furnished us with new puzzle, who is to be
PrcsidentT which relates to a question Of
public interest in a large degree just at this
iuncture. The utility of this puzzle is that
every move in this game is lesson in tho
history of tho American republic. This inn
portant problem is solved by the twenty blocks
which are to be moved over tho instructive
squares within tho box. The game may be
played by one person alone, but tho more in.
tcrcsting manner is to play in parties of five
to twenty.oue, or more persons. The interest
of the game does not cease when the election
is over. 1t is not too much to say that any
boy or girl or grown person who plays this
gamo will learn moro condensed American
history in an hour than most people acquire
in lifetime. The inventor is said to be the
editor of the Boston Pilot. and the publishers

came to vndicate the injured one by re-
nominating him the south would have none
of him. 1t then heard his letter of declna-
tion not with regret, but with sensibility,"
which, as the Charleston Ncps and Courier
says means anything or nothing, just as
you please. The treatment of HANCoCK
by the south will be the same. His letter
is now spoken of as "sooothing syrup" for
sensitive northern democrats, but neverthe-
less it is felt as an insult to those who made

In October, 1868, the republicans, after a
campaign of wonderful excitement, carried
Indiana by 00G majority, olecting BAKER
governor. The next month GRANT carried
the state by 10000 majority. In October,
1872, although the democrats carried the
state for HENDRICKS by thousand ma
iority, the republicans had n majority of
$4,000 in November. Indiana may there
fore be relied upon for GARFIELD by an
increased majority.

THE TIDAL WAVE,


IL has come. II has been rather tariy
in coming, but ii has set in at last, aud now
it will roll on until November closes the
drama by consignng the democratic party
to such defeat as it richly deserves. We
have hoped for it, We have labored for
IT, We are confident and happy.
Aud, what is more aud better, the tidal
wave will not stop with Indiana aud Ohio.
1t will roll on until New York, Connecticut
and New Jersey are swept, and thus
the solid north will be rendered complete.
This will teach the dcmscratic party that
they must make for themselves new
history or wait until tho old one is for
gotten before they will be again intrusted
with the control of this government. We
oxult, but we desire TO do so with modera-
tion. We see the divining finger of Provi-
dence in the signs and developments of the
hour, and it inspires us with full confidence
and hope This nation is not to be sur
rendered into the hands of its enemies, but
is to be preserved for the welfare of all the
people, regardless of color or previous con-
dition of seryitude, and in the hands of its
friends. THIS is right, and this is the pros.
pect which the future now presents. The
future peace, prosperity and happiness of
this union can be secured in this way and
in no other Union men to the front and
rebels to the rear is the future order for
this great country. We do not say this in
q spirit of insolence or of boasting, but be-
cause that condition of affairs is the future
reliance of the nation and the welfare of all
its people. The late confederate must
learn to submit to all the laws of his coun-
| try and say in his invocations:
That mercy to others show
That mercy show to me.
He must learn that this is nation of
equal rights, and that every American citi-
zen, DC he black or white, is fully entitled
to all the respect for his life his pursuit
of happiness and his right of suffrage that
is accorded to amy other citizen in the
realm. When this lesson is learned and
practiced all over the land then we shall
become one people and enjoy the common
blessings of the republic. Then we can
confide in, trust and respect each other, and
that condition Of affairs can only be Sc
cured by the power of that tidal wave
which has set in in Ohio and Indiana, and
will settle all outstanding sectional &C.
counts. This will do it, and it has not
con,e ona hour too snnn

In the German, French and Austrian armies
subalern officer cannot marry until he either de-
posts with the government sum varying between
500 and 60 900 according to rank, or shows that
his fixed income outside Of his pay is
equal to the income of these amounts. This
has been found to be wise and necessary
provision limiting the subjects free agency
for the subjects good. The main objection
IS that ittends to increase illcgitimatc alliances
and offspring. When General Sherman returned
from Europe several years ago, he urged that thcre
should be added to our army regulations provision
forbiddlng seCond-lieutenants to marry. This he
suggested, not so much on account of the made
quate salary TO support family but for the reason
that marriage destroys the efficiency of young
officers. It makes o man better subject, but n
poorer soldier "He has too many and too strong
ties operating against the display Of courage or Gu.
daclty at particular lunctures" He that Is married
hath rendered hostages to fortune" says Bacon.
Again, women and children form the most costly
and Objectionable lmpedments of an army. They
cannot be left behind. There arc colonels Of sew

The Danger OF Aimlessness.

A great deal of time is wasted by young
people who have no particular aim in life.
Aimlessness and lack of motive are the chief
obstacles to the best and most profitable use
of time. With goal to attain, an end to
accomplish, and force of character sufficient
to hold the mind steadfastly TO his purpose,
the sands Of time are easily transmitted into
golden rain. Life is made worth the living.
Then, boys-@pecially if you live in the
country-utilize your time. Resolveto turn
to good account your hitherto wasted mo-
lnents. Most men of rank have easily learned
the lesson of utilizing the minutes Ehhu
Burritt, "the learned blacksmith" found
time during his work at the forge to master
several languages, and surprised cultured
Europe by addressing ITS chief learned body
in Sanskrit. Hugh Miller learned the secrets
of the old Red Sandstone in the capacity of
a day laborer. While his fellow-workmen
idled during their mornings, he was actively
at work finding out the why of the specimens
and fossils his hammer disclosed. Lord
Chesterfield relates of one of his friends, that
he wrote book of sbstruse character during
the intervals of waiting for his wife to appear
at breakfast. Why not follow such examples

A Tear of Penitenca.

A golden trust betrayed, her sun went down
Behind the cloud Of disappointed hope;
She could not live meet the cold worlds frowR
She did not with deaths mysteries dare TO cope
But soft-eyed Pity with a tender power
Bresthed DER her breaking heart one solsnl
hour.
A little hymn stole out upon the air
fitting requiem for tue dying day;
II was so sweet the flowers b-nt down to share
Their sUft duets OF fragrance with the prayer
In holy reverence As IL passed away,
Aud like the NJ sgdslen OF old she heard,
And to its Utmost depths her hears was stirred
From out the mystery of the echoes came
A subtle force that sought the portal fair
or pleading Conscience, aud the slchemic fame
OF deep remorse burned with fierce 9 glare
The dr'ss consumed, and loi pearl 10 here,
Initial Of a blessing lowering near;
priceless gem, penitent's pure tear.
