THE OLD MAIDS SOLILOQUY,

Alas! the seasons come and go;
They bring no change for me i;
I'm sitting where year ago
slipped my Oolong tea.
My mirror opposite proclaims
The sad olesome truth
That all the charms boosted once
Are passing, like my youth
Ny raven locks are changing fast;
My face betokens bile;
Ny voice seems cracked, for when I sing
My saucy nieces smile. =. IS

Would offer me his hand:
But he was drafted to the war,
And killed at Cumberland,
Then John McMartin walked with me
From church that rainy day,
But sswar-widow drafted him,
And took him home-to stay.
My hopes are ike the withered leaf
Borne on the autumn blast:

With clouds is overcast.

And go for s'women's rights

The Advantages OF Capital.

Every farmer should endeavor to keep a
small amount Of capital, at least in such
shape that he can turn it to use Wien rare
bargins or an emergency requires it, and
not lock it up in speculations that require
years for realization Of profits A farmer
without ready capital is always at a disad-
vantage in his farm management, what he
buys must be done on credit. IF his corn
crop is short and he desires to lay in sup
ply Of feed in anticipation of rise, he
cannot, but is forced to sell his stock at a
sacrifice or take the risk of buying at high
prices in the spring He wants to Improve
his stock. and has a chance to get some
very first class animals, but he has no
money to pay for them. There are hargins
offered often in his neighborhood by men
who are selling out, or who. for some rea-
son must part with their property, but he
has not the funds and cannot get the bene-
fit of them.
He secures crop, and though he! has
every reason to believe that it will soon adj

Little by little the main trench filed; then
the water trickled into the smaller trenches,
and as the spring from which, it came was

One day old Riley Vaughn was Offering
eKtrayagant prices for horse. mule or OK
teams to haul stone. He had taken con-
tract to supply from his quarry the stone
for the railroad bridge over the Bushy Run,
and now the time for delivery was near at
hand, and no teams could be had. All the
horses were at work on the crops, and it
began to appear that old Riley must either
lose money on the contract by hiring horses
and mules and teamsters at ruinous, prices,
or forfeit the contract itself. He tried in
every direction to get mules and wagons,
Offering twice the usual wages, but still he
could get very few. He was in real trouble,
with loss of several thousands Of dollars
threatening him.
One day Hamp, who knew what trouble
Riley was in went down to the creek, and cut
ting several tWigs began setting them I'D at
distance from each other, and sighting
from one to the other. The few teamsters
who were at work watched him curiously,
but could not make out what he was doing.
He went up the creek with his sticks, NOV

the vote for presidential electors was Sharply
called to the attention of the people more than
four years ago, and it is to be hoped til at some
well-defned measure may be devised before
another national election, which will render
unnecessary a resort to any expedient of tenn
porary eharaote- for the determination of ques-
tons upon contested returns.
THE 'INABILITY QUESTION.
Questions, which concern the very existence
of the government and the liberties of the peo-
pie, were suggested by the prolonged illness of
the late president and his consequent incapacity
to perform the functions of his office. It is
provided by the second article of the constitr-
ton in the fifth clause of its first section,
that, in case Of the removal of the
President from Office Or of his death, assass-
nation, or inability to discharge the powers
and duties of said office, the same shall de-
volve on the vice president. What is the in
tention Of the constitution in it's speculation of
inability to discharge the powers and duties
of said office :" Is one OF the contingencies
that which calls the wee president to the exer-
else of presidential functions? Is the
inability delegated in its nature to long
continued intellectual incapacty OF has it broader
import? What must be its extent and duration?
How must its existence be established? Has
the president, whose inability is the subject of
inquiry, any voice in determining whether or
not it exists? or is the decision Of that moment
GUS and delicate question confined to
the vice president? or is it contemplated
by the constitution that congress
should provide by law precisely
what should constitute inability, and how and
by what tribunal OF authority it should be ascer-
tanned If the inability proves to be temporary
in nature, and during IFS continuance the vice
president lawfully exercises the functions
of the executive, by what tenure does
he hold the office? Does he continue as Presi-
dent for the remainder of the four years term,
or would the elected President, if his
inability should cease in the interval
be empowered to resume his Offices, and if hay
ing such equal authority, he should exercise
it, would the vice president be thereupon en-
powered to resume his powers and duties as
such ? [ cannot doubt that these important
questions will receive your early and thought
full consideration.
Deeply impressed with the gravity Of the re-
sponsibilities which have so unexpectedly de-
volved upon me it will be my constant purpose
to cooperate with you in such measures as will
promote the glory of the country and the pros
perity OF its people. Signed,
