When I look upon the tombs of tn

When 1 look upon the tombs of the
great. every motion of envy dies; when
I read the epitaphs Of the beautiful,
every inordinate desire forsakes me;
when I meet with the grief of parents
upon a tombstone. my heart melts
with compassion; when I see the
tombs of parents themselves, l reflect
how vain it is to grieve for those
whom we must soon follow; when /
see kings lying beside those who have
deposed them; when I behold rival
wits placed side by side, or the holy
men who divided the world with their
contests and disputes, / reflect with
sorrow and establishment on the friv-
olous competitor, factions and debates
of mankind.-Addison.

A condemned man in Missouri had
a liberal curiosity to see the scaffold
built on which he was to be hanged.
He was granted this indulgence. with
the added benefaction of an arm chair
and bottle of whisky, in the former
of which he sat and from the latter of
which he drank, 'bossing the job"
with the utmost fury and the liveliest
paroxysms of profanity till the sun
went down and the calm and deep
peace of complete intoxication de-
scended upon him and he fell from
his chair over the balcony, nearly
blptting out the executioner. who was
lounging around beneath, and render
ing almost useless the reprieve which
the next morning restored him to .
renewed lease of life and possible
new trial.

Any one investing in these Bonds, has the
satisfaction of knowing that his bonds is
certain to be paid at maturity; and further
that he assists in building in the City OF
New York a permanent Temple OF Indus
try, which will be an ornamentand pride
tOevery American.
Each Bond-holder, until his bond is re-
deemed, is part owner Oftwenty-twO acres
of land situated in the City of New York,
and estimated to be worth Two Million,
FOur Hundred Thousand Dollars. And the
building which is estimated to cost Seven
Millions.
The excavations for the foundation was
commenced on the Goth of May, 1875, and
the building will be ready to receive the
goods from the Centennial Exhibition ut
its close.
Noinvesfment for people of small means
was ever offered equaling the Bonds of the
industrial Exhibition Co. The bonds are
secured by n mortgage which makes the
principal safe, and eminently secure, and
in addition to which each bOnd-hOlder par
of premiums above named.
The difference between these bonds and a
lottery ticket is, in q lottery the holder
must lose his money or draw prize, while
the holder OF an Industrial Exhibition
Bond cannot lose his investment, but must
have returned to him the principal and a
small rate of interest added, and in addi-
ton, has an opportunity to draw q premium
ranging from $50 to 100000.

Reflections NJ to the RaG.Baby Stras.
| egists i'm Ohio.
Ohio ought to be satisfied now.
It is restless, be-deviled State.
and will have peace only when the
dead of Tuesday last shall have

spirits which feed on every politi-
cal mushroom that springs up from
the vapors of the noxious political
quagmires out that way. Pendleton
made the first covert reputation
dash in 1868, when he flung the
greenback question out to bait the
Democracy and capture its Nation
81 Convention. Thurman had just
won the Senatorship; he was stur-
Oily honest on finance, and the pay
ment of customs and bonds in
greenbacks was the Pendleton hal
ter for Thurman's neck and the
Pendleton stepping-stone to the
White House. The plausible theo-
ry of paying debts easily, by giving
new and irredeemable obligations,
ran well for a season, and disturbed
financial circles and capital; but the
Democratic National Convention
didn't swallow the bait and the in
vention failed. In 1869, Mr.. Pen
dleton was plucky enough to go in>
to public training for 1872 on his
favorite hobby, and he entered the
Gubernatorial contest against Gov
ernor Hayes, but was beaten some
5000. Thus did Ohio accept and
settle the first plunge of ambition
against National faith, and Pendle-
ton went to the rear. In the spring
of the present year Thurman had
to be headed off, for he was honest
and strong, and imitation was the
invention of Pendleton, Mclean,
Ewing and others to accomplish it.
Allen, the near relative of Thurman
and an old hard money Jacksonite,
was forced upon a platform of ILL
mitable and irredeemable currency,
as the panacea for prostrated in
dustry, and for a time it seemed
that it would sweep away old land
marks and triumph by many thous
ands. The Presidential bee also
began to buzz in his bonnet, and
Governor and Senator, uncle and
nephew, were estranged by con-
flicting ambition. The peculiar pc
sition of Ohio as pivotal State
compelled a desperate contest, and
as it was nationalized, the hopes of |
Allen, both for the present and for
the future, convinced him that he !
was the man of destiny for 1876.
But, as in 1869, in the Pendleton
crusade, Ohio has recoiled, and !
now the host of PRESIDENTIAL dreams |
which we're fitting as shadows upon |
each other have persisted, and with |
them the distempered theories that |
gave them Philadelphia

A ball in Marysville, CAL, waf

ten men to one woman; but the
women seemed to have made uI
vivacity what they lacked in num-

The Family Tceth-Said to be q +
StOry.


StOry.
A toothless couple in one of our
rural districts, concluded, after
much jaw, that they would gum it
no longer; that, in fact, the family
must be provided with q new set
of teeth. These worthy people
were not given to estentatious dis
play; they believed in having some
thing for rainy day; they also be-
ieved the doctrine that they twain
were one flesh; and since one pair
of spectacles, brasssbound, had long
suficed for their united eyes, why
should not one set of teeth work
equally as well9 Accordingly, those
aged mouths repaired to a neigh
boring dentist, and 10! the triumph

table ready for dinner. First, the
old lady picks up the teeth-they
are always lying about handy
slips them in and makes a good
use of her privileges while father is
laying up generous stock of pro-
visions on his plate. Presently he
leans back in his chair, puts down
his knife and fork and says, cheer
fully, "Come, mother, give me the
teeth Then the old lady, with
true conjugal alacrity, touching to
behold, catches them out, hands
them across the table to the old
gentleman, who dexterously claps
them in his own mouth, and the
family eating goes complacently on,
till, perhaps, mother comes to a
hard spot and demands the molars.
SO. back and forth, like a weaver's
shuttle, busily ply the teeth, till the

sWill not paper dollar buy

demagogue of his audience. Some
paper dollars will, and some will
not, buy food Our present dollar
will; but it buys less food than it
ought, and it will buy less and less,
the further it is removed from the
day of resumption. If the; Demo-
cratic doctrine of imitation is prac-
ticed, a dollars worth of food will
not satisfy the hungry man; for
expansion means depreciation in
value.
