'.The Courier and the Custom House organ
seem to agree wonderfully well together. The
Courier quotes that paper against the Journal,
and that paper quotes the Courier against the
journal and the Liberal party. The Courier we
believe. expressed weakness for the Custom
House party last winter, which it has proba-
bly, not recovered from yet. While every is
sne of it now is brimfnl of denunciations
against the Liberal party, Warlnoth and the
journal, it has not word to say against the
Caution House party, etc. Oh, no the bar

AN ARMY WITHOUT soL pIRRs.

1t is not an unsafe proposition to say that
the Liberal movement is weaker to-day than it
was before the nomination. of Mr.. Penn was
made. We attribute this to three facts: First,
that the principal nominee ON the ticket is not
the soul of the movement, as he should be !;
second, that the nominations, as whole, do
not represent, as they should, the different
classes that ought to comprise the Liberal
party; and third, that the movement seems
to be without d leader such it should have.
The Liberal convention should not have al
lowed Governor Wannoth to withdraw his
name from its use The members assembled
with the understanding that Warmoth was
to be put at the head Of the ticket.
As the matter stands, it does not seem pos
sible for Penn to rally the additional force
that Is required to carry 5he State.

A WARMoTH TRIcK.-We call the readers
attention to the following article from the
letter of Col. Morrison giving the list of the
names of members of the Legislature who are
sald to have received bribes for voting for the
l.eVee bill, first appeared. The editor has
since analyzed that list, and come to the CON
ciuslon that it was gotten up for political eff
feet. That the bill creating the Louisiana T.a
wee Company was passed by means of bribery,
we feel assured; and we doubt not the list
furnished Col. Howard was represented as
containing the names of those who were to re-
ceive biibes; but we are not prepared to say
they were all placed there by authority, or
that all the parties named received the money.

Keep out of Debt.

Half the perplexity, annoyance,
and trouble that men have in this
world is in consequence of getting
into debt. 1t seems to be natural
for some people to buy and incur
obligations. without measure, so long
as they can avoid paying ready cash.
Give one OF this sort a chance to
buy on credit, and the questions Of
price and conditions of payment are
matters that ne cares but little
about. But what a crop of trouble
springs up from the seed of debt.
How many sleepless nights result
from it, How many gray hairs 1T
brings, and how often it shortens
life-sometimes leading men TO COM
nit suicide or murder Yet, how
easy q thing it is to keep clear of
this terrible monster. Every young
man should form fixed and unal-
terable determination before COM
mencing his active business career,
not to incur one penny of indebted
ness under any circumstances. New
err borrow never buy anything I'M
less you have the money to pay for
it at once; pay no attention to
splendid opportunities, bar
gains, }" ''rare chances" and the like.
Such affairs are only traps which
debt sets to catch victims. If you
see anything you would like to buy,
or il any offer is made that you
would like to accept, look, first, at
your money-pile, and let the answer
depend upon that. Always pay as
you go. 1fyou are short of money,
you guage your demands according
| ". Foster habits of economy, live
within your means, buy nothing
that you cannot properly afford, and
you will go on through life free
from the miseries and troubles that
ever beset the path of the debtor.

Doctor vs.. Lawyer.

The follow sharp spat took place
between the Attorney General and
a Doctor witness in the Wharton
poison trial which took place in Bal
timore. The pill man got the best
of the lawyer:
The Attorney General asked the
witness if he ever made an autopsy
of a body where death had resulted
from fulmanic form of this disease ?
The Doctor replied that he had
made an autopsy in which the symp-
toms certainly. indicated that form
Of disease.
Attorney General-But can iyou
say positively whether it was or net?
Doctor-The symptoms often run
into one another.
Attorney General-But a Doctor
or Doctors ought to be able to tell
where they run?
Doctor-They. can tell as well as a
lawyer.
Attorney General-But a doctor.
mistakes are often buried six feet
under ground.

at richer homes, and covet their

faction is ready TO spring up, go =
step farther and visit the homes of
the suffering poor; behold dark,
cherries apartments, insufficient
clothing, and absence of all comforts
and refnements of social life, and
then return to your own with q Joy
full spirit. You will then be pre-
pared to meet your husband with a
grateful heart, and be ready to ap-
preciate the toll and self-denial
which he has endured in the bust

operate cheerfully with him in so ar
ranging your expenses that his mind
will not be constantly harrassed lest

croach upon public payments.

Fne warm Hand of sympathy.
