A Little French Story.

Insome parts of France marriageableg girl
are accustomed to pluck, as they return
from midnight mass on Christmas eve,
sprig of apple tree, which they put in
vial of water; the vial is hung in their
bed chamber, in front of the windows; if
one bud blooms before Easter, the mistress
is sure to be married before the year ends.
Among the servants of chateau near
Alencon was a chambermaid from Brittany.
She was gentle, goOd-natured, quiet, pious
and an excellent creature every way, but
she was hunchback. Her name was Ur-
sule. Taking advantage of the dark
night, she too plucked a sprig of apple
tree, sure that nobody saw her. She was
mistaken, however, as a fellow servant
saw her and made the servants hall ring
with peals of laughter AT poor Ursule's ex-
pense. Still they kept the secret to them
selves. They all agreed to play a trick
on poor Ursule On Faster Eve one of
the jOurneyman gardeners removed the
old sprig of apple from the vial in Ursule's
bed chamber and put in its place sprig
covered with blossoms. When Ursule
went into her bed chamb- + she could not
believe her eyes. She returned to the
servants hall, her face was radiant with
delight as She showed her trophy; the
laughter, leers, hootings of her comrades
revealed the trick put on her. She stood
dumb, confounded, trembling, scarcely
able to restrain her tears, Just at this
moment the mistress entered the servants
hall. An elderly servant explained the
scene to her. The mistress said: Ursule,
the apple tree sprig may be trusted ;
believe it. you will be married before
Christmas next; you are virtuous girl
| am sure you would make virtuous
wife; all you want to get a husband is
money; the money wanted will give
you. As she spoke the mistress twinod
a ,000f bank note around the sprig and
returned il to Ursule. A fortnight after
wards the journeymen gardener who had
put the trick on her asked her in mar
riage; but she refused him lat which ht
was greatly .jcered and married another

Ginges Tonic is popular among them, be-

CREAM TARTER.-Th Louisville Courier
Journal mentions an instance of promi-
nent family in Louisville who had been
exposed for three days to a case of small
pox. By the advice of friend they were
induced to try the efficacy of cream tartar
as prOphylatic against the disease. All
drank freely of it, in the proportion of an
ounce to pint Of water, and every mem
Der of the family escaped the contagion,
while the coachman, who was likewise
exposed to the case of smallpox in the
house, but did not drink the cream tartar
water, contracted the disease.

Pots versus Pianos.
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.

You want nice piano Jane"
Exclaimed d Mrs. A.
But you must study kitchen work
Before you learn to play.
To all-save those for treason lit.
No music in their souls
There's music in kettles song,
Ii sings upon the cOaS.
There's music in a coffee mill
trust you will not smile
When pronounce it good, because
'Tis in the hdndic style
There's music in a wash tub, TOO
rubbing board wol.': mar
When dirty ahects are music sheets,
And soap the finest bar
There's music in brush and broom
In all its parts complete
Suggesting thoughts Of dustless homes
With carpets nice and neat.
There's always music Wen cu0k
In pots and plates and spoons.
rattle roand with busy hands,
Without regard to tunes.
There's music sweet in sugar crushed
Beneath the rolling pin:
And liquid tones in pudding pans,
When milk is flowing in.
There's music in the CRATER rough
With grating tones, You say,
But spicy are the notes, when
The Nutmeg Polka play.
There's music all about the house,
In things find to do;
And music in my happy heart
To household duties true.
Dear daughter your mothers word
That it is music sweet,
Adapted to the song of wives
Who earn the bread they eat"
That music will learn, said Jane,
IN dutys voice obey;
The knobs and locks I'll clean and thus
The keynote strike to-day"
She did-hurah! She soon will learn
The household tactics all
Then wise and smart she'll wed the man
Who clothes at TOWER HALL.
With cash he'll save in clothing there
He'll buy without delay,
A nice piano forte" on which
His lcOrking wife may play.
Call and examine our immense assortment of men
and hoys and childrens clothing.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1882-03-09
The Democracy and Their One idea,


The Democracy and Their One Idea,
In discussing the prospects of parties,
our morning neighbor remarks that
organized as was the Republican party
upon questions relating to slavery alone,
it is'a difficult matter to thoroughly unite
il on other issues"
In 1852 the Democratic party had be-
come so exclusively devoted to "ques-
tions relating to slavery alone that dur
ing the presidential struggle of that year
it was reinforced by the ultra pro-slavery
Southern Wings. A manifesto was is
sued, signed by such Whig leaders as
Robert Toombs and Charles j. Faulkner,
setting forth the untrustworthiness of the
Whigparty on the slavery question. From
that time on slavery was the only Demo-
cratic shibboleth, and compliance with
the extreme demands of slavcry's cham
pions the sole test of political sound
ness in the Democratic party. The
repeal of the Missouri Compromise
and the substitution of popular sover-
eighty therefor was a Southern measure.
dominion, popular sovereignty was as
sailed as being nearly akin to abolition
ism, and Democrats who adhered to it
with Stephen A. Douglas oswere denounced
as "Mulattoes" and yellow Repub-
leans" Upon the final demand that
81 avery should be treated as an estab-
lished institution under Federal juris-
iction, instead of local institution
based on State laws, the slayeocracy dis
rupted the Democratic party and became
its successor. Having secured popular
pledges in all the Slave States that dis
union should follow the election of q
Republican President, and having in-
tentionally and deliberately secured Mr..
LinColn's election by their destruction of
the Democratic party at Charleston in
1860. this slavery party-still calling
itself Democratic-sought to destroy the
Union solely in order to establish a
nation of which slavery should be the
cornerstone.
For twenty-five years before the war
the Democratic party had not an idea OF
an aspiration, ameasure or policy, which
had not slavery for its body and SLAYER!
for its soul. 1t has lost its idol by the
war, and now lives only to hate the de
stroyers of that divine institution, and tC
hate the free niggers who were once
slaves. The Republican party was bon
ina fightagainst slavery aggressions, ant
it will live and bear sway so long as it
only political foe is party with no idei
but regret for slavery, hatred of the negro
and desire to be reyenged for the stripe
which have been well laid on its back b,
the American people at every presiden
tial election since that of 1856.
The Democratic negrophobia is dis
ease the curing of which would carry of
the patient, for the disease is the pa
tents only hold upon life.
