SLANG PHRASES.
By MAY MAPLE.

If there is anything that makes US
blush for womanhood it is when
we hear one of our own sex using the
low, vulgar slangs of the streets and
alleys as Familiarity as household
words. Such phrases as ''Skin out!'
'.Dry up?' ''Bully!" and thous-
ands of others are an abomination, to
say the least. Many would-be ladies
are in the habit of gathering up this
filthy scum, imagining that it sounds
sharp and witty when they can spice
their conversation with a large sprink-
ling of it. And yet you will often
hear such persons rebuking husbands
and sons for profanity. Now, We do
not approve of profanity, but we do
say that a woman who allows herself
to use street slang is no better than
if she blistered her lips with oaths.
A pure-minded, womanly woman has
no wish to attract attention by coarse
fippant speeches.
LET your communications be yea
and nay; for whatsoever is more than
this cometh Of evil?" The great
Teacher evidently did not approve of
these corrupt speeches that were at
once adisgrace to the speaker and the
hearer.
We have known mothers, who were
! exceedingly anxious to have their
daughters refined and ladylike, to he
constantly in the habit of using such
words as Good heavens" ''Good
Lord" "By George" and 1.-THE
deuce take it," on all occasions.
And yet these same mothers would
check the little daughters for saying
'tOh, pshaw." and tell them it was
vulgar to use such words. Example
ooes much further than precept.
Then do not use words that disgrace
your tongue, harden your conscience
and pollute your soul. The words
YOU utter are an index of the mind
and an evidence IF tie company you
keep. People OF education and true
refinement seldom Use slang to en-
phasize their meaning. Well-chosen
words are like ''applcs of gold III
pictures Of silver"

AYES-CONkLING

Conkling is victorious, and he
knows it. This morning he walks
more erect than ever, ana the lock III
the centre OF his forehead curls SO
tight that he can't shut his eyes.
After the fight WAS over last night, he
went over to the house of Senator
Jones and they do say that those two
gentlemen had a high old time. The
first thing that they did after enter
ing the parior OF the Silver Senator
was to embrace, and then both solemn
ly and d~ecorously stood on their
heads for the space Of five minutes.
This ceremony over, the champagne
was ordered up, Il few friends were
called i'll, and they all got-well,
they got more champagne when that
was gone. At the other end Of the
ayenue the news vas not received with
tine same spirits. Indeed, they didn't
have any spirits at ali. Evarts was at
'le Executive MANSION "heh tlc
news came when the messenger
arrived and announced that the New
York nominations were rejected,
hvarts looked at Hayes, and Hayes
looked at EYarts, and then each look
cd at tie other. Neither OF them
spoke u wordI Tor at least a minute.
Evarts was the first to break silence,
and he did SO by %uttering the short
est sentence tic was ever known to
speak, namely:
"Neil, I'll lie ID
ME, too said Hayes.
"Rutherford." said Mrs. Hayes,

A YEARS AGO.

@
One hundred years ago not a pound
of coal or cable foot of Illuminating
gas had been burned in the country.
No iron stoves were used andno con-
trivances for eeonomizing heat were
employed until DIR. Franklin invented
the iron-framed fireplace, which still
bears his name. All the cooking and
warming in town and country were
done by the aid of fire kindled upon
the brick hearth or in the brick oven.
Pine knots or tallow candles furnish
ed the light for the long winter nights,
and sanded floors supplied the place
of rugs and carpets. The water used
for household purposes was drawn
from deep wells by the creaking
~''sweep.'
No form of pump was used in this
country, so far as we can learn, I'M
til after the commencement of the
present century. There were no
friction matches in those early days,
by the aid of which a fire could be
speedily kindled and if the sire
went OUT upon the hearth over night,
and the timber was damp So that the
spark would not catch, the alternative
remained Of wading through the snow
a mile or so, to borrow a brand of a
neighbor.
Only one room in any house was
warm unless some one of the family
was i'll in all the rest the temporal
ture vas at zero during many nights
in the winter. The men and women
of a hundred years ago undressed
and went to their beds in q temper
ature colder than our modern barns
and woodsheds, a1d they never COM
planned.

Old Ysar is dead! Palseless and cold he
lies.
Wrapped in the purple of the midnight
skies,
A. crown of shimmering stars upon his
breast
His esrth-reign DER. Peace to his royal.
The ieweled scepter of to-morrow's morn
BY new-c crowned king will proudly be

To hope for New Year sun-barred golden

And gsylY on her way the fair morn
drifts
To shower in tickle homage gracious gifts.
And now she kisses Old Years pallid face,
Thst oft hath glowed beneath her fond
embrace.
Poor fallen year! Pierced by times cruel
blade,
A phantom wandering in the past's drear-
or shade
Thou soon wilt be; in long procession
days
Will follow. weeping, chanting loud thy
praise,
And laurel wreaths to twiRe thy empty
skull,
The worlds hands eager, thoughtfully
will Gull
And where thy lyest on thy s~now-palled
The coming age will drop regretful tear
Then rest, thou royal Old Year-thro' the
New
We welcome in with loyal hearts and
true,
Still art thou dear to all. Rest, Old Year
rest
! lay the rose of sweet remembrance on
thy breast.
And through its colors fade, its crumb

A perfume pure shall subtly e'er Impair!
Its sweetness to our senses. Have nc

NAILS.
INDEPENDENCE, CANDoR, CONSERVATISM
ENTERPRISE, yIGOR.
OF PRICES TO SUIT THE
TINES.

The elections of 1877 over, to con-
gress will all eyes turn to witness the
course OF political events in America.
Questions of vital interest are. press
ing for settlement, anu the discussion
bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of finance, pacif-
cation, internal improvements, civil
service reform, Indian and Mexican
border troubles, &c., are among those
which must largely occupy the public
mind. The proper development OF
the resources of The West and South.
by mean of an improved condition
of river and railroad transportation
tacilities-the utilization of unenI-
ployed labor in needed public works
the encouragement of immigration
to the fertile lands of the great
West, are matters of nation, as well
as of local concern. Scarcely less IN
portant is the support of all meas
ures, by WhOmsoever originated, aid
ed or Endorsed, giving to the South
ern states q full and free control OF
their own affairs-the only. policy
leading to permanent peace. The
state legislatures. especially those t.
elect United States senators, will ais
be invested with interest, as upon
chem and the elections of 1873 will
tevolve the decision as TO whether
the reins of political power shall con
tinue to be held by the E.epublica'
party, the tenure Of that power o
hanging by but a slender thread.
Upon these and kindred subjects
he Republican, which gives All earn
st advocacy to the principles o. he
constitutional Democracy, will ALWAYS
De found battling in the ranks of the
thinking, working people OF the West
md South. And whilst sparing no
,ffort to obtain and promulgate the
most reliable information relative to
American politics, the Republican
will maintain its past reputation for
the collection of all important and
interesting news from all quarters of
The globe. Affairs in the Eastern
hemisphere, now occupying so much
attention. will not be omitted in the
iesi@n of making this pap-ra regular
rhroniclcI of the exciting inteili-
sencc Of the day: and whatever
serprise and lavish expenditure can
