CAN'T no WITHOUT PAPER.

A subscriber sends the following lines, VII
the statement that although not original, tht
express his sentiments exactly:
What, do without paper! No,
I've tried it to my sorrow,
So, to subscribe for one I'll 90,
Nor wait until tomorrow;
Should lovers hang or drown themselves,
Or other foolish caper,
never get to hear ofit-
do not take the paper.
Why, there's my neighbor, Toby Stout,
He always reads the news,
And having it to talk about,
He never has the "blues; -
While others yawn in ennui,
His mind is light as vapor;
The cause is plain to half an eye
He always takes the paper.
While neighbor Stout hears all the news,
And knows each current price,
And always minds the p's and q's,
By taking good advice;
I cannot tell the price of grain,
Ofpoultry, coffee, taper,
Or any kind of merchandise
Because I take no paper.
Though have studies which require
Much time and mental labor,
Yet can spare little time,
AS well as Stout my neighbor;
Though time is precious, I can use
A longer midnight taper,
And thus find time to read the news;
Therefore, III take the paper.

a@ DR.. Judson believed that when any man
becomes Christian, real disciple Of Christ,
a specific moral change takes place in his
spiritual natnre. The essential elements of
this change are, deep and universal sorrow
for the sins of his past life, an entire renun-
citation of all hope of salvat on by any merits
of his own, an unreserved surrender of him
self to Christ, relying on him alone for pardon
and acceptance with God, and an earnest de-
sire to live henceforth in obedience to all the
requirements of the Gospel, and that these
spiritual exercises terminate in radical
change of the moral characters, leading to
pure and holy life.- Waylands Memoir Of

FOOD TO MAKE FLEsH.-Sugar, syrup, fresh
cheese, wheaton grits, homfny, juicy meats,
are the foods to make flesh. Almost any wo-
man will get plump on brown bread and wheat
en- grits, or oatmeal eaten twice day, with
plenty of meat and vegetables at breakfast,
and supper of brown biscuit, with sweet
meats, cheese and cream, or coffee drank with
plenty of sugar and cream. 1t is not neceSsa-
ry to eat largely if the appetite does not crave
it; but the food must be tempting, and if hun
ger is keen, one who would be plump and spir
tied should not be afraid to indulge it. Un-
relishing, distasteful food, will not noursh
and stimulate like what isapiquant and savory
and changed in variety day by day.-Scientifc

@ A breeder of poultry says: "Farmers will
feed a bushel Of corn to produce six pounds of
pork, while the same amount of corn will keep
a good laying hen one year, and she will pro-
duce at least twelve dozen eggs averaging
eighteen cents per dozen, which would equal
two dollars and sixteen cents in addition, she
would rear brood of chicks, worth as much
more, making total of nearly five dollars,
against six pounds of pork at ten cents, equal
ing sixty cents; or, in other words, the hen
will Weld seven times as much for the feed"
@ The following is sure cure for hog chol-
era: Boil corn with poke root and feed freely
to hogs. 1t is sure cure and will prevent
the disease from spreading; and it is pre-

HELP THAT HURTs.-Rev. R. NJ. Patter-
son, D. D., of Philadelphia, remarkably
observant and intelligent pastor, said in his
paper before the Council:
"One particularly disgraceful phase of that
general inconsistency of the Christian life
which is so harmful to the progress of Christs
cause, may be noted the growing disposition
to administer churches as if it was part of
their mission to provide entertainment for the
people. Fairs, concerts, comical lectures, oys-
ter suppers, turning the dedicated house of
worship into place of hilarious amusement,
are fearfully demoralizing to the religious
life. They dispiritualize the people; merge
the high sense of obligation into pleasure
seeking blot out that line of demarkation
between the world and Church, which cannot
be destroyed without debasing the one and
aAording rare comfort to the other in its sins.
The piety of congregations which tolerate
such things has lost the high old Puritan
type. They are full of weaklings, with itch
ing ears and sensual stomachs, who measure
a church by its amusement-producing capaci-
ty. In the end no congregation gains by hav'
ing them

HANcocK,s CONSPIRACY

Apropos of the statement in the Repubii-
can papers that at the time of Gen. McClel-
lan's removal from the command of the
army of the Potomac Gen. Hancock en-
tered into conspiracy to move the troops
under his command on Washington and de-
pose Lincoln and Stanton, an officer of the
regular army, prominent for his bravery
during the war, and since then pro-
nounced Republican, writes to Gen. Han
cock in these words;
Do you remember in the fall of 1862, when
at Warrenton, Va, after the victory OF Ante
TAM and when Gen. Mcclellan was finally re-
moyed-do you RENE mber the disgust and in
diguation expressed by men and officers of the
army of the Potomac? Do you remember the
circumstance of a delegation of the officers,
colonies and generals of the division you COM
manded, calling on you on this subject!
was made the spokesman for the crowd.
said to you: General the officers of your
command have called on you to express,
through me. their disgust at the removal of
Gen. McClellan."e
Do you remember your answer? You
stopped me quickly and said: Gentlemen,
we soldiers of the army of the Potomac are
serving no man. We are serving our countryT'
Gen. Hancock's conduct on this occasion
was characteristic. His motto was first of
all, his country. He fought for his country
and bled for his country. He served no
man. Though he was devotedly attached
to Mcclellan, and would have laid down his
life in his protection, he felt a still higher
duty to be due to his country, and SO he
stayed the spirit of revolt in it's incipiency
and together with his associates marched
onward to battle under new commander.
Had he chosen he might have worked mis-
chief, but he was too patriotic to do so, but
instead ordered his men into line to fight
for the preservation of the Union as the first
and greatest duty. So it will be when Gen.
Hancock shall be elected President. His
first thought will be for the best interests of
the country. Other considerations must be
subssrvient to the one central idea that has
been the chief impulse of his whole life.
The only ''oonspiracy'' in which he is capa
BILE of engaging is one having for its obje ct
the preservation of the republic in all its
original integrity, and to that he will devote
his life, his fortune and his sacred honor.

In the case of Chittendon vs.. Mcclellan ct
al, recently before the United States circuit
court for Illinois, Justice Swayne delivered
the opinion of the court in October last. In
that opinion he made use of the following
language as to Garfeld's fee of five thou.
sand dollars:
The agreement with Gen. Garfield, a mem
Der of Congress, to pay HIM IS, 600 as q contin-
gent fee for recurring contract, which was
itself made to depend upon future appropria.
ton by Congress. which appropriation could
only come from a committee of which he was
chairman, was a sale of official influence which
no veil can cover against the plainest principles
of public policy. No counselor at law while
holding high Office (much less ministers of the
gospel, etc. has right to put himself in q
position of temptation, and, under pretense Of
making legal argument exert his official in
fuence upon political officers dependent upon
his future action. Certainly the courts Of
justice will never lend themselves to enforce
contracts obtained by such influence.
These sentences are worthy of considera
ton by every voter in the country. Is mar
whose conduct merited such condemnation
from Justice of the supreme court worthy
to be trusted at the head of the government

Why Blaine Is Alarmed for Maine.
Boston Post |


Charles Shaw, of Maine, one of Penobscot
county's most prominent and wealthy men,
has renounced his allegiance to the Republi-
can party. If this is true, the Republicans
of Maine have suffered another great loss.
Mr.. Shaw has been one of the most energet-
ic workers in all past campaigns.
Gardiner G. Vose, an Augusta lawyer who
has represented that city in the legislature,
has come out for Hancock for President and
Plaisted for governor.
Loring w. Farr, another Republican how
holding Office under Republican administra-
ton in Augusta, announces that he shall sup
port Hancock and Plaisted.
Since lawyer Powers, of Newport, Maine,
came out for Hancock and PIasted he has
been reinforced by James NJ. Ssuborn, Hon.
Elliot Walker, one of the county's best lcw-
yets, and John A. Burrill, leading mer-
chant. Each of these men have always been
Republicans. OF the Republican soldiers in
Newport five have already declared openly
for Hancock and Plaisted.
DR.. George E. Brickett, for years an infa-
enlisi Republican of Augusta, Maine, says if
he votes at all it will be for Hancock. He
has the greatest respect, also, for Gen. Plais-
ted, the union candidate for governor of
Maine, and shall vote for him every time in
preference to Corporal Davis.

FALSE CLAIMS OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY-STITESME

1t is amusing to read over the achieve
ments of the Republican party as recounted
By the newspapers which advocate the prin-
ciples of that "black and ian" organization.
The greatest act, or the one for which they
claim the greatest credit, is the liberation
from bondage of four millions of negroes.
Are they entitled to that credit? In July,
1861, the extra session of Congress directly
declared that it was not the intention, nor
the desire, to interfere with slavery in the
States where it then existed, thus showing
that it was not then the policy of the party
to proclaim freedom to the enslaved. The
freedom of the slave followed the war as q
natural consequence, Just as deafness follows
a severe case of scarlet fever, and the Repub-
lican party is entitled to no credit whatever
for that wonderful achievement by which
the letters were stricken from four millions
of human beings. To hear these Republican
chieftains talk one would suppose that the
contestants in the late war were Democrats
on one side and Republicans on the other.
They seem to ignore the fact that there were
as many Democrats in the federal army as
there were Republicans, and still another
very important fact, that had it not been for
Northern Democrats who entered the Union
army in the first stage of the rebellion and
swelled its ranks, that JEFF Davis and his
followers would have had "walk over'' and
secured their independence.
It has become quite common of late for
the Republican press to assert the absolute
necessity of having statesmen to rule.
Their first candidate, Fremont, was only
soldier who had distinguished himself by
frontier explorations in the Western wilds,
where ne did not have even the advantage of
the daily papers by means of which to keep
himself informed in regard to the current
events of the times.
No one will accuse Grant of being a states
man, and Hayes was unknown to fame until
counted in by the Republican electoral COM
mission.
Our candidate graduated at West Point,
where he was required to study international
and constitutional law-not to read it over
simply, but to study and comprehend it in
all of its bearings. He is ripe scholar and
abundantly able to cope with the great ques-
tions likely to arise under his administra-
ton. A gallant and loyal soldier-an able
constitutional lawyer; he is just the man to
give dignity and responsibility to the high
and exalted position to which he will be ele-
waited in November.
