The primary scramble among the
"unterrifed" last Saturday resulted in
the nomination Of Mr.. Thacker for
the unexp!red term. Scarcely is
Stinchcomb cold in his grave than
such a squabble springs up for his of
fetal mantle as to cause every true
patriot to stand agast and ponder as
to what melancholy end we are tend
ing. Men by the dozen spring up
suddenly and is ready seen prowling
along every road, to say Or do any
thing for the nomination. But
Thacker now is the boy with the rec
ord, and everybody is busy figuring
up to see what il cost him in money,
To get the nomination. The sum be-
ing variously estimated at from two
10 three thousand dollars. The use
of money as 4. means of controlling
elections is n et feprehensible and his
tory proves to ~ phase of corrup-
tion, fatal Y statd end you can lay
it down as 'rule, thab,, man who will
secure noniNatiot by the lavish use
ofmonev, will rob the public treasury,
if he can get a chance. 1t is truly a
melancholy source of reflection that so
many candidates are corrupt and that
so many men are painting for office
that absolutely have not the ability to
run "goose nest"

A man with toothache doesn't care
about anything else. The glories of the
world pail on his taste, the wonders Of
creation seem as naught. The tooth
becomes volcano of belching fury
and the rest OF life is hidden in cloud
of its billowing smoke You can't Dor
row anything of a man with the toothache
You can't instruct or improve him. You
tell him that the world travels at the rate
of a thousand miles minute, and il
doesn't startle him in the least. He
simply groans. You say to him: my
friend, there are stars so far off that their
light has not yet reached this world, but
he don't mind it. He only bowls. You
tell him that some of the sun spots are
100000 miles in diameter, and that one
of them would take in Jupiter at one
mouthful, but it is nothing to him. He
goes on swearing and weeping. Some
times mans tooth aches so hard, the
pain is so agonizing, that several strong
men have to hold him down by main
force while some important scientific fact
is being communicated to him.-Ddnbur

Sabbath Thoughts.
By CAPTAIN SAMUEL WHITING.

By CAPTAIN SAMUEL WHITING.
Written for the Star
A day will come when no more shall hear
Yon chapel bell;
1t may be distant far or very near,
But who can tell?
A day will dawn when no more shall see
Earth's glories round,
When this frail, failing frame Of mine shall b.
Laid under ground.
A day viii come when no more shall speak
Loves words Of cheer,
When one true friend will feel upon his cheei
falling tear
A time viii come when those who once dio
trnst,
Win gather near,
And say, with tears, that he who now us
To them was dear.
Where, then, shall this fine essence calrd "th'
SOUL"
Pursue its fight?
VIII it, enfranchis'd, seek some distant goal
In regions bright:
And in the pictur'd realm of endless bliss
Shall friends all meet?
Shall children glory in a mothers kiss,
So pure-so sweet?
Shall all the transient cares and ills OF earth
Forever cease?
And shall we hail with JOY the newest birth
OF Love and Peace?
OH could but the gracious tale believe
OF endless bliss
Could [ reach such a world I'd never @rieve
At leaving this.
And still pray that this blest hope be mine,
TO soothe my care;
Grant me this boon, oh Pow'r Of light Divine,
Hear thou my pray'r!
