States, when the motion was made by the
Senator from Delaware, Mr. Bayard, to apply
the same rule to Louisiana, the decision was
reversed. The case had been made 80 plain
by counsel, so irrefutable, that such an ex-
animation could not take place without pro-
wing, beyond the possibility Of doubt, that
more than one elector from that State was
not entitled to the position of elector because
he was not eligible, and this decision was
changed by this Commission. Sir, the names
of JeAfreys and Marlborough have come
down to US for ages past covered with dis
grace and shame, because they we're corrupt
Judges, and the name of that man who
changed his vote upon that Commission illus.
tice Bradley will go down to after ages dis
graced. His name will be associated with
Marlborough and Jefreys, and it never will
be pronounced without hiss from all good
men in this country.

HEPRErERRED WATER.-A tramp, while
on his travels, noticed small placard in front
of q bar-room. 1t bore the legend, "Free
Lunch" and he went in, walked unostenta'
tiously up to plate, and commenced opera
tions with sandwich; then the ar-keeper
walked up to the cadsverous wretch, and said

"Well, then, why don't you conform with

"'Cause I 90 in for health, and don't drink

The bar.keeper turned his back for mo-
ment, and the tramp slipped three sandwiches
into his coat pocket and devoured four. Then
he walked up to the bar, and huskily whis-
pered:
"Gimme glass O water, will YET"
"What! water, after four sandwiches p bel

And he hobbled out; but if he had caught
the foot that flew after him, he wouldn't have
been satisfied with the "booty" of his visit.

A FAMILY RoMANcE.-Jones would 90
out evenings on little spree, which be en-
deavored to conceal from his wife. In this
he succeeded we'll for time, but at last her
suspicious became aroused. She watched his
movements, when he came home, for three or
four evenings, and thus became doubly sure
that her suspicious were not without founds-
ton. He would enter the room very eau
tiously at night, then set himself down on a
chair by the bed, and disrobe himself and
quietly slip into bed-and all this was done
in the dark. Mr.. Jones concluded she would
set trap for him. She moved all the chairs
away from the place he usually sat down,
and in the place put washtub filled with
water She then retired, and was soon in the
land of dreams.
Sure enough, at late hour, Jones came
home, and, as usual, attempted to sit down in
his accustomed chair, but he landed in the
washtub, and after many unsuccessful at
tempts rolled out of it and upon the floor.
The noise awakened Mrs. Jones, who gave a
terrible scream, and after calming down ask
ed him what was the matter. The following
was his answer:
"Carrie-hic-tidal wave-hic-swim out
hic-you're over your-hic-head. Let's
go-hic-on shore r.
Jones evidently thought he was ship-wreck-
ed; but the next morning he and Mrs. Jones
were seen taking the pledge and buying a
new carpet.

HAPPY THouGHTFuLNEss,- Unhappy the
man doomed for his sins to dance with part
ner whom he doesn't know, dancing including
conversing! He soon exhausts the brief Sc
ries of conventional phrases: "What'a lovely
evening"" "Dreadfully warm. isn't it?"
"Do you like dancing?" and the like, and
then is reduced to conversational want Of
course, if be has talent for slander or sarcasm,
he has the resource of criticising the remain

condemned to twenty.oyster-pow dumb

asked:

Protecting FARM IMPLEMENTs.-Ac care
full, thoughtful farmer never allows his plows,
harrows, cultivators, moving and reaping ma

trate, with either board flooring or placed
upon scautling to raise them from the ground.
Such portions of the iron as is likely to rust,
should be painted over slightly with any
cheap oil paint, and it would add to the ap,
pearance of all implements, and machinery
especially, if the woodwork is also painted.
When this is inconvenient, the iron should be
cleansed of dirt and creased. with pieces of
fat pork. They should also be put in good
repair in Winter, in order to be ready for op'
Grating when needed in Spring. Leaving
this repairing until another season, frequently
causes damaging delays, which should always
be provided against. There is nothing like
being always ready with these things for any
emergency.

LOVED FIRST.

We are apt to conclude that God loves US
because we love him. This is not the case
We love him because he first loved US. II
God would refrain from loving all of the hu'
man family until they, as individuals, first
loved him, then he would never 1--we any OF
US. So long as we remain in our natural
state, we must continue to hate God. "fhe
carual mind is enmity against God." Never
until changed by the power of Gods holy
spirit can the carnal mind, or man in his
sinful state, love God, or anything that is
holy.
The love of God is as wonderful and glo'
rious as his power or his wisdom. To love
those who love us, is characteristic of human
nature; but God loves his enemies. He
hates sin and loves the sinner. The human
mind is incapable Of viewing an individual
as distinct from bis act. We love or hate
individuals rather on account of their acts
than on account Of their persons. God, on
the contrary, loves the sinner whilst he hates
his sins, and by the power of his grace he
makes saint out of sinner.
Many suppose that the reason God loves
the sinner, is because Christ died for sinners
This is another mistake. The Scripture doc
trine on this point is that Christ died for sim
ners because God loved them. "God so loved
the world that he gave his only begotton son
that whosoever believeth in him should moi
perish, but have eternal life.". Astounding
love! God gave his own son to die for sim
ners
Gratitude demands that the ransomed sin
ner devote all the energies of his being to the
service of his redeemer. Bought not with
silver or gold, but with the blood of the SOL
of God, what shall the sinner return unto the
Lord his God2

SUFFERING.

"Man that is born of woman is of few days
and full of evil" The days of those of the
human family, who attain the greatest age,
are comparatively few. The life of the Oldest
of Adams race is but span. Our days fly
away like shadow. Short as are our lives,
they are full of trouble. We violate Gods
laws and suffer the penalty.
We might suppose that since Christ came
into the world to save sinners, those who put
their trust in him would be exempt from the
ills of life. We forget that Christ did not
come into the world to destroy the law, but to
fulfill it. The wages of sin is death, and who
ever sins must suffer. Believers are kept in
this world for the purpose of being prepared,
by the providence and grace of God, for
heaven. It is a part of the plan Of salvation
that they be made perfect through suffering
One of the graces which is bestowed upon
them, is the power to suffer for Christ. ITO
you," says the apostle, "it is given not only to
believe, but also to suffer-" More grace is re-
ouired in order to suffer for Christ, than. to
believe in Christ. s' '-@' .-.''.'..
Because individuals are sorely afflicted, we
are not to conclude that they are not children
of God. The gold must be purged of the
dross. To effect this, both are cast into the
furnace. The hot flames consume the dross
but the gold remains
As father, God aflicts his erring people
that they, like the wandering prodigal in the
parable, may "come to themselves" and return
to their fathers house. ut was good for me-
said the Psalmist, "that was afflicted" He
was thereby taught an important lesson. So
it is, and ever will be, in this world with all
Gods people. Sickness enables them to put q

NAIL IN HORSES FooT.-A neighbor Of
mine recently informed me that he had lost
most valuable horse by a casualty by no
means uncommon. A knowledge of a simple
remedy would have prevented this loss. The
horse trod upon nail which entered his foot
Lameness followed, the nail was extracted
but lockjaw supervened, resulting in death
An unfsiling remedy in such cases is muriat
ic acid. If, when nail is withdrawn from q
horses foot, the foot should be held up and
some muriatic acid be poured in the wound
neither lameness nor lockjaw need be feared
