The more see of the world, the
more l am satisfied that simplicity is
lnseperacle the companion of true
greatness. never yet knew a truly
great man-who over-topped his iel'
low-men-wbo did not possess a GER
tain playful almost infantile simplicity.
True greatness never struts or stiits,
or plays the king upon the stage
Conscious of its elevation, and know
ing in what that elevation consists, ii
is happy to act its part like other men,
in common amusemonts and business
of mankind. 1t is not afraid OF being
undervaIued for its humanity. .-Paul0

pei Jas. w. Vale to marry her. Vale
is wealthy banker in Port Washing
ton Wis. Miss Fowler was his child
ren's teacher, he beng widower.
He proposed marriage. but afterwards
changed his mind. Miss Fowler EN-
ployed a lawyer TO sue Vale Tor
damages, hoping to bring about q
marriage IN that way, but Vale readily
payed on demand the $4,000 that was
asled. That put civil suit out OF

appeal to Vale to keep his promise,
but he refused. Then she sent the
$4,000 back to him AMI swallowed a
fatal dose Of poison.

HOW SHE SUBMITTED.

said Herbert Ainscodrt.
"Of course-I dare say responded
Mr.. Portcross, But what's your ex'
act idea OF the best wife in the world
Jones says he has got the best wife
in the world, because she keeps his
stockings darncd, takes him TO church
three times Sunday. and never lets
him have an idea Of his own. Jenk.
ins says ho has got the same identical
article, but Jnks' wife keeps all the
money, draws his salary for hlm and
makes him live in tho back kitchen
because the pa:lor is too good for the
family use"
ooh ! but Daisy is not a bit ogroisl,
"A little, submissive, soft-volced
thing that hasn't an idea except what
is reflected from me. | tell you what
old fellow, ! am master of my own
house ; come when please, and 60
when l please. Daisy never ventures
on Il word of reproach."
Then you ought to be ashamed OF
yourself, larking around at the clubs
as YOU do, dssipated-bachelor fashion.
"Ashamod what off,
Why, ! suppose you owe some
duties to your wife,"
"Where's the harm I My wife
does not object"
"Probably you think so because she
is quiet and submissive but if she
were to Object
"Object I'd like to have her try
it,
"Now look here, Ainscourt, your
wife may be model wife, but you
certainly are not a model husband.
People are beginning to talk about
the way you neglect that pretty blue
eyed girl
T'll thank people to mind their
own business. Neglect her WHY
man, l love her as do my own SOUL"
"Then why don't you treat her as
though you did ?"
"Oh, come, Portcross, that question
shows what a regular old bachelor
you are. 1t won't do to make to
much of your wife unless you want
to spoil her."
Mr.. Protcross shook his head.
"That sounds selfish. / don't like
the ring OF that metal
And he went away, leaving Mr..
Ainscourt to finish his game of billiards
at leisure.
"What a regular old fuss. budget
Protcross is," laughed the latter.

body's business. There is one COM
fort-l never pay any attention to
what he says"
Meanwhile Mrs. Ainscourt was SIT
ting alone in her drawing.room, her
two little white hands locked in one
another, and her fair head dropping
"a delicate little apple.blossom of a
woman, with blue wishful eyes and
curly faxen hair, looking more like a
grown-up child than a wife OF twenty
one summers.

time with me nowadays, and ] prac-
tice all his favore,e songs, and talk a.
bout the things he is interested in,

And then her oval face frightened
tito sudden brilliancy, and the spark
les stole into her eyes /; for the quick
ear had detected her husbands foot
step on the stails. The next moment
he came in.

The Jews had no sirnames, nor had
the early Greeks and Romans. Lat
ty,ly the Romans used three names;
the first corresponding to our Christ
IAN name, the second the class or rank
name, the third the family name.
Modern surnames began to be used
about the tenth century, when mobiles
took the name of their estates; middle
class sons of their fathers, as johnson,
Thompson, etc. and others OF trades,
as Smith, Cooper, Tailor, etc, Fancy
names were also were given to found
lings, and nickames became surnames.

Reflect that life at best is but short,
and that we cannot afford to suffer
any part of it to run to waste. In
youth You must lay in q stock Of
kno wledgs which may carry you
through life, whatever your after pur-
suits may be, with usefulness and hon.
or. But recollect, this is not to be
done without exertion, without the
frequent sacrifice of momentary pleas
ure and qualification. Self.denial is a
virtue of the highest quality, and he
who has it not, ard does not strive to
acquire it, will never excel in any
thing.

"Thc matter ? Nothing much, only

"Because you are so changed, Daisy"
"IIow am changed''
"You are never at home; YOU

The Republican organs Of the North are
certain that Mississippi will send JEFF
Davis to the Senate in place Of Bruce. The
Philadelphia Times touches on that point in
the following fashion: Finding that the
Cincinnati Commercial and the Baltimore
American could not slngle-handed elect
JEFF Davis TO the Senate from Mississippi,
the New York Tribune and the Philadelphia
Press have got into the breach. With four
such powerful newspapers as these running
him for the high position-aided by an oc-
casional brilliant dash Of the North Ameri.
can and the Okalona States--there ought to
be no kind Of doubt about getting Mr.,

fact that he is opposed to it himself, that
he says he won't serve, and regardless Of the
trAing matter that he is ineligible anyway

WHAT THE ISSUE WILL BE.

Republican journals affect the belief that
the battle of 1880 will be fought to deter
mine anew if States have the right to seccde
from the Union. It is true that SINGLE
solitary individual outside of the Repub-
lican organization, cannot be found, north
or south, who proposes TO take the atlrma-
tive ofsuch proposition; but what of thatf
As usual thing Republican editor will
work harder to make the people believe a
lie, than he will to disseminate the truth.
In discussing the probable character of
the contest OF next year the Alton Demo-
crat forecasts the nature Of the struggle,
when it says that the issue will doubtless be
joined on the question of States rights, but
not the notification ideas of Calhoun, nor
the secession doctrine of the Southern peo-
pie ii 1860, but the theory that the States
have certain rights reserved to them, and
the General Government is not supreme, ex-
cept where the Constitution directly gives
that supremacy to it.
1t will be contest between the preser-
walton OF State lines, and the centrali2ing
tendencies of the Republican party.
twill be contest in which the Demo
Gratis, unfolding the constitutional rights
of the states, will vindicate the theory Of
the founders of our government and its
early statesmen. twill be a contest into
which the Democracy will &c bearing upon
their standards the old Jacksonian idea Of
the federal union and states rights
OF course, the United States is a nation,
the Republicans need not be SO emphatic
abou. the is but the United States is not
and never will be country governed by
Dictator, and the Governors Of the States
mere satraps to do his bidding Centraliza
ton has been the bane Of all Republics,
and if tolerated in this nation will cause
as much ruin and disaster as the equally |
infamous doctrine of secession. The true |
and best theory-that maintained by the |
Democrats-hes between them, which is |
that the constitution conters certain rights
upon the general government, but beyond
that they can not go. 1t can not interfere in
the affair Of State upon mere preteXt,
nor can it control the election of a State, !
except in the manner prescribed by the |
constitution.
The position of the Democrats in regard
to this matter is very concisely stated by
Judge Story in his decision of the case of
Martin VS., Hunter, when he says; The
Government OF the United States can claim
no powers which are not granted to it by
the constitution, and the powers actually
granted must be such as are expressly
granted or given by necessary implication"
In other words, the Democratic hold, as
Alexander Hamilton held, that the States
clearly retain, after adopting the constitu-
ton, all the rights and sovereignty which
they before had, and which were not by |
that act delegated to the United States"
So says the federal constitution; 50 says |
the Democratic party.
