IFIH HAD BifT A LITTLE sALf.

Once upon time, lady whom we knew;
finding beggar at her door gave him i meal
of coffee, meat, and bread and butter which
he sat down in the area to eat A moment
afterwards, however, he raped beseechingly
at the door again, and ON its being opened,
remarked, with his hand upon his heart I:
eff had but little salt should be per-
fectly happy
OF course lie got the salt. He was niorS
easily made happy than most PEOPLE.
Human nature is always sitting down to
some bountiful meal OF other with the same
remark. 1t would be happy If it had but a
little salt, which, alas is not always forth
coming.
Youth would be glad to be Youth If it only
had the salt of wealth. Wealth would rejoice
could youth return to add SAVIOR to it.
Love could 60 gforiously into its earthly
paradise on so much a year. So much a year
would know what bliss means had it but
love.
The childless mother looks from her great
plate-glass window, and envies the poor wo-
man with the baby wagon. The poor woman
wishes for the house with the plate--glass
windows to keep the baby in.
The great, ruddy farmer, pines because he
has won no fame or position. The famous
man longs for tie lusty frame Of the farmeA
Yes, the grain of sslt is wanting every
| where.
The salt Of content, without which life's
banquet has no taste, seems the hardest OF
things to come at. Even children do not H.
ways have it. Even the baby that has not
learned to speak leaves his rattle and his ball.
or even his mothers bosom, and stretching
out his hands towards nothing, expresses by
his tiny wall the universal wall for little
salt with which to SAVIOR this existence

An editor Of a weekly paper, published in
little village in Missouri, called at the White
House, and was admitted to Mr.. Lincoln's
presence. He told Mr.. Lincoln that he was
the man who first suggested his name for the
Presidency, and pulling from his pocket an
old, worn, defaced copy Of his paper cxhib-
tied an item on the subject. "Do 70 really
think" said Mr.. Lincoln, that announces
ment was the occasion of my nomination !? Z"
-" Certainly, said the editor" The sugges-
tioh was SO opportune that 1t was at once TAX
en- up by other papers, and the result was
your nomination and election"
"Ah well, said Mr. Lincoln with sigh,
and assuming rather gloomy eotintenance,
II am glad to see you and know this, but
you will have to excuse me am just going
to the War Department to see Mr.. Stanton"
.sWell, said the editor, will walk over
with YOU"
The Presidents with that apt good natiirs
SO characteristic to him, took up his hat and
said "Come along"
When they reached the door of the Secre-
tary's office, Mr.. Lincoln turned to his COM
panion and said, 81 shall have to see Mr..
Stanton alone, and you must excuse me, " and
taking him by the hand he continued, Good
by / hope You win feel perfectly easy about
having nominated me don't be troubled
about 1t, forgive you.'

REPRODUCING OLD THOUGHTS. Nothing
is more strange than the reproduction of old
thoughts under the guise of new and adyanc-
ed opinions. 1t would seem as if the human
mind, with all its restless activity, were des-
tined to revolve in an endless circle. It's pro-
gress is marked by many changes and discov-
cries. it sees and understands far more clear
ly the facts that lie along the line of its route
and the modes or laws under which those
facts occur but this route in its higher levels
always returns upon itself Nature and all
its secrets become better known, and the pow
ers of nature are brought now more under
human control but the sources of nature
and life and thought--all the ultimate prob
lens of being---never became more clearly in
telligible. Not only so but the last efforts of
human reasoning on these subjects are even
as the first. Differing in form, they are in
substance the same Bold as the course of
scientific adventure has seemed for time, it
ends very much as it began the men Of the
nineteenth century looked over the same
abysses of speculation as did their forefathers
thousands Of years before. No philosophy of
theism can be said to have advanced beyond
the book of Job Professor Tyndall, address
ing the world from the throne of modern
science--wlich the chair of the British Asso-
citation ought to be-repeats the thoughts of
De,nocritus and Epicurus, as the last guesses
of the modern scientific mind. Blackwood.

HuMoR AND SARcAsM.--lt is not everybody
who knows where to joke, or when, or how
and whoever is ignorant of these conditions
had better not joke at all. A gentleman never
attempts to be humorous at the expense of
people with whom he is but slightly acquaint-

wise policy to joke at anybody's expense
that is to say, to make anybody uncomfortable
merely to raise laugh. Old Esop who was

among things undesired. The force Of events
had not yet quite compelled men to declare
their views aud fix their adherence. The re-
suit of the petitions to the king and other
memorials was not for some time yet to be
known. The loyalists were confident and
defiant--the men on the popular side were
resolved, but could hardly be hopeful. The
month of January saw, however, delegates
from several provinces appointed to the next
Congress, to be held in June. Pennsylvania
had already appointed her delegates in De-
cember. In Virginia the well-earned military
reputation and high social position of Colonel
George Washington, then in the forty-third
year of his age, caused all eyes to be turned
to him as a man for that hour. He was
elected TO the Provincial convention, and was
q recognized leader in his own country He
presided, in January, at a meeting in Fairfax,
at which series of resolutions were adopted,
recommending the forming of military COM
panies, to be Differed by men of their own Sc
lection, thus establishing another source of
military power than the British Government
or its colonial agents. In itself this was an
important and Revolutionary measure. The
resolutions of the meeting signed and pub
lished by Washington as Chairman, were in
substance the same that had been previously
adopted in Maryland. But the name Of
Washington gave them weight and influence.
He was frequently called upon to review the
companies which had organized themselves.
Mount Vernon beganto wear the appearance of
military headquarters, and was frequently
visited by Washingtons former companions
in the camp.
Thus opened the year 1775. If the next
year is as memorable as that from which the
Declaration of Independence dates IT'S is no
less so, for the "logic of events - which COM
PEELED the adoption of that instrument. The
preparations for it had unconsciousy, how
ever been proceeding for mdny long years be-
fore. Never were colonies less dependent on
the mother country for aid and protection
than the British-American Colonies had BEEN
They were in the fullest sense fellow-subjects
with the residents at home, bearing their full
share of the burdens of the empire, defending
themselves both from their Indian enemies
and from the attacks which were provoked
upon the British Colonies by European
quarres. The colonists as they bore the full
burden, demanded the full privileges Of u
component part of the British Empire. 1t
was the failure to recognize these rights and
the mistaken obstinacy of a Ministry which
aimed to treat the Americans as not possessed
of the same immunities as Englishmen, which
led to the Revolution 1776-S3.--Frons The

A uRATEFUL HEART.
BY CELIA ruAxrER.

Last night stole away alone, to find
A mellow crescent settling DER the sea;
Aud fingered in its light, while
Blew htfully the grievny autumn wind.
And somewhat sadly to myself said
summer is gone," and watched how bright aud fast
Through the moons track the little waves sped past
Summer is gone her golden days are dead"
Respectfully thought, !" Since have trod
Eartl's way with willing reluctant feet,
Never did season bring nue. days more sweet,
Crowned with rare joys and priceless gifts from God
And they gomez they will return MORE"
The slender moon went down all red and still
The stars shone clear, the silent dews fell chill;
The waves with ceaseess murmur washed the shore.
A low voice spake, And wherefore art thou sad
Here in thy heart all folded, summer lies,
And smiles in sunshine though the sweet time dies
'Tis thine to keep forever fresh and glad"
YEA gentle Voice, though the fair days depart,
And skies grow cold above the restless sea,
Gods gifts nieasureless. and there shall be
Eternal summer in the grateful heart.

1 STATE DINNERS -lsr -rtIa WHITE HOUSE,
The Washington correspondent Of the Cincin-
natl Gazette says, in writing of State dinners
at the White House A gentleman bearing
the fortunate name of Luckey has the delicate
task of arranging the guests, so that they
may not do injustice to the occasion by feeling
themselves improperly placed at the table,
After the acceptance from the invited guests
have been received (and you know Presi-
dents initiation must always be accepted UNI
less death bed prevents ride Mrs. Dahlgren
Etiquette } Mr.. Luckey consults the Blue
Book as to the rank and title of each one,
and, after satisfactory investigation, draws
diagram of the table, with the places each
guest is to occupy at the forthcoming FEAST
Then.a bill Of fare, with the happy individu-
ais name attached, is placed at each respect
i've place, and an envelop containing two
cards, one with a lady's name, and the other
with that of the gentleman who is to escort
her to and from the table, is handed the prop
er gentleman on his arrival. The President
is expected to give them from time to time,
until every Senator, Congressman, and for
eign official has been duly honored. These
dinners average about $500 apiece, and are
quite long, ceremonious, and not particularly
agreeable affairs, but then the honor of being
invited puts all dscomforts at a discount The
table is loaded with flowers, and exquisite
bouquets decorate every plate. All the silver
at command is wisely set for show"

The Dead Democracy.

The day after the assembling of the
Ohio Democratic Convention at CO.
lumbus the following article appeared
in the Cincinnati Commercial, the
leading independent journal of the
West: =s.5..s
There is no national Democratic
party to-day. In the great Middle
and Eastern States there is no tolera-
ton for the doctrines proclaimed at
Columbus, and there is not the SYM
tom of aparty to support them. Why,
iii New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and all the New England
States, the first care of the organs and
orators Of the Democratic party has
been to prove that good Democrats
could not entertain such principles as
were Enthusiastically proclaimed at CO.
lumbus yesterday; and the platforms
OF the Cleveland and Mansfield De-
paacracy displayed the sentiments of
important masses Of citizens in Ohio
who have been accustomed to call
themselves Democrats. The Demo-
cratic party is denationalized. So
much for the presidential ambition of
William Allen, and the inappeasable
hunger for any place in public view
OF General Cary.
The victorious career of the Demo-
cratic party, coatiaued for more than
a year, aud which until yesterday
warranted anticipation of the possess
sion Of all the high places in the ma
ton as fast as the popular verdict
could be pronounced, stop here. The
party that would deliberately reduce
the finances Of the United States. after
ten years Of peace and prosperity, to
the level of those Of the Southern Con-
federacy in the last year Of the war
can hot prevail in Ohio; and after
the October election Governor Allen
must look to Fruit Hill and the nat
ural science for consolation, while
General Carey may utilize his abound
ing energies in his silver mine in prac.
teal preparations for the resumption
'of specie payments.
