Have our readers taken in the inn
port of theslate dispatches from WASH
ington, that Malone had been waited
on by delegation of Republicans, and
had expressed his pleasure at the prosO
pect of defeating the enemy in several
Southern States ?" Who is this enemy :?
Why, no other. of course, than the Dem
ocratic party. Now the time has come
when no true Democrat, be he debt
payer or be he Readjuster, can follow
the fortunes of Malone. He and his
crew have gone over to the Republicans,
horse, foot and dragons. There are
thousands of good Democrats in Vir-
ginia, especially in the Southwest and
the Valley, who supported him on the
debt question, but who would see him
sunk thousand fathoms beyond the
sound of plummet before they would
follow his treacherous lead into the rad.

0 little feet! that such long years
Must wander on through hopes and fears,
Must ache and bleed beneath your load;
I, nearer to the wayside inn
Where toll shall cease and rest begin,
Am weary, thinking of your road!
o little hands that, weak or strong,
Have still to serve or rule so'long,
Have still SO long to give or ask;
/, who so much with book and pen
Have toiled among my fellow-meD.
Am weary. thinking of your task
o little hearts throb and beat
With such impatient, feverish heat,
Such limitless and strong desires;
Mine that so long has glowed and burned
With passions into ashes turned,
Now covers and conceals its fires.
o little souls as pure and white
And crystalline as rays oflight
Direct from heaven, their source divine;
Refracted through the mist of years.
How red my setting sun appears!
How lurid looks this soul of mine!

REMEDY FOR SwEENY.-We wish to
offer an unprofessional remedy used by
ourselves when, as plow- boy on the old
farm, we wrestled with the various
problems connected with our duties.
We then cured sweeny with invariable
success by daily pounding the depression
caused by the wasted muscles, using our
fist, stone or stick for the purpose.
Medically speaking, we percussed the
strophy. We doubt if there is any case
Of sweeny that will not yield to persist
ent percussion. Old chronic cases will,
of course, require longer time than the
acute. The shoulder should be bathed
daily with water, and where possible,
rest should be given the animal, as a
speedier cure will be effected if not
worked. We venture to say that no
process of cure which involves the use
of medical counter-ir -irritants in the shape
of blisters. setOns, liniments, etc., will
restore atrophied muscles as quickly
and permanently as our boyish prac-
tice. Yet it is open to the very grave OBJ
lection of costing nothing but few
minutes daily effort of mind and mus
Gle, and the average horseman is as op-
posed TO any such heterodox exclusively
hygienic measures as a Chinaman is to

Charles Reade's EpitOme OF Women.
fInteryiew In pbiladelnbia Press.l

Interview in Philadelphia Press.]
"Mr. Reade, a recent criticism says
you have studied the woman more than
the man in your literary work, and
that you have made"
'tYes, saw that. l see everything,
but not blindly. 1t said that / made
her painfully realistic to any one who
looked at her as did-cross- eyed. Not
so. My friend. she is just like a man,
like ourselves, but with certain tenden.
cies we call womanly. Like ourselves,
she ardently desires love. She knows
1t is the best, absolutely the best thing
the world has to give; that we are all
BORN for love, man and woman alike;
that to lack this consummate and su-
preme blessing is to lose the best part
nf life. She desires above all things to
be wOoed, and is forbidden to WOO OIL
her own account She conceals her
own thoughts, yet from her experience
in hiding she is quick at reading the
thoughts of others. She is satisfied
with nothing less than she herself gives,
which is all herself. Her reserve leads
her, in the lower natures, to deceit and
falsehood. Her devotion, which is part
of her nature, leads her also in the
lower natures to suspicion and jealousy.
She is always in the house, therefore
her mind is apt to run in narrow
grooves. The prodigality and waste
iulness of men are things beyond her
understanding or patience. She is un-
versed in affairs, and therefore under
stands nothing of compromise. She is
generally ill educated, and therefore is
incapable of forming a judgment, hence
she is carried away by every word of
doctrine; as, for instance, in matters
ecclesiastical. Knowing nothing of the
early church or its history, she believes
the poor little ritualist curate, who
knows, indeed, no more than herself;
or on art, where for want of standard
she is led astray by every fad and fash
ion of the day, and worships sad-faced
fiatness with rapture /; or in dress, where
ner taste being uncultivated, she puts on
whatever is most hideous and unbecom-
ing, provided it is worn by every body
else. This is the woman l present to
my readers. She is not, at all events,
insipid-no real women are. If she is
artificial, the real woman shows from
underneath. What love most is the
woman whom fashion has not spoiled
the true feminine woman, with her nat
ural passion, her jealousy, her devotion.
her love of admiration, her fidelity, her
righteous wrath, her maternal terOcity,
her narrow faith, her rshrewdness-even
her audscity of falsehood when that can
serve her purpose, and finally her per-
feet self-abnegation. That's the wo-
man believe in. That is the creature
that is human. She is nature"

Be Willing to Learn.

A man progresses just as long as he is
willing to learn, but progression ceases
whenever he reaches that point where
he places his knowledge in the balance
against that of all other men. Strange
as it may appear, there are good many
just such men as this in the world.
Some cannot be taught anything, no
matter to what branch of human
knowledge it belongs. Others are per-
feet in only one thing, and that relates
to the business they follow. It is here
that this egOtistical importance works
the most mischief, for it always cripples
a man sigsefulness in life.
There is another class of persons who
will accept knowledge only from those
whom they acknowledge as superiors
They must know the source of every
item of information, and it is rejected
as error or accepted as truth accord
ingly- They never think, reason or
experiment for themselves, and hence
their belief and practice exhibit q
strange mixture of the practicable and
impracticable. of truth and error. The
truly progressive, class accept truth
wherever they find it, and reject moth
ing because of its source. A hint drop
ped from the beggar's lips is just as val
uaDle as though it came from royalty
itself. These are the men who do think,
reason and experiment for themselves.
Like the miner, it is the gold they are
after, and like him they never reject it
because it is associated with dross and
dirt, but go resolutely to work to sepa
rate the pure from the impure, retain
Ing only the former.
We heard prominent agriculturist
say in an address that no class of people
were so unwilling to learn of others as
farmers. We don't believe it. Farm.
ers are like other men in this respect
no better or no worse There is large
class of them, however, who have too
much confidence in their own methods,
drawn from their own experience alone,
and can see little merit in other mems
methods. Experience is good school,
but man cheats himself most outra-
geously when he imagines that his own
experience is all he needs on the farm.
Empiricism is as applicable to the
farmer as to the doctor, and one who
practices it is just as much of.a Quack
as the other.
A farmer with broad, liberal views of
his occupation, whose eyes and ears are
always open, willing to accept and use
every fact that comes to him, no matter
from what source, is man to be ad-
miied and respected wherever you find
him. He stands in delightful contrast
to the man who blindly and obstinately
refuses all aid, and SCOTS at all authority
which conflicts with his methods or
contradicts his Opinions.-OHs ISnk-

PAY UP.-The Galesburg (Ill.) Free
Press thus grspples the great question
of finances: PAY up! If you owe but
a single dollar, go and pay it; when
there is so little money we ought to keep
it moving around lively. Jim owed us,
and we owed Bill, and the said Bill owed
the said Jim. Jim got mad, because we
made him pay one day last week but
we paid Bill, and Bill paid Jim, and
Jim went to bed that night as happy as
a clam at high water, with just as much
money as he had in the morning."

that will ruin the Democracy If it
