A Candid Confession of Garfield's
Strength.

The Globe, leading Democratic paper
of the State, frankly confcsses the
strength of Garfield as presidential
candidate. 1t says:
General Garfield as Presidential
candidate is strong man. The Demo-
Gratis may as well acknowledge this at
the outset and govern themselves ac-
cordingly. He is eminently stronger
in Ohio where there is vital October
election, than any of the other candi-
dates named, and will make better
run before the whole country than eth
or Grant or Blaine, and his nomination
too, removes much of the bitterness
which would have followed the selec-
ton OF either Grant or Blaine, and his
selection renders it important to make
Ohio the battle ground in October, and
to this end the Cincinnati convention
will quite likely select their candidate
from the same State. The Republicans
have done better than they hoped or ex-
pected in throwing overheard all OF the
candidates and making spontaneous
rush for a new man. If the Democrats
would win they must make no mistake
at Cincinnati.

Failure Not a Failure.

The secret of happiness is to make the
best of everything. No matter what
happens to annoy, let it all glide along
as easily, and with as few words of com
plant and fault-fnding as possible.
Little inconvenience will intrude upon
the most fortunate people, SO the only
way to be master Of every situation is to
make up your mind not to notice small
annoyances. People may keep them
selves in a constant broil over what
amounts to nothing, and which, without
accomplishing the least good may ruin
the peace and quiet Of household. We
cannot have everything just as we want
it in this world, and the sooner a person
understands that fact, the sooner he may
have true basis for happiness.
1t is the greatest folly to set the heart
upon uncertainties, and then, if disap-
pointed, refuse to be comforted or recon
oiled. Do the very best you can, and
then take things as they come. If a man
strives with his best knowledge, energy,
and untiring labor to accomplish certain
object, working with skill and patience,
he is a success, whether the scheme fails
or succeeds, and he ought to reconcile
himself to failure if it was inevitable. If
his labors have been Of brain and hand,
be is better fitted to succeed in other un-
dertakings. And the question Of success
or failure is not settled till this life ends
no, not till the life to come shall reveal
its grand results.-Christla1 Treasury.

Errors in Marriage.

Many of the errors of life admit of
remedy. A loss in one business may be
repaired by gain in another; miscal-
culation this year may be retrieved by
special care the next; bad partnership
may be dissolved, an injury repaired, a
wrong step retraced.
But an error in marriage goes to the
very root and foundation of life. 1t has
been said no man is utterly ruined until
he has married worthless wife, and so
every woman has future before her I'M
til she is chained, in wedlock which is a
paddock, to- wretched and unworthy
man. The deed once done cannot be re
called. The wine of life is wasted and
the goblet is broken, and no tears or tolls
can bring back the precious draught.
Let the young think of this, and let them
walk carefully in world of snares, and
take heed to their steps lest in the most
critical event of life they go fatally astray.
But here we must guard against an
other error. Many people think they
have made a mistake in marriage, when.
the mistake is only in their own behavior
since they were married. Good husbands
make good wives, and good wives make
good husbands; and the scolding or in
temperate, or slatternly partner often has
but himself or herself to blame for the
misery that clouds the life and desolates
the home. Multitudes who feel that
their marriage was a mistake, and who
make their existence a lifelong misery,
might, by little self-denial, and forbear-
ance, and gentleness, and old-time court
esy, make their home brighten like the
gates of Eden, and bring back again the
old love that blessed the happy golden
days gone by.
Suppose the wife does not know quite
so much as you do; well, you showed
your great judgment when you thought
her the chief among ten thousand Or,
if your husband is not the most wonder
full man in the world, it simply illustrates
the wit and wisdom of the young woman
who once thought he was, and could not
be convinced of the contrary So per-
haps you are not so unevenly mated after
all and if one has had better opportu-
mites since married, then of course that
one should teach and cultivate, and en-
courage the other, and so both journey
on together. But if one has grown worse
and sunk lower than at the beginning,
perhaps even then, patience and toll and
sunshine may bring back the erring one
to duty, lift up the fallen, rescue the per-
ishing, and save the lost. How glorious
for wife to pluck her husband from the
jaws of ruin and bring him safely to the
heavenly home how blessed for the hus-
band to bring back to the gates of para
disc the woman who, through weakness,
had been led astray
