when pricked by it's thorns; that will deepen and strengthen noble aspirations by encouragement and approval, and af- fectionately and kindly restrain the wrong. Oh for humanity that condemns the evil, but that would save the doer. When in the deepest slough of despon- dend, when fate, despair and sorrow seem to overwhelm us with unbearable misery, a kiss upon the forehead by mother, wife, sister, daughter or sweet heart, impressed with the softness of down, with lips of the purity of the lilies and with the gentleness of an evening vesper, or the kindly grasp of the hand of a true friend will lift more trouble from the sorrow-stricken soul than could Hercules with the lever of Archimedes with the sun for its fulcum and the mar gin of space for its arc! Oh how much can be accomplished by kind words! If the tongue is the instrumentality that gives expression to the music of low
 ing, sympa thetic, affectionate soul 1t fills the ear with a concordant symphony that carries joy, peace and comfort to the heart. But if it be the instrumental ity that gives expression to the discord of mean, venormous soul 1t fills the world with falsehood and islander, and wounds and kills the heart. A soul thus repeatedly wounded may become so hard from the repeated scars as to be beyond hope of softening and retaining. The soul may be likened unto an ocean with the body for it's shores. And like the ocean, it may calm and serene, so that the timid craft may rest in safety upon its bosom and it's shores rest in peace; or it may become a seething sea. thrown by the tornadoes of passion or despair into the mightiest pillows. whose foam-cap- ped crests ride the highest masts and try the integrity of the strongest iron clad, severing from its lmoorings the strongest character and sending it adrift upon the high seas of time, to become a pirate upon the honor, virtue and morals of society. Oh, for some gentle hand
 some human hand, to arrest it in it's mad career and lead it gently into some safe harbor of peace and serenity, that, hv- ing upon love, sympathy and affection, it may be restored to it's once former estate of honor, virtue and morality.

to the approaching state convention," yet it has issued just such an invitation as s-that sent out short time since by the democratic committee of the United States. In taking this action the ten dencY of which will inevitably be to strengthen and build up the party in the state, the committee has committed no sin against democratic usage or prece- dent. It simply recognized the import anee of taking such action as will afford an opportunity for thousands of good men to get back in their old place In the organization of the democratic party; and we are confident that the conserva- tive action on the part of our committee will result in adding thousands of votes to the democratic ticket in the August election. Well done, good and faithful servants the democratic party will reap good fruit as the result of your labor Jacksonville Republican.
 It is doubtless the opinion of the com mittee that the party is no longer in dan- ger, and hence the necessity for quail fication prescription no longer exists: IT there is nc longer necessity Tor It there is no reason why any conservative voter who is willing to unite with the demo- cratic party in an "effort for pure eco nomical and constitutional government and who will support the nominees ana principles of the democratic party" should not be allowed to do so. II the party still needs the protection of qual- ification for voters who participate in it's deliberations the committee has done very unwise and disastrous thing in moi prescribing one, but if the committee IS right in it's conclusion that the party IS not in danger, it has done the magnani- nous thing in extending the olive branch to those who have wandered from their ia ther's house. In Russell county those who have stood by the old ship ana fought fer her supremacy will suffer no hardship in opening the door and extend ing the invitation. There are very few who left the party who have not come back, and if these few do come back un- der the invitation the breach will be heal ed and the future of the party will be marked by harmony and satisfaction in the ranks which only united democracy can bring forth. The committee has laid down the law and it is hoped that every democrat will accept it as being for the good of the party and get all the good out of it that can be had. The Register hopes the committe has acted wisely Russell Register.
