THE better class of patriots keep
hoping that each successive presi-
Dental election will be the last one
conducted on sectional issues but
the villainy of demagOgues and the
gullibility of the people postpone the
day of perfect reconciliation and
peace. And the worse of it is that
Christian men and women are drawn
into the strife, and help swell the
tide of bitterness that sweeps over
the land.-NGShUiHe AdUOcdte.

Each succeeding day brings new
and convincing evidence of the eX-

upon the poor subOrdinateS who re-

To most respectable citizens it is dis
gushing to see the means reSOrted to

of party, as it indicates the desper-
ate character of the game being
played. Mr.. ]. II. BARLEY having
referred to the article in yesterdays

said: | was a letter-carrier for

"Is he the gentleman who re-

l am quite sure he is. AT any

He told the carrier that he must

NY SCOTCH LAssHE.


II had the brush Of angel,
Dipt in colOrs rich and rare,
would paint in choicest Inning,
My Scotch Lassie fresh and fair.
Fresh is she as the dewy morning,
Fair as blossom on the spray,
Fragrant as the birch tree waving,
In ths fresh breeze of the May.
o. my bright and blooming lassie!
Maids more stately well may be,
But no stateliest maiden ever
Breathed n smile so sweet as she.
o. my bonnie. blithe, fond lassie,
Mid as bloom on hawthorn tree,
Rich as June and ripe as autumn,
Flower and fruit in one Is she.
Saw you ever cowslip warmer
When the zephyns came to WOO
Saw you bright-eyed speedwell peepins
Meath the hedge with purer blue
Warmer than her keen pulse keeping
Time 10 all things pure and good,
Bluer than her blueseyes swelling
In young loves divinest mood
Softer floats no plumy sea-guil
Than her bOsom's lieaving charms,
Swan on lake not whittier swimmeth
Than the WhiteneSs Of her arms.
If had the brush Of angel,
Dipt in colors rich and rare
No no trick Of brush or pigment
Ever limned a form SO fair.
Let them linn who live in dreamland,
Where the brain-bOrn phantoms sway
have Toasted on the substance,
And the shadow pales away.

With painted, thin display,
Ofa life that breathes and Dungeons
With the fullness OF the May.
I will see my dear Scotch lassie
In the rays that sweep the hills,
In the bright, far-shimmering ocean,
In the silver flashing rills.
viii see her where the wandering
Rces suck honey from the brae,
Where tile marvis TO the marYis
Pours his rich, full-throated lay.
viii feed upon the sweetness
Other presence near TO me
And her wealth of grace that hangeth
Like a peach upon tree.

OF thsf hour OF burning bliss,
Whenahe lent her lips and thrilled me

Good Night"


Some unknown pen writes thus
beautifully, what it will do all good
to read thoughtfully:
How tenderly and sweetIy falls
the gentle ''good night" into loving
hearts, as members of a family sep
arated and retire for the night.
What myriads of hasty words and
thOughtlesS acts, engendered in the
hurry and business of the day, are
forever blotted out by its benign in
fiuence. Small token, indeed but
it is the little cOurtesies that make
up the sum of happy home. 1t
is only the little courtesies that can
so beautifully round off the square
corners in th& homes of labOring
men and women. The simple Il
thank you" for a favor received,
will fill with happiness the heart of
the giver. True wealth is not esti-
mated by dollars and cents, but by
the gratitude and affection of the
heart. If home be happy, it il of
heaven the trueSt symbol. If a
home be happy, whether the owner
possess a patch of ground or a thOus-
and acres, they are indeed wealthy
beyond mathematical calculations.
Then how much more lovingly are
the sable folds of night gathered
around the happy homes! How
much more cOntidingly do its MEM
bers repose their weary bodies in
the care of divine goodness, sooth-
ing their overtaXed minds to the
living realities of beautiful dream
land; awakened, refreshed and in
vigorated for the coming days la
Dor, by their having bid their loved
ones an affectionate "good night"
And, if during this life, we have
faithfully attended to all these little
cOurtesies, these soul-needs; if we
have guarded carefully all of Goods
hearts" placed in our keeping, at
the close of its brief, yet eventual
day, how much the easier to bid all
our dearly loved ones a final good
night"

Alike.

Z The twin daughters of John Ram
sey, of Lexington, KY, are SO accu-
rately alike as to puzzle even their
parents in determining their iden-
tity. Not only are their features
exactly alike, but they are the same
size, same hight, same figure, same
weight to within half a pound.
They are now in their 18th year,
have never been sick, nor separated
for any length of time, are in the
same classes, study from one book,
are both remarkably sprightly,
quite handsome, and each devoted
to the other.
The most remarkable feature in
the case is the fact, that they have
never had the slightest variation in
weight from birth to the present
time. They are named Mary and
Martha.

public attention to the fact that
Hayes and his cabinet have been
canVassing for Garfield, reminds its
readers that General Scott, in 1852,
was the first presidential candidate
who ever wandered about to make
speeches in his own behalf, as Gen.
Garfield has done in 1880. The vo-
tiers showed him what they thought
of his cause in November, 1852 ! Mr..
Seward, if we mistake not, was the
first and the only secretary of state,
except Mr.. Evarts, who ever descen-
ded from that high place into the
arena of the hastings. Certainly

CLEAN BEDs.-A writer in the Congrega
Honal writes intelligently on this topic and
on clothing az follows: "lt must be a false
idea of neatness which demands that beds
should be made soop after being vacated.
Let it be remembered that more than three.
fifths of the solids and liquids taken into the
stomach should pass off through the pores
Of the skin-seven million in number-and
that this escape is the most rapid during the
night, while warm in bed. At least one-haf
of the waste and putrid matter (from twenty
TO thirty ounces in the night,) must become
more or less tangled in the bedding-o
course, soiling it-and a part Of this may be-
come reabsorbed by the skin, if it is allowed
to come in contact with it on the next night,
as it must if the b. dding is not exposed for
few hours in the air and light. We may
well initiate he.Dutch example of placing
such bedding on two chairs near the window,
in the sunlight; or in the window, that the
best purifier known-the light Of the sun
may dissipate their impurities, or ueutralize
them. At least three hours on the average is
as short exposure as is compatible with neat
ness"
