The Value of Grants Name.

Of from $500 to 5000 votes. The Repub

gains, but Northampton elected James w.
Grant, Democrat, by 1873. There was
stupefaction for awhile till the truth came
out, as follows:
On election day, just previous to the
opening Of the polls, man on horseback
appeared at each voting precinct, called
up the colored voters and addressed them
as follows:
"Fellow citizens, l come to address you
this morning AS to the man you shall vote
for. shall say but few words. and these
shall be especially directed to you coored

PHRESoLoGY.-There are still q few
persons in remote rural places who believe
that pbreuology is science, aud that its
principles are true. It is very possible
that the human brain would be more
easily worked and more generally useful
were it divided into quantity Of separate
organs, each with its appropriate work.
At present, when man desires to pick up
pin from the carpet, or to ask his wife
to hand him the sugar. bowl, be has to
give his whole mind to it, which is, of
course, far more fatigning than it would
be to employ merely the organ Of picking
up pins,' or Of asking ones wife for the
sugar bowl. Similarly, It would be an
if these seperste o,gans
were to have corresponding bumps on the
outside Of the skull. SO that the precise
mental condition VI every person could be
ascertaineA by examining his or her
bumps. For example, il young man,
desiring an introduction to n young lady
with the view Of ultimately asking her
to marry him. could first examine her
skull and f,d out whether the organ of
saying. Yes. dear, l love you," is larger
than that Of saying, If you ever speak
to me like that again I'll call pal" he
would be able to lay his plans inteIIigrntIy.
In fact, bat one fault can bs fonnd with
and that is that it is not,
and there is not the trace Of shadow Of
a ghost of u reason for believing il to be
true.

HERO-W0RsH1p.
BY EDWARD AXIOM.

We light our incense for the heroes.
Our songs ring on the air, carrying their
names on the wings Of glory to posterity.
Their daunt'ess courage fires our hearts
with enthusiasm similar to the intoxica-
tion aroused by beauty. All! but this
enthusiasm is dangerous, for we are under
its influence liable to be lamentably uu.
just. We may pile our praises on objects
more deserving Of adherence and con-
demnation than utterances Of honor.
Bravery is glorious |" Well bu: bravery
alone cannot make a man great, no: even
if it is coupled with genius. The most
degraded criminals have sometime dis
played both in a high degree And,
when we meet fellow.beings. endowed, it
may be, with indomitsble courage, but
lacking those beautiful qualities which we
call justice, compassion, reverence, do We
not make fools Of ourselves in showing
them honor. and erecting monuments for
the immortalizstion Of their names Yes,
verify. Every token Of respect wasted
upon conceited, tyrannical destroyers of
the happiness Of man is slap in the face
Of humanity. Deaths for tyrants! Down
with their monuments, and may shame
enshroud their names, whether these re-
present exalted fools like Louis XIV, ex.
a'ted fiends like Charles XII, who sen.
fenced John Patkull to be broken on the
wheel, or both like Pope Alexander VI.
Such are the outbursts Of feelings from
the true philanthropist. But will human
ity thank hims Will not the poor NOR
tails, aroused from their dreams, use their
returning strength in an attempt to STAY
the benefactor! Ah !! the human soul
,cants to adore. 1t was this mighty i'm
pulse which induced that brilliant Swedish
enthusiast, the author Of bird Blue" to
exclaim to imagination and hope: mo
matter if you deceive u, since you make
US happy" Well! bitter is the awaken
ing from the dreams in which We roamed
on the mountains Of imagination, all the
time stretching out longing glances to the
distant bills bitter when we realize that
the noble and warming objects We sought
cannot be reached bitter when We find
that what we consi Tered great and vener-
able becomes low and horrible. But in
this case should nevertheless . love Of
truth overpower our souls to such an
extent that We freely and manly tear from
our wounded heats the dsceiving images
