OF the approach Of q foe. The
guard changes, but is always one
ofthe old dogs. He remains up

are playing or feeding and sounds
his note Of warning by the utter
ance of a succession Of rapid hanks
or squeaks. At the first sound the
others Immediately scamper like
mice down their holes, where they
remain until the barking ceases,
when they timidly venture forth
again. Having habitnally fed
them they regard me as a constant
friend, and my approach Is the
signal for the rallying OF their for
ces around my feet. They climb
in my lap, on my shoulder, impu-

them ,ome ginger snaps, which
they ate eagerly at first. but were

Labor n Prom oter OF Ion
gevity.

1t is wonderful to what an ex.
tent people believe happiness de-
ponds upon hot being obliged to
labor. Honesty, hearty, content
ed labor is the only source Of hap
piness, as well as the only guar
antee OF life. The gloom Of mis-
antropy is not only a great des-
tr0yer of happiness we might have
but 1t tends To destroy lie itself.
Idleness and luxury induces pre-
mature decay much faster than
many trades regarded as the mos
exhaustive and fatal to longevity.
Labor In general, instead Of short
ening the term of life, it actually
increases it. IL is the lack of occu-
patton that annually destroys so
many of the wealthy, who have
nothing to do, play the part of
drones, and like them make a
speedy exit, while the busy bee
fills out it's day In usefulness and
honor.

ssLord! Won't They be Sur
nrfHAd.

The following story was told by
General Slocum in 4 speech 10 the
Independent Democratic Com Unit
tee In Brooklyn just after the late
elcction:
A few months after I was sent
West during the late war, l met
one Of the most accomplished Gen.
erals VINO ever wore the American
uniform--I refer TO Gen. McPher-
son. We had been at West Point
together, and this was our first
meeting since we had left the
academy, In talking over the
scenes through which we had
passed since we parted at Wes
Point e0ur conversation turned
upon the battle of Pittsburg Land
ing, whore Mcpherson acted a,
Chief of STAFF to General Grant
Mcpherson described to me the
disaster Of the first day Of the grea'
battle--of how he had been COM
PEELED from hour to hour during
tho whole day to be the bearer OF
bad news to his chief. 1t was u
succession of revCrses from morn
Ing till night. When night came
on and II was becoming too dark
for the enemy TO continue the
fight, Mcpherson rode up to Grant
who coolly said to him, "Well
Mac, how do things look?" bad
enough, General. We have lost,
I think, about one-half our artil-
lery and 81 least a-third Of our in
fantry. Our line is broken In sew
eral places, and we are pushed
back, as you see, pretty near the
bank of the river" Grant made
no reply, and Mcpherson, becom-
ing q little impatient, finally said
TO him, "Well, General, under
these circumstances, what do you
intend to dor" "Do! Why l shall
reform the lines and attack them
at daybreak. Lord! won't they be
surprised. Grant executed his
plan to letter, and before nin1
O'Clock next morning the enemy
was flying in every direction.
Whatever may be mans occu-
patton. IL he meets with disaster,
/ know of no better motto Tor him
to adopt than the words of Gen.
Grant: "Reform the lines and at
tac.. them again at daybreak.'

The situation Is, 1 think, per-
fectly conprehended by the prom
inent Democrats here, There is
very little talk now of the House
insisting on the power of throw
ing out the returns from LOuisi-
ana and Florida if they come in
for Hayes. and none OF that body
absenting itself from the February
joint convention. If defeated Is
will be the policy OF the demo-
Gratis to get all the evidence they
can OF fraud-not to resist the in
auguration Of Hayes. but to
strengthen their party ! the coun-
try, and destroy the influence OF
his administration.
Let US, therefore, possess our
souls In peace. The country ID not
going to the "demnition bow
vows" although there may be
plenty of croaking Mantilinis who
think 30. We shall buy and sell,
eat and drink marry and die about
the same as before, no matter who
gets the right to appoint post
masters aud Custom House OH
GERS. We have had enough war
to satisfy this generation, and are
not going to take each other by
the threats again just yet. There
is no great moral question at stake
like that Of the integrity OF the
nation or the preparation of sla-
very as In 1861, and we shall not
initiate the Mexicans and COM
mence shooting our fellow-citiz.ns
to get possession Of the Office.
Thank God, we have too much
sense and civilization for that.

What Advantages
HAS THE
HOWE MACHINE
OVER OTHERS?

FIRST.-The public know it to be dur
able. 1t will last q life time.
SECOND.-It contains the material for
its own repairs.
THIRD.-It has less wearing points than
any other.
FOURTH.-It draws up stitch rs you
do by hand; others do not.
FIFTH.-You have perfect control over
both threads others have not.
SIXTH.-It gives off thread in proper
ton to the thickness of the fabric sewed,
thereby avoiding slow motion over seams,
dropping stitches and breaking of needles
"a great objection to all other machines.
SEVENTH.-It sews a tight seam in
cashmere, burying the thread on either
side, and then tissue paper without
change of tension.
EIGHTH.-The presscr foot is eaisly
swung out Of the way when you set a nee
die or put under work. 1t is not so with
any other.
NINTH.-In range of work this machine
cannot be equaled. Will work equally
well on thick or thin goods from gauze to
heaviest beaver coatings, or even leather
without change OF needle, tension or thread.
We will warrant them to do this. Our
fine work is equal to any and our heavy
work excels that of any other machine in
the world.
TENTH.-P Persons who have tried all
machines are unanimous in declaring this
to be the EASIEST LEARNED Machine
the market. In the majority of cases our
customers learn from the instruction book
without further aid.
What we claim, in substance, is that
this is an honest machine, and if put in
your family will do any and all of your
work perfectly, is q willing and ready SER
want, and is not subject to fits.
