Kentucky M0desty.

Everybody ACQUAINTED with Kentucky
and Kentuckians know that their
modesty is not remarkably great. A
| Louisville newspaper refers TO the
| story that the late George ID. Prentice
| received sos 600 for writing an editor
ial for the Journal in favor of the Sc
~cession of the state. and that it was
suppressed after being put in type. 1t
says that its suppression at the last
moment probably saved the union. The
adyerb is the offspring of undue humil-
ity. There are not many Kentuckians
we imagine. who can ever be persuad-
ed that their state did not, by techni-
cally remaining loyal, preserve the in
tegrity Of the republic. Kentucky is,
to their partial eyes, the center and
pivot, the heart and soul of the nation.

SOME of the foolish fellows in con-
gress propose to reopen the question of
the presidential title. or course they
are democrats. Two schemes for this
purpose are OF foot. One is a sort of
new Potter committee to do the dirty
work, and the other is to get the Dem
ocratic Judiciary committee to report,
from the evidence already taken, that
Hayes was not legally elected, and that
Tilden was. There is no telling what
the democrats will try to do.

WITH regard to the state debt of
Tennessee, it is stated that the people
favor an equitable compromise salts
factory to themselves and the creditors,
and oppose any discrimination in the
settling of thebonds, and assert that
no settlement a be made binding
without the consent of the bondhold-
ers. A bill is before the. state senate
for the refunding of the debt, which. is
not deemed popular, and will probably
be rejected.

The republicans of France are SAT

The republicans of France are safe
ly over another ugly question. The
strong vote in the chamber of deputies
against the impeachment of the De
Broglie ministry showed a determine
ton to avoid agitation, while the vote
on the resolution of censure expressed
the sentiment OF. the majority as to con-
demning the course of the ministry.

Rnchantment.

There was an angelic dancer in New
York who had recently arrived from
England, and delighted the bald-heads
critics row, as well as the aspiring young
swells. whose highest delight is TO get
behind the scenes. Her form was the
successful rival Of the Medician Venus;
with that advantage which the poet so
beautifully cites
Well our beautiful eoryphee, who was
properly named Celeste, 10 indicate the
improper display of celestial 1oveiiness,
made havoc with hearts generally-in
fact, holocaust Of loye-until n certain
rich young swell, susceptible, but green
fell so madly in love with her, that his
fond mamma had 10 consent 10 his marry
ing her. which he did by writing the
Terpichorean angel an official letter, ex-
planning the condition of his heart and
pocket. He supposed she was twenty
years old; and so she was, TO all intents
and purposes, for business. As cory
phee, she was twenty, because she looked
Il before the foOtlights. But marriage
demands close acquaintance; and even
angelic brides must prove to husband
that they are real women strange para
ing to lover, should be eliminated by
the husband.

heaven. The groom was enchanted; the
ew-made mother-in-law resigned. Now
it happened, by an accident arranged by
the evil genius of Celeste, that the hotel
where the couple first stopped on their
wedding tour had to endure an obstrep-
erous alarm Of fire. Through the smoke
and flames the young groom bore his
bride out in safety. He laid her on a
sofa and took her white hand. She had

A MOurnfal Romance.

A beautiful young gentleman had his
ears boxed by very pretty girl in the
streets of Rome last winter. As soon as
the girl looked at him she blushed,
begged ten thousand pardons, and said
she was mistaken-she had boxed the
wrong man. Now, the gentleman could
not forget the box, the blush the apology,
and all the rest, and he determined to
see the girl again, if possible. He did
see her-she was shop girl; neverthe-
less, he fell so much in love with her that
he offered her his heart and hand. She
refused both, saying she was engaged.
This time he tried to forget her, and had
nearly succeeded in doing so when he
received letter from her asking him to
go and see her at the hospital. He found
the poor girl dying. and from her lips he
heard her story-the old one Love and
abandonment I" She asked him not to
let her baby die of hunger. he promised,
and when the girl died he took the child
and placed it with proper people. He
did more-he sent challenge to the
girls seducer, fought him, and disabled
| him for life.

II does seem like boarding the lion

but Americas destiny apparently Is to
furnish meat as well a. grain to our
mother land, and American farmers must
wake up 10 the opportunity that is be-
fore them. There are wide fields both
East and West that are most inviting for
sheep walks, or wolds, as our Saxon an.
cestors called sheep pastures. In some
OF the back towns of New England and
the middle States, farms can be bought
for loss than the buildings cost, which
are every way adapted to sheep hus-
bandry, and young man, having enter

Excessive Economy.

There Is sort Of excessive economy
that makes men hateful to their friends
10 their families, and, VIC should think, 10
themselves as we'll. As beneyolence is
not benevoienee tho very moment any
body gives away that which his own
family needB-so economy must be called
by another name when a man ecouo-
mizes FAR to deprive himself Of
those common deceneies which should
separate man from a brute. We have
no patience with the farmer who, ac-
cording to his means, Is too economical 10
make the interior OF hts hose cheerful
and comfortable We have no patience
with a farmer who has no appreciation at
ali ofwhat are expreasively known as the
rehnemenls Of home.h
But what are the refnements of home
II is, unfortunately, true that each indi-
yidual must answer the question for him
self, and that consequently. in majority
Of eases, Il must be erroneously answered.
We cannot make :" a silk purse out Of

head of n dirty, needless thoughiless,
selfish man that Il is ~ much his duty 10

there are hundreds OF our readers who
are refined at heart, aud do not always
show that they are refined, simply be-
cause "the Fehncments Of home :"
have been presented 10 them in a forcible
manner. There are others who, from
education take partial or distorted view
of what every man ewes 10 his family
and every other man. For instance, we
have neighbora who own fine barns and
houses. The houses are furnished as well
as need be-sometimcs elegantly. The

The Human win.

Ones life is, after all, given somewhat
into ones own hands. If you say will
not" to any destiny that seems to shape
itself for you, the seeming destiny is apt
to undergo a decided change. There is a
great deal in will. It is the men who say,
q | will not be pooT,r who becomes rich ;
the men who think, g whatever is in me
shall come,out," who are never overcome
by the temptations of vice.
Historians have written of soldiers that
q did not know when they we're. beaten =
but these were the men who in the end
knew they were victorious; and in the
battle OF life, not to know when one is
beaten is great thing.
Disagreeable people are usually so be-
cause they make no effort to be other
wise. A man may compel himself to be
interested by fighting with an unsocial
disposition. 1t is only the woman who
declares herself homely, and makes nc
effort to dress becomingly, who is ever
actually 80 TO others.
You may leave the patch of ground a
your door neglected, or you may plant i
with roses. So may you do with YOU
life; and although, as in your gaTder
many a bud may be blighted, many {
rose wither, still it is only by mans OWL
will that he dwells in utter waste. Fo
God is merciful exceedingly, and whose
helps himself, He helps.

Dollars and Sense.

Few things are more exaggerated than
the amount Of property men own. II
they can Justly lay claim to 500, 600 of
representative value they are usually set
down at $500, 900 at least, and often ST.
000, 900. When they die their estates
are reported more nearly right; but even
then the overestimate continues. The
late Caleb Gushing is a good illustration
of this. When his decease was an
nounced, he was asserted to have left
something like 81 900, 900, which his
friends knew to be greatly enlarged,
although they believed him to have been
in very comfortable circumstances. He
had never got any money to speak OF
until he made Washington his home, and
entered upon practice there. Some
years before his death he received several
very large fees, and it was common tc
say, +" Gushing is growing rich in his old
age" It is now discovered that he has
left very little, if anything, available
not enough, even to pay some Of hii
kinsmen. Cushing was not good man
