There was q gypsy wedding in 3
probate court in Columbus, O.,

and three children belonging to the
band Of wanderers presented them
selves at the court and asked for q

a shawl Of many colors and = COM

Of her sisters wore white satin

Words of w isdom.

The world is governed by three
thing wisdom, authority and ap-
pearances. Wisdom is for thoughtful
people, authority for rough people,
and appearance for the great mass of
superficial people who can look only
at the outside.
Seek not to please the world, but
our own conscience. The man who
las a feeling within him that he has
done his duty upon every occasion is
happier than lie who hangs upon the
smiles Of the great or the still more
tickle favors of the multitude.
Flatterers are the worst kind of
traitors, for they will strengthen y our
lmperfections, encourage you in all
evils, correct you in nothing, but so
shadow and paint your tollies aud
vices as you shall never, by their will, /,
discover good from evil, or vice from
virtue,
Imaginary evils soon become real
ones by indulging our reflections on
them; as he, who in a melancholy
fancy sees something like face on
the wall or wainscot, can, by two or
three touches with lead pencil, max 9
it look vioible, and agreeing with
what he fanci-d.

A Conservative Programme.

Advices received here from Dem o.
tic leaders of high national repute,
especially from Southern public men,
leave no doubt that broadly nation
al and conservative course will be
the Democratic policy the coming
winter. Zealots will be made to ta;e
back seats. Passionate defamation,
tropical rhetoric and sectional recri-
mination win be severely sc, down
upon. Suck safe and conservative
leaders as Bayard, Whyte, Kenan,
Randolph, 6 ordon, L. mar and Ran.
som will deeAonstrate that the Demo-
cracy ofall sections are anxious for a
cordial alignment with the national
feeling, the character, capital and
respcctability of the country. Tn
Republicans will be furnished with no
more campaign thunder in the shape
of foolish utterances ofexcit,d d oratory
addressed to back woods audiences at
home rather than to the int diligence
of Congress and the country. With
the advantage Of the handsome vict-
ory in New York and with 10 handi.
cap of silly utterancea from would-be
leaders i'll Congress, the best inform
ed Democrats here claim that the
party is sure Of u substantial and en-
during victory next year.

The Pluck Of the Democracy.

We are never .lore impressed with
the wonderful vitality and rugged
power of the Democratic party than
iii the days of its defeat The sur.
prise is not in tho election Of Tuesday
last that the Democrats, burdened as
they we're, suffered defeat, but that
they were able to exhibit such strength
and resolution. Surely there
never was more unkindness shown a
party in preparing it for combat The
issues were awful, yet under these
clrcumstances-such that it ought to
be a matter of surprise that there is Il
Democractic vote to each Ohio town.
ship-the old party comes out grim
as an army of veterans, and fights to
the bitter end, in the spirit of the sol
diers of Russia, Of whom it is said it
is not sufficient to kill them, they
must be knoc ked down after they are
dead. Now, we are able to rejoice
that this surprising host was discom-
fited-beaten few per cent, in
prodigious vote, aud we know that
under the gloom of their defeat there
may be disappointment and resent
ment, but never Encouragement. On
the next occasi IN they will turn out
again with full rank. Com

schooling that Does not Educate.

The whole tendency of modern edu-
cation is to lift boys and girls to pla-
ccs they are not fitted to fill, to dis
gust them with work which they are
fitted to do, which must be done and
which can be easily obtained. Our
theory of education is continually los-
ing sight of fact which never per-
mits itself to be ignored, and teach
ing the young to lose sight of it, that
the mass of people i'll every gener-
alton and under whatever form of
Government, must be laborers. The
Ole herrsy that every boy has u
chance to be President Of the United
States has done more mischief in the
small brains of boys who, when they
attain manhood's 8 rength, ere fitted
to dig trenches and do nothing else,
than it has even in larger brains Of
public men who, once bitten with the
personal application Of the idea, are
good for nothing afterward. The boy
should have an education which,
when completed, will make the sub
ject better fitted to pursue well the
work for which he is fitted; which
makes him not ashamed to do it, and
which thus dignifes labor.

Immigrants Must be Solicited.

locate in Georgia. While the north
west is rapidly filling up, and the
greet valleys and plains Of that rogio n
are being dotted with splendid farm s
and beautiful villages, the south, with
her rich soil and genial climate, is
passed by almost unnoticed. Texas
alone, of all the Southern States, is
reaping any benefit from the thous
ands of immigrants who annually
leave Europe in search Of hom es in
this country. If the Southern States
want immigrants, they must seek them
as Texas and the States Of the west
seek them. Immigrants will not go
to section of which they know moth

TO enlighten them.-Ncw Orlc ans

A Beautiful Extract.

The glory of summer has gone by
the beautiful greenncss has become
milhered and dead. Were this all
were there no assoc ations OF moral
desolatiom-of faded hopes-of hearts
wilhering in the bosoms of the living
: connected with the decuying seen
cry around us, we would not indulge
III a moments melancholy. The sea
sons Of flowers will come again; the
streams will flow gracefully as before;
the trees will again toss their cum
brous heads ofgreenness to the wind
ing rivulet, the coming bosoms will
start up mt the bidding Of their guard
ian. But the humln heart has no
such change like that of nature. at
has no returning spring time" Once
blishted in its hour Of freshness, it
bears forever the mark of the spoiler.
The dews Of affection may fall, and
the gentle rain of sympathy be Law
ished upon it-but the stone Of blight
ed feeling will never again wakon
into life-nor the crushed flowers OF
hope blossom with their wonted beau
ty.

In the Detroit Police Court.
A woman old, with spirit bold,

A splendid epread, for any bed,
And worked with greatest care.


She had brought that spread forty

mentous hour arrived, her spread
was left out in the cold The woman
hadn't yet recovered from her shock
when along came Andrew Whitcomb,
picked up corner of the spread, and
called out:
Hey, old woman, how much for
this hoss-bIanket'
That was too much The woman
pick ed up n handy broom handle and
gave him several first premiums over
the head. Andrew escaped to the
street, pulled off his coat, ani he was
daring the old lady and her bedspread
to come on when policeman took

arrow that remained quivering in tho

In political way whata power
for good is ap honest, open, outspok-
en- and independent newspaper. The
dishonest man fears the newspapers.
for they will expose his vain trickery
to the public. The newspapers are
the ever faithful watchmen upon the
walls of peoples liberties, ready ut
all times to sound the alarm upon the
approach of danger and to contend
to the death against tho encroach-
ments of an enemy. No enemy to
justice or liberty can pass unnoticcd

diversity of opinion, even among the
judges, as to the true Interpretation of
the homestead law in regard to exemp-
ton, but on one point they are all agreed,
that tho crops raised upon ether than the
homestead is not exempt from levy and
sale. Your horse and COW cannot be
taken, but the very corn upon which you
are to feed your stock and your wife and
children may be all taken. Under this
construction Of the law, constable re-
Gently went to levy upon the corn, which
was raised upon the lands of another for
the support CT the family. The husband
was not at home, but the wife, with true
womanly courage, planted herself IN the
door of the house, saying: ~ helped to
make that corn to feed my children, and
you can't take it, except by wading
through my blood" The justice of the
claim never entered that poor woman's
brain ; indeed, she would no doubt have
conceded that at once, but it was q ques-
ton that rose higher and above that,
question of bread for my poor children or
starvation. Who would have done other

many cases it is question of bread for
