Results of Democratic Success.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Honesty has made long stride to
the front since President Cleveland
has had direction of national affairs.
The polls no longer need protection
as they did under Republican Presi-
dents. 1t doesn't require millions of
money to pay deputy marshalls; it
did two years ago, under Arthur.
Then there was not a Congressional
district in the United States where
thugs and scoundrels, with marshals'
badges, and armed with pistol and
bludgeon, could influence the result,
that they were not mustered by bat
tallions and turned loose upon the
community. This year, under a
Democratic President, there will not
be deputy marshall at the polls in
the United States. Two years ago
there were $4,000 of them paid out of
the United States treasury to work for
the Republican ticket: The Republi-
can administration could not trust
the people to vote. The Democratic
administration can, and does. No
one wants deputy marshals any more
if we except East st, Louis, where
somebody asked for them and they
were denied. But why is it that the
Republican leaders are not clamoring
for them this year, as they did form
erly? Is it because they believe that
the elections this year for Congress
men are going to be honest and fair a?
They certainly do. And is not this
conclusive proof that honest elections
and Democratic administration came
together? AS long as the Republi-
cans controlled the national admins
tration it required millions of dollars
to pay United States supervisors OF
election and deputy marshals to pre-
vent fraud and rascality. BY the
time the Democratic administration
is twenty months old thereformation
is so great that not a supervisor or
marshal is necessary in the United
States. The American people were
wise when they changed theadminis-
tration..

Unwound Clocks.

Sword and Trowel.
In a hotel was a number of clocks
-one, at least, for each room but as
they each told a different story, they
were fever depended on, and if you
did believe them you were sure to be
deceived. The fact was, all these
time-pieces were out of order, or had
not been wound up. Nothing could
be learned from them; they were or
namental apologies for clocks, moth
ing more. Even so the example of
protesting Christians is of small SER
vice to the world if the real power of
goodness is absent. Religion, when
it ceases to be useful, and is only set
up for decorative purposes, is an ut
terly vain thing. If we are not
wound up by the divine hand, we
cannot 60, and if we are not going
we are useless, we contradict each
other, and we teach the world moth
ing worth its knowing. 1t is great
pity when, for the lack of the inward,
the outward becomes total failure
When force has departed from the
handspring, the face and hands Of
mere profession are wretched mock.

General Jackson as a Farmer.

James Parton iH American Agriculturist
All accounts agree that General
Jackson was a vigorous, vigilant and
always successful farmer. To use the
language of the country, he "made
good crops" The extraordinary fer
tility of the soil rendered this COM
paratively easy task; but the crops on
the Jackson estate were exceptionally
large, even for that productive land.
In middle life he was man Of no
ticeable activity, of brisk, quiet
movement, and capable of long-con-
tinued exertion. He "looked after
everything" as old Hannah remark
ed. He was also a man of fore
thought, and laid out the work Of the
plantation with care and skill. One
of his neighbors said: eff Andrew
Jackson heard lamb bleating in the
night he would get up and see to it."
His strong point as planter was,
however, the constant care he took of
his slaves. He was a thoughtful and
wise master, although one of his
overseers complained that he was too
indulgent, which made discipline
difficult when he was at home. On
retiring from mercantile business in
somewhat embarrassed circum-
stances, he had but about forty
slaves, but these increased in mum
Der, until at the time of his death he
possessed more than hundred
and could put into the field work
ing force of forty hands. They were
like so many children under liberal
and patient father. eyes," said one
of his overseers, she half-spoiled some
of his negroes, and if they got into
trouble, right or wrong, they flew tt
him, and he would get them off, if il
were possible to do it."

Manly Courtesy Illustrated.

A young lady of tender years, but
of evident precocity of discernment,
gives about the true idea of manly
courtesy. Speaking of two clerks in
the express office, says the San Fran
ciscan, one of whom was a somewhat
serious person whose dancing days
were avowedly past, the other an
adept in the art of shining in society:

addressing the aforementioned gentle
man, "yes, 1 know; Charlie can make
lovely bow, can take off his hat
like a prince, and has a delightfully."-
defferential manner toward ladies,
but 1 think you are, after all, much
the finer gentleman of the two"
"Why, how SOP" said the astonish.
ed senior.
"Well, when Charlie goes to the
widow 1 can tell just by his face
whether the lady is young, hand
some, well dressed or otherwise; but
when you go, no one would know
from your manner whether you are
waiting on a washerwoman or the
Queen of Sheba."
And this is about as concise a sum
mary of the distinction between the
solid and veneered article as can bt
found.

There is no reason why an object
should not be useful as well as orna-
mental. Indeed, there can be no
beauty without fitness. Nature every
where teaches us the compatibility of
the highest utility with the greatest
beauty.
And SO with beauty and truth.
There may be truth without beauty ;
but there is no beauty without truth.
TRUTH, BEAUTY, and UTILITY, are
the inseparable trinity of the ideal
home. Let us then write them upon
the portals fthe house as the epitome
of all that is most admirable in Re-
ligion, in Art, and in everyday life.

LORENA.

The years creep slowly by, Lorena,
The snow is on the grass again;
The suns low down the sky, Lorena,
The frost CLEANS where the flowers have
been.
But the heart throbs on as warmly now
AS when the summer days were nigh;
Oh! the sun can never dip so low,
Adown affections cloudless sky.
A hundred months have passed, Lorena,
Since last held that hand in mine,
And felt thy pulse beat fast, Lorena,
Though mine beat faster far than thine
A hundred months-'twas Towering May,
When up that billy slope we climbed,
To watch the dying of the day,
And hear the distant church bells chime.
We loved each other then, Lorena,
More than we ever dared to tell;
And what we might have been, Lorena,
Had but our loving prospered well,
But, then, tits past, the years are gone,
I'll not call up their shadowy forms;
I'll say to them-lost years, sleep on,
Sleep on, nor heed life's feeting storms
The story of that past, Lorena,
Alas l care not to repeat;
The hopes that could not last, Lorena,
They lived, but only lived to cheat.
would not cause cen one regret
To rankle in thy bosom now;
For eff we try we may forget"
Were words of thine long years ago.
Yes, these were words of thine, Lorena,
They burn within my memory yet;
They touched some distant cord, Lorena,
That thrills ard trembles with regret;
Twas not thy woman's heart that spoke,
Thy heart was always true to me-;
A duty, stern and pressing, broke
The tie which linked my soul to thee.
1t matters little now, Lorena,
The past is in the eternal past;
Our heads will soon lie low, Lorena,
Life's tide is ebbing out so fast;
There is future, Oh thank God!
Of life this is SO small part,
IT'S dust to dust beneath the sod
But there-up there tits heart to heart.

Educate the Women.

Nowhere in the wide world is the
education of the children left so COM
pletely to women as in America.
Whether right or wrong, it is a fact
that the fathers are but little acquain-
ted with their children. During the
day they scarcely see each other, and
in the evening "pa" is either too
tired to fully enter into sympathy
with the children's instructions or
pleasure, and at best is either me-
chanically petting them for mo-
ment, or scolding them if he happens
to be in bad humor. So, if there is
any home training to be done, it
must be done by themothers at home.
The wild boy, the giddy girl, must
be tanned and held in check by the
mother. Mothers alone can listen
with an interest unequalled by any
other member of the household to
the real or imaginary troubles of
their children, and thus controlling
their studies and polishing their
manners. 1t is the mothers in Ameri-
ca who mould and shape the minds
and characters of the citizen of the
future. Our sons, who in time to
come, will uphold our standard of
liberty, of culture and refinement,
imbibe these qualities and convic-
tions-nay, their very manhood
from their mothers. This being true,
how necessary it is that our daugh-
t@s, the future mothers of the coming
generation, should be fully equipped
to discharge their duties in the de-
velopment of the moral qualities of
their offspring.
Woman's heart, her sentiment, her
mind, rules the conduct of man. 1t
is to her we must look for the eleva-
ton and publication of society; and
a nations worth can best be judged
by the intellectual condition of its
women. While the small percentage
of women who devote their time to
!delving among moth-eaten literature
are admired neither by men nor wo-
men, yet all advanced thinkers have
occasion to rejoice at the rapid intel
lectual progress of the woman of to-
day. She assures to mankinda steady
mental and moral promotion, for the
educated woman is as much the SUI
perior of the uneducated one in moral
nature as she is in her capacity of fit
ness for discharging all duties of the
home. Domestic drudgery is thing
of the past. Labor saving inventions
have taken from woman many of hel
former burdens, and her days need
no longer to be divided between the
coOk-stove, the spinning-wheel and
the needle. Nor will her education
in the least impair her efficiency as 6
housekeeper; and above all, her lib
eraD education will afford the best
means and opportunities to employ
the hours left her from domestic du
ties, and thus escape the frivolities,
shoppings, gossipings, envies and
jealousies, and all other like traits
which are chiefly found in vulgar
uncultivated and illiterate women

) better hold upon cultivated nature

The Ideal Home.

Montague Marks in Beck's Journal.
The ideal home beautiful is attained
rather by avoiding errors of taste than
by the adoption of special dogmas of
art. For my own part, if l have any
dogmas to preach they may fairly be
condensed in this one rule: "Avoid
shams and affectations of all kinds"
Don't mistake mere prettiness for
beauty. Millinery, for instance, is
out of place in the home beautiful.
Don't attach to your chairs ands sofa
cushions meaningless bows of ribbon
which tie nothing.
Don't dress up your toilet tables in
muslin petticoats stiffened with crino-
line or colored calico.
on'tscatter startling white "tidies"
about chairs and sofas as on so many
bushes, as if you were hanging out

Don't display on your walls china
plates and dishes. They were never
meant to go there. An exception
may be made now and then in favor
of a piece of fine color to help light
up the room, or where a delicate Chi
ma painting is worthy of careful ex-
animation. But hang up ordinary
domestic china! Don't!
Don't hang small pictures so that
their beauty is lost to any one under
eight feet high. fla picture is not
seen from the same position that the
artist saw it when he painted it, the
drawing will appear foreshortened
and the general effect consequently
falsifed.
Don't hang any picture in the home
which has not the impress of elegance
purity and cheerfulness.
Don't give place to representations
OF corpses, tortured saints, or any.
