PennsyIvnnia.

TUESDAYS vote makes ii plain that Penn
sylvania can be reckoned rs a Republican
state only by the peculiar methods of the
kEMnLE arithmetic. Outside of Philade-
pima, TILDEN has u majority of from four
to six thousand. This is overcome in the
city by the VIGOROUSLY fraudulent prac-
tees of the Republican Ring, which con-
trolls the machinery of registration. aud
has access to the interior of the ballot box
through channels that are not specified ia
| the Constitution.
IL any proof were wanting of the auda-
| city of these successful rascals ana the
enormity Of their operations II would APP
pear by comparison OF Phladelphia's
registration aud vote with New York's.
In Philadelphia the registration was 1876
600 and in this city about $4,000. The
| total vote of New York was within four
teen thousand of the registration. In
Philadelphia the vote fell behind the regis
| tration by almost fifty thousand. In other
words. the disciples of BILL KEMBLE, by
| placing the registration ut the preposter-
Gus figures just given, prepared themselves
To overcome, by ballot box stuffing aud

so perfect is the system Of fraud by
which thousands and thousands of bogus
votes are registered and counted III Phila-
dclphia atevery election, state. local, or ma
uoual, and SO smoothly aud quietly does the
work proceed, that the country has ceased

France, as every one well knows is pre-
eminently the land of fine linen. From a
cbilds pinafore to Cardinals surplice
every article Of wearing apparel that linen

greatest care and elaboration; and few
English women quit French territory
wit hout providing themselves with choice

70 beat an antagonist, and win medal
or purse, is a vulgar and sordid induce
ment TO study, and convlcts the school that
resorts 10 it of ine6leieney in its legitimate
and most essential work. 1t is, moreover,
an injurious agency in education, as it is
constantly used TO stimulate students in
false directions, aud to excessive cultiva-
tion of unimportaut subjects. The waste Of
time and effort over comparatively worth
less studies is sometimes quite appalling,
and it is everywhere aggravated by plying
scholars with premiums on special attain
ments. Rich blockheads, with narrow no.
tions and tenacious crotchets, smitten with
the vanity of becoming public beneiac-
tors, 60 into the schools and found prizes
and medals which set the students TO rae
ing in any direction which the whim or ca
price of the donor may indicate. This evil
is confessed, and has become so glaring
that some institutions have wisely put a
stop to such interference. But, as it is
driven from the schools, it is taken up by
outsiders, as we have seen in the intercol-
legate contests that have lately come into
vogue.-I'rof. Y0uHldnS in The Popular

Miscellany.


You and Il.
There are beneath the skies two loving hearts
That cling unto each other true and warm
There are beneath the skies two honest hands
That grasp each other tight thro calm and storm.
There are two pairs Of eyes-one brown, one blue
That smile out at each other soft and kind;
The blue belong to me, the brown to you,
And sweeter eyes, know, one could not find
There are two pairs OF lips, both red and bright
Sometimes they meet when no one else is by;
And then two rounded cheeks glow like the light
OF sunset on the rosy western sky.
Sometimes the lips that are half hid from view
Go wandering till they reach shell-like ear;
And then, my darling-either or you
Flush like the rose at the sweet words we hear
We know, my True-Heart, whom we mean when we
Thus rhyme OF lips and eyes. Of hearts and hands
You know my very soul is given to thee,
And hold thee in loves dear lettering bands.
We feel the joy Of knowing something more;
That while we live. the love so quickly grown
Is still so deep-it constantly may pour
Its bounties out and yet feel lack Of none.
We know that life is sad and years arc long,
And hopeful harvests blacken in the sun;
Butlove, we know, shall ever grow more strong
And we, when years are ended, shall be one.
Then, dearest, look thou onward, upward, far
Int the azure Of yon peaceful sky;
See the bright promise Of that golden star
'Tis whispering 1--WE" instead Of "You and l."

A WIFE's PowER.-A good wife is 10
man, wisdom, strength and courage; a bad
one is confusion, weakness and despair.
No condition is hopeless TO a man where
the wife possesses firmness, decision and
economy. There is no outward proprety
whi ch can counieract Incidence, extrava-
gance and folly at home. No spirit can
long endure bad influence. Man is strong I;
but his heart is not adamant. He needs a
tranquil mind; and especially if he is an
intelligent man, with whole head, he
needs its moral force in the conflict of life.
To recover his composure, home must be
place of peace and comfort. There his soul
renews its strength, and goes forth with re-
newed vigor to encounter the labor and
troubles of life. But if at home he finds no
rest, and there is met with bad temper,
jealousy and gloom, or assailed with COM
plants and consure, hope vanishes, and he
sinks into despair.
