rexts from the Talmud.

If thy wife be small bend down TO her and
speak to her; do nothing without her advice.
Eyerything in life can be replaced; the wife
of early days is irreplaceable.
An honorable man honors his wife con-
temptible one despiseth her
The loss of a first wife is like the loss oil a
mans sanctuary in his lifetime.
If a man divorces his wife, the altar Itself
sheds tears over him.
Man aud wife well matched have heaven
glory IS their compani icn man and woman
i'll matched are encircled by devourins fire
Rather any ache than the heart-ache
rather any evil than an evil wife.
He who loveth his wife like himself and
honoreth her even mote than himself who
leadeth his sons and daughters in the path OF
integrity, and who provides for their settle
ment in early life; to him mey be applied
the Scripture passage, "ThOu shalt know that
peace shall adorn thy tent"
A man who takes wife for the sake of her
money .ears ill-behaved children.
lie who marries woman congenial TO him
self is loved by the Almighty.
When man loseth his wife, ae world o.
round him growetb dark, the light in his tent
is dim, and the light before him is extin-
guished
He who has no wife lives without comfort,
without help, without joy, and without bless
ing.
An old man iu house is terror; 40 old
woman is a pearl.

A NOMINATION TO RELIEVE THE CON-
SCIENCES OF REPUBLICANS.
A few temperance leaders during the past
six months had succeeded in getting the
signatures of many very good citizens to a
pledge not to vote for men whose conduct
did not conform to certain prescribed
principles laid down in the pledge. This
work was labored at by Mr.. G. w.
Roberts, Rev. j. b. Mann, and several
others. And we believe the purpose was
to make temperance nominations; some
of them hoping to secure the nomination
of the Republican party, by representing
that they were sure to secure the votes ola
number of temperance Democrats. They
failed in this. And when they found the
Republican nomination for Congress was
not exactly such as could be voted for by
the ''signers," the temperance party be-
came still more anxious for separate
nomination. A convention was held
but it was captured by the Republican
members of the organization who did not
put so much value on the pledge; sec
ond effort was made, which resulted in
the same way.
Finally, after the Rev. j. b. Mann,
could not be prevailed on to run to divide
the vote of the Republican party, of
which he is member, the Republican
temperance men sought to get out ofthe
dilemma. Perhaps they think they have
partially succeeded in this by nominating
Mr.. CHARLES MOORE, of this city, very
worthy gentleman, and local preacher in
the Methodist church. The object is
solely to ease the conscences of Republic
cans, and possibly to seduce Democratic
voters away from their ticket and thus
withdraw a few votes from Hon. JAMES
WILLIAMS, whose character is unblemish-
ed and unobiectionable, while his
course in Congress has met the views of
every man of his party and the people
generally.
No Democrat who signed the temper
ance pledge (if any did 500 had any idea
that they would be asked or expected to
vote to assist Grantism even so much as
giving half rote to Republican office
holder and supporter of Grants admins
tration for Congress and this they would
do if they voted for Mr.. Moore, insomuch
as their vote would be withdrawn from
Mr. Williams. We hope no Democrat
will allow himself to be caught in this
trap. The letter We published from the
Rev. Mr.. j. B. Mann, was one Of the
most Objectionable productions we have
seen emanate from any source during the
campain. 1t is so utterly devoid of
truth, and aimed so directly at our politi-
cal system as to make one doubt whether
its author could be favorable to suffrage.
| If in that letter Mr.. Mann had said he al
luded entirely to the Republican party in
Delaware, we should have made to OBJ
| lection to his remarks; but when he says
that political morals" inDelaware ''are at
lower ebb than in South Carolina" he
utters what every intelligent gentleman
must know is willful SANDER of our
people. Is it to crafty such men as he
that Democrats are requested to vote for
Mr. Moore? They are not TO be so easily
deluded.

The TictOry of Tuesday.

The triumph of the Democratic Party |
on Tuesday will long be remembered as |
one of the greatest in our political his
tory. indiana and West Virginia are ours
by good majorities.
Ii is almost a wonder thatwe have not
been beaten by large majorities when we
look at the difficulties cast in the way of
the people by Grant and his army of I'M
scrupulous ofiice-holders. Democrats
ought to congratulate themselves on the
result. 1t is sure presage of victory in
November in Indiana and Ohio both.
Tilden and Reform will be the question
IN November; and the people well know
that by voting the Democratic ticket they
will be enabled to escape the fearful rate
Of taxes that has been absorbing their
substance for the last ten years. Cheer
up friends, the day of relief is coming.
A few days more Of work and endurance
and you will be able to sleep with the com.
forting assurance that what you have
made during the day will not be taker
from you to support horde of Office
holders, thieves and robbers and further
knowledge that your country will be on'
vast region of industry where every maj
will be able to pursue his calling and ex
ercise the rights of a free man at the poll
without the fear Of being dragged from
his home and incarcerated in prisons upol
baseless charges trumped up by unscrupu
lous and irresponsible parties for partisan
purposes. Victory is sure to follow i
November, if we work for it. Then let Il
earn it and enjoy it.
In November thirty nine States wi
vote on the same day and the influence
Grants one hundred thousand Office
cannot be brought to bear upon any on
