CORRESPONDENT says H pratio Seymour, in spite
of his repeated refusal to accept the office, Is
to-day the most prominent candidate for Gov
ernor in the State of New York. Ctrcnm-
stances have conspiced recently to bring his
name before the people, and when that name
is mentioned it awakens enthusiasm which no
other name can raise.
The Rochester U5ljon also says: The Union
made no mistake when a week ago 1t named
Horatio Seymour as the man to whom the
Democrats OF the State turned their eyes IL
this emergency. This is the man who can be
relied upon as the leader OF the whole party,
and not of faction.
Other authorities assert that the use OF
Seymours name IS only mask to cover the
designs of R,binson's opponents, who viii at
a favorable time disclose their rea, preference
for Sanford E. Church.

that lives, it pays to live. 1t pays some
men to live that they may make money
and command the power that money
brings. To what enormous tolls and
sacrifices the love and pursuit of money
urge a great multitude of menl The
Judgment of these men as to whether
life is worth living is not to be taken at
life's close, when they sum up their
possessions and what they have cost,
but while they are living and acting.
A man whose life is exhausted may
well conclude that what he has won is
vanity; but it was not vanity to him
while he was winning it, and in the full
possession of his powers he believed
that life was worth living.
Life is quite worth living to all those
who find engaging objects of pursuit,
and especially to those who win success
in their pursuits. We repeat, therefore,
that, by almost a unanimous vote, the
human race practically decides every
day that life is worth living. We should
be the last to claim that happiness is
the highest aim of life, and that, unless
that is secured, life is failure, and not
worth living. To do right, to sacrifice
one's self for love--these are better
things than pleasure. To love and to
be loved-these are things that pay.
To be conscious of nobility of character
and unselishness of life; TO be conscious
that our lives are brought into affection
ate relations with other and harmonious
life-what are these but life's highest
valuesP What are these but the highest
satisfaction of conscious beingP
If this be true-that character and
duty and love are better than pleasure
and better than any success without
who needs to say that life is not worth
living. G. Holland, in Scri6ner for
MO7je91lbeY

Knew When He'd Had Enough.

In the year 1859, made the cele-
brated trip with Prof. John La Mount
ain, from Watertown, N. Y, which was
the second longest trip ever made by
an air ship, and the only one l ever
heard of where second ascension was
made after remaining eight hours at
night tied up to the top of tree. Like
Professor Wise's late ascension, we
started near night, and in the same
month, September. We travelled over
400 miles in little over four hours, but
whittier we were being borne, or how
fast we were travelling, we were as
ignorant as two children, for it was
dark night, and in o balloon you can
never tell your course of fight unless
you can see the earth. Instead of being
thirty or forty miles from home, as we
supposed when we anchored to a tall
tree for daylight, we were 400 miles
from our starting point, and instead of
being in an inhabited country not far
from some friendly farm house, we
were in the great Bosketong wilderness
in Canada, which extends from the
river Ottawa on the South to the Arctic
Circle on the North. l will not further
enter upon details, save to say that,
after thirteen days of the most painful
absence, we at last worked our way out
to civilization, two of the raggedest and
diStrait, but gladdest men that ever
lived. From that time three square
meals day, and store clothes, and tele-
graph offices, all assumed new import
ance to US, and / made up my mind
that a balloon might be good thing
for professors to fool around with,
but for a So steady thing" the solid earth
was good enou gh for me."-John d.
Raddock, IN the Philadelphia Times.
