Republican Oranges.

The oranges of Bureau county,
Illinois, meeting in a Republican
stronghold. under the presidency Of
a Republican member of the Legis-
lature, have matched the Ohio plat
form in the matter of one of it's res
olutions. Instead of censuring both
political parties as joint authors Of
their woes, they declare that "the
political party which for the past
thirteen years has had perfect and
exclusive control of our State and
national affairs, with ample time and
power to remedy all evils and cor
rect all abuses within the scope of
governmental action, if it had so de-
sired or intended, is fully and clear
ly responsible for the grievances of
which we [they] complain" This is
precisely what the Democrats, of
Ohio said, but coming from the
oranges of Republican county it is
one.of the most hopeful utterances
Of the movement. The oranges will
command public respect and conf
dence just in proportion to their love
of truth and eyenhanded justice be-
tween all men and all parties. The
public acts of Republicans. both in
Congress and elsewhere, in nearly
all of the Northern States where
they have large maiorities in some
and small in others, are up for con-
sideration. The closer their conduct
is scrutinized, the more disreputable
it appears, and the party leaders are
in trouble, seeing the handwriting
on the wall E

A Wrong Belief.


When a fiippant miss of sixteen
pouts beneath the wholesome advice
of her ''old maid'' sister, so-called,
she does very foolish thing, for un-
married ladies, as q class, are wise
indeed-wise with experience, and
the workings of clear, unbiased
minds. Neither does it follow that
the old maid sister is any less beau
tiful than the maidens who pout at
her. The girls who are just budding
into maturity are very lovely, as
half-blown roses are, and their bright
eyes. changeful bloom, and unafect-
ed merriment, are a delight to all
beholders. They have the swift,
eager enthusiasm of youth, and
their world wears the gladness of
morning. But they are not necessa-
rily, more winning than the women
who have left girlhood behind them,
and who, in going on, have gathered
heart-wealth, and accumulated brain
power, have been disciplined by trial,
taught by experience, and wrought
upon by different yicissitudes of life.
The cheek may have lost some of its
rounded contour, and the lips may
not smile SO frequently, but to use
an expressive colloquialism, there is
more to the older than to the young
er woman. If she be matron, no
body thinks of disputing this; but
if. whether from choice, or because
nobody asked her, which is the un-
spoken assumption on the part of
her critics, she wears her maiden
name, she is voted insipid and tire
some, old-fashioned, or absurd, by
little chits, who cannot compare
with her in real worth. Whence
arises this feeling on their part-a
feeling which only those Of their own
class share? Few gentlemen deny
the unmarried ladies of their ac-
quaintance a place in their esteem,
and they consider an elegant, intel
lectual woman as beautiful in her
fortieth as she was in her twentieth
year. You make great mistake,
girls, when you allude to a woman
FIVE, ten, or fifteen years your senior
as paSSee. Age is much as you look
at it. The mirror in which you gaze
makes all the difference. Then,
though with real womanly reticence,
she never tells it. even to her near
est and dearest friend, there is hard
ly an ''old maid' anywhere, who has
not been courted, and sought, and
admired by gentlemen, who are now
staid and comfortable fathers of fam
lies, and who still bow to her with
stately admiration, and, in their Sc
cret soul, once in a while, wonder
why she refused them. - .....

The Poorest Man in America.

Wealthy men are often credited
with greater riches than they pos
sess, and frequently, after diligent
inquiry into their resources, find
that they have set too high limit
to their possessions. 1t therefore
rarely happens that man astonishes
himself with his own wealth; yet a
little on dit attributes a bit of
this amazement to Mr.. A. T. Stewart.
It is probably generally known that
Mr.. Stewart took steamer for Eu-
rope last week. It is not so gener-
ally known that before his departure
he made his will. Prior to making
his will it was thought advisable to
prepare a schedule Of his real and
personal estate. with its valuation.
Upon the completion of the sched-
ule, much to the surprise of Mr..
Stewart. and to the greater surprise
of his friends, it was found that he
was worth one, hundred million dol
lars. That any American citizen
should be possessed Of so great
wealth almost surpasses belief but
the truth Of the foregoing statement
is well authenticated. af

Cheer Him.

A fireman was once striving to
save a person in danger of perish
ing in a burning. house, but the
flames leaped out of the windows
and beat him back. ''He'll never do
it p cried one, "He.Il have to come
down = ''Cheer him!' shouted an
other, and in a moment three stir
ring hurrahs went up from the
crowd. It nerved the mans arm
and strengthened his spirit. IL
quickened his movements, and in
another minute he bore the child
down in safety to its mothers arms.
What power is in that cheering !
So it often is with those who are
ready to give out by the way. They
would have perished but for some
stirring 7-ord of cheer. God put it
in the heart Of some one to speak to
them. Have you ever cheered a
dosponding heart thus? Or have
you let the opportunity slip by with
the feeling. cam I my brothers
keeper? We are all, in q sense,
our brothers keeper. Is there a
poor, down-hearted man in your COM
munity whom sickness and misfor-
tune have reduced? Don't give him
the cold shoulder, as is the worlds
custom when a person is unfortunate.
Cheer him, and see if it will not I'M
fuse new life into his heart. Do
more. Lend helping hand.
What would you have done that
day your wheel got stuck in a rut,
if neighbor had not happened along
who could lend you helping hand
for five minutes? 1t was very little
for him to do, but it was worth a great
deal to you. A little after, you
were rolling along prosperously, as
if nothing had happened. Just SO a
little cheer and a little help often
puts a poor neighbor on the road
again. Surely it were worse than
churlish to refuse to give what costs
you such a little effort, yet it is worth
so much.

A rat ran up the interior of an
elephants trunk at Paris. The ele-
plant made frantic efforts to relieve
himself of this unwelcome visitor,
but in vain. Suddenly he paused
and seemed to reflect; then he went
to his basin, filed his trunk with
water, and amid the great excite
ment of the lockers on, elected the
water and the unfortunate rat with
one sublime effort.

TRY HIM ONCE MORE.


His case looks. bad, own, sir, very bad;
But let us try and save, not crush the lad:
He feels his guilt e'en to the hearts deep core;
Try him once more
Deal with him, sir, this tender, erring one,
AS you would have another serve your son.
Youth is impatient 'tis his first offence
Send him not hence!
If you forgive him now, and hide his shame,
Twill fire his heart, perhaps, to name,
And show his gratitude, as ne'er before;
Try him once more!
He seems likely lad-his eye is bright,
His manly limbs are pleasant to the sight;
Let him go on, sir, still in your employ;
Pardon the boy
Give him good counsel, in gentle way,
Tel him the story of your boyhocd's day
Recount your victories and temptations DER
Try him once more
A prison cell would never better things,
For self-respect and hope might then take wings;
You say yourself it is his first offence;
Send him not hence
As years pass by, and he becomes man,
Guided, it may be, by your own wise plan,
These words may greet you at LIES common goal;
'fYou have saved soul.'

Served Him Right.

A Troy, New York, young man
saw colored woman mounted high
upon ladder washing windows
AS good joke he shook and kicked
the ladder. The woman failed to ap-
preciate this mark of attention, and
emptying her pail of water over the
young man, she dropped the pail
square on his head. These efforts,
however, brought disaster upon her
self, for down she came, ladder and
all, square upon the young man, and
they rolled together into the gutter.
Gaining her feet, she slapped that
mans face all over with her wash
rag. At last the young man got
away. It was observed that though
he looked funnier, he did not appear
to be quite as funny in spirit as he
was before he saw the colored wo-
man.

man, who has just been sentenced to the State
Prison for life. The particular offence which
has caused her to spend the remainder of her days
within the secure walls OF the wethers1cld mansion
was the poisoning Of her third and last husband,
Nr. Horatio N. sherman, very clever and frugal
man. The incidents Of her trial and conviction for
causing the death OF Mr.. Sherman have oil been
told in the HERALD, and the account Of her SEN
tcnce to imprisonment for life, which was pro-
pounced only yesterday, is also stil fresh In the
mind Of the community. But Mrs. Sherman is no
ordinary woman-in fae< she b No ordin-
Ary criminal, no common felon. Her own
admissions o. well as the general gossip Ia the
