The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his lecture
on 'The wastes and burdens of society,"" claims
"mans natural life to be so years, and as the av.
erage life is but SO years, there must be a waste
of A. years" There is much of truth in this
statement. If man be unfortunate in business,
it is attributed to the violation of some CONNER
cial law. Now, If person be taken off in the
prime of life, ought it not TO be attributed to the
Violate Of some physiological law If people
only knew better, they would live better and
longer; but how can they profit by that which
they know not Off The only popular work that

Attempted Sale of the Greenback
Party to the Democrats.
[From the Bangor Wing ana Courier.

From the Bangor WHY ana Courier
We have not the slightest fear that this bold
game can be successfully played upon men who
voted on financial Issue and not as recruits to
the democratic party. The exposure of the at
tempted bargain will insure its absolute failure
with all the great mass Of men who vote from
conviction and not as the chsttels Of such political
brokers'; and Marcellus Emey's editorial printed
in ouI columns, furnishes all the evidence that any
intelligent person can desire. The falsome eulogy

last ditch democracy, is as plain proclamation oil
his treachery % if the Bourbon demsgogues had
shouted Il from the house-top, and the statement
that Rust has been lsboring for this union, is q
truth Is unusual significant in those columns
The adage says 1.-THE laborer is worthy of his hire
and Rust has been earning the distingu ished con
siderstion of the democratic managers in Maine.
The Transparency Of this attempt to sell out a
large body of voters renders it astonishing that the
intriguers could have the effrontery to make it.
At the recent conference" in Gardiner, where
the old Democratic State Committee sssemb led to
fix things" with the little clique Of adventures
aud chronic office-seekers who assume TO carry
the greenback vote in their pockets, Eben F..
Pillsbury was one of the Jealous promoters of the
"union." The pretext put forward is that the
greenbackers and democrats shall unite and make
the financial issue the sole basis of the "new ALI
snce," and that the triumph of the gree nbac k
movement would be thereby assured. The dis
honesty and hypocrisy of this pretence, is most
plainly demonstrated by this incauiious but en-
phstic declaration in the last issue of his Standard
sit is EVIDENT FROM THE RESULT OF THE
ELECTION THAT THE GREENBACK PARTY AS AN
INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT HAS NO FUTURE IN
THE COUNTRY AT LARGE"
That means plainly that on the distinctive green
back issue there is no prospect of success, but
that greenbackers must all go over to the old
democratic party and support its doctrines in order
to do whst-why, simply to beat the republican
party and put the rebel democracy in control of
the National government. The spider 10 very
generous in his invitation, but the flies are not

on this occasion was, Josiah Is 10. "Precept upon
precept,-precept upon precept line upon lne,-

asking habeas corpus fol- each OF the

were illegally excluded from the juries, and
that they be tried anew in the Unlteo

. Judge Rives, in delivering his opinion
said that all the proceeGin s in the State

had refused to allow the same, even under
the humane law OF the State, which re

the Judge who we're competent jurors. yet
when these defendants demanded that

the law IF the United States in refusing
them this right. He said they were emit

should not select their jurymen excl: 'sive
