WASTED OPPORTUNITIES. r.

WASTED OPPORTUNITIES. = The
long winter evenings are almost upon
us, in which SO many opportunities are
improved and so many thrown away.
Among those who may, in after years,
bitterly regret these wasted opportu-
mites, are those thoughtless parents,
who suffer their children to 90 out
from their presence night after night,
and come back contaminated with the
world, through not pursuing the course
necessary to keep them at home. If
parents would retain their children
under their own supervision the COM
ing long winter evenings, let them
make home attractive, or attend them
TO innocent recrearions outside of their
homes. Youth loves brightness, and
will have it. 1t is only 4 question
whether it will be with your sanction
or without it. BE wise i'll this regard,
and do not imagine that to draw the
cord of restraint tightly will effect
what YOU desire. Enter into their
feelings, remembering what yours
were ut their age. BY all means Go
not fall into the habits of some families,
where each goes his separate way to
pleasure and relaxation, for such Il
course has caused the entire and COM
plete dismembernaent of many q
promising household, which, other
wise, might have been happy and
prosperous TO the end. Improve the
opportunities afforded by these long
winter evenings. that your future joys
my be enhanced and not darhened.

position at the end of the war, they
would have done what was more desira-
bic; they would have divided the new
vote. and so have avoided the race issue.
But they could not see it. DR.. Winkler.
of Georgia, has recently published an ar
tlcle to show that the negro is naturally
incapable of civilization, and hoplessIy
idle and depraved. The conclusion of
his logic is inevitable-the colored citi-
zen must be removed, or deprived of po-
litical and civil rights. The doctor I'M
dertakes to supply the philosophy and
statistics for the white mems party
conventions and platforms, as De Bows
Review used to supply them for the old
slave Democracy; and he states what is
undoubtedly the real conviction of the
Democratic party to-day.
Surely this simple statement Of famil-
lar facts in the political situation should
explain the cohesion of the old parties.
We constantly hear that they cumber
the earth, and we constantly see that
they remain. On all sides we are told
that there is no reason for them, that
they are ''disintegrated" and crumbling
and relaxed. Yet every effort to form a
new party fails as lamentably as the Gin
cinnati movement in 1872. In the au-
tumn Of 1871 a distinguished Liberal
Senator laughed at the suggestion that
the Democratic party was not extinct.
But in the autumn of 1874 every vote
that is east will be for Democratic or
Republican ascendency in the govern
ment. Does it never occur to those who
loudly call upon good men to come out
ofthe old parties. hat the fact of their
continued and vigorous organization, and
the imposs!bility of forming a new one
shows that the reason Of the parties still
exists? We are still Republicans and
Democrats because the question upon
which those parties were gathered into
form is still unsettled, because the con-
sciences and intelligence of the country
are not satisfied 20 intrust the govern
ment to those who cherish q sincere and
bitter hostility to the actual equality be-
