voorhees, Explains.

TERRE HAUrE, May 20.-Captain J.
c. Briggs has received the following
letter from Hon. Daniel W. VOORHEES,
WASHINGTON. D. c., May II.
DEAR CAPrAIN-Your favor is at
hand. The idea that / would, under
any circumstances, support Grant,
seems 100 ridiculous for serious consid-
Grafton. Statements to that effect are
maliciously and absurdly false. The
reason why I will not support Greeley
is that he is no better than Grant in any
respect and on some points he is worse.
This was my meaning when speaking
in the House. No honest and intelli-
gent Democrat can support either Grant
or Greeley without frat abandoning his
principles. Fire and water can mipgle
more easily and consistently than |
could become an adherent of either
of them. | will stand by the
sincere and lifelong principles. If |
did otherwise would be dishonest
man, unworthy of my own respect or
the respect of anybody else. If tor this
course | am to be condemned, / am
entirely content. | would not take any
other for all the honors the world has
to give. | confidently believe. however,
that the great National Democratic
party will not disgracefully suicide at
Baltimore on the 9th OF July. believe
II will he guided by princinle and honor
and present candidates for whom the
true and honest masses of the Democ.
racy can vote with self.respect. Ishall
labor to bring about such a result.
Others are laboring to nominate Gree
ley, the most odious man to the Demo
cratic party in the United States. | am
willing that the public may judge be-
tween them and me and determine who
has been true to himself, to his party
and to his conviction.

Fate is against me. | never could

poverty. Here l am near the meridian

Such are the complaints OF hundreds
OF men in our midst who are struggling
as they have struggled all their lives to
maintain a style OF living they fancy
necessary for the happiness OF them

leads such men down life OF poverty

With but limited or small incomes,
thev will spend money lavishly before
the public in the dress and ornaments
of their families and in their houses,
followed BY an equal parsimoniousness
towards themselves and their business
in private. Spending more than they
receive, they are constantly 10 debt, and
TO maintaia their credit among their
friends and debtors, occupy much OF
their time and monopolize the best en-
ergies of their minds, and their capacity
for making money is correspondingly
weakened, and what is clearly the road
to fortune is overlooked in the search
for a path out OF the entanglements OF
their voluntary position.
The habit Of spending money twice
over. viz: once in anticipation OF its
receipt and again when it is received,
is the cause OF the most OF the poverty
in the world among the intelligent
classes-as no one can practice it with

Don't lose your shoes nor soil your dress.
Nor get your hair all in mess;
But lie quite still, and up I'll come
To kiss you soon as get home.

She's sick, I'm 'fraid. Her eyes don't work :;
They open worse, the more jerk.

But now her sawdusts running out.
Her kid is out of order, dear;
My papa says ehe'e out OF gear.
That's dreadful, isn't 1T ? But then

And be real good while am gone?

And kiss you, soon as | get home.

A Sad prcmGnitlen,

4 strange story is told iii foreign
newspaper of Chinese boy at Shang.
hal, who told his schOolmaster that he
had dreamed that his stepmother had
murdered him and hidden him in a iar
under the floor of her house. Soon
after the boy no longer came to school
and the master called at his house to
inquire for him. An unsatisfactory re-
ply was given, which excited the srs
picions of the dominic, who toek the
liberty of tearing up the floor, and,
behold, there was the corpse of the IN
fortunate lad, nicely dissected and
slowed away in jar. The murderer
has been duly executed, and the faith
of the Shanghais in dreams has been
prodigiously refreshened and strength,
ened.
