JULIA VESTIGIA RETRORSUM.
SALISBURY, CONN, FRIDAY, JULY r.
s.I trust that is even so, my friend.

s'I trust that is even so, my friend. But there were seasons in the worse than Egyptian night through which l have passed when the tsmpter's power seemed about to crush me. For myself I cared little; for my wife and children everything. The thought of seeing them go out from the pleasant home I had provided for them and step down, far down, to lower level in the social grade, half distracted me for 8 time. For them I would have braved every thing but dishonor. I could not stoop to that. And so have passed fiery ordeal and cone out, verify believe, 8 better man. No, my friend, l am not ruined. I have lost my fortune, but not my integrity"
 And so the man stood firm. It was not in the power of any commercial dis aster to ruin him.
 The storm ragged furiously; the waves beat madly against him; but he stood immovable, for his feet were upon the solid rock of honor.

Good Advice.

Ladies who are planning to visit the Exhibition at Philadelphia will do we'll to dress simply and sensibly. Plain, neat garments are the most appropriate, nice ones are almost certain to be in iured. In some parts of the Exhibition grounds the dust is very penetrating, and the asphaltum walks become sticky under the hot sun. In the Main build tug the passages are necessarily sprinkled to lay the dust. And to see long dresses trailing through the water is not only disgusting, but such obstacles seriously interfere with the comfortable locomo- tion of the crowd. A short walking skirt is indispensable to comfort and neatness,

We wish you all happy New Year.

One of the most incomprehensible
discoveries-if it be true, which is ques-
tionablc that we have ever encountered
is announced in a recent French Journal
by NJ. Massie, lie Gays that the mere
introduction of an iron bar, in the box
in which barley, rice, bran, biscuit and
like farinaceous materials are stored, is
sufficient to prevent either the ravages
of decay or the attacks of insects. Full
details of the experimental investigation
are given. An iron bar three pounds in
weight is reputed to have protected
forty gallons of grain, and certain bis
cults in excellent condition, while Others,
under like circumstances, but without
the iron, were totally destroyed by
weeyils.

No citizen who values free institutions
can fail to be moved by profound anx.
iety as to the outcome of the present pc.
litical embarrassment. The temptation to
fraud in manipulating the election re-
turns are so evident, and the public dan
gers OF any such course are so enormous,
that partioanship ought to be wholly
swallowed up in patriotism. Counting
in" anybody as President in such a way
as to leave the people convinced that he
is really usurper would do more to de.
stroy republican government in this
country than open, armed rebellion
Let US ali be fixed in one purpose-to
throw whatever influence we possess, be
it little or great, on the side of an hon.
est, dispassionate, partisan settlement
of this grave Presidential question.
