Those who plant cucumbers for
pickles only do not wish to plant the
seeds early, and often when the proper
time comes the soil is very dry. A cor

four hours, and then planting them in

the Democratic party.
And its orders will be obeyed when Han

Democratic citizen, in private conversation,
speak of the Union without a sneer.
They love their States as the Athenians
loved the city of the Violet Crown;
But they hate the Union;
They hate your filthy flag;
They hate your reconstruction laws, and
their fingers tingle to rend them from the
statute books;
But, with Hancock in the White House,
They will rule that Union as they ruled it
f1om 1888 to 1861;
They will make that flag the symbol of State
sovereignty;
They will purify the statute books of the
Senegamban stencil and flavor.
And thoroughly Southernize the land and
all its laws.
Aye, more: they will render the treason of
your Linkhorns ct al. odious, and make the
confederate uniform a passport to official rank
They will indemnify the South for the loss
of her slaves and the forced reputation of her
war debt,
And leave no means untried to undo the
colossal crimes of your party to the uttermost.
You seem to forget the sublime fact that the

Uncle ESek'S Wisdom.

No man is envious of what he can equal, Or
even initiate.
Most successes spring up, .Phenix-like, from
the ashes Of some failure.
Silence is hard opinion to beat.
Good breeding is letter of credit all over
the world.
The man who can distinguish between good
advice and poor does not need either.
There is great deal of modesty in this
world which will gaze at almost anything
provided it can be seen through>a crack.
Next to silence comes brevity-the wise
mans strength and the FOOLS refuge.
If we would measure our happiness by the
condition Of those below us, instead of those
above, we should find ourselves very well off
The most cunning of all egotists is the man
who never speaks we'll Of himself.
man of true genius is generally as simple
as a child. and as unconscious o! his power as
an elephant.
The man who is ever ready to take the
chances will very probably take his last one in
the almshouSe.
1t is well TO give heed to your doubts, for
they are very often the dawnings of truth.
Bigotry knows OF but one way to reach
heaven, while faith knows Of a hundred.
Man is a two-legged. eccentric animal that
deals in politics, religion and general merchan-
disc.

Matters of Record.

The Maine Standard calls upon certain
Republican papers in this State including
ihe PRESS, to "re-publish their comments
on Garfield as a salary grabber, Credit No
bilier robber, perjurer and bribe-taker as
printed by them in the spring of 1872
The Standard knows very well that the
PBETs did reprint few weeks ago the COM
ments it made, when reminded of them by
the Standard and the Argus This knowl-
edge the Standard does not seem inclined to
share with its readers. Perhaps the STAN
dard will be pleased to reprint some of it's
own editorial utterances, made October II .
1873, when the absurd rumor was afoat that
the Governor and Council were intending
to count out the Fusion majority in the
House. These are the paragraphs we
mean:
Whether our Maine returning board in
ienu 70 lolioW the brilliant example OF its Lou
lslana prototype, remains to be seen There
are, however, rumOrs in the air that it medi-
tates doing so and proposes to accomplish its
coup d'etdt by Withholding certificates from
enough Democratic and Greenback members
elect to the Legislature, to give the Republi
to elect Connor and fill the State offices before
the contested seats in the House are settled"
Ihe people OF Maine cannot be defrauded
OF their political rights The country has been
cheated out of the Presidency. The people of
Maine cannot be swindled in similar wav.
They know their rights and dare to maintain
them, The party that invokes the wind will
reap the whirlwind."
These paragraphs clearly mark out the
course pursued by Garcelon and his Tabu-
lators, except that it does not suggest for
gerry and suppression of returns. But in
1879, when the returning board was at
tempting to steal a State Legislature the
Standard had no words of condemnation for
the misdeed. The thing it assailed one year
it approved the next. What was Republi-
can crime in 1878 was Fusion virtue in
1879. To use its own language, it is COM
PEELED. being an organ, to swallow all its
hard words and admit itself to be dishones5.
