Senatorial "Reminiscences.

Ex-senator McCreary, of Kentucky.
is great lover of tobacco in its natural
state, but as the price of the weed was
little too high for his ideas Of luxury, he
always brought a supply with him to Wash
ington from his farm in old ''Kentuck. 4"
One day in the Senate he put his hand in
the pocket of his ''swallow-tail' for the
scrap of plug which was generally to be
found there, but it was missing. So he
called riding page ana told him to go TO
his hotel in Georgetown (you can live in
Georgetown for ninety cents per day., and
bring piece of tobacco about two inches
long, which he said would be found on his
bedroom table Well, the boy rode over
to the hotel, three miles distant, and re-
turned with the fragrant plug. The Ken
lucky statesman looked first at the youth
and then at the tobacco. "Young man,
said he, you can't come it that way.
There S chew missing"
On another occasion a package was re-
ceivcd for him at the Senate postoffice, and
the clerk in charge paid the duties, which
were thirty cents. lie took the package
TO the silver-tongued apostle of the blue
grass region, and told him the circum-
StAhNSo. AOV LhdIilS lSplISd 0lCNlSSl1
Il never pay more than twenty-five cents
for package like that. Here's quarter
| can't afford to pay the other five. You'll
have to stand it yourself"
Ex-senator Goldthwaite, of Alabama, was
noted for his absent -mindedness, and he was
occasionally seen running about the senate
trying TO get out, and not being able to find
the door. He would have the page-boys in
the Senate looking for his hat or cane, which
would be all the while firmly clasped in his
hand. He was much given TO walking up
and down the lobby, plunged in deep
thought, often smoking fragrant Havana,
and entirely oblivious of all about him.
Often some cheeky page of the senate
would walk up and ask the Senator for a
light. Mr.. Goldthwaite would mechanl-
cally hand over his cigar, the boy would
take light, put the choice weed in his
precious mouth, and hand over his old
stump TO the old gentleman, who would
continue his stroll in blissful ignorance 1t
is related on good authority that, in one of
his fits of abstraction, he walked into the
Senate elevator, dropped nickel into the
hole back of the mirror, and calmly re-
quested TO be let out at ''H' street.

Home Education.

The following rules are worthy of being
printed IN letters of gold, and placed in a
conspicuous place in every household:
/. From your childrens earliest infancy,
iuculcate the necessity of instant obedience.
2. Unite firmness with gentleness. Let
your children always understand that you
mean what you say.
3. Never promise them anything unless
you are quite sure you can give what you
say.
f. If you tell child to do something
show him how TO do ii, and see that 1t is
done
.. Always punish your child for willfully
disooeying you, but never punish them in
anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they vex
you, or make you lose your self command
Z. If they give way to petulance or i'll
temper, wait till they get calm, and then
calmly reason with them on the impro-
priety of their conduct.
s. Remember that a little present pun
ishment when the occasion arises is much
more effectful than the threatening of n
greater punishment should the fault be
renewed.
3. Never give your children anything
because they cry for 1t.
10. On no account allow them TO do at
one time what you have forbidden, under
the same circumstances, at another.
II. Teach them that the only sure and
easy way to appear good is to be good.
u. Accustom them to make their little
recitals with perfect truth.
13. Never allow tale bearing.
IA. Teach them self-denial, not self-in-
diligence of an angry and resentful spirit.

uage. DR.. Robert Brown, the latest auth
ority, attributes, in his traces of Mankind, "
an Asiatic origin to our oboriginals. He
says that the Western Indians not only per-
sonally resemble their nearest neighbors-
the Northeastern Asiatics-but they reassem-
bic them in language and traditions. The
Esquimaux on the American and the
lchucktchis on the Asiatic side understand
one another perfectly. Modern anthropo-
logist, indeed, are disposed to think tnat
Japan, the Kuriles, and neighboring regions,
may be regarded as the original home of
the greater part of the native American
race. 1t is also admitted by them that be-
tween the tribes scattered from the Arctic
Sea TO Cape Horn there is more uniformity
of physical feature than is seen in any other
quarter of the globe. The weight of evid-
ence and authority is altogether in favor of
the opinion that our so-called Indians are a
branch Of the Mongolian family, and all ad-
ditional researches strengthen the opinion.
The tribes of both North and South America
are unquestionably homogeneous, and, in
all likelihood, had their origin in Asia,
though they have been altered and modified
by thousands of years of total separation
from the parent stock.

"The kissing Bush"

One of the gentle customs that has been
permitted to exist in English homes since
the time of the Druids finds expression in
what is known as the "klssing BUSH" 1t
is generally a neat bough of mistleto, and
when the household decorations are going
up it is rarely ever forgotten, especially
where there are young men and maidens.
1t hangs in the hall, and the charm lies in
leading your fair friend beneath it and kiss
ing her. Among the middle class this feat
ure of the holidays is never neglected, and
at friendly and family reunions it occasions
much merriment. In Elmira, however,
the tree has been discarded. The way to
do is not to lead your fair friend beneath a
tree and kiss her there, but to kiss her where
she is; for nine times out of ten, when she
gets under the tree, she'll change her mind.
Prccrastination is the thief of many such
an opportunity.

A man cannot be prosperous Chris
tian without settled seasons of prayer.
Opportunities 10 pray Will be found
when the heart is intent on the exer-
else.
Sin always begins with pleasure and
ends with bitterness. 1t is like colt
which the little boy said was very tame
in front and very wild behind.
We should enjoy our fortune as We
do our health-enjoy it when good, be
patient when it is bad, and never apply
violent remedies except IN an extreme
necessity.
When we speak of obedience we
should always speak of faith first.
Faith is the first and fundamental act
of obedience. Faith is the handspring
of obedience.
If you would relish food, labor for it
before you take it; if enjoy clothing
pay for it before you wear it; if you
would sleep soundly, take clear con-
science to bed with you.
Socially, politically, and religiously,
the civilized world IS in terrible un-
settled condition. Everything appears
to be in a state OF unrest. There seems
to be no well stated limit to anything.
Conversion is life from the dead. 1t
is the healthfulness and growth OF
functions that were entirely extinct,
in contradistInct1on from the notion
that it is an education or the hearu-a
mere training of an inherent principle.
Cheerfulness is just as natural to the
heart OF man in strong health as color
to his cheek; and wherever there is
habitual gloom there must be either
bad air, unwholesome food, improper
ly severe labor, or erring habits In life.
Let US have none the less emotion,
none the less morality, but from top TO
bottom, within and without, through
out and without end, let US have right
eousness. Then our emotions will be
read, our morality will be love, and
our righteousness will be holiness.
Translate the sense Of Scripture into
your lives, and expound the Word OF
God by your works. Interpret it by
your feet and teach it by your fingers.
That is, let your workings and yOul
walkirgs be Scripture exposition, as
living epistles read and known Of all
men.
Trouble must have great possib lities
of blessing in it, or it would not be sc
common in Gods world. Surely we
need not dread it SO when it brings in
one hand the peaceable fruit of right
eousness and in the other the joys o.
consolation for so many sorroWlne
souls.

LOSING AND LIVING.

Forever the sun is pouring its gold
On hundred worlds that beg and borrow
His warmth he squand, rs on submits cold;
His wealth on the homes OF want and sor
row;
To withhold his largness Of precious light
ls to bury himself in eternal night
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for itself ut all;
Its JOY is the JOY it freely diffuses;
OF beauty and balm 1t is prodigal,
And 1t lives i'll the light it freely loses,
No choice for the rose but glory or doom.
To exhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
To deny
Is TO die.
The seas lend silvery rays to the land,
The land its sapphire-streams to the ocean;
The heart sends blood to the brain of COM
mand,
The brain to the heart its lightning motion
Aud over and ever we iel | our breath.
Till the mirror is dry and images death.
To live
Is 10 give.
He is dead whose hand is not open wide
To help the need of human brother;
He doubles the length OF his lifelong ride
Who gives his fortunate place to another;
And a thousand million lives are his
Who carries the world in his sympathies.
To deny
Is 70 die.

A Tame Heron.

A writer says that he has tame heron.
4 heron is very large bird with very large
wings, very long legs and very long neck.
1t lives along streams of water or by the
sea in marshy places, and eats all the fish
it can catch with its sharp bill and sharper
eyes. This tame heron is a funny fellow.
His master found him in the nest when
young and raised him, until he is now full
grown. He has a small pond of water in
the corner Of the yard, and his great de-
light is to fish in it. OF course, there are
no fish in the pond but the heron will make
believe there is, just as a cat will play with
reel of cotton making believe that the
cotton is a mouse. The heron spends most
of his time IN the pond. He will take q
small branch, or leaf, in his blll toss it a
long ways into the water and then dash at
it as though it were fish. AT dusk in the
evening be creeps around the quiet corners
of the garden, with his long neck stretched
out and legs bent in search of mice When
he sees a mouse he pounces down on it like
a cat and eats it with great relish. Indeed,
that is his main fault--he eats too many
things, even to sparrOws or other small
birds

THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME.
HOac They Thtnl; They Can Carry Indiana
~ Huge Corruption Fsssid--Johnny
Daveaport's Bmildoztng Scheme.

DdUeaports Balldosing Scheme.
ITitusville Special, Sept. 2e.
A gentleman prominent in railroad and
political circles, and a Republican, stated pos
itively that for week past Republican leaders
have been secretly at work among the business
men of the Eastern cities, raising mon
ey to be used in carrying Indiana at the Octo-
ber election.
AS result of these efforts, fund of 1850,
600 has been raised among bankers and Repub
lican merchants of New York and Boston, and
forwarded to the Republican managers of
Indiana, to be used in electing Porter and the
rest of the Republican ticket .ssWall street was
heavily assessed.
The work of collecting this money has been
conducted with the greatest caution, and is
known to but two or three persons outside of
those engaged in it. The gentleman from
whom this information was obtained is just
from New York. He says that the necessity
of Republican success in Indiana to Garfeld's
election has inspired the Republican leaders to
take advantage Of all that money can do to
help their desperate cause.
This fund of $780, 900 is regarded as the out
come of an offer made by Bob Ingersoll, which
was that he would be one of one Thousand men
to contribute 81, 900 to elect Garfield.
Further information is also received that
Jonn L. davenport Is TO nave cnarge OF the he
publican machine in Indiana on election day,
and will attempt to introduce his infamous
'iron-cage' tactits into the politics of Indiana.
With his trunk full of blank afiidavits and
nearly 81, ,000, 900 Of corruption fund in the
hands of desperate men, it becomes the duty
of Indiana Democrats so be extremely yigilant
from now till the close of the polls.
New York Special, Sept. 26.
The Republican scheme for defeating the
popular vote in Indiana has come to light to-
day. The execution of the plot has been in
usted to the notorious John ]. Davenport, of
New York, who is to have supreme control of
Republican operations in Indiana on election
day. The general plan is the same which has
rendered Davenport and his iron cages SO
infamous in New York. Large numbers of
afhdavits are being prepared in blank, and it
is intended to arrest thousands of Democratic
voters and keep them locked up until after
the close of the polls. The managers at Repub-
ican headquarters here are apprehensive that
popular lnd1dgnation will be aroused in In
diana by the importation of the New York
satrap to take charge of affairs in that State,
and have been trying to train some one in his
place. It has now been resolved, however, to
let Davenport remain in Indiana and carry
out the scheme at all hazards, as the only
hope for carrying the State, 1t should be re-
membered that Davenport's infamous opera
tions in New York were partially successful
only because they were unexpected. That the
Republican National Committee should de-
terrnine to resort to such tactics among the free
voters of the West is the best evidence of the
desperation of their cause.
