journals are not oil so forgetful of their
country's highest interests. Says the Boston
Traveller =
late no law, nor would ne disregard any provision
OF the constitution; but he would offend prescrp-
making Of IL a thoroucb constitution provison
which binds them, and law that they gladly obey.
President Washington laid down the law" for
them this matter, and we yet feel the weight
OF Washington's shadow.
This is outspoken, but not moro so than
the Newark Advertiser, which says -
We do not believe that the people OF the United
States will ever confer third term upon any
President. 1t Is contradiction OF the higher law
OF the republican theory, and the people would
look upon 1t, making this exceptional ruler "sus-
pect" from the moment OF his oath OF ONCE"
This journal considers that every step
he would take-say, the needed increase of
the army or navy-would subject him to
popular denunciation. We scarcely doubt it;
but the Advertiser must remember that the
President is responsible only to impeachment,
and the value of that resource was tried,
as we have already noted, with the most
unpopular President that ever filed the chair
OF Washington, and failed utterly. A Presi-
dent fortified as General Grant would be
could defy all clamor and even make it an
excuse for o fourth election. The Wathena
(Kansas) Reporter goes step further. 1t is
a republican journal and we shall soon be
able TO judge whether its more submissive
brethren of the republican camp will have the
temerity to test the truth of its prophecy. 1t
says:-
The precedent that was set by Washington ana
has since 0een accepted as iully established has
become a common law, which Is higher than consLi.
| tutiOna law and there Is not the least danger OF
Its ever being overstepped. The party that would
| presume TO Ignore tins principle would be buried
beyond resurrection.
The tone of the democratic journals is, as
might be expected, full Of opposition to the
scheme of reelection. Some of them are
carried into violent sentences, which, consid-
ering the weakness of their party, are mop.
opportune, to say the least. The Atalanta
Constitution puts the Presidents desires
which he has not at all expressed upon a
! basis that we are assured is far from the fact.

Mr.. Ruby's Funeral, and how Mrs.
Moriaty Failed TO Get a Ride.

The day Mr.. Ruby, across the way, was
to be buried, Mrs. Moriaty told her daugh-
ter Clarinda that she guessed she would
attend, as she wasn't feeling well, and a
ride would do her good. She knew there
would be several covered carriages fur
nished at the expense of the family, and
she was equally confident that it could be
so managed that she would occupy por-
ton of one of them. She was among the
first at the house, and occupied promi-
nent position. AS the other friends arrived
she took occasion to recall "reminiscences of
the late Ruby that brought tears to their
eyes, and when the services were over, as
distress of Mrs. Moriaty at the death of
Mr.. Ruby was so marked as to excite the
livelicst sympathy. Then the second coach
came up. Mrs. Moriaty had got down to
the gate by this time, and as the door of
the second coach was opened, and call
made for the occupants, it seemed extreme
ly doubtful if she could hold up another
instant. She leaned against the post, and
stared into the coach, and over its uphol-
STEERING, and said the late Ruby seemed
more like son to her than a neighbor.
Whereupon the usher looked appropriately
sad, and called upon the third aud last
coach. This had yellow cushions and pink

FooD FOR INFANT MINDs.-We have
received the first number of new Sunday
school paper just issued in Chicago. 1t
has for its motto, "Onward to Heaven"
and it contains request for a notice from
other papers. One of the most prominent
of the items in it is the following:
"Old Bangs was a little too fond of his
bitters-and one day, after taking sniff
ter or two too many, he lay down by the
roadside to sleep. A buzzard observed
him, and, thinking he was dead, alighted
on his breast and peclled him in the face.
Whereupon old Bangs looked up and said,
You're Il leetle bit too smart; | amt dead
yet
We do not profess to knew much about
the best methods of instructing children.
but this seems to us to be just the kind of
intellectual food to fill the infant mind with
a yearning for pure religion, and to dis
pose it to seek to find peace in holiness.
The child whose tendency to yield to the
impulses OF original sin, impels it to walk
in the path of wickedness, naturally would
embrace the truths of Christianity with
impetuous ardor, immediately after read
ing about the snifters of old Bangs, and if
the illusions to bitters did not convince
such an evil-disposed babe of tho instabil-
ity of all earthly happiness, certainly the
conversation between Bangs and the buzz
z'rd would create an irrepressible longing
for celestial joys. We can cordially re-
commend such paper as this.

straps, and Mrs. Moriaty didn't hesitate to

straps, and Mrs. Moriaty didn't hesitate to
protest that in the death of Mr.. Ruby the
community had met loss it was not pos
sible to recover from, and that she would
follow him to his last resting place if she
had to do it on her knees, and would feel
grateful for the opportunity.
Then the third and last coach filled and
drove off to take its place in the line, and
Mrs. Moriaty dried her tears, choked back
the sorrow of her heart with one mighty
gulp and stole into her own house, shut
ting the front door without the aid of the
knob. She told Clarinda that it was the
scaliest affair she ever went to, and, had it
not been for the body, there would have
been no funeral at all.-DanJury Meas.

THE SEASONS.

The glad birds sing
When sunny Spring
The earth from death delivers,
With curve and crook
The merry brook
In brilliant sunlight quivers.
With voices gay,
The children stray
Through fields and vine clad bowers;
With spirit gay
They trip away,
To pluck the early flowers.
The poets rhyme
OF Summers prime,
When luscious fruits are growing;
And ripening grain
Ger hill and plain,
Rewards the careful sowing.
Through shady trees
The cool, soft breeze,
BY cot, and mansion bloweth,
Where beauty rare
Her charms most fair,
On every scene bestoweth
When Summer dies
And Autumn signs,
Where wither'd vines are twining,
And family DER
The lonely shore,
The glimmering sunlight's shining,
The farmer fills
His spacious tills,
The beggars cease their crying,
To sing the praise
OF Autumn days,
Their hungry wants supplying.
When cold winds moan
Through WOODLANDS lone,
And storm-clouds gather Ger us,
And snow and hail
Ger hill and vale,
Tempestuous sweep before us.
In warm retreat,
With friendship sweet,
We spend the happy hours,
AS glad and free,
AS when with glee,
We gathered Springs bright flowers

SAWYER'S ONLY DEFECT.

When the Sawyers returned from their
wedding trip, we of course, called upon
them. Mrs. Sawyer alone was at home,
and, after brief discussion of the weather
the conversation turned upon Sawyer
We had known him for many years and
we took pleasure in making Mrs. Sawyer
believe that he had us much virtue as an
omnibus load of patriarchs and martyrs,
and the wisdom of Solomon, with a couple
of editions of the revised cyclopedia thrown
in. Mrs. Sawyer assented joyously to it
all, but we detected shade of sadness on
her face while she spoke. We asked her
if anything was the matter; if Sawyer's
health was not good. "Oh, yes" she
said, every good indeed, and she loved
him dearly. He was the best man in the
world; but-buG-." Then we assured
Mrs. Sawyer that she might speak frankly
to us, as we were Sawyer's most intimate
friends, and could probably smooth any
little unplcasantness that might mar their
happiness. She then said it was nothing.
1t might seem foolish to speak of it; she
knew it was not her dear husbands fault,
and she ought not to complain; but it was
hard-hard to submit when she reflected
that there was but one thing to prevent
her being perfectly happy; yes, but one
thing; for oh, Mr.. Adeler, l would ask
for nothing more in this world if Ezekiel
only had Roman nose ~ We did not
mention the subject to Ezekiel when we
met him for fear of exciting him. But it
is said to think of two young lives being
made miserable and two loving hearts sep
arated just for want of one Roman nose
But it is partly Mrs. Sawyer's own fault.
Any woman who truly loved her husband
might, we think, live happily with him if
he had nose like bar of CASTLE soap.
