Every now and then the types
make an editor say things which
cause his hair to stand on end. A
Kentucky paper recently undertook
to compliment gentleman of it's
acquaintance by applying to him the
tender epithets, "big-hearted, val
liant soul" The next morning, when
the editor opened his paper at the
breakfast table, he found his friend
spoken of as "red-headed, malig-
nant mule" 1t is alleged that the
earnest manner in which the editor
demonstrated with his composition
for his carelessness prevented the
latter from comfortably sitting down
for several days after the interview.

READER, IN CHANGING OVER THE
different Newspapers, Magazin" Amanacs
and even on the slumps, feDr' and on The
house tops, your attention every where d.
recled to the scores of selfstyled human bene
factors, and nowhere is this more apparent and
disgusting than in the local notices Of certain
patent medicine vendors In condemning some Of
the most valuable preparations. WHICH they
know TO be superior TO their own, and hope BY
this continued gas .conading to decoy the
simple minded into belief that they swallow
ed the whale instead Of Jonah but it is alto
gether too thin for this country and especially
the climate because the people here. already
know whats what" and when weakness or
general debility and indigestion requires the
use OF wholesome Tonic and Restorative they
resort promptly to McCUTCHEON'S "CiER
OKEE INDIAN BITTERS" and are never
disappointed in their reasonable expectations.
Az yet nothing equal to il Is offered for their ac-
ceptance either in this or any other market,

TIC rule in the years preceding, by official facts
and figures. He showed that although the Re-
puoiicans left legacy of some 500, 600, defcien-
ey' ara other amounts appropriated and not paid,
when would swell the sum total to near $780,
600, yet the Democracy bad paid all these debts
mad now full treasury, aud the taxes had not
been increased, nay in many counties LARGELY
decreased. He compared Que taxes with four re-
preventative States from the North, and a like
number from the East aud West, and proved that
on an average they were more than 80 per cont.
less In our State. He showed that all the public
institutions of the State were in good working
order, and he expenses of running the same
largely reduced under Democratic rule. He
proved that our printing and legislative expenses
were much less in proportion than States under
Republican rule.
CLOSING REMARKS.
The Democratic party seeks to revive no dead
issues, but stands by its principles supports the
Federal government in all its constitutional an
'hority regards at this day rs Jefferson did in
his day that the true province of republican
government be the protection Of rights and
not interests, defends the reserved rights of the
would impair or destroy the constitutional rights
or independence of the other department IS, as the
executive and legislative departments under
their rule in over siaughiug the honest opinions
OF tue Supreme Court, by increasing their num-
oers and in the appointment of new Judges, who
are subservient to executive and legislative will
holds that the nearer approximation can he made
to universal free trade, the greater will be the
advantage of the Federal government to the
people.
Intervention by the Federal ministration in
State politics, the advancement of lis intrgues,
is hostile to freedom and purity of elections, AN
insult to popular Intelligence, and merits the in
dignant reprobation Of the people jealous of
their rights.
We invite cooperation and welcome TO full
fellowship in political action all patriotic citizens
who agree with US in these principles and are
willing TO unite and establish their benifceut
rule in the Government of the State and nation.

We Reap what we Sow.

For pleasure or pain, for veal or for woe
T'is the law of our beng-we reap rs we sow
We may try TO evade them, ma v do what we will
But our acts like our shadows will follow us still
The world is wonderful chemist, be sure,
And detects in a moment the base or the pure
We may boast of our claims to genius or birth.
But the world takes man for just what he is
worth.
We start in the race for fortune and fame,
And then, when we fall, the world bears the
blame
And nine times out Of ten, It's plain to be seen,
There's 'screw somewhere loose" in the hu-
machine
Are you wearied and worn in this hard, earthly
strife
Remember this great truth has often been proved,
We must make ourselves loveable, would we be
loved
Though life may appear as a desoate tract
Yet the bread we cast on the waters comes back.
This law was enacted by Heaven above
That like attracts like, and love begets love.
We proud of our mansions of mortar and
stone.
In our garden arc flowers from every zone
But the beautiful graces which blossom within
Grow shriveled and die in the Upas of sin.
We make ourselves heroes and martyrs for gold
Till health becomes broken and youth becomes
old,
All did we tho same for n beautiful love-
Our lives might be music to angels above
We reap what we sow-oh wonderful truth
y Truth hard to learn in tho days Of our youth
Butt shines out at last, az the "hand on the
wall"
For the world has its debit and credit" for all

know of q lady who has derived great ben
Cit from drinking tumbler Of sweet milk

quaintance, who was afflicted for many years
with great distress after eating, has effect
ed cure by mixing a tablespoonful of
wheat bran in half tumbler of water. and
drinking it half an hour after his meals. tt
is necessary to stir quickly and drink inn

co are probably the worst substances per-
sons troubled with dyspepsia arc in tho
habit of using, aud should be avoided.
Regular eating of plain, nourishing food,
aud the use of some simple remedies like
the above, will effect in most cases quicker
cures than medicine.

A FoUSDLNG On Thursday morning last
Nr ST. c. Kyle, Of Bridgewater, found at his
front door on his porch, in wicker basket, a
fnc-lookng, healthy male child, newly born,
wrapped up ia n blanket with nursing bottle,
some little clothing, and note accompanying,
in which Mr.. X. was assured that the child was
Of respectable pareutagc, and il be would raise
IL he should be rewarded in the future. Mr H.
not approaching the happiness Of having a live
baby in the house, obtained permit from David
Suier, at Dayton, to take il to the poor-house,
and it was accordingly handed over TO Robert
Cox, Superintendent of that institution on Fri
day or Saturday, where the hapless little strang-
er now is-Mr. X. named it Il. b. Bascom after
the celebrated preacher Of that name, who was
also a founding.
u may not be the business Of the press 20 hunt
up snd TO point out the wretched mother Of this
unfortunate child but we do not hesitate to say
that the cruel and unnatural desertion Of her of
spring, just as It's little eyes saw the light, is a
crime not very far short Of murder and totally
excludes her from the sympatbies Of those who
would otherwise at least pity her. The hcartess
abandonment Of her child, toe FIRST il may be Of
her shame and dishonor, is worse sin against
God and human society than the sin Of her be-
trayal Alas that such things should occur in
a civilized community l-Rock. Rso., oct. /.
