Hon. Augustus r. Wright, of
Georgia, in a communication to the
Atlanta Constitution, pronounce5 for
Greeley at all hazards. He says:
Light for the ruined and fire charr
ed South beamed out from the Gin
cinnati Convention. Shall we sup
port its nominees?U nquestionably,
by every motive OF policy, graft
tude and hope OF the future. But
suppose the Baltimore Convention
nominates a ticket, ought not all
good Democrats to support it?-
Thou shalt not follow q multitude

neither patriot or Christian. II

stcate thereby the Plutonian theory
of crusts, either of the earth or of
parties, let it worship its own God.
ave sink or swim, survive or per-
ish' with the men who carry the
Dag of brotherhood.
Has Mr.. Greeley no faults?-
Doubtless he has. On old issues, I
don't know a poorer Democratic lea
der. If we are to still fight on free
trade, extension Of slavery into the
Territories, and a league Of the
States, and such like, he won't do.
If we are still under the Jewish dis
pensation, "an eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth;" the Tribune's
ancient hullpfine on the slave Qffaar-
chy, the masters lash and the ne
gro's wall, are yet unsettled for, and
Greeley was their author.
But If @the feet Of those who
bring the glad tidings Of peace" are
still beautiful; If the noble conduct
Of these men on the question Of uni
versal amnesty; the enfranchisement
Of the intellect and virtne Of the
South. IL this is TO be considered
how can we hesitatsl "IIe that
doubtEth is damnei."

Boys.


Had I the planning of them, ev-
cry mothers son Of them should be
in state of torpor, like that of the
claw-sucking bears in winter, at the
mischievous, lawless, unlovable pc
riOd between the donning of the
first jacket and donning the first
long-tailed coat. Then, q boy has
as many legs as a centi0ede; 90
where you Will, walk as gingerly as
you may, one is always surely to be
extended for your downfall. Then,
his hair sticks out in every direc-
tion but that intended by a we'll
hammered head brush. Then, his
trousers are always independent of
the anatomy of his legs, and his
sleeves of his elbows. His collar al
so is at war with his neck; and his
hat, having been used oftener for a
football than for its legitimate pur-
pose, sits awry, like that of an or
gan grinders gIinning monkey.
Then the heels of his shoes are
trodden down on one side, and his
knubby knuckles are spelling for a
fight; and his war-whOop bears no
proportion to his age or size, being
greatly in advance of both. Then
he disdains, the embryo man, door
mats and clean carpets, and handles
delicate articles with smudgy fin
gers, and bullies his little sisters,
and yells ''cry- baby" when they
weep, ana laps up cream and
custard with the thievishness and
voracity of a cat, and deyOurs 'sVit-
tles'' 'greedily, without taking the
measure of bis own skin or-the
appetites of others. Then he is
stone deaf when you want him to
listen, and listening when you think
he is stone deaf Then, when you
need his services, he is just going
off with some "feller,'; and when
you have a "feller'' he is as much a
mixture as the parlHr walls. Then
he stands on street corners and fan
cies it manly to endure a Spartan
nausea, for the precious cigar. Then
he addresses his sister on the street |
in this wise, particularly if there is !
another boy with him: "Hallo, |
Suzei Won't you catch il when |
you get home, missr' Then, for ali |
these reasons, and many Others !
which time would fail ne. to men
tion, 1 wish he could, like the bears, |
put his claws in his mouth, and re
firing to some distant care, pass
the embryo stage of unpleasantness
in a tOrpor more conductive to his
own self-respect and the happiness
Of others,
am aware, madam, that your son
is a paragon, and not to be included |
in this category; but he is, of
course, an exception, owing TO your
blessed and wise teachings; and l
quite agree with you that your
boy, John Smith, may
well put on the cap l have cut out,
= so well fits linn. So you and 1
won't fall out, my dear. but will

and they dared not break the holy
silence around him with common
speech.
The next afternoon a committee
from the church went to the parson-
age. Mrs. Spencer saw them com.
ing and told her husband.

advice in the choice of my success
or"
81 think they might have waited
one day." she cried, with wOman's {
passionate impatience at any seem
ing forgetfulness of the claims given
him by his years of faithful service.
The delegation had reached the
door by that time and the minister
did not answer her. She. waited on
the men into the study and left them
there, going about her usual task
with q heart full of bitterness. It
was natural, perhaps, that they
should not want a blind minister,
but to tell him SO now, to make the
very first pang Of his sorrow sharp
er by their unthankfulness, it was
too much.
An hour passed before they went
away, and then she heard her hus-
bands voice calling her, and went
into the study prepared to sympa-
thize with sorrow. She found him
sitting where she had left him, with
such a look of JOY, and peace and
thankfulness upon his face as she
had never expected to see it wear
again.
MARY" he said, "there are some
kind hearts in this world. Ny par
ish want me to stay with them, and
insist on raising my salary hun
dred dollars year."
"Want you to stay with them?"
she cried hardly understanding his
words.
tYes, I told them that could not
do them justice, but they would not
listen, they believe that my very af-
Fiction will give me new power over
the hearts Of men; that l can do as
much as ever they would not
wait a day, you see, lest we should
be anxious about our future"
"And 1 thought they were coming
in indecent haste, to give you notice
to CO." Mrs Spencer cried, penitently
'How 1 misjudged them! Shall 1
never learn Christian CharityP'
So it was settled that the minister
Of MontelaiT should abide with his
people.
For three years more his persua-
sive voice calling them to choose the
better way; and those three years he
had sOWn more seed and reaped more
harvest than most men in q long
lifetime. He did his work faithful
lv and was ready when the hour
came fo, him to go home. Just at

To KEEP IcE.-Make a double
pocket Of strong wooden cloth, no
matter how coarse and faded it is.
Have a space of two inches or so be
tween the inner and outer pockets,
and pack this space as full as posi-
bic with feathers. You have no
need to use geese feathers; hens
feathers are just as good. With a
pocket thus constructed and kept
closely tied at the mouth, a few
pounds Of ice may be kept a week.
CHICKEN AND OYSTER CRooUErTEs.
Chop some chicken very fine, and
add to il as large a quantity of oys-
ters chopped, with half 2 cup OF
bread crumbs and piece of hutter;
season with salt pepper, and, IL
liked, a little mace; meisten with
one or two well beaten eggs; form
into long, slender rolls. and fry in
good lard to a light brown. Serve
on a napkin, and garnish with cele
ry tops or parsley and lemon.
PorAro PUFF.-Take cold roast
meat-beef or mutton, or veal and
ham together-clear from gristle,
cut small and season with pepper.
and cat pickles, if liked; boil and
mash some potatoes, and make
them into a paste with an egg, and
roll out dredging with -four. Cut
round with a saucer, put some of the
seasoned meat with one half and
fold it over like a puff; pinch or
nick it nearly round, and fry it
light brown. This is a good meth
cd of cooking meat which has been
cooked before.
REMEDY FOR NASAL CArARRH.-
Make weak brine, and snuff IL up
tho nostrils, and let il run down into
the throat: also wet the heal with
same. If persisted in a sufficient
length of time, it will effectually
cure nasal catarrb. It is said bv
that the various mixtures
sold as "Catarrh Remedies" in
many cases, are only salt disguised
so as not to be known. Wetting
the head with salt and water will
stop the hair from falling out.
NEw METHOD OF MAKING CoFFEF.
For four cupfuls of nicely-flavored
coffee putstyO tahlespoonfuls of the
ground berries INTO your coffee pot,
and moisten with cold water. Pour
on this as much hot water as you
desire in bulk of coffee. Then, re-
moving the lid Of the boiling tea
kettle on the fire, Immediately place
your cofeepot upon the open yes
sci; in twenty minutes you can
have a cup of delicious coffee, clear
rs amber, in which you have the
full strength of the berry without
the bitterness sometimes developed |
by boiling.

The Lexington Observer and Re
porter has this to say of the coming
contest between LOngfellow and
Harry Bassett: The announcement
that Harry Bassett had beaten the
'.leetle horse by a neck has set the
turtles to speculaii2g again upon
the probable results of the contest
between Harry Bassett and the "big
horse''-Longfellow. Some of Long
fellows friends show a disposition
to go back on him. If Bassett can
beat Lyttleton with "ease," they
say, the chances for Longfellow's
beating Bassett are very slight in
deed. And then if it be true that
Bassett played" with the little
horse, and made the race under
strong pull, it is perfectly preposte-
rous to say that any horse in
the world can beat him. But, say
Longfellow's friends, it is by no
means sure that Bassetts victory
was an "easy" one. If so, why did
he permit LYttleton to push him SO
close? Was he net running some
risk to allow so swift and game a
horse as Lyttleton to hang upon
his flank and to lose the race on
ly by the distance of a meek?
And Longfellow's friends may be
right. But after all there is only
one way to settle the question, and
in the early part of the coming
month that way viii be tried. And
we may rest assured that, however
the contest may result, a Woodford
thoroughbred is sure to win. Per
sons whose provincial susceptible.
ties are delicate should make q note
Of this.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Grant and Wilson Club at Rich
mond have the names of over two thousand
Democrats in different pats of Virginia
who have recently joined the Republican
party, and whom they are furnishing with
campaign documents for distribution n
mong their old associates.
The "whlrligig of time" brought ne
gro once a slave, in North Carolina, to the
candidacy of seat in the Legislature of
that State The son of his old master ran
against him, and was beaten by majority
of more than one thousand.
In view of the result of the Vermont O.
lection, the Hartford Times has very poor
opinion of the people of this state, and de-
clares that so long as they are "set and SOL
i'd regarding no issues Of the day-reading
nothing aud knowing nothing, compare
lively, of passing events-the fathers and
their offspring will vote in the same way.
Most of them are masters of maple sap
nothing more"
At recent Democratic convention held
at Jefferson city, Missouri, a resolution de-
claring that universal suffrage demands
universal education, and advocating the
necessity for common school education
for every child in the State, met with so
much opposition that it was withdrawn.
The war record of the new Democratic
Liberal candidate for Governor of New
ork-Francis Kiernan-is about as might
have been expected. He was member OF
the Stale Assembly in 1861, when Fort
Sumpter was attacked, when Washington
was threatened with treason, and the rebel
standard raised against the life of the I'm
ion. When the bill was introduced to raise
ten thousand troops and appropriate three
millions of dollars, in response to the call
of President Lincoln, Mr.. Herman de-
nounced the act as unconstitutional and
and tyrannical. He refused by his votes
not only in the State Legislature but in the
House of Representatives at Washington
to aid in any measure calculated to discour'
age treason and put down rebellion.

seem that the Vermont election had one
predestined purpose-to show Just how
much there was In the boosted strength of
the liberal republicans. If they were cor
rect in their claims, from the immense re-
publican preponderanco Of its population,
was exactly the State to make II evident.
Well. the election has come, and ii shows
that the liberal strength really amounts TO
nothinp-that is, the democracy OF YER
mont. with their new recruits, are able to
do no better at the State polls than they
did alone in 1868 y
The Woodstock Post, the leading organ
of the Liberals in Vermont, candidly says /;
"Generally speaking, the vote in this State
on Tuesday was repetition of the vote for
Governor in 1868. This vote is little
smaller and the majority little less, but
the difference Is Insignificant and the two
votes are, all things considered, wonder
fully alike" Again it says ut Is dis
couraging to Liberalism in New England,
and 1t is plain that If the Greeley voters do
as badly all around as in this instance,
Doctor Grant will be reelected
Tho N. Y. Tribune briefly says: "Con-
sidering the utter hopelessness of carrying
tac State, the opposition have done very
