A PLEA OF GUILTY,

A candidate for solicitor of the 18th
judicial circuit of Alabama, publishes
the following card
"Whenever a patriot offers to i'm.
molate hipself upon the altar of his
country, and accepts office at the
hands of an appreciative and intelli-
gent constituency, it is customary
for his enemies TO y-blow his repu-
tation with falsehood and dsub his
character with calumny. To save
the breath of those Sagos (rather
Dagos) the plea Of guilty is entered,
and the clemency of the general as
sembly vehemently invoked. 1t is
admitted that during the last "big
show" your unworthy candidate,
armed with flint and steel horse
pistol, "treed" an iDfrm grandfather
and kept him up large oak tree all
night, SO that his legs froze because
he was for Victory Woodruff for
president. We confess to robbiug
blind and aged woman in church of
two nickles and a pair of brass rim
med spectacles. 1t is useless to deny
numbering, in cold blood, nine light
ming ROD peddlers with bologna
sausage and a pair of patent office
reports. We concede that we inven-
ted the Is IA Is puzzle, but we inr
dignantly scorn the allegation that
we perform on the ACCORDION. We
plead guilty to all the crimes charged
against US from being "haymaker"
up to treason, but we deny with
wrSth that, in cold blood and with
malice aforethought, we revenged
ourselves upon an innocent farmer
by assisting to elect him to the legis-
lature, because he had swapped US a
blind mule with decided SPAWN ten
denotes. Further, we do not attempt
to refute the charge that our ugliness
is so extreme that the bricks recoil
from us with horror as we tread the
pavement and we frankly admit
that our opponents, the other candi-
dates, are class leaders, deacons,
white-robed martyrs and temperance
lecturers.

DAMAGED MEN.

You can see them any day in the
streets Of any town, men who look
damaged. Men, too, of good origi.
nal material who started out in life
with generous sentiments and some
generous aspirations. Once it was
said That they were bright, promise
ing lads; once they looked happily
into the faces of mothers, whose
daily breath was a prayer for their
purity and peace. All, God what
if some of them have vowed their
souls away to contiding wives, who
silently wonder what can be the
meaning of this chauge-th the cold,
slow creeping shadow-that is COM
ing over the home and heart what
if some of them shrink from the
touch OF their own babies as if limo,
cence had nothing for them but re-
buke
Going to the bad! The spell of
evil companionship the willingness
to hold and use money not honestly
gained; the stea!thy, seductive,
plausible advance of the appetite for
strong drink the treacherous fasci>
nations of the gaming table the
gradual loss of interest in business
and things which build man up;
the rapid weakening of all noble pur-
poses the decay Of manliness and
blasphsmy against fate; the sulIeo
despair of ever breaking the chains
of evil habit; what victories of shame
and contempt, what harvests of hell
have grown such seed as these.
Sneer, if you will, like fool, at
the suggestions of reform, morals, re-
ligion every man knows 10 his bet
ter moods-and every man has bet~
ter moods that all there is of true
life is personal virtue and rectitude
of character.
Going to the bad But there is
hope. Earth and Heaven are full of
hands ever reaching to help the lost
man back to the better way. All
the good there is in the universe is
in full sy mpathy with that little good
ness which inwardly reproves aud
protests.

DIFFERENCES.

Better be the open opponent than
the false friend-the sycophant who
flattering and smiling, inhicts the
blow uuder the shape of pretended
affection and good intentions, of
which hell is paved. Such infuse
poison and call it advice.
We are more inclined to hate one
another for points on which we dit
fer than to love on those on which
we coincide. When others agree
with us we seldom trouble ourselves
to confirm the agreement but when
we chance on those that differ we
are Jealous both to convince and
convert. Pride is hurt by the failure,
and disappointed pride engenders
hatred. The most jealous converts
ers are always the most rancorous
when they fail of producing convic~
ton but when they succeed they
love their disciples far better than
those whose establishment in the
faith neither excited their zeal to the
combat nor rewarded their proness
with a victory. He is most virulent
who agrees partly with everybody
but entirely with more. In every
pursuit his track may still be traced
by the host of aesailants that pur-
sued it, and like the flying fish, he
had no sooner escaped one enemy in
the water than be had to encounter
another in the air.
To err is human to forgive, di>
vine. A coward never forgives, no
matter how trivial or unintentional

fancied slight has become An enor.

revenge. The generous heart scorns

An armed mob of hundred men
came into the town of Moberly, Mo-,
for the purpose of lynchiug j. G.
Corlew, who was charged with havr
ing committed an outrage on Mrs.
Crump in a hotel last March. Cor
lew was being carried to the court
house by the Sheriff, when the crowd
commenced firing upon him. The
doomed man ran for his life, the
crowd after him, shooting. He fin
ally took refuge over a saloon, when
the husband of the outraged woman
finished the tragedy by firing
five shots into Corlew's body and
one into his forehead. The officers
of the law made 20 attempt to stay
the lawless proceedings.

DoN'T be Shylock during the
week and Uriah Heep on Sunday.
1t causes wear and a tear of consci-
ence which is almost unbearable at
this time of year.
Don't gorge yourself with unripe
fruit and curse your liver for what
follows. Have some respect for the
proprieties of digestion
Don't stop and argue a point in
theology with man on his way to
dinner. There never was a plan of
salvation invented capable of carry
ing conviction to any empty stOmS
ach.
Don't discuss politics between sun
rise and sunset. II is not polite.

TOO SMART.

The other day a rough looking
man stepped into clothing store in
Carson aud wanted to bay suit of
clothes. The price was thirty doll
lars, but after a careful examination
of the texture Of the goods he de-
clined to purchase at the figures
named and started for the door.
"Holt on" said the proprietor,
sell EN- at de cost brice.' The clerk
asked how much and the "boss" said
in German sixteen dollars. The
countrymau turned around and said
he guessed he take another look at
'em anyhow He tried them on and
got before the glass. "Cost price

the countryman handed him sixteen
dollars, remarking:
"You can tie the old ones up"
"Hold on, the cost price is $24, "
said the clerk"

ENVY, like cold provisions, be
numbs and stupefes, and then, as if
conscious of its own impotence, it
folds its arms in despair and sits
nursing in a corner. When it con-
quers it is commonly in the dark, by
treachery and undermining, by CAL
jimmy and detraction. Envy is no
less foolish than detestable; it is a
vice which they say keeps no holt
day, but is always at the wheel and
working at its own disquiet.

Gen. Hancock's much talked of
letter to Gen. Sherman, bearing
