Life's Brightest Hour.

Not long since I met gentleman
who is assessed for more than mill
ion. Silver was in his hair, care up
on his brow, and he stopped beneath
his burden of wealth. We were
speaking Of that period of life when
he had realized the most perfect en-
.ioyment, or, rather, when he had
found the happiness nearest, to be un-
alloyed. "lll tell you" said the
millionaire, when was the happiest
hour of my life. At the age Of one
and-twenty l had saved up $500. l
was earning $500 year, and my
father did not take it from me, only
required that should pay for my
board. At the age of twenty-five [
had secured a pretty cottage, just out
side of the city; l Yas able to pay
two-thirds of the value down, and
also to furnish it respectfully. I was
married on Sunday Sunday in
June-at my fathers house. My
wife had come to me poor in purse,
but rich in the wealth Of her wo-
manhood. The Sabbath and the Sab
bath night we passed beneath my
fathers roof, and on Monday morn
ing 1 went to my work, leaving my
mother and sister to help in prepar-
ing my home. On Monday evening
when the labors of the day were
done, went not to the paternal shell
ter, as in the past, but to my. own
house. my own home. The holy
atmosphere of that hour seems to
surround me even now in the memory.
1 opened the door of my cottage and
entered. laid my hat upon the lit
tie stand in the hall, and passed on
into the kitchen-our kitchen and
dining-room were all one then. |
pushed open the kitchen door and
was-in Heaven! The table was set
against the wall-the evening meal
was ready-prepared by the hands
of her who had come 10 be my help
meet in deed as well as in name
and by the table, with throbbing,
expectant look upon her lovely and
loving face stood my wife. | tried 10
speak, bnt could not could only
clasp the waiting'angel to my bosom,
thus showing to her the ecstatlc bun
den OF my heart. The years have
passed oug, long vrars-and world
ly wealth has flowed in upon the, and

true as heaven, woaId give it all

Remember. Bows Make Men,

OoyS AH
When you see ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
with torn hat and kneeless trowsers,
Dirty face and bare-red feet,
Pass not by the child unheeding:
Smile upon him. Mark me-when
He's grown he'll not forget it,
For, remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents
Do not in your anger speak.
You must sow in youthful bosoms
Seeds of tender mercy then
Plants will grow and bear good frultage
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen grandsire,
With his eyes aglow with JOY,
Bring to mind some act of kindness
Something said to him-a boy?.
Or relate some slight or coldness,
With brow all clouded, when,
He said they were too thoughtless
To remember boys make men?
Let us try to add some pleasure
To the life of every boy,
For each child needs tender interest
In it's sorrow and its joy.
Call your boys home by its brightness
They avoid gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere;
And remember, boys make men.

To the honor Of the cOlored race be It said
that out uf It's eight hundred thousand voters
ouIy one has ialtered In bis allegiance TO the
Republican party. That one bears the hence
forth dshonOred name Of Col, William W..
Saunders. lie b resident Of Baltimore city,
aud was cOusplcuOualy hOnOred by the Re-
publican party which he has deserted! As
a recognition of the cOlored people OF Mary
land his name was placed on the Grant and
Wilson electoral ticket
That honor he has declined, aud In doing
so, taken occasion to write a letter, In which
he proclaims that In future be will act with
the organization that fought for slavery,
that for ten years has opposed every measure
OF emancipation aud freedom and equality.
His secession was yesterday the cause OF JOY
and graduation among the rebels aud rebel
sympalhizers who are assembled In the Mon
umentAl city.
In the hall Of the convention, the hotels,
and other places of public resort, we are told
that large placards were posted which read
See, see ; A Grant aud Wilson elecioT de-
cIined. Fourth congressional district OF Mary
land. Sannde is the man. He Il colorcd.
lie goes for Greeley and Brown"
The reasons which Saunders gives for his
detection are simply ridiculous. The Phila-
delphla platform docs not suit this exacting
gentleman. The party that during the last
twelve years has done so much for him aud
his people does not now come up to bis high
standard OF political excellence, and be seeks
succor and assistance from the party that In
his own city Of Baltimore only short time
ago refused him admlltance TO the street cars,
until compelled to do so by Republican legis-
lators and Republican Judges.

good aud faithful officers have been remOV ed

ton schemes; that 10 the distribution Of the
Government patronage aud honors fidelity To
the fortunes Of General Grant has been made
the tnyariable test Of fitness. 10 season and
out OF season he has been bowling for civil
service reform.
Let us see how he runs tho "machlue" In
his own State. lie has just dismissed from
office Mr.. Emory WAshburne, the warden Of
the State prison, aud given bis position TO an
editor whose only merit Is that he Is stead
fast supporter OF Gov. Palmer. There were
no charges against Mr.. Wafhburne. His ad-
mlnistratlon was oOnspIcuously able and
efficient, Expenses were reduced, great i'm
prOyements In the management Of the prison
introduced, aud many needed reforms effected
since he was placed at Its head.

a majority Of the tnen who nominated him

Of the coming campaign. Gen. Grant, as the
