The County Ticket.

The Republicans of Cumberland county
have put into the field one of the best tickets
they ever nominated. All the men whose
names appear on it are eminently fit for the
positions for which they are named. The
ticket should be voted as a whole by Repub-
licans, and they should not permit them-
selves to be led to cut it by solicitations OF
Democratic candidates, no matter how
strong the personal liking they entertain for
those candidates. A vo'e for any man,
Democrat or Greenbacker, on the fusion
ticket, is vote in approval of the most cor
rupt and shameless coalition that ever dis
graced the politics of this State.

MY LOVE LOVES ME.

'Tis the last bright hour of a magic time,
The waking close Of summer dream;
| shall soon be far from the ocean chime,
From the sleeping hills and the voiccfu
stream.
And | ever have fingered, 10th to part,
o sweetest of western wales, from thee;
But leave thee now with bounding heart,
For know to-day that my love loves me!
From the corn-felds, glowing with Angus
bloom,
From the soa's soft blue, from the wind
swept down,
| go to my lonely city room,
To the dust and dil of the work-worn town
But gay farewell to the golden fields,
And light adieu to the laughing sea
All longing to linger passes and Yields
To the thrill of the thought that my love
loves me.
SO cheerfully turn me to work again,
Life runs in its daily round once more;
But the stress of thought and the sweat of
brain
Have lost the hardness that erst they wore.
For with strange new glory the world is
bright,
That never before was on land or sea-
And all things move in mist of light,
For joy that know that my love loves me.
know by the touch of her tell-tale hand,
read in the rose blush bloom on her cheek
The lore that lover can understand,
The wordless language that hearts can
speak.
Yet | hunger to hear it in accents low,
And look and long for the day to be,
The golden day when sure shall know
L..
me.

One of the most important duties of the

sons from books, but that beneficial oral
instruction, those practical lessons on the
duties Of life, which should pervade en-,
tirely her intercourse with children. 1t is
thus that lessons of love, forbearance,
truth, kindliness, self-denial and generos-
ity may be deeply impressed on the docile
mind, and the seeds Of true piety and up
right behavior scattered carefully over the
prepared soil. The first care should be to
distinguish between the different disposi-
tions which nature has given to children
to strengthen the weak and vacillating,
soften the obdurate, encourage the timid,
and repress the forward eradicate weeds
and SOW good seed.
Personal influence is priMal law of
nature. God has set each person in the
household to be educated-that is, devel-
oped and carried up, step by step, through
the most critical period of his life-by the
influence Of father and mother and of
brothers and sisters. II is personal in
fluence that goes to make up the family.
The child is greeted with that influence
He is not greeted with abstract ideas; he
is not greeted with rules and regulations,
explained to him; he is not greeted with
any systematic arrangements; he is greet
ed with father and mother and brother
and sister. Everything he does in the
earlier stages Of his living is educed from
him by the direct inspiration of personal
influence. And when he goes out of the
family into school, the same thing, though
weakened and imperfect, is carried for
ward, and will be carried forward, in all
the relations Of after life, until the society
in which he moves becomes perfect.

rom the London Truth.
Mr.. Darwin, in his descent of Man"
lnclines to the belief that the beard was
originally ornamental. Ladies liked a
bearded man: he was popular in primitive
societies, could select the iairest fair, his
offspring resembled him, and so on, ac-
cording to the popular statement Of this
theory Of selection. If this view be true,
it must be admitted that women soon
changed their minds. "1here is no wife
for bearded man," says a Maori pro.
verb. The Northmen who settled in the
land were entirely Of the opposite way of
thinking, and the only reproach that his
foes brought against Nal was his lack of
beard. The Egyptians, us a rule were
clean shaven, especially the priests, land
for this they gave certain sacred reason"
which initiating Herodotus, we "do not
think it lawful to divulge." The neigh
boring Libyuns on the other hand, were
bearded, and the northern maritime ene-
mics of the Egyptians, probably the early
Greeks, wore rather thin yellow boards.
Yet ost of shaven Egypt the Isrealites

where till his beard was grown. Friends
might touch the beard in reverential

that of Amasa and ran him through the
body with his sword. The Assyrian kings
wore enormous boards, and many curled
tiers, or stories, and we have an impress
sion that some 0rientals carriedi their
boards in box. DR.. Doran, in writing
on the beard, gravely maintains that the
early Greeks were shaven and that they
called bearded and alien races "barbar.

ting close upon one side, when he raised
himself and with one sweep Of his tail the
mule was thrown on his broadside; fortu-
nately for me, fell on the of side from
the gator, completely enveloped in mud
and water; before the mule could rise,
pnother sweep Of the monsters tail passed
over him, striking the water near me,
throwing up high in the air at least q
barrel Of water; before he made the third
strike, the mule recovered, and his surg
ing and jumping having hold Of the bride

Prom Harpers for october.
Some one at the British Associations
meeting at Dublin read a paper on the
intellect ofanimals. He cited no case SO re-
markable as that of Capchino's dog, which
lives on this boat. This, and the steamer
which runs to Desenzano-fifteen miles
away, at the southwest corner Of the lake
start from Rive, at the north end Of
Garda. The dog was familiar with the
crews of both; and with the other craft,
but he had never made q trip by her.
For long time he watched her course
down the other side Of the lake, and saw
her drawing farther and farther away, un-
til she was hidden by the projecting point.
One day, his mind fully settled to its
theory, he proceeded to verify il. He
marched deliberately over to Desenzano,
took passage, came safely to Riva, and
went back TO his familiar kitchen with an
air Of entire satisfaction. He could not
be induced TO make another trip BY that
boat. He had "done" in, and had no
more worlds 10 conquer In that direction.
He had reasoned out q plan Of action, and
had found his reasoning correct.

As rule wealth is the result of indus

who has wasted his time, who has thrown

man who has not. For instance, here are
six shoemakers working in one shop. One

of wife and child. The other FIVE gentle
men work as little as they can, spend
Sunday in dissipation, have the headache
Monday, and, as result, never advance.
The industrious one, the one in love,
gains the confidence of his employer, and
in little while he cuts out work for those
other fellows. The first thing you know
he has shop of his own, the next a store,
because the man Of reputation, the man
Of character, the man of known integrity,
can buy all he wishes in the United States
upon credit. The next thing you know he
is married, and he has built HIM house.
He is happy, and his dream is realized.

having pursued the old course, stand on
the corner some Sunday when he rides by.
He has a carriage, his wife sits by his side,
her face covered with smiles, and they
have two children, their faces beaming
with joy, and the blue ribbons flutterlng
in the wind. And thereupon these FIVE
shoemakers adjourn to some neighboring
saloon and pass resolution that there is
an irrepressible conflict between capital
