Now, what are you going to dor We have
heard Of your dissatisfaction and bite, ness
c,ncerning your inglorious defeat yester.

There is but one Of two things that you
must do.


You must either accept your vassaIags

for you; or yeu must bolt Take your
choice; it is immaterial to US If you wish
to join the Democratic ranks you can do 20
on taking the oath; or you can stay away
and sweat it out where you are. We shall
not ask you to come over; fot We have but
little confidence in proselytes made by that
sort Of repentance. On the whole we think
It Is better for you to stay where you are.
You are pretty well managed. You climb
upon the factious hobby once in while ;
but down you come fiat on your backs, every
time; and the higher you get the harder you
fall. No; we think you had better accept
your fate; stay where you are and become
more loyal subjects Of him who holds your
political destines in his strong right hand.
You will fare better to bear your servitude
with meekness becoming your condition,
rather than to chafc and fret in your harness.
Then, your master is lot SO bad a man, aftcf
all. We confess to an admiration for the
man who claims commanding position as
his right, and has the nerve and energy to
maintain it. We love to read over and over

do admire in man that superior prowess-


autocratic and overbearing though it may
be. which raises him superior to all obstacles
and hurls defiance in the teeth of all oppo-

TIE SANE HERE.-The late Confederate
General JEFF. Thompson tells the editor
Of the Louisville Jo0rnal that the only
persons in the South who wish TO do any

any when they had q chance. This is
just the case in the North, If We may
judge the North by California. Those
who are blatant with demands for ex-
IRENE measures against the South, are the
men who shared none of the dangers or

the blood and suffering of the mass Of the

war, are the most anxious for peace and

who are opposed to peace.

There may be some mothers who feel it
to be sel-denial to leave their parlors, or
|fresides, or work, to put their little chill
dren to bed. They think that the nurse


could do it just as well; that it is of no


consequence who hears the children say


their prayers. rasb. rr v,tsu!e. ,,aal p


= Now, setting aside the pleasure of OPEN
ing the little bed and tucking the darling


up, there are really important reasons why
the mother should not yield this privilege


to any one. In the first place, it is the
time of all times when the child is inclined
to show its confidence and affection. All
its. little secrets come out with more truth
and less restraint; its naughtiness through
the day can be reproved and talked over
with less excitement, and with the tender
ness and calinness necessary to make per-
manent impressions.


If the little one has shown desire to do
well and be obedient, It's effort and success
can be acknowledged and commended in
a manner that need not renderit vain or
self satisfied. f


! We must make it habit to talk to our
children, in order to get from them an ex-
preston Of their feelings. We cannot un-
derstand the character OF these little ones
committed to our care unless we do. And
if we do not know what they are, we shall
not be able to govern them wisely, or edu-
cate them as their different natures de-
mand.


Certainly it would be unjust to excite
young children by too much conversation
with them just before going to bed. Ev-
cry mother who carefully studies the tenn
permanent Of her children will know how
to manage them in this respect.


But Of this all mothers may be as
sured, that the last words at night are of
great Importance, even to the babies of
the flock; the very tone of the voice they
last listened to make animpression on their
sensitive organization.


Mother, do not think the time and
strength wasted which you spend in re-
viewing the day with your little boy or
girl; do not neglect to teach it how to
pray, and to pray for it in simple and earn
est language which it can understand
Soothe and quiet its little heart after the
experience of the day. 1t has had its dis
and trials as well as its play
and pleasures; it is ready to throw its
arms around your neck, and take its good
night kiss.-Mother's Magazine.

Quite an amusing incident occurred at
the market recently. Twelve years ago
an honest and industrious German left the
fatherland to try his luck in the United
States. He arrived in this country, went
to work and wrote to his wife to join him
with three children. His wife got his let
ter and sailed to New York, where she ar
rived safely. She could not find her hus-
band. And gave him up for lost after
long and fruitless search.


She worked her way through to De-
troit, where, as she was selling grapes in
the market, man STEPPED up and asked the
price ofthem. The husband recognized
in her his long lost wife. When she found
who he was, the scene can better be inn
imagined than described. The husband
had joined the Union army and served du-
ring the war. He arrived here and went
directly to the market, little expecting the
happy meeting that was awaiting him.

In the discussion before the people of

las said:


ri hold that Negro is not and never
ought to be a citizen Of the United States
l hold that this Government was made
upon white basis by white men for the
benefit Of white men and their posterity
forever, and should be administered by
white men and none others. l do not be-
lieve that the Almighty made the negro
capable OF self-government. Now, l say
b you, my fellow citizens, that in my opin.
ion the signers of the Declaration Of In
dependence had no reference to the Ne.
gro whatever when they declared all men
created equal. They desired to express
by that phrase white men Of European
birth, and had no reference to the Negro
the savage Indian or other inferior or de-
graded races. At that time every one ol
tho thirteen colonies was a slave-holding
colony and every signer Of Tho Declara
tion represented slave holding coustitu
ency and we know that no one Of them
emancipated his slaves much less offered
citizenship to them when they signed the
Declaration"
