HARDENING THE CONSTITUTION.

Men talk about hardening the consti-
tution," and with that view, expose
themselves TO summers sun and winters
wind, to strains and over efforts, and
many unnecessary hardships. To the
same end, ill-informed mothers douse
their little infants in cold water day by
day their skins and flesh and bodies as
steadily growing rougher and thinner, and
weaker, until slow fever, or water on the
brain, or consumption, carries them to
the grave; and then they administer to
themselves the semi-comfort and rather
questionable consolation of its being a
mysterious dispensation of nature, when
In fact, nature works no miracle to coun-
teract our folies. The best way we
know of hasdening the constitution Is to
take good care of it, for it is no more
improved by harsh treatment than fine
garment or now hat is made better by
being dandied about.

We could not give betterspecimen OF
the methods by which the Republicans
are seeing to carry this election than the
following able article taken bodily from
the Gazette:
"The Hon. George II. Pendleton, In
his Gallipolis speech, made this state
ment
"The various Issues of paper-bank
notes, greenbacks, certificates and other
notes-some bearing interest, others not,
but all serving as currency in one way or
another, either as circulation surplus,
reserve, or otherwise, in the year 1865
reached an enormous. sum, stated by
some authorities to be more than 81
l00000,000. The bonded debt of the
Government was then $1,000, 600 600,
The floating debt was 81 ,5O0,OOO,OOO The
totals were So, 000,000,O0O.' ,,o,,.l
it2" According to this statement the total
debt at that time-that is, in 1855 WAS
six thousand million dollars The total
debt on the l1st inst. was ,$2, ,l2z, 1893 49,
The Republican Administration. then,
according to Mr.. PendletCn, has in ten
years paid off nearly four thousand mil
lions Of the public debt. Mr.. Pendleton
did not intend to strengthen the Repub-
liCan party by the statement, but what
stronger testimony could.a friend, even,
bear to the integrity and ability of the
great party which suppressed the rebel
lion and thereby saved the life Of the ma
tionP Let the Republican party be con
,tinued in power, and let i maintain the
credit of the Government in the future
As it has in the past, and ten years hence
Mr.. Pendleton will bear testimony to its
ability as be does to-day" = =
Instead of saying that "the totals were
six thousand Millions Mr.. Pendleton
said that 'the taxes we're six hundred
millions" The Gdzette so printed this
portion of his speech on the day after its
delivery. Such q Misrepresentation is
inexcusable lying. But it is no worse
than the average Republican fashion OF
treating Mr.. Pendleton or Of conducting
a political contest. tt3

HAPPY HUSBANDS.-It is a mans own
fault if he is unhappy with his wife, in
nine cases out Of ten. 1t is a very Ok.
ceptional who will not be disa-
greeable if she finds herself wilfully neg
lected. 1t would be very easy to hate a
man who. having bound a woman to him,
made no effort to make her happy; hard
not to love one who was constant and ten
der: and when il woman loves she ALWAYS
strives to please.
The great men of this world have often
been wretched in their domestic relations,
while mean and common men have been
exceedingly happy. The reason is very
plain. Absorbed in themselves, those who
desire the worlds applause were careless
of the little world at home; while those
who had none of its egotism strove to keep
the hearts that were their own, and were
happy in their tenderness.
No woman will love a man the better
for being renowned or prominent. Though
he be first among men she will only be the
prouder, not fonder, and if she loses him
through this renown, as is often the case,
she will not even be proud. But give her
love, appreciation, kindness, and there is
no sacrifice she would not make for his
content and comfort. The man who loves
her we'll is her hero and her king. No less
a hero to her though he is not one to any
other; no less a king, though his only
kingdom is her heart and home.

! GRoWN-UP CHILDREN Nothing APP
pears to us SO beautiful in human expe-
rience as the reciprocal affection of par
ents and children, especially after the lat
ter have attained maturity, and, it may
be, form new relations in life. We have
seen the loving and lovely daughter, after
she had become a wife and mother, seize
every opportunity Of visiting the parental
home, to lavish her affectionate attention
upon her parents, AND, by a thousand
graceful and tender k~indnesses, assure
them that though she was an idolized wife
and a happy mother, her heart still cleaves
with every strengthening fervor to father
and mother, who watched over her infancy
and guided her youth. 1t has been Il
privilege to know such; and as we have
witnessed the %outpouring Of love and
happiness between these devoted and glow
ing hearts, we have felt that surely much
of heaven might be enjoyed here if all
families were equally attached. And
would that every daughter knew what
pure joy she might create in the parental
bosom by a constant keeping alive Of the
spirit of filial devotion, and selling fire.
quent opportunities to make it manifest
in little acts of g%entleness and love, not
w~ithstanding the child may have become a
parent. The child never grows old to a
fond parent. 1t is always the dear child,
and never so dear as when it keeps up the
childish confidence and love of it's earliest
wears.

ORIGIN OF THE WcRD"PRoTEsTANT."
The Emperor Charles the Fifth called a
Diet at Spires. in 1929, to request aid from
the German princes against the Turks,
and to devise means for allaying disputes
growing out of Luther's rebellion against
Catholicism. The Diet condemned the
Reformers and issued a decree in support
of the doctrines of the ancient church.
Against this decree six Lutheran princes
and the deputies of thirteen towns of the
Empire formally protested on the 18th Of
April, 1880. From this act the designa-
tion of Protestant, which then was given
to the followers of Luther, is derived. The
Calvinists were subsequently included, and
the title became general for all the sects
outside the original Christian church. The
six protesting princes were John and
George the electors of Saxony and Bran
denbnrg; Ernest and Francis, the two
Dukes of Lunenburg; the Landgrave Of
Hesse and the Prince of Anhalt.

Poetry.
AUTUMN.

The acorn slips to its messy tomb;
The beach-nut falls the wild black broom
Is creaking i'll the wood;
The vine, like some tired MRned lies
Thirsting for rain with weary eyes,,
Stained bv her own bright blood.
Soft mists ut times float down the hills
Before the wind that lightly fills
The purple gorge above;
And creep along the flood, the vale,
And die in sunlight fair and frail..
AS human life or love.
And darker shadows kiss the stars
And mount upon the shining bars
OF Summers waning light;
While gusts of mournful music break
From hollow winds that stir n shake
The sounding halls of night.
INDIAN SUMMER.
The maple leaves are thinning,
The branches showing bare,
And Indian Summers spinning
Her web in quiet air.
-<s- a
The warp is made of sunlight,
The wool is wrought of shade;
The shades grow ever darker,
The sunbeams ever fade.
The shadows gather quicker,
And darkness fingers long,
Till silent winter falletl,
And silent is my song.
The grass is browning on the hill;
No pale, belated flowers recall
The. astral fringes of the rills,
And drearily the dead vines fall,
Frost blackened, from the roadside wall.

GRUMBLERs.-Grumbling seems to be
natural to some people. They take to it
kindly, and keep at it all their lives. If
you were to believe them, they never haze q
fair chance. They never get their deserts.
Less deserving people are always more
highly favored than they.
This, of course, is the sheerest nonsense.
AS a rule, everybody gets what he actual.
ly works for, and pays the price for. The
man who prefers study and the gratifica-
ton Of his esthetical tastes to money
making. gets what he prefers; and the
man who would rather have money than
anything else, is pretty sure to accumulate
money. He may not get all the money he
wants; nor does the aesthetic student have
all the qualification Of his tastes that he
desires. But in the main, each of them
gets what he works for.
And this is the rule all through life, and
all through the world. You pay youl
money-or the price-and you take your
choice.
