Democratic party. Our special dispatches
published yesterday morning showed that
Mr.. Walker had counted without his host
Mr.. Camden, regarded as his strongest op'
ponent, was uncouditionally withdrawn,
nevertheless the crown of victory did not
descend upon the waiting brow Of Mr.
Walker. The opposition to his nomina-
tion has only been intensified; the very
gall Of bitterness has been stirred up in
the hearts Of his enemies, who are both
many and powerful.
For days our Market street nGighboF

tuous indignation arose almost to the

vain attempt to invest one OF two bold
aspiranta with the Senatorial purple.

reasons for pitching overheard tue men
who had proved themselves dead weight
on the party and wero fast becoming u
serious obstacle to all legislation. The
Senatorial struggle is essentially DEM

the Legislature are mere lookors-on' Day
after day they have witnessed the strug-
glO in the joint session, night after night
they have listened to the wrangling in

and fortunately they can contemplate the
farce with the utmost Indifference. The
unhappy jar in the Democratic family,
with it, attendant waste Of the peoples
money, Is in no way attributable to the
status OF the Republican members of the
Legislature with regard to the prominent
candidates put forward for Senatorial
honors, They stand ready to givc their
best efforts to the legitimate business
which they were elected to transact in the
interest Of the whole people.

What IL an Old Maid:

Never be afraid of becoming an old
maid. An old maid is far more hon
cradle than heartless wife; and 'sinele
blessedaess" is greatly superior. in point
of happiness, to welded life without love,
Fall not in love, dear girls-beware!"
says the song. But we do not agree with
the said song on this question. On the
contrary, we hold that it is good thing
to fall in love, or get in love, if the object
be a worthy one. To fall in love with an
honorable man is as proper as it is for an
honorable man to fall in love with yir-
tuous and amiable woman; and what
would be a more gratifying spectacle than
a sight so pure, so approaching in its de-
votion to the celestial? No; fall in love
as soon as you like, provided it be with a
suitable person. Fall in love and then
marry; but never marry unless you do
love. That's the great point. Never
marry for "home" or "husband. ,
Never degrade yourself by becoming a
party to such an alliance. Never sell
yourself. body and soul, on terms so con-
temptible. Love dignifies all things; it
ennobles all conditions. With love, the
marriage rite is truly sacrament.
Without it, the ceremony is base fraud,
and the act human desecration. Marry
for love, or not at all. Be 'an old maid, ("
if fortune throws not in your way the man
of your heart and, though the witless may
sneer and the jester may laugh, you still
have your reward in an approving con-
science and a comparatively peaceful life

is also used in Isaiah, xxx, 9; Ii, 81; .
Sam, ri, Is, and Sam. j. IA. Another
Hebrew word (chemer) for wine is found
in Isaiah, xvii, 2. 1t is from the root
chdmar, which means'to ferment, to foam."
By the laws of transliteration known to
students of Semetic philology, the Hebrew
word ehemer should appear as khamro in
Syriac, and as Mamrat in Arabic. In ex-
aiming the Peshito version of the New
Testament (Syriac), the language which
Jesus spoke, find khamro for wine in the
expression "the water. that was made
wine," of John ii, 9 (n,ayo honu, dahrau
MamrO) In the Arabic of the same verse
,oiine is rendered by khamran, which is the
accusative of Aamrat, from the common,
everyday Arabic root ktamara, to ferment
(Lmata Emutaha'owala khamran). Even
in the English New Testament (Ephes-
ians, V, lS) we are thus exhorted: "Be not
drunk with wine" (me methuskesthe oino)
where methuSko means not "tipsiness"
but profound drunkenness. Our words
dead drunk" express its exact sense; less
elegantly, to be sure, but not more vigor-
ously.
The English word ,cine is a derivative
Of an old Aryan root which has its coun-
terpart in every Indo-European language,
from the Persian mai to the Gadhelic fon
1t expresses inordinate exhilaration, and
gives rise, by the common reference of eff
feet to cause, 10 the substantial form.
This is not an attack on the cause Of
temperance. Its true defenders are those
who seek to extend its influence by appeal
ing to the reason of man, and not to his
ignorance or prejudice. If those who diff
fer from others in regard to the methods
OF presenting its claims to the considera>
ton Of mankind are to be relocated to the
rank of har-keepers and open advocates of
wine-drinking, they may not be sorry to
know what one of the fathers ofthe church
and one OF the lights of the reformation
though: of the first miracle of Jesus at
Cana of Galilee. St Augustine says that
Christ made such wine as a drunken
guest would praise" tale cin',n,, q,.od ebrius

at results from our vicious nature, if this
liberal kindness leads to RIGHTEOUSNESS;
nay, rather, it is a genuine proof of our
temperance, when in the midst of abun-
dance we are sparing and temperate. -
