Lessons Of the Election.

" a. LiSIiiOus
A little study Of the election re-
turns over the country is fdlf Of
lessons to both parties. In Missouri
the republicans, aud in Kansas and
Nebraska the democrats, have prac-
tical demonstration Of the futility Of
political alliances and fusions to &C.
complish anything except party dis
credit. The results in a whole tier Of
western states should teach the demo.
Gratis that they have nothing to ex-
pect from that quarter but desertion
and %treachery except ia "hard times.
In a campaign involving all the prin-
clples Of the democratic party there
would be more hope for Pennsylvania
that for Colorado, Nebraska, or Wyo-
ming. The results ID Ohio mean TINT

When WI Ting Fang, the famous Chin
csc Minister to Washington, irritable and
somewhat forgetful from severe cold,
missed one day from the front of his cap the
immense diamond he always wears there,
he was dreadfully frightened. A friend
pointed out that the statesman had mad
vertently donned his turban wrong side
before, and that the diamond was safe in
the rear. Had WI Ting Fang been wear
ing Benson's Porous Plaster on hs chest
or back to cure his cold, he never would
have doubted its location. He would have
felt it doing its work, warming and max

the pain and soreness, promoting the free
circulation of the blood, stimulating the
skin and lungs to proper action, and so
dissoluing and banishing the malady. Thus

Once more to sit beside the king
In juggling cap and piebald vest,
And hear the audience chamber ring
With laughter at my latest Jest.
Once more to stand behind his chair.
Ana, while the lords and ladies dine,
To take from his own hand my share
OF dainty peat or fragrant wine!
once more to hear my merry quip
Run ;ippling round the joyous court!
Yea, cen once more TO feel the whip
For the sharp wound bestowed IN sportl
Men tell me now the ancient fire
Has left my words. my wits wax dull;

And 'l-once wont 70 dine with kings

For broken meat the scuiiion brings,

Forced IN their method framed by rule;
They surely lack the vital flame

There was a touch OF fuil-throatcd
