The men were dull-looking, plodding
laborers; but one of them seemed en-
couraged by her air Of determination.
and, in moment, from the back of

any words Sarah tied q strong knot in
this breadth. Then she stopped down,
and, with one great heart-sinking, one
cry of the flesh against the spirit, she
lifted the rent garment from the gap

then she pressed the knot just above
the wound with all her strength.

The Wrong Window.

Some years ago old Judge Dash, of
Maine, accompanied by his wife, visited
New York. The Judge 'put up'' at the
tavern down by the Battery. Before re-
firing for the night, and after Mrs. Dash
had retired, the Judge would have a
bath. Having performed his ablutions,
the Judge looked around for some recep-
tacle into which he might turn the
contents of his washbowl.
There was nothing at hand, and
rather than summon q servant, the old
gentleman conceived the idea of throw
ing the water out of the window.
So, mounting chair, he opened a
little square window, which he thought
opened into the back yard, and putting
the bowl through it, deliberately emp
tied its contents.
A howl Of rage greeted the ears of the
good old ju dge, accompanied by female
cries, and loud objurations in a mascu-
line voice.
"What in creation are you up to?"
shouted somebody.
"What in creation are you prowling
around at this time o'night for 2" replied
the Judge.
"You ought to be at home with y'r
wife and children"
But the poor fellow outside had been
quietly sleeping in bed with his better
half, and the little window which the
Judge had opened was intended as a
ventilator for both rooms. The judge
had so completely drowned out his
neighbors that they were Obliged to seek
another room.

A Good Hint.

Rev. Mr.-had travelled far to preach
to a congregation at -. After the
sermon he waited very patiently, evi-
IDENTIFY expecting some of the brethren
to invite him to dinner. In this he was
disappointed. One after another depart
ed, until the house was almost as empty
as the minister's stomach. Summoning
resolution, however, he walked up to an
elderly-looking gentleman, and gravely
said: "Will you go home to dinner with
me, to-day, brother ?'
"Where do you live 7"
"About twenty miles from this, SIR"
"No," said the man, coloring; "but
you must go with me-"
"Thank you'll will cheerfully."
After that time the minister was no
more troubled about his dinner.

Rsg Frederick the Great was always
very fond of disputation; but as he gen.
orally terminated the discussion by col
laring his antagonist, and kicking his
shins, few of his guests were disposed to
enter the arena against him. One day,
when he was even more disposed than
usual for an argument, he asked one of
his suite why he did not venture to give
his opinion on some particular question.
"It is impossible, your Majesty" was
the reply, "to express an opinion before
sovereign who has such very strong
convictions, and who sOeors such very
thick boots.

SAYS the st. Louis Globe Democrat, speak
ing of the Democracy: "They know that
unless they can carry New York they cannot
elect their ticket in 1880. They know that
by repeating the frauds of 1868, by which
$1,000 illegal votes were counted for their
ticket in New York city, and the State was
given to Seymour, they can secure the Elec-
toral vote of New York in 1880. This is why
the country is brought face to face with the
gravest danger that has threatened it since
the same party put its rebellious hands to the
throat of the government in 1861. The duty
of Mr. Hayes is plain as MONDAY. He must
stand up for the right regardless of conse-
quences. The Bourbons cannot pass their
repeal bill over his veto, and if, wheE that
fails, they see fit to create a dead lock, the
responsibility must rest upon their heads.
The loyal and honest men of all sections and
all parties should lift their voices in con-
demnation of the wicked programme of the
Democrats and in support of the Republican
position"

Ef the Union was worth fighting fer il ia
werth paying for.
The Drift In Maize

The work accomplished by our -, = =. a.
ment and reform" Legislature does no.. j, we
may judge by the returns of the town e,ec-
tions, favorably impress the people of Maine.
Indeed it is intimated that the Legislature
itself adjourned under the conviction that If
had done little or nothing to entitle it to
positive praise or even gentle remembrance.
Many of the Greenback members certainly
left the capital disappointed men. They
went there with the idea that they
were going to do the State some service.
They came away acknowledging that the
only thing they had succeeded in doing was
rendering service to the Democratic party.
They now feel they have been betrayed by
their leaders who have sold out the Green
back party for consideration, more or less
valuable, to the Democracy, and they strong
ly object to the delivery of the goods.
Naturally the feeling of revolt and disgust
has made itself felt at the town elections.
Many men who went into the Greenback
movement from honest motives have no
mind to see that movement converted into a
political machine for the furtherance of Dem
ocratc success. Their warfare was upon
both the old parties, but if called upon to
choose between the two they will choose the
Republican. The leaders of the Greenback
organization appear to look npon it as half
way house to Democracy. Many of the rank
and file heartily detest both the principles
and the methods of the Democratic party,
and will abide with no political society whose
object is TO win Democratic recruits. They
see that they have been misled and deceived
and they are fastening back to the old party
ranks. Wherever they have struck hands
with the Democrats the success which at
tended the coalition has been heralded as a
Democratic success, as an expression of pop
ular sentiment in favor of the Democratic
policy in Congress, in favor of extrayagant
expenditures, in favor of the repeal Of the
wise and salutary measures enacted by Re-
publicaDs for the protection OF the freedom
and purity of the ballot-box, in favor of the
indirect pensioning OF Confederate soldiers,
in favor of extreme State rights doctrine and
of all the political heresies with which the
Democratic party is identified. Seeing this
they have called halt, turned from their
leaders, and are now coming back to the
party with which they are at one on all is
sues except that OF the currency.
