1HE MENDELssoHN Piano Co, No 81 East 18th
Street, N Z, whose advertisement appears else
where, is selling Pianos direct to the people at
FACTORY Prices, without the intervention of
agents or dealers thereby saving them more than
0ae-hGJ the prices usually charged for strictly
FTSt-etGSS instruments.
The leading papers of the country speak in the
very highest terms of the Company and their Pr
amos, as viii be seen in the following extracts
selected from their Catalogue:

Christian COndnef

Conduct is language that all can nm
derstand; and If it be true that actions
speak louder than words, then ali nav nav,
preach the Gospel in the distinct and
earnest and powerful eloouence of a
holy life. All may plead for religion
with living argument, all proclaim its
excellence by conduct which is without
reproacn and above suspicion. This is
mode of preaching which men cannot
avoid hearing. which they must respect,
which they will feel. Said an infidel of
an eminently pious man, q never see
him without feeling my own unworthi-
ness; he is a constant reproof to me, tn
sight of him has often made m

7 VAS WITH GRANT.
BY BRET HARTE.

II was with Grant," the stranger said;
Said the farmer, "Say no more,
But rest thee here at my cottage porch,
For thy feet are weary and sore"
4 was with Grant," tie stranger said;
Said the farmer, Nay, no more
Iprithee sit at my frugal board,
And eat of my hum bic store.
Glow fares my boy-my soldier boy,
OF the old Ninth Army COrpSI
warrant he bore him gallantly
In the smoke and battieS roar"
II know him not said the aged man,
And. as remarked before,
was with Grant" NAY, nay, / know
Said the farmer, "say no more
HE fell in battle-I see. alasI
Thou didst smooth these tidings DER
Nay: speak the truth, whatever it be,
Though it Iend my bosom core.
''How fell he? with his face to the foe,
UNFOLDING the lag he bore!
Oh. say not that my boy disgraced
The uniform that he worel'
u cannot tell said the aged man,
And should have remarked before,
That | was with GTant-in Illinois
Some three gears before the lCdr!'
Then the farmer spake him never word,
But beat with his fist full sore
That aged mao who had IUOrEed for Grant
Some three years before the war.

Carrier Pigeons i'm Germany.

Every large fortress in Germany is
provided with trained carrier pigeons,
and the officers are made familiar with
their use, so that in event of war they
could be made of immense advantage
in communicating with various points
independent of the telegraph, which
might be tempered with.

4 Submerged PROVINCE.

The province of Catamarca is in the
western part of the Argentine Republic,
South America, and contains district
named Chacras. Since the earth
quakes on the Pacific coast, this dis
trict has become gradually submerged,
by the formation of a lake, which, at
last accounts, was continually increasing
in extent.

A Thought on Future Retribution.

Whatever Henry Ward Beecher or any ore else
may think, or theOriZe, concerning the doctrine
OF future retrbut;On, certain it is that nature is
an incorporating believer in its certainty and
justice. Do yourself the wllful injury of violat-
ing the conditions of health, her retibution is
sure and often apparently far exceeding IN pro-
portion the sin. Late hours, irregular meals,
overeating, excuses of all kinds, are followed by
I" liver complaint dyspepsia, and sympathetic
disorders OF the brain. In women the same ex-
cesses. augmented by the wearing of tight or in
sufficient clothing, the suspension of heavy skirts
from the hips, etc, invariably produce those
weaknesses and diseases peculiar to the SEX
Repeated attacAs oil cold, due to exposure, inev-
itably produce catarrh, and in some cases Goa
sumption. The liberal party have one argument
n their favor in the fact that Dr. PIerces Family
Medicines are sure aud efficient remedies for
these retributive diseases. The Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, for the
diseases of the stomach and liver, arc unexcelled,
while the Favorite Prescription enjoys the high
est reputation of all remedies for female diseases
and weaknesses.

to him several times, raising and lower

of its noise, or of the different appearan-
ces when raised and lowered.
Now turn him around and put
him between the shafts, rub
them against his sides, push back

the whole of the previous days lesson

third and fourth days. He my then be

ing up and down hill, turning, etc. First
start on level ground. If these direc-
tons are carried out, the colt learns
that the vehicle he draws is not meant
to hurt him, and he will never try to
"kick it away" or "run of " from It,.
Never try to beat colt into doing a
thing, for, if nervous, he may turn out
vicious horse, and if stupid he may
become stubborn. Remember that by
patience and gentleness he can be got
to do anything that will not hurt
him. When the horse shows signs of
shying at an object, do not beat him,
but lead him up to it, allowing him to
stand and look, as he comes closer; and
after he examines it few times he will
not fear anything CT the kind again.
In passing by hedges with colt. throw
in stones and stop him until he takes
no notice of the noise. Before putting
on any article of harness, let your colt
smell it, and then rub against his head,
neck and body. Always start horse

The Irish Citizen of last week, says:
"That Governor Bishop was entitled
to denomination no Democrat dare de-
ny; that this precedent of our party
should be violated .tor the first time, is
most grievous to the friends of Governor
Bishop. Every Governor, from the days
of General jackson, was renominated.
Robert Lucas was renominated and re-
elected. Wilson Shannon was renom-
mated and defeated for election, but was
again renominated and then elected.
Reuben Wood was renominated and re-
elected, after the adoption of the Consti-
tuition of 1851. When he resigned in
1853, Lieutenant Governor Medill be-
came Governor, having already been
nominated for Governor by the DemOe-
racy at the 9Th of January Convention,
1858. He was elected at the October
election of that year, and served out a
full term after having served out Reuben
Woods unexpired term. He was renom-
mated in 1855 and beaten by Chase.
William Allen was the next Democratic
Governor, and was renominated. In the
light of these precedents the Democracy
of Ohio should have renominated Cover
nor Bishop.
1.-The ticket as it now stands-'Ewing
and Rice-has very little in it to inspire
with enthusiasm the Irish Democracy of
Ohio. The addition to it of Charles
Reemelin, for Auditor of State, makes it
still more unpalatable. If the Conven-
tion had exercised all of its capabilities
to give the people of Hamilton county a
man moro obnoxious to all classes of
Democratic voters than Charles Reeme-
lin, it could not possibly have succeeded
better. While it is true that this gen.
tleman has the qualifications to make an
acceptable Auditor, it is equally true
that his crusty disposition and his polit-
ical record (being kicker on several
OccasiOns) make him the weakest candi-
date on the ticket so far as Hamilton
County is concerned"

Growing Old.

Is it parting with the rouldness
OF the smOOthly-dimpled cheek?
Il it losing from the dimple
Half the flashing joy they speak?
Is it fading of the luster
From the wavy, golden hairr
Is it finding on the forehead
Graver lines of thought and carer
Is it dropping-as the rose leaves
Drop their sweetness. oyerbloWn-
Household names that once were dearel
More familiar than our owng
Is it meeting on the pathway
Faces strange and glances cold,
While the soul with moan and shiver,
Whispers sadly, Growing Old!
Is it frowniag at the folly
OF the ardent hopes of youth?
Is it cynic melancholy
At the rarity of truth?
Is it disbelief in loving,
Selfish hate, or misers greed?
Then, such blight of natures nOblest
Is growing old' indeed.
But the silver thread that shineth
Whitley in tine thinning trees,
And the pallOr where the bloom was
Need not tell of bitterness.
And the brOw's more earnest writing,
Where it once was marble fair,
May be but the SPIRITS tracing
OF the peace of answered prayer.
If the smiles have gone in deeper,
And the tears more quickly start
Both together meet in music
Low and tender in the heartl
And in others joy and gladness.
When the life can find its own,
Surely angels lean to listen
To the sweetness of the tone.
Nothing lost of all we planted.
In the time of budding leaves;
Only something bound in bundles,
And set by our precious sheaves-
Only treasure kept in safety,
Out of reach and out of rust,
Till we clasp it-grown the richer
Through the glory Of our trust!
On the gradual slOping pathway.
AS the passing years decline,
Cleans golden love-light, falling
Far from upper heights divine;
And the shadows from that brightnes
Wrap them softly in then fold,
Who unto celestial whiteness
Walk by way of Growing old"
