cur local democrats seem to prefer -
await surer tidings, remembering their
previousness eight years ago.
The following are the exact majorities
in this county according to the official
CANVASS: Cleveland 5000, Fratt 1861,
Falk 2021, Bragg 1924. On county
officers the average democratic majority is
about 1900.
The immense vote cast in this town on
election day (546) was surprise to the
republicans, aud many have expressed the
o,inion that at least so of these Votes were
imported from Horizon for the purpose
of increasing the vote for the democratic
candidate for the assembly whose major
itv in the district by such means was
swelIed to 1856. The defeat Of the Re

"Well. sir. [ do ike clvIlty when |

the drawing room bell one evening,
when Siner was out, Martha had a
variety of name for the handsome nut
latto,-"and there was Mr.. Barker read
ing without his spectacles, looking quite
nice and amiable-quite different, as l
may say; hut directly | said, did you
please to ring, siry' he roars out not
for YOU and growled, and threw his
slipper at me. | was that frightened,
it gave me the spasms.'
Though the doctor laughed at this, as
Mary did he looked somewhat thought
full.
Give that to Mrs. Coombes, - he said,
taking Il sovereign from his wastcoat
pocket, land keep this for yourself,
Martha, and try to remember that,
wherever you are, it is better to take
things cheerfully as they come than
fight against them by complaints. You
will find the truth of that, even when
you are married to the young man of
your own
you are very kind, SIR the girl an
swered, "and | will remember, and
hope my mistress will not think any
thing of what said, it was only man
ner of saying it,"
~ should be sorry to part with you,
Martha" said Mary, in gentle voice,
and then, much TO DR.. Ilyde's distress,
Martha burst into tears. She went 10
her room and had good cry, being too
proud to let the cook see her, then when
she entered the kitchen little later,
she told the cook that Doctor Hyde was
an angel, and they had the best mistress
in the world.
And you mark my words" Martha
added, land see if it don't come to pass.
OF course he is only a doctor, but doc
tor can't help being man. He's in
love with her."
"Who is?'
Doctor Hyde and missis."
II shouldn't wonder, when you come
to think of it." said Mrs. Coombes,
solemnly, as she folded up her sover-
eign in little bit of flannel, and put it
away somewhere in the upper portion
of her dress, land good thing too,
there would be some pleasure in cook
ing for them; and, l say, Martha, do
you think they really mean me 10 go?'
"Lor' bless you, no, she is too tender
hearted; half word would do it. Only
no more grumbling, let's take things
cheerfully as they come, bother the old
gentleman up stairs and his man, too.
All we have to got to do is to mind our
own business"

OUR LIVES ARE WHAT WE MAkI
THEN. The disappontments and
heart-burnings in career come Target !
from our false standards of success.
We are over-educatcd in the view that
wealth. income and expenditure are its
only indices In the absorbing rush
for more money come the tamperiny
with trust funds. peculations and SUI
cides. which are the sociological pro-
Dlems Of the hour
But when properly trained aud fitted,
as certain as the rising aud setting OF
the sun so sure is the Doctor of position
and income sufficient for clean and
hea thful lie and .ts opportunities for
usefulness and honor. The first few
wears Of selt-denial and struggle are not
the dreaded evils they are pictured. but
rather the athletes training. the sol
dier's discipline, their hardships forgot
ten. their experience and value happily
remembered after the victory. We
lawyers are accustomed to saying that
we owe To you the most lucrative part
of our practice ting the wills and
settling the estates of your victims.
Every professional, every educated
man, owes something to the communi-
" in which he lives. All the educa-
tional. humanitarian. social and pOliti-
cal work of the neighborhood have le-
gitimate and imperative claims upon
him His advantages impose upon him
public activities and, in a sense, leader
ship. The doctors opportunities sur
pass all others. The demands upon
the pulpit to-day are so great that the
pastor become almost an impossibilty.
On the worldly side. as guide, adviser,
friend, the doctor takes his place. The
most sacred secrets of the family are
his. He settles the disputes, reconciles
the estran5ed, reclaims the lost, and
soOthes the sorrowing. In its largest
and fullest sense he is and must be a
teacher, and his quiet influence reaches
all classes and conditions. He should
be then Republic-informed and inter-
ested i'll all public questions, the friend
Of good government, the enemy of bad
rulers. But he cannot 90 to the Legis-
lature or Congress without running both
his practice and professional standing.
His strength is the confidence his pa
tients have in his personal skill and H.
deity, and it cannot be transferred.
The public-spirited doctor is always
popular. and ambition sometimes tempts
him to listen to the flattering plaudlts Of
his fellow-citizens, but no physician ev-
er tried it who did not regret it the rest
of his life. | know of no career so full
rounded, so successful in the best sense,
as that Of an old and faithful country
doctor Never much richer than his
modest home he has always had enough
for his simple wants. He has given his
children little Of fortune, but all that
was attainable of liberal education.
Every good cause has felt his influence,
and the poor his silent charity. In his
life ali OF every age feel that in him they
have friend, and when he dies they
know they have lost one.
