The Bridal Tour.

Young Spngglcs and his Amarantha
Jane had just been married, aud were
going upon their sbridal tour. They
didn't know whether upon their return
they would board with the old folks or
take rooms in a private hotel. Being
only clerk, Sprggles' means were limit,
ed, and he could not expect much at FIRST
in the way Of living. "Ot course" hs
said to old Dodge, wealthy member Of
the firm who had granted him three
weeks leave of absence, 1--WE must bs in
style, you know, sir. s'pose you took
a ruSher when you were married. l mean
you took an extensive one and showed
your wife the sights"
YES" said Dodge, with nod, "Pll
tell you about it. l made long prepara-
tions for my bridal tour, and the girl that
was to be my wife helped me. We had
it all fixed, and everything laid out be-
forehand. | worked hard for it, and she
worked too. 1t was to be the grand
event Of cur lives, and we wanted that
it should be success. We felt that az
the new life opened, so should it contin.
ue. I was earning $500 year. That
was good pay for a salesman ive>and.thir-
ty years ago-bctter than three times
that amount now, as things go. We were
married in the morning at the house Of
my wife's father. Then we rode two
miles to the substantial cottage had
secured as home. My money had made
the FIRST payment on it, and NIary's money
had furnished three rooms on it. And
we ate our FIRST meal thereafter in our
own house, and l thence went to my
work, and my wife set about her work.
1t was new life, and we were deterwin-
ed to succeed if possible. And in that
effort was our joy. And in the success
that followed was usually happiness. In
less than three years my house was paid
for, and my homo was my own. Come
storm or come sunshine, we had roof 10
cover us--a roof from which the hand Of
man could not turn US. l doubt, young
man, if ever bridal tour was happier or
more profitable than was mine and |
know that the exercise Of housekeeping
upon her own account was invigorating
and healthful. But then we married for
real earnest living and loving. We be-
lieyed we should find life's purest joys
in the discharge Of life's sacred duties.
I declare" pursued the old man, witha
glistening moisture in bis eye, I'll should
| like those FIRST blessed days Of my own
home life to.live over again. Butt may
not be. And" he slded. with regret,
full shake Of the head, II fear the young
men of the present generation will not
live ITEM for my viewing"
Sprigrles walked away scratching his
head. lie wasn't sure tha, he had really
caught the drift Of the old man's remark.

trines or adopts for choosing strange bed
fellows; but with the present lights be-
fore us, the duty of the Republican party
in Tennessee is so plain that we dare
speak upon the subject, and in giving our
views, we hold no man or party responsl>
BILE, but simply ourselves.
Then We are satisfied, could an alliance
be formed by those who supported An,
drew johnson for Congress from the State
at large, and the Republican party, and
agree to fair division of honors, success
would crown the effort; and by electing
the Hon. Horace Maynard, Governor Of
Tennessee, and Andrew johnson to the
United States Senate, great work can
be accomplished and the people of the
whole State benefited, the Ship Of State
glide beautifully on in the still waters Of
peace and tranquility presenting that gran
deur experienced only by people having
full confidence in tn, ability, purity, and
sound craftsmanship Of their immediate
rulers.
Some can see no good in an alliance oI
this kind, and would prefer defeat tC
success at the cost of individual prefer
eLce. To such we say, don't plant any
corn unless you have the Best bottom
lands, don't SOW any wheat unless yor
have clover land to SOW in, don't eat il
you can live without it. Now this advice
is just in keeping with the policy sugges'
ted. Oh! some will say, such an ar
rang ement is too thin; it will be under
stood and check, mated. That is why W,
propose to talk about it, so that it may
be understood, so that the proper step:
may be taken throughout the State to or
ganize and elect such men to the mex
Legislature as will support Andrew John
son for United States Senator W.
should not forget that Andrew Johns OF
did a great work in the interest of t hos
who oppose the grand failures of the pres
ent rulers of Tennessee. We should re-
member that the supporters of AndreN
johnson are now alienated from tn,
Bourbons, and, if we show fraterna
spirit, it is as easy for them to enter oui
camp as to return home to be abused an
ostracised. The times are propitious 70
just such an alliance, and to meet th
nervous pulsations of the body polite
now being produced by the fraternal feel
ings among the hard'fsted ycomanry o
the country in the various grange
throughout the land. 1t is certainly jus
the thing.
We give below our ticket:
For Governor, Hon. Horace May nard
for Congress, I'd district, Hon. L.
Houk; for Senator, any good Democra
Of Rep ublican who will vote for Andre
johnson fol United States Senator; fC
