But those days are SO long gone in this

many, who even voted for Obadiah
Bovine for member Of Congress, in
164S, may have ere this forgotten his

Mr.. Bovine was man OF nearly sixty
years of age, the son of a large dry
goods merchant in William street near

-"Mr. Cough thinks it is better for
woman to be laughed at for not being
married than to be unable to laugh be-
cause she is married. The marriage
that takes all the laugh out of a wo-
man, like the sunshine that takes all
the sweetness out of the grape, is an
exceedingly suspicious commodity, and
ought to give the divorce doctors some
thing to do. But the idea Of trying
to reconcile a woman to an impaired
life because another woman found it
comfortable, is as absurd as to try to
keep her from eating apples because of
Mother Eve's unfortunate pomological
experience.

family consisted Of the husband and his
two grown sons. The good old lady was
the only one of the family who did not
take some o. the "0h be joyful" Sit,
ting by the fire few minutes, the old
man tipped him wink, and the visitor
followed him out. Stopping by a tree,
he took out a long-necked bottle, re
marking:
II have to keep It hid, for the boys
may get to drinking, and the old woman
would raise the deuce" They took a
drink and returned TO the Preside. Soon
Tom, the elder son, asked the visitor out
TO see the colt and taking him behind
the barn, pulled out a flask, remarking:
81 have to keep this hid, for the old
man will get drunk, and the deuce is to
pay" and they both took drink and
returned.
Soon Bob stepped on the visitors toe
and walked off, the visitor following.
AS they reached the pig pen Bob drew
out good. sized bottle, remarking:
lyon know the cid man and Tom
will get drunk, and have to hide this. "
The visitor concluded he could not
drink confdentially with the whole
family, and started for home.

selves and TO she People.
From the Waverly Journal, January %.
The Gubernatorial question is again
exciting some feeling and interest. Two
gentlemen from West Tennessee, Mr..
Kerr. of Shelby, and Judge Alexander
Campbell, of Madison, are prominently
mentioned as candidates. The former,
we understand. is now actively engaged
in creating popular feeling in his be-
half. By the Memphis papers he is said
to be a clever, honest, enterprising citl-
zen. and doubtless, if elected, would
make us very good Governor. Judge
Campbell is also highly spoken of as a
gentleman of great worth and acknowl-
edged ability. West Tennessee claims
the honor of furnishing the next
Governor. and Middle and East
Tennessee do not seem inclined to Sc
riously contest the claim. 1t Is a mat
ter to us OF no vital consequence or I'M
portance from what portion of the State
our Governor comes; nor do we think it
ought to be made a question or issue IN
the election. For the sake of peace
and harmony in the Democratic party,
let us have no divisions or quibblings in
regard to men or sectional claims. Now
is the time when every sacrifice, con-
sistent with principle, should be made
for the common veal and the public
good. What we need now above all
things is the observance and en-
forcement of principle, and not
the preferment of spy particular
man or section. We have host Of
men. all over Tennessee, well qualified
to discharge the duties of Governor. In
making our selection of standard bear
er we should be careful to select that
man who can combine and concentrate
in Qua harmonious whole all the politl-
cal elements opposed to the teachings,
the practices and principles Of tho
Radical party. To insure snccess TO
our PARTY, we must have no DIVISIONS
outside tho Radical party, in the CON-
| ing election. Division in our party,
two years ago, resulted ip the election
of a Radical representation to Con-
gress from Tennessee, when our major
ity ought to have been overwhelming.
