The Girl TO Find.

The true girl has to be sought after She
does not parade herself in show goods She
is not fashionable Generally she is not
rich. But, oh ! what heart she has when
you find her so large, and pure, and
womanly! When you see it you wonder if
those snowy things outside were women.
If you gain her love, your two thousands
are millions. She'll not ask you for car
riage or trst-class house. She'll wear
simple dresses, and turn them when neces.
sary, with no vulgar magni6cate to frowD
upon her economy. She'll keep everything
neat and nice in your sky parlor, and give
you such welcome when you come home,
that you'll think your power higher than
ever. She'll entertain two friends on a
dollar, and astonish you with the new
thought how little happiness depends on
money. She'll make you love home, (if
you don't you're brute,) and teach you
how to pity, while you scorn, poor fash
ionable society that thinks itself rich, and
vainly tries to think itself happy. Now,
do not, pray you, say any more can't
afford to marry" Go, find the true
woman, and you can. Throw away that
cigar burn up that switch cane, be sensible
yourself, and seek your wife in q sensible
way.

Going to Bed.


We should never 20 to bed with hope
for rest sleep, and perfect repose, until "all
ready" The preIiminaries for retirement
are all just as important as are those of the
days duties We must not 20 to bed with
an overloaded stomach, in an anxious or
troubled state Of mind, with cold extrem-
tiles, or without anticipating or responding
to the calls of nature in all respects Stand
ing over a register, before a fire, or in a
stoye-heated room, is not the best way to
get warm for a nights sleep. We should
take such vigorous exercise as will give
quick circulation to the blood, and not de-
pend on artificial, but natural heat. Atten-
ton to all these things, followed by such
devotional exercises as will bring all the
feelings, emotions and sentiments into ae-
cord with the Divine will, subduing pas
sion, removing hatred malice, Jealousy, re-
yenge, aud opening the portals Of heaven
to all those who seek rest peace and sweet
repose.
Itis the happy custom with many to con-
cude the evenings proceedings by singing
sweet, quiet hymn" The day is past aud
gone" ETC. which brings all present into
delightful union with each other and with
" Our Father which art in Heaven"

the abundant life that travellers describe in
tropical forests, or of those localities where

vast swarms Of nocturnal insects as to ex-

these marine animals, scarcely visible to the
unassistcd eye, and very rarely attaining
dimensions bigger than the average precious
stones on the fore6nger of an alderman,

up by numbers what they want in size that

The man of science, dipping up these
colored waters, finds them instinct with life,
the estimate sometimes exceeding 100, 900
animals to the cubic foot. But even to
him it has been puzzling question whence
came so suddenly such vast swarms. 1t is
quite recently that we have learned some-
thing of the habits Of these tiny creatures,
and ascertained that for the most part they
live far below, only rising to the surface at
certain seasons, and especially at night.
These habits are partly connected with re.
productive functions and partly with the
search for food, several species Of these an.
imas, small as they are, feeding on others

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

The democratic papers have been
Growing quite Justify over the victory
s.hieved in the Connecticut State cleo
s,an last week, as though wha: they
4ad done was something unusual in
sat state But it appears that their
xictery lacks the elements of complete

ave elected their state ticket and Sc
ured both branches of the legislature,
at this they accomplished last year.,
scting their state ticket by a,largsr
SPORTY than they obtained this year.
4sst year Governor Ingersoll was elect
IA ever all competitors by majority of

ssult to the Democrats, therefore, COM
ssssed with last year is loss of o5I

lay sane person as an evidence that

Municipal Elections in the State.

In many places, politics have had
little to do in the elections on Tuesday
last, in this State. Temperance has
been prominent in some localities, and
independent movements in others,
based upon local issues. Republicans
seem to have made gains as rule,
wherever party politics had any thing
to do in the election In the cities Of
Milwaukee, Racine, Oshkosh, Green
Bay, Portage, Eau Claire, Beaver Dam,
GAINESVILLE, Beloit, Manitowoc, &c.,
Republican Mayors have been elected.
AS the Democrat announced under
the head Of "Glorious Ne,cs from all
Sections" "where party lines were
drawn, Republican gains are generally
reported" The "homes' of most Of
the State officials, that gave Democrat
ic majorities last fall, have elected Re-
publlcans this spring Such is the
case in Cottage Grove, tho home of
Gov Taylor; Milwaukee, the home
of Treasurer keuhn; Beaver Dam, the
home of Attorney General Sloan; Eau
Claire, the home of .Immi grafton Com
missioner Alyard. The homes of 1t.
Gov. Parker, Secretary Doyle and
Superintendent Soaring have not been
heard from as yet. The spring cleo
tons in this State look decidedly en-
'couraging for the Republicans. The
sober second thought of the people is
likely to be right, and in the next fall
election the Republican party will
agaiu be triumphant in this State. if
we do not mistake the "signs of the
times" The people know that truc
reform can only be obtained though
the Republican organization. They
know that no other party ever &C
complished SO much for the general
good of the country, as that party has
done. Knowing this, they will stand
by it, in the certainty that in the future
rs in the past, it will prove to be the
party of progress and reform. ~.

---On the 18th of next November he
will be}56 yaars old. He has never
been sick His constitution has been
like iron. He has worked for ten years
as few men ever work, in this busiest
of lands. His avorite saying has been
that when retired at night unless he
was asleep in five minutes, he thought
something was the matter. He has
enjoyed absolute, uninterrupted health,
and has reveled in it. But there must
be an end to all things, and especially
to overworked men. Butler has grown
obese, and. inferentialIy, apopIeetic.
His political fights begin to tell on him.
The contests at Worcester have helped
pull him down. The Simmons fight
Sc. his nerve. into frenzy. His head
was clear, but his blood was hot, and
his face lived at times. He had wound
himself up to a fearful pitch of excite
ment. When the victory was won and
the relapse came, the blood left his
face, he became quiet and seemed to
have weakened perceptibly. His
friends on the floor said he looked IF
teen years older. But with his i'm
mense interests on his hands there is
no release from the tread-mill no
long hours relaxation His affairs are
as MEMORABLE as those of an Emperor.
