BE Nor WEARY IN WELL Dome. An
old story contains lesson which many mar
ried couples have not yet learned. Whom
Jonathan Trumbull was Governor of Con-
necticut, gentleman called at his house one
day requesting private interview. He
said: Il have called upon very unpleas-
ant errand, sir, and want your advice Ny
wife and do not live happily together, and
| am thinking of getting divorce What
do you advise, sir ?"
The Governor sat few moments in
thought; then, turning to his visitor, said {:
Elbow did you treat Mrs. W when
you were counting her at the time of your
marrige?'
Squire W replied, 81 treated her
as kindly as I could, for I loved her dearly
at that time"
"Wel, sir" said the Governor Ego
home and court her now just as you did
then, and love her as when you married
her: ''Do this 10 the fear of God for one
year, and then tell me the result"
When the year had passed away Squire
W, called again to see the Governor.
and said: II have called to thank you for
the good advice you gave me, and to tell
you that my wife and I are as happy as
when first we were married [ cannot be
grateful enough for your good counsel
81 am glad to hear it, Mr.. W. y
said the Governor, ''and I hope you will
continue to court your wife as long as you
live ,ssat -.

Louisiana Sure for Grant.

However much the people of Louisiana
are divided in the question of State officers,
apparently a large majority is sure for
President Grant. How che contest stands
sthus narrated by the New Orleans Ma
ttomat Republican "The relative strength
of Republicans and Democrats has but lit
tie changed since the last contest, or, if
there be any difference, it is to the advall-
tage of Repubhcahism, for success always
brings converts. The regular Democrats
and Liberal party are simply the antago-
nists of Republicanism divided among
themselves; and division signifies weak
ness.
Besides the Democrats have gained no
colored voters; these cannot be charmed.
The offshoot from the Republican party,
headed by Mr.. Pinchback, will have no ef-
feet upon the success of Gen. Grant, for
both the regular Republican party and the
Pinchback departure have Endorsed the Ma
tional Republican ticket. This will be SO
even should the disciples of Mr.. ,Pinchback
preserve their present attitude toward their
natural allies and friends. But, at any
rate, it must be fully apparent to any one
who looks at the matter that the strength
of the party that carried the State of Louis
lana for Gen. Grant in 1868 remains undi-
minished. 1t will carry the State again.

THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.-The
sacred concert at the Third Baptist church
last night, for the benefit OF the Sunday
School attached to the church, was not so
well attended as the excellence of the music
and the object in view deserved. Ncyerthe-
less there was fair audience present, who
even in the sacred edifce were unable to
repress outward show of delight at the
performances. Both the Eureka and Rose
bud quartettes acquitted themselves admir-
ably, and the solos were executed in man
ner that would do great credit to many pro-
fessional singers. We hope these singers
may frequently come before the public. in
order that our citizens may fully appreciate
their proficiency and culture in music. We
learn that the Eureka Quartette have an
invitation to sing in Charles City soon for
the benefit of church.
