FACTS.

There is but one true Democracy and
Grover Cleveland is it's prophet. He
stands today where he has always
stood without varia bleness or shadow
of turning squarely on the National
Platform. Every one knows now ani
has known from the beginning of his
public career where he stood. He have
been thoroughly consistent at all times,
and under all circumstances, and is
today as true an exemplifer of true
and good government Gs any man who
lives upon American soil So true that
he is now the strongest man in the
Democratic party, and but for the pre-
cedent of his predecessors in declining
third term would sweep the country
for the democratic nomination in 1895.
Like our able and conservative con.
temporary of the vicksburg Post, we
have no horrors of third term. We
do not advocate it, or urge Mr.. Cleve-
land for it, but precedents like prom
ises can possibly be better observed in
the breach than the keeping Web
no idea that Mr.. Cleveland would seek
the position or hold it, except by the
unanamous wish of the people of his
party. Coming thus, 40 man could re-
fuse any Office. In time of crisis or
yreat danger, that leader Of greatest
SnowD aud tried ability must be the
leliverer regardless OF precedent or

HIS LUCK SAVED HIM.

Kew Very Bashful Young Man Hap
pened to Become Engaged.
There have been tales and tales about
funny proposals, but the following
Is about the most original on record.
There resides in Syracuse young man
who has called on a young lady for
three or four years, and fairly worships
the ground she walks on. But his one
trouble has been his bashfulness. He
could never brace up the point Of pro-
posing, though the girl, who also
thinks great deal of him, gave him all
the possible chances. To-day the couple
are engaged, and this is the way it came
about. - .
During the spell Of good sleighing q
few weeks ago, says the Syracuse IN.
" Post, the young man took his lady
love out in smart cutter. Never q
word of love was said. They got to
talking about handwritings, and the
young man said that he had about the
worst hand Imaginable. The young
lady was fine penman, and as the
young man praised it, he added fervent-
", without any matrimonial intent:
'Oh, I wish I had your hand!"
Something was then said about this
is SO sudden" and the next day the
young man purchased the ring.

set no curious variation of his bust
ness of humbug, and his speciality is
the telling of fortunes by means Of
moles. He pretends to be able to read
character and make prophecies by
means of these blemishes of skin. It
would bother other than an ingenious
man to put this method into practical
use, but the difficulties are surmounted
by the professor in question. He has
printed on cards four outlines of the
female human figure showing the
form from each point Of the compass,

visit are provided with set Of these
cards, which they must take home and
mark just in the right spot with the

FRED DOUGLASS STORY.
How He Used to Tell the Tale of Hi
Rise in Life.

How He Used to Tell the Tale of His
Rise in Life.
A dozen years ago Mr.. Douglass went
back to Talbot county, Md, where he
was born a slave, to buy some of the
property which in the old days he was
forbidden by law to own, because ma
ture had colored his skin brown, and
white men had, by their superior
strength, been able to buy and sell his
ancestors. While there he was invited
to address a colored school, and this
was what he said, says Kate Fields
Washington:
II once knew little colored boy
whose mother and father died when he
was but six years old. He was slave
and had no one to care for him. He
slept on a dirt floor in hovel, and in
cold weather would crawl into a meal
bag head foremost and leave his feet
in the ashes to keep them warm. Often
he would roast an ear of corn and eat it
to satisfy his hunger, and many times
has he crawled under the barn or stable
and secured eggs, which he would roast
in the fire and eat. i. !.
''That boy did not wear pants like
you do, but tow lit1en shirt. Schools
were unknown to him, and he learned
TO spell from an old Webster's spelling
book and to read and write from post
ers on cellar and barn doors, while boys
and men would help him. He would
then preach and speak, and soon be-
came well known. He became presi-
Dental elector, United States marshal,
United States recorder, United States
diplomat and accumulated some
wealth. He wore broadcloth and didn't
have to divide crumbs with the dogs
under the table. That boy was Freder-
lex Douglass.
What was possible for me is posi-
bic for you. Don't think because you
are colored you can't accomplish any
thing. Strive earnestly to add to your
knowledge. So long as you remain in
ignorance SO long will you fail to COM
mand the respect Of your fellow men. {"

THE PARTING HOUR.

There's something in the parting hour"
Will chill the Warmest heart
Yet kindred, comrades. lovers, friends,
Are fated all to part;
But this I've seen-and many page
Has pressed it on my mind
The one who goes is happier
Than those he leaves behind.
No matter what the journey be,
Adventurous, dangerous. far,
To the wild deep or dark frontier.
To solitude or war
Still something cheers the heart that dares
In all of human kind.
And they that 60 are happier
Than those they leave behind.
The bride goes to the bridegroom's home
With doubtings and with tears.
But does not hope her rainbow spread
Across her cloudy fears?
Alas! the mother who remains.
What comfort can she find,
But this-the gone is happier
Than one she leaves behind.
Have you friend-a comrade dear
An old and valued friend?
Be sure your term of sweet concourse
At length will have an end.
And when You part-as part you will
O take it not unkind
If he who goes is happier @ @
Than you he leaves behind!
God Wills it so-and so it is;
The pilgrims on their way,
Though weak and worn, more cheerful are
Than all the rest who stay;
And when, at last, poor man, euDdued,
Lies down to death resigned,
May he not still be happier far
Than those he leaves behind?
