Two members of the Cabinet, Secretaries
SHERMAN and ScHURz, go West to-day, not
to grow up with the country, but to aid the
growth of the Republican party. 1t is a
matter worthy of note, perhaps, that neither
of them belong to any of our defunct State
associations.

Ex-Governor DENNIsoN, of Ohio, who
has not heretofore been regarded as am ong
the most stalwart ofthe Stalwarts in poll
tics, seems to have had an awakening since
the present campaign opened in Ohio. lie
is now strongly impressed with the idea
that the control of the National Govern
ment, for which the Democratic party is
struggling, would lead to the following dis
astrous results: To the declaration, by
packed Supreme Court, that the Fourteenth
amendment was not constitutionally rati-
fed. To measures for the assumption of
Confederate bonds by the United States.
To the reimbursement of the owners of
liberated slaves for their losses under eman-
cipation. He thinks that very large pro-
portion of the Democratic party would hail
the accomplishment of such ends as the
triumph of right and justice. This is the
view he takes of the future under Demo-
cratic rule, and comes to the very wise and
just conclusion that majority of the Amer
lean people can never be induced to con-
sent TO such programme. 1t will be re-
collected that Ex-Governor DENNIsoN has
been among those who desired Cancellation,
and has advised large concessions in its be-
half The experiment has been tried, and
he now discovers the drift and warns of the
impending danger. When he sounds the
alarm so stoutly there must be peril ahead,
and the gravity ofthe alternative when so
earnestly presented must be very great.

No UndOing.

A little girl sat trying to pick out a
seam that she had sewed together wrong.
Her chubby fingers picked at the thread
that would break, leaving the end some
where among the stitches she had labore,
so YEARLY TO make short and close; am
though the thread came out, vet the needle
holes remained, showing just how the
seam had been sewed; and, with tears in
her eyes, she cried, 20, mamma, | cannon
undo i'll"
Poor little girl! you are learning one OF
the saddest lessons there is. The desire
of undoing what never can be undont
gives us more trouble than all the doings
of busy life; and, because we know this
so well, our hearts often ache for tn,
boys and girls we see doing the thing,
hey will wish SO earnestly by and by t,
undo.
Are there any OF you old enough to read

pillow at night with weary ache all
through you, rs YOU could not shut ou'
the unkind words you have spoken t.
father, mother. brother or sister? Older
noys and girls have felt keener heart
iches for graver faults. You all know
,omething of this desire to undo, and sor.
row that you cannot.
1t is IL very sad picture; and now where
is the bright side? Right here, little boys
md girls. big boys and girls. Let us try
o do thing the first time so we will
never wish 10 undo it, We don't care tt

Der how many seven times eight were; nor
would we take back the apple we gave IL
poor beggar boy, nor unsaw the wood we
sawed for mamma this morning, though
our arms have ached all day, for it was a
nice kind of ache that we enjoyed.
No; we never wish to undo Il thing that
is done right. Then how much better it
is, and how mach trouble we save our
selves, if we do thing right at first
Sometimes we don t know what is right
but we can always ask. If the little girl
mad asked her mother about the seam she
vas sewing, and had done as she was
told, she would have saved the trouble OF
picking it out. We can ask our friends :;

Father. He never leads US wrong; and

shall never wish to undo.-7hs Myrtie.

Sugar from Indian Corn and sorghum.

The difficulties are now entirely remov-
ed. 1t is now clearly shown that the
juices of maize and of sorghum grown in
the United States are richer in sugar OF

is such sugar. and that the impediments

Next morning the boys hurried from the

the peas in the south window. They found
that while they were fast asleep the little

The little sprouts soon grew long enough
