GEN. MccLELL4N FOR TTLDEN.

Extract from a Recent Letter to his Army Com
rades.
But have sufficient faith in the honor
and ability of our southern brethren to
believe that, when left to themselves, they
will we'll know how to enforce just laws,
and secure the rights of the humblest of
their fellow-citizens.
In Mr.. Tilden am confident that we
have a candidate possessing all the re-
ouisites that the exigencies of the times
demand. In a long career he has
given the surest proofs of ability and
integrity. 1t is a very easy thing to
preach reform to an opponent, but a
very different affair to carry it out in ones
own party.
This Mr.. Tilden has had the rare cour
age and ability to do. Against great OBJ
stacles he commenced and carried through
the hurculean task of fighting corrup-
ton and pursuing the plunderers in his
own party, and it is almost superfuous
to say that the courage, energy, untiring
perseverance and acumenhe displayed in
those memorable contests prove that he
possesses in a most eminent degree the
qualities so much needed in our chief
magistrate in the present crisis of our af-
fairs.
In regard to all questions of finance
and reform, we have the sure criterion of
his past to enable us to form positive
convictions as to his future.
In his hands may be safely left the task
ofawarding liberal justice to the south,
while jealousy guarding the rights of the
north, and the issues decided by the
great struggle ended, trust and believe,
forever.
When elected l believe that ne will
enter upon the duties of his high office
with the single purpose of serving his
country faithfully, and with no lower
ambition than that of devoting every
faculty to the glorious task of rendering
the nation prosperous at home and hon.
ored and respected abroad. l would like
to appeal to those who in civil life have
honored me with their friendship and
support, and especially and most earn
estly to those men to whom have never
appealed in vain-my comrades of the
war-and to ask them to stand once
more with me in our country's cause, in
civil contest now, as formerly in a dead
lier struggle. and support to the utter
most the election of Mr. Tilden to the
presidency.
l believe that the issues now at stake
are similar to those for which we fought
the honor and well-being of the nation.
am very truly yours.

Cincinnati Enquirer

The attorney general of the United
States, who is known and has been respect
ed among the people of Cincinnati,
issues an order to the United States mar
shalsof the south, which is an exceedingly
harmonious supplement to the announced
policy of the president, the secretary of
war and the general of the armies. The
law officer of the United States
Alphonso Taft, emphasizes this policy by
formal instructions in early September
that no advantage in November election
be lost. 1t is ponstrous proposition
and order. 1t is not enough that the
army shall be used to carry the elections
in the southern states, but the attorney
general of the United States authorizes
the marshals of the United States to
make draft for election purposes. They
are practically told to conscript men to
help to carry the elections Not only
men, but boys, are to be called out to
save the republican party. The attor-
ney general tells the marsbals that they
have right to summon every person
in the district above fifteen years of age,
of whatever occupation, and ''includiag
the military of all denominations. +"

With whisper light rs air.
Casting shadows On sisteT-vomans lame

There is no rule which philosophers
can devise for choosing either husbands
or wives wisely that has very much effect,
for the young do not trust the old upon
that subject, and choice, for women es-
pecially, is by no means so free as we all
affect to believe. Not one woman in fifty,
unless she is for some reason-such as
fortune, rank, or beauty-a great "catch, !"
has anything like real power of selec-
ton among admirers; and evel when
she has, she often gives it away in obedi-
ence to a passing, possibly sensible, posi-
bly, laundering fancy that she has found
an ideal But we should have said there
were two broad rules still worth teaching
because they had some chance of being
believed, and they were these: let the
woman's first requisite be man whose
home will be to him a rest, aud the
mans first object be a woman who can
make home restful. 1t is the man with
many interests, with engrossing oc
equations, with plenty of people to fight,
with astruggle to maintain against the
world, who is really the domestic man, in
the wife's sense, who enjoys home, who is
tempted to make friend of his wife .who
relishes prattle, who feels in the small
circle where nobody is above him and no
body unsympathetic with him, as if he
were in heaven of ease and redemption

losses sustained from 1869 to June so,

3RE4TMENT or GIRLS.

How many unhappy girls have paid
dearly for the early bringing up of then
young husbands, who, after the first
glamour of love has passed, treat Their
wives as they were allowed to treat their
sisters, and as they saw their fathers
treat their mothers-carelessly, dsre-
speetfully, with a tota! want of that con-
siderate tenderness which is worth all
the passionate love in the world. This
class, though they I ay muster outside
as excellent husbands, never do anything
real bad, and possessing many good aud
attractive qualities, yet contriving some
how TO quietly break the poor woman's
heart, or harden it into that passive ac-
ceptance OF pain, which is more fatal to
married happiness than even temporary
arrangement. Anger itself is safer
thing than stelid, hopeless Indifference.
The best husband ever met came out
Of family where the mother, a most
heroic and selEdenying woman, laid
down the law, " Girls first" not in anv
authority, but hrst TO be thought of as
to protection and tenderness. Conse-
quently the chivalrous care which these
lads were taught to show their sisters
naturally extended itself to all women

exacting courteous of speech, and kind
OF heart. In them was the protecting
strength of manhood which scorns to use
its strength except for protection-the
proud honesty of manhood which inf
nitely prefers being loving and openly
resisted to being twisted around ones
finger as mean men are twisted, and
mean women will always be found ready
to do it; but which, l think, all honest
men and brave women not merely dis
like, but utterly despise.

1 WHINING TO noID, BAD Bors.

From the montreal Gazette
1t was at noon on an early spring day
when bold, bad boy went home from
school and said, "Dear mother, mayn't
go in my bare feet this afternoon? None
of the boys wear shoes in the spring"
But his mother said, No my darling
boy, I cannot let you 20 barefooted. and

bad boy, closed the debate with a sigh,
and when the yeas and nays were called
his motion did not prevail, and the house
soon adjourned. But the boy went out
of the yard by the alley-way and tuok
off his shoes and stockings and hid them
behind the wood pile and scudded mer-
rily off to school, and every body admired
his fiat, muddy, bare feet. But when he
got out of school he ground was COW
cred with snow, and he had very solemn
time hippity hopping back home, and
when he got there he couldn't tell the
wood-pile from hay-stack, and his
shoes and stockings might as well have
been in the middle of the ocean for all
the good they did him. So he went into
the house, and, after great deal of fill
clustering, he made his report, which
was tabled, and the house went into a
committee of the whole on the state Of
the boy. His mother took the floor, and
after an exciting and highly interesting
session, the committee rose, and the
house adjourned, while the boy rubbed
such portions of his anatomy as he could
reach, and framed a bill for the more
perfect prevention of clilblains.

back to those inspiring scenes of print
tive times when the company of disciples
were of one heart and mind, steadfast in
the apostles doctrine and fellowship,
having all things in common, continuing
in the temple, praising God and having
favor with all the people.
In its peculiar doctrnec, its primitive
system of church government, its timer
ant plan of preaching, its systematic pro-
vision for its ministers and members, its
widespread missionary enterprises, and
the untiring activity of its membership
the Methodist church possesses unusual
advantages for the spread fits doctrines
