The Tricks of New Partyism.

THERE are plenty of men who still be
lieve in the. efficacy of tricks in politics.
If they succeed in a local contest by a
cute system of gerrymandering, they
grow confident that the same process, fol-
lowed on a larger scale, will give them the
control of the State or the nation. There
is an attempt now being made to form a
new party, whose whole capital stock shall
be trickery and deception Like a magi-
clan starting out upon a tour, the bag
gage of the new party represents mass
OF articles, each one of which pretends TO
be something that it is not Tables with
secret drawers, cups with double lids,
vessels with hidden chambers, marked
cards, loaded dice, invisible wires worked

demain, whose success must depend upon
his ability to deceive.
We gaze at the Professor" in his toy
gerry, who manipulates these articles in
front of the curtain, and we are inclined
to think him a stranger; but strip him of
his whiskers and wig, his wide breeches
and scarlet tunic, and we should very
likely recognize him as one we had seen
plying his vocation in other places and
in other years. If we fail to remember
the man in front, however we have only

Alexander the Great.
FEARLESS,

This remarkable man was born in Mace
donia 356 years B. c. His father was
Phillip, King of Alacedon, and his
mothers name was Olympia.
Alexander hated his father but loved
his mother until the day of his death.
He died at the age of 80.
Notwith landing the brevity of his
career it was brilliant with achievements
"a marval-a mammoth victory.
The sec ret of his continued success
may be attributed-to these five points in
his character: Physical developement,
enthusiasm and indomitable will, calm
ness and caution in emergency, fidelity
to friends and generosity to foes.
His sudden decline and death was no
doubt caused by the sudden change in his
character; from the true generous nature
to barbarity.
Appropriateness, or love of fame, was
his ruling passion, 10 crafty which all
his energies were employed. His best
trait was benevolence and his worst de-
structiveness.
The immediate cause of his success was
energy prodnced by necessity; the imme-
dlate cause of his fall was depravity, pro.
duced By wealth and luxury. His wants
added to his power to conquer and his
conquests were the element OF his destruc-
ton. While he conquered the world he
never learned to conquer himself If he
did in the latter part of his life tarnish an !
envious reputation by excesses and cruel !,
ty, there are many traits in his character ;,
worthy of imitation and which if observ-
ed would lead men to higher ard nobler
aims, and to lives of usefulness. Strange
as 1t may appear however, with his exr
ample before them and the increased
light of the present day there are more
that initiate the weak points in his ma
ture than the high and noble attributes
which render him so conspicuous before
the world SocRATrs

Berkely, in one of his queries asks
Whether the mind, like the soil, does
not by disuse grow stiff, and whether
reasoning and study be not like dividing
the globe"
The exaltation of talent, as it is called,
above virtue and religion, is the curse
OF the age. Education is now chiefly
stimulus to learning and thus we acquire
power without the principles which alone
make it good. Talent is worshipped but
If divorced from rectitude, it will prove
more of demon than God.

tnat the law obliged every Athenian
to send his son to school, more than twen-

taught reading, writing, and music; the
verses OF the poets, and the sayings of the
wise men ;the principles of the govern

other matters the schoolmaster knew. At
eighteen they were drafted into regiment
