A KICK FROM TAMMANY.

New York, Nov. Sat a meeting of
the Tammany hall general committee to-
night, an address to the democracy of the
country was read, claiming Hancock de-
feat was due to fraud, intimidation and
the use of enormous sums of money.
The address concludes as follows:
The rage and frenzy of the hour will
pass away and the sober judgement of
the American people will assert its sway.
Then the democratic party, with clean
handsSon which, and on which alone, will
be borne aloft the ark of our political
covenant, can present itself once more
for the sutferages of the people. Through
defeat We will yet attain the assured VIC
tory. One of the wisest men that ever
lived has said that "None can aspire to
act greatly but those who are forced
greatly to suffer-"

Advice to a Young Man.

My son, if you have fallen into the
custom of the land this January, and
"sawed off - on all your bad habits; il
you have "dropped on - all manner OF
fermented or distilled conviyiality; if
you have made up your mind that YOU
will be a good boy this year, and pay
less for billiards and more for pew rent,
and that you won't have any but "hon-
est headaches; if you have determined
to cultivate a taste for good reading and
elevated conversation, and a hatred for
shady stories and peep-o day parties
you can do it in the simplest and easiest
way in the world. There is nothing
complicated or intricate or difficult
about it. To paraphrase Horace Gree
ley, the way to do it is to do it. Don't
"swear off," my son. That won't help
you a bit, and you will want to break
your oath every time you think Of it
and all the time you don't think of it,
Don't rush out with public and private
and social confessions. Don't pride
yourself on your formation-because
the world is so full of better men that
you don't count for cipher on the right
hand of the decimal. But just simply
quit. just stop it. Just be honest
with yourself, and then you will be hon
est with the world. And when you get
to be honest with yourself, my son, you
will be surprised to find what a good
fellow you are. You will like yourself.
You will want to shake hands with your
self and pat yourself ON the back, and
call yourself cold boy" and be on
familiar, friendly, "Tom and Bill y
terms with yourself. But so long as you
are not fair and candid and honest
with yourself, so long as you make a
promise on the first of January, and
break it on the second, you will hate
yourself, you will be ashamed of your
self, you will seek any society to avoid
The rebuke of your own presence. SO,
be good to yourself, my boy. Be honest
with yourself, and if you made any
promises on the first of January, stick
o them if You have to 90 out of society
ind live in a cave. Keep them, if you

Edward Everett Hale wrote New

He has been investigating libraries and
he finds that the first volume of a Sc

pretty well worn, the second less so, the
third not SO much damaged as the sec
ond, the fourth in better preservation
still, and the last volume generally as
good as new. Mr. Hale detects in this
state of things series of good resolu-

for club of say three to take up, for

thing that troubled him was how to get
