Reverdy johnson does not refuse case
because he is seventy-nine. Andrew john
son at sixty-seven will make things lively
for Grant in the Senate Thurlow Weed. at
seventy-cight, has not made up his mind yet
that there is any shrewdeT party manager
than he Emerson has no idea of giving up
study or writing at seventy-two; and Bryant
at eighty is always on hand to preside at a
public meeting or make a speech to a Legis-
lature. Longtelow's sixty-eight years do
not seem to have broken him down in fact,
his work is at least as good now as il ever
was; and the same may be said Of Whittier
at the same age, and Oliver Wendell Holmes
at but two years younger DR.. ]. w. Draper
does not consider his lifes work half done
at sixty-four; and Prof Joseph Henry,
President of the Smithsonian Institution,
has not given up investigation at seventy
eight. Thomas Carlyle has fretted through
eighty years. and the world seems to him no
more out of joint now than it did q quarter
of century ago. DR.. Delafield died the
other day in New York at eighty, and it is
the doctors of gray heads and full years who
are the busiest there. In truth, the idea of
mems wearing out faster than they used to
is delusion founded on small observation
of facts, and an unscientific method of rea-
soning.

An intimate political friend of Andrew
Jackson, formerly President of the United
States, vouches for the following:-"Jackson
never spoke an impatient word TO his wife,
servant or child and under his own roof
proved himself the gentest and tenderest of
men. There were two Jacksons,' quantity
writes biographer, jackson militant and
Jackson triumphant, Jackson crossed, and
Jackson having his own way; Jackson's
mastership unquestioned and Jackson u
rival near the throne lie had loved his
mother living, and all his remaining life
revered her dead. lie loved children, and
they loved him he loved horses he ought
to have loved plants and flowers; he must
have loved pets-every true man and woman
does love them. Before a blazing fire, on
raw and stormy night in February, with
child on his lap, and lamb between his
knees, Denten found and announced to him
his first hope for military fame and glory.
But foremost among the mlder, yet nobler.
of his characteristics, was his delicate chiv-
arous, absolute faith in the virtue of women.
In this said one of the earliest and most
intimate of his friends, he was distinguish.
able from every other person with whom |
was acquainted And said Benton, 'it was
innate, unvarying self-acting, including all
womankind' Very rare and very exalted
is this faith. Want of this is the beginning
of immortality. There is no public, and
there cannot long be any private virtue
where it docs not exist.

BUYING ELECTIoNs.-The supplying of
electors in England with food and drink
seems to be accepted as regular mode OF
conducting elections in that country. The
'Pall Mall Gazette" has published returns
of election charges incurred by candidates
at the late general election in Great Britain,
from which it appears that thirty-twc sue
cessful candidates expended S5S2, $50, or
SlS,225 each on an average Their seats
were contested by thirty-one successful can
ddates, who spent in the heaggregate S279, 9,495,
or only 90l5 each. From this it appears
thata a,general rule the unsuccessful candi.
dates spent more money than those who were
defeated. 1t must be remembered, howev.
er, that no part of these sums is supposed to
be spent in bribery or corruption of any
kind, The voters are reached through tn,
medium of brass bands, banquets and drink
ing parties, which inspire them with patriotic
ieryor, and probably are not look upon as 81
purely mercantile method of obtaining vo
tes as paying cash in hand, What etiec
this style of money "making the mare go
in the way of electing representatives in FIRE
governments has upon those in absolute NOR
arches, whose interest it is to oppose libera
institutions, we are not informed.

Confidence is everything between husband
and wife; and woman who loves, desires
above everything to be trusted. She would
not be glad when he is sad She would not
be ignorant of his troubles or his anxieties.
Anything is better to her than to be shut out
out from the innermost of the life of one who
should be all hers as she is all his. Wom en-
generally are averse to keeping things to
themselves, and ahusband is often overdosed
with confidence; but many really aitectlo n
ate men lead, as far as their wives are con-
cerned. double life. OF that which is not
domestic they think it right to say nothing
Some grieyous troubles may be upon them
dread of failure certainty of loss, rumors
of some mistake which has plunged them
into anxiety; and they make no sign Of ii
save by change of manner, which to the
women who are ignorant that they have any
cares, is incomprehensible.
The wife would gladly be sympathetic
but when frowning brow, silence, and thu
lack of usual caresses, are all the tokens tina
she has of her lege lords trouble, all he
boosted intuition cannot keep her from fly
ing to the conclusion, that as personalm
ter-that she is no longer loved or that h
loves some one else. And believe muc
domestic misery has been caused in the tir'
place by the mans secretiyencss when h
had no secrets which might not have hee
shared by his wife.
You may say, why should he talk to on
who cannot understand or give counsel, to
being with such vague ideas of stocks an
banking, and speculation, and she can onl
wonder why things have gone wrong? Wei
there are many reasons the woman wi
holds him dear will give him more sympatf
than any other living being, for one thinl
and he needs sympathy whether he knows
or not. And then she has her rights, for 81
| is partner in firm of two, and the boo
should not be closed to her. She is mate
the vessel in which he is captain, and sure
should know what shoas are near; al
| moreover, if you love her, you do not wa
5 to make her miserable. Trust her.

Never give way to melancholy Resist it
steadily, for the habit will encroach. l once
gave lady two and twenty receipts against
melancholy; one was bright fire; another
to remember all pleasant things said to her; /;
another to keep box of plums on the man
tle-piece, and a kettle simmering on the hob.
| thought this mere triiling at the moment,
but have in after life discovered how true it
is that those little pleasures often Danish
melancholy better than higher and more
exalted objects; and that no means ought to
be thought too tritling which can oppose it

The Reading Eagle says 1t will be recOl-
lected that DR.. B. Mishler erected in Lam
caster city two-story brick house in ten
hours and three-story brick house in nine
teen hours. He now proposes to build on
the Centennial grounds in Philadelphia,
next summer, a two-story brick house "a by
40 feet, in eight hours! He has arranged
with Capt. Geisinger, of Reading, for the
furnishing of the cornice and door and win
dow caps, which will be of galvanized iron.
The Captain will be allowed half an hour in
which to put up the cornice, though he
thinks he can do it in a quarter of an hour.

POetical.
TO FRIEND AND FOES.

When meath the cold secluded earth
They lay this weary, aching head,
Let no proud tombstone tell my birth
Nor mock the memory OF the dead;
But on the mound roSe-tree rear,
While II expands from day TO day,
Or fades with each succeeding year,
And wastes its bloom and strength away;
Twill truly speak Of him who's gone,
And wrought for fame from early youth,
But cared not for flatterng stone
10 blazon forth the humble truth.
When twilight gathers in the sky,
Let these who wronged me then draw near;
And as they pass the sleeper by,
Drop DER him one atOning tear;
Let them forgive the fOllies there
or him whose form lies cold and STILL
And let his faults their pity share,
Who neer ON purpose did them Ill.
Why should they hate the form laid low?
They cannot hurt the lifeless clay;
And those who treat me cUldly now,
Then may their cOldness pass away.
Their faith ami full belief to share
I'D SJUrl1 e all wealth, all fame;
For ali / ~ u foes to spare
To me 4, bu: an upright name!
And ma, no nj one waste tear
When . ,Siug by my wakeleSS bed,
II wa, Tcd when dwelling here,
Ne'er Tn N regret me when I'm dead
IT'S heaven bias the spirit flee,
Then never mourn when am gone;
But should their tears be shed for me,
May they be sincere tears--or none.

He HAS READ THE PAPERS. s.---The other
evening when father boxed the ears of his
son as a punishment for impudence, the lad
stood before him and remarked: "See here,
father, was reading this morning that the
drum of the ear is one of the most sensitive
things in the human system. \ sudden blow
upon the ear is liable to produce deafness,
and the practice of cutting children cannot
be too severely censured. 1t is but a relict
Of that dark period when a man with a
| wart on his nose was put to death as a sor-
cerer."
