IT is not merely the multiplicity of
tints, the gladness of tone, or the balmi-
ness of the air which delight in the
spring; it is the still consecrated spirit
OF hope, the prophecy of happy days yet
to come; the endless variety of nature,
with presentiments of eternal flowers
which never shall fade, and sympathy
with the blessedness of the ever -devei-
oping world.

IDLENEss is the grand Pacific Ocean
of life, and in that stagnant abyss the
most salutary things produce no good,
the most noxious no evil. Vice, indeed,
abstractedly considered, may be, and
often is engendered in idleness; but the
moment it becomes efficiently vice, it
must quit its cradle and cease to be
idle.

THE true art of being agreeable is to
appear well pleased with the company,
and rather seem well entertained with
them than to bring entertainment to
them. A man thus disposed may have
not much learning, nor any wit; but if
he has common sense, and something
friendly in his behavior, it conciliates
mems minds more than the brightest
parts without this disposition.

Ed, Clarion-Ledger:
AS the year rolls on the subject o

ing the attention Of our people, ant
it is thought that it is now time Il
makes new departure in this matter
have never heard it, that the lega
fraternity have any inherited or
| pat ent right to this distinguished po-
sition. If am not mistaken this
State has had but two Governors that
were not lawyers. | do not say this
because | have any prejudice against
the legal profession, and | cheerfully
acknowledge that as profession
they rank above any other in intelli-
gence, with no higher moral quail
ties than any other educated set OF
men. Besides that have we not al
Attorney General to advise the Gov
arnor on all difficult questions in
volving the interests of the people?
What We want now is business
man--one who knows enough of
Federal and State Constitution to
keep within the restriction Of rights
and duty, and in cases Of emergency
call upon his constitutional advisor.
Our local interests should engage the
thoughts and energies of our next
Governor. There are so many inter-
1sts arising from our agricultural,
financial and manufacturing condi-
tiOns that man Of pract ical study
on all these absorbing questions will
oe of signal service to the state. The
county Of Grenada set good exam
pie the other day in the selection OF |
County Treasurer, and The business |

lave ouedence in the honesty of the
but the leading idea was
hat man who knows how to make
money aud keep it for his own bene-
it would BE- a very proper custodian

If now the Democratic party will
.Iect DR.. p. w. Peoples, Of your city,
'e will have a business Governor,
Or he is a business man, well read
n all general topics, familiar with |
Wr past legislation, and has the grit
} say and do what duty commands. |
lr Peoples is a good writer, and can
lAke a strong, practical speech; in |
act We need little blood injected |

In conclusion, let ME state, as to

The same feeling that has existed

THE "DEMSIr1oN HoRRrD GRIND.

The funny man sat at his desk one day
And Sharpened his pencil long,
Then started to right with all his might
The words of a TO licking song;
For the managing editor, stern and grim,
In planning the work that day
Had said in a solemn tone 10 him,
To ''drive dull care away
From the readers minds" so he'd begun
To grind a column of boisterous fun.
He punned on his worn and threadbare coat,
Then glanced at his shabby hat
And quickly, with nervous hand, he wrote
A laughable joke on that
He thought of his suffering babe at home,
And his eyes began to CLEAN
With humor bright as his hand would write
Some fun that would make men scream;
Then he thought of his sad wife's anxious tears
And wrote some jokes that would live for years
He wrote his joke, and verse. and pun,
Pure coin from humor's mint,
Nor paused I'LL his task was fairly done
And he had finished his stint;
Then quietly crept out into the night,
And home to his sad-eyed wife.
And with her he watched for death to smite
His child. and end the strife;
For while his pencil had laughter bred
His brain was filed with terrible dread.
And so it happened that the very next day,
While readers far and wide
Laughed long and loud in boisterous way,
He sat at a collins side.
The world moved on; but little it rocked
His sorrow cruel and keen:
To furnish folks fun was all they expect
From the brains OF a hired machine;
So Selling once more his pencil then
He Stifted his sorrow to grind again.

ONLY A DAY.

The life of man is but a day
Twill pass away,
tbs but day.
With joy, with sorrow, or with friend.
He only hiss short time to spend:
For soon all hopes and fears will blend
in golden sunset at the end.
And then the lowering angels say.
'''Twas but day,
T has passed away"
At early dawn he is boy
He is a boy.
He laughs and sings in purest glee;
He cares for naught he cannot see
He lives and grows content TO be.
With mind and heart and conscience free
But when he breaks this fragile toy
Mo more of joy.
No more a boy.
At noon he stands upon a throne
Among his own,
Upon throne.
His brow is knit while standing there
OF those about him none seem fair;
For what he has he does not care.
But ever looks for something rare.
When 10 he seems to stand alone
Where are his own?
Where is his throne?
AT dewy eve his strength gives way
He's old and gray,
His strength gives way.
And while he grieves for battles lost;
He murmurs that his hopes were crossed
The fires grow dim, he's touched by frost
An Idle ship on LIES waves tossed.
" His life hear the angels say,
''Was but day,
IT has passed away"
The life of man is but day
Twill pass away,
IT'S but day.
Each moment should we duly prize
In which We may some plan devise
For aiding friend or toe to rise
With US into Gods Paradise
" Well DONE the angels then will say,
"a glorious day
Has passed away"
