Both Candidates Men of
Good Character.

The Republican and Democratic
candidates are both men of good
personal character; and moreover
the third candidates, Mr.. Peter
Cooper-a gentleman of mature
age and faculties-must be inclu-
ded in the same category as an
entirely respectable man. His
ground bone might be rather
better as a fertilizer if the glue
were not extracted from it, but
then we do not suppose it would
be as good for him.
We regard all attempts to show
that Mr.. Tilden or Mr.. Hayes is
not possessed of what is ordinarily
considered a good personal char
acter, as labor thrown away. The
men are good enough both ofthem
There is no proper place or room
for personal abuse and vitupera-
ton in the campaign. The battle
is to be fought, and to be won by
one side or the other, on principle;
and it is fortunate that this is so.

The mercantile agency of Messrs.
r. G.. Dun & Co, have issued their
quarterly ciruular, containing the
business statistics for the United
States. The number of failures for
the first six months of this year
was 1860 representing $107, 600, 900
against 1868 in 1875, representing
S76, 900. Much the larger portion
of the increase shown was in the
first three months of the year,
which fact furnishes ground for
hope that the season of greatest
peril to commercial stability has
passed, and that the promotion
will lesson as the year goes on.

The Example of WashingtOm

Washington, as / understand
him, was gifted with nothing or
dinarily defined as genius, and he
had not had great advantages of
education. His intellectual pow
ers were clear, but not much above
the average men of his time.
What knowledge he possessed had
been gained from association with
others in his long public career,
rather than by secluded study.
AS an actor he scarcely distinguish
ed himself by more than one brill
liant stroke; as a writer, the great
er part of his correspondence dis
closes nothing more than average
natural good sense, and on the
field of battle his powers pale
before the splendid strategy OF Ma
poleon BonapartO. Yet, notwith-
standing all these deductions, the
thread of his life from youth to
age displays a maturity of judg-
ment, a consistency of principle,
a steadiness of action, a discrimi-
mating wisdom and a purity of
puTIiUoc ldtuly AOuiiu uuitSo w
the same extent in any other in
stance l can recall in history. OF,
his entire disinterestedness in his
pecuniary relations with the put
lie it is needless for me to speak.
More than all and above all, he
was always master of himself
Had Napoleon copied the example
of Washington, he would have
been the idol of all later genera
tons in France. For Washington
to have copied the example of Ma
poleon would have been simply
impossible. Let US then, discard
ing all inferior strife, hold up to
our children the example of Wash
ington as the symbol, not merely
of wisdom, but of purity and truth.
Lei us labor continually to keep
the advance in civilization, as 1t
becomes us to do after the strug-
giles of the past, so that the rights
to life, 10 liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, which we naVu hoo
orably secured, may be- firmly
entailcl upon the eVer-enlaraing
g~eHerafion- nf mankind.

THE OLD FRIENDS.

Where are they scattered now,
The old, old friends
One made her dwelling where the ma
pies glow,
And mighty streams through solemn
forests flow,
But never from the pine-crowned land
of snow
A message sends.
Some meet me oft amid
Life's common ways;
And then, perchance; a word or smile
declares
That warm hearts throb beneath their
load of cares;
For love grows on, like wheat among
the tares,
Till harvest days.
"But some are fall'n' asleep!'
The words are sweet
Oh, friends at rest, beneath the blessed
sod,
My feet still tread the weary road ye
trod,
Ere yet your loving souls went back to
God!
When shall we meet?
Oh, thou divinest Friend,
When shall it be
That / may know them in their garments
white ?
And see them with a new and clearer
sight,
MiIe old familiar friends-made fair and
bright,
Like unto Thee !!

A Frog Barometer.

Out at the Lafayette Park police
station they have q weather proph-
ct which eclipses Tice and all the
barometers ip the neighborhood.
1t is a frog of the genus Hyla,
more familiar to the general reader
as the tree-toad. Hont, the super
intendent of the Park, was mildly
abusing his barometer one day for
misleading him, when the officer
on the beat, an old frontiersman,
said he would show him a trick.
He took a glass jar and threw into
it some stones and a couple of
inches of water. Then he whitfield
out a little wooden ladder and put
it in the jar. After some lively
scrambling a tree-toad was caught
chucked in, and q tin top screwed
on. When it was to be fair wealth
err that toad roosts on the top
round of the ladder solemnly
blinking the hours away. From
twelve to fifteen hours before a
change to bad weather, "the gen.
eral," as they call him, begins to
climb down, and hours before a
storm sets in he squats himself on
a stone, and, with his head just
above the surface of the water,
peers aloft at the coming storm.
Let the weather he changeabla
and shifting as 'Old Prob says,
the toadgoes up and down that
ladder like a scared MILDLY. When
it is fair and the toad roosts aloft
his skin is of a light grayish green
When the change comes the skin
turns black as the toad goes down
the ladder, becoming a jet, shining
black by the time he reaches the
bottom. The fame of the toad has
spread through the Lafayette
Park neighborhood.-S Louis
Times.

Fake Counsel with Yourself

Young men connot estimate
too highly the advice Of parents
and friends. 1t affords them the
benefit of experience, and is given
from sincere solicitude for their
welfare. 1T should be remembered
and weighed, and acted upon.
But, after all, every man has his
own Individual existence he has
own life to live, for which he alone
is accountable. He should derive
the benefit he can from the coun-
sci of those older and wiser than
himself. Then he should sit down
and mediate by himself,and make
up his own mind as to the course
which he wishes to pursue in the
world. Having done this he
should enter upon the execution Of
his plans with a determination to
accomplish what he undertakes
without reference to the opinion
of others. No man is ofany real ac-
count in the world unless he is
something in and of himself.
No man possesses real strength
If he cannot, after having heard
all that others have 10 say, resolve
and resolve firmly, what to do,and
carry his resolution into effect.
Take counsel of others profit
by their experience and wisdom ;
but, above all, take counsel with
yourself; make up your mind what
to do in this world, and do it!

A New York Woman objects to
giving fine but out-of-style dresses
to female servants, on the grounds
that they render them unwilling
ever after to wear clothes suited to
their position. We would also
suggest that this practice has been
the innocent means of causing
many fond husbands to hug and
kiss the servaut-girl by mistake.
By all means let the pretty SER
want girl have a dress quite dis
tinctly from that of her mistress.
