IARhERSBukGi w Esl A 0epe. Il.
To Chairman Of National Grecnback
Labor Senatorial Contention.
SIR: AT my earliest opportunity
/ deem it proper to acknowledge
your favor, notifying me Of my NOM
ination as the candidate for the
Senate.
regret very much that our no
BILE champion, Col. Washington
Smith could not ma se the race, as
he is a man eminently fitted to
represent the farmers Of this State
in the Senate, and it is with ex-
treme reluctance that / take his
place in the contest.
have not sought this position,
as / am no politician and have no
aspirations for office, but as you
have thought proper to impose the
duty upon me, accept it in the
spirit in which it has been rendered.
/ am Greenback and Labor adj
vocate from principle. The first
vote ever cast was for Peter Coop
err, the noble patriot of the party
and the friend Of the laboriifg man
According to my convictions, the
only hope of the country is in the
success of the National Greenback
Labor Party, and as it seems so
difficult for men who have so long
worked in the harness of the old
Democratic and Republican parties
to break the letters of party and
look simply to the best interest Of
the country, ] place my hopes Of
success greatly upon the support
of the young men of this country,
who are now just taking the start
in politics. And ] appeal to them
irrespective of the predjudices OF
their early training, to come out
on the side of their country and
vote for that party the motto Of
which is the greatest amount OF
human happiness consistent with
liberty and unity.
In regard to State politics, ! can
only say that I am in favor of such
measures as will reduce the mum.
her of offices and curtail the bur
dens of taxation. Being no poll
tic:an, have little skill in but
ton-holeing the people, and shall
not, therefore attempt it. At the
same time / will feel grateful to all
who deem me- worthy to REPRESENT
them, for their suffrages.
! shall enter this contest with
out the slightest i'll will to my wor-
thy competitors and shall endeavor
to treat them as gentlemen. As
the time is short. / may not be
able to make as thorough a canvass
of the District as | could desire,
but l will do my best to reach the
largest part of it.
Very Respectfully,
GEORGE L. SPENCE.

Encouraging

We have received replies from
about twenty counties, to a circu-

submitting the amendment. About
four-ffths of all the candidates fa-
vor submission, and fully three
tourths of all those reported as like
ly to be elected are in favor of sub.
mission. Some are non-commit-
tai and very few opposed outright.

GooD NATURE.

What we dali good nature, is another in
gredieDt Of slch an importance in matrimo-
NAL state, that withoutit, the concord can
never be complete or the enjoyment sincere.
On which ACCOUNT it is both allowable and
even expedited. TO make some experiments be-
forehanu on the temper that is to blend or
ferment for lie with your own. II you find
it tickle and lwaverBg, she will sometime
storm like Match and sometimes weep like
April, not only with cause, but for want Of it !;
if sluggish and insensible, Der whole life will
be dead calm Of ipsipidiiy, without JOY for
your prosperity concerning the one or forward
ing the other if testy aud quarrelsome, you
will cherish hornet in your bosom, and feel
its sting every other moment in your heart
or if lporose and sullen, your dwelling will
be melancholy as ebarnel-house, and you
will be impatient for a funeral, though almost
Indifferent whether hers or your own. But
You must not be too scrupulously exact in this
scruting there are none of these jewels with
out flaws, and the very best method of endur-
ing their own faults, is to remove your own.

It is curious to look down the aisle of full
church and see at the end of every pew man.
Very seldom, indeed does woman sit at the
door of pew. Why? There is a reason for
that as fol every other phenomenon. Is it, as
our cynical estimate of human nature might
suggest, because men would naturally select
the most comfortable seat ? We must assign
more creditable reason, and see in the re-
maius of an old custom which originated in
the unsettled times when every colouist in
American towns took his gun with him to
place of public worship as defence in case of
Indian attack, then unfortunately but too COM
mon. The men in those days seated them
selves near the doors of the pews so that. upon
the first alarm Of danger they might be ready
to rush out of the building.

HEALTH NOTES. Cold feet reveal the fact
that circulation of the blood is impaired. The
blood does not reach the extremities In its
full flow. Use flesh brush severely on the
whole body or crash towel until the surface
is in glow, put the feet in warm water fire.
quently. Repeat this every night for week
and the circulation with vigorous exercise
will be restored to its normal condition, and
the feet will keep warm.
For toothache caused by cold, warm TO-
mentations are good. Take several thicknesses
of wooden cloth, wet with vinegar, put them
over a hot brick, heated piece of wood or
iron, and lay it Oh the painful tooth. Cover
the head and brick with blanket having
only place to breathe open.
An excellent tonic for bilousness is made
of pure hops alone, made into strong de-
coctiop, sweetened aud bottled for use. Make
it strong enough so that from one to three
teaspoonfuls make good dose.
Sage tea, spearmint tea, or salt and water
are good to drive worms from the throat and
stomach. Santonine, In two or three grain
doses at night, fasting, will expel them.
The mothers det is very frequently the
cause of sufferings IN the child. No acid
should be taken by the nursing mother.
A bag of heated salt. laid on the side or
back in scatica or stitch in the back will
afford astonishing relief

MISCELLANY.
SPEAKING A PIECE.


The other evening there was little COM
pany up on Dayton street, and during the en-.
tertanment the hostess dragged her little boy
to the front to ''speak piece"
Come, Johnny, like good boy, and speak
'Mary's Little Lamb for the asies and gen.
tlemen.''
Johnny knew that there was remuneration
ing Ueen aZf1angeu m an unuer tome, she
slicked his hair and be commenced:
"Mary had alitte fleece,
Its snow was hite as wool,
And every time that Mary lambed
That fleece would go to school,"
Now, now, Johnny said his mother
.syou know that isn't right Say it just as
you did this afternoon, and Tll"-here she
broke into maternal whisper, and the boy
commenced again
I" Mary had a little lamb,
Whose snow white as fleece.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb would go apiece.
"Johnny johnny ! - chded The mother,
"That isn't right. Speak it right this time.
The ladies and gentlemen never heard it.
Now go on ~
Once more the little fraud went at it:
" Mary had a little snow,
Its lcecewas lined with white
And everywhere the lamb would so
Mary was sure TO bite"
"What naughty boy y exclaimed the
proud mother, who bad been training the
child all the afternoon for this display
"Now speak It right, or mamma won't kiss
you when you go to bed"
Thus prepared, the boy perpetrated himself
once more :
g Mary had little wool,
It's fleece was lined with snow
And every one that Mary feeced
he white was sure to show"
"Pm ashamed of you, Johnny, that you
don't speak it right You must do it this
time, or mamma will have to punish you.,
s. | won't +" bawed the uIchin.
But his mother promised him some ad-
ditional candies or buns something that had
the great social advantage Of lying heavily on
his stomach and the little wretch began:
Mary had little school,
Its snow was fleece rs lamb
And everywhere that Mary went
You'd surely find that ram"
Then the guests very properly interfered,
and said it was shame to torment the sweet
child. He had done nobly and should have
his pay right off.
He had the candies and the buns and his
mother packed him off to bed while the COM
pany found solace in the reflection that before
morning he would be crying with the stom-
ach-ache and writbing under the nightmare.

Two BOYS THAT WERE HUNeRy.-One
of the most cunning aud polite little fellows
in the state of New Jersey, spent the day at
kind neighbours house, recently, while his
mamma was away on visit. His lunch
hour at home was,11, and at the usual time
he began to feel very hungry. But the fam
lily did not luuch till noon, and, as there were
PS sgpf Ct HaErz SSd sa Nth
forbade that he should ask for anything, and
yet he could not wait another minute. How
considerably he did it will appear.
Mrs Thompson, said he very earnest
ly, but very tendery, :" if you please-wil
you be SO very kind-as to give me something
to eat9 mean if it isn't too much trouble. I"
"Why, certainly, my DEAR she replied.
"W What would you like to have"
"Oh anything will do, ma am--anythng
he responded with nervous eagerness, " If it
isn't to expensive"
1t is needless to say that he got it immedi-
ately.
A very different kind of boy was Johnny
D., who was visiting neighbour, but not
in New Jersey. He was offered piece of
bread and butter, which he accepted, but not
with any great degree of enthusiasm.
What do you say, Johnny" said the
lady, expecting him to say thank you"
81 say it amt cake" was the response.

MATRIMONIAL ApY1oE.

The Women at Work says sit was ex-
cellent advice saw lately given to young
ladies urging them to marry only gentlemen
or not to marry at all. The word was used in
its broadcast, truest sense. 1t did not have
reference to those who had fine raiment and
white hands, and the veneering of society
polish, merely, to enitle them to the dis
tinction, but to those possessed of true manly
and noble qualities however hard their hands
and sunbrowned their faces. A true gentle
man is generous and unselfsh. He regards
another's happiness and welfare as we'll as his
own. You will see the trait running through
all his actions. A man who is bear at home
among his sisters and discourteous TO his
mother, is Just the man to avoid when you
come to the great question which is to be an
swered yes or no. A man may be ever SO
rustic in his early surroundings, if he ia a true
gentleman he will not bring blush to your
cheek in any society by his absurd behavior.
There is an instructive politeness inherent In
such character, which everywhere commands
is---one of natures noblemen. Do not
despair, girls there are such men still in the
world. You need not all die old maids. But
wait until the princes pass by. No harm IN
delay. You will not be apt to find him in the
ballroom, and know he will never be seen
walking up from the liquor saloon. Nor is he
champion billiard player. He has not had
time to become Champion for he has had
too much honest, earnest work to do in the
world. have always observed that these
champions were seldom good for much else
Be very wary IN choosing, girls, when so
much is at stake. Do not mistake passing
fancy for undyng love. Marrying in haste
rarely ends we'll. Do not resent too much the
interference of parents. You will travel long
and far in this world before you will find any
one who has your true interest at heart more
than your father and mother, and age and ex-
perence have given them an insight to char
acter which is much beyond your own. 1t is
very unsafe to marry man against whom SO
wise friend has warned you. never yet
knew of a runaway match that was not follow
ed by deep trouble in one way or another, and
matches made : in spite are pretty sure to
end in lifelong repentance.
