the triumphs and reverses of the other.
Not based on temporary popularity, like
house built the shifting sands, it has been
founded on such grand principles of justice
and humanity that it is like a house built on
rock, against which the waves OF opposi-
ton dash powerless and in vain. 1t can cor
rectal existing abuses and establish firmly and
triumpbantly all needed reforms. 1t has fer
reted out and punished official dishonesty. 1t
has already reformed and elevated the civil
service from the debasement of past Ad-
mlnistration. 1t has, year after year, attest
ed Its belief in practical revenue reform by
steadily diminishing the burdens of taxation.
1t has won the approval of millions at home,
as well as the respect of nations abroad
And, with debt lessening, credit rising, taxes
falling, and trade prospecting, it has surely
deserved the approval it has won
There may be divisions as to men; there
may be weakening strifes and unfortunate
alterations. But the party is greater than its
. greatest men. Differences among its mill
ions there must be; but at that ballot-box,
where American voters exercise their nation
al sovereignty, they prove their devotion to
principles not by writing Republican" or
''Democrat" on their tickets, but by voting
for those who stand before the nation and the
world as the fsirly-chosen representatives of
the principles they profess. Without stopping
however, to challenge the conscientiousness
of any who may dissent from this, there are
some persons who cannot afford to allow Re-
publican ascendency to be overthrow. The
men of business and of property, who desire
stability and consequent prosperity, and who
do not desire the chaos of reaction, cannot
afford it. The laboring men, whose interests
Republicanism has always protected, and
whose wages it has sought to maintain and
advance, cannot afford it. But, more than
ALL the humble and defenseless millions of
the South, who owe their emancipation and
enfranchisement to the fact of Republican
ascendency over the bitterest opposition,
cannot afford it. On its banner they see that
trinity Of principles SO priceless to them
Liberty for all, Justice for all, Protection
for all" and, till they are assured of that
protection against all, neither they nor those
who care for them can afford to see its banner
furled in defeat.

An old oysterman can tell the age of his
bivalves with precision. Those who are IA
miliar with an oyster shell must have OBJ
served that it seemed composed of successive
layers or plates overlapping each other. These
are technically termed "shoots," and each of
them marks years growth, SO that by count
ing them, we can determine at glance the
year when the creature came into the world.
Up to the epoch of its maturity, from five to
seven years old, when they are in perfection,
the shootsa re regular and successive; but af-
ter that time they become irregular, and are
piled one over the other, so that the shell be-
comes more and more thickened and bulky.

HAsTY CONSUMPTION CURED By FELLOWS
HYPOPHOSPHITES

hfPOPHOSPHITES.
CARBONEAR, NEWFOUNDLAND, Jan. 8, 1871.
Mr. JAMES l. FELLOws.-Sir: l came to
this country in May, 1869. l found a coun-
tryman of mine laboring under some affection
of the lungs. l recommended your Syrup,
tried at the Druggists in Harbor Grace, but
they thought was inventing the name at their
expense. However in April, 1870, Mr.. Edgar
Joyce rapidly wasted away with every symp-
tom of quick consumption, SO that he was
unable to walk across the room, having no
appetite, pains in the left side, nervous sys.
tenn unstrung, dry hacking cough, &C. For
tunately learned that your Syrup could be
obtained at Mr.. Dearin's, in St. Johns, and
Immediately procured some Showed one to
w. ii. Thompson, who ordered q supply from
you at once.) This was Tuesday afternoon ;
at night he took the prescribed dose, and in
the morning he described the very results
notified on the wrapper. His appetite soon
began to return, and vOracious one it was,
too the dry, hacking cough changed into
loose but violent attacks finally disappearing
altogether pains left his side, his hand as-
sumed its usual steadiness, and before he In
ished ten bottles his health was quite restored
and to-day not a more healthy person is to be
found on our streets; and it is the opinion of
all, had he not been fortunate in getting your
valuable Syrup Of Hypophosphites, he would
now be in his grave. fntt lr 4a.s
He happened to be in w. IL. Thompson's
the day your first shipment arrived, and took
at once four bottles to the Labrador, which
he was very anxious to do, but had not occa-
sion to use them himself. No other medicine
will he ever prescribe, recommend or give,
but yours.
also Recommended it to another consump-
tive, but have not heard from him since, as
he lives in distant part of the Island. Hoping
this will give you some encouragement,

"FONDLY KAITING."

The leaders of the democracy have
been holding another meeting at Wash
ington for consultation. The critical state
of their affairs demands the most anxious
attention, as evinced by the frequent con-
claves holden. What to do they are in
doubt. They are pressed with difficulties
on all sides. They do not know whether
to call national convention or not. If
they decide to call a convention in the
name Of the democracy their chance for
coalition with sorehead republicans is de-
molished. If they delay the call demon
alization follows in their ranks.
1t is reported, however, that the late
meeting concluded to delay action until
after the Cincinnati convention. The
once. proud and gallant old party that
under Jackson and other chiettains flung
. out its banners in the Presidential cam
paign at an early day, so that all could see
!. them, and declared boldly the principles
for which it contended, now has neither
principles nor candidates to avow, but
timidly awaits the action of sorehead
i faction of republicans as though life and
death depended upon the result. If the
Cincinnati convention is willing there will
be national democratic convention.
Like the man whose connubial partner
ruled him and his affairs, and who when
asked about business matters was accus-
toned to reply, task my wife," the demo-
cratic managers have to answer to all
queries. task Horace Greeley" "wait I'M
Oh after the Cincinnati convention ~
This is rather calling position for the
men ofindependence and spirit in the par
ty to be placed in. 1t is trailing the demo-
CRITIC banner very low in the dust. Yet
the magnates whose word is law have de-
cided that it must be so, and therefore the
are kept "fondly waiting" for
SONG scrap Of comfort from the soreheads
that are TO assemble at Cincinnati.

Because the chief cook at one of the
Boston hotels receives a salary of 81 800,
while the President of Harvard University
has salary Of only $4,000, therefore it is
argued to the disparagement of the modern
Athens that the stomach is of more impor-
lance there than the head. A more correct
view of the case, however, is that there are
more men in Boston qualified to be Presi-
dents of literary institutions than to be chief
cook at hotels. The large supply of the
former reduces the market price. Let
those who have sneered at the modern
Athens confess that this comparison of
cooks and scholaras not to her disadvan-
tage when considered Alright.

confidence in the promises Of the demo-
Gratis if they knew as much about them as
the Tennessee republicans do. 1t says

moment Of weakness put their necks un-
der the heels of this corrupt and treason
able old party, know the value of such
promises, and we should think their expe-
rience would be enough to satisfy the most
confding of the utter hypocrisy of the
leaders who hold out such promises

Why, there are very few of the office hold
ers and radical editors even, who will not or
do not admit in private that Grant is unfit for
the Presidency. One of the most prominent
radicals in this state has said as much, in pri-
vate, since the present session of Congress
began. Maine Standard.
There has been no President from
Washington to Grant who has not been
denounced as incompetent and corrupt,
and those who denounced them most were
always of their own party-soreheads.
Our best Presidents were the worst abused
men of the lot.

taxation, year by year, only to such an extent
as would not hazard our finances, inspires a
confidence that no other organization could
command And its result is seen in the BROS
perity of the nation, the development Of its
resources, the enlargement of its productions,
the maintenance Of the wages of labor, the
increased deposits of the poor in savings
banks, the steady decline in the gold premi-
um, and the appreciation IN the value of our
currency and bonds.
Every intelligent man knows that repudia-
ton can never come in this Republic by any
direct vote OF Congress or people. Its dan
ger is from indirect action. A party seeking
present popularity only-consenting to re-
duce taxation hundred and fifty millions,
when but fifty could be safely abated; or al
lowing hundreds of millions of war claims,
&c.-would, without doing anything else, I'M
pair, if it did not shipwreck, the national
credit. When the payday came, and an
empty Treasury failed in the payment of in
terest on the national bonds, the shock to our
credit and good name would be felt around
the world. All values here would be un.
settled, business would be deranged, and fl
nancial disaster would certainly follow. The
republican party has never been Drawer than
when it risked its political existence in doing
rights and, while it will reduce the burdens
of taxation Gas it has six times since the war;
as rapidly as the national faith will permit,
the world knows that not for the most, wide
spread popularity at home would it risk the
plighted faith of the Republic, or permit its
credit to be at the slightest hazard of dis
honor.
No; the time has not yet arrived for its ex-
odus from power! Still, as in the past, it is
SO interviewer with the best interests Of the

Cash and Credit.

George Brown at the age of twenty
three, took him a wife,-or rather, be and
Hattie took one another-for better or
for worse. But then they knew it was
going TO be for better always, and never
for worse. How could it be otherwise,
when they loved so truly, and when they
understood each other so we'll? They
had married young, and they bad but
little of this worlds goods TO commence
with; but they had health and strength,
and they were going to work together,
and build them up home of their own
in time.
We will be very saving" said Hattie,
and in the end we may reach the g lal. .
The goal was the home which they were
to own. 1--WE shall not scfimp, nor de
ny ourselves of necessary comforts; but
we will do without luxures. By thus
economizing in the morning, we may find
a store to spare in the evening. Money
is like time, al hour gained in the early
day is great thing, while an hour lost
may not be regained."
George saw and understood, and he
was as eager as his wife. He was de-
termined to put all his energies into the
work, and in the future he saw foreshad-
owed promises most bright. He had
taken of his uncle small house which
he was to pay for when he could. He
had no doubt that he should be able to
pay two hundred dollars year on it, at
which rate, as his kind relative had offer
ed the bargain, the property would be
his in six years.

at the tea-table, "What did you pay for
this tea ~

Mr.. Skidd himself preferred that plan.

Idle Words.

BY JULIA c. R. DoRR.
Once said
Seeing two soft, starry eyes.
Darkly bright as midnight skies
Eyes prophetic of the power
Sure to be thy woman's dover.
When the ears should crown the queen
of the realms as yet unseen:
. Sometimes. sweet, those eyes shall make
Lovers mad for their sweet sakel"
Once said.
Seeing tresses golden brown.
In bright shower falling down
Over neck and bosom far
As yon sculp ured angels are
tldorous tresses, dropping low
O'er forehead pure as snow:
Sometimes, sweet. in thy soft hair,
Love shall set shining snarer'
Once I said.
Seeing lips, whose crimson glow
Mock the roses wet With dew
Warm, sweet lips, whose breath was balm
Pure. proud lips. serenely calm
Tender lips. whose smiling grace
Lit with splendor all the face:
Sweet. for kiss of thine some day,
Men will barter souls away"
Idly said
God hath taken care of ALL
Joy or pain that might befall
Lovers lip shall never thrill
Al thy kisses, soft and still
Lovers heart shall never break
In sore anguish for thy sake;
lovers soul for thee shall know
Nor loves rapture, nor it's woe.
All is said
