The world grows old. and men grow cold
To each while seeking treasure,
And what with want, and care and toll,
We scarce have time for pleasure;
But never mind, that is loss
Not much TO be lamented;
Life rolls on gailv if we will


But smile aud be contented.
If we are poor and would be rich,
1t will not be by piuing;
No, steady hearts and hopeful minds
Are life's bright silver lining.
There's nc'er a man that dared to hope,
Hath of his choice repented;
The happiest souls on earth are those
Who smile and are contented.
When grief doth come to rack the heart,
And fortune bids us sorrow,
From hope we may blessing reap,
And consolation borrow.
If thorns NAV rise where roses bloom,
1t cannot be prevented:
So make the best of life you can,
And smile and be contented..

GIVING THE DEVIL ms DUE.-There is a
point in the following anecdote: A person
was making call upon an old lady, who made
it an habitual rule never TO speak i'll Of another,
and had observed it so closely that she always
justified those whom she heard evil spoken of.
Before the old lady made her appearance in
the parlor, her several children were speaking
of this popularity Of their mother, and one Of
them playiully said: "Mother has such
habit of speaking well Of everybody, that do
believeif Satan himself were the subject Of con-
versation, mother would find out some virtue
or good quality even in him" OF course this
remark elected some smiling and merrinent at
the originality Of the idea, in the midst Of
which the old lady entered.the room, and on
being told what had just been said, she imme-
diately and inyoluntarily replied "Well, my
children, wish we all had Satan's industry
and perseverance"

assembled at Madison, that If Con-
gress should insist on negro outrage
as the basis Of reconstruction at the
South, we should be obliged to keep
. standing army there in order to
prevent war of races.


General Grant, in the report
which he made in December, 1865,
said the condition of tho South was
so good, SO quiet-so fine a feeling
prevailing among tho people of the
South-that the army, with . very
few exceptions, can be withdrawn.
But Congress insists upon this new
Radical policy of forcing negro suf-
fragc down the throats Of tho whito
people, and therefore the necessity
Of keeping tho army at the South,
and keeping the Freedman's Bureau
there to manipulate the negroes and
organize them as a Radical party.


General Frank p. Blair, in his
speech at Lcavcnworth, Kansas, cx-
plains the reason of this remarkable
change of front on the part of Gen.
Grant. It is not because he has
been converted to the negro suffrage
doctrine; it is not because he hates
or has any particular antipathy to
the people Of the South. But he
sees that the Radical policy is cal
culated to enhance the Importance
Of military men and make their voice
omnipotent in the administration Of
the Government. He recognizes
the fact that they are making steps
in a path which leads to a military
despotism. Hence Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, and other ambitious mill
tary leaders, give to that party the
weight of their means, their power
and influence. It is we'll for the
people to understand this. and to
bear in mind constantly that in all
ages of the world it has been the
perfidy of military leaders which has
crushed out liberty in republics.

1Hey say tHere SnoulQ De no
doubt of Grant carrying at least
these. They hope for others, of
course, but venture to count only
the above. This estimate, there
fore, is q concession and admits the
failure of radicalism in the great
States that have hitherto given it
force in the nation.


But what right have they to count
even the States they name? They
count them on the strength Of past
votes ;. but this is a time in which
people 60 completely over from one
side to the other of political divis-
ions, as we recently saw in Oregon.
From the fact that we arc reason
ing for such a period we should be
very slow to project the future from
the past. New York is not counted
for Grant, because of recent chang
cs; but how can any man say that
changes Of the same tendency will
not drop from the Grant list several
OF tine otates given


How many of the States named
above are so positively strong in the
radical faith that they can be count
ed upon despite contingency? Only
two-Massachusetts and Maine
These alone are sure. It's, however
in the very highest degree probable
that Grant will carry seven other
States in the list Rhode Island,
Mfsm9sat KaaRsas aaa Ms.isaSnssss.ssa, 1sys
Hampshire is not by any means a
certainty for Grant, while Indiana
and Illinois, in the absence of slave
ry and the broad war issue, are
Democratic States, and will in all
likelihood indicate . we'll defined
sympathy with the rcactionary
movements against the party they
have acted with for the last two
Presidential elections. No man
has any right to count West Virgin
ia for any party. It has no record
cd prcdilcction. It has only voted
in one Presidency. and then it de-
cided for the war, and for the simple
reason that its right to decide at
all, even its existence as . State,
would at that time have been de-
MED by the other party.


Ohio is somewhat in the same po-
sition as Indiana and Illinois. 1t
was Dcmocratic State in the old
days, but went with the Rcpubli-
cans on new issues. Can republi-
cans count on the continued support
Of a people that keeps its eyes open
for new lssues-that can seperate
itself from party as it sees occasion,
and never permits party to outliyc
its crimes against humanity


Five Southern States arc includ:
ed in the Grant list but we need
scarcely say that that is founding
Grant s. chances on q very shaky
foundation.


OF the one hundred and fifty -nino
votes above estimated as nearly
certain for Grant it is quite safe to
| say that at least one hundred are
equally likely to 60 for Seymour.

A TOAD UNDREssING.-Audubon
relates that he once saw a toad un-
dress himself. He commenced by
pressing his elbows hard against his
sides, and rubbing downwards. AT
ter few smart rubs his hide began
to burst open along his back. He
kept on working until he worked al
his skin into folds on his sides and
hips then, grasping one hind leg will
his hands, he hauled off one leg of hi;
pants the same as anybody would
then stripped off the hind leg in the
same way. He then took his cast-off
skin forward between his fore legs In,
to his mouth and swallowed it; then
by raising and lowering his head, swal
lowing as his head came down, he
stripped off his skin underneath, unit
it came to its fore legs then, grasplng
one of these with the opposite hand
by a single motion of the head, and
while swallowing, he drew it from the
neck and swallowed the whole.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE. "Wachus-
ett,' the well-informed correspondent
of the Boston Advertiser, thus refers
to the place of Mr.. Chase:


Chief Justice Chase occupies a sin
gular position in this episode of our
history. Ever since he assumed the


judicial ermine he has been heartily
abused because he did not rise above
the plane of party. He seemed am
bilious for the Presidency, and he was
constantly told that he did not appre-
ciate the loftiness, the value of the
great Office of head of the supreme
bench. Now at last. he seems to
have learned the lesson. Taught
something, perhaps, in regard to the
perils of the Presidency by the strait
into which the present incumbent of
that Office has fallen-taught some


thing, perhaps, of the magnitude and
responsibilities of the Chief Justice
ship by the great duty he has himself


been called to perform-he has at


last thrown off the trammels of parti-


sanship. Aspirations for political


advancement have been cast aside and


the Chief Justice represents simply


Justice and nothing lower. Upon


this Mr.. Chase is assailed with detrac


ton, to which the assaults made upon
his former attitude were as nothing il


comparison. Bitterness greets hin
on every side. Sneers reach hin
from the press. sneers from the Senate
sneers from the counsel, between whom
he strives to hold an even hand.


The boldness, the virulence of these
attacks can never be appreciated by
any one who has not personally watch

The Governor has no doubt that the people

but in time when they are restive under OK
